Prominence in Football Community

"...The evidence is conclusive. This is indeed Gao's new home in La Finca. He just moved in some time ago...He held a grand party here to entertain his teammates...Of course, the new house invites guests to come and play No big deal. But it's such a sensitive time period... Gao obviously didn't take into account the mood of the Atlético fans during this time..."

"What did I say!" Danielle Herrera stood up suddenly, pointed at the TV that was playing and shouted to everyone in the bar. "What did I say? I said that this Chinese person just wants to make money. He has no competition in his heart at all! No respect for fans? He doesn't even respect the team he plays for!"

This time was different from usual. No one stood up to refute him. Everyone was either staring at the TV screen silently, or drinking with their heads down.

Seeing this scene, Herrera was very proud: "I thought this cunning Chinese would be revealed later, but I didn't expect him to reveal his true colors so quickly! As I said, China People are here to grab our jobs and money. Don’t think that he is a member of the sports team because he wears the jersey of the sports team. He is not! He will never be the pride of the sports team! Let me tell you, it won’t be long before the true colors are revealed He will lose his position in the team, and after one season, we will say goodbye to him! As for where he will go to cheat money next, then I don’t care..."

Someone finally stood up and interrupted him: "Daniel, that's too much. How can you be so sure that he will lose his main position and will leave after one season?"

"Because I had expected that he would show his true colors, and his current performance has proved it! So my predictions about his future are all correct!" Daniel Herrera replied with his head held high, Appear very confident.

"To be honest, I'm also a little unhappy that Gao is having a party at this time, but I still think what you said is too absolute, Danielle. As for what will happen next, shouldn't we wait and see how he performs next?" Draw a conclusion?" the fan who refuted Herrera shook his head.

Herrera looked around and saw that people in the bar were just looking at them, but no one voiced support or disapproval.

This reminded him of the first time he opposed Gao Zheng here.

This group of stubborn and ignorant guys really can't see the coffin without crying!

"It doesn't matter, guys, time will tell everything, facts will prove what I said is right, let's see you then, and then you will understand me!" Herrera threw down this sentence angrily. Then, he walked out of the bar.

Behind him, the silent fans turned their heads to look at the TV screen. The guests and hosts on the show were still chatting about whether Gao Zheng didn't respect Atletico Madrid fans and Atletico Madrid enough.

When the car that Gao Zheng called his agent Viviano came out of the Mahadahonda training base, he was surrounded by reporters.

Everyone wanted to hear what he had to say about the party.

"I think it's normal, and I can't understand why the media has such a big reaction." Gao Zheng's first sentence surprised everyone present.

Generally speaking, in the face of this kind of criticism, players will be more timid, say some nice scenes, and express that they are definitely not what the media said.

There is no benefit in arguing with the media, but it will put yourself in a vortex of greater trouble. After all, players' lip service is far inferior to that of media reporters.

Therefore, the players have summed up a set of experience and lessons in their long-term relationship with the media, that is, in the face of criticism from the media, if it is not a big deal, then they should talk about the scene and let it go .

What I am most afraid of is that a small matter will become more and more troublesome.

However, these Spanish media reporters were so surprised, apparently because they were not very familiar with Gao Zheng.

Perhaps other players would be more comfortable talking to the media, and would consider not causing trouble, but Gao Zheng is not someone who is afraid of trouble...

He is known in Italy for being positive with the media, but now it seems that his "notoriety" in the Italian media has not yet fully spread to the Spanish media.

"Players are human too, shouldn't they enjoy a normal life?" Gao Zheng asked rhetorically.

Gao Zheng's "very uncooperative" attitude seemed to irritate the reporter. Some people questioned: "The problem is that the team is in trouble now. The Champions League group stage was lost, and the home league was not won... Under such circumstances, how can we say What about enjoying life, don't you think it's too cold-blooded?"

"So after the team loses, the players should go on a hunger strike for a day to apologize?"

Gao Zheng's rhetorical question was beyond the other party's expectation. He retorted: "I didn't mean that..."

"So what do you mean? When we have a party after winning the ball, will you criticize us for getting carried away? A season is very long, and no one can guarantee that we can always win and perform well in this long season. There will be no ups and downs in the state. The most important thing for players in this long season is to learn to self-regulate. Don’t be proud when you win the game, and don’t be discouraged when you lose the game-isn’t this a normal thing? Is this difficult? Understand?" Gao Zheng asked rhetorically, "I admit that the current situation may be considered unfavorable, so we should let everyone relax and don't always fall into those negative emotions. Only in this way can we regain our strength and welcome the victory. That's why I called everyone over to my house to play - I've moved and that's a really good excuse - what's wrong with that? I think players are human too and have emotions to vent and relax when tired You know how to take a vacation when you are tired from work, and you know how to relax and solve problems when you encounter difficulties. How can you not put it on the players?"

"I don't want to offend anyone, because I don't think it's a big deal to go two games. It's definitely not something that happens once in a season. When you look back at the whole season, you will find today. How insignificant are the two games that you are so concerned about. In addition, when you encounter problems and solve problems, but the place to solve problems is on the court, not in my yard."

After finishing speaking, Gao Zheng motioned for Viviano to drive away. He didn't give the reporters a chance to ask questions. Anyway, he should have finished speaking.

"Sure enough, how important it is to learn a foreign language!" In the car, Gao Zheng said to Viviano with a long sigh.

"I think those who want you to speak Spanish as soon as possible definitely don't want you to fight with reporters..." Viviano complained.

"It wasn't an argument, Andrea. I simply educated the reporter and told them not to make a fuss."

Viviano curled his lips, but in his heart he also felt that the Spanish media reporters were making too much of a fuss, as if they were always looking for opportunities to black Gaozheng, but in the end there were no good opportunities, so they could only grab this and make a big deal out of it.

After a moment of silence, Viviano reminded Gao Zheng: "But Gao Zheng, after you say these words, you have to show a decent performance, otherwise those reporters with magnifying glasses will be waiting to find fault with you."

"I know, Andre, I won't let them have their way."

Gao Zheng swiped his phone with his head down, and replied in a casual tone.
