Prominence in Football Community

In the first half, Atletico Madrid led Galatasaray with Gao Zheng's goal.

During the intermission, the two teams did not make personnel adjustments. After changing sides and fighting again, Atletico Madrid still completely suppressed Galatasaray on the scene.

After all, this is Atletico Madrid's home court, and their advantage is obvious.

In the 65th minute, Gao Zheng scored with a low shot from his left foot after receiving another assist from Gabi.

"High!! Scored twice! ESOME!!!" GOLTV commentator Ray Hudson exclaimed. "He completely dominated the game! Two goals in this game took him to the sixth goal in the Champions League this season! Now he is second only to Cristiano who scored seven goals Ronaldo!"

"Gao Zheng's goal means that Atletico Madrid has basically sealed the victory. In this way, Atletico Madrid will win the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule and advance to the top 16! This is also the third consecutive season that Gao Zheng has reached the Champions League knockout round Stage competition! Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!"

After He Ping finished speaking, his partner Xu Yang said with emotion: "I hope Gao Zheng can go further in the Champions League this time. He reached the top 16 in the Champions League for the first time, and the second time he won the Champions League." Entered the quarter-finals. I don’t know if I can enter the quarter-finals this time..."

"Then if he can reach the semi-finals, it will be really great. He is the second Asian player to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League after Park Ji-sung?" He Ping was surprised and still had some hope, if there is such a day...

It's just that thinking about it now makes me feel very happy. If there is such a day, I don't know how grand it will be!

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Galatasaray 2-0 at home with Gao Zheng's brace.

After this game, the last round of the group stage basically lost its meaning. No matter how Benfica plays against Atletico Madrid at home, it will not affect the qualifying and ranking of the two teams.

Atletico Madrid currently ranks first with 13 points.

Benfica sit second with eight points.

Galatasaray are third with four points.

Astana has two points and is the bottom one, but they still have the possibility of participating in the Europa League in theory-as long as they beat Galatasaray away in the last round, they can surpass the Turkish giants and win the Europa League. As the third place in the group, they participated in the Europa League and continued their magical European journey this season.

It's just that this possibility is too small. No one dares to think that Astana can beat Galatasaray away. Even if Galatasaray's performance in the Champions League this season is bad, it is better Stana is stronger.

Atletico Madrid's early qualifying is a good thing for the team as a whole, so that in the final round of the group stage, Atletico Madrid will not have to send the main players to play away games. Although Spain and Portugal are next to each other, this kind of away games will still happen anyway. consume the energy of the players.

And near the end of the year, various games are already intensive, and being able to play one less unnecessary game will also allow Simeone to prepare for other games more calmly.

After all, Barcelona is gaining momentum in the league, chasing behind with a three-point gap. One can imagine how difficult the next league will be.

Last season, Barcelona was overtaken by Atletico Madrid in the penultimate round and took away the league title. They must be holding back their energy, wanting to win back the championship.

Simeone also doesn't know if his team can win the league title for three consecutive seasons,

Maybe he has to make a choice between the league and the Champions League.

But that's something for the future. Now if possible, try to expand the team's lead in the league as a precaution.

Just like squirrels, they will desperately store food for the winter. They will stuff nuts everywhere, so much that they may forget that they have nuts hidden somewhere.

For Simeone, he now wants to become a "squirrel" and collect league points like nuts.

With a behemoth like Barcelona chasing after him, Simeone felt very insecure...

In the thirteenth round of the league, Atletico Madrid played against the Espanyol at home.

The Espanyol club has just recently experienced a major event in the club's history.

Founded in 1900, this football club is composed entirely of Spanish fans. The original intention of its establishment was to build a team composed of local Spanish players to fight against the Barcelona club, which is almost entirely composed of foreign players.

It can be said that just from the name, we can know the strong Spanish local color of this club.

But this club, which even has a nativist name, has now become a club actually controlled by a Chinese company. In other words, although it is called the "Spanish Club", it has become a Chinese football club.

A Chinese listed company specializing in car models and toys invested more than 60 million euros to acquire 50.1% of the shares of the Espanyol Club. This share figure means that this Chinese company has absolute control over the club.

The encounter between Atletico Madrid and the Spaniard also has a different meaning because of this acquisition.

For example, the "Marca" newspaper deliberately wrote when reporting this game: Atletico Madrid VS Royal Chinese.

They replaced "Spanish" with "Chinese".

This is a "Chinese Derby" in a special sense.

This game naturally also attracted the attention of the Chinese media.

Because the Espanyol is the first club actually controlled by a Chinese company in the five major leagues.

The majority of Chinese fans are very concerned about the fact that the Chinese have become the owners of football clubs in the five major European leagues.

Everyone even imagines that when the Chinese become the helm of the Espanyol club, will it be easier for Chinese players to study abroad in the future?

Although it is not expected that all of them are like Gao Zheng-this is a genius who emerges once in a century-at least there can be a large number of players active in the European arena like South Korea and Japan.

When there are enough Chinese players who can gain a foothold in Europe, the level of the Chinese national team will definitely be guaranteed. By then, reaching the World Cup finals may not be a goal that everyone has to stick to. Let’s change it to how to enter the knockout round of the World Cup finals...

During the game, the TV broadcast also gave close-up shots of the new Spanish boss on the rostrum many times. He is indeed a completely pure Chinese, with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. A very gentle middle-aged man.

Get up from time to time to shake hands and say hello to other guests on the rostrum.

With a smile on his face from time to time, the first impression is a good one.

It doesn't look like the kind of old and cunning businessman.

Even Jose Maria introduced to the Madrid fans: "This is the new owner of the Spaniard, the Chinese, Mr. Chen. He runs a company in China that specializes in making model car toys. This company is The most successful car model toy company in China... But to be honest, I really don't know why he bought the Espanyol football club, after all, car model toys and football clubs are like two worlds..."
