Chapter 281 Attacking the Core
After winning the game against Liverpool, it was another national team match day.
石浩回国参加了两场热身赛，先是2:1赢下了大洋洲劲旅新西兰，18日又在西安2:0力克来访的洪都拉斯。
The content of the game was lackluster. Although they could win the game, it was basically due to the personal flashes of Shi Hao, Jun Yingzhi and captain Zheng Zhi that they won the game.The fans didn't buy it for such a victory, and Perrin also looked embarrassed.
This time Liu Xiyu did not return to China with Shi Hao.After Shi Hao returned to London, Liu Xiyu finally took a fancy to the house.
She wants to continue her studies, and unlike Shi Hao, who is purely a diploma, as a medical student, she has to go to a hospital for an internship; and she is taking a driver's license test, so she is actually very busy these days, and has been procrastinating until now. Get the house finalized.
Liu Xiyu originally thought that buying a house in London should still have room for appreciation, so it would be better to buy a bigger one and resell it at that time.
However, Luo Yunhui told them that instead of spending a lot of money to buy a house here, it is better to invest in China, where house prices rise faster.So in October, Shi Hao entrusted almost all his assets to Luo Yunhui to take care of them.
Luo Yunhui herself didn't have so much time. She hired another team to help Shi Hao buy dozens of properties in first- and second-tier cities in China, ranging from small apartments to villas.
Luo estimates that the properties could double in value within the next three years.
So this time, Liu Xiyu didn't go to see the mansion, but only fell in love with a small house in the suburbs worth 180 million pounds.Shi Hao can only afford the down payment now. Fortunately, his loan was easily approved, and he bought the house before the start of the new round of the league. Next, he will renovate and decorate it, and it will be ready before Christmas. live in.
With the house settled, Shi Hao was able to devote himself wholeheartedly to training and competitions.
On November 11, Chelsea played against West Bromwich Albion at home.On the one hand, Mourinho considered saving energy for the Champions League, and on the other hand, he wanted to test what changes would happen if Shi Hao was used alone, so he hid Hazard.
As a result, in the first half of the game, Chelsea led by two goals.First, Shi Hao made a wonderful pass, Costa moved knowingly, and shot directly without stopping the ball to open the scoring.
Not long after, it was another wonderful pass from Shi Hao that gave Costa a one-handed chance. Jacob tackled Costa outside the penalty area and was sent off the field with a red card.
Before the end of the first half, Cesc Fabregas suddenly kicked the ball with his left foot in the penalty area and made a half-high pass. Shi Hao broke through the crowd, rounded his legs and turned and volleyed into the net.
Soon after the start of the second half, Mourinho replaced Shi Hao, who seemed a bit tired, to rest, and the score of 2:0 continued until the halftime.
For Chelsea's successive victories, the British media has lost its novelty, and now they are looking forward to a team that can stand up and teach Chelsea a lesson.Yet even this simple wish seems out of reach.
After winning this game, the team went to Gelsenkirchen to prepare to challenge Schalke 04.
Although the Blues have basically locked the top spot in the group ahead of schedule, Mourinho still seems to take this game seriously.
In the training, everyone also found an obvious change.
"Hand the ball to Stone!"
"Pass it to Shi!"
"Shi, go and respond!"
After a day of training, Hazard's face was clouded, but he didn't attack.
Mourinho is planning to make Shi Hao the core!
The team's tactical changes are reflected in the Dreamer system.During the "simulation of the next game" that night, Shi Hao found that everyone passed the ball to him more times.
Shi Hao has never been a strictly offensive core before, because neither Bologna nor Porto have an offensive core. In Bologna, he and Diamanti had equal possession of the ball. In Porto, he and J Rodriguez equal possession of the ball.
When it came to Paris Saint-Germain, the core of the team's offense was Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic was the team's first choice.
It was the first time to serve as the core of the attack, but Shi Hao didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt like a fish in water, as if he was born to be the core of the attack.
This point was fully reflected in the proud trip to the Schalke Stadium (now named the Veltins Stadium) on the evening of November 11.
Just 1 minute into the game, Shi Hao slammed a ball straight to Diego Costa in the penalty area, and then he slammed forward.Costa returned the ball with his back, Shi Hao followed up and kicked the goal, but Fellman frantically blocked the baseline with his foot.
Fabregas took a corner kick to the middle, and Terry beat the opponent's captain Hewedes in the middle and headed the ball into the dead corner of the goal!
What a fantastic start for Chelsea!
Pride went to the Schalke Stadium in dead silence.Many fans were still looking for seats at this time, not knowing what happened.
In the 12th minute, Schalke 04 almost equalized the score. The young player Mayer's shot hit the crossbar and missed the opportunity.
But then the game completely entered the rhythm of Chelsea - no, it should be said that it entered the rhythm of Shi Hao.
In the 28th minute, Shi Hao and Hazard played two-for-one in a row, and finally received Hazard's return pass near the baseline. He turned around and took a step, and suddenly turned around and shot at the penalty area line. The football drew a huge arc. , bypassing Fellman's arm, and drilled into the far corner of the goal.
In the 40th minute, Schalke defender Atsuto Uchida made a pass back. Shi Hao suddenly inserted the ball and stuffed it straight into the penalty area. Costa inserted in the back row to form a single goal, but he slipped by himself after passing Felman. , missed the chance to shoot the empty goal.The sad Costa still hasn't broken the scoring drought in the Champions League.
In the 44th minute, Fabregas took a corner kick. Atsuto Uchida's header was not far enough to clear the siege. Shi Hao volleyed the ball. The football passed through the crowd and hit the goal straight.
At the end of the first half, the team led 3:0.
During the half-time break, Mourinho enthusiastically praised the team's performance. This time he did not praise Shi Hao alone - because it is not necessary, Shi Hao's contribution is obvious to all.
Fabregas organized the team's midfield and backcourt tightly, while Shi Hao took care of the frontcourt extremely smoothly.
Sure enough, it is correct to arrange Shi Hao as the single core, Mourinho thought to himself, it is just a pity for Hazard.He glanced at Hazard sitting in the corner of the locker room without saying a word, quietly not participating in everyone's communication.
After the start of the second half, Chelsea relaxed their high-position pressing and stopped aggressively attacking, but Shi Hao still created chances for the team repeatedly. His dribbling was unstoppable and his passing was captivating.
Although he failed to score again, he did help the team firmly grasp the rhythm of the field.When Chelsea gradually recovered, he also frequently returned to his own half to help Cesc Fabregas organize the midfield.
