Chapter 267: Going down in history
In the away dressing room at the Astana Arena, every Atletico Madrid player will quietly have their eyes on Fernando Torres.
They know what this game means for Torres.
Two hundred and seventy games, ninety-nine goals, one goal left, one game away.
When Gao Zheng walked into the locker room, he saw Torres changing clothes, he took off the jacket he was wearing when he went out to warm up just now, and changed out of the training clothes that had been wet with sweat, revealing his upper body.
When Gao Zheng saw his bare body, he couldn't help but ask: "Hi, Fernando, didn't you prepare a 100-ball commemorative shirt?" ”
Torres looked back and saw Gao Zheng, so he shook his head with a smile: "No." What if you're ready, but you don't score a goal, how embarrassing is it? And this game ...... I don't think it's necessary to prepare for this. ”
When he said "this game", he paused visibly and looked worried.
Obviously he felt that this game was too difficult, and it was not the right occasion to think about his 100 goals.
It's hard to say whether Atletico Madrid can even win this game, and if he cares about whether he can score the hundredth Atletico Madrid goal, wouldn't it be very inappropriate?
He hopes that Atletico Madrid can win this game, if not win, but not lose either. As for who scored the goal, it doesn't matter at all.
He's enjoying his time at Atletico Madrid right now, and he doesn't really care when the hundredth goal comes.
Hearing Torres say this, Gao Zheng turned his head to look at his teammates, and the teammates he was watching nodded to him.
So Gao Zheng knew that his teammates must have arranged all the preparations.
The 100-goal commemorative jersey is definitely available, and the teammates have prepared it in private. But it won't be taken out now.
Indeed, as Torres said, wouldn't it be embarrassing to be ready with great fanfare, but in the end there was only no goal?
And it wasn't their teammates who would be embarrassed at that time, it was Torres who was the most embarrassed......
So Gao Zheng no longer continued the topic of 100 goals with Torres, he returned to his cabinet, and began to change his clothes to prepare for the next official game.

When Simeone walked into the locker room from the outside, everyone seemed to feel that he had brought in a cold wind, and those close to the door couldn't help but shiver.
"There's good news." Simeone held out a finger and said to everyone. "It's heating up today! Not minus eleven degrees, but minus one degree! Do you feel warm all of a sudden? ”
No one felt warm, everyone still felt cold, and even wondered if it was really minus degrees, maybe because it was windy today. The cold wind is biting, which exacerbates the feeling of cold.
Simeone changed his expression and said with a straight face: "But I still have to remind everyone to pay attention to their movements on the field. It's a tough game and you have to be mentally prepared. ”
Meanwhile, in the dressing room in Astana, Bulgarian coach Stoilov is cheering his players on loudly.
All the tactics he can arrange for this game have been arranged, and the relevant tactics have been said I don't know how many times. There is not much time now, and it is more important to boost morale.
"Atletico Madrid is Astana's toughest foe at home, but it also means glory – you know what I'm talking about! This is not a fantasy, our opponents they flew for seven hours, almost six thousand kilometers, and there is a time difference of five times...... Think about how we didn't fit in when we went to Madrid, then they should be just like us now! Some people say that we took it for granted that we lost four goals away to Atletico Madrid, and the people who say those things should let them fly for seven hours and then go and play Atletico Madrid! ”
Every Astana player listened attentively to the manager's words, and when they heard about the prosperity, many nodded their heads in agreement.
That's not a human thing.
"And the cold air! We're used to the climate, but the Atletico Madrid players who live in warm Spain aren't...... Well, I once suggested that the home stadium should open up the roof to let in more cold air. But it was denied, and the management of the stadium felt that I was a bit unscrupulous......"
The players burst into laughter.
Due to the cold, the roof of Atletico Astana can be closed. But think about the manager's proposal to open the roof and let the cold wind blow...... It's a bit of a shame indeed.
However, Stoilov said seriously: "But I still think we should open the roof!" In order to win, you should do whatever it takes! You know, this is not a friendly match to show the good friendship between our two teams! It's a Champions League do-or-die battle! It's a race for glory! It's a race that is about to make history! Yes, gentlemen! You are about to make history in your country's football! It's the best stage! Believe me, maybe in the next 10 or 20 years, this game will still be mentioned by the people of this country from time to time, and your name will go down in history forever!! ”
Stoilov grew louder and louder the more he spoke, and by the time he uttered the last few words, he was almost roaring, and his face was flushed.
But he wasn't the only one with a flushed face, all the Astana players were crimson at this time, clenching their fists and roaring along with their manager.
Create history and keep it in the annals of history.
It really irritated these Astana players.
In fact, they all know that with their strength, it is very difficult to qualify from this group, and it is basically impossible to achieve.
But if they can beat Atletico Madrid at home, even if they don't qualify from the group at the end, they have made history and each of their names will live on in history.
The temptation is too great.
Even if they leave the warm locker room and come to the pitch, the blood is still spreading all over their bodies, so that they don't feel the cold at all.

At 11 o'clock in the evening Beijing time, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
And before that, the weather information for the race was played on the TV screen: minus one degree, wind speed of 22 kilometers per hour.
"The temperature is not very low, but it can't stand the wind......" Xiao Yingying, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed when she saw this information. I don't even want to go out in this weather, let alone play football......"
"So you're you......" Feng Shiyu next to her glanced at Xiao Yingying.
"Can a handsome guy really score goals in such cold weather?"
"He said he could." Feng Shiyu had a natural tone.
Xiao Yingying quietly grimaced beside her.
This is not married yet, there is such a tacit understanding, if you get married, then you still have to?
