Chapter 85 What does it mean when the opponent is not strong enough?

Gao Zheng, who returned to Madrid, had almost no rest and devoted himself to Atletico Madrid training.

Because I lost to Valencia in the last round, the next game against Espanyol is very important.

Even though he received the influence of the national team game, Simeone still sent the strongest lineup in this game.

The team's performance was not satisfactory. Atletico Madrid faced Espanyol at home and easily defeated the opponent with a score of 2:0.

After playing this game, Atletico Madrid is about to usher in the third group match of the Champions League.

At home against Malmö.

However, with the lessons from the previous round of group stages, I'm afraid no one will regard them as the weakest team in this group and the target of getting points casually.

If you don’t give your all and underestimate the enemy in your heart, Olympiacos is the lesson of the past.

So although Atletico Madrid played at home in this game, Diego Simone still ranked the strongest lineup.

The effect of this strongest lineup is still very good.

The two sides were still the whole game in the first half, and both sides had offensive and defensive, but in general, at home, Atletico Madrid, which has a stronger strength, has the advantage in the field.

As long as you are not blind, you can see that if you continue to play like this, it will be a matter of time before Atletico Madrid scores.

Sure enough, just three minutes into the second half, Cork scored his first record for Atletico Madrid.

Then in the 61st minute, Gao Zheng received a cross from Cork and shot with his left foot, scoring his third goal in the Champions League this season.

Three minutes later, Gao Zheng initiated the offense and passed the ball to Cork, who then passed the ball to Griezmann, assisting Griezmann to score his first Champions League goal of the season.

In the 77th minute, Gao Zheng scored twice, helping Atletico Madrid expand its lead to 4:0.

At the end of the game, Italian striker Cerci, who was substituting Griezmann, scored the last goal, helping Atletico Madrid defeat Malmo 5-0 at home.

"That's right!" commented commentator Jose Maria. "This is the normal performance that Atletico Madrid should have when facing a team that is not as good as theirs. What the hell is it to lose to Olympiacos 2:3 away from home..."

He was still worried about the failure of that game.

Because if Atletico Madrid won that game, it would now top the list with nine points, far away from Juventus's other group match. Tus actually lost 0-1 to Olympiacos away, and lost two consecutive games. Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos have six points together. Atletico Madrid temporarily ranked first with the advantage of goal difference. However, the final decision to rank was not the goal difference, but the mutual victory and loss relationship between the teams of the same point. Currently, Olympiacos defeated Atletico Madrid and has a more advantage in the mutual victory and loss relationship...

However, Olympiacos has another chance to challenge them at home, so as long as Atletico Madrid can beat Olympiacos at home, this is not a problem.

Can they beat Olympiacos at home?

Judging from their 5-0 home game against Malmo, there should be no suspense... Of course, the premise is that Atletico Madrid players have a positive attitude and don't be proud and underestimate the opponent.

※※※

Back in the league, Atletico Madrid had a two-game winning streak. They first defeated Getafe 1-0 away and won the "Madrid South Derby". Getafe and Atletico Madrid's base are both south of Madrid.

Gao Zheng scored the only goal in this game.

Then in the home match against Cordoba, Atletico Madrid defeated his opponent 4:2, and Gao Zheng scored twice in this game.

He has scored eight goals in ten rounds of the league.

Such a result can be said to be very outstanding, and this is his performance after joining the completely unfamiliar league of La Liga, and there is no adaptation period at all.

But even so, the eight goals scored just put him in third place.

Check out his competitors on the La Liga scorer list:

Currently ranked second is Barcelona's Brazilian star Neymar, who scored nine goals in ten league rounds, ranking above Gao Zheng.

Such performance is actually quite normal, which shows that Neymar is in good condition, but the good is not very exaggerated, at least it is still within an understandable range.

But the man who ranked first in the scorer list was in good condition and made people feel that he was from outer space...

Ranked first is Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ten rounds of the league started, except for the second round he missed due to injury, there were nine games left, with goals every game, and not one or two goals.

In the first round of the league, he scored a goal; in the third round of the league, he played Atletico Madrid, although Real Madrid lost the game, he still scored a goal; in the fourth round of the league, he played Coruña, he scored a hat-trick; in the fifth round of the league, Elche, he completed a big four; in the sixth round of the league, he scored a goal; in the seventh round of the league, he scored a hat-trick; in the eighth round of the league, Levante, he scored twice; in the ninth round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home, he scored a goal in that game; in the tenth round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Granada 4-0, and he scored another goal.

After ten rounds of the league, the Portuguese scored seventeen goals.

Some forwards may not score so many goals in a season...

And not only scored goals in the league, but also Ronaldo scored goals in every game in the Champions League group stage at the same time.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in a terrible state.

Faced with Ronaldo like this, the Spanish media didn't know how to blew it. They could only announce that the suspense of the league's Golden Boots competition ended early. You should know that when Gao Zheng was in Italy, he announced that he would lock in the Golden Boots in advance after only thirteen rounds of the league. As a result, he was scolded by the Italian media, saying that he was arrogant and unaware of the world.

Now when the Portuguese scored terrifying data of 17 goals in ten games, no one felt that there was anything wrong with letting him lock in the league's Golden Boot in advance.

After Real Madrid lost the Madrid derby, the media was filled with various negative voices about Real Madrid, Ancelotti, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Unexpectedly, they were all slapped in the face by the speed of light.

Under Ronaldo's terrifying state, Real Madrid maintained ten consecutive victories on all fronts.

If you score goals in every game, you can win every game.

When Gao Zheng led Atletico Madrid to defeat Real Madrid in the Madrid city derby, he won two goals alone. After scoring twice, Chinese fans and media compared him to Portuguese superstars.

But even the most hardcore Gao Zheng fans now have to admit that Gao Zheng's performance is already very good, but it is not qualified to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Gao Zheng probably wouldn't think so.

He said to Feng Shiyao on WeChat: "This is why I come to La Liga! Being able to compete with such a powerful opponent is better than anything else!"

"Xiao Yingying is still worried that you will be hit by the huge gap. Now she should be relieved." Feng Shiyao replied.

"What's the point of being hit? If the opponent is not weak enough, how boring?" Gao Zheng grinned with a smile.

Putting down his phone, Feng Shiyao turned to Xiao Yingying and said, "Don't worry, he is full of fighting spirit."

Xiao Yingying smiled: "Then I'm relieved. By the way, what else did you two talk about with Sister Feng?"

"I didn't talk about anything, I just conveyed your concerns."

"Sister Feng, you really only talked about this matter?" Xiao Yingying was stunned.

"Otherwise? Everyone is so busy, how can you have time to chat?"

Xiao Yingying covered her face.

Feng Shiyao kicked her: "It's time to work!"
