Chapter 636: Personal matters

The match between Atletico Madrid and Valencia came after Barcelona.
This game is due to prepare for the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals next week, so Simone has undergone a moderate rotation-there is no major player replacement, but a slight adjustment in a few positions.
Of course, in order to ensure victory, Gao Zheng and Griezmann also appeared in the starting lineup at the same time.
In the end, the two men successfully connected once in the game, helping Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 at home.
Two consecutive games have a small win, and the process is not easy, but it is not important.
The important thing is that Atletico Madrid have won this game and the league ranking has risen to second place!
Of course, there are reasons why Real Madrid lost the game.
But in any case, they stepped on the foot of Real Madrid, their rival in the same city, to share with Barcelona.
If this point situation continues, the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid may determine the ultimate league title.
Of course, although Real Madrid fell to third place, there is still hope for a comeback.
After all, they are only one point behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid also has the opportunity to talk directly with Barcelona. In that national derby, if Real Madrid can beat Barcelona, ​​they can still regain their first league title.
The competition for the league title became more intense at the last moment.
※※※
After playing the game against Valencia, Atletico Madrid moved to prepare for Leverkusen.
This game is very important for Atletico Madrid.
Because of the first round, they lost to Leverkusen 0:1 away.
Not only that, central defender Diego Godin got a yellow card because he knocked down the opponent player Russ Bender in the game, and the cumulative yellow card was suspended. Tiago accumulated two yellow cards directly in the game and was sent off with a red card. He will also miss the battle of life and death.
Saúl, who was injured in the match against Real Madrid, did not recover well and will not be able to participate in this game.
This game has also attracted the attention of the media of China and South Korea.
This is because Gao Zheng and Sun Xingming faced each other again after the Asian Cup-the first round of the game between both sides, Gao Zheng played, but Sun Xingming did not play.
So the second round of the game is the first meeting between the two parties in the club.
This time a lot of South Korean media rushed to Madrid to report on the game.
They surrounded Sun Xingming at the airport and wanted to hear what Sun Xingming had to say about this fight.
"Sun Jun, do you think this is the best chance to revenge in the Asian Cup?"
"After the Asian Cup, facing Gao Zheng again, are you confident of defeating him?"
...
The questions thrown by reporters at Sun Xingming are basically related to Gao Zheng and revenge.
Although it has been almost two months since the Asian Cup, the Koreans who have been eliminated by the Chinese team in the quarter-finals have always been worried about it.
After the defeat, the South Korean players returned to China and even met with boos and protests from some fans at the airport. Although the South Korean team actually played well in that game, they were only one line away from the semifinals, but as long as they lost to China, it would be an unacceptable result.
Korean football has maintained an absolute advantage over Chinese football for a long time, and many Korean fans feel that as long as they meet the Chinese team, the victory will be booked in advance, and there will be no other possibility for the result of the game.
As a result, they lost to the Chinese team. Sun Xingming, the biggest player in their team, lost to Gao Zheng.
How can Koreans swallow this breath?
It's just that after the Asian Cup, China and South Korea don't know when they want to meet again.
The World Cup Asian Qualifiers do not know if they can be grouped together.
If you can't meet again, you can't get revenge on the Chinese team, you have to hold your breath in the heart of the Koreans and torture them day and night.
As a result, when everyone didn't think of it, Gao Zheng and Sun Xingming met in the Champions League!
This chance is much smaller than the chance to meet in the national team!
Before the first round match between Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen, the South Korean media frantically hyped Sun Xingming's revenge battle and South Korea's revenge battle.
As a result, Sun Xingming did not appear in the starter.
This makes Korean fans very embarrassed.
But this time, the Korean media has received very reliable news from all sources-Sun Xingming will definitely start in the second round of the game.
After all, Leverkusen, who leads a ball, does not need to attack a lot on the road, they need a defensive counterattack.
Sun Xingming is fast and has a strong combat ability, so it is very suitable for defensive counterattack. At this time, as long as Leverkusen is playing a defensive counterattack, he will definitely choose Sun Xingming to start.
The battle of vengeance that Koreans have been waiting for for a long time can finally be staged!
Faced with the problems of these Korean journalists, Sun Xingming was very indifferent: "This is not a revenge, this is a match between clubs. One goal lead in the first round can not explain anything, and this is the home of Atletico Madrid, we have to It’s very cautious... Gao Zheng and I? He is a very good player and we have to go all out to beat him."
This disappointed South Korean reporters. Someone said to him in Korean: "Sun Jun, please rest assured, this is a news report for domestic Korean fans!"
The implication is to let Sun Xingming not have any worries and reservations, just say whatever you want, what else can you hide from your compatriots?
Sun Xingming smiled and nodded: "I know."
It seems that this is what he wants to express without reservation.
South Korean reporters finally derived his true ideas from Sun Xingming's mouth, and South Korean reporters firmly believed that Sun Xingming's words were definitely not the truth, but they had no choice but to take what Sun Xingming told them to do news reports.
They guessed right. Sun Xingming did not tell them the truth.
How could the injuries brought to him by the Asian Cup be smoothed out so easily?
He told reporters in his country that this was not a revenge.
But on the contrary, deep inside Sun Xingming, he thought this was a revenge.
In fact, the match between Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid came out as early as the UEFA Champions League round of 16 was released at the end of last year.
At that time, Sun Xingming knew that he was going to play against Gao Zheng. At that time, he was quite looking forward to it. After all, he and Gao Zheng were the best players in Asian football. He wanted to compete with Gao Zheng.
This game is simply a contest with the master.
Anyone thought that his contest with Gao Zheng was advanced to the Asian Cup.
And despite the outstanding performance of that game, he still failed to prevent the Chinese team from winning.
Especially Gao Zheng's last barb kick, when he jumped into the air and made an upside-down golden hook action, he stayed in Sun Xingming's mind for a long time.
It is hard for him to forget that scene.
The stadium lights came down from a high place and were blocked by Gao Zheng's body. The light was squeezed out at the edge of Gao Zheng's body, completely sketching the outline of his action.
At that moment, time seemed to stagnate.
He witnessed a brilliant barb kick. Later, some media said that Gao Zheng's barbball could last in the history of the Asian Cup and might become the most exciting ball in the history of the Asian Cup.
Sun Xingming had such an idea when he saw this scene.
At that moment, Gao Zheng was in the sky, he was on the ground, he was ashamed.
But shame after the game made Sun Xingming full of fighting spirit, vowed to fight Gao Zheng again, this time he will never be as unbearable as the Asian Cup.
He has been looking forward to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with Atletico Madrid.
But he suffered a slight injury in the first round, even though he insisted that he was okay again and again, he could play. Head coach Schmidt did not accept his words, but for the sake of insurance, Sun Xingming sat on the bench, depending on the situation, whether he should be allowed to play.
As a result, Leverkusen scored the goal and took the lead in the second half, and then withstood the offensive of Atletico Madrid, so Sun Xingming has always finished the game on the bench.
Although he was desperately suppressing his expression and emotions in front of the camera, he was still somewhat unhappy.
It was just that the outside world thought that he was unhappy because he was injured a bit and failed to catch up.
Only he knows the real reason.
Now, in the second round of the quarterfinals, he was completely healed, and he has performed well in the league. His status is not a problem.
Head coach Schmidt has no reason to put him on the bench anymore.
He knew that Atlético Madrid would be difficult to play at home, and he also knew that Atlético Madrid, who lost the game in the first round, would definitely try their best to attack, which is exactly in line with his characteristics. He will use speed and sharp counterattack to find Gao Zheng to get back the game.
However, he kept his mouth closed to reporters and did not say his true thoughts because he was not like turning a private duel between himself and Gao Zheng into a hype that is well known in the world.
This is a grudge between him and Gao Zheng, and has nothing to do with the country.
The national team's account, wait until the national team arena.
