Gao Zheng had just arrived in Madrid, and it was the agent Viviano who picked him up, and in the car, Viviano told Gao Zheng that the house was almost over, and the real estate agent had finalized several high-quality houses for them, which they could see at any time.

"There's no rush for this, I'll talk about it after the game against Real Madrid." Gao Zheng waved his hand.

Although Perrin advised him to settle in as soon as possible, looking for a house was really nothing compared to the Madrid derby.

Viviano nodded, not insisting on her opinion, but asked, "How does your body feel?" ”

"I'm a little tired." Gao Zheng yawned, "Go back and take a bath, and then sleep well, I think it should be much better." ”

"Can you still fall asleep?"

"I didn't sleep on the plane, and I started jet lag early." It was 7 a.m. when I took off from Beijing, and the flight time plus the time of the transfer in Dubai was a total of 20 hours. Now at half past eight in the evening local time in Madrid, there is a six-hour time difference with Beijing, and it is already half past two in the morning on the 11th in Beijing.

But if Gao Zheng had slept on the plane, it would have been difficult to fall asleep at this time.

In order to make the journey more comfortable, most people on the plane will choose to sleep, especially in the first class, put the seat flat, make a bed, turn off the lights, and sleep directly on the back, just like at home, it is easier to fall asleep.

But in order to avoid jet lag, Gao Zheng was stunned and didn't sleep for twenty hours.

And he had to keep stopping, because half past eight in the evening in Spain was not too late, and he had to wait until after ten o'clock to go to bed, and going to bed too early would still affect the effect of jet lag.

So although Gao Zheng is yawning all day now, he still can't sleep.

"Let's go to dinner first." Viviano said.

"Okay, you arrange."

The two have been chatting since then, which is what Viviano did to prevent Gao Zheng from falling asleep in the car.

Gao Zheng also knew Viviano's purpose for doing this, so he kept talking to Viviano with a strong spirit.

"What was your impression of the new manager when you met him?"

"It's okay, I feel a little stubborn."

"How?"

"I heard that in the first training camp after he coached the national team, he didn't recruit anyone over the age of 30. The team's performance in the warm-up game was not good, and many people were calling for him to recall the veterans, but I still haven't seen a midfield core like Zheng Zhi return to the national team this time. ”

"And what do you think of his future as coach of the national team?"

"I don't know ...... this"

"Isn't it just good grades?"

"Good results are not the only criterion, Chinese football is more complicated, Andre. And to be honest, I've always felt that Perrin was just a stopgap measure, and he must not be the best candidate in the heart of the Football Association. It's just that when I was about to lead the team to play the Asian Cup, I really couldn't find a better coach candidate, so I couldn't continue to let Fu Bo lead the team to play the Asian Cup, right? So I found Pei Lan......" Gao Zheng yawned again. "But it doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter who you play under, just play well, as for other things, I don't care."

"Again, you just need to play well, and playing well is more important than anything else......"

The next day, many media reporters in Madrid met Gao Zheng on the training ground.

With his trademark smile on his face, he greeted his teammates.

Seeing Gao Zheng like this, those reporters who supported Atletico Madrid breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Gao Zheng is in good condition, Atletico Madrid still has hope to fight with Real Madrid in the away game.

Although Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid in the previous Spanish Super Cup to win the championship, in the first leg of the away game, Atletico Madrid only drew 1-1 with Real Madrid, and they still have not beaten Real Madrid at the Bernabeu except for last season's league game.

Moreover, the Spanish Super Cup is the Spanish Super Cup, the league is the league, and the teams attach different importance to the two competitions.

Having beaten Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup cannot be said to have beaten Real Madrid in the league, let alone the home stadium of Real Madrid this time.

If Gao Zheng is injured in the national team or in poor physical condition, then Atletico Madrid's supporters will have to worry about it.

Because most of the players have participated in the matches of their respective national teams and are in different physical conditions, Simeone's training during the two days mainly focused on physical recovery training and set-piece tactical training.

Anyway, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have been fighting each other for so many years, and they have long been the people who are most familiar with each other, and there is no need to study the opponent and do targeted training.

When the time comes, just go straight to the field.

When the players of the two sides met again at the Bernabeu Stadium, Gao Zheng did not say anything like "I'm going to beat you" when shaking hands with Cristiano Ronaldo this time.

He, like everyone else, just touched Ronaldo's hand when he shook his hand, then let go and left.

This made Cristiano Ronaldo a little surprised - he thought that Gao Zheng would come to provoke him.

The Portuguese, who turned his head to look at Gao Zheng's back, fell into deep thought.

Does this kid think that the last time he beat Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, even if he beat me?

Although Ronaldo still doesn't think Gao Zheng is qualified to be his opponent, he feels that he must teach this young man who doesn't know the height of the sky and make him polite and respectful to himself.

You think you can beat me in one game?

Wait and see, boy!

However, Cristiano Ronaldo may have thought a little too much, Gao Zheng didn't say that to him, not because Gao Zheng felt that he had defeated a strong opponent in one game, but because he felt that there was no need to say it every time they met, and they met once and expressed their attitude towards him, just declare war on the line, you can't declare war every time you meet, right? That's stupid.

"The game is about to start and it was at this stadium last season that Simeone's side beat Real Madrid, which was the first time since 1999 that Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu...... Real Madrid have lost just once in their last 25 league meetings, with 17 wins and seven draws in the remaining 24 games...... There are a total of 154 league meetings in the Madrid derby, and Real Madrid has an absolute advantage of 85 wins, 33 draws and 36 losses, including 52 wins, 12 draws and 13 losses at their home stadium, and the home advantage is so huge. And there is another statistic that may give Real Madrid fans some consolation: it is that Real Madrid has never lost to Atletico Madrid in two consecutive seasons on their home turf in history...... Yes, Real Madrid have only lost thirteen games at the Bernabeu, not once losing two in a row. So will this give Real Madrid fans a little bit of confidence? ”

Before the game even started, José Maria was talking at great speed about the basic background.

The same situation is happening in the studio in Beijing, China, thousands of miles away, and the commentator He Ping is also giving fans a vaccination when introducing the background information:

“…… Real Madrid got off to a bit of a bad start to the league with just one win in two games. This background also means that for Carlo Ancelotti, he cannot afford to lose this local derby......"

His commentary partner, commentator guest Xu Yang, used a gag to comfort Chinese fans in advance: "It's okay, as long as Gao Zheng can score goals, it will be considered a complete task!" ”

Then the two of them laughed at the same time, and the studio was filled with a pretended relaxed atmosphere.
