Chapter two hundred and forty-eight
Cristiano Ronaldo still remembers the challenge book he sent to Gao Zheng after the end of last season.
But because he still remembers, he is a little anxious now.
Currently, he has played six rounds in the league. In terms of league rankings, Real Madrid, where he is located, is fourth.
In terms of personal honor, although he scored five goals in the game against Espanyol, he was the only five goals he scored so far.
He failed to score a goal whether he beat Granada 1-0 or beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1.
In the last round of the league, Real Madrid was tied 0-0 by Malaga at home, and he failed to make a contribution to the team.
He has missed three consecutive league games.
During this period, although Gao Zheng scored far less than his goals in a single game, his victory was stable, and he scored one goal at a time, and he actually accumulated enough advantages to surpass him step by step.
Now Gao Zheng has scored six goals, surpassing him in the league scorer list and leading the scorer list.
Team honors and personal honors are now surpassed by Gao Zheng.
This made Ronaldo feel restless when he remembered what he said at the end of last season.
For him, the next Madrid city derby is his own chance to achieve a reversal.
※※※
Cristiano Ronaldo really wants to score against Atletico Madrid.
So from the beginning of this game, he was very active, constantly looking for opportunities in front of the goal, and shooting at the goal as soon as he got the ball.
But unfortunately, his sightseeing today doesn't seem to be very good.
Shortly after the opening, Modric made a cross from the bottom of the wing. The Portuguese jumped high near the penalty spot, but the header did not hit the right end. The football missed the goal and did not threaten Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Oblak.
Atletico Madrid also launched a counterattack. Young player Oliver Torres made a cross from the left, Gao Zheng shot from a small angle from the left side of the small penalty area, and the football hit the side net.
Then Real Madrid crossed from Isco from the right to find Cristiano Ronaldo who was ambushed in the penalty area. As a result, Godin, who saw through Isco's intention to pass the ball in advance, cleared the ball.
The two sides did not test each other at the beginning. They were already very familiar with each other and did not waste time at all.
So the game started to enter a very fast pace. Both sides fought back and forth, and the fight was very lively.
Before the game was ten minutes, both sides had already played for several rounds.
In the ninth minute, Real Madrid launched another attack from the wing, and right back Carvajal inserted behind him, surpassing Atletico Madrid left-back Felipe, catching up with the football, and kicked the football in front of the goal with one kick before him.
Seeing this, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly inserted from the middle and planned to grab the point.
Seeing his forward pass so quickly, Atletico Madrid's defender did not dare to neglect, Jimenez rushed to Cristiano Ronaldo, while Godin was guarding the front point and preparing to head the ball to clear the ball.
However, after Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up, he failed to hit the football. The football passed by above his head, just a little bit short of...
Just when Real Madrid fans were regretting Ronaldo this time, they saw the French striker Benzema jumping high behind him, then a powerful rush to the top, pushing the flying football towards Atletico Madrid's goal!
This time, around him, no Atletico Madrid defensive player was the original Atletico Madrid captain Gabi followed Benzema back to the penalty area, but his attention was also attracted by Ronaldo and let Benzema go.
Faced with this unexpected header, goalkeeper Oblak made a save, but it was too late.
Benzema's rushing to the top was so powerful that the football hit the net like a cannonball...
"Benzema!!! Real Madrid took the lead away!!" Jose Maria shouted.
When Atletico Madrid was playing against Barcelona, he was of course on Atletico Madrid's side, but when the two Madrid teams met, he became a neutral and objective commentator again.
He was happy with Real Madrid's goal, and he was also happy with Atletico Madrid's goal.
Real Madrid scored the goal first, which was still at Atletico Madrid's home court, which means there is a good show in this game!

After scoring the goal, Benzema opened his arms excitedly and ran to the corner flag area. Then he waved his fists hard to the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands and made a "upload punch".
The punch was like hitting all Atletico Madrid fans on the chin.
After the initial surprise, Atletico Madrid fans booed Benzema with deafening booing.
This is simply a naked provocation!
But Benzema is not easy. Maybe he didn't think so much, he just wanted to vent his emotions.
Since joining Real Madrid, he has been living in the shadow of Cristiano Ronaldo. But you should know that when he joined Real Madrid, media and club chairman Florentino regarded him as the successor of Ronaldo in Brazil.
Everyone says that his football style is similar to that of Ronaldo.
As a result, in reality, he is more of a cover for Cristiano Ronaldo and serves as a foil.
Even if you have to take the blame and win the ball, it is all due to the Portuguese, and if you lose, it depends on him, Benzema.
He failed to seize all kinds of opportunities to score goals, and became a laughing stock for everyone to laugh at him.
It seems that he is really useless.
But this season, he has eliminated this decline.
Except for the first round of the league this season, he missed the flaws, and he was like a cheat in the next game.
Against Betis, he scored a goal; against Espanyol, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored five yuan alone, was the protagonist, but he still scored one goal; against Granada, he scored the only goal in the game, helping Real Madrid defeat his opponent; against Atletico Bilbao, he scored all two goals in Real Madrid, helping Real Madrid defeat his opponent 2:1...
After seven rounds of the league, he has scored six goals, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, becoming the number one scorer in Real Madrid, and tied for Atletico Madrid's Gao Zheng in the scorer list and tied for the first place.
At the same time, he also scored a goal in the Champions League. He scored seven goals in his eight games this season.
This state suppressed Cristiano Ronaldo's limelight.
He is no longer the scapegoat, nor is he the "Benzawa Meow" that fans jokingly call him, but he has truly become "Benzawa Hu"!
This state makes him feel proud of his desire to turn over and become his master.
