Atletico Madrid's home game against Villarreal has just begun, and it is indeed a bit like everyone predicted before the game, it seems that Atletico Madrid is absent-minded.

This was evident from the fact that it was Villarreal who scored first, not the home side, with Villarreal's Luciano Vietto opening the scoring for the visitors in the 17th minute.

"Bietto! Oooooooo It was his fifth goal of the season! For the most young player making his debut in La Liga, this is a very good performance. And he also has a relationship with Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone - his debut in the Argentine First Division was achieved under Simeone, who was a Simeone player at the time. Now the former disciple has broken through the teacher's goal, ha! ”

Vietto was excited after the goal.

He switched to Atlético Argentina that year, playing under Simeone and performing well. He moved to Villarreal from Athletic Club this season in hopes of making a name for himself in La Liga.

For now, the outlook is bright.

The Villarreal fans who came with the team cheered and cheered for the team.

They are currently sixth, just one point off fifth-placed Valencia and level on points with seventh-placed Malaga, provisionally sitting sixth on goal difference. If Villarreal can beat Atletico Madrid away and pick up the "unexpected" three points, while Valencia can't win, they will overtake them and take their place in fifth.

So Villarreal fans will be hoping that this goal will get the game off to a good start.

Until the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid could not equalize.

It looks as if the match will indeed play out as Villarreal fans have guessed.

But at the beginning of the second half, the situation changed.

Just one minute into the beginning, in the forty-sixth minute, Gao Zheng received a cross from Juanfran and sent the football into the goal of Atletico Madrid.

Gao Zheng and Atletico Madrid, who equalized the score, did not stop moving forward.

In the 53rd minute, Gao Zheng entered the penalty area and was about to shoot with his feet, when the Villarreal player tripped and fell to the ground, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

Raul Garcia converted the penalty to help Atletico Madrid complete the comeback.

Sixty minutes into the game, Chinese commentator He Ping and fans began to pay attention to one thing - when Simeone would let Gao Zheng off.

Let him get enough time to rest.

After all, in the last Champions League game, Gao Zheng started the game and played the whole game.

Everyone knows that Gao Zheng's physical fitness was not good in the past, even if his physical fitness can support him for the whole game now, everyone is still worried that this kind of intensive event arrangement running back and forth will make Gao Zheng's body tired.

Physical fatigue and inability to continue the game are still light, and they are afraid that Gao Zheng will be injured in the case of physical fatigue.

However, Simone had no intention of replacing Gao Zheng at this time.

He seems to have decided to use Gao Zheng more thoroughly in the last league with Gao Zheng.

On the other hand, Gao Zheng did not have the intention of retaining his strength in the game, grinding foreign work, and forcing the head coach to replace him.

As always, he was running, shooting, passing the ball in the game.

And in the 73rd minute, he shot with his left foot and penetrated Villarreal's goal for the second time.

"High! Brace!! Now Atletico Madrid's game is stable! ”

After Raul Garcia helped Atletico Madrid to take the lead, Atletico Madrid fans were still a little apprehensive, because Villarreal was only one goal behind, and they never gave up the idea of continuing to score, and repeatedly threatened Atletico Madrid's half.

But now, Gao Zheng's goal relieved all Atletico Madrid fans.

With a two-goal lead, and Atletico Madrid's home stadium, what else can't be won in this game?

And what Chinese fans think is: Gao Zheng scored twice, Atletico Madrid basically won the game, can Gao Zheng be replaced in advance?

In the past, when they watched Gao Zheng's game, they all wished that Gao Zheng could play the whole game. Some non-Atletico Madrid fans, or non-Sampdoria fans, turned off the TV after seeing Gao Zheng go off the field, because for them, a game without Gao Zheng was nothing to watch.

But now no one has any hope that Gao Zheng will continue to stay on the court, it seems that only when Gao Zheng comes down and sits on the bench, the big stone in their hearts will fall to the ground.

However, Gao Zheng was still not replaced, and some fans began to scold Simeone.

As a result, at the eighty-one minute mark, Gao Zheng completed a hat trick.

"Hat-trick! Aha! Hat-trick! Gao scored his first hat-trick of the season in the league! Seeing Gao's excellent form, I believe that Atletico Madrid fans are not happy - because after this game, he will leave the team and go to the Asian Cup...... It's sad news for Atletico Madrid, but I think it's definitely good news for Atletico Madrid's opponents, especially the teams that Atletico Madrid will face next...... Ha! José Maria laughed.

Atletico Madrid's next league opponents are Athletic Bilbao, Levante, Barcelona and Granada.

This is the opponent that Atletico Madrid will meet when Gao Zheng finishes the group stage of the Asian Cup.

If the Chinese team accidentally qualifies from the group, then there is also Rayo Vallecano, the lucky one.

If Gao Zheng leads the Chinese team to the Asian Cup final in one go, Eibar's name will be added to the list.

And that's just the league.

There is also the Copa del Rey match - the second leg of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey is on December 18, and Gao Zheng is already in China at this time. Judging by common sense, Atletico Madrid, who are playing at home, should not have a problem knocking out Spanish League side Ospitalette.

The two legs of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey will be on January 7 and 15 next year, respectively, at this time the Asian Cup group stage is in full swing, and Gao Zheng will definitely not be able to return.

It is not yet known who will be Atletico Madrid's opponent in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.

But whoever it is, they can breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after Gao Zheng completed his hat-trick, Simeone replaced Gao Zheng with Antoine Griezmann.

It was not replaced for a long time before, but now it is changed very quickly, so that Chinese fans are a little uncomfortable......

Of course, in his press conference after the game, Simeone explained: "I wanted Gao to enjoy the applause of the fans, so I replaced him. ”

Some reporters also asked what to do after Atletico Madrid did not have Gao Zheng, Simeone said: "We are a unit. Gao is certainly important, but losing him is not the end of the world. I don't think Gao wants to worry about club games when he plays in the national team, right? He obviously wants us all the better after losing him. I'll cheer him on, I hope he does well in the Asian Cup, I hope the Chinese team does well in the Asian Cup, I wish them good luck. ”

Atletico Madrid defeated Villarreal 4-1, and Gao Zheng made one last contribution to the team before leaving.

And the Chinese fans also breathed a sigh of relief, an intact Gao Zheng who gradually watched Kang was about to return to the national team.

This makes them look forward to the next Asian Cup even more.

This is Gao Zheng's first international tournament wearing the national team jersey, and everyone hopes that Gao Zheng can bring them happiness.
