The final outcome of the Asian Cup was that host Australia defeated Iraq 2-1 in the final, winning the Asian Cup for the first time in history.

Australia is in a carnival nationwide.

However, this has nothing to do with Chinese fans and Gao Zheng.

After the Asian Cup, Chinese fans are full of hope for the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers journey.

Gao Zheng is even more unlikely to be distracted to care about the final results of the Asian Cup.

After more than ten hours of continuous flight, Gao Zheng appeared at the Barajas Airport in Madrid.

When the agent Viviano received him at the airport, he said to Gao Zheng: "I found that there were media reporters waiting at the airport, and they should be waiting for you."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, maybe there will be a reporter's camera facing our car at this time."

Gao Zheng smiled: "Then say hello to them."

After saying that, he waved his hand across the road through the car.

Under the viaduct, he couldn't see whether there were ambushing reporters under the shadows. He just waved to the other side anyway. Even if he didn't say hello to the reporters, he would just say hello to the city of Madrid.

He has been away from the city for a month and a half, and in the past he may have been away for so long only during the summer holidays where the season ended.

Viviano was right. There were indeed reporters waiting for Gao Zheng in the parking lot. Some reporters even followed Viviano's car all the way to the airport parking lot.

So Gao Zheng's waving photo soon appeared on the Internet.

Nowadays, it is an era of Internet information, and a lot of news will not appear in traditional media at the first time, because it is time to wait for traditional newspapers to type and print, and no matter how good the news is, it will be a remnant.

The latest news must be on the Internet.

After Gao Zheng's photo of waving his hand was posted on the Internet by reporters, it aroused cheers from Atletico Madrid fans.

Many Atletico Madrid fans left messages under the photos: "Welcome back to Madrid, Gao!"

"We miss you so much!"

It seems that although Simeone did not directly admit that he misses Gao Zheng very much for the sake of maintaining the unity atmosphere within the team, Atletico Madrid fans are already a little impatient.

Originally, the progress in the league was quite smooth, but two quarter-finals of the Cup REE made everyone realize the importance of Gao Zheng.

Many Atletico Madrid fans said after being eliminated that if Gao Zheng was there at that time, we would never have scored a goal without a goal when there was a complete second half to counterattack.

As it turns out, Griezmann has great potential, but his scoring ability is not comparable to Gao Zheng.

Torres scored three goals after his return, but no matter from any perspective, he is no longer the most powerful Atletico Madrid Golden Boy. His decline in form is an irrefutable reality. We cannot think that Torres can really replace the vacancy left by Gao Zheng because of his feelings and feelings.

His existence is a beneficial supplement to Atletico Madrid's forward power, but it must be understood that the main force of this power must be Gao Zheng.

When some people are there, they seem to make people feel that everything is ordinary and their lives are ordinary.

But once you lose him, you will find that he is the most indispensable person.

When Gao Zheng was there, although no one would think that Gao Zheng was not important and too ordinary, he probably wouldn't take his status too high. After all, Simeone's words represent the ideas of many people. Atletico Madrid is not Sampdoria. In addition to Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid also has a group of powerful players such as Griezmann, Raul Garcia, Gabi, Cork, and Arda Tulan. Before Gao Zheng joined, Atletico Madrid also won the La Liga championship and reached the Champions League final. It was the third pole outside the two tops of the Spanish Super League.

However, after this Asian Cup, everyone discovered that Atletico Madrid is indeed indispensable for Gao Zheng.

After Diego Costa left the team, Gao Zheng was the team's most stable scoring point.

Before leaving the team to participate in the Asian Cup, he scored goals in seven consecutive league rounds, which is not considered the Champions League group stage. He scored ten goals in seven league rounds, and he is still the team's number one scorer.

He scored 15 goals this season in the league. Although he left for a month and a half, he was only surpassed by Messi in the league scorer list.

The top scorer list is Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, scoring 28 goals, Messi ranked second with twenty-one goals, and the next third place is Gao Zheng, fifteen goals.

This is quite like the ranking of the three teams in the league standings.

The next afternoon, Gao Zheng appeared at the Mahada Onda training base at Atletico Madrid and reunited with his club teammates.

Everyone seemed very happy about Gao Zheng's return. They were talking and laughing with Gao Zheng and were having a happy time.

Diego Simeone also appeared on the sidelines. Under the witness of the reporters, he gave Gao Zheng a big hug.

Although Gao Zheng returned to the team, in the following training, everyone could still feel that Gao Zheng's health was not in the best condition.

This is normal. In Australia's twenty days, Gao Zheng played six games, with an average of more than three o'clock and a fierce battle with the South Korean team.

This high-intensity game has a great impact on Gao Zheng's physical fitness.

He is not the kind of player who is good at physical fitness.

In addition, he had just experienced nearly twenty hours of air flight, and the jet lag was probably not completely reversed.

It is already amazing to be able to appear on the training ground, and there should not be any unrealistic luxury for his condition.

Simeone also knew this very well, so in the 21st round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Eibar away. Although Gao Zheng was on the roster, he did not make it on the roster.

The reason given by Simeone is that Gao Zheng still needs sufficient rest.

There is nothing strange about this. After all, the next game against Real Madrid is more important. Even if there is no Gao Zheng in the game against Eibar, even if it is away, there should not be too much problem.

Of course, you have to try every means to let Gao Zheng rest when you have the opportunity.

Let him have the best form to face Real Madrid.

In the match against Eibar, Atletico Madrid defeated his opponent 3-1 away. When Gao Zheng came on as a substitute in the 80th minute, this was the score.

Gao Zheng was unable to score a goal, but Simeone was quite satisfied with his performance on the bench: "...it is important that Gao has no problem with his physical condition during the game."

The reporters nodded in agreement. Before the game against Real Madrid, Gao Zheng did not make any mistakes. As long as he performed well in his physical condition, he could use basically 100% of his condition to deal with Real Madrid.

Although Atletico Madrid eliminated Real Madrid without Gao Zheng in the Copa del Rey. However, Real Madrid obviously attaches different importance to the Copa del Rey and the league. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo did not have the Copa del Rey away from the Copa del Rey match.

And the same-city derby in this league will definitely happen as long as there are too many Portuguese people who are not injured.
Chapter completed!
