After Shi Hao returned to London, the atmosphere in the dressing room was quite normal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info didn't win the first game, but he didn't lose after all, did he?

Chelsea's second Premier League game of the season is away to Manchester City.

Ahead of the trip to Manchester, there was a lot of optimism in the squad. Although Manchester City caused a lot of problems last season and were behind Chelsea at the top of the table, the treble gave Chelsea a lot of confidence.

Despite City's spending of hundreds of millions of pounds this season, Chelsea have invested in it, haven't they?

New signing Pedro has been recognized by the team for more than a month, and the reason why he is sadly unable to play in Barcelona is simply due to the presence of Messi and Neymar in front of him.

Although at Chelsea there are also Shi Hao and Eden Hazard in front of him...... But he has every right to be a star player ahead of Oscar and Willian.

Since Hiddink arrived in the team, he has had private conversations with many of the players. But for the top star Shi Hao, although he maintains respect, he often praises Shi Hao in training, and occasionally makes harmless jokes with Shi Hao on the training ground, but he has never communicated privately.

It wasn't until the team came to Manchester that Shi Hao was reading a book in his hotel room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He closed the book and walked over to open the door, and saw the chubby Dutch handsome man standing in the door with a smile on his face.

Shi Hao was a little surprised: "BOSS, why are you here." ”

"Aren't you welcome?" Hiddink smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to having the opportunity to talk to you alone." ”

Of course, Shi Hao would not misunderstand that Hiddink was looking for his own development. He invited Hiddink in and sat down, "What do you want to drink?" ”

"Plain water is fine." Hiddink was not polite at all, and sat down in the sofa chair by himself.

After Shi Hao poured him a glass of water, he sat down opposite Hiddink: "BOSS, it's so late, what's the matter with me?" ”

Hiddink said happily: "I've spoken to most of the players since I came in, but I haven't been looking for you. ”

Shi Hao nodded: "Yes, I also guessed that sooner or later you would look for me." ”

Hiddink glanced at the book in Shi Hao's hand: "I heard that you have always been very self-disciplined, and you usually rest to play games, read books, and accompany your girlfriend. ”

"Yes, I want to keep up my good form and I don't want to let up until I win the Ballon d'Or."

Hiddink smiled: "It's good for young people to have ideals - but for you, as long as you can maintain the current momentum, winning the Golden Globe is not an ideal, but an inevitable result." Even if you fail to improve, when Messi and Ronaldo are old, the Golden Ball Award will definitely have your share. ”

"I don't want to wait until they're old to get this award, it's so boring."

Hiddink smiled and said, "Actually, I have a question that I haven't thought through clearly, so I haven't come to you for a long time." Now that I've thought about it more clearly, Shi, would you like to be the vice captain of the team? ”

Shi Hao was taken aback. The captain of the team is John Terry, which cannot be shaken unless he leaves the team or retires. The vice-captain was previously Petr Cech, and after Petr Cech's move to Arsenal this season, the old qualification Branislavic was the most vocal. "I've only been in the team for a year, so I'm afraid I can't take on such a big responsibility." Shi Hao expressed his concerns.

Hiddink laughed: "You were the team's top scorer last season, contributed the most assists and were voted the best player by the fans. You've made an unparalleled contribution to the team and I don't think anyone would question your qualifications as vice-captain. ”

Shi Hao nodded: "But my age ......"

"Enough," Hiddink interrupted, "I want you to be more involved with the team." I've heard a lot about you, you don't communicate much with your teammates, and although you're a core player on the pitch, you rarely show a core temperament. ”

Shi Hao was thoughtful.

Hiddink continued: "The team had just won the treble and the players were all distraught and they were all thinking about how to make more money and how to play with more models...... I need someone who is driven and hungry to win to help me manage the team. It's also a huge boost for yourself. Would you like to help me? ”

Shi Hao was also moved by these words: "If you think I can, I'll try." ”

Hiddink smiled, "Well, I'll announce the decision tomorrow morning." ”

The next day, on the morning of August 16, after the team finished training, Hiddink announced the decision that Shi Hao would be the team's vice captain.

As Shi Hao expected, although no one expressed opposition, there were not many supporters, and everyone just accepted Hiddink's decision plainly.

Night. At the Etihad Stadium, the fans of the Blue Moon collectively lost their voices once in the opening 10 minutes. Youngster Mangala pulled Shi Hao for a foul and Chelsea were awarded a free-kick opportunity, and Shi Hao opened the scoring for Chelsea with a beautiful ball from a leaf.

But in the 31st minute of the game, the fans of the Blue Moon cheered again. Aguero in the same Yaya. Toure played a wall-and-wall one-two before slicking a low shot past Cahill on the edge of the box, which was unsuccessful for John Terry's flying tackle and into the bottom left-hand corner of the Chelsea goal.

The last ten minutes of the first half were tough for Chelsea. With Begovic and Cahill making mistakes in place of suspended Thibaut Courtois, Branislav Ivanovic was also in a slump, and City had a succession of good chances, only to miss a little bit.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Chelsea suffered another blow when captain John Trira went off injured a muscle. In an unfavorable situation, Shi Hao received Fabregas's wonderful pass and burst into the penalty area, facing Joe Hart's calm low shot, Joe Hart saved the ball but did not go far, Hazard followed up with a follow-up shot.

Chelsea, who had managed to take the lead, gave up that advantage again.

In the 80th minute, Silva took a corner kick, Kompany pressed Branislav Ivanovic in front of the goal, and Begovic could not save the team, and the score became 2:2.

To add insult to injury, there's still to come.

In the 88th minute, Shi Hao broke through two defenders in a row in the counterattack and sent a precise through pass. Costa received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and dipped Kompany and then crossed back, and Hazard fired a powerful shot from close range. Hart scavenged and missed a good chance to take the lead again.

Manchester City immediately launched a counter-attack, Sagna handed the ball to Silva, and Silva found Nasri with a long pass. Nasri shook off Ramirez from the left and crossed into the box and was met by Zuma, Branislav Ivanovic hesitated for a moment after taking the ball, Nasri was tackled, Nasri flicked a cross, Fernandinho fired hard from the edge of the box, and the ball drilled into the corner of the Chelsea goal.

In the end, Chelsea lost the first away game of the new season 2-3.
