Chapter 736: Back to earth

The boos in the Astana Arena do not know when it has disappeared. The home fans behind the Astana goal, with their hands on their heads, looked at it in disbelief.
They really did not expect it anyway. The second half had just started in less than five minutes. Astana players showed them the courage and consciousness of the first battle, the gap was widened...
Also ashamed are Astana players.
Including goalkeeper Eric, they all watched the football in the goal, how I hope this is their illusion, the football is actually behind the net, not in the net...
Especially the foul of Anisi, his eyes widened like hell.
No, it shouldn't be like this!
He shouted in his heart.
Shouldn’t we have fought back to let the proud pride of Atletico Madrid taste the bitter fruit?
We act so tenaciously, why did we lose the ball in the end?
The head coach said that we want to make us play more aggressively in the second half. Do I not be aggressive enough?
But why...
why……
Why did we do everything but still lost the ball?
Weather, home court, 30,000 of our fans...all of these add up, is it not enough to smooth the gap between us and Atletico Madrid?
Some Astana players looked at the sky with their hands on their hips, and they seemed to want to find answers in the night sky, or to hear revelations from heaven.
But there was nothing but stars in the night sky.
Stojlov sits on the coach of the home team, at this time he already understood that his team is impossible to create history in Atletico Madrid.
They can tie Galatasaray at the last minute at home, it does not mean that they can repeat this match against Atletico Madrid.
He sighed.
There are many miracles in the football world, but those miracles do not belong to Astana.
In other words, Astana can score in the Champions League, it is already a miracle. If you want to create a miracle, it is really a luxury...

After Gao Zheng scored, Astana fans were much quieter, and the song that had been almost non-stop before was quiet. Supporting them before was a longing at home to tie or beat Atletico Madrid.
But now, Atletico Madrid let them see the huge strength gap between the two teams.
And this Atletico Madrid is not at their best.
The wind seemed to be a little bit smaller than it was at the beginning, and the corner flag hung down on the flagpole, and the lines were still.
Simone replaced Gao Zheng in the 67th minute-he was really afraid of Gao Zheng being injured.
He certainly knew that Astana's last home game drew Galatasaray in the 89th minute. But compared with the team's performance, he is more afraid of Gao Zheng being injured.
If Astana is really capable of chasing two goals in the last twenty minutes, he will recognize it, as long as Gao Zheng does not get injured.
Although Gao Zheng's free kick is beautiful, he is still worried about Gao Zheng's calf.
Sure enough, the team doctor wrapped an ice pack on Gao Zheng's left calf.
To know that today is actually very cold, many players must pay attention to insulation, but Gao Zheng has to do the opposite. His calf was slightly swollen there.
"Fortunately, it was just a bruise." The team doctor said, comforting Simone.
"I know, but it's still scary to watch..." Simone nodded. "I mean the moment you got kicked."
Gao Zheng smiled at the head coach: "It looks scary because I jumped too high when I was hiding?"

Gao Zheng's game after the end was unstoppable. Although Astana still wanted to score a goal in the last ten minutes.
But they seem to have forgotten. Atletico Madrid's defense is also very good. Don't think that only they can put the bus.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, the score was fixed at 2:0 and Atletico Madrid scored three points on the road.
This will help them consolidate the group's number one position.
Next they will face Galatasaray and Benfica, as long as they do not make mistakes themselves, the opponent will not be able to catch up with them.
In another game, Benfica, a ten-player, beat Galatasaray 2:1 at home and scored seven points. But Atletico Madrid already have ten points, still leading them by three points. As long as they beat Galatasaray at home in the next round of the group stage, they will advance from the group.
The next round of Benfica will challenge Astana away.
It will be November 25th. I believe the temperature will be lower than now and the game will be more difficult to play.
If Atlético Madrid does not have Gao Zheng's outstanding performance, it may be difficult to retreat. And Benfica, who lacks the main core Gaitan, may be difficult to get a cheap price from Astana...
If Benfica cannot win Astana, even if it is a draw, it will make the last round of their direct dialogue with Atletico Madrid meaningless, because Atletico Madrid will not only qualify for a round of team advances, but also at the same time Lock the team first.
This will make Atletico Madrid's final round of playing Benfica much easier. Maybe Simone will be able to make a large rotation of the lineup at that time, so that the main players who have been spinning for so long can get a chance to rest, and they don't have to go away.

Atlético Madrid players returning from Astana have to undergo another seven-hour flight across two continents. But this time their mood is completely different from before.
The plane returning was full of laughter and joy.
Gao Zheng didn't continue to read the football novel called "The Forbidden Zone". The big bear in the novel was never injured. It seemed that he was the only one who hurt others. There was no possibility that he would be hurt by others.
This makes Gao Zheng feel unrealistic.
Look at the price of his swollen calves facing the victory of this game. It is not known if the next league match against Sporting Gijon will be able to catch up.
How easy is it to win a game...
So he changed a novel called "The Godfather of the Champions", about a Chinese fan who traveled from 2007 to Nottingham, England in 2001, a young acting head coach named "Tony Down", who was never optimistic. The rookie coach, step by step, became the story of the champion coach of the world famous.
This novel is not as YY as the previous one, but Gao Zheng watched with relish.
In the book's protagonist Tony Downe, he vaguely saw the shadow of his coach Diego Simone.
It's all for victory.
Simone sometimes tells them how to delay time in the game, how to make small moves when defending to avoid the referee's attention, how to pretend innocent...
To be honest, before joining Atletico Madrid, he really didn't expect a team's head coach to publicly publicize this view on the team.
However, as an excellent player with a thin body, Gao Zheng was kicked by someone from an early age, so he also learned how to protect himself. I have to say that many of the things that Simone emphasized are the habits that he grew up playing. So he felt that the head coach had an appetite for himself.
Perhaps for this reason, when he watched "The Godfather of the Champions", he felt a sense of substitution and a sense of identity.
The seven-hour flight time also seemed to be faster. Before he had seen enough, the plane had arrived at Barajas Airport in Madrid.
At the time of departure, Atletico Madrid players felt that Madrid had begun to cool down, but after experiencing Astana's minus ten degrees of weather, every Atletico Madrid player who walked out of the cabin felt warm.
After fourteen hours of flying back and forth and a difficult game, they finally returned to the world from hell...
