Prominence in Football Community
Chapter 179 Silently Developing
After Griezmann scored the third goal of the game, there was no suspense in this game.
In the next game, the Leverkusen players themselves were a little bit unmotivated.
You can still fight if you are one goal behind, but now you are two goals behind, how can you fight?
And Gao Zheng is in such a good state, when the Leverkusen players are pressing hard, don't they worry that their goal will be pierced by Gao Zheng for the third time?
Sun Xingmin worked very hard, but he couldn't do it alone, so he just worked hard enough, and he still didn't pose any threat to Atletico Madrid's defense.
At the seventy-seventh minute, he was replaced by Schmidt, completely disqualified from seeking revenge on Gao Zheng.
This "Asian Derby", which was not hyped by the Korean media, came to an early conclusion.
Later, there was a statistic that said that the ratings of this game in South Korea fell to freezing point quickly after Sun Xingmin was replaced.
Gao Zheng was replaced by Diego Simeone in the 85th minute.
With a two-goal lead and a few minutes left in the game, there should be no further surprises.
The person who replaced Gao Zheng was Torres, the former golden boy of Atletico Madrid. There was warm applause at the scene, but the applause was not for Torres, but for Gao Zheng - when he left the field, he got all the support. A standing ovation from Atletico Madrid fans.
This scene is no stranger to any Chinese fans or Chinese reporters.
Although Gao Zheng's first season in Atletico Madrid is not yet over, everyone can see that he has conquered the stadium and the fans here.
Gao Zheng, who came off the field, applauded the Atlético Madrid fans in the four stands on the sidelines, then hugged Simeone who came up, and then returned to the bench to high-five his teammates one by one.
Everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces.
They have already won this game.
Four minutes into stoppage time, referee Rizzoli blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Calderón Stadium erupted into loud cheers.
"Congratulations to Atletico Madrid! Congratulations to Simeone! They lost the first leg away,
The reversal is complete! 3:0 at home, 3:1 on aggregate, Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the seventh time in history! "
"Gao Zheng is the well-deserved player of the game! He is the number one contributor to Atletico Madrid's ability to reverse Leverkusen and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League! When the team encountered a disadvantageous situation at the beginning, he used two goals Completed the reversal with an assist! And this is the first time in his career that he has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League! He completed a hat-trick at home, but was still eliminated. And this time, he finally made up for the regrets of last season!" He Ping said happily. "The Champions League will continue, and we will see him in the Champions League, which is really a happy thing!"

After the game, Gao Zheng was surrounded by reporters in the mixed zone. Both Chinese and Korean reporters wanted to hear what he thought of the competition with Sun Xingmin.
"Competition?" Gao Zheng asked back. After getting a definite answer, he shook his head with a smile: "No, there is no competition between us. In Europe, we all represent Asian football. Compared with competition, I I think it is more important that we improve together. As long as we can perform well, it will be a good thing for Asian football, and it will be a good thing for Chinese football and Korean football.”
Gao Zheng's answer was well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing, he did not provoke hatred, nor did he deliberately dwarf himself.
This answer can be said to be the standard answer.
The Chinese reporters all smiled.
But the South Korean reporters felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.
Although what Gao Zheng said was correct, they always felt that behind these incomparably correct words, there was still some arrogance.
Is "We are not competitors" a good thing? For Sun Xingmin, who is determined to defeat Gao Zheng, he is probably not willing to accept such an answer, right?
However, this is only the inner speculation of South Korean reporters and has not been confirmed. And it's hard for them to say anything, because if they criticize Gao Zheng based on Gao Zheng's words, they will be besieged by many neutrals.
After all, what Gao Zheng said was watertight and there was no problem.
If they forced their way, it would give people the impression of being narrow-minded, although they have always been narrow-minded...

In an interview, Gao Zheng stated that there is no competitive relationship between him and Sun Xingmin. Sun Xingmin also denied the claim that this game was a "battle of revenge" after the game.
"...We want to advance to the quarterfinals, it's that simple. It has nothing to do with hatred."
Son Heung-min lowered his head and said.
"Unfortunately, we didn't make it. I would like to apologize to the Leverkusen fans... We had a chance but we didn't take it..."
He kept apologizing, but as for Gao Zheng, he never mentioned it.
But this does not mean that he really let go of this matter.
In fact, deep in his heart, the idea of defeating Gao Zheng not only did not disappear, but became stronger and stronger. Both he and Gao Zheng will continue to stay in Europe, and there will definitely be opportunities for them to meet in the future. Today's defeat will definitely not be the end.
It's just that he is more aware that before he can do it, he should hide his thoughts, rather than publicize them to the point where the world knows them.
Through these two games in the Asian Cup and the Champions League, he has fully realized this point - it is not that simple to defeat Gao Zheng, so it is best not to let others know his inner thoughts before he does it, he does not want to be Some people's laughing stock...

Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League is certainly something to celebrate, but the Atlético Madrid players were not happy for long.
Next, they will challenge the Spaniard away in the league.
Because he just played the Champions League with Leverkusen, Simeone implemented a rotation policy in the game against the Spaniard.
Many players, including Gao Zheng, did not appear in the starting lineup.
But even so, Atletico Madrid still beat the Spaniard 2-0 in the away game.
After this game, some Barcelona media accused the Spaniard of being unsportsmanlike and even released water to Atletico Madrid.
Because Barcelona and the Spaniard are rivals in the same city, some conspiracy theorists believe that the Spaniard deliberately lost to Atletico Madrid, which is not the strongest lineup, in order to let Barcelona win the championship.
This kind of criticism naturally attracted the Spaniard's reply: "If Barcelona is as confident as they say and is determined to win the championship, they will not care about the results of other teams and Atletico Madrid. Because in terms of points, Barcelona is the top scorer. Ahead of Atletico Madrid's..."
Atletico Madrid did not expect that their game against the Spaniard would cause the two Catalan teams to quarrel, but this has nothing to do with them.
In this round of the league, Barcelona defeated Eibar 2:0 away, and Real Madrid defeated Levante 2:0 at home.
Atletico Madrid's league ranking has not changed, it is still second.
