Chapter 223: Mental Explosion
When Griezmann passed the football to Gao Zheng, many people felt that it was nothing more than a dying struggle for Atletico Madrid, meaningless. Even some Atletico Madrid fans feel that Griezmann should not be so reckless, he should pass the football back, and when there is no chance, he should be steady, control the football on his side, or at least delay the time.
Who would have thought that Gao Zheng would use a beautiful volley to pump the football into Barcelona's goal?
Diego Simeone showed a surprised expression, his instructions to the team was to defend strictly after the opening, so Atletico Madrid did not invest much in the attack during this time, even if there were some opportunities to counterattack, it was basically Griezmann and Gao Zheng.
After seeing Gao Zheng's goal, a sentence popped up in his mind: "Offense is the best defense." ”
This sentence is actually wrong in a sense, and it is not universal.
But at this moment, Simeone can only come to this conclusion - when Barcelona unscrupulously bombarded Atletico Madrid's half, Gao Zheng helped the team reduce the defensive pressure with a goal, which was better than their previous shrinkage near their own penalty area.
Now Barcelona are 1-5 down on aggregate and Atletico Madrid has an away goal. The Spanish Super Cup has to have an away goal advantage.
Atletico Madrid's away goal means Barcelona are now useless even if they equalise. They only had to score three more goals, but now they have to score four more.
But there is not much time left for them.
Gao Zheng's goal occurred in the 53rd minute, and Barcelona had to score four goals in a row in the remaining 40 minutes, even if it was an away from Barcelona, it was almost impossible, because Atletico Madrid is not a wooden man who will only be beaten passively and will not fight back, Gao Zheng's goal is to prove that when Barcelona is pouring out, you must be careful that Atletico Madrid scores goals by counterattacking.
Barcelonans probably know this better than anyone else.
So when the TV broadcast swept the camera to the stands at the Camp Nou, every Barcelona fan who appeared in the camera was painful and confused.
The pain is because of conceding a goal, and the confusion is not seeing any hope of winning the game.
The stands, which were bustling with activity just a moment ago, are now quiet like a hospital morgue, and all Barcelona fans are heartbroken.
Even if Gao Zheng made a "shut up" gesture towards them after the goal, they really closed their mouths very cooperatively and did not boo Gao Zheng.
This silence lasted for about a dozen seconds, and then a loud noise erupted in the stands, mixed with boos and scolding.
Naturally, they were all given to Gao Zheng and Atletico Madrid.
But at this time, Gao Zheng was already surrounded by his teammates.

"Barcelona wanted to create the Camp Nou miracle, but obviously, they didn't ask Gao Zheng's opinion, so this miracle was denied by Gao!" José Maria said happily. Gao's goal was a reassurance to all Atletico Madrid fans, who no longer had to worry about Barcelona's attack. It can even be said that Gao's goal killed the game in advance......"
The few Atletico Madrid fans waved the Chinese flag in the stands, but these were not Chinese students, and through the TV broadcast camera, it was easy to find that those holding the five-star red flag were all white-skinned foreigners, Spaniards!
Atletico Madrid fans are using this way to express their love for Gao Zheng - love the house and Wu. You are Chinese, then I like you at the same time, I also like China. Everything Chinese has become cute in the eyes of Atletico Madrid fans.
This scene surprised many Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast through the online platform, they knew that Gao Zheng had a high status in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans, but they still didn't expect it to be so high......

Gao Zheng and his teammates were back on the court, everyone with a relaxed smile.
But the mentality of the players on Barcelona's side exploded.
Especially Pique.
Before the game, he and Gao Zheng got together, and he said that he wanted to create a miracle at Camp Nou, and Gao Zheng laughed in return, as if he had told a funny joke.
Now that Gao Zheng has scored the goal, it was scored under Pique's close defense, which really turned Pique's pre-game rhetoric into a joke.
The more Pique thought about it, the angrier he became.
He didn't feel like he had been so embarrassed against Cristiano Ronaldo.
How is it that when you meet this Chinese, it is as if you have lost all your good luck?
Just three minutes after Gao Zheng's goal, Gao Zheng picked up the ball on the wing of the midfield, and Pique stepped forward to defend.
Facing Gao Zheng, who was facing away from him to protect the ball, Pique kicked directly.
Gao Zheng saw that Pique grabbed it fiercely, so he passed the football out.
But even if he passed the football away, Pique didn't let him go, and directly swept Gao Zheng to the ground without the ball.
With Gao Zheng's shout, the linesman not far from them raised the flag in his hand and waved it quickly - this means that there is a foul.
"Ouch! Pique's kick is too ruthless! José Maria exclaimed. Gao Ming has already passed the football away, he is still playing, and he is kicking from behind, at least one yellow card can't run! ”
However, Simeone probably doesn't care what color Pique card is, he cares more about whether Gao Zheng will be injured because of Pique's kick.
Seeing him lying on the ground, his hands on his heels, Simone's heart hung up.
There was a lot of boos in the stands at Camp Nou - Barcelona fans thought Gao Zheng was a fake fall and deliberately exaggerated to frame Pique.
After Pique fouled, he yelled at the linesman who signaled that there was a foul: "It's not a foul at all, I didn't kick him!!" ”
The linesman ignored him, but communicated to the referee through a headset: "Pique yelled at me, you have to come over and calm him down." ”
The referee pressed the headset and replied: "Roger, I'll come over now." ”
He then ran to the scene of the incident and pulled out a yellow card at the same time.
Seeing that the linesman ignored him, Pique stepped forward again, his face almost touching the linesman's face, and he angrily rebuked: "This is a frame-up!" You bitch-raised ......"
His saliva squirted all over the linesman's face.
The linesman told the referee via a headset: "Pique said I was raised by a bitch......"
"What? Did he really say that? The referee ran over and spoke to the linesman through the headset.
"Yes, it's true, he acts like he's going to eat me......"
"Okay, I see." This is the referee has run to the scene of the incident, and he put the yellow card back in his hand.
This move would have relieved many Barcelona fans - as a central defender, if you have a yellow card, this defense will be limited.
As a result, the referee's next move gave these relieved Barcelona fans a blow to the head - he pulled out a red card from his mouth like a trick!
"Red card! Pique is going to be sent off! There was nothing wrong with the decision, and even if Pique didn't yell at the linesman and kicked him from behind, he should have been sent off! José Maria said.
And the Catalan commentator shouted with dissatisfaction: "This is a frame-up!" It's obviously a yellow card, why did it change to a red card?! Did Pique have anything disrespectful to the linesman? I don't believe Pique is such an easy person to lose his mind! This is the 312th game Pique has played for Barcelona, and in those 312 games, he has only six red cards, an average of more than 50 games, such data shows that he is not the kind of player who is prone to red cards, as a central defender, he is clean enough! ”
Enrique also looked angry on the sidelines, waving his fist at the fourth official to express his emotions.
The Camp Nou booed again, this time to the referee.
