Chapter Eighty-Eight: Serious Men Are the Most Handsome
Since the league match between Atletico Madrid was immediately followed, it was certainly impossible for this talk show to affect the entire game of the players, so the recording time was put after the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.
On the night of the match, Amanda refused all activities such as party entertainment, staying at home and watching Gao Zheng's game in front of the TV.
As she said before, it's a job and she has to get to know who she's interviewing.
However, because he had just played the Champions League, Gao Zheng did not start this game at the beginning.
Atletico Madrid actually started well, with Antoine Griezmann scoring the lead in the opening ten minutes.
But then it was quickly equalized by Real Sociedad.
In the second half, Simeone hoped to strengthen the attack and finally win the opponent.
Instead, Real Sociedad scored in the 82nd minute!
"Ashireche!! Signature header! Real Sociedad takes the lead at home! ”
In the stands at the Anoeta Stadium, 22,000 Real Sociedad fans raised their arms and chanted.
Because of the strength of the opponent, even if it is a home game, Real Sociedad is not very favored in this game. And Antoine Griezmann's goal in the opening ten minutes seemed to confirm that.
As a result, Real Sociedad showed tenacity after conceding the goal and equalised five minutes later.
But the equaliser seemed to be their limit, and it was Atletico Madrid who had the upper hand in the games that followed. They can only defend as hard as they can and try not to concede a goal.
It is precisely because of this that Simeone sent Gao Zheng, hoping to break the deadlock and win the game.
As a result, Gao Zheng came on the field in the 70th minute, and before he could score for Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad scored in the 82nd minute.
The timing of the goal was very delicate, and with ten minutes left in stoppage time, it wasn't a stunner, but it wasn't much closer.
That's why when Ashreche scored, the Real Sociedad fans in the stands cheered so loudly – because they saw the hope of finally winning at home to Atletico Madrid!
Atletico Madrid, the league champion last season, has risen to the top of the league standings with a wave of three consecutive wins this season, surpassing Barcelona.
And what about Real Sociedad? Seventeenth in the season, the league has just begun, and it is about to fight for relegation. If they can win Atletico Madrid at home, it will definitely be a huge morale boost and boost for the team, and maybe Real Sociedad will also turn the tide as a result?
After the goal, Real Sociedad manager Santana also made a quick change, replacing forward Jory Castro with centre-back Ansotegui.
It's a matter of strengthening the defense and preparing to hold on to the lead.
Just after walking out of this substitution adjustment, the TV broadcast gave Gao Zheng a shot, which means that when Atletico Madrid is in trouble, someone needs to stand up.
And this person should be Gao Zheng.
It's not just the idea of the game director, it's the idea of the vast majority of people.
For example, Amanda, who was in front of the TV, sighed lightly after seeing this shot, and the whole person was interested.
Now that the team is in big trouble, as the team's top scorer, what performance can Gao Zheng show?
If Gao Zheng finally helps Atletico Madrid escape from Real Sociedad's home stadium, it will definitely form a wave of discussion after the game, and this will be a major positive for the next talk show.
She hopes that Gao Zheng can succeed, but she doesn't know if she will follow her wishes.
So she was not a fan of Atletico Madrid, but she became a little nervous.

Real Sociedad did a very good job of defending and despite Atletico Madrid's best efforts, they were unable to find the back of the net against Real Sociedad.
In this way, the game time came to the ninety-first minute.
A minute earlier, the fourth official had held up a sign on the sidelines of the pitch to tell everyone that there were three minutes of stoppage time in the game.
A regular stoppage time, because the second half of the game went smoothly overall, and there were no injuries or conflicts that interrupted the game, so it was a regular substitution. In this case, stoppage time is usually three minutes.
But such a short stoppage time means that there is not much time left for Atletico Madrid.
Real Sociedad fans began to sing and dance in the stands, both to cheer the team on and to celebrate in advance.
At this moment, Atletico Madrid made a desperate gamble and rushed away with a long pass from the back to find the player in front.
Gao Zheng jumped up at the edge of the penalty area to fight for the top, but he couldn't get the ball because he was knocked down by Real Sociedad centre-back Ansotegui, who came on later.
Outside the penalty area, about twenty-nine or thirty meters from the goal, Gao Zheng won a free kick for Atletico Madrid.
"Atletico Madrid got a well-placed free-kick, almost in front of goal!" José Maria said. "I think Atletico Madrid fans will remember how Gao helped Atletico Madrid win the Madrid derby! Yes, direct free kicks! ”
In the commentary, Gao Zheng got up from the ground, no one came to fight with him for the right to take the free kick, and the football was in front of him.
The Real Sociedad players were a little nervous.
Although it was close to the end of the game, a one-goal lead was not safe.
The foul Ansotegui was arguing with the referee, saying that Gao Zheng was faking a fall, and other Real Sociedad players also came up to help.
However, the referee did not listen to them and insisted on awarding a free-kick.
In the end, the helpless Real Sociedad players could only go to the wall.
It's all here, and there's really nothing to do but pray to God, after all, the goal rate of free kicks has never been high, even if it's a top free kick player, you can't necessarily point where to play.
If Gao Zheng's free kick is not scored, the initiative will fall back to Real Sociedad's side. With little time left, they just had to kick their feet at the back to drag the game to the end.
In other words, it could be Atletico Madrid's last attack.
Everyone was nervous, including Amanda in front of the TV, who bit her fingers nervously and didn't know it.
She watched the handsome Chinese guy on the TV screen set up the soccer ball, then got up and walked away. While waiting for the Real Sociedad players to line up the wall, he just stared at the goal in front of him with a serious expression.
This fascinated Amanda a little.
Most of the Gao Zheng she saw was smiling, but at this time, she didn't laugh at all, but the serious Gao Zheng made her feel that that sentence was really right:
Serious men are the most handsome.
This is a hundred times more handsome than the usual Gao Zheng!
José Maria's voice came from the TV: "High eyes on Real Sociedad's goal, just keep looking at ......"
It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle and signaled that Gao Zheng could kick the ball that he withdrew his gaze, looked down at the football, and then ran and got up!
At the same time that the football was kicked by him, Real Sociedad's human wall also jumped high in an attempt to block the football.
However, the ball flew far higher than they thought, flying over their heads and into the top left corner of the goal.
Real Sociedad's goalkeeper Sowi Karay only noticed the football heading to the left when it flew over the wall, and he hurriedly moved two steps to that side before jumping up and reaching for the ball.
But this distance is a blink of an eye for a football, and when the ball flies over the goal line, Sowikaray is still in the air and does not pounce!
Soccer ball hit headfirst in the net!
※※※
Amanda jumped up from the couch and cheered as the ball flew into the goal.
The television was filled with José Maria's chanting: "High! High! High!! He saved his team again! 2:2! Atletico Madrid equalized at the 92nd minute and 40th minute!! An incredible free kick! Now that I think about it, his gaze before the penalty was laser-guided, setting the course for the next free-kick! ”
After the goal, Gao Zheng ran to the corner flag area with open arms, and his teammates followed him excitedly, like a lion leading a lion pack.
Every line of his handsome face is extremely resolute. He roared like a lion king.
This young man, who has always been smiling and seems to be gentle and elegant, has such a domineering side.
This scene fascinated Amanda in front of the TV.
