Chapter 727: Be willing

Chinese fans really care about the hat-trick. It seems that without this hat-trick, the victory of Atletico Madrid is incomplete, and there are deficiencies that cannot be made up.
But Gao Zheng really didn't care, he was very happy when the team won.
This is not that he wants to pretend.
But it was not too difficult for him to score, even if he did not complete the hat trick in this game, he was confident that he would win the ternary in other games.
Only those who usually have difficulty scoring goals will pay special attention to hat tricks. After all, they really lack goals and hat tricks.
Although Gao Zheng has had only two UEFA Champions League hat tricks so far, there are countless hat tricks in the league.
He really doesn't care much about hats or hats.
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the match shortly after De De Chico scored an own goal.
Atletico Madrid defeated Astana 4:0 at home with Gao Zheng's second goal and Saúl's goal and the opponent's own goal.
In another group match, Benfica lost to Galatasaray 1:2 away.
Originally, the two teams shared the same points. In this way, Atletico Madrid scored two points with one win and seven points, occupying the top of the group. Benfica, like Galatasaray, has one win, one draw and one loss, and because he does not have an advantage in the relationship with Galatasaray, Benfica also fell to third place.
Astana, who is hard to find a victory, continues to rank at the bottom.
In the next three rounds of the group stage, Atlético Madrid will go to challenge Astana away, and will also face Galatasaray at home, and the final round will be against Benfica.
If all goes well, I am afraid that the situation before the final game against Benfica is already clear.
After this round of group matches, Atletico Madrid regained the initiative to compete for the group first.

After the UEFA Champions League group match with Astana, Atletico Madrid attracted Valencia at home.
Despite Simone's rotation adjustment in this game, Gao Zheng still appeared in the starting lineup.
Now Simone is more and more dependent on Gao Zheng, even in a week of double games, Gao Zheng will rarely be placed on the bench.
And he was occasionally arranged this way last season.
This season Simone decided to give full play to Gao Zheng's ability. Putting him on the bench is a waste, and waste is a crime.
The starter Gao Zheng did not live up to Simone's expectations. In the 32nd minute, he opened the team's first record, helping Atletico Madrid lead Valencia 1:0 at home.
In the 40th minute, Carrasco extended his lead for Atletico Madrid.
Valencia did not return a goal for Valencia by Paco Alcacer until the 72nd minute, but it was too late.
Atletico Madrid eventually defeated Valencia 2:1 at home and continued to lead the league standings.
Since losing to Villarreal 0:1 in the sixth round of the league, Atletico Madrid have maintained a three-game winning streak in the league.
However, this three-game winning streak was broken in the next match of Atletico Madrid to challenge A Coruña.
Considering that the next game is to challenge Astana away, Simone made a significant rotation of the team, and this time even Gao Zheng was put on the bench.
This is mainly because it is too difficult to challenge Astana away.
From Madrid to Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, the Atletico Madrid team needs to fly for seven hours in a row, with a total distance of 5,700 kilometers and a time difference of five hours.
These are huge challenges.
In order to ensure that his players have sufficient physical fitness and energy to deal with this UEFA Champions League group stage, Simone must make some trade-offs.
Of course, this trade-off comes at a price.
So when Atletico Madrid lost to A Coruna 0:1 away, everyone was not surprised.
Because most of the main force is not on the field.
Even for those players on the field, the mind may be seven hours of flight and 5,700 kilometers of far away away...

Atletico Madrid, who lost the match, was caught up by Real Madrid in the league standings.
Real Madrid is now only one point behind Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid 24 points, Real Madrid 23 points.
The lead has basically disappeared.
After Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid, Benitez's coaching was once unstable, but the next wave of three consecutive victories, let Real Madrid bite Atletico Madrid, and took advantage of the loss of Atletico Madrid. Coruña's opportunity succeeded in catching up.
As long as this continues, Atletico Madrid will certainly not be able to withstand the pressure of Real Madrid pressing behind.
At that time, it will be Real Madrid's chance to overtake.
As for another competitor, Barcelona, ​​currently has 21 points, ranking third and Real Madrid is two points away.
As long as Real Madrid does its own thing, there is no need to worry about Barcelona.
After winning three straight games and catching up with Atletico Madrid, Benitez's coaching seems to have stabilized again.
But in fact, there is a big test before him, that is the twelfth round of the league, Real Madrid against Barcelona's "national derby".
After losing to Atletico Madrid, neither Real Madrid nor the fans can afford to lose to Barcelona.
So don't look at Real Madrid's tie to Atletico Madrid now, but in fact for Benitez, the pressure is still great.

Gao Zheng feels that Atletico Madrid and Astana are like cowboys and weavers. They can only meet once a year across the huge galaxy, and it is not easy to see them once.
Even if there is a developed means of transportation like an airplane, it is still very painful to sit on the plane for seven hours.
When the results of the lottery just came out, many Atletico Madrid players still thought it was a good opponent because they were weak enough that they could easily beat their opponents.
But now I want to come, they completely underestimated the distance of 5,700 kilometers away.
Moreover, there is no way to take the first class. There are so many people in the team, and there are not so many places in the first class. If some people are sitting and some are not, it is too unfair.
The seats in the economy class are very unfriendly to Gao Zheng, who is one and a half meters tall.
He couldn't even stretch his legs...
And even more uncomfortable than narrow seats is seven hours of boring travel time.
Gao Zheng finally chose to pass the time by reading novels.
He found an online novel dedicated to football. The author is Lin Haiting Tao, and is said to be a famous football novel author on the Internet. This novel is called "The Hero of the Forbidden Zone". The protagonist in it has a very high height like Gao Zheng, but the style and personality of the player are completely different. The ball really looks like a giant bear.
The technique is too rough.
Gao Zheng scoffed at this.
However, their private life is much more lively than their own, even the Russian tennis girl Sharapova has been soaked. Later, after breaking up with Sharapova, there was a one-night stand with the American rich man Trump's daughter Ivanka Tianlei.
Gao Zheng yelled when he saw this place, the author really dare YY......
But compared with others, private life is indeed too tedious.
Let’s not go to the nightclub to pick up girls. I don’t even have a girlfriend...
Thinking of this, Gao Zheng flipped out the antique second-hand CD player from his carrying bag, put on headphones, and heard the song of Feng Shiyao.
When Sister Feng's song floated into her ears, his slightly restless heart gradually calmed down.
He has continued to read this cool novel...
