In the 28th round of the league, Atletico Madrid welcomed the same-city team Getafe at home.

In fact, this can be regarded as a "Madrid derby", but I'm afraid no one will really give these two games this name.

After all, the strength of the two teams is too different.

In this game, Gao Zheng returned to the lineup, and it was precisely with his two goals that Atletico Madrid defeated Getafe 2-0 at home.

However, this game is not a focus battle, even though Atletico Madrid's points are currently ranked first in the league.

Because everyone knows how Atletico Madrid is the first in the league. When the score was originally the same, Atletico Madrid had one more game and naturally had three more points than Barcelona, ​​so it became the first in the league.

But it doesn't make any sense to be the first in the league like this.

No one will tell this.

Everyone's focus is on Barcelona's "national derby" at home against Real Madrid.

Although Real Madrid had fallen from the top of the league due to an accident before and became the third in the league, they were only one point behind Barcelona.

As long as they can defeat Barcelona, ​​they can not only surpass Barcelona, ​​but also Atletico Madrid, which is the same as Barcelona. It can be said that "kills two birds with one stone".

Of course, the only problem is that Real Madrid is away this time, and Barcelona is not easy to play at home.

Many analysts before the game believed that as long as Barcelona could defeat Real Madrid, Real Madrid could completely bid farewell to the league championship.

The next league championship will be won between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

But Atletico Madrid's record against Barcelona three times this season is really unconvincing. Their only advantage is that they played at home in the last time they played against Barcelona.

But they also played against Barcelona at home, what was the result?

Didn't you still lose?

This highly anticipated national derby is the last game of this round of the league, and the importance of this game can also be seen from this arrangement.

In the nineteen minutes of the game, Messi assisted Jeremy Mathieu to score a header. This was Mathieu's first goal this season and broke through Real Madrid's goal.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo equalized for Real Madrid behind.

But in the 56th minute of the second half, Suarez's goal regained the lead for Barcelona.

This score lasted until the end of the game.

In the end, with two goals from Suarez and Mathieu, Barcelona, ​​who played at home, defeated Real Madrid and won perhaps the most important victory of the season.

With these three points, Barcelona beat Real Madrid by as many as four points.

This result disappointed Real Madrid supporters, who felt that their team had missed the league championship this season.

After the game, the camera captured the disappointed Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese lowered his head and walked off the stadium first, without accepting an interview or saying hello to anyone.

Gao Zheng only learned the result of this national derby after he arrived in China. After the match against Getafe, he set off and left Madrid and returned to China thousands of miles away.

After joining his national team, he will participate in two friendly matches of the national team on March 27 and March 31, with his opponents being Haiti and Tunisia.

These two games will be the last two warm-up matches of the Chinese team before the World Cup qualifiers.

So although it was just a warm-up match, Gao Zheng still had to return to China to participate in the team just to get along with the team.

Although Simeone actually didn't like letting Gao Zheng return to China to participate in the competition, there was no stop.

He knew very well how important the World Cup was for Chinese football.

After finally having a player like Gao Zheng, Chinese fans must hope that their national team can reach the World Cup finals.

He can still compete with the Chinese Football Association for a match like the Asian Cup, but he knows very well that Gao Zheng will definitely stand on the side of the Chinese team in preparation for the World Cup.

However, despite Gao Zheng's help, the Chinese team did not play well in these two warm-up matches.

After the Chinese team won third place in the Asian Cup, everyone had high expectations for this team.

As a result, the Chinese team drew 2:2 with Haiti in the first game, and shook hands with Tunisia 1:1 in the second game.

Gao Zheng scored all three goals from the Chinese team, but failed to help the team win even in one game.

After these two warm-up matches, domestic media and fans were very dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team.

They believe that except Gao Zheng, no one else took these two games seriously, which led to the Chinese team with Gao Zheng not even winning a team like Haiti.

Someone complained to Gao Zheng: "If I had known that his teammates had this attitude, I think Gao Zheng shouldn't have come back at all. He wasted time and energy and played two meaningless games!"

"Facts have proved that even if the Chinese team won the third place in the Asian Cup, they have not improved their strength. What should they be like..."

"Look at Gao Zheng, aren't the other international players ashamed?"

However, some people think that this cannot be blamed on the national players. The Chinese Football Association's amateur preparation plan is also a big problem.

In the last two warm-up matches before the World Cup qualifiers, I chose teams like Haiti and Tunisia as warm-up opponents. Do these two teams have any similarities with our opponents in the Asian Cup qualifiers? Can the match with them help us prepare for the qualifiers?

Some people also criticized Perrin for still conducting a large-scale inspection of players during these last two warm-up matches. This behavior is wrong. After all, the qualifiers are about to begin. In the last two warm-up matches, what the Chinese team should do now is to debug the existing lineup and find the best solution to the lineup, rather than continue to examine new players and run-in the lineup.

...

However, Gao Zheng did not respond to any questions about his teammates, nor did he publicly express his dissatisfaction with these two warm-up matches.

He did not accept any interviews with reporters. After the game, he hurriedly left China and flew back to Madrid.

Club events are becoming more and more intense, and he needs to do his best there.

But at the same time, this is also a good excuse to escape from the storm of Chinese football.

During the debate on Chinese football, no matter what sound he makes, he simply keeps silent.

In addition to the league, Atletico Madrid met Real Madrid again in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which is the seventh time that the two teams have met this season.

Before that, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have encountered the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and the Copa del Rey this season in all the matches they can meet.

Now it's the turn of the Champions League.

There are arch rivals in the same city in the Champions League. In the league, Atletico Madrid also faces competition with Barcelona. If the defending champion still wants to defend the title successfully, it will be difficult. Now public opinion is more optimistic about Barcelona, ​​and there are few mentions about the defending champion.

As for the arguments and thoughts left by these two warm-up matches for Chinese football, Gao Zheng had no intention of paying attention to it. In fact, even if he paid attention to it, it would be useless. That was not a problem that he could solve.

In the 29th round of the league, Atletico Madrid challenged Cordoba away.

Although he flew back to China to play two warm-up matches, Gao Zheng still appeared in the lineup of this game.

On the one hand, Cordoba, the last one, has to relegate, and as we all know, relegation teams have always been difficult to play.

In the final sprint stage of competing for the league championship with Barcelona, ​​no loss should be made in any game.

So when Simeone was obviously inferior to his strength, she still let Gao Zheng appear.

Gao Zheng did not disappoint the head coach's expectations. He scored twice in the game, helping the team finally defeat Cordoba away with a score of 2:0.

A day later, Real Madrid defeated Granada 9:1 at its home court, full of gimmicks but useless. They are still four points behind Atletico Madrid.

On the same day, Barcelona defeated Vigo Celta 1:0 away.

Although this score is not enough compared to Real Madrid's, it is all three points, whether it is 1:0 or 9:1.

So Barcelona is still ranked first in the league, also four points ahead of Real Madrid.

What does this four-point gap mean? It means Real Madrid will have to count on Barcelona to make two mistakes in the remaining nine league rounds before they have a chance to overtake.

But if a team can win the championship, how can they make two mistakes in the last moment?

This probability is really too low.

And even if Barcelona really made two mistakes, the first one to benefit was Atletico Madrid, not Real Madrid. Unless... Atletico Madrid also made two mistakes.

Both the top two teams in the league made two mistakes just to get Real Madrid to the top... How much is this chance?

You should know that it is impossible with your butt.

So although there are nine rounds left in the league, it can basically be said that Real Madrid has bid farewell to the league championship in advance.

They have exited the chat room.
