Chapter 423: A Miracle Like No One Before
Sergio Aguero's 88th-minute goal completely shattered the spirit of the Barcelona players.
With three goals down in the 88th minute of the game, everyone knows that even with stoppage time, Barcelona will not be able to equalise.
Sergio Aguero's goal was the last goal of the game.
In the 93rd minute, with the referee's three whistles, the 16th round of the 2012/2013 La Liga season Barcelona home against Atletico Madrid topspot battle came to an end.
Atletico players, coaches and thousands of Atletico away fans who accompanied the team celebrated on the Camp Nou.
In this battle for the top of the La Liga table, the two sides scored a total of nine goals as Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 6-3 at Camp Nou.
Among them, Zhang Huasong scored two goals in the senior + assist, almost one person dominated the result of this game, and achieved two assists in a single game for the first time.
Moreover, it was achieved in the match against Barcelona, and the gold content is extremely high.
Zhang Huasong was also the first player to stage a quadruple at Camp Nou as an away player, which caused a lot of media coverage around the world after the game.
It can be said that Zhang Huasong single-handedly captured the Camp Nou and conceded the shame of conceding 6 goals in a single game.
In the standings, Atletico Madrid also surpassed Barcelona with this big victory, ranking first in the La Liga standings with 45 points, while Barcelona stayed at 43 points.
Atletico Madrid reached the top of the standings for the first time.
After the game, Zhang Huasong's senior happiness, rainbow passing goals, two assists, etc., have become the object of heated discussions among the global media and fans, and they have not been able to subside for a long time.
A few days later, on December 20, UEFA held a draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, and the specific bracket table for the quarter-finals was drawn.
According to the draw rules, the group winners of each group will not meet, and the teams of the same national league will not meet.
In the end, Atletico Madrid drew a team that is weak on paper, but none of the European teams are willing to play away from home: Galatasaray, who are second in Group H.
The schedule is that Atletico Madrid first and then home, occupying a more favorable schedule.
As a team in the Turkish league, Galatasaray's strength on paper is simply not enough in front of the continental giants, and the last time Galatasaray participated in the Champions League was several years ago.
This time it is very good to return to the Champions League after five years to qualify from the group, but in terms of strength, there is still no comparison for the teams in Europe's top five leagues.
However, there is a reason why European teams are reluctant to face this team: Galatasaray's home stadium is the Ali Samyan Stadium in Istanbul.
Fans in Turkey are known for their fanaticism, and the Ali Samyan Stadium is known as "hell". Galatasaray fans unfurled a banner for the visitors at the Ali Samiyan Stadium: "Welcome to Hell!"
It's not much to just like football, but the Turkish fans are a bit overzealous and the visiting players can even feel like their lives are in danger.
Of course, in fact, it is not only the danger of life, but the real danger of life.
Manchester United's king Eric Cantona has been beaten here, and Leeds United fans have been beaten to death here by Turkish football hooligans.
It is not for nothing that Galatasaray's home stadium is widely regarded as the most dangerous and terrifying home stadium in the world.
Therefore, even the well-informed stars of European giants such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and AC Milan sometimes shrink and play erratically when playing away from Istanbul, resulting in the team's defeat away.
However, this home stadium does not scare Simeone, nor does it scare the entire Atletico Madrid team that has been coached by Simeone for more than a year.
In an interview, Simeone, captain Gabi, and core Zhang Huasong all said that they would let Galatasaray's players and fans know that football wins by kicking, not by shouting and scolding in the stands!
Galatasaray's manager and captain said they would keep Atletico out of hell!
Of course, the knockout rounds of the Champions League are already next year, and the most important thing for Atletico at the moment is to continue to maintain their lead against Barcelona in the league and not make mistakes.
On December 21, the day after the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, in the 17th round of La Liga, the last league game before the winter break of La Liga, Atletico Madrid faced Celta de Vigo at home.
In this game, Zhang Huasong scored another hat-trick and assisted Falcao to score a goal, and Costa assisted Aguero to score a goal.
Atletico Madrid's 5-0 win showed the world that the Champions League quarter-final draw against Galatasaray did not affect them in the slightest.
In addition, Atletico Madrid also continues to lead the standings with 48 points, and Barcelona can only continue to be two points behind Atletico Madrid in second place, although they also won.
However, Real Madrid fell behind. They lost away to Málaga and the gap between them and Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is getting wider.
This season's La Liga title seems to have only been produced between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid won the winter break and took the initiative on the road to the title.
The 2012/2013 La Liga winter break was accompanied by a half-month break.
However, for a superstar of Zhang Huasong's level, there is no rest.
Although Zhang Huasong's status as a wealthy man now makes him stop accepting ordinary advertisements, Pan Xiaowen still took a few of those world-class brand endorsements that offered sky-high prices after discussing with Zhang Huasong.
In the next few days, Zhang Huasong filmed three new advertising endorsements in Europe, participated in interviews with two media outlets in Spain and Germany, and appeared on a Spanish TV program.
It wasn't until December 27 that Zhang Huasong returned to China, and then began to record and shoot a new music album.
In 2012, Zhang Huasong was busy participating in the Olympic Games, winning the tennis Golden Slam, and cross-border football, and never released a new music album.
Fans have a high demand and demand for Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei's new songs, and this time Zhang Huasong has prepared some new songs to be released after the year.
After spending a few days recording the album, Zhang Huasong finally relaxed completely on December 31, turned off all communications, spent a New Year's Eve with his wife Shu Yufei at home in Beijing, and slept completely relaxed until 11:30 p.m. the next day, New Year's Day 2013.
After resting at home for one day, Zhang Huasong and Shu Yufei went to the headquarters of Feixun Group to deal with group affairs.
After dealing with some accumulated things in Feixun Group and his studio, Zhang Huasong flew back to Spain on January 5, ready to start the second half of the season.
On 6 January 2013, the second half of the 2012/2013 La Liga season resumed after the winter break, with Atletico Madrid playing Mallorca away in the 18th round of La Liga.
This game, perhaps due to the impact of the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, the rest of Atletico's teammates are not in good shape.
Throughout the game, Atletico Madrid only defended, did not counterattack, and got very few shots on goal.
In the end, though, Atletico Madrid beat Mallorca 2-1 away thanks to a brace from Zhang Huasong, a free-kick and a long-distance counter-attack.
Barcelona thrashed Espanyol 4-0 at home, but are still two points behind Atletico Madrid and remain in the chasing position.
On January 10, in the 1/8 finals of the Spanish Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid's whole team recovered, easily defeated Getafe 4-0 away, and advanced to the top 8 of the Copa del Rey with a total score of 7-0 over two legs, and Zhang Huasong scored a hat trick.
On January 13, in the 19th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Zaragoza.
90 minutes later, the score was fixed at 6-1, Zhang Huasong once again staged a big four, and assisted Aguero to score a goal, dominating the game with a dazzling result of 4 goals + 1 assist.
On January 17, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid played Real Betis at home.
In this game, Zhang Huasong only scored one free kick, but assisted all three remaining goals, and scored a hat trick of assists, and Atletico Madrid easily defeated Real Betis with a score of 4-0, making the second leg basically lose suspense.
Zhang Huasong's assist ability as a forward midfielder is getting stronger and stronger.
On January 20, in the 20th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Levante 3-0 at home, and Zhang Huasong scored twice and added an assist to continue to maintain the efficiency of scoring goals in each game.
Up to now, Zhang Huasong has already set a record of scoring consecutive games. Zhang Huasong's goal in every game is not news, and it will become news when Zhang Huasong does not score in a game one day.
Moreover, it is not unusual for Zhang Huasong to score twice and an assist in this round. Strangely, Barcelona lost: they lost 3-2 away to Real Sociedad.
Because of the contradiction between the Catalan region where Barcelona is located and the central government, Barcelona, which is the flag of Catalonia, and Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Espanyol, etc., which represent the Spanish government, are actually mortal enemies.
However, despite this, Barcelona have not been beaten in any other game this season, except for a big defeat at home to Atletico Madrid with Zhang Huasong.
And this defeat came a little suddenly.
Perhaps, it was the mood of the sworn enemy that made Real Sociedad explode at home, beating Barcelona 3-2.
Whatever the reason for Barcelona's defeat on the road, this game was a joy for Atletico Madrid.
After the 20th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid has 57 points with a record of 19 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the La Liga standings.
Barcelona has a record of 17 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, ranking second with 52 points, and is 5 points away by Atletico Madrid.
Many Atletico Madrid fans have already seen hope of Atletico Madrid winning the league title this season.
On January 25, in the second leg of the 1/4 finals of the Spanish Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid played Real Betis away.
Because of the 4-0 lead in the first leg, there was basically no suspense in the second leg, Simeone left many main players in the training base, and only brought a few main players and a group of substitutes to the away side, Zhang Huasong was not among them.
In the end, Atletico Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw away from home by Real Betis.
However, the score was of little use to Real Betis, who were knocked out by Atletico Madrid 5-1 on aggregate, and Atletico Madrid had already reached the last four of the 2012/2013 Copa del Rey season.
On January 27, in the 21st round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid, who rested for a Copa del Rey, played a goal battle with Athletic Bilbao away.
In this game, Athletic Bilbao played quite aggressively, almost completely ignoring the defense and attacking at home against Atletico Madrid.
In the end, Athletic Bilbao scored three goals at home against David De Gea.
However, Athletic Bilbao is still much worse than Atletico Madrid's attacking power in the frontcourt. Especially Zhang Huasong, they can't prevent it at all.
Of course, maybe they didn't want to defend and completely put their energy into the attack, resulting in an empty defense.
In the end, Athletic Bilbao scored three goals against Atletico Madrid, while their own goal was crossed seven times by Atletico Madrid.
Zhang Huasong was a big fan in this game, not only scoring a hat trick of goals, but also scoring a hat trick of assists.
In the same game, a player scored a double hat trick of goals + assists, which no one had ever thought of before, let alone done it.
And Zhang Huasong completed this feat in this game.
When Zhang Huasong assisted Costa to score Atletico Madrid's seventh goal in the 91st minute of the game, completing a double hat-trick of goals + assists, countless commentators chanted "This is a miracle".
After the game, Zhang Huasong's double hat trick was swiped on TV, newspapers, and the Internet all over the world, allowing the world to see Zhang Huasong's increasingly comprehensive attack power in the front midfield.
As the cooperation with his teammates becomes more and more tacit, Zhang Huasong, who puts himself in the overall tactics of Atletico Madrid, is becoming more and more difficult to guard.
On January 31, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Atletico Madrid played Sevilla at home.
In the end, relying on Zhang Huasong's brace and two assists, Atletico Madrid defeated Sevilla 4-1 at home, and also basically announced that the suspense of the second leg was lost.
On February 3, in the 22nd round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Betis 3-0 at home. Zhang Huasong still continued his feat of scoring in every game, scoring a goal and registering an assist.
Atletico's home win and Zhang Huasong's goal were not surprising, but it was surprising that Barcelona did not win in this round of games.
They were held to a 1-1 draw away from home by Valencia.
As a result, after this round of games, Atletico Madrid topped the standings with 63 points from 22 rounds, while Barcelona only ranked second with 56 points, 7 points behind Atletico Madrid, and the difference in points was getting bigger and bigger.
Not only were Barcelona held to a draw, Real Madrid were also beaten away from home by Granada.
Real Madrid no longer has the possibility of competing with horses to win the championship.
Seeing rivals Barcelona being forced to draw and city rivals Real Madrid losing, Atletico Madrid fans celebrated in the streets and bars like a holiday.
However, at this time, Zhang Huasong had already left Spain after the match with Real Betis and flew to Saudi Arabia to prepare for the 2015 Asian Cup qualifiers when the Chinese team played against Saudi Arabia.
This is not a 2014 World Cup qualifier, but a 2015 Asian Cup qualifier. However, for the Chinese team, the continental competition is also very important, and Zhang Huasong has to participate in the same competition.
