Gao Zheng actually knew nothing about what happened at the regular mid-week press conference because he did not usually watch sports news on Spanish TV.

When he had that time, he would rather watch the Chinese Internet or chat with Feng Shiyao through the thousands of mountains and the times difference.

It was when Torres came to him to explain the situation that he knew what happened at the regular mid-week press conference.

With rich experience in fighting, he immediately knew what the Catalan journalist who asked the question wanted to do, and he was uneasy.

No wonder Torres came to explain specifically to him, because he must be worried that he would be affected by the media and would have misunderstandings.

He did not think Torres's move was suspected of "a villain's heart to judge a gentleman", but he understood Torres's actions very well, which fully demonstrated Torres' respect for himself.

So he quickly smiled and comforted Torres: "The reporters are talking nonsense. We are teammates. Don't think randomly, I won't think randomly."

Torres also smiled and said, "I knew you were a sensible person. But I think I should still tell you that this is respect for you."

Gao Zheng thanked Torres for his respect for him, and then expressed his respect to Torres: "I grew up watching you play football, Fernando."

"Ah?" Torres frowned, and said, "Do I look that old?"

Gao Zheng quickly said: "You have become famous early. You scored thirteen goals in the La Liga in the 20022003 season. You were only nineteen years old at that time. How amazing!"

In fact, Torres is only 31 years old now, and as a professional player, he is still quite a golden age.

But now he gives people a feeling that he has been declining.

This is true. Torres, who became famous early, declined early. In Liverpool's last season, he only scored nine goals due to injury. This is the first time in his career that he scored twice in a single season, but not the last time.

After transferring to Chelsea, he has not scored more than single digits in a single season.

When he was young, he had experienced injuries frequently and had lost the weapon to become famous. After his confidence was frustrated, his feeling in front of the goal was gone forever. So in fact, Torres's strength is no longer the same as before, and it is also necessary to play as a substitute at Atletico Madrid. Everyone knows this, so no one would have been surprised that as a legendary club, he could not play as the main player after returning to the team.

Gao Zheng actually wanted to praise Torres, but as soon as this topic was thrown out, compared with Torres' current situation, there seemed to be some bad hints. After all, the topic about the current situation was just picked up by the Catalan media.

So he quickly added: "Uh, sorry, I didn't mean you."

Unexpectedly, Torres was more open-minded than him and waved his hand: "There are ups and downs in the state and life are ups and downs, which is normal. You must cheer on the weekend games."

He clenched his fists and waved at Gao Zheng.

When saying goodbye, Torres blinked at Gao Zheng: "You have not scored in two rounds of league goals now. Although I don't think it's a big deal, you should still be careful of those boring reporters. Especially I know that you seem to offend a Catalan reporter online. If you have any questions, please come to me. Don't worry, I have a lot of experience in this regard!"

Watching Torres leave, Gao Zheng thought that what he called "very experienced" was suddenly from a top scorer who scored more than a dozen goals in a single season and had a laughing stock that everyone laughed at.

Over the years, he has indeed accumulated a lot of "experience" in the face of malice of public opinion.

But I didn't lie to you. I really grew up watching you play football, Fernando.

The reporter who was worried about Torres was talking about the incident that Gao Zheng did not score in two consecutive rounds, but it did not appear. Perhaps it was because Torres came to the team on loan during the winter break after all, so he didn't know much about Gao Zheng's previous incident.

In fact, the Spanish media circle now will no longer cause trouble for Gao Zheng with this matter. They know very well that this will only give Gao Zheng a chance to slap them in the face.

And if you use this excuse to pick Gao Zheng’s thorns, most neutral fans will not accept it, because players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have also failed to score goals in two consecutive rounds in the league. This is really normal for a striker. There are even many strikers who do not score goals in two consecutive rounds, which is considered to be very outstanding.

But this does not mean that the Catalan media can't find the angle to attack Gao Zheng, but they just need to lie on the ground, stick out their butt, and use very much force to find such an angle.

Blanco wrote an article in the Daily Sports newspaper where he worked for to emphasize improving his morale is an abnormal striker's argument.

Of course, the reason is because of Gao Zheng's poor number of headers.

"Gao said he wouldn't be heading after defeating Real Madrid in the Super Cup. Of course he was to mock us, but I think he was right, he just couldn't be heading. Even if he scored a heading in that game, it wouldn't be any problem. Because his heading was really small. In the league, he only scored a heading against Real Madrid. Then what? He scored 36 goals in the league this season, but only one heading. Doesn't this prove our point of view? So what's wrong with our previous conclusion?"

"You said you headed the ball well, and you can use it if you have the ability! The number of crosses from Atletico Madrid this season has decreased significantly compared with last season, and the offensive style has also changed accordingly. I think the main reason why Atletico Madrid cannot win the league championship is this. Atletico Madrid players are not very adaptable to the new tactics. In order to cooperate with them, they have to change the style of playing they were originally used to."

"Behind their efforts to gather the team, they have raised 36 goals in the single season in the league. Behind the 11 goals in the Champions League, are the self-sacrifice or forced sacrifice of other players. For example, Griezmann, who scored 16 goals in Real Sociedad last season, made a transfer to Atletico Madrid, which is stronger, but only scored ten goals. Isn't this a problem? With Simeone's uncontrollable trust and support, Gao Que

The scorer performance is really impressive, but the price is that Atletico Madrid's overall state declines. Last season, Atletico Madrid tied the latter at Barcelona and won the league championship. At that time, they were more like a team and a whole. Now they are so bright, but do anyone still remember other Atletico Madrid players? Now it's Barcelona's turn to defeat their opponents at Atletico Madrid and lock in the championship. The fate is really interesting."

Blanco's long speech was not only posted in the Daily Sports News, but also transferred it to Twitter and Gao Zheng.

When Gao Zheng browsed this article on Twitter, he was shocked that he didn't expect that the Daily Sports News was so stupid that he wanted to drown twice in a river.

He even talked about headers.

You said that if you are the Madrid media, support Cristiano Ronaldo and use the header to hit me, I can still accept it.

You clearly support Barcelona where Messi is, so you have the nerve to use a header to tell things. Are you blaming me or Messi?

Moreover, after provoking Torres' relationship with him failed, he also provoked his relationship with Griezmann and all Atletico Madrid teammates.

Gao Zheng directly replied to Blanco on Twitter: "I think Messi has made few headers, why don't you put your point of view on Messi?"

Blanco quickly replied: "Messi is 1.7 meters tall, you are 1.9 meters tall, and Messi can solve the goal problem with just using his magical left foot most of the time!"

"Well said! I can score with my feet, why do I have to use my head?" Gao Zheng also gave an applauding expression.

"You deserve to be against Messi? Messi is the number one person in the world football history. He led Barcelona to create the greatest football dynasty of the 21st century! Who are you? The first time I saw such a shameless person, hahaha!" Blanco smiled happily. He felt that he had successfully allowed netizens to see the ugly Gao Zheng's overestimation of his ability, just like a clown.

Gao Zheng, holding the phone, smiled very happily. Now he challenged Messi, but he was "famous in his master's position"!
