Chapter 750: Playoffs

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw will have to wait another week.

Before this, Atletico Madrid had another league, their opponent was Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid was at home.

In this game, Gao Zheng and Griezmann's "GG combination" once again showed their power. Gao Zheng scored two goals, and Griezmann scored one assist and one goal.

Help the team beat Athletic Bilbao 3:1 at home.

Gao Zheng scored twice to increase his personal goals to fifteen.

At the same time, he also surpassed Neymar and Suarez in the league scorer list, and took the top position of the scorer list with 15 goals.

This is not the first time Gao Zheng has sat in this position this season. For Gao Zheng’s supporters, Gao Zheng just regained his belongings.

What makes Atletico Madrid fans even happier is that in this round of the league, Barcelona is flat again!

They were tied 2:2 by A Coruna at home.

As in the last round of the league, Barcelona also lost the ball in the 86th minute this time and was tied by A Coruña.

It was surprising that even two consecutive matches were evenly scored by the opponent in the 86th minute. Such a thing could happen to Barcelona.

At the same time, Real Madrid unexpectedly lost to Villarreal 0:1 in this round of the league.

It's unbelievable that neither competitor has won.

Atletico Madrid has already scored thirty-nine points, while Barcelona has only thirty-two points. Real Madrid is even worse, with no more than thirty points. It currently ranks third with twenty-nine points.

Simone's plan to maximize the team's lead in the league actually worked.

This is really a surprise.

The next is the lottery ceremony for the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid is the first in the group, so it will play away and then play at home. This schedule is in favor of the first team in the group. After all, after the guest first, it means that you still have the opportunity to return to the home to correct the mistakes made in the first round.

The situation in the first round of the final eighth round is as follows:

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Chelsea.

Benfica reached Zenit St. Petersburg.

And Wolfsburg became the most envied team because they won the "special prize" Ghent.

When the results of the on-site lottery came out, the representatives of other teams cast the Wolfsburg representatives' envy and jealousy.

Rome and Real Madrid will stage horse racing in the quarterfinals to see who runs faster.

Juventus faced Bayern Munich.

Unfortunately, Arsenal met Barcelona.

Manchester City drew a good draw, their opponent is Dynamo Kiev.

Atletico Madrid's sign is not bad, their opponent is PSV.

Although he didn't draw Ghent, he also avoided the three strong teams of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Arsenal.

If Atletico Madrid can make it to the quarterfinals, a lottery will be held to determine who their opponents will be in the quarter-finals.

After the draw results came out, Atletico Madrid also ushered in the second round of the fourth round of the King's Cup.

In the first round, they defeated the second team Reus at 2:1 away.

This second round is their home battle.

Although Atlético Madrid only led by one goal in the first round, it did not seem to be very safe, but Simone still used a rotation lineup and did not let the main force play.

Gao Zheng didn't even make the big list.

It is estimated that if he wants to participate in the King's Cup, he will have to wait for the next game.

It will be the quarterfinals of the King's Cup.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Reus 1-0 at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the King's Cup.

The competition will be held on January 6 and January 14 next year.

Last season, Gao Zheng missed this stage of the King's Cup because of participating in the Asian Cup. By the time he returned, Atletico Madrid had been eliminated from the King's Cup by Barcelona.

So he only scored one goal in the Copa del Rey last season.

But this season, there is no Asian Cup interference, maybe he can score more goals in the King's Cup?

The La Liga last season actually had a winter break. For example, when the 16th round of the league last season was completed on December 21st, the next round of the league was on January 3rd in the second year. There are about ten days in between, and the vacation for the players is one week.

This is the winter break of La Liga.

La Liga's winter break is always very short, almost the same as Serie A.

The longest winter break in the top five leagues is the Bundesliga, which usually takes five weeks off.

This is related to the climate of various places. Western Europe has a maritime climate. Winter is not too cold, especially Spain. Many British people will even come to Spain for vacation in winter, because there is warmer sunshine.

While Germany belongs to a typical continental climate, winter is naturally colder and longer.

However, there will be no winter break for La Liga this season.

This is because there is the European Cup in the summer of 2016, and the national leagues have to end earlier than usual. The schedule is intensive, and the natural winter break is compressed.

Originally, the winter break of La Liga was short, this time simply cancelled.

The last league game in 2015 was December 31st, a match between Villarreal and Valencia.

The first league game in 2016 was on January 2nd, when the Spanish played against Barcelona and the Catalan Derby.

There was a day in the middle, and it was evident how dense the schedule was.

And such a intensive game will definitely put forward higher requirements on the players' physical fitness and body.

Gao Zheng will frequently return to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers in this process. This season I am afraid that he will work harder.

It really responds to the "famous quote" from Six Star Sports: "For Chinese football, Gao Zheng you just bite your teeth again!"

Perhaps it was because of Barcelona's repeated mistakes that made Atletico Madrid slack.

In the sixteenth round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Vallecano 10:2 at home, while Atletico Madrid accidentally overturned in the gutter.

They faced off against the 16th-ranked Malaga, but lost the game with a score of 0:1!

Despite losing the game, Atletico Madrid still ranks first in the league.

But now they have one more game than Barcelona, ​​but they are still only seven points ahead. At the same time, Real Madrid also catch up, with 32 points, and Barcelona have the same points, just because of the problem of victory and defeat, continue to rank third .

Barcelona is going to participate in the World Club Cup, so this round of the league was postponed to February 17 next year.

Although they haven't played yet, everyone thinks that Sporting Gijon can't stop Barcelona at home. These three points can be directly counted for Barcelona...

So I look down on Sporting Gijon, but who is the opponent of a super giant like Barcelona?

In short, the defeat of Atletico Madrid made them miss a good opportunity to continue to expand the points difference.

I don't know if the defeat today will make Atletico Madrid regret it at the end of the season?
