Chapter 60 The Importance of Mastering a Foreign Language
“…… The evidence is conclusive, this is indeed Gao's new home in Lafinca, which he just moved in some time ago...... He threw a big party here to entertain his teammates...... Of course, moving to a new home and inviting guests over is no big deal. But this time period is too sensitive...... Gao obviously didn't take into account the mood of the Atletico Madrid fans during this time......"
"What am I talking about!" Danielle Herrera suddenly stood up and pointed to the TV that was playing and shouted to the crowd in the bar. "What do I say? I said that this Chinese just wants to make money, and he has no competition in his heart at all! Disrespectful to the fans? He doesn't even respect the team he plays! ”
This time it was different from usual, no one stood up to contradict him, everyone either stared at the TV screen silently or drank with their heads down and their wine glasses down.
Seeing this scene, Herrera was very proud: "I thought that this cunning Chinese would be exposed later, but I didn't expect him to get carried away so quickly to expose his true face!" As I said, the Chinese are here to rob us of jobs and money, don't think that he wears a competitive jersey and is a member of the athletic, he is not! He will never be the pride of the competition! I'm telling you, it won't be long before he loses his place in the team, and in a season's time, we'll be saying goodbye to him! As for where he's going to cheat next, I don't care......"
Someone finally stood up and interrupted him: "Danielle, it's too much. How can you be so sure that he will lose his place in the main team and leave after a season? ”
"Because I expected him to show his true colors, and the way he's doing it now proves it! So my predictions for the rest of him are correct! Danielle Herrera replied with her head held high, looking very confident.
"To be honest, I'm also a little unhappy that Gao is partying at this time, but I still think you're saying it too absolutely, Danielle. As for what will happen next, shouldn't we look at his next performance before making conclusions? The fan who refuted Herrera shook his head.
Herrera looked around and saw that the people in the bar were just looking at them, but no one was saying anything for or against.
This reminded him of the first time he was here against Gao Zheng.
This group of stubborn guys really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin!
"It doesn't matter, folks, time will tell, facts will prove that I am right, let's see you then, then you will understand me!" Herrera angrily threw down the sentence and walked out of the bar.
Behind him, the silent fans turned their heads to look at the TV screen, and the guests and hosts in the show were still chatting about whether Gao Zheng did not respect the Atletico Madrid fans and the Atletico Madrid team enough.

When Gao Zheng's car, which he called his agent Viviano, came out of the Mahada Honda training base, he was surrounded by reporters.
Everyone wanted to hear what he had to say about the party.
"I think it's normal and I can't understand why the media reacted so much." Gao Zheng's first sentence surprised everyone present.
Generally speaking, in the face of this kind of criticism, players will be more cowardly, saying some nice words, indicating that they are definitely not what the media says.
Arguing with the media doesn't do any good, but it puts yourself in a bigger spiral of trouble. After all, the players' lip service is far inferior to that of media reporters.
Therefore, in the long-term relationship with the media, the players have summed up a set of lessons, that is, in the face of media criticism, if it is not too big, then say some scenes and forget about it.
What I am most afraid of is that a small thing will be made bigger and bigger.
However, these Spanish media reporters were so surprised, apparently because they were not very familiar with Gao Zheng.
Maybe other players will be easier to talk to the media and will consider not causing trouble, but Gao Zheng is not a person who is afraid of trouble......
He was known in Italy for his positive relations with the media, but now it seems that his "notoriety" in the Italian media has not yet fully spread to the Spanish media circles.
"Players are human beings, shouldn't they enjoy a normal life?" Gao Zheng asked rhetorically.
Gao Zheng's "very uncooperative" attitude seemed to anger reporters, and someone asked: "The problem is that the team is now in trouble, losing the Champions League group stage, and not winning the league at home...... In such a situation, don't you think it's too cold-blooded to talk about enjoying life? ”
"So after the team loses, the players should go on a hunger strike for a day to apologize?"
Gao Zheng's rhetorical question was very unexpected by the other party, and he retorted: "I didn't mean that......"
"So what do you mean? When we have a party after we win, do you criticize us for getting carried away? It's a long season and there's no guarantee that we'll be able to win all the time, perform well all the time, and there won't be any ups and downs in form. The most important thing for players in this long season is to learn to self-regulate, not to be proud when they win, and not to be discouraged when they lose – isn't that normal? Is this difficult to understand? Gao Zheng asked rhetorically, "I admit that the current situation may be unfavorable, so it is more important for everyone to relax and not always fall into those negative emotions, only in this way can we regain our strength and welcome victory." That's why I'm calling everyone to my house to play – I'm moving, and that's a good excuse – is there anything wrong with that? I think players are human beings, and they also have emotions to vent and they need to relax when they are tired. You all know that you are tired from work, and you know how to relax and solve problems when you encounter difficulties, how can you put it on the players? ”
"I didn't want to offend anyone because I didn't think it was a big deal to go two games without a win. It's definitely not something that happens once in a season, and when you look back at the whole season, you can see how insignificant the two games you were worried about today were. Also there is a problem to solve the problem, but the place to solve the problem is on the field, not in my yard. ”
After speaking, Gao Zheng motioned for Viviano to drive away, so that he didn't give those reporters a chance to ask questions, anyway, he should have said that he had finished speaking.
"Sure enough, how important it is to learn a foreign language!" In the car, Gao Zheng sighed and said to Viviano, the reporter who was scolded in front of him was speechless, and he felt very happy.
"I don't think people who want you to speak Spanish as soon as possible are definitely not trying to get you into a fight with reporters...... Viviano complained.
"It's not a quarrel, Andrey. I simply educated the reporter and told them not to make a big fuss. ”
Viviano pouted, but he also felt in his heart that the Spanish media reporters were making too much of a fuss, as if they had been looking for an opportunity to make a big deal about it, but there was no good opportunity, so he could only just grab this and fry it big.
After being silent for a while, Viviano reminded Gao Zheng: "But Gao Zheng, after you say these words, you have to show a decent performance, otherwise those reporters with magnifying glasses will be waiting to find fault with you." ”
"I know, Andrey, I'm not going to let them get their way."
Gao Zheng lowered his head and swiped his mobile phone and replied in a casual tone.
