Chapter Twenty-Eight: Danielle Herrera
After the goal, James Rodriguez was very excited, because his performance in the warm-up game was not very good, and he was also criticized and questioned by a lot of media, and he was under great pressure.
However, instead of running wildly to celebrate, he rushed into the goal and ran back with the football.
Real Madrid are just equalising, not leading, time is running out and now is not the time to celebrate. Celebrate until the game is over and Real Madrid wins.
James Rodriguez's goal revived the atmosphere at the Bernabeu and the Real Madrid fans cheered on their side for a comeback win in the final ten minutes.
However, when the game resumed, Real Madrid found themselves facing an impregnable wall.
Atletico Madrid recycled into their own half and put on a stubborn posture.
No matter how Real Madrid dispatches the ball, they can't tear apart Atletico Madrid's defense.
That's when they remembered that they were facing a team that was the best defensive team last season and had conceded just 26 goals.
It was such an excellent defense that allowed them to have the last laugh in the competition with the Spanish Super League duo and won the league championship.
Now Real Madrid want to break through Atletico Madrid's goal in ten minutes, which is really beautiful......
Atletico Madrid withstood Real Madrid's frantic late attacks, and when the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Atletico Madrid players who had won the draw celebrated at the Bernabeu.
Although it was only a draw, and although it was only the first leg of the two-legged Spanish Super Cup, it did not prevent the Atletico Madrid players from venting their emotions.
Since losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, they have been holding their breath in their hearts. Now we can at least get half of this evil breath out first.
The stands rang out with the boos of the Real Madrid fans, but those who heard the boos did not know if it was for Atletico Madrid or their home team, Real Madrid. After all, Real Madrid fans are notoriously demanding, and if the home team doesn't perform as well as they should, they will unceremoniously boo.

The next day, when the vast majority of Madridians leave for work, freshly baked newspapers appear in newsstands and metro stations.
Since Madrid's metro is not yet covered by 4G networks, Madrid's citizens are accustomed to buying a newspaper to pass the boring commute.
There are always people in China who pour poisonous chicken soup into people who do not know the inside story, and compare Chinese people who take the subway to read mobile phones and foreigners who take the subway to read books and newspapers, satirizing the low cultural quality of Chinese, and if they do not read, they know how to play with mobile phones.
But in fact, it is not that foreigners have high cultural quality, but that there is no 4G signal in their subway, and there is no network if they want to swipe their mobile phones, so they can only read newspapers in the city......
This comparison illustrates not the difference in the cultural quality of Chinese and foreigners, but the difference between China and foreign countries in terms of communication infrastructure.
Many people on the subway are holding the newspapers "Maca", "As", "National", "ABC", and "21st Century World...... In addition, there are some free newspapers, which are not of high style, but the content is pleasant.
And no matter what the newspaper is, there is a report on yesterday's Spanish Super Cup, and everyone pays the most attention to this.
Madrid is a city with distinct distinctions, and the rich and commercial areas in the north are the camp with the largest concentration of Real Madrid fans, with the Bernabeu Stadium as the center and radiating around. The people who live and work here are naturally Real Madrid fans because of their class.
The people who appeared there with newspapers were all concerned about Real Madrid's results, and of course the result of yesterday's game made each of them look bad.
The two-legged Spanish Super Cup is played home and away, and they thought Real Madrid would beat Atletico Madrid on their home turf and make the second leg a chicken rib.
As a result, I didn't expect Real Madrid not to beat Atletico Madrid at home, but also almost let Atletico Madrid beat it in turn - if it weren't for the new signing James Rodriguez who mistakenly scored with his right foot, which he is not good at, Real Madrid would have lost this game......
At the same time, to the south of Madrid is basically Madrid's "Old Town", or "Old Town". Because of the strict regulations of the Madrid City Government, the old buildings here have been preserved in good condition, and entering here is equivalent to entering Madrid a century ago.
The famous "China Quarter", the pirate market, is here.
Unlike the Bernabéu, which is surrounded by luxury shops and high-end restaurants, shopping malls, and office buildings, it is more of a curving narrow street with dilapidated old houses on either side of the street.
The city of Madrid Sur, made up of old neighborhoods, is the home of Atletico Madrid fans. And the Calderón Stadium is also in the middle of these dilapidated houses, as if surrounded by Atletico Madrid fans.
People here today are smiling with newspapers in hand as their side drew away to Real Madrid in last night's game and have a high win rate when they return to home for the second leg and now have a better chance of winning the Spanish Super Cup.
Every time we can beat our local rivals, it is something that Atletico Madrid fans can deserve a week of joy.
In bars, restaurants, and cafes in the south of the city...... As long as there is a place where Atletico Madrid fans gather, you can see everyone discussing the Spanish Super Cup.
"Gao's goal yesterday was beautiful! Although it cost the club 75 million, I think that with this goal, it is worth half of the transfer fee! ”
"yes, yes, what's in the newspaper?" Let the man who silence the Bernabeu'! It's so handsome! ”
"I'm full of hope for the future of the team, I really like this Chinese kid more and more!"
"I think I still booed him in the stands, but now he has become our player......"
Everyone is a little embarrassed when they talk about Gao Zheng, half a year ago, at the Calderón Stadium, they all witnessed how Gao Zheng scored a hat trick and almost dragged Atletico Madrid into the water. At that time, I am afraid that no one would have imagined that half a year later, Gao Zheng would become their player.
In the midst of the praise, some people stood up and disagreed with everyone.
"I really feel sorry for you, you are now so elated for a Chinese! Have you forgotten how they took your job and your house? A middle-aged white man with a scruffy beard and unkempt hair yelled at everyone.
"Hey, Danielle, we're talking about football, football, not politics, don't talk about your set here, right?" Someone in the crowd stood up to contradict him.
"I'm talking about football! What does it mean that the proud competition needs a Chinese player to decorate its façade? Has our football gotten this bad? Danielle Herrera said bitterly.
"Come on, Danielle. You also watched the Champions League game last season, so what was Gao's performance at that time, so I don't need to remind you again, right? Players with such performances joining our team, what's wrong? With high strength, he can play the main team in any giant team, why can't he come to us to compete? ”
"But in the end, the winner is us, and it makes sense to pay 75 million euros for a defeat of one of our men?"
"Anyway, it's not the club that pays for it, there are sponsors, what are you afraid of?"
"Well said, Manzano! I'm just scared of this! Who knows what evil intentions are hidden behind that Chinese company? They first hooked up with Athletic with a transfer fee for us, and then who knows what excesses they would ask? For example, we go to China every year to play a boring business game, or let our players show up for their Chinese companies and disrupt our own training and game plans...... In the end, they will even take their place! Become the master of the competition! I'm not alarmist, think of Birmingham in England, they are now a club for the Chinese! Someday, maybe sports will become the toy of China's rich too! Danielle Herrera made an impassioned statement, spitting all over the place.
But instead of an enthusiastic response from the other fans in the bar, the bar fell into an awkward silence as everyone looked at Danielle Herrera with a neurotic look.
After a long time, someone finally said, "Danielle, we all know that you are reluctant to leave your ancestral home. But no one forced you to sell your house to the Chinese, and you were not maliciously underpriced when you sold it to them. It was a fair deal. Your job isn't Chinese robbed of for you...... We all think that your prejudice against Chinese is unfair. ”
The others chimed in: "yes, yes." And what you said about what you said hasn't happened yet, what's the difference between you making us worry about that and worrying about the end of the world? If there is really an end of the world, then we will wait until the end of the world......"
"We think Gao is doing well, can't we sing praises for him? I don't care what nationality he is, at least he's a competitive player now! As long as he can bring championships and victories to the competition, what about the Chinese? I used to know almost nothing about China, but now I'm willing to learn about China for the sake of Gao! ”
Seeing that everyone was against him, Danielle Herrera threw down a sentence and left indignantly: "Don't be too happy! It's just a game! You can't wait to sing him a hymn now, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, you'll be dumb in a few games, so be careful of being slapped in the face! ”
Everyone looked at the back of Herrera leaving, and someone sighed: "Since losing her job, Danielle is like a different person...... What a warm and kind person he used to be. ”
"It's true that his life is a little harder after he has no job, but blaming everything on the Chinese in Ursera is still too extreme." Besides, even if Usera's Chinese is mixed and everyone has it, it has nothing to do with Gao's dime......"
"No matter what Danielle says, I'm rooting for Gao anyway!"
