Chapter 208: The Final Puzzle
After the game, Shi Hao did not return to Paris with the team, but took a leave of absence from Blanco and took Moutinho, J Rodriguez and Raguiyo out for dinner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Old teammates always feel very cordial when they meet, even if the relationship is average when they were in the same team, but it is a different feeling to meet again in a foreign country.
Moutinho and J Rodriguez have both established themselves in Monaco, with J Rodriguez even wearing the number 10 shirt and not starting the game only due to minor injuries. Raj is just a little bit, and Ranieri doesn't have enough trust in him.
AFTER EATING, THE FOUR OF THEM WENT TO SOAK TOGETHER AGAIN, BUT BECAUSE SHI HAO STILL DIDN'T LOOK FOR A WOMAN AND DIDN'T DRINK MUCH, HE COULDN'T GET UP, AND EVERYONE DISPERSED AFTER PLAYING FOR A WHILE. As for whether the three of them have other activities, it is not for Shi Hao to worry about.
He didn't know if Moutinho and J Rodriguez were discussing behind their backs, Chinese whether they were both frigid......
After being held to a draw at home by Monaco, PSG seemed to have suddenly opened their minds and found their rhythm to win.
In the seventh round of the league on 25 September, they won 2-0 away at Valenciennes; On September 28, Paris Saint-Germain, who returned to their home stadium, repelled the visiting Toulouse 3-0. On 2 October, they also beat their strongest opponents, Benfica, in the group stage of Group C of the Champions League, with a score of 3-0.
After three wins in a row, PSG did not stop chasing victory, beating Marseille 2-1 away on 7 October and beating Bastia 5-0 in the 10th round of the league on 19 October.
Five wins in a row! Paris Saint-Germain suddenly became good at football. Unbeaten with seven wins and three draws, they also surpassed Monaco for the first time in the league standings and climbed to the top of the table. Monaco, who are also unbeaten with 6 wins and 4 draws, are two points behind and in second place.
The media believes that the credit is mainly due to Blanco, who has made the team more cohesive.
In terms of offense, on the one hand, there is Yi Buding in the front to attack the city, and Shi Hao in the left rear keeps delivering the last pass for him; When Eevee was frozen, Shi Hao was also able to step forward and open up the situation with his personal ability. He made five appearances in those five games, four of which were starts, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
In the right winger position, Cavani has finally found his form and is firmly in the main force. He started three of these five games and scored three goals, becoming the most consistent scorer after Ibrahimovic and Shi Hao.
In midfield, Verratti has grown further and has mastered the rhythm of the game so well that he has even begun to be called "Little Pirlo", and the Italian national team has opened its doors to the young midfield talent, who even scored his first goal for the national team and is in fine form.
Seeing that he commanded Ruoding in the midfield, quite a general, it is hard to believe that he is only 20 years old.
And Motta is also getting older and more demonic, although he is 30 years old and his body is no longer at his peak due to injury, his midfield and defense are still key factors in PSG's ability to firmly control the rhythm on the field.
Looking at his almost world-class performance, who would have thought that a few years ago he could not play in Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and was sold to Inter Milan for 2 million euros cheaply?
Of course, it can also be said that Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian maestro, has trained PSG to be quite an Italian team, and Blanco's successor has injected a touch of French football elegance into the two Italian midfielders.
Of course, PSG's backline is still a cause for concern, especially during Thiago Silva's injury. The immature Marquinhos has not yet been able to carry the banner of a defensive leader, and Camara, despite his experience, is dying, and his physical ability has decreased a lot.
It's just that the midfield of Grand Paris is too strong, so it can cover up the defensive flaws when facing weak teams.
Once you meet a team of the same grade, such as Monaco and Marseille, you will immediately be exposed.
For the sake of the team's defensive problems, Blanco also broke his heart, and Shi Hao was also asked to defend actively. Frequent eye defending, as in Porto, will not work at PSG.
In order to keep his starting position, Shi Hao also had to make compromises. Of course, this also affected his form, preventing him from showing the explosive attacking ability that he had under Porto.
Despite spending more energy on defense, Shi Hao still scored nine goals and assisted eight goals in 11 starts and one substitute appearance this season, directly involved in nearly half of the team's goals.
It is no wonder that the French media recently described Shi Hao as "the last piece of the puzzle for Paris Saint-Germain to complete the hegemony".
On October 23, Paris Saint-Germain directed a massacre at the Stoke Stadium in Brussels, beating Anderlecht 6-0.
Shi Hao scored a hat-trick in this match, and Thiago, who returned from injury. Silva also scored.
After the game, the Chinese media was another carnival: Shi Hao, the first Chinese in history to score a hat-trick in the Champions League! How much more history does he have to make? Judging by his age, his accomplishments will be much more than that!
In this atmosphere, even the atmosphere of Shi Hao and Liu Xiyu was taken out to continue the hype, all news about Shi Hao had a high number of clicks, and Shi Hao's Weibo also rose by more than 1 million fans in a few days.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is currently the most famous footballer in China, and even Jun Yingzhi, who returned to Juventus this season and squeezed Llorent and Osvaldo to the bench, did not have such an impact.
At present, Jun Yingzhi has only made 6 appearances for Juventus in the league, scoring 3 goals, and only 2 appearances in the Champions League with 1 goal, which is far from being comparable to Shi Hao.
Surrounded by praise, Paris Saint-Germain finally stopped their winning streak in the 11th round of the league on October 27. Shi Hao and Cavani both rested in this game, and Paris Saint-Germain, who were playing away, were held to a 2-2 draw by Saint-Etienne.
Ibrahimovic scored another goal to continue to lead the scorers list with eight goals, followed by "Tiger" Falcao with 7 goals and Shi Hao with 6 goals.
But the draw also allowed Monaco to catch up with them again, with both teams winning seven and drawing four, with Paris Saint-Germain in first place on goal difference.
However, on November 2, Paris Saint-Germain won again, and in the 12th round of the league, they defeated Lorient 6-0 at home, and Shi Hao scored two goals. Then Monaco lost 0:2 away to Lille, Paris Saint-Germain finally had a 3-point lead, and Shi Hao also surpassed Falcao in the scorer list, temporarily behind Ibrahimovic; Even Edinson Cavani is close to catching up with Falcao's goal tally.
Monaco's gold body was broken, disappointing some media outlets. Many people had hoped that promoted Monaco could stage the "Kaiserslautern myth" in Ligue 1, but now it seems that Monaco is still a bit lacking in stamina.
