Chapter 216: The Time to Be Young Is Short (The Second Update)

On January 11, Ligue 1 resumed its rivalry, with Paris Saint-Germain away to Ajaccio. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the first half of the game, Ajaccio caused some problems for PSG and the two sides played to a 1-1 draw.

Early in the second half, the young Marquinhos paid the price for his lack of experience when he was sent off after receiving a second yellow card while defending. Blanco had to replace Cavani with Kamara to fill the defensive gap.

Paris Saint-Germain, who were playing with 10 men, panicked for a while, but in the 55th minute, Shi Hao stepped forward and took the lead for Paris Saint-Germain with a free kick that hung straight into the corner.

In the ensuing game, Sirigu made a high and low block to keep the goal intact. The game entered the 83rd minute, Shi Hao directly instigated an attack with a long pass in the midfield, and Ibrahimovic smashed the goal after winning the ball, which made another goal for Paris Saint-Germain and completely laid the victory.

Four days later, in the quarter-finals of the French League Cup, Paris Saint-Germain, who played half of the main team and half of the substitutes, beat Bordeaux 3-1 at home, Shi Hao played 70 minutes, although he only scored one goal, but the other two goals were launched by him.

At this time, the 2013 Golden Globe Awards were also freshly released. Cristiano Ronaldo lifted the trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor for footballers, once again after a gap of five years.

After the merger of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, Messi has won the trophy for three consecutive years, but Ronaldo has broken his monopoly.

Watching the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Shi Hao suddenly sighed.

Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year award two years in a row at the age of 20 and 21, and also won the Ballon d'Or at the age of 21; Ronaldinho was crowned World Footballer of the Year at the age of 24 and won both the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or at the age of 25; At the age of 22, Messi won the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or in one fell swoop, and successfully achieved 4 consecutive dominance; Cristiano Ronaldo won both the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or at the age of 23.

They have two characteristics in common: First, they are both legends. Second, they were young when they received top honors.

In a few days, Shi Hao will turn 21 years old. The time of youth is short, and he will not be able to surpass these legends without winning some honors.

This night, Shi Hao thought about it for a long, long time.

On the night of 19 January, Paris Saint-Germain carried out another massacre at the Parc des Princes, this time with poor Nantes falling under their butcher's knife. Nantes didn't get the slightest chance in this game and were beaten passively throughout the game.

At the end of the first half, Shi Hao's brace had already helped Paris Saint-Germain lead 2:0. In the 55th minute, Shi Hao broke through from the left side and cut inside, and when he dribbled the ball to the left corner of the penalty area, he suddenly shot with his feet, and the football almost flew to the goal against the turf. Nantes goalkeeper Leo was right, but the ball bounced off a metre in front of goal and flew past his hand into the corner.

The fans in the stadium stood up and applauded Shi Hao! It was his third hat-trick of the season and his first in Ligue 1 and his eighth goal in four consecutive games!

The goal completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Nantes team, who conceded one goal after another in the following games, and finally lost to Paris Saint-Germain with a humiliating score of 0-6.

The French media have been incredulous about Shi Hao's purple state, what made him change so dramatically after a winter break?

It's not just a matter of scoring goals, everyone can clearly feel that in these four games, Shi Hao has shown something different. He has become more active on the court, daring to take the ball in the face of vicious fouls, and becoming more resolute in his final handling of the ball.

The Chinese media linked Shi Hao's outstanding performance with his previous high-profile show of affection, believing that it was his girlfriend's encouragement that made Shi Hao have a breakthrough at the spiritual level, and the stability of his love life made him more confident and more mature and calm.

No one knows Shi Hao's mental journey when watching the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Only when his autobiography is published in the future will everyone understand how his psychology changed that night.

On January 23, Paris Saint-Germain played the 32-16 match of the French Cup with most of the substitutes, and finally lost 1:2 to Montpellier, ending their journey in the French Cup.

Montpellier had just held Monaco to a 1-1 draw in the league, extending the gap between Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain to seven points. Now he has blocked Paris Saint-Germain in the French Cup, which is really a reincarnation of heaven and retribution.

However, the French Cup is actually an event that Blanco voluntarily abandoned, and Paris Saint-Germain did not have enough depth on the bench to maintain a four-line battle.

Blanco had a special meeting with the players after the winter break, and determined that the team's goal is to keep the league title, strive for a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, and strive to win the French League Cup on the premise of ensuring that the goals of these two competitions are achieved.

So the defeat did not have any impact on the morale of PSG.

And Monaco also suffered a heavy blow in this round of the French Cup. Although they beat their opponents 3-0, their leading scorer Falcao was badly violated in this game and torn his cruciate ligament. He will miss all the rest of the season and will even miss the World Cup in Brazil.

It is to be expected that Monaco, lacking a striker, will gradually fall out of the remaining league and will no longer be a real threat to PSG.

Therefore, the whole Paris Saint-Germain team ushered in the 22nd round of the league in a relaxed atmosphere, challenging Guingamp away.

However, in football, it is sometimes not strength, on-the-spot command and morale that determine the outcome of the game, but rather an illusory stroke of luck.

In the first half, Shi Hao's shot and Thiago Silva's header each hit the post, and the two sides exchanged blanks.

At half-time, the atmosphere in PSG's squad was still good, and even, they seemed to be a little too relaxed.

This also led to the opening of the second half when they were taken by Guingamp defender Sedang to take advantage of a corner kick opportunity to take the lead.

After conceding the goal, PSG began to fight back, but the Guingamp team also retreated and set up a bus in front of the goal.

Shi Hao finally broke the deadlock for Paris Saint-Germain in the 79th minute, when he ran to the middle to meet Matuidi, and directly smashed Matuidi's pass with his heel to Verratti, who was pulled to the wing.

Verratti controlled the ball and suddenly crossed diagonally. Shi Hao had already run into the penalty area at this time, he grabbed the ball before the opposing defender could break it, took advantage of the situation, and shot at a small angle with his left foot.

He deliberately chose the top corner of the goal, and the ball grazed the lower edge of the crossbar like a cannonball, and the opposing goalkeeper Samassa could not do anything.
