Chapter 20 Gao Zheng's Weakness?
"In the Ramon Carranza Cup that just ended, Atletico Madrid won and lost, and missed the championship. All the warm-up matches of Atletico Madrid have ended. In these warm-up matches, they exposed some problems, some problems are small problems, but some problems cannot be ignored..."
"Atlancia Madrid spent 100 million euros to rebuild their forward line this season, but the effect was not good from these warm-up matches. Atletico Madrid only scored two goals in the game at most, and most of them were one goal or not. This is obviously unqualified for the forward partner who is worth 100 million euros..."
"...This is why I think Gao's joining has a strong business factor consideration, because Gao is not suitable for Atletico Madrid's tactics at all... Why do I say that? Have you noticed how many wing balls at Atletico Madrid last season and the offensive routines that allow the center to grab points in the penalty area? Atletico Madrid has many wing balls, not only Diego Costa or David Villa, they are normal forwards, so they can use these crosses to score goals..."
"Please note why I say that Diego Costa and David Villa are both normal strikers. What does it correspond to? Of course they are abnormal strikers! Who is abnormal striker? In my opinion, Gao is a typical abnormal striker. Although he was able to score 33 league goals in Sampdoria last season and get the European Golden Boot, this is in an abnormal team... Why do I say it is abnormal? Because the meaning of Sampdoria's team is to serve Gao a person. From personnel configuration to tactical design, the whole team is to give full play to the advantages of high and avoid highlighting his weaknesses... Is there anything wrong with this? There is nothing wrong with Sampdoria. They are weak overall and need to rely on Gao. If Gao is not good at heading, try not to pass the pass beyond the high head height..."
"As a center, is there anyone who is so bad at heading like Gao? We have carefully seen Gao's 114 goals in Sampdoria, but none of them are heading! Readers, can you imagine? A high center forward who is 1.9 meters tall can't head the ball! Of course, it doesn't mean that every forward who is over 1.9 meters tall must be good at heading, but it is not a concept of not being good at heading. No matter how bad the heading is, a normal forward will not be said to have no heading, and Gao Zheng has no one. Not only does he not have a heading goal, he has not yet made a heading record of passing and controlling the ball with heading. Yes, a
None! This is why I say Gao is an abnormal striker... What happens when an abnormal striker comes to a normal team? It is out of place. Yes, Atletico Madrid's tactics that succeeded last season have been very mature, and Gao's play has broken this stability. He is not a tactic suitable for Atletico Madrid, nor is he the striker needed by Atletico Madrid. So why did Simeone allow such a striker to come to his team and break the original mature and stable tactical structure? There is only one reason, that is, behind this transfer transaction, capital from China is driving..."
"...We are not saying that it is worth 75 million. We just think that for Atletico Madrid, it is worth the price. He should not choose Atletico Madrid... Of course, for Chinese fans, their idol players can join a big club like Atletico Madrid, and the value of 75 million euros can greatly satisfy their vanity. But after the initial excitement and vanity, they may have to bear the bitterness brought by endless ridicule..."
Article from "Daily Sports News" "Gao Zheng is an abnormal striker."

During training, when Cork crossed the ball to the penalty area with a forty-five-degree angle, Gao Zheng in the penalty area jumped high and pushed the ball towards the goal with his head.
Judging from the posture, this is a very beautiful header and header.
Goalkeeper Oblak has moved to the position and is ready to go.
But Gao Zheng did not hit the football.
The ball was pushed out by Godin before him.
After landing, Godin roared excitedly to the sky, and Gao Zheng, who was next to him, pushed him: "Hey!"
Everyone else burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
They all knew too much how much Godin was about letting Gao Zheng score three goals on him.
After that game, although the team survived and defeated Sampdoria, Godin was not happy at all.
Gao Zheng transferred to Atletico Madrid. It can be said that the happiest person besides head coach Diego Simone, I'm afraid it's the second "Diego" Diego Godin. Because Godin can fight Gao Zheng in training, for Godin, this is his opportunity to "take revenge".

Ortega, a physical fitness coach on the sidelines, told Simeone: "If I hadn't seen too high-headed goals in training, I would have believed in the article from Daily Sports..."
"Compared with his legs, the tall header is indeed much worse." Simeone shrugged. "But it is not as unbearable as they said. You should know that the reference is his foot skills. But I really hope that those people think so, anyway, it's not us who are unlucky at that time."

Gao Zheng received a pass from his teammate with his back to Godin. Then he turned around and shot, caught Godin off guard. Oblack failed to save the ball and let the ball fly into the goal.
After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng smiled and spread his hands to Godin, but Godin had no temper at all.
Everyone else laughed when they saw this scene.
In everyone's joke, Godin rolled his eyes suddenly: "If you have the ability, come and try to guard against it!"
The others waved their hands with a smile: "If you don't want to be careful, we are not central defenders!"
Godin stared at Cork again: "Next time you pass the ball to him!"
Cork spread his hands: "Diego, Gao and I are in the same team..."
"Oh, help him practice heading. Look at how poor he heads. It is precisely because he needs to practice more with an excellent central defender like me to improve!"
Others exposed his lie: "Diego, you just want to take revenge on this?"
Godin curled his lips, then saw Xu Xin next to Gao Zheng, and quickly pointed at him and shouted: "Don't translate it for him!"
He then added: "This is to let him learn Spanish as soon as possible!"
Everyone laughed even happier.
"Look, 'Professor', take a step back and say: With such feet, what else do you need to head the ball?" Simeone said, pointing to the scene on the court.

"... Although this article in "Daily Sports News" looks scary, it really makes sense. Gao really can't head the ball. What do you think of this article?"
"It makes sense! Daily Sports News is a well-known toilet paper-grade media! Do you know what 'toilet paper-grade' is? It's just worth using it to wipe your butt!"
"This answerer speaks so loudly. Barcelona's mouthpiece was used to wipe his butt? I'm afraid it's not a yellow dog?"
"Yellow Dog, your sister! Is it true that I can't head the ball is equivalent to an abnormal striker? I can't head the ball, Gao Zheng scored more than 100 goals. Why, I'm not convinced? I'm dead!"
"The answerer is too angry. Isn't it right for people to objectively point out Gao Zheng's problem? Fans like you will only make Gao Zheng feel invincible in the world, which is not good for his growth!"
"Sorry, as a fan of Gao Zheng, I would like to say justice whether Gao Zheng is crazy or not, it has nothing to do with us fans..."
"Objectively speaking, I think it is indeed a trouble for Gao Zheng not to head the ball, but it is not a big trouble. With his superb feet, not being able to head the ball is not a fatal weakness. Barcelona media exaggerated the words..."
...
The statement in the article "Daily Sports" was quickly spread on the Internet. Some people think that the media is right. Heading is indeed Gao Zheng's biggest weakness, which is well known to everyone. Atletico Madrid really pays attention to the tactics of the two wings. After receiving the ball, most of their two full-backs will directly look for the forwards. The first point is Diego Costa, and the second point is David Villa or Raul Garcia. This is the standard front and back point grabbing configuration. Then Cork and Tulan will judge whether to rush into the penalty area based on the situation and try to find a bargain.
Atletico Madrid's third goal against Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and Arda Tulan seized the opportunity to score.
Gao Zheng is not good at heading and it is indeed 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. They also criticized Chinese fans' optimism for misleading Gao Zheng, affecting Gao Zheng's performance at Atletico Madrid, and causing Gao Zheng to mistakenly underestimate the degree of difficulties faced in the new environment.
These critics even plead that if Gao Zheng fails to perform at Atletico Madrid, the optimistic Chinese fans will also need to take responsibility for this.
Those who oppose the Daily Sports believe that the Daily Sports is a well-known "toilet paper"-level media, and they don't believe a word of what they say. When Gao Zheng was in Sampdoria, he was able to score more than 30 goals per season without heading.
Moreover, Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone's favor for Gao Zheng has been known to everyone since the two sides fought last season. At that time, everyone wondered 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 business act?
For a foreign media report, domestic fans started arguing again, but this quarrel was ultimately due to everyone's concern for Gao Zheng. Who cares if you don't care about whether you are dead or alive?
