Chapter 31: Eighty-one Seconds Opening

With the referee's whistle, the previously quiet Calderón Stadium erupted in loud cheers.

In the cheers, Gao Zheng kicked the football to Griezmann, and Griezmann kicked the football back to the backcourt.

The football just went all the way back to the feet of goalkeeper Moya.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, used a pressing approach, taking the initiative to rush forward and press, and the overall formation continued to pretend.

Even when the football reached the feet of the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, they didn't stop there. Benzema rushed to Moya first, intending to interfere and force him to make a mistake.

Moya naturally knew the other party's careful thinking, he didn't give Benzema a chance to get close to him, and kicked the football to the front court with a big kick very cleanly.

Of course, it's hard to form an effective attack, but it's better than having the opponent cut off the ball in front of goal, right?

The ball flew to Griezmann in the frontcourt.

The Frenchman observed the direction where Gao Zheng was, and then jumped on the spot to fight for the top.

He intends to repeat his old tricks with Gao Zheng, using the simplest way to threaten Real Madrid's goal.

This time, though, he didn't get the ball.

Although he didn't hit the ball, under his interference, Varane behind him hit the football, but he didn't top it well. It was supposed to push the football back, but in the end it turned into an almost straight header, and it was not far from the sky.

Seeing this, Gao Zheng rushed forward with an arrow step and jumped up towards the landing point of the football.

His reaction was very fast, so that Sergio Ramos next to him didn't react, he jumped up when he saw Gao Zheng jumping, but both the landing point and the timing were lost.

Gao Zheng, who jumped high, watched the football fly over, and it was not impossible for the ball to stop with his chest, but Gao Zheng always felt that it was meaningless - if he stopped the football and the opponent's defense line was arranged, everything had to be done all over again. And now it's obviously a chance to play a fast break.

Because Real Madrid's backline has not yet been formed, Varane was pulled out, Ramos was defending himself again, and there was a huge gap in front of the penalty arc in the penalty area, and the left wing-back Coentrão had just pressed in front and had not had time to return to the defense.

If he can pass the football directly to this space, wouldn't that give Griezmann a golden opportunity?

The question is how to transmit it?

In this case it is impossible to use the feet, there is only one way, and that is to ...... Header Ball!

So Gao Zheng grabbed ahead of Ramos, pushed his waist up, tilted his head back, and rubbed the falling football.

The ball changed course slightly and flew into the open space behind him and Ramos!

Griezmann, who finished the ball, was still looking for the football, but when he saw the football in the air, Gao Zheng and Ramos were competing for the top, and at the same time, there was a huge gap between himself and the goal, and he tried to insert it forward in the instinct of a striker. At this moment, the football was pushed over by Gao Zheng and fell into the empty space in front of him!

"High header ferry, Atletico Madrid's chances ——!" José Maria is introducing the starting line-ups of both sides, and the focus is that Cristiano Ronaldo did not play on the Real Madrid side and sat on the bench in today's game, indicating that his injury is not completely healed, but he should not miss the whole season.

As a result, before he finished the introduction, he suddenly interrupted the original broadcast, and roared like thunder on the ground.

The boy sitting on the roof heard the narrator Maria shout, and his whole body tensed.

Griezmann cut in, Coentrão chased back at high speed, and Raphael Varane was behind him...... still let him grab the landing point! Shot! Griezmann decisively shoots with his feet! The ball is in!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! ”

José Maria ended his previous series of machine-gun-like quick narrations with a long-druffled roar.

The boy also reflexively jumped up, raised his arms and shouted, and the radio was held in his hand and held to the sky.

The deafening cheers of Calderón Stadium are pouring out of the small box.

The young man also followed the sky and shouted: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! ”

※※※

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Griezmann! Griezmann! He scored his first competitive goal in Atletico Madrid! And the game has just started eighty-one seconds! This goal caught Real Madrid off guard, and maybe the Real Madrid players haven't gotten into the rhythm of the game yet......"

At the Calderón Stadium, Griezmann ran to Gao Zheng after scoring a goal: "That's not the plan!" ”

He said that he did it again, he passed the ball to Gao Zheng and let Gao Zheng shoot, but he didn't expect that in the end, it became Gao Zheng who passed the ball to him, and he came to score.

Gao Zheng patted him with a smile: "It's all the same, it's all the same!" ”

Then the two of them were hugged by their elated teammates: "You two feel like you've been playing together for 10 years!" This tacit understanding! ”

They praised Gao Zheng and Griezmann for their cooperation.

In the last game, Griezmann assisted Gao Zheng to score, and in this game, Gao Zheng reciprocated and assisted Griezmann.

The performance of the two of them made the rest of the team-mates very happy, because the two strikers are newcomers to the team this season, but they can find a tacit understanding with each other so quickly, which is naturally a huge benefit for the team, and they don't have to worry about the team's attacking problems.

Simeone and the rest of the coaches on the sidelines were also very excited.

"The two of them have chemistry!"

The players and coaches of Atletico Madrid are happy for the cooperation between Gao Zheng and Griezmann, and the biggest surprise of this goal in the eyes of others is not the tacit understanding between Gao Zheng and Griezmann, but the ...... Gao Zheng actually passed the football to Griezmann with his head!

"Gao is Griezmann with a header assist!" José Maria actually wanted to start talking about Gao Zheng's header just now, but the game was still going on at that time, the situation was changing rapidly, and he didn't have time.

Now he can finally talk about Gao Zheng's header just now.

"I remember just before the Super Cup, Barcelona's Daily Sport swore that Gao couldn't head the ball, but how did Gao just finish an assist with a header?" José Maria, a commentator in the Madrid area, naturally doesn't have a good opinion of Barcelona, so he jumped at the chance to mock Daily Sport.

"Of course, this time it was only a header assist and not a header goal, but I remember that Gao did not use a header before, let alone an assist, he didn't do it even if he fought for the top...... Was this a mistake or was it intentional? If it's the former, it's not much to say, but if it's the latter, I think a lot of people should be careful......"

For example, the Daily Sports newspaper......

He added in his heart.

After Gao Zheng joined Atletico Madrid, he specially studied Gao Zheng and found that he had a bad reputation in the Italian media.

Based on this, he felt that "Daily Sports News" was chasing Gao Zheng before, and Gao Zheng couldn't be like a nobody.

So he thought darkly in his heart, maybe this header assist was specially made for the "Daily Sports" to see?

※※※

Ramos was very depressed, he just knew that Gao Zheng was not good at heading, or even heading, so he was robbed by Gao Zheng when he was defending just now. Because he felt that Gao Zheng couldn't head the ball, he would definitely wait for the football to fall a little more and use his chest to stop the ball, so he didn't go to the top for the first time, but he didn't expect Gao Zheng to jump up and head the ball and catch him off guard.

When Gao Zheng reached football, he was even a position gap from Gao Zheng, not to mention competing for the top, he couldn't even interfere a little......

He shook his fist hard, annoyed by the loss.

And beside him, his teammates were still blank, as if they hadn't accepted the reality of falling behind by a goal in the opening 81 seconds.
