Chapter 387: When I Met Mero, I Turned into a Dragon

The matter of the Golden Globe Awards has been mentioned by the Chinese media, but it has only been mentioned.

More people are still focused on the reality in front of them.

The Ballon d'Or is still too far away for the vast majority of Chinese fans.

It is so far away that many people are reflexively unable to put Chinese players and the Ballon d'Or together.

As soon as I saw the headline "Gao Zheng is expected to win the Golden Globe Award", he habitually scolded the last sentence: "Stupid media!" ”

No matter how much evidence the media listed, they thought it was incredible.

Chinese football is still struggling, and suddenly a Chinese player can win the Golden Ball?

What is this concept?

It's like a whole family of you is still struggling with the food and clothing line, and you don't have the next meal, and suddenly find that someone in your family went out to pick up a lottery ticket, and actually won a billion jackpot - so magical, so impossible.

The majority of Chinese fans don't dare to think about the Golden Ball Award at all now, and their wishes are very simple: first, Gao Zheng can help Atletico Madrid win the La Liga championship; second, Gao Zheng was able to defeat Suarez and get the top scorer in La Liga; Third, Gao Zheng can win the Champions League with Atletico Madrid.

When Gao Zheng really achieves the above three points, it may be realistic to consider the Golden Globe Awards.

After the match against Bayern Munich, the whole Atletico Madrid team flew back to Madrid overnight and then disbanded on the spot at the airport.

Although there was still a league on the weekend, Simeone gave the team a full day off, so that all the Atletico Madrid players who traveled with the team on Wednesday did not use the training base, but could enjoy a rare holiday.

Of course, as a manager, Simeone and his coaching staff cannot rest, they still have to go to the training base as usual to lead the first-team players who have not been selected for the Champions League squad to train normally.

Then, in the evening, Simeone also gave homework to everyone in the coaching staff, which was to watch the live broadcast of Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final against Manchester City.

Check out their Champions League final opponents.

The situation of the first leg between the two sides is very similar to that of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, both of which leave the suspense to the second leg.

Real Madrid drew 0-0 away at Manchester City in the first leg and have great hopes of qualifying.

But I believe that after seeing what happened to Bayern Munich, Real Madrid should also make corresponding adjustments and reminders to remind the players not to repeat the mistakes of Bayern Munich.

If Manchester City scored an away goal, it would be miserable.

In the evening game at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid did play a little more cautiously.

It's not because this is their home stadium that they play particularly unrestrained.

In the 20th minute, relying on an own goal from Manchester City defender Fernando, Real Madrid took the lead, but they still played cautiously.

Cristiano Ronaldo started the game but failed to score and was unable to equal his own record for goals in a single season in the Champions League.

The final score of the game was 1:0, and Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City with an aggregate score of 1:0 and reached the final!

"Hah! Now there's a good show to watch! José Maria couldn't help but laugh when she saw the result. Two seasons ago, the Champions League final was played out in the Madrid derby for the first time, and Atletico Madrid equalised with a header from Sergio Ramos in the 93rd minute. At that time, no one probably thought that Atletico Madrid would be able to usher in a good opportunity for revenge so soon! ”

Simeone, who heard this in front of the TV, smiled.

yes, that's a great result.

He wanted Real Madrid to reach the final before the game, precisely to get revenge.

And now, his wish has come true!

A manly man, he who falls must get up from there.

Two seasons ago, his team lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and this time, with Gao Zheng and Antoine Griezmann, he wants revenge and is confident that it will succeed.

I'm not here to prove that I'm better than anyone, but to prove to the world that what I, Diego Simeone, lost, can be regained!

After this semi-final, almost all of Europe was talking about the word "revenge".

The Chinese media and public opinion field, thousands of miles away, are also talking about revenge.

Sometimes fate is coincidental and can be arranged.

In the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid met for the first time in the Champions League final.

Real Madrid were still struggling to win their tenth Champions League trophy in the club's history, and they had been on top of it for too long.

Since Zinedine Zidane helped the team win this trophy with a world wave in 2002, Real Madrid has not made an inch of success in the past 11 years, and even fell to the "Champions League 16" for a time, which was ridiculed.

At that time, Atletico Madrid had been 40 years since they last reached the Champions League final. Forty years ago, they lost their first chance to lift the Champions League trophy because of the bizarre replay mechanism at the time. At the time, no one could have imagined that this miss would be forty years.

The two teams were in a situation where Atletico Madrid were even more murderous, taking advantage of Casillas' mistake to open the scoring through Godin.

Then the whole team came together and defended tightly, intending to maintain the lead of this goal until the end of the game.

They almost succeeded.

At this time, Real Madrid's Ramos stepped up and made a beautiful lion shake to help Real Madrid equalize and send Atletico Madrid to hell.

Atletico Madrid, which went into extra time, was completely unable to lift its energy and collapsed completely.

And the manager Diego Simeone, who has always been known for his fighting power, was powerless in the face of fate, and could only watch his team concede three goals in extra time and lose the second Champions League final in the club's history with a score of 1:4, and once again missed the Champions League title.

After that final, there were rumors that Simeone was leaving Atletico Madrid, and that Atletico Madrid's fighting spirit was going to fall apart.

Many people think that the 2013-2014 season will be the pinnacle of Atletico Madrid.

They won the league and reached the final of the Champions League.

While they regret that Atletico Madrid did not win the Champions League, they also consciously or unconsciously convey another emotion, that is, the "contempt" for Atletico Madrid, they feel that the future of Atletico Madrid cannot create more brilliant achievements than this, and Atletico Madrid has lost the best opportunity in the history of the club, and it is also the last chance.

Atletico Madrid will surely slump after that.

Real Madrid not only beat Atletico Madrid in a Champions League final, but also addressed one of their biggest threats in the coming years.

Unexpectedly, in the summer when Atletico Madrid lost the Champions League, the team ushered in a newcomer.

At that time, no one expected that this newcomer, who was suspected of not being able to adapt to La Liga, would turn the stagnant water of La Liga upside down in the future!

Under his leadership, Atletico Madrid, which has been sentenced to death, has bucked the trend and is about to win the league for the third time in a row.

And where they fell, they also reached the Champions League final again!

It's really where you fall, you have to get up from there......

Atletico Madrid, which lost the Champions League, did not collapse, but became more and more vigorous, not to mention pressing Real Madrid and Barcelona to the ground in the domestic league, and now it will continue to perform like this in the Champions League!

During this period, the head coach of Atletico Madrid is still the same manager, and most of the main players are still those people, but a newcomer to La Liga has come.

At the beginning, some people thought that he was just a small loach, and he could only live a nourishing life in a small pond like the declining Serie A.

Now I know, what kind of little loach...... It's clear that there's a dragon!

The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they meet Mero!
