Chapter 347: Fox City Miracle
There was nothing to talk about in the media about the game itself, and the hot topic was the miracle created by the Foxes, the miracle creator Ranieri, the midfielder N'Golo Kante, the late bloomer Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, Schmeichel, Hutter, Shinji Okazaki......
"It's been a magical season, a mediocre Premier League season for the big clubs, and we've seen the Foxes win an incredible title-winning fairytale. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This is the victory of the fighting spirit, this is the victory of football. ”
"This championship can be said to be full of gold, after all, in today's Premier League, when many teams are frantically buying and selling people during the break of each season, Leicester City has hardly made any big moves, relying only on the team that was relegated last season to compete with the powerhouses. At the start of the season, they were the least favourites to win the title at 5,000/1, but the whole team was united and moved forward in a low-key way, because they believe in the power of dreams and believe that hard work pays off, so this title is really well deserved for Leicester City. ”
As for Shi Hao, most of the media have a cautious attitude: "China Shi returned to the court after 7 months. ”
"Seven months after a serious injury, China Shi announced his return with an assist."
"The wonderful pass of the Chinese stone allowed Fox City to win the championship two rounds early."
But there are also discordant voices.
"After returning to the pitch after seven months, we were a little disappointed with the performance of China Stone. He seemed to have a fear of physical confrontation and did not face an opponent once in the 34 minutes he played. And he didn't dribble once, and his dazzling footwork in the past is completely invisible today. If it was such a mediocre stone, I'd rather he never pitch and let those beautiful moments remain in my memory. ”
'The passing was still accurate, but there were no screaming dribbles, no powerful shots that made people boil. Even his best free-kick was a big hit, hitting the wall twice. Of course, this is still his first game since his return, and we all know that the player who has returned from a serious injury has a lot of psychological problems to adjust. Hopefully he'll be able to adjust soon. ”
There is also a lot of debate on the web. The fans are divided into two factions, one is pessimistic that Shi Hao will never be able to regain his form due to this serious injury, and he will no longer be able to rely on speed to eat, and since then he has been reduced from a top superstar to an ordinary first-class star, scoring twenty or thirty goals every season.
The other faction is optimistic that Shi Hao is only in a transition period, and when his body and mind are fully recovered, he will still be the all-powerful Shi Hao.
There is a market for both schools of thought, attacking each other on major forums and social media. But in fact, those pessimists may be fans who love Shi Hao more deeply, and it is precisely because of the depth of love that they are responsible. They pessimistically think that Shi Hao will not return to the peak, but in fact, they don't hope that Shi Hao can jump out and slap them in the face, and proudly tell them: "You are all wrong, Lao Tzu is still the first in the world."
On May 7, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged the black cat Sunderland away. Shi Hao still did not start and only replaced Willian in the 55th minute of the second half.
The score was 2-1 and goals from Costa and Nemanja Matic gave the visitors the lead.
After Shi Hao came on the field, Sunderland had no obligation to cooperate with Chelsea, they saw that Shi Hao had just returned, and they did not dare to do a fierce scramble, and used Shi Hao's side as a breakthrough to attack aggressively.
Shi Hao and Ivanovic were almost penetrated on the right side, and in the 67th minute, Van Aanholt assisted on the left side, and he used his speed to break through Shi Hao, and Shi Hao chased two steps and did not chase again.
Van Aanholt shook off a feint in the face of Branislav Ivanovic and crossed with his feet, and Italian striker Borini padded the ball on his chest in the box and fired hard. Courtois pounced, but the ball was so powerful that he couldn't get the ball away and the ball went to the bottom of the net.
After Sandro equalised, he was even more excited, frequently attacking from the left. In the 70th minute, it was Van Aanholt again, he broke through on the left and shifted his big foot to the center, Cattermor received the ball and distributed it to the right, Yedlin received the ball and crossed down the right side, and Defoe scored with a right-footed volley after winning the ball in the box.
In just three minutes, Sunderland took the lead.
Chelsea, of course, were not convinced and tried to rewrite the scoreline, but after captain John Terry was sent off with two yellows and one red, they completely lost their chances and could only watch as the three points turned into zero.
On the bus back to London, the atmosphere of the team was not bad. After all, it's not a crucial game, and it doesn't matter if you lose.
For Shi Hao and Ivanovic, everyone did not complain - Ivanovic's performance this season was disastrous, and everyone was used to it. And Shi Hao, although he failed to save the Lord, everyone is a professional player and can understand his caution after returning to the court.
Shi Hao himself was very uncomfortable. He doesn't like to lose, and when he loses, he gets in a bad mood. But there's really not much he can do today. Sunderland's morale was high, he was able to fill in the space in a timely manner, and he was reassigned to the wing, and passing the ball alone did not help the team much. And breaking through with the ball? He didn't think it was time yet.
On 12 May, Chelsea took on Liverpool away for the 30th round of the league. At Anfield, Shi Hao made his first start since his comeback.
Hiddink discharged the 4231 formation today, and Shi Hao returned to the position of the forward midfielder again.
In fact, the modern front waist also needs the ability to fight physically, and it has to fight against the opponent's beast waist. Today, Shi Hao finally dared to make physical contact with the other party, although he still did not have his own dribbling breakthrough.
With his passing, Chelsea had the upper hand for a while.
After heading past Philippe Coutinho and Emrejan, Chelsea began to show their chances.
In the 14th minute, Shi Hao's long pass over the top found Pedro, and Pedro burst into the penalty area alone, but unfortunately hit the ball high under Toure's interference.
In the 19th minute, Shi Hao received a return pass from Costa and knocked it directly, and Hazard volleyed hard from the edge of the penalty area, slightly off.
In the 26th minute, Shi Hao took a free kick, he drove the ball into the box, Cahill fought for the spot, but his header was saved by Mignolet.
In the 32nd minute, Baba Rahman passed the ball to Shi Hao, who tried for the first time in the game, he used a Marseille spin to get past Coutinho, who was too fierce, and then went straight and the ball flew accurately to the feet of Hazard.
Eden Hazard began his solo show, breaking through Milner, Lallana and Roberto Firmino to the edge of the box, where he got his feet up in the face of Lovren's block, and the ball went into the net.
In the 65th minute of the second half, Shi Hao was replaced, and now the team doctor has not allowed him to play the whole game.
Blues fans from afar thought Shi Hao and Eden Hazard had teamed up to give them a victory, but in the second minute of stoppage time, Begovic got on the ball and Benteke slotted the ball into the empty net to force Chelsea to secure another draw.
