Chapter 20 Gao Zheng's Weakness?

"In the just-concluded Ramon Carranza Cup, Atletico Madrid had one win and one loss and missed the title. All Atletico Madrid's warm-up games have ended this time. In these warm-up games, they exposed some problems. The problems are small problems, but some problems cannot be ignored...”

"Atletico Madrid spent 100 million euros to rebuild their striker this season, but judging from these warm-up matches, the effect is not good. In these few games, Atletico Madrid only scored two goals in the game at most. , More often they scored a goal or didn't score a goal. For a strike partner worth 100 million euros, this kind of performance is obviously unqualified..."

"...that's why I think Gao's joining has strong commercial considerations, because Gao is not suitable for Atletico Madrid's tactics at all...Why do I say that? Did you pay attention to how many wings Atletico Madrid had last season? The attacking routine of taking the ball, letting the center forward to grab points in the penalty area? Atletico Madrid has a lot in terms of exploiting the wings, not just Diego Costa or David Villa, they are normal forwards, so they can Use those wide crosses to score goals..."

"Please pay attention to why I said that Diego Costa and David Villa are both normal strikers. What is the corresponding? Of course they are abnormal strikers! Who is the abnormal striker? In my opinion, the high He is a typical abnormal striker. Although he was able to score 33 league goals in Sampdoria last season and win the European Golden Boot, but this is in an abnormal team... Why do I Is it normal? Because the meaning of the existence of the Sampdoria team is to serve Gao. The whole team, from staffing to tactical design, is to give full play to Gao's advantages and avoid highlighting his weaknesses... This Is there anything wrong? There is nothing wrong with Sampdoria, their overall strength is weak and they need to rely on Gao. If Gao is not good at heading, then try not to pass the ball beyond the height of Gao's head..."

"As a center forward, is there anyone who is so bad at heading the ball like Gao? We carefully looked at Gao's 114 goals in Sampdoria, and none of them were headers! Dear readers, you Can you imagine? A tall forward with a height of 1.9 meters can't head the ball! Of course, it doesn't mean that every forward who is taller than 1.9 meters must be good at heading, but there are two different things: not good at all and not good at it Concept. No matter how bad a header is for a normal striker, it’s not enough to say that he doesn’t have a header, but Gao Zheng has none. Yes, none of them! That's why I say Gao is an abnormal striker... What happens when an abnormal striker comes to a normal team? It doesn't fit in. Yes, Atletico Madrid last season He is very mature with successful tactics, but Gao Dalai broke this stability. He is not suitable for Atletico Madrid's tactics, nor is he the striker that Atletico Madrid needs. So why did Simeone allow such a striker to come Go to your own team and break the original mature and stable tactical structure? There is only one reason, and that is the capital from China behind this transfer transaction..."

"...We're not saying that Gao is worth 75 million, we just think that for Atletico Madrid, he is not worth the price. He should not choose Atletico Madrid...Of course,

For Chinese fans, it will make them very happy that their idol player can join a big club like Atletico Madrid, and the worth of 75 million euros can also greatly satisfy their vanity. But after the initial hilarity and vanity, I'm afraid they will have to bear the bitterness brought by the endless ridicule..."

——"Daily Sports Daily" article "Gao Zheng is an abnormal striker".

※※※

In training, when Cork made a cross at a forty-five-degree angle and hoisted the football towards the penalty area, Gao Zheng in the penalty area jumped high and headed the football towards the goal.

Judging from the posture, this is a very beautiful header.

Goalkeeper Oblak has moved to his position and is ready for battle.

But Gao Zheng didn't hit the football.

The ball was pushed out by Godin before him.

After landing, Godin shouted excitedly to the sky, and Gao Zheng, who was right next to him, pushed him: "Hey!"

The others burst into laughter when they saw this scene.

They all knew too well how much Godin was upset about letting Gao Zheng score three goals on him.

After that game, although the team narrowly escaped death and won against Sampdoria, Godin was not happy at all.

Gao Zheng moved to Atletico Madrid. It can be said that the happiest person besides the head coach Diego Simeone is probably the second "Diego"-Diego Godin. Because Godin was able to confront Gao Zheng in training, for Godin, this was his chance to "revenge".

※※※

On the sidelines, fitness coach Ortega said to Simeone: "If I hadn't seen Gao Yong's goal in training, I would really believe the article in "Daily Sports"..."

"Compared with the legs, the high header is indeed much worse." Simeone said with a shrug. "But it's not as bad as they say. You must know that the reference is his skills. But I hope those people think so, anyway, it will not be us who will be unlucky."

※※※

Gao Zheng received a pass from his teammate with his back to Godin, and then he turned around and volleyed, which caught Godin off guard. Oblak also failed to catch the ball and let the ball fly into the goal.

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng spread his hands to Godin with a smile, but Godin had no temper at all.

The others laughed when they saw this scene.

Godin rolled his eyes violently amid everyone's jokes: "If you have the ability, try to prevent it!"

Others smiled and waved their hands again and again: "No defense, no defense, we are not central defenders!"

Godin glared at Cork again: "Next time you pass him a lob!"

Kirk spread his hands: "Diego, Gao and I are on the same team..."

"Oh, let's help him practice his header. You can see that he has a poor header. It is precisely the need to practice more with an excellent central defender like me in order to improve!"

Others exposed his lie: "Diego, you just want to take revenge?"

Godin pouted, then saw Xu Xin next to Gao Zheng, pointed at him and shouted, "Don't translate for him!"

Then he added: "This is to help him learn Spanish as soon as possible!"

Everyone laughed more happily.

"Look, 'Professor', take a step back and say: With such feet, why do you need a header?" Simeone said, pointing to the scene on the field.

"...Although the "Daily Sports Daily" article looks scary, it does make sense. Gao really can't head the ball. What do you think of this article?"

"That makes sense! "Daily Sports" is a well-known toilet paper-grade media! Do you know what 'toilet paper' is? It's only good for wiping your ass!"

"This answerer has a big tone. Barcelona's mouthpiece newspaper was used to wipe his ass? I'm afraid it's not a yellow dog?"

"Yellow dog, you sister! If you can't head the ball, you are not a normal forward? Gao Zheng who can't head the ball has scored more than a hundred goals. What's the matter, don't accept it? If you don't accept it, die!"

"The respondent's hostility is too great. Isn't it right for people to point out Gao Zheng's problems objectively? Fans like you will only give Gao Zheng the illusion of being invincible, which is not good for his growth!"

"I'm sorry, but as a fan of Gao Zheng, let me say something fair—whether Gao Zheng is crazy or not, it really has nothing to do with us fans..."

"Objectively speaking, I think Gao Zheng's inability to head the ball is indeed a problem, but it's not a big problem. He has superb feet, and his inability to head the ball is not a fatal weakness. The Barcelona media has exaggerated..."

...

The statement in the "Daily Sports Daily" article was quickly spread on the Internet. Some people thought that the media was right. Heading was indeed Gao Zheng's biggest weakness, and everyone knew it. And Atletico Madrid really pays attention to the tactics of the two wings. Most of their two full-backs will go straight to the striker when they receive the ball, the first point is Diego Costa, the second point is David Villa or Raul Garcia, this is the standard Points before and after to grab the configuration, and then Cork and Turan will judge whether to rush into the penalty area to try to pick up the leak according to the situation.

Arda Turan seized the opportunity to score Atletico Madrid's third goal in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea.

Gao Zheng is not good at heading, and it is really difficult to survive in Atletico Madrid's tactical system.

Some people also criticized Chinese fans for being too optimistic about Gao Zheng's transfer to Atletico Madrid. The reality is far more difficult than they thought. Moreover, they also criticized the optimism of Chinese fans for misleading Gao Zheng, affecting Gao Zheng's performance at Atletico Madrid, and making Gao Zheng wrongly underestimate the degree of difficulty he faced in the new environment.

These critics even said that if Gao Zheng fails to perform at Atletico Madrid, then the optimistic Chinese fans also need to take responsibility for it.

Those who oppose the "Daily Sports" think that "Daily Sports" is a well-known "toilet paper" media, and don't believe a word they say. When Gao Zheng was in Sampdoria, in the defensive Serie A league, he was able to score more than 30 goals per season without headers.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone's affection for Gao Zheng has been known to the world since the two sides played against each other last season. At that time, everyone doubted whether Simeone was the head coach of Atletico Madrid or Sampdoria. Will the head coach who admires Gao Zheng so much think that Gao Zheng's coming to his team is just a commercial act?

According to a report by a foreign media, the domestic fans started to quarrel again, but in the final analysis, this kind of quarrel is due to everyone's concern for Gao Zheng. If you don't care, who cares whether you live or die?

Because of caring, caring makes chaos.
