Chapter 40 Returning to China
"gao!!!gao!!!gaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!" Jose Maria also learned the word "gaol" invented by the Italian commentator, which is specifically used to refer to Gao Zheng's goal score.
Atletico Madrid fans at Calderon Stadium also made such roars:
“gaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
In fact, after the Spanish Super Cup, Madrid's media were spreading the word that was neither English nor Spanish to Atletico Madrid fans.
They told the fans that this was a word invented by Italy. Combining the goal "golgoal" and Gao Zheng's surname "gao" to form a brand new word, the specific sign was "Gao Zheng's goal". Only after Gao Zheng scored the goal can this word be used, and no one else can do it.
After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng did not run to the corner flag area in the deafening cheers, nor went to the south stand to please the "Athletic Front" of Atletico Madrid's extreme fans. Instead, he raised his arms high and celebrated the goal with a smile.
His teammates rushed up and hugged him, celebrating the goal with him.
"When Gao Gang first joined Atletico Madrid, some media once swore that Gao needed an adaptation period, because Serie A and La Liga are completely different. The one he is used to in Serie A is not universal to La Liga... But now Gao has proved with practical actions that he does not need to adapt. Whether it is Serie A or La Liga, it is the same for him. In the Spanish Super Cup, two goals and one assist, and one goal and one assist were scored in two rounds of La Liga. Where does this performance need to be adapted to? "

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Eibar 2-0 with goals from Miranda and Gao Zheng at its home court, achieving two consecutive league wins.
Like Barcelona, they are the only two teams in the league that have maintained two consecutive victories, with the same score of six points, but because the goal difference is one less than Barcelona, they are temporarily ranked second. However, the final ranking of the La Liga does not look at the goal difference. In the case of the same score, they first look at the results of the two sides when they meet each other.
So as long as Atletico Madrid has the advantage in the final match against Barcelona, the final league ranking can be above Barcelona.
This is not impossible for Atletico Madrid to complete the task. It met Barcelona twice in the league last season. Atletico Madrid tied Barcelona 0:0 at home and 1:1 away, and was not at all inferior.
The media believe that Gao Zheng scored a goal against Eibar, which shows that he is in a good state.
This is definitely a major benefit for Atletico Madrid, which will play the Madrid city derby next time. If Atletico Madrid is a listed club, then their stock price will definitely rise after this game...
Because Gao Zheng's goals in this game can bring investors enough confidence.
"Real Madrid should be careful because their goal is already within high range!"
This media title made Real Madrid fans very unhappy, but they thought for a long time and couldn't seem to refute it, because in the Spanish Super Cup that ended earlier, Gao Zheng had already broken through their goal. If they didn't score, they could still say that the media was talking nonsense, how could the Real Madrid goal be broken by that kid?
But if someone really does it, you can't be shady from this perspective.
Therefore, Real Madrid fans are particularly frustrated. In addition to hoping that their home team can defeat Atletico Madrid at home, another biggest goal is to be able to score a goal in the game without letting Gao Zheng score.
At that time, they can in turn mock Gao Zheng. It seems that your range is a bit short, just like your jj.
The pro-Real Madrid media responded to the title of the pro-Atlético Madrid media.
"Hames's revenge!"
This is the title of "Marca" newspaper.
In the main text, "Marca" said that James Rodriguez is the only Real Madrid player to score in the Spanish Super Cup, but failed to help Real Madrid win the championship. Since joining Real Madrid, the Colombian star has been controversial. After all, he spent 75 million euros in the club's transfer fee, but failed to show that it is worth the money. Therefore, "Marca" believes that for the Madrid city derby in this league, although everyone will focus on superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Casillas, James Rodriguez must be full of fighting spirit and can't wait to take revenge. His performance in the game is more worth looking forward to.

But no matter how much fans of both sides look forward to this game, they have to wait for a while, because after the second round of the league ends, there will be two national team games.
It will take the Madrid city derby until the national team is finished.
Because of these two national team games, it will also bring some variables to the next Madrid derby. If any player on both sides is injured in the national team game, it will definitely affect the strength comparison of the two teams in the next game.
Gao Zheng, who had just scored a goal for Atletico Madrid, also left Madrid and returned to China to participate in two friendly matches of the national team.
This is a friendly match for the Asian Cup held in Australia in early 2015, so Gao Zheng must return home to participate in the competition.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he met with the new head coach after the national team changed his head coach. In fact, the national team changed his head coach at the beginning of this year, but before that, Gao Zheng missed three friendly matches and an Asian Cup qualifiers for the national team.
The reason was that the Chinese team had already advanced early, and Sampdoria was in the critical stage of playing the Champions League and the league, so the club and the Chinese Football Association reached an agreement early and did not call Gao Zheng back to China to participate in the competition.
Gao Zheng did not participate in the remaining three warm-up matches, on the one hand, to give him a rest, on the other hand, Gao Zheng had just transferred to Atletico Madrid. If he wanted to return to China to play two meaningless warm-up matches, it would delay his training and running-in with the new team, which might affect his performance throughout the next season, so there was no arrangement for Gao Zheng to come back.
It can be said that although the Chinese Football Association has many things to be scolded, they are still doing nothing wrong in supporting Gao Zheng. After all, Gao Zheng is the current face of Chinese football and the focus of attention. It is indeed impossible for them to do too much.
In this way, after entering 2014, Gao Zheng has not participated in a national team game, and the Chinese team without Gao Zheng only won one game in these four games and lost two games. In one of the last Asian Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team lost to Iraq 1:3 away. In the friendly match, the Chinese team lost 1:3 to Mali at home in the warm-up match on July 29. The only game that won was the friendly match 2:0 home defeat of Macedonia.
Although the head coach was changed, Alan Perrin, who once coached Lyon to win the Ligue 1 championship and French Cup championship, replaced the interim coach Fu Bo, but the Chinese team's performance did not improve immediately. Through these four games, everyone found that the most important thing was not the head coach, but Gao Zheng.
As long as Gao Zheng is there, even if Fu Bo leads the team, he can get good results. However, if Gao Zheng is not there, even the head coach who has won the championship in Europe will be difficult to coach in China...
Therefore, four months after the Asian Cup, Gao Zheng could never enjoy privileges and was free from the preparations of the national team. This is the last sprint time for the Chinese team to prepare for the Asian Cup, and he must be in the team.
When Gao Zheng finally arrived at Anshan Tengao Airport through Beijing, the small airport was remembered by reporters and fans who rushed to the news.
That scene was far better than when the national team arrived in Anshan to prepare for the battle.
