Chapter 11 Can you make an appearance?

"...In the second round of the just-concluded Champions League quarter-final match, Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen scored 0:0 at home. However, although Gao Zheng entered the squad in this game, he did not Did not get a chance to play. This is the first time he has entered the game list since he was seriously injured. Before the game, everyone expected him to come back in the game, but now it seems that his comeback may still have to be postponed..."

China's domestic sports news is broadcasting the latest news about Gao Zheng.

As the game against South Korea approaches, Chinese fans are now paying close attention to this point-when will Gao Zheng be able to play, and will he be able to catch up with the game against South Korea?

Although Gao Zheng has resumed training since late January, he has been training alone for a long time.

It wasn't until the end of February that I started training with the team.

And played in team games.

But in the official game, he didn't even play a minute.

In the middle, even if Atletico Madrid lost 1:2 at home to Barcelona, ​​Simeone did not let Gao Zheng be put in the game lineup.

After losing Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid's league ranking this season has dropped to fourth place. Although this ranking can also allow them to participate in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers next season, compared with the results of winning the championship for three consecutive seasons, this fourth place. Four is not enough.

The results are like this, and Simeone still didn't let Gao Zheng play in the game, which has to worry many Chinese fans.

They were worried whether Gao Zheng's recovery was not as good as the outside world said. Simeone was worried that letting Gao Zheng play would lead to the recurrence of old injuries, so he delayed letting Gao Zheng play.

Others think that the root cause of Gao Zheng's inability to play in the game is Gao Zheng himself. Gao Zheng's body may be fine, but Gao Zheng's psychology has a big problem. After suffering two serious injuries in his career, Gao Zheng had already lost his confidence and was afraid of being injured again, that's why he was so resistant to re-entering the game.

Thinking about the German genius Deisler who retired early due to injuries, this argument does not seem to be completely unreasonable.

Frequent injuries will affect the player's psychology and even cause the player to suffer from depression.

So Gao Zheng is probably not a physical problem now, but a psychological problem.

Now there are still eight days before the Sino-Korean war,

One more day a week, and there is another league game next.

Atletico Madrid hosts Sevilla.

If Gao Zheng can't play in this game, then it is estimated that his participation in the game against the South Korean team is really hanging.

It can be said that Gao Zheng's ability to participate in the game against the South Korean team is now the biggest force supporting Chinese fans to pay attention to the national team's game.

If Gao Zheng couldn't participate in this competition, revenge would naturally be out of the question.

Not only is Gao Zheng unable to take revenge, but the Chinese team may also add new shame.

After losing to the South Korean team, the qualification for qualifying for the World Cup will completely say goodbye to the Chinese team.

Even if the Chinese team is coached by Lippi, it will be weak.

The draw with Qatar at home has fully illustrated this problem.

"Gao, the Chinese Football Association sent us a letter to recruit you to return to China to participate in the competition. I want to hear your opinion." Diego Simeone said to Gao Zheng.

"Then I'll go back." Gao Zheng replied decisively and simply.

This surprised Simeone.

He always thought that Gao Zheng was a very calm and rational person. With his current physical condition, there was no need to go back to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

Of course he knows what the game against South Korea means to Chinese football.

But the problem is that the Chinese team has basically lost hope of qualifying for the World Cup. What if the Chinese team wins the South Korean team at home?

Can they still win all the next qualifiers?

Even if they can maintain a complete victory, they have to count on their opponents to lose other games.

This hope is too slim.

When the Chinese team hoped to recruit Gao Zheng in advance to prepare for the Asian Cup last time, Gao Zheng still stood with the club, saying that he listened to the arrangement of the head coach, and he would do what Simeone said.

So Simeone always thought that Gao Zheng was very clear.

Who would have thought that Gao Zheng would give them such a neat answer today.

"Your body is not ready, Gao," Simeone advised.

"Maybe a little bit unprepared, but I have to go back for this game, boss."

"Why? Forgive me for speaking bluntly. I think even if you win South Korea, it is impossible to qualify for the World Cup."

"There is still hope, boss. As long as we can win the Korean team."

"You haven't played a game for almost seven months, and even if you're in good shape, you're not in good shape... Don't look at me, I can't decide if you'll be able to play against Sevilla. It is the responsibility of the medical team to play."

For injured players, if they want to return to the court again, the most important thing is to get the consent of the medical team. If the team doctors think that Gao Zheng's health is not up to standard, then he cannot play the game.

Before the last game against Leverkusen, the team doctors checked Gao Zheng's body and believed that his physical condition had not yet returned to the best condition, and there was a risk of continued injury if he was allowed to play.

But Simeone still insisted on putting Gao Zheng in the squad for the game. He just wanted to add insurance to the team.

In the last ten minutes, both Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen were still 0:0, but Leverkusen's offensive was fierce. During that time, Simeone was always at war between heaven and man, hesitating whether to let Gao Zheng play, but in the end he decided not to take the risk of letting Gao Zheng play.

After all, in the first round, Atletico Madrid defeated Leverkusen 4:2 in an away game. In the last ten minutes, even if Leverkusen broke out and scored two goals in a row to equalize the total score, Atletico Madrid can still use it. The advantage of more away goals advanced to the quarterfinals.

There is no need to take risks for this sure-fire top-eight spot.

After a few seconds of silence, Gao Zheng said: "Then if I am not selected for the competition squad, I hope you, boss, will agree with me to leave early and return to China to prepare for the competition, so that I can rest for a few more days and the burden on my body will be less. "

Simeone stared at Gao Zheng dumbfounded, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to be so determined.

Before the Chinese team asked him to return home early to prepare for the Asian Cup, he didn't cooperate, but today he offered to go back early...

He sighed: "If you can get the approval of the team medical team, then I will let you play in the game against Sevilla. The time will not be too long, but it will help you get back some game status."

He knew that once Gao Zheng made a decision, it would be useless for anyone to persuade him. So at a time like this, it's better to sell favors to Gao Zheng, so that he can remember his kindness.

"Thank you, boss." Gao Zheng laughed.
