Chapter 214: Cruise Missiles

When Messi shook hands, he took a special look at Gao Zheng.

At this time, he realized that Gao Zheng had been looking at him, and when he found out that he was looking over, he smiled at him.

Messi quickly looked away, he didn't think Gao Zheng was showing kindness to himself, he felt a little uncomfortable with this smile.

Looking at Messi's dodging eyes, Gao Zheng smiled even brighter.

He thinks Messi and Ronaldo are really interesting, if Cristiano Ronaldo stands in front of him, facing his gaze, he may look at himself fiercely for a while.

But Messi chose to look away, as if he was deliberately dodging.

It's a completely different personality......

But he won't think that Messi is a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch just because Messi took the initiative to look away.

Although some people say that the Spanish Super Cup is a slightly more formal "warm-up game", he will give it his all because the opponent is Barcelona who have Messi.

After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid, as the home team, got into the rhythm of the game faster.

Barcelona, on the other hand, did not seem to have recovered from the 120 minutes against Sevilla.

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen made a mistake as soon as he came up, and he didn't shoot the ball far and gave Atletico Madrid a chance......

"High!!" At the shouts of José Maria, Gao Zheng volleyed with his feet.

However, the ball he shot hit the ground and then bounced high, wasting some time, and Ter Stegen, who was pounced on, threw the ball out of the near corner.

A loud sigh erupted from the stands at Calderón Stadium.

"Ter Stegen made a mistake just now, and now he has made up for it himself...... Gao almost opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid, but unfortunately he hit the top of the football with this kick, perhaps because the opportunity came too suddenly, and he himself was a little unprepared......"

From the ensuing corner, Godin snatched the spot in front of goal and headed it just wide.

Although neither attack was goalless, everyone could see that Atletico Madrid was in good form at home, which made Atletico Madrid fans excited.

Although Atletico Madrid snatched the league title from Barcelona last season, Atletico Madrid fans will not be satisfied. They certainly hope that their side can continue to beat Barcelona and bring more glory to the club.

What's more, Barcelona, which has just won the European Super Cup, is gaining momentum, and public opinion is full of praise and praise for them, especially the Catalan media, which seems to have won the Spanish Super Cup in their words.

This made Atletico Madrid fans very unhappy.

What gave you the courage and confidence to take the Super Cup away from us last season?

Although the Spanish Super Cup is not the kind of championship with a lot of gold content, if you can beat Barcelona and win this title, the gold content will skyrocket.

In the thirteenth minute, Gao Zheng retreated to the midfield to meet his teammates, and his retreat attracted Barcelona's central defender Pique, so Gabi, who took the ball, did not pass the football to him, but directly made a long pass to Griezmann in front.

Antoine Griezmann was clever in the way and suddenly cut forward from Vermaelen's side, rushed behind him and swooped straight into the Barcelona penalty area.

However, Barcelona's goalkeeper Ter Stegen did not let him go. As a Barcelona goalkeeper, Ter Stegen has a lot of scope and he has a sense of anticipation of what is going on the pitch. After seeing Gao Zheng suddenly retreat and Pique being pulled away, he was on guard that the opponent would directly hit the back of the backline.

So after seeing Gabi pass the football, even if the football landed outside the penalty area, he did not hesitate to rush out and clear the ball before Griezmann.

This is a must-have quality for a Barcelona goalkeeper.

He did it.

"Antoine Griezmann has a chance...... Ah! Ter Stegen got his head out before he did! The football was pushed to the midfield by him! ”

Once again, sighs of regret rang out from the stands at Calderón Stadium.

But their sighs soon stopped abruptly.

Because they saw that the football that was pushed out by Ter Stegen flew straight to the area where Gao Zheng was!

A sense of anticipation welled up from the bottom of these people's hearts.

You know, Ter Stegen didn't have time to run back after the header was cleared! He's still outside the box!

"The football was pushed to the center circle, high there, he ran to the football, did not stop the ball and shot directly with his foot !!"

Gao Zheng did not stop the ball, because he knew that time was precious, and even if he delayed for one more second, he might not have a chance.

So he took a great risk and kicked the flying football directly into the goal!

At such a distance from the goal, it is very difficult to shoot even after adjusting the football, let alone shooting directly without stopping the ball.

The soccer ball he shot was not a slow lob shot, but a volley with the outside of the instep. This is even more emboldened, after all, this way of shooting will make the ball more difficult to control and less accurate.

But in order to compete with Ter Stegen for time, Gao Zheng could only do this.

With everyone watching, the football flew towards Barcelona's goal.

At the same time, Ter Stegen was running desperately towards the goal, as if he were racing against football.

Barcelona fans are hoping for a false alarm, after all, it is difficult to score a direct lob shot from such a distance, which is like a long-range three-point shot on a basketball court.

But in the process of the football flying to the goal, the hearts of many Barcelona fans fell to the bottom.

Because they saw that the ball did not fly high over the crossbar or deflect off the goal, as they had hoped, but flew straight towards the goal!

This scene is very similar to watching cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads fall from the sky from a distance, and then stab back at their base, destruction is just around the corner, but they can't do anything about it!

Ter Stegen was trying to get back on the fence, but his speed was still a cut short of the speed of the ball, and by the time he got to the penalty spot, the ball had already dropped below the crossbar, and he didn't even have to jump, he just had to raise his hand to touch the ball.

But it's a pity that at this moment, the football has flown five or six meters in front of him, and even if he jumps up with his hands raised, he can only touch the air disturbed by the football!

So he didn't even jump again, because it was in vain.

He just watched as the ball flew over his head and slammed headlong into the goal in front of him!

No one expected that in just thirteen minutes of the opening game, Atletico Madrid would take the lead with such an incredible goal!
