Chapter 215: A little confused
"Wow!! Wow!!! Oh ho ho ho ho !! Who would have thought? Who would have thought?! José Maria exclaimed. High!! Once again, with his genius technique and ideas, he helped Atletico Madrid take the lead! When Ter Stegen came out to clear the ball, he would not have thought that this would allow him to complete the assist against Gao! It's amazing that this Spanish Super Cup kicked off in such a way! ”
José Maria's voice was loud, almost hoarse.
But it wasn't because it was too loud and he was worried that his voice would be drowned out – there were factors, but not all of them.
Today's equipment is very advanced and can direct the sound and then filter out the noise from the scene.
The reason why he was so loud was because he was emotional.
When Gao Zheng kicked the football towards the goal, a thought uncontrollably sprouted in his heart, that is, he thought that the ball would go in!
But this was only his own speculation, and he did not say it.
If you don't make it, won't you become a laughing stock?
Now he doesn't have to suppress his emotions, he can release them all.
Who can sit still in the face of such a spectacular goal?
If it weren't for the fact that he had some rules as a commentator, he would have wanted to jump right now.
At the end of last season, he said that Gao Zheng could become a figure on a par with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and some people laughed at him at night, mainly fans of Barcelona and Real Madrid, thinking that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open and shameless in order to praise Gao Zhengtian.
Yes, there are a lot of players who did well in the first season because their opponents don't know them well enough, so a lot of people are prone to shine in the first season. And as opponents pay attention to them and study them, these players often don't perform as well as they could in their second season.
There's a saying in the NBA that describes this situation very well – the "rookie wall."
So when Gao Zheng performed well last season, it was normal for some people to worry that he would hit the "rookie wall" headlong in the new season.
But looking at Gao Zheng's performance in this Spanish Super Cup, it is exactly the same as last season, and there is no intention of hitting the wall at all.
Besides, with Gao Zheng's momentum, even if there is really a wall in front of him, he can probably break it open......
Jose Maria is happy that she can continue to witness Gao Zheng's growth in the new season.
Eventually, this young man will surely grow up to be the world's top player who will stand side by side with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo without anyone feeling out of place.

After the goal, Gao Zheng did not run wildly to celebrate, he just stood in place with open arms, smiling, and calmly enjoying the cheers of Calderón Stadium.
His teammates were much more excited than he was, rushing up from all sides and hugging him.
Around him roared all sorts of things he could not understand.
But he actually understands the meaning, and he must say that he is very awesome.
He's really awesome.
Gao Zheng is never modest at this point.
Isn't it awesome to be able to pump the ball straight into the goal from midfield?
Isn't it awesome to score fifty-five goals in Atletico Madrid's first season?
Not to be able to challenge Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi?
But he's just the best, not the best.
He still has a clear understanding of this.
※※※
Gao Zheng was celebrating the goal with his teammates, while Barcelona didn't seem to have recovered from the blow of conceding the goal.
When Gao Zheng scored, many Barcelona fans in front of the TV couldn't believe that the goal was scored, and many people were still waiting for the referee to blow the ball out, or Griezmann of Atletico Madrid was offside just now.
But that didn't happen.
Referee Gonzalez pointed to the center circle, which was a clear gesture for the goal to work.
Not to mention that the fans can't believe it, they can't accept it.
Even the Barcelona players on the pitch couldn't believe that they had conceded a goal like this.
Ter Stegen stood in front of the goal with his hands on his hips, looking at the football in the goal, in a trance - he just rushed out to clear the ball with a header as usual, how did it turn into an assist instead?
The TV broadcast also gave Messi a close-up shot, in which Messi covered his mouth with one hand, but he did not hide his slightly confused eyes.
Barcelona manager Enrique shook his head on the sidelines, this goal should not be conceded, but who can he blame?
Strange Ter Stegen? As a goalkeeper, to be active as a scavenger is a tradition of Barcelona football and a requirement of him. He was right.
In the case of rushing out of the penalty area, naturally you can only use your head to clear the siege.
Blame Pique for not following Gao Zheng?
When Gabi suddenly made a long pass, Pique quickly retreated to return to his defensive area, but when he thought that the football was pushed back by Ter Stegen, it flew over his head, and he turned around again, and saw Gao Zheng's foot pumped towards the football five or six meters away......
What can he do?
I can only watch the play the whole time.
No one can complain about this lost goal, if you have to complain, you can only complain about Gao Zheng, who let him be so accurate?
Enrique even felt that if Gao Zheng was given the same opportunity, Gao Zheng might not be able to kick the football into it.
But...... He didn't want to give Gao Zheng the same chance to verify this again......
※※※
As the commentators and fans praised Gao Zheng's goal, the game restarted.
Barcelona, who had conceded the goal, were visibly impatient.
Suarez was about to rush to the baseline in order to receive a big ball from his teammates, and he caught up with the football and kicked it to Felipe Luiz, and the ball bounced off the baseline.
Felipe was going to snatch the ball back, but Suarez was holding it with open arms.
But when he opened his arms, he raised them so high that he hit Felipe in the neck with an elbow.
Felipe clutched his neck and fell to the ground, and the ball rolled off the line.
But the referee Gonzalez did not blow Suarez for a foul, which made the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene very unhappy, and the Atletico Madrid fans who were relatively close to the incident all got up from their seats, raised their middle fingers to Suarez, waved their arms, and shouted loudly.
But Suarez didn't care about the insults from the fans, he spread his hands and looked innocent.
It's just that the slow-motion of the TV broadcast clearly shows that his raised elbow hit Felipe in the neck solidly, so it should have been an elbow foul.
Even if Suarez didn't mean it, he should have been given a yellow card. If it's deliberate, it's a red card.
But the referee Gonzalez didn't say anything, and didn't even think that Suarez was a foul.
It's no wonder that Atletico Madrid fans are so excited and dissatisfied.

Although Suarez escaped the punishment that should have belonged to him, it also reflected the anxiety of Barcelona's players.
After taking the lead, Simeone adjusted his tactics, allowing Atletico Madrid to take the initiative to hand over the ball and play the team's best defensive counter-attack.
Possession was back at Barcelona's feet, which should have been the best and most comfortable way for Barcelona, but Barcelona didn't pose any threat.
Atletico Madrid's defensive counter-attack was very comfortable.
It wasn't until first-half stoppage time that Messi finally used his breakthrough to create a foul on Atletico Madrid and get a free-kick for Barcelona.
However, the free-kick he took himself was saved by Oblak.
In this way, Barcelona missed the last chance to equalize in the first half and they had to return to the dressing room with a 0-1 scoreline.
The commentator of Radio Catalunya was cheering the listeners: "We are only one goal behind, but we have 45 minutes left in the second half, we are not without chances!" ”
