Chapter 144 Welcome Back to Madrid

The final outcome of the Asian Cup was that the host Australia defeated Iraq 2:1 in the final, winning the Asian Cup for the first time in history.

The whole of Australia was in a frenzy.

But this has nothing to do with Chinese fans or Gao Zheng.

After the Asian Cup, Chinese fans are full of hope for the Chinese team's trip to the world preliminaries.

It is even more impossible for Gao Zheng to be distracted by the final results of the Asian Cup.

After more than ten hours of continuous flight, Gao Zheng appeared at Madrid's Barajas Airport.

When his agent Viviano picked him up at the airport, he said to Gao Zheng: "I found that there are media reporters waiting at the airport, and they should be waiting for you."

"yes?"

"Yeah, maybe there is a reporter's camera looking at our car at this time."

Gao Zheng smiled: "Then say hello to them."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand thinking of the other side of the road across the car.

Under the viaduct, he couldn't see clearly whether there were reporters ambushing under the shadows, anyway, he just waved there. If it wasn't to greet the reporters, it should be a greeting to the city of Madrid.

It has been a month and a half since he left the city. In the past, he might only have been away for such a long time during the summer vacation at the end of the season.

Viviano was right. There were indeed reporters waiting for Gao Zheng in the parking lot. Some reporters even followed Viviano's car all the way to the airport parking lot.

So Gao Zheng's waving photo soon appeared on the Internet.

Today is the era of Internet information, and many news will not appear in traditional media immediately, because if traditional newspapers have to wait for typesetting and printing, then even the best news will be fried.

The latest news must be on the Internet.

After the photo of Gao Zheng waving was posted on the Internet by reporters, it caused cheers from Atletico Madrid fans.

Many Atletico Madrid fans left messages under the photo: "Welcome back to Madrid, Gao!"

"We miss you!"

It seems that although Simeone maintains the team's internal unity atmosphere,

He didn't directly admit that he missed Gao Zheng, but the Atlético Madrid fans couldn't wait.

The progress in the league was going well, but the two Copa del Rey quarter-finals made everyone realize the importance of Gao Zheng.

Many Atlético Madrid fans said after being eliminated, if Gao Zheng was there, we would never have missed a goal when we had a complete second half to counterattack.

Facts have proved that Griezmann has great potential, but his scoring ability cannot be compared with Gao Zheng.

Torres has scored three goals since his return, but no matter how you look at it, he is no longer the golden boy of Atletico Madrid. His declining state is an irrefutable reality, and it is not because of his feelings and feelings that Torres can really replace the vacancy left by Gao Zheng.

His existence is a useful supplement to Atletico Madrid's striker strength, but it must be understood that the main force of this strength must be Gao Zheng.

When some people are around, they seem to make people feel that everything is normal, and life is as ordinary as water.

But once you lose him, you will find that he is the most indispensable person.

When Gao Zheng was around, although no one would think that Gao Zheng was unimportant and too ordinary. But I'm afraid he won't overestimate his status. After all, Simeone's words represent the thoughts of many people-Atletico Madrid is not Sampdoria. In addition to Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid also has Griezmann, Raul Garcia, Gabi, Koke, Arda Turan and a group of powerful players. Before Gao Zheng joined, Atletico Madrid also won the La Liga championship and the team that reached the Champions League final is the third pole besides the top two in the Western Super League.

However, after this Asian Cup, everyone discovered that Gao Zheng is indeed indispensable to Atletico Madrid today.

After Diego Costa left the team, Gao Zheng was the team's most stable scoring point.

Before he left the team to participate in the Asian Cup, he scored in seven consecutive league rounds, which does not count the Champions League group stage. Scored ten goals in seven league rounds, and is still the top scorer in the team.

He has scored a total of fifteen goals in the league this season. Although he has been away for a month and a half, he is only surpassed by Messi in the league scorer list.

Now the top scorer is the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 28 goals, Messi ranked second with 21 goals, and the next third is Gao Zheng, who scored 15 goals .

This is quite like the ranking of the three teams in the league standings.

The next afternoon, Gao Zheng appeared at Atletico Madrid's Mahadahonda training base and reunited with his club teammates.

Everyone seemed very happy for Gao Zheng's return. They talked and laughed with Gao Zheng, having a good time.

Diego Simeone also appeared on the sidelines, and under the witness of the reporters, he gave Gao Zheng a big hug.

Although Gao Zheng returned to the team, in the following training, everyone could still feel that Gao Zheng's body was not in the best condition.

This is also normal. During the 20 days in Australia, Gao Zheng played six games, an average of a little more than three games, and there was also a fierce battle with the South Korean team.

This kind of high-intensity competition has a great impact on Gao Zheng's physical fitness.

He was not the kind of player who was good at physical fitness.

In addition, he had just experienced nearly twenty hours of flying in the air, so the jet lag might not be completely reversed yet.

It is already great to be able to appear on the training ground, and there should be no unrealistic expectations of his state.

Simeone is also very aware of this, so in the next twenty-first round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Eibar away. Although Gao Zheng entered the squad, he did not enter the starting list.

The reason given by Simeone is that Gao Zheng still needs a full rest.

This is not surprising. After all, the next game against Real Madrid is more important. Even if there is no Gao Zheng in the game against Eibar, even if it is an away game, winning should not be too much of a problem.

Of course, we must do everything possible to let Gao Zheng rest when there is a chance.

Let him have the best condition to face Real Madrid.

In the match against Eibar, Atletico Madrid finally defeated their opponent 3:1 in the away game. When Gao Zheng came off the bench in the 80th minute, the score was already like this.

Gao Zheng failed to score a goal, but Simeone was quite satisfied with his performance as a substitute: "...the important thing is that Gao's physical condition is not a problem during the game."

The reporters all nodded in agreement. Before the game against Real Madrid, Gao Zheng really couldn't make any mistakes. As long as he is in good physical condition, he can basically use 100% of his state to deal with Real Madrid.

Although Atletico Madrid is in the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid was eliminated without Gao Zheng. However, Real Madrid's emphasis on the Copa del Rey and the league is obviously different. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo did not start in Real Madrid's away loss to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey match.

And this time in the same city derby in the league, as long as the Portuguese are not injured, they will definitely start.

Everyone wants to see the confrontation between Gao Zheng, who is in good physical condition, and Ronaldo.
