In the first half, the two sides went back and forth, attacking and defending each other, but in general, Atletico Madrid had the upper hand.

This advantage is not the accusatory ball rate – in fact, Atletico Madrid have a slight advantage in possession.

The advantage refers to Atletico Madrid's more dangerous shots on goal.

However, due to Buffon's excellent performance, the score was still 0:0 until the end of the first half.

When referee Bruch blew the final whistle for the first half, the television broadcast gave Buffon a close-up of him giving a thumbs up to his team-mates.

'Gianluigi Buffon was pleased with the first half's performance, and it was, and having been able to hold on to a 0-0 scoreline against the home side on the road, Buffon certainly has a hundred reasons to be happy with that. But on the other hand, when Buffon is satisfied, Gao is probably not too satisfied...... "said Caressa, the Italian commentator. Gao had three shots on goal in the first half, but none of them could break through Buffon's ten fingers. In fact, Atletico Madrid did a good job of pressing in the game, but they just couldn't break through Buffon's last hurdle......"

The TV broadcast then cut to Gao Zheng's face.

Gao Zheng was walking side by side with Griezmann on the field, and at the same time, the two of them covered their mouths with their hands, which should be communicating something.

"Atletico Madrid had the advantage, having more shots on goal than Juventus and more shots in the frame than Juventus, but they couldn't score. Maybe Simeone should think about how he can get his team to score. But if it were me, I really don't know how to adjust, after all, from the fact that Atletico Madrid has so many shots on goal, you can see that tactically is fine. The key to not scoring is that Buffon's play is too good, but if Buffon plays well, what tactics must be used to curb Buffon's play? I can't think of it anyway, and if I could, I probably wouldn't be sitting in this position anymore......"

José Maria's remarks made many Atletico Madrid fans a little upset.

Because when the team encounters a goalkeeper who has opened the hanging, how will this game be played?

There is no shortage of precedents in football for the kind of goalkeeper to bombard the opposing team for 90 minutes without success, otherwise how can there be such a thing as "a good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team"?

Many Atletico Madrid fans in the stands at the Calderón Stadium have their eyes on Buffon.

Looking at the world's top goalkeeper, with his own strength and the same state of opening, Atletico Madrid fans really have little confidence that they will be able to break through the goal he guards.

All they can do is pray to God that God will be on their side this time.

For Atletico Madrid, who lost one game in the group stage, they really need this home win.

Even if they don't lose the game in the end and play 0:0 with Juventus, it means that Atletico Madrid is behind in the battle for the first place in the group with Juventus.

※※※

At halftime, Diego Simeone did not make too many adjustments in tactics, but only fine-tuned, such as requiring Gao Zheng to run more, and frequently changing positions with a number of Atletico Madrid's attacking players, increasing the difficulty of Juventus' defense, hoping to make Juventus' defense reveal cracks, thereby dragging down Buffon.

But more than that, Simeone is inspiring his players, giving them courage and confidence.

Remember, it can never be God who stands before you, but man! As long as it is human, it is possible to make mistakes, and it can be defeated! ”

Simeone was announcing the battle mobilization to the players, and then found that when he said this, Gao Zheng, who was sitting opposite him, laughed.

So he named Gao Zheng: "Gao, what do you think?" ”

Gao Zheng stretched out his hand: "Boss, you're not right. ”

A room full of players looked at Gao Zheng strangely, when was the boss wrong? In the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone is the absolute authority.

Simeone was also interested, and he crossed his hands on his hips and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

This posture seems to imply that if Gao Zheng can't come up with a suitable explanation, he will behead Gao Zheng to sacrifice the flag......

Gao Zheng didn't care, and said calmly with a habitual smile: "Boss, for me, gods can also be defeated. ”

There was silence in the locker room for about a second, and then someone whistled and someone clapped and coaxed: "Well said, hahaha, it's really high!" ”

Simeone also smiled, pointed at Gao Zheng, and then said to the coaxing players: "That's right! God can be defeated, too! ”

Gao Zheng calmly accepted everyone's praise and recognition for him.

When he was just emerging in Italy, players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, for him, must have been god-like beings in the eyes of outsiders, something he could only look up to but could not touch at all.

But no one knew that from that time on, Gao Zheng's goal was to face the two most powerful players in the world.

He has never expressed this ideal publicly, and only said it to Feng Shiyu. Perhaps because he felt that Feng Shiyu could understand him to some extent, and if he expressed it publicly, then he would fall into endless harassment and explanation.

So beating Cristiano Ronaldo became defeating Real Madrid, and in this way, there are still many people who ridicule Gao Zheng for not knowing the sky and the height of the sky, and laughing at him for not being able to do anything.

Many people may find it difficult to understand Gao Zheng's mentality, most people face authority or more powerful figures than them, their first reaction is to kneel down and bow down, Gao Zheng, you are just a genius who is just a little famous, why do you think that you can be on an equal footing with the real king?

The players of Atletico Madrid and the head coach Diego Simeone just thought that Gao Zheng's answer was very morale-boosting, but they probably didn't expect that this was Gao Zheng's true thoughts, rather than deliberately saying nice and beautiful things in order to encourage everyone.

He genuinely felt that "even a god can be defeated."

People who have grown up in Western culture will feel that God is omnipotent and that God is not to be blasphemed. Not to mention defeating the gods? Not even offensive to the gods, not religious.

But as a person who has a flood when it comes, it cures the water; When the mountains block the door of the house, the mountains are moved; drowned in the sea, he took revenge on a stone; If there is too much sun, it will shoot down the excess; When the gods imprisoned their mothers, they split the mountains to save their mothers...... With such a Chinese man with a cultural background, Gao Zheng has no reverence for God in his heart.

So even if Buffon is a god on the goal line, so what?

God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
