In the 28th round of the league, Atletico Madrid welcomed the city team Getafe at home.

In fact, this can be considered a "Madrid derby", but I'm afraid no one will really give these two games that name.

After all, there is too much difference in the strength of the two teams.

Gao Zheng returned to the starting lineup in this game, and it was with his two goals that Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe 2-0 at home.

However, this game is not a big match, even if Atletico Madrid is now temporarily at the top of the league in points.

Because everyone knows how Atletico Madrid's league first came about - in the case of the original same score, Atletico Madrid has one more game, and the points are naturally three points more than Barcelona, and it becomes the first in the league.

But there is no point in being the first in the league like this.

No one is going to talk about it.

All eyes will be on the next 'national derby' between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Although Real Madrid had fallen from the top of the league table to third place due to an accident, they were only one point behind Barcelona.

As long as they can beat Barcelona, they can not only surpass Barcelona, but also surpass Atletico Madrid, who are level on points with Barcelona. It can be described as "killing two birds with one stone".

Of course, the only problem is that this time Real Madrid is away, and Barcelona is not easy to play at home.

Many analysts before the game believed that as long as Barcelona can beat Real Madrid, Real Madrid can say goodbye to the competition for the league title.

The league title will be contested between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

But Atletico Madrid's record of three meetings with Barcelona this season is unconvincing, and their only advantage was the last time they played Barcelona at home.

But they also played Barcelona at home in the Copa del Rey, so what was the result?

Didn't you still lose?

This high-profile national derby is the final game of the league round, and the importance of this game can also be seen from this arrangement.

Nineteen minutes into the game, Messi assisted Jeremy Mathieu's header, which was Mathieu's first goal of the season, scoring the goal of Real Madrid.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo equalised for Real Madrid.

But in the 56th minute of the second half, Luis Suarez's goal gave Barcelona back the lead.

This score lasted until the end of the match.

In the end, with two goals from Luis Suarez and Mathieu, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid at home and won what could be their most important win of the season.

With these three points, Barcelona got rid of Real Madrid by as many as four points.

The result was a disappointment for Real Madrid's supporters, who felt their side were out of the league title this season.

After the game, the cameras caught a disappointed Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portuguese head down his head and walking off the pitch first, without giving an interview or greeting anyone.

Gao Zheng only learned about the outcome of the national derby when he arrived in China – after the match against Getafe, he left Madrid and returned to China, thousands of miles away.

After joining his national team, he will play two friendly matches against Haiti and Tunisia on March 27 and March 31.

These two games will be the last two warm-up matches for the Chinese team before the World Cup qualifiers.

So although it was only a warm-up match, Gao Zheng still had to return to China to participate, just to run in with the team.

Although Simeone didn't actually let Gao Zheng return to China to participate in the competition, he didn't stop it.

He knows very well how important the World Cup is for Chinese football.

With a player like Gao Zheng finally available, Chinese fans must be hoping that their national team can reach the World Cup finals.

Preparing for a game like the Asian Cup, he can also compete with the Chinese Football Association for Gao Zheng, but preparing for the World Cup, he knows very well that Gao Zheng will definitely stand on the side of the Chinese team.

However, despite Gao Zheng's help, the Chinese team did not play well in these two warm-up games.

After the Chinese team finished third in the Asian Cup, everyone's expectations for this team are high.

As a result, the Chinese team drew 2:2 with Haiti in the first game, and drew 1:1 with Tunisia in the second game.

Gao Zheng scored all three goals for China, but failed to help the team win even a single game.

After these two warm-up matches, the domestic media and fans were very dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team.

They believe that except for Gao Zheng, no one else took these two games seriously, which led to the fact that the Chinese team with Gao Zheng could not even win a team like Haiti.

Someone shouted for Gao Zheng: "I knew that his teammates had this attitude, then I don't think Gao Zheng should have come back at all, wasting time and physical strength, and playing two meaningless games!" ”

"Facts have proved that even if the Chinese team wins the third place in the Asian Cup, there is no improvement in strength, what should it be like or what ......"

"Look at Gao Zheng, aren't the other internationals ashamed!"

However, some people feel that the international players cannot be blamed for this matter, and the amateur preparation plan of the Chinese Football Association is also a big problem.

In the last two warm-up matches before the World Cup qualifiers, teams like Haiti and Tunisia were chosen as warm-up opponents, and there are any similarities between these two teams and our opponents in the Asian Cup qualifiers? How can playing against them help us prepare for the qualifiers?

There have also been criticisms that Perrin is still heavily scouting players in the last two warm-up games, which is wrong. After all, the qualifiers are about to start, and in the case of the last two warm-up games, what the Chinese team should do now is to adjust the existing lineup and find out the optimal solution of the lineup, rather than continuing to investigate the newcomers and run in the lineup.

……

However, Gao Zheng did not respond to any questions about his teammates, nor did he publicly express his dissatisfaction with the two warm-up games.

He didn't give any interviews to reporters, and after the match, he left China in a hurry and flew back to Madrid.

The club competition is getting hot and he needs to give it his all.

But at the same time, it's also a good excuse to escape from the cusp of Chinese football.

In the controversy of Chinese football, no matter what sound he makes, it is not good, so he simply keeps his mouth shut.

In addition to the league, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid meet again, the seventh meeting between the two teams this season.

Prior to that, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had met in every competition they could have met this season – the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and Copa del Rey.

Now it's the Champions League's turn.

In the Champions League, there are rivals in the same city, and in the league, Atletico Madrid also face competition with Barcelona, and it will be difficult for the defending champions to defend their title if they want to succeed. Now public opinion is more optimistic about Barcelona, and there is little mention of the defending champions.

As for the arguments and thoughts left by these two warm-up games for Chinese football, Gao Zheng didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, in fact, even if he did, it was useless. That's not something he can solve.

In the 29th round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Cordoba away.

Although he flew back to China to play two warm-up games, Gao Zheng still appeared in the starting lineup of this game.

On the one hand, Cordoba is the bottom team to be relegated, and as we all know, relegation teams have always been difficult to play.

In the final run to Barcelona for the league title, there is no room for failure.

So when Simeone played against Córdoba, which was obviously inferior to him, he still resolutely let Gao Zheng start.

Gao Zheng did not live up to the manager's expectations, scoring twice in the game to help the team finally beat Cordoba away with a score of 2:0.

A day later, Real Madrid thrashed Granada 9-1 at their home stadium, a gimmick that didn't work, and they were still four points behind Atletico Madrid.

On the same day, Barcelona beat Celta Vigo 1-0 away.

Although this score can be said to be not enough to see compared to Real Madrid, whether it is 1:0 or 9:1, it is three points.

So Barcelona are still top of the league, also four points ahead of Real Madrid.

What does this four-point gap mean? That means Real Madrid will have to count on Barcelona to make two mistakes in the remaining nine league games before they have a chance to overtake.

But if a team can win the championship, how can they make two mistakes at the last minute?

The odds are too low.

And even if Barcelona did make two mistakes, the first one would be Atletico Madrid, not Real Madrid. Unless...... Atletico Madrid also made two mistakes.

The top two teams in the league have made two mistakes just to get Real Madrid to the top...... What are the odds of this?

If you think about it with your ass, you should know that it's impossible.

So although there are still nine rounds left in the league, it can basically be said that Real Madrid has bid farewell to the competition for the league title ahead of schedule.

They have exited the chat room.
