Vallecano's home court, Vallecano, can only accommodate 15,000 people, which is considered a very small stadium.

However, this is not the stadium with the smallest capacity in La Liga. The Iprula Stadium, the home stadium of the newly promoted Maverick Eibar, can only accommodate 5,000 people.

In this game of Vallecano's home match against Atletico Madrid, more than 11,000 people came into Vallecano's Stadium, and the attendance rate was quite good.

Vallecano is a small club and cannot be compared with the two Madrid football giants Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. However, such a team is more rooted in the community and more in line with the most traditional community culture of football.

Their training base is very small and hidden in a residential area. It looks like a football school in the community. Every evening, nearby children come here to receive football training. In fact, many parents of children may not expect their children to become professional players. They just hope to cultivate their children's love for football and their loyalty to Vallecano Football Club.

Although such a team lacks the support of big investors, the results are not very good, and they basically miss various championships. Even the qualification to participate in the League One is often unable to maintain, and they have to be relegated to League Two.

But this does not hurt the fans' love for them.

After all, there is only one champion, but there are thousands of clubs and people participating in football. There are still many supporters in teams that miss the championship. Their support is less utilitarian and is a purer "supporting one's own people" relationship. Fans will regard the clubs living in the same community as their own families, and will always accompany them no matter how their grades are. Just like family members, it cannot be said that because their family members cannot make money, are not beautiful, and have no social status, other family members will dislike him?

So even though Vallecano is behind Atletico Madrid in the score, the singing of Vallecano fans in the stands has not diminished at all, and they are still cheering for their team.

"The game has reached the last ten minutes. Although Atletico Madrid only leads one goal in the score, the initiative is in their hands. Now I believe many Chinese fans want to see Gao Zheng score the goal, after all, Gao Zheng has not scored yet in this game..."

As a La Liga commentator, He Ping can finally explain Gao Zheng's game while commenting on the Champions League. Before, when Gao Zheng was in the Serie A, the commentator was always Liu Hong's business, and He Ping could only explain the Champions League.

Now that Gao Zheng is here in La Liga, he can see Gao Zheng regularly once a week, which makes him feel very happy.

After Gao Zheng's first La Liga game in this game, he was well prepared and thought of many exciting sentences in advance to describe Gao Zheng's goal, but it turned out to be useless.

Gao Zheng didn't score, but instead gave an assist, assisting Cork to score, scoring the only goal he scored so far.

Logically speaking, assists are also highlights, but Chinese fans just feel that they are not satisfied and hope that Gao Zheng can score another goal.

However, their wish was shattered in the 85th minute. Assistant coach Boggs, who replaced Diego Simeone to command the game, replaced Gao Zheng with forward Raul Gimenez, who also transferred this summer.

"Gao Zheng was substituted? Oh... It's a pity for Gao Zheng to leave without a goal... The reason why Gao Zheng was replaced in advance may be because of the influence of the previous two consecutive Spanish Super Cups. Boggs hopes to give Gao Zheng a good rest. After all, the third round of the league is a real Madrid city derby..." Although He Ping was very regretful, he could understand.

This actually comes from his confidence in Gao Zheng. The league has just begun and the season is still very long. He believes that Gao Zheng's first goal in La Liga will definitely come, and there is no need to wait too long.

Because, as he said, the third round of the league was a city derby with Real Madrid.

Based on his understanding of Gao Zheng, would Gao Zheng not score a goal in such an important game?

The final score of this game was 1:0. Atletico Madrid defeated his city rival Vallecano away and won the league's start in the new season. The defending champion of the league officially set sail with a victory.

Boggs, who replaced Diego Simeone to attend the press conference at the post-match press conference, praised Gao Zheng's performance: "... Although Gao did not score a goal, I think Gao's performance is excellent. What is more important than scoring is what he reflected in the team's offense. This assist shows that he is becoming more and more familiar with our team's offensive system. I said that I don't like Zhonggao because he was the Golden Boot last season. Yes, he can score goals, but more importantly, he is still a player who can create opportunities for his teammates..."

Gao Zheng was quite satisfied with his performance in an interview after the game, and he didn't care about his failure to score: "...The team's victory is the most important thing, and I'm very happy to be able to give Cork an assist and help him score a goal. As for when I scored a goal? I never care about this issue. Let it go. Scoring goals is something that happens naturally."

After the game, Madrid media praised Gao Zheng for showing high confidence.

Only those who have become accustomed to scoring goals will not have any "goal drought anxiety" and will not think it is a big deal to not score a goal in a game.

In fact, this is true. Scoring goals is not a rare thing for Gao Zheng. In his career, there is no long term goal drought, so if no goals in three rounds of the league can be hyped up by the Italian media into a "goal drought"...

In the second round of the league, Atletico Madrid, who returned to home, faced the newly promoted Ma Ebar.

Eibar is the newly promoted club with the smallest stadium in the La Liga.

They won the Spanish League Two championship last season. The rules are that the La Liga clubs must pay a certain amount of participation deposit to the Spanish Football Association, otherwise they will not be eligible to participate in the Spanish League.

The specific amount of this entry deposit is calculated based on 25% of the average expenses of all La Liga teams, which is 25% of the 1.7 million euros.

For many clubs, 1.7 million euros are not a big deal. For example, this one million euros is only equivalent to Messi's salary for one month, but for the small town of Eibar, which has a permanent population of only 27,000, this one million euros is an astronomical figure.

Then a famous "online crowdfunding" operation occurred. Eibar divided the shares of his club into several shares and put them online for crowdfunding. Anyone can spend money to buy shares of Eibar Club and become a shareholder of the club.

The money they buy shares is used to pay the team's participation deposit.

Speaking of which, the team and China have a fate. After their deeds were spread to China on the Internet, enthusiastic Chinese fans generously donated money and purchased a large number of shares of Eibar, thus helping Eibar overcome the difficulties, successfully paid the participation deposit, and stayed in the La Liga.

If it weren't for these Chinese fans, this showdown between Atletico Madrid and Eibar would not have happened at all.

However, Atletico Madrid did not show mercy to Eibar because of such inspirational stories.

Just twelve minutes into the game, Miranda used the header to take the lead for Atletico Madrid in a corner kick.

The question of whether Gao Zheng, who is most concerned about by Chinese fans, also had an answer in the 25th minute.

"Gao Zheng received the ball in the penalty area... he turned around and shot beautifully!! The ball has been scored! What a good ball!!" He Ping raised his arms and shouted. "He scored his first league goal in La Liga!"
