Chapter 281: It's About Champions League Qualification

Gao Zheng did start the game against Real Betis. Although Simeone made minor adjustments to the lineup for this game, Gao Zheng still appeared in the starting lineup to partner with Griezmann.

The offensive combination of Gao Zheng and Griezmann started together, which also guaranteed Atletico Madrid's offensive firepower.

So in the opening eight minutes, Gao Zheng opened the scoring for the team and helped Atletico Madrid take the lead in the away game.

This is also his tenth league goal this season, temporarily behind Neymar by two goals, ranking second in the league scorer list.

After the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half, Griezmann almost sealed the victory for Atletico Madrid in the 71st minute. His goal helped Atletico Madrid lead Real Betis 2:0.

The next game was uneventful, Simeone replaced Gao Zheng in advance to prepare for the Champions League group match against Galatasaray at home.

After Gao Zheng left the field, Benitez was unable to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal.

The final score was 2:0. Atletico Madrid won the away game, reopening the gap with Barcelona and leading the standings with a three-point advantage.

However, the league is a long process, and this three-point lead does not mean that Atletico Madrid can have the last laugh.

With the Champions League entering the knockout stage and the interference of the Copa del Rey, no one can say whether Atletico Madrid can still sit in this position.

It's just that Atletico Madrid is the leader in the league now. They are advancing in the Champions League and the league, and others are temporarily unable to compete.

Especially in the strong dialogue, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all made moves early this season and won all.

That's an amazing performance.

In the past, Atlético de Madrid were all targets for Real Madrid and Barcelona to score points, and it would be a very satisfactory result to get third in the league.

Now, after winning the league championship for two consecutive seasons, whether it is Atletico Madrid's own fans, neutral fans, or media reporters, they all have more expectations for this team.

Everyone is a little tired of seeing the situation of the "Western Super League duo" in which Real Madrid and Barcelona take turns. They all hope that there will be a team that can bring you something fresh and different.

※※※

After the league, the top three of the Western Super League turned around and invested in the Champions League.

If Atletico Madrid can beat Galatasaray at home, then the overall situation is sealed, regardless of the record of Benfica and Astana.

But the actual situation may be reversed-no matter what the result of Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray is, after the game between Benfica and Astana, whether Atletico Madrid can qualify for the group may be known.

Because the game between Benfica and Astana kicked off and ended earlier than the game between Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray.

The reason is the same as when Atletico Madrid played away against Astana, because of the time difference.

The game started at nine o'clock in the evening local time in Astana, and at that time in Madrid, it was still five o'clock in the afternoon.

If Benfica can't capture Astana's frozen home court, then with Atletico Madrid's current points, even if they lose to Galatasaray at home, they will get the right to qualify for the group in advance. And in the last round, the group can be determined first through a direct dialogue with Benfica.

So this match between Astana and Benfica at home, Atletico Madrid is also very concerned.

Astana faced Benfica at home, which was different from when they faced Atletico Madrid. Facing Atletico Madrid they wanted to defend, but facing Benfica, they wanted to attack boldly.

Nineteen minutes into the game, Astana took the lead. Twelve minutes later, Astana scored another goal to extend the score to 2:0.

If this score is maintained until the end, Atletico Madrid will be able to qualify for the group stage even if they have a two-game losing streak in the end, but the possibility of a two-game losing streak is really too low.

However, Benfica was still very tenacious. They pulled back a goal before the end of the first half, and scored again in the 72nd minute, rewriting the score to 2:2.

Then the two sides tried their best, neither Benfica nor Astana could accept the result of the draw.

Astana is hoping to reap their first Champions League victory, which is already the best chance.

And Benfica hopes to win their opponents and catch up with Atletico Madrid in points, so that they can compete with Atletico Madrid for the first place in the group in the final round of the group stage.

But until the end of the game, neither side scored again.

The two teams shook hands 2:2.

In this way, Benfica's points, which played a game first, became eight points.

If Galatasaray can beat Atletico Madrid in the next game, the points will become seven points. Then the last round of this group will be interesting.

But how could Atlético allow this to happen in their own stadium?

※※※

"GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" All Atlético Madrid fans in the entire Calderón Stadium shouted so loudly.

Although there is only one letter difference, the pronunciation is different from "GOL", so you can still hear who everyone is shouting for.

When they shouted that, it was after Gao Zheng scored a goal. This was Gao Zheng's way of celebrating a goal.

Amidst their roars, Gao Zheng ran backwards towards the corner flag area. At the same time, he smiled and waved to his teammates, signaling them to come up and celebrate with him.

"Only thirteen minutes into the game, Gao Zheng opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid! This is a good sign! As long as they can beat Galatasaray at home, Atletico Madrid will not only lock in the qualifying spot for the group, but also advance one round Locked in the first place in the group! Let their away game against Benfica in the last round of the group stage be meaningless!" He Ping said happily.

Atletico Madrid once again entered the Champions League knockout round, and Gao Zheng is the key figure in it.

There are players in China who can be the absolute core of such a team. This situation is really something that can't even be dreamed of.

Now whether it is him, the commentator, the Chinese fans, or the football reporters, everyone has a very special affection for Gao Zheng, and they pin their affection for Chinese football on Gao Zheng.

Of course, the reason why it is special is because everyone has complicated emotions when facing Gao Zheng.

On the one hand, they applaud his outstanding performance, but on the other hand, they have higher demands on Gao Zheng.

I think when the Chinese team was preparing for the Asian Cup, there was a lot of quarreling on the Internet about whether Gao Zheng should come back early to participate in the training camp. The reporter of Six Star Sports made a special report called "Gao Zheng Zheng, grit your teeth for us! ", which means that since the national team and the club can't settle down, then Gao Zheng, you will suffer, so run more.

"Tired will definitely be very tiring, but I only hope that Gao Zheng can endure it for the sake of the national football team and grit his teeth, because the national football team really cannot live without you..."

Although this media was scolded bloody on the Internet because of this report, this statement really represents the views of a large number of people.

That is, there is no reason and no condition to win glory for the country. Even if you break your leg to win glory for the country, you, Gao Zheng, should have no hesitation.

After all, Chinese football has been in misery for too long. Finally, a "Hope of the Whole Village" came out. Everyone was like a drowning person, flopping about, and once they caught something, they would hold on to it tightly. Well, whatever it was, it was their hope of survival.

So many rescuers were dragged into the water by the drowning people in this way, and sacrificed in vain.

In the eyes of those sane Chinese fans, the Chinese fans represented by Six Star Sports are actually those drowning people who are throwing around indiscriminately. They may consume Gao Zheng to death because of their strong desire to survive.

Fortunately, Gao Zheng withstood the pressure of those people in the country, and did not fly back to the country as soon as his brain got hot. But because of this, he also has some sunspots in the country.

It's funny to say that a football hero in a country even has his own compatriots who spare no effort to hack him online.

It seemed unbelievable, like a made-up story. But think about how Liu Xiang, the "flying man" at the 110-meter hurdles, was hacked so badly in the first place? Until Liu Xiang's retirement, there were still endless criticisms of him on the Internet. Some people swear that Liu Xiang is not a hero, but a liar, a despicable and shameless villain who only knows how to make money.

Liu Xiang, who is highly respected in other countries, can't hear good things in his own country, which is really pitiful.

Given the example of Liu Xiang, why is it surprising that Gao Zheng can also be hacked?

And these sunspots have not always stood firm. When Gao Zheng achieved good grades, they would also cheer for Gao Zheng, mixing with those who supported Gao Zheng, they couldn't tell at all. It can be said that when Gao Zheng behaves badly, they can immediately smear their faces, turn their faces away, and scold them more fiercely and harshly than anyone else, as if Gao Zheng fucked their mother.

When they scolded Gao Zheng, they didn't think that they also enjoyed the joy and glory that Gao Zheng brought them. They even felt that Gao Zheng should bring them these things for granted. He didn't do a good job, so his scolding was justified and well-founded, without any psychological burden.

To be honest, although there are not many shameless people like this, they do exist.

Those who supported Gao Zheng were arguing with these people on the Internet, but they would not really convince the sunspots.

We are all grown-ups, how could we change our views just because we had a few quarrels with others?

Just like the star who was born as a draft singer. Isn't he going to fight Gao Zheng now?

When Gao Zheng failed to score in two consecutive rounds and Atletico Madrid was tied by Real Madrid, he was eccentric on Weibo. Everyone knew that he was targeting Gao Zheng.

But it's useless for you to rush in and scold you. They blocked you and continued to post scolding on Weibo.

What made Gao Zheng's supporters very angry was that it was impossible for Gao Zheng to deal with this kind of 18th-tier starlet, because with Gao Zheng's current popularity, if he just glanced at that starlet, he would be considered a loser. ...
