Chapter 605: Miss so much

Although they were not able to reach the finals, the Chinese team still had to play one more game, the same as the team that reached the finals-three or four finals.
This also means that Gao Zheng cannot return to the club because the Chinese team has stopped in the semifinals.
The finals of the Asian Cup 3 and 4 are played on the evening of January 30, which is only one day longer than the final.
In response to this question, Simone said half-jokingly when he was asked this question: "I'm unfair for Gao. Since I have to play six games, why don't I play the finals, I want to play the third and fourth finals with the same taste. What? It doesn’t matter, just wait one more day, we all wait more often..."
The reporters present laughed, as did Simone.
The atmosphere looks relaxed.
In fact, considering the lack of Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid's performance during this period is quite good. Although they lost two games in the league, the rankings did not drop, they were still in the third, biting on Barcelona tightly-they have the same points as Barcelona, ​​and they are four points behind Real Madrid, which is ranked first.
In the final of the Kings Cup, they also did not have Gao Zheng at home 2:0, away 2:2, with a total score of 4:2 eliminated the same city rival Real Madrid.
Of course, in the first round of the quarterfinals of the King's Cup a few days ago, they lost 0:1 away to Barcelona.
But isn’t there a second round?
This press conference is the pre-match press conference of Atletico Madrid against Barcelona.
On the evening of January 28, the second round started at the Calderon Stadium. Atlético Madrid played at home and only one goal behind Barcelona. They could still reverse the game.
No wonder Simone seemed very relaxed in answering this question. The premise of Simone's answer is that someone asked him that Atletico Madrid have lost to Barcelona in the league this season. The Kings Cup quarter-finals lost again in the first round. This time facing Barcelona, ​​will he have some Miss Gao Zheng.
So Simone made the above answer, avoiding this topic half-jokingly-he had to think about Gao Zheng, what would the other Atletico Madrid players on the team think? Oh, Gao Zheng's credit for winning the ball, but losing Gao Zheng, what do we all think of?
If he wants to say that he doesn’t want Gao Zheng, I’m afraid the media will spread his remarks on the next day, and stir up his relationship with Gao Zheng-he doesn’t want to be stalemate with Gao Zheng by the media.
Gao Zheng is certainly the core of the Simone team, but Atletico Madrid is not a team. In addition to Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid has other good players.
This is where his team is completely different from Sampdoria. If Sampdoria had no Gao Zheng, it would have crashed if it didn't work out. The same is true. Sampdoria without Gao Zheng this season is only ranked 13th, compared with the two seasons with Gao Zheng. It's far away.
Berardi performed very well, but he alone could not drive Sampdoria. After all, he was not Gao Zheng, and he still had a big gap with Gao Zheng.
"...This time is our home court, we are confident to win Barcelona."
Finally Simone said so.
In the previous two games lost, Atletico Madrid challenged Barcelona away, so they lost. This time Atletico Madrid is home, and Atletico Madrid's home has always been terrible-Real Madrid, who has performed well in the league, challenged Atletico Madrid in the first round of the quarter-finals and lost 0:2.
The away game is only a 0:1 loss to Barcelona, ​​Simone is certainly confident to pull back at home.

In the second round of the match, Atlético de Madrid played really well, and as soon as they came up, they rushed.
And in the first minute, Fernando Torres scored the first goal, turning the total score to 1:1, blowing the horn of Atletico Madrid's counterattack.
Torres, the "Golden Boy" of Atletico Madrid, was loaned from AC Milan in January this year. This is also to make up for the vacancy on Atletico Madrid's front line after Gao Zheng left the team to play in the Asian Cup.
At the same time, letting wandering abroad for many years, the now unsatisfactory "Golden Boy" return, can also reflect the humanity of Atletico Madrid.
Torres did indeed perform well after returning from the loan. Since returning from the loan on January 6, he has scored two goals in the league. Now the King's Cup has also scored a goal.
However, Barcelona quickly equalized the score-in the ninth minute, Neymar helped Barcelona equalize the score 1:1, and the total score became 2:1.
At the 30th minute, Atletico Madrid broke the deadlock again. Juan Fran broke into the penalty area and caused Barcelona centre-back Javier Mascherano to foul. The referee awarded Atletico Madrid a penalty.
Raúl Garcia hit the penalty and set the total score to 2:2, but according to this score is not good for Atletico Madrid, because the total score is the same, and Barcelona has an away goal, away goal The advantage allowed them to overtake Atletico Madrid and lead in the competition to advance to the semifinals.
If they want to reverse the game, they will continue to score.
But in the 38th minute, Barcelona quickly pulled back again. This time it was Busquets' header that Atlético Madrid's central defender Miranda ran into his goal.
This oolong ball is really too morale.
But even worse is still behind. Only three minutes later, Barcelona scored another goal-Neymar received Alvar's pass and scored twice.
Barcelona scored a lead of 3:2, with a total score of 4:2.
If Atlético Madrid wants to reverse, they can't score another two goals. They have to score three goals and expect Barcelona to stop scoring next.
They have been forced into a dead end!
In the second half, Simone transferred his troops and replaced Sagres with Gülzman, who performed poorly in the first half.
And in sixty-three minutes, all three substitutions were used up.
But the offensive of Atletico Madrid has not improved.
On the contrary, the team captain Gabi was sent out for a foul by a red card in the 78th minute.
"The score is one behind, and there is one less man. Simone's home overturn plan seems to be a bubble..." The commentator Jose Maria joked, "I don't know if Simone missed the high at this time? Is it behind? In the case of Atletico Madrid, there are forty-five minutes to solve this problem, but now it seems that they have no way to break the goal of Barcelona..."
The TV broadcast seemed to be the same as the commentator Maria, and it gave Simone a close-up shot.
Diego Simeone in the close-up shot looked anxious. He whistled on the sidelines, beckoning the players to press.
However, he has quickly run out of three substitutions. After making adjustments, he now has no better way than watching the show off the field.
"By the way, Gao has scored seven goals in the Asian Cup, ranking first in the Asian Cup scorer list, and far ahead of his opponents." Maria also did not forget to make up the knife, giving the Asian Cup to the TV. Introduced by viewers who did not know and follow.
※※※
In the end, Atletico Madrid tried their best and failed to score even a goal in the second half.
They lost 2:3 to Barcelona at home and were double-killed by their opponents in the King's Cup.
Also eliminated from the King's Cup.
At the end of the game, Jose Maria quipped: "Whether Diego Simone misses Gao, but I think Atletico Madrid fans must miss Gao very much..."
Gao Zheng will have to wait until January 31st to finish the third and fourth finals against the UAE.
He will definitely miss the 21st round of the league against Eval.
But this is not important, this game is not important at all.
The important thing is that in the twenty-second round of the league on February 7th, Atletico Madrid face Real Madrid at home.
Yes, the second leg of the league's Madrid derby this season is coming.
