"In the just-concluded Ramón Carranza Cup, Atletico Madrid won one and lost one and missed out on the title. All the warm-up matches of Atletico Madrid have come to an end this time and in these warm-up matches they have exposed some problems, some minor ones, but some problems that cannot be ignored......"

"Atletico Madrid have spent 100 million euros this season to rebuild their forward line, but from these warm-up games, the results have not been good. In these games, Atletico Madrid have only scored two goals at most, more often than not they have scored a goal, or not a goal. This is clearly not a good performance for a striker who is worth 100 million euros......"

“…… That's why I think there is a strong commercial element to Gao's joining, because Gao is not suitable for Atletico Madrid's tactics at all...... Why do I say that? Have you ever noticed how many attacking routines Atletico Madrid used to get the ball on the wings and let the center forward grab points in the box last season? Atletico Madrid have a lot of use on the wings, not just Diego Costa or David Villa, they are both normal strikers, so they can use these wide crosses to score goals......"

"Notice why I say that Diego Costa and David Villa are normal strikers, and what corresponds to that? Of course it's not a normal striker! Who is an abnormal striker, in my opinion, Gao is a typical abnormal striker. Although he was able to score 33 league goals and win the European Golden Boot last season with Sampdoria, it was an abnormal team...... Why do I say it's not normal? Because the meaning of the existence of Sampdoria is to serve Gao alone, the whole team from staffing to tactical design is to give full play to Gao's strengths and avoid highlighting his weaknesses...... Is there anything wrong with that? There is nothing wrong with Sampdoria, they are weak overall and need to rely on high. If Gao is not good at heading, then try not to pass more than the height of Gao's head......"

"As a centre-forward, is there anyone who's so bad at heading like Gao? We took a closer look at the 114 goals scored by Sampdoria and none of them were headers! Can you imagine, readers? A high school striker with a height of 1.9 meters, but he can't head the ball! Of course, it doesn't mean that every striker above 1.9 meters tall has to be good at heading, but not being good at all and not being good at it are two different concepts. Even if the normal striker's header is bad, it will not be said that there is no header, and Gao Zheng has none, not only does he not score with a header, he has no record of passing and controlling the ball with a header, yes, there is none! That's why I would say that Gao is an abnormal striker...... What happens when an abnormal striker arrives on a normal team? In the wrong box. Yes, Atletico Madrid's tactics that succeeded last season were very mature, and Gao Lai broke that instability, he is not a tactic that suits Atletico Madrid, and he is not the striker that Atletico Madrid needs. So why did Simeone allow such a striker to come to his team and break the original mature and stable tactical structure? There is only one reason, and that is that there is capital from China behind this transfer deal......"

“…… We're not saying it's worth 75 million, we just think it's not worth the price for Atletico Madrid. He shouldn't have chosen Atletico Madrid...... Of course, for Chinese fans, their idol players will be happy to join a big club like Atletico Madrid, and the worth of 75 million euros can greatly satisfy their vanity. But after the initial excitement and vanity, they may have to endure the bitterness of endless ridicule......"

- "Daily Sports" article "Gao Zheng is an abnormal striker".

In practice, when Koke hoisted the ball into the box with a cross from a 45-degree angle, Gao Zheng in the box jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal.

In terms of posture, it was a beautiful header to the top.

Goalkeeper Oblak has moved into position and is ready to go.

But Gao Zheng didn't reach football.

The ball was headed out by Godin before he did.

After landing on the ground, Godin looked up to the sky excitedly and roared, and Gao Zheng, who was next to him, pushed him: "Hey! ”

The others burst into laughter when they saw this.

They all know too well how much Godin is upset about letting Gao Zheng score three goals on him.

After that match, although the team survived and won against Sampdoria, Godin was not happy at all.

Gao Zheng's transfer to Atletico Madrid, it can be said that the happiest person is the second "Diego" - Diego Godin, in addition to head coach Diego Simeone. Because Godin can fight Gao Zheng in training, for Godin, this is his chance to "take revenge".

Ortega, a fitness coach on the sidelines, said to Simeone: "If I hadn't seen the high-powered goals in training, I would have believed the Daily Sports article......

"Compared to the legs, the high header is really much worse." Simeone said with a shrug. "But it's not as bad as they say. Know that the reference is his foot technique. But I wish those people thought so, and it wasn't us who were unlucky anyway. ”

Gao Zheng received a pass from a teammate with his back to Godin, and then he turned directly and volleyed, catching Godin off guard, and Oblak couldn't save the ball and let the ball fly into the goal.

After the goal, Gao Zheng smiled and spread his hands to Godin, but Godin had no temper at all.

The others laughed at this.

In everyone's joke, Godin rolled his eyes: "If you have the ability, you can try it!" ”

The others smiled and waved their hands repeatedly: "Don't guard against it, we're not central defenders!" ”

Godin glared at Cork again: "Next time you pass him a high ball!" ”

Cork spread his hands: "Diego, Gao and I are on the same team......"

"Oh, help him practice his header, you see his header is bad. It is precisely because you need to practice more with a good central defender like me that you can grow! ”

Others exposed his lies: "Diego, you just want to take revenge, right?" ”

Godin pursed his lips, then saw Xu Xin next to Gao Zheng, and hurriedly pointed at him and shouted, "Don't translate for him!" ”

Then he added, "It's so that he can learn Spanish as quickly as possible!" ”

Everyone laughed even more.

"Look, 'Professor', take 10,000 steps back and say, 'With such feet, what kind of header do you need?'" Simeone said, pointing to a scene on the field.

"...... "Daily Sports" article may seem scary, but it does make sense. Gao really can't head the ball. What do you think of this article? ”

"Makes sense, fart! Daily Sports is a well-known toilet paper-level media! Do you know what 'toilet paper grade' is? It's just worthy of wiping your ass! ”

"This respondent has a big tone, and Barcelona's mouthpiece is being used to wipe his ass? I'm afraid it's not a yellow dog, right? ”

"Yellow dog, your sister! Not being able to head the ball equals being an abnormal striker? Gao Zheng also scored more than 100 goals without heading, what's the matter, dissatisfied? Don't accept death! ”

"The answer is too arrogant, isn't it right for people to objectively point out Gao Zheng's problem? A fan like you will only give Gao Zheng the illusion that he is invincible in the world, which is not good for his growth! ”

"I'm sorry, as a fan of Gao Zheng, I'll be fair - Gao Zheng is crazy or not, it really has nothing to do with us fans......"

"Objectively speaking, I think Gao Zheng's inability to head the ball is indeed a trouble, but it is not a big trouble, with amazing feet, not being able to head the ball is not a fatal weakness. Barcelona this media exaggerated......"

……

The statement in the article "Daily Sports" was quickly spread on the Internet, and some people felt that this media was right, heading is indeed Gao Zheng's biggest weakness, and everyone knows it. And Atletico Madrid does pay attention to the tactics of two wings. Most of their two full-backs will go straight to the striker when they receive the ball, the first is Diego Costa, the second is David Villa or Raul Garcia, which is the standard back-and-back point grab, and then Koke and Turan will judge whether to rush into the box and try to pick up the leak.

Atletico Madrid's third goal in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, Alda Turan seized the opportunity to score.

Gao Zheng is not good at heading, and it is really difficult to survive in the tactical system of Atletico Madrid.

There are also criticisms that Chinese fans are overly optimistic about Gao Zheng's move to Atletico Madrid, and the reality is far more difficult than they think. They also criticized the optimism of Chinese fans for misleading Gao Zheng and affecting his performance at Atletico Madrid, making Gao Zheng mistakenly underestimate the difficulties he faces in the new environment.

The critics have even gone so far as to say that if Gao Zheng fails at Atletico Madrid, optimistic Chinese fans will also need to be held accountable.

Opponents of Daily Sports argue that Daily Sports is a notoriously "toilet paper" media outlet and don't believe a word they say. When Gao Zheng was in Sampdoria, in Serie A, which is known for its defense, he was able to score more than 30 goals per season without relying on headers.

And Atletico Madrid coach Simeone's good impression of Gao Zheng has been known to the world since the two sides met last season, when everyone doubted whether Simeone was the manager of Atletico Madrid or Sampdoria. The head coach who admires Gao Zheng so much, will he think that Gao Zheng's coming to his team is just a business act?

For a foreign media report, domestic fans quarreled again, but this quarrel is still out of everyone's concern for Gao Zheng, who doesn't care if you are dead or alive?

Because you care, you care about it.
