Chapter 229 A Different Shi Hao
"Chelsea is going to put all their eggs in one basket," Duan Wenxuan interpreted Magic Bird's substitutions, "Including injury time, there are still 25 or 26 minutes left in the game. Mourinho has replaced three forwards, so Chelsea's midfield is too weak, and it will give Paris a lot of opportunities."

Wang Tao said: "That also depends on the Paris team being able to seize the opportunity."

After speaking, the two shook their heads together.In the current state of Paris Saint-Germain... hanging.

During this period of time, Shi Hao slowly adapted to his new role, and began to perform well.

"Shi Hao's performance is getting better and better. After the free kick given to Oscar, his playing style...is much smarter."

Yes, it can only be described as smart.Duan Wenxuan said: "When you watch Shi Hao's games before, you will think that he is a very talented player. His speed is very fast, and the combination of man and ball at high speed is very good. This is like Ronaldo when he was young. And he He also often makes some unbelievable moves, which is similar to Ronaldo when he was young. Everyone knows that Ronaldo has a nickname called 'Alien', which means that he often has some unexpected moves on the court. "

"Yes," Wang Tao recalled, "I was shocked when I watched Shi Hao's game. Can he still play football like this? Is he still human? That's why he often has amazing goals and assists." .And he has become more mature this season. Without Messi and Ronaldo, I think it is entirely possible for him to win the Ballon d'Or in 2014."

Duan Wenxuan also nodded, deeply convinced: "Yes, this is Shi Hao. Since he was unable to play in Inter Milan and was loaned to Bologna, he has now become the second core of Paris Saint-Germain's frontcourt. His progress It's really fast."

Seeing that there are currently no scenes worth explaining on the field, Duan Wenxuan continued to analyze: "But everyone knows Shi Hao's characteristics: good technique, good dribbling, and fast speed; he dares to make moves and is very imaginative; Not bad, his shooting skills are top-notch, and he also has free kick skills. Doesn’t it seem like nothing else?”

Wang Tao said, "That's about it."

"But in the second half, we really saw a different Shi Hao," Duan Wenxuan said, "It's not that he played particularly well. After all, he still didn't adapt to this position for the first time and made some mistakes. But he showed something today that we have never seen before. For example, a wide vision; for example, the control of the rhythm; A scalpel through pass to a teammate to create a chance."

As a former international footballer, Wang Tao has a deeper understanding of this issue than Duan Wenxuan: "I think it may be because the environment is different. In the past, he played on the wing, got the ball and went forward or cut inside. These are the two choices; but now he In the middle, playing the position of the front midfielder, he can't rush forward casually, because the front is where the opponent's heavy troops are guarding; he can't just go to the side, because there are his teammates on the side, and he has to pass the ball. Mobilize the running positions of teammates and let the formation on the field flow."

Duan Wenxuan concluded: "In short, it is not yet possible to determine whether this is a better and more threatening Shi Hao, but we have indeed seen a brand new Shi Hao. Then there are more than 20 minutes left in this game, What will he do with this time?"

With Demba Ba on the pitch, Chelsea played more aggressively, moving through midfield more quickly.Only David Louis, William, and Oscar are left in their midfield. Among them, Oscar has almost no defensive ability, and the heavy responsibility of midfield interception falls on David Louis alone.

He was forced to suffer unspeakably by Shi Hao.Now Shi Hao is playing smarter and more unpredictable. Shi Hao who no longer sticks to the ball looks more threatening than Shi Hao who has the ball at his feet.

Seeing David Louis clumsy from left to right, William also increased his running range and kept running over to help David Louis defend Shi Hao.After Hazard and Lampard left the field, he took on the task of connecting the frontcourt. Now he has decisively increased the range of running without the ball, frequently appearing in the left, middle and right lanes, maintaining Chelsea's fragile midfield. collapse.

But William's physical strength is limited after all, and Shi Hao is not fighting alone. On his left is Lavezzi, on the right is Cavani, and behind him are Cabaye, Mota and Matuidi.Every time he passes the ball, not only the players near the receiving point will run with it, but the players on both sides in other places will also change their positions.

After observing this, Shi Hao found it very novel and interesting, as if the key of the game was under his feet, and he could decide the direction of the game as he wished—of course, he has not yet discovered the correct way to use this key , I just vaguely feel that if he is better and his reading of the game can be more accurate, his role on the field will be far more than goals and assists, and he can also contribute to the team in other ways.

In the 70th minute, Chelsea launched an attack from the wing. Oscar crossed and Demba Ba headed the ball. Schurrle once again appeared in front of the goal unmarked, and Sirigu struggled to save a strong shot.

In the 72nd minute, Shi Hao retreated to take the ball after making continuous passes in the midfield, and then transferred the ball to the left with a big foot.Matuidi plugged in at high speed and quickly passed the ball after receiving the ball. Cavani's shot from 5 meters in front of the goal actually released the plane.

For this sake, Blanco has lost confidence in Lavezzi.Lavezzi was too obsessed with showing off his footwork and neglected to cooperate with his teammates, which caused Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack to slow down many times.So he arranged for Pastore, who scored a goal in the final stage of the first round, to play and replace Lavezzi.

Pastore's debut has indeed brought about an immediate change, which has improved Paris Saint-Germain's offensive efficiency, at least the left side has been revived.

In the 76th minute, in the counterattack, Shi Hao's precise overhead pass found Pastore. Pastore passed William and then made a diagonal long pass to the back of the penalty area.Azpilicueta headed the ball ahead of Cavani, and the ball fell to Shi Hao's feet.Facing the pressure from Oscar and David Luiz, Shi Hao didn't have much time to adjust, he hastily shot a long shot, and the football slid out of the goal.

In the 77th minute, Paris Saint-Germain counterattacked again.After a few short passes, Shi Hao took the ball and ran to the right, while Cavani resolutely inserted into the middle.Shi Hao saw the timing and made a pick pass. The football flew over the heads of Terry and Cahill and landed in the open area behind them. Cavani jumped in at high speed and got the football.But when facing Cech who was attacking single-handedly, he actually fired anti-aircraft guns again...

"Cavani didn't bring his shooting boots this game..." Duan Wenxuan sighed, "If this goal is scored, Chelsea will basically have no hope."
