Chapter 168: Shi Hao who forgot to shoot

Shi Hao was not pessimistic about the results of the team's Champions League draw, but was eager to try because of the possibility of playing against his former "master" Beckham in the system. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On September 1, the transfer market in Europe was closed, and Jun Yingzhi left Siena at the last moment. Juventus took back his other half of ownership and subleased him to Black Chicken. He will compete with the old demon Di Natale and the little demon Muriel for the starting position.

It's a pity that Udinese was eliminated by Braga on penalties in the fourth round of Champions League qualifying, and Jun Yingzhi will not have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League this season.

And Luo Yunhui also negotiated the transfer of Diamanti with the Chinese Super League team Evergrande, due to missing China's summer transfer window, Diamanti can only wait until January to go to the Chinese Super League. He will receive nearly twice as much salary as he did in Bologna. For this reason, Diamanti called Shi Hao to express his gratitude and envy for him to play in the Champions League.

There was also a small shock in the Porto team.

After a summer of transfer scandals but no movement, Hulk finally left, and he switched to Zenit for 50 million euros.

This also means that Shi Hao will have more starting opportunities.

Fans have mixed opinions on the transfer. Some fans criticized the club for not having ambition and continuously letting go of key players. Some fans think that the team has made a good deal, and 50 million euros is enough to buy several more excellent young players like Shi Hao to cultivate.

But there is one thing that almost all fans are almost unanimous about: they think Shi Hao can fill the gap left by Hulk well, and they won't miss Hulk.

On September 2, the third round of the Portuguese Super League began, with Porto away to Ollenis. Shi Hao started again, and in the unfavorable situation of two goals down, Shi Hao stepped up and helped Porto comeback with three beautiful assists.

It's a good thing that the team can win, and it's not bad for Shi Hao to get an assist, but he once again showed hesitation in front of goal in the game, and he didn't even shoot in two solo chances, but passed the ball to Martinez, one of whom was put on the plane by Martinez and the other formed an assist.

Although there is no overwhelming criticism, there are still local media in Porto who pointed out sharply: "Has the silver boot goalscorer of last season's Serie A forgotten how to shoot? In four official matches for Porto this season, he has failed to score a single goal. Now that he has shown a lack of confidence in front of goal, and does not even dare to shoot himself with a single goal, will the talented striker slowly lose his sharpness? ”

One fan even shared a video of his own shooting under Shi Hao's Facebook account, commenting: "Actually, scoring goals is very simple, just like me." ”

China's Baidu "Shi Hao Bar" also wondered about Shi Hao's delay in scoring goals in official matches, and everyone had different opinions, a little worried that Shi Hao, who had left the mainstream arena, would become unable to score.

But then Shi Hao's performance in the national team made people forget about the topic.

After the end of the third round of the Portuguese Super League, Shi Hao flew to Helsingborg to join the national team and scored a goal in the warm-up match against Sweden on September 7, helping the Chinese team draw 1:1 with the Nordic powerhouse Sweden.

Then the Chinese team flew to Recife, Brazil, en masse to challenge the five-star king Brazil team.

In this friendly match on September 11, the performance of the entire Chinese team was miserable. Disappointed fans even called the match a day of shame for the Chinese team.

The Chinese team, which was playing away, was poured into 8 goals by five-star Brazil, which was a massacre.

The only thing that comforted the game was the performance of Jun Yingzhi and Shi Hao, who received Shi Hao's pass in the first half to break the Brazilian goal, allowing the Chinese team to avoid the fate of being shaved head. And Shi Hao had a wonderful performance after passing three people in the second half, but unfortunately the final shot was denied by the crossbar. In the injury time of the game, Shi Hao used a full moon scimitar to help the Chinese team score another goal. Although it is still a loss, it is still a big loss, but 2:8 is better than 0:8.

The tired Shi Hao didn't have much time to rest, and he returned to Portugal immediately after the match against Brazil to participate in the team's training.

A week later, on 19 September, Porto played their first Champions League game of the season when they travelled to Croatia to take on Dinamo Zagreb, who had won the Croatian league for seven consecutive seasons.

Playing away, Porto were in complete control from the first minute.

Zagreb only had a good chance in the 13th minute when striker Kopp picked up a pass on the left side of the box and tried to curl a shot into the far corner with the inside of his instep, only to go just wide of the far post.

After that, Porto spent most of the first half attacking their opponents, but it wasn't until the 41st minute that Porto scored. Danilo broke through on the right side and made a low cross, Shi Hao received the ball in the penalty area and shook the ball out of the gap, everyone thought he was going to shoot, but he surprisingly did not choose to shoot, but picked the ball to the back point, captain Lu Qiao. Gonzalez arrived and scored with a cushion to give Porto the lead!

With their opponents completely overpowering and barely facing any problems in the game, Porto relaxed at half-time and the atmosphere in the dressing room was so lively that it almost lifted the roof.

The captain who ate the cake fed by Shi Hao patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and told him several meat jokes that circulated in Argentina, which made the locker room laugh.

Pereira reminded the players to stay focused and not to capsize in the gutter.

In the second half, Porto, who were leading the score, continued to put pressure on their opponents, but were unable to score again, and Shi Hao got two solo chances on the counter-attack, but both passed the ball to his teammates. One was when Martinez received the ball, and his shot was soft and was held by the opposing goalkeeper; The second time was Hames. Rodriguez got on top and his shot hit the post.

The commentator was puzzled by Shi Hao's two treatments, because in fact, his position was quite good, and he didn't need to pass the ball at all.

Always squandered opportunities and you will be punished. In the 62nd minute, Dinamo Zagreb's Samir took a corner kick, the ball was pushed down by Porto defender Mangala and did not fly far, Tonel stopped the ball with his chest and shot hard, but fortunately Porto goalkeeper Helton showed courage and flew to save the ball. In the 77th minute, Helton again denied Carrasco's close-range header.

After these two advances, Porto played much more cautiously and no longer felt conceited that victory was in their hands. In the second minute of stoppage time, Porto got a free kick opportunity in front, Shi Hao's free kick accurately fell to the feet of De For, who scored directly with a volley without stopping.

In the end, Porto won 2-0 away from home and got the Champions League off to a good start.

But after the game, Shi Hao was still criticized by some media, and it was still those old-fashioned words: what is not confident in front of the goal, forgot how to shoot the goal, etc.

In Baidu Shi Hao's bar, his fans feel that they have found the truth: Shi Hao is trying to transform, from an attacker to an assister.

Actually, it's not true. (To be continued.) )
