Chapter 284: The First Person After Mero?

In fact, there is no suspense in this match between Atletico Madrid and Espanyol.

The difference in quality between the two teams is too great, and this game is still at the home of Atletico Madrid.

With the pressure that Barcelona is putting on Atletico Madrid now, how can Atletico Madrid be negligent at home?

So just three minutes into the opening game, Gao Zheng received a pass from Oliver Torres and sent the football into the Espanyol goal!

"Oooh! High! Eleventh goal in the league! He's been in great form lately! In the face of his compatriot's team, he is also unrelenting! ”

After Gao Zheng scored a goal, the TV broadcast gave a shot on the rostrum, and Mr. Chen, the new owner of the Spaniards sitting in it, showed a helpless smile to the people around him, and then he also applauded Gao Zheng's goal.

However, Cerezo, the president of Atletico Madrid next to him, did not seem to be as excited as this Mr. Chen, with a reserved smile on his face, and only slightly slapped his palm twice, and did not get up from his seat and raise his arms and shout.

At this time, no one will accuse the owner of RCD Espanyol for not having a clear position, after all, he and Gao Zheng are compatriots, and it is not a shame to applaud the wonderful performance of his compatriots, which just shows that Mr. Chen is a gentlemanly person.

And under the background of Mr. Chen's gentlemanly demeanor, Cerezo is even more humble.

※※※

After Gao Zheng helped Atletico Madrid take the lead in the third minute, Atletico Madrid played more and more smoothly, and the Spaniards could only use fouls to stop Atletico Madrid's attack in the face of such a fierce attack.

But that's not enough.

In the 57th minute, Griezmann received an assist from Gao Zheng and rewrote the score to 2:0.

The cooperation between the two people is becoming more and more tacit.

The media said that Real Madrid has the BBC's attacking combination, Barcelona has MSN, and Atletico Madrid has GG combination.

Although the name doesn't sound very auspicious, as if Atletico Madrid will raise their hands in surrender as soon as they hit GG, in fact, as soon as Atletico Madrid hit GG, it was the opponent's turn to raise their hands and surrender.

This GG combination is to make the opponent's GG.

For Chinese fans, they gave the GG group a more acceptable explanation to the Chinese: "brother group", which means to make the opponent call "brother".

The "brother combination" showed its might again in the 86th minute, Gao Zheng and Griezmann cooperated continuously in front of the Espanyol penalty area, and finally Griezmann plugged in, Gao Zheng stepped forward to receive the ball and shot directly, and the football caught the Espanyol goalkeeper Lopez off guard.

The football flew into the goal for the third time, and Gao Zheng also scored twice.

"High! Twelfth goal! He is in hot pursuit of Neymar and Suarez in the league scorers' charts! ”

As of this round of the league, Gao Zheng has scored 12 goals, Neymar has scored 14 goals, and Suarez has scored 13 goals, and the three of them form the top three scorers in the league.

Cristiano Ronaldo was dumbfounded after scoring five goals in one game. He has only scored nine league goals so far, and has even been overtaken by Bilbao striker Aduris in the scorers' charts.

A third of the way through the season, it now looks like the Portuguese could be dropped out in the race for the league goalscorer's charts.

For Chinese fans, on the basis of Atletico Madrid's collective honor, they may be more concerned about Gao Zheng's individual honors.

This honor is certainly not the Ballon d'Or, and at a time when Messi has already won four Ballon d'Or, this award may be monopolized by the Argentine for a long time.

Chinese fans hope that Gao Zheng can at least win a league golden boot.

When Gao Zheng was in Serie A, this was a league known for its defense, and the number of goals scored by the Golden Boot winners every season was pitiful. As a result, Gao Zheng broke the single-season goal record in Serie A history in one go, and was the top scorer in the world's most defended league for two consecutive games.

However, after coming to La Liga, he continued his good scoring form in Serie A last season, scoring 40 league goals, only to be unable to get the top scorer in La Liga.

Last season's top scorer belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo.

But in fact, Messi and Ronaldo have basically been in a state of hanging over the years. Others are occasionally open, they are daily open.

The two of them took turns breaking various records, pushing the previous record that everyone thought was incredible to new heights.

And now everyone takes these records for granted, and they should be at this height, but they feel that the previous records are too much to see......

For example, the original bomber Gerd Muller scored 85 goals a year, which is considered a great record that has never been seen before or since, and the result was broken by Messi in 2012, Messi scored 91 goals in that year, almost breaking 100 goals......

In the past, the Ballon d'Or was the highest honor for a player, and it was extremely difficult to get one, and if you can get one, you are the first person in world football. As a result, Messi won four in a row and won a quadruple championship in a row, which immediately dwarfed the other players who tried their best to win a Ballon d'Or......

Speaking of scoring more than 50 goals in a single season, Cristiano Ronaldo has done it for five consecutive seasons, and people seem to be getting used to it, thinking that it is a common thing to score more than 50 goals in a single season.

But only eleven people in the history of the four major leagues of the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A have ever accomplished this great achievement.

And most of them are the ancient gods who are very far away: Wixon, Hans Birnt, Otmar, Marcos, Werner, Bainbrick, Dixideon, each of whom has completed a 50-goal performance in a single season.

And only from 1949 to the present, more than 60 years have passed, and only four people have achieved this achievement.

Gerd Müller has achieved this twice.

Next up is Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi did this in the 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013 and 2014-2015 seasons.

Cristiano Ronaldo is even more terrifying, starting with the 2010-2011 season, and has scored more than 50 goals in a single season for five consecutive seasons.

The fact that two of the best in football today have done this shows how difficult it is to score more than 50 goals in a single season.

But Gao Zheng did it.

And for two seasons in a row.

In his final season at Sampdoria in 2013-2014, he scored 33 goals in the league, 10 in the Champions League and eight in the Coppa Italia, adding to the five goals he scored for the national team, bringing him to a total of 56 goals.

He then moved to Atletico Madrid, where he scored 40 goals in the league, 11 in the Champions League, 1 in the Copa del Rey, 3 in the Spanish Super Cup, and 55 in club competitions, more than 50. Add to that the 22 goals of the national team, and his tally in a single season is a staggering 78.

At that time, there were also Chinese media who were blindly excited, thinking that Gao Zheng had broken the single-season goal record that Messi had just set for a short time, and hyped up the report, which attracted a group of melon-eating people in China who did not know the truth to follow the blind **, boiling chaotically, and all kinds of boasting about Gao Zheng as the world's first person or something.

Messi scored 73 goals in the 2011-2012 season, breaking Gerd Muller's record of 67 goals in a single season, which actually does not include goals in national team matches, only goals in club competitions.

Messi scored 50 goals in the league that season and another 23 in European competition and the Copa del Rey for a combined 73.

Gao Zheng's number of goals in club competitions is only fifty-five, so it is not enough to break Messi's record.

Although it did not break the record, in today's football, in addition to Messi and Ronaldo, there is a third person who can achieve more than 50 goals in a single season, and it is not a flash in the pan of one season, but two consecutive seasons.

This is enough to explain the problem, in the era when Messi and Ronaldo dominated world football and were known as the "peerless double pride", everyone never stopped looking for the first person after Melo.

Many players have been compared to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, such as Ibrahimovic and Neymar......

But it turns out that none of them can be compared with the "peerless double pride".

And now, Gao Zheng's birth has brought a touch of heartbeat to these people.

Could it be that this Chinese kid can challenge the status of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?
