Chapter 214 Cruise Missiles
While shaking hands, Messi took a special look at Gao Zheng.
At this time, he realized that Gao Zheng was always looking at him. When he found out that he was looking over, he smiled at him.
Messi quickly moved his eyes away. He didn't think Gao Zheng was expressing kindness to him. He felt a little uncomfortable with this smile.
Looking at Messi's dodging eyes, Gao Zheng smiled even brighter.
He thought Messi and Ronaldo were really interesting. If Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of him, facing his gaze, he might look at him fiercely for a while.
But Messi chose to look away, as if he was deliberately avoiding.
It's a completely different personality...
But he would not think that Messi is a soft persimmon just because he took the initiative to look away.
Although some people say that the Spanish Super Cup is a slightly more formal "warm-up match", he will do his best because his opponent is Barcelona, which has Messi.

After the game began, Atletico Madrid, as the home team, entered the pace of the game faster.
Barcelona, on the other hand, did not seem to have recovered from the 120-minute game against Sevilla.
Goalkeeper Ter Stegen made a mistake in understanding the ball as soon as he came up. He did not hit the football far and gave Atletico Madrid a chance...
"Gao!!" Gao Zheng swung his feet and shot in the air amid Jose Maria's shouting.
However, the football he shot first hit the ground and then bounced high, wasting some time. Ter Stegen, who was rushing back, pushed the football out of the near corner.
A huge sigh erupted in the stands at Calderon Stadium.
"Telstegen made a mistake just now, and now he himself made up for this mistake... Gao almost scored the first record for Atletico Madrid. It's a pity that he hit the football. Perhaps because the opportunity came too suddenly, he was a little unprepared..."
In the subsequent corner kick, Godin grabbed the point in front of the goal and headed the ball slightly off.
Although there were no goals in these two attacks, everyone could see that Atletico Madrid was in good shape at home, which made Atletico Madrid fans very excited.
Although Atletico Madrid had snatched the league championship from Barcelona last season, Atletico Madrid fans are not satisfied. Of course, they hope that their team can continue to beat Barcelona and bring more honor to the club.
What's more, Barcelona, which just won the European Super Cup, is in a strong momentum, and public opinion is full of praise and flattery for them, especially the Catalan media. It seems that winning the Spanish Super Cup is no problem in words.
This made Atletico Madrid fans very upset.
I also lost the league championship to us last season. What gave you courage and confidence, and I feel that I can take the Super Cup championship from us?
Although the Spanish Super Cup is not the kind of champion with high gold content, if you can beat Barcelona and win this championship, the gold content will rise sharply.

In the 13th minute, Gao Zheng retreated to the midfield to meet his teammates. His retreat attracted Barcelona's central defender Pique, so Gabi, who took the ball, did not pass the ball to him, but directly passed it to Griezmann who was in front.
Griezmann was quick to move forward, suddenly rushed forward from Vermullen, rushed behind him, and rushed straight to Barcelona's penalty area.
However, Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen did not let him do what he wanted. As a Barcelona goalkeeper, Ter Stegen had a large range of movement, and he had a prediction of the situation on the field. After seeing Gao Zheng suddenly retreating and Pique was pulled away, he was wary of the opponent's attack directly behind the defense.
So after seeing Gabi pass the football over, even if the football landed outside the penalty area, he rushed out without hesitation and cleared the football before Griezmann.
This is the quality that Barcelona goalkeeper must possess.
He succeeded.
"Griezmann has a chance...oh! Ter Stegen cleared the football with his head before he snatched him! The football was headed toward the midfield!"
A sigh of regret sounded again in the stands of Calderon Stadium.
But their sighs soon came to an abrupt end.
Because they saw the football pushed out by Ter Stegen flew straight to the area where Gao Zheng was!
A sense of expectation surged from the hearts of these people.
You know, after Ter Stegen headed the ball, he had not had time to run back! He was still outside the penalty area!
"The football was pushed towards the center circle, and it was high there. He ran towards the football and shot without stopping the ball!!!"
Gao Zheng did not stop the ball because he knew that time was precious, and even if he delayed for one more second, he might have no chance.
So he took a huge risk and kicked the flying football directly towards the goal!
At such a distance from the goal, even if the football is adjusted and then shot, it will be very difficult, let alone that he keeps shooting directly.
The football shot by him is not the kind of slow sling shot, but the volley of the outside instep. This makes Gao Zhengyi more courageous. After all, this shooting method will make the football more difficult to control and reduce the accuracy.
But in order to compete for time with Ter Stegen, Gao Zheng had no choice but to do this.
Under everyone's gaze, the football flew towards Barcelona's goal.
At the same time, Ter Stegen was running towards the goal desperately, as if he was racing like football.
Barcelona fans all hoped to have a false alarm. After all, it was difficult to score a goal with such a distance, which was like a very long three-pointer on the basketball court.
But as the football flew to the goal, the hearts of many Barcelona fans fell to the bottom.
Because they saw that the football did not fly high above the crossbar as they wanted, nor did they miss the goal, but flew straight towards the goal!
This scene was like they watched the cruise missile carrying nuclear warheads fall from the sky in the distance, and then slammed back towards their base. Destruction was right in front of them, but they could do nothing!
Ter Stegen was desperately back to defense, but his speed was still a little worse than the flight speed of the football. When he just ran to the penalty spot, the football had already lowered its height below the crossbar. There was no need to jump at this height. He just needed to raise his hand to touch the football.
But unfortunately, the football has already flown to five or six meters in front of him at this moment. Even if he raises his hands and jumps up, he can only touch the air disturbed by the football!
So he didn't even take off again because it was futile.
He just watched the football pass over his head and crashed into the goal in front of him!
