On 6 February, the film crew obtained permission from the club and entered Chelsea's training base to film some footage of Shi Hao training. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the morning of 7 February, they boarded a Chelsea bus and travelled together to the city of Birmingham to film some footage of Chelsea's away game against Aston Villa.

The last league draw by Manchester City left a bit of suspense over the Premier League title, but this game must be won. Aston Villa are currently in 16th place with 22 points, just three points off the relegation zone, and have gone eight games without a win in the league and have not scored for more than 600 minutes.

Although Cesc Fabregas is yet to recover from injury and Costa is still out of suspension, the whole Chelsea are still very confident of winning this game.

Hazard even joked that if he couldn't win the game, he would run naked from Birmingham to London.

In the game, Chelsea did take the initiative from the first minute. In the 7th minute, Shi Hao took the ball on the side, and passed the ball to the penalty area after continuous dribbling breakthroughs. Willian didn't take credit for receiving the ball and played a diagonal pass to the better-placed Hazard, who calmly slotted home the far corner to give Chelsea a good start.

Three minutes into the second half, Aston Villa launched a series of attacks and won corners. Willian didn't take a corner wide and the ball was hoisted into the box again by Sissoko, who was unmarked to head the ball in and equalised.

Chelsea were unhurried after conceding and continued to push steadily. In the 57th minute, Willian swept the ball to the goal after breaking through the wing, Drogba in the middle failed to touch the ball, and Shi Hao, who followed up at the back point, shoveled the ball into the empty net, and Chelsea took the lead again.

And that's not the end of it. In the 64th minute, after Azpilicueta broke through, the cross bounced off Cleverley's body, Shi Hao suddenly inserted the broken ball, and the diagonal pass found Ivanovic who was ambushed at the back point, and Ivanovic volleyed the third time to break through the gate guarded by Guzan.

In the end, Chelsea won the game convincingly 3-1 and the film crew captured some excellent footage to make up for their lack of access to the dressing room.

At this point, the task of the film crew is over, and after returning to London with the team, they return to China, while Shi Hao continues his daily routine: training, entering the Dreamer system to train for competitions, official competitions, and accompanying Liu Xiyu......

On the evening of 11 February, Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 at home. Shi Hao also quietly refreshed his league goal tally to 25.

Next, the team began preparations for the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Of the three Premier League teams that have reached the knockout stages, Chelsea have been moderately lucky. The saddest of all, Manchester City, will face the unbeatable Barcelona. Arsenal have the best luck, as they face Monaco and have a good chance of progressing to the next round as long as they don't make a mistake.

This season, Paris Saint-Germain let go of Shi Hao and exchanged for David. Luis and a sum of cash, and there was no further reinforcement. What can be seen is that their defensive ability has been strengthened, but the offensive power has indeed weakened, and they lack the ability to break through.

They still lead Ligue 1, but the lead is not as clear as last season.

Mourinho has done a lot of preparation for this game, and at the same time he is full of confidence. Privately, he joked with Shi Hao: "If it weren't for you last season, we would have reached the semifinals." Now that you're standing with us, I can't think of any reason to lose to PSG. ”

Well, Shi Hao also thinks so.

The match attracted the attention of many celebrities, on one side was the defending champions, the Ligue 1 giants; One side is far ahead in the most competitive Premier League, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Of all the quarter-finals, this match was the most exciting.

In his pre-match press conference, Mourinho expressed cautious optimism. Blanco said: "Shi is a talented player and his phenomenal performances at Chelsea have shown that. Of course we will miss him, but we also have Ibrahimovic and Cavani. We have the ability to win the game. ”

Shi Hao didn't say much in an interview, only said, "I will never forget the fans of Paris Saint-Germain." If you score in a game, I don't celebrate. ”

On the evening of February 17, the Parc des Princes stadium was packed, with Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, Dunga, Rai and other celebrities all coming to watch the game.

Shi Hao was worried that returning to the stadium would be met with abuse and boos from Parisian fans, but when he walked onto the court to start warming up, he found that although there were a few slogans scolding him, most of them were "Welcome back" and "We love you forever" or something like that.

While he was stunned, Ibrahimovic and Cavani came up to greet him. "Hey, how does it feel to be back?"

Shi Hao's eyes were still a little moist, he smiled and said, "It's good, they still remember me, I'm very happy." ”

Ibrahimovic said, "Cry when the game is over, I'll make you cry." ”

"Zlatan, it's going to be you who cry." Shi Hao shot back without showing weakness, and talked to Cavani again.

And when the players on both sides officially appeared, Shi Hao received even more violent applause than Ibrahimovic.

Fans will not forget the people who once brought them joy.

In this match, both sides lined up in a 433 formation. In the Paris Saint-Germain team, 10 are old faces who won the championship with Shi Hao last season. Louis took Mota's place, while Ravitch stood in the same place where Shi Hao had fought.

On Chelsea's side, the entire back line has not changed, with Nemanja Matic, Cesc Fabregas and Ramires in midfield lined up in the back, Hazard and Shi Hao in front of him. Costa is centered.

Offense delights fans, defense wins championships. Mourinho certainly wants to win the title, and it's away from home, so there are no fans to please him. So at the Parc des Princes, Chelsea set up buses from the first minute, leaving only Diego up front. Costa and Shi Hao waited for an opportunity to fight back.

The first 10 minutes were a dull affair between the two sides, with Chelsea holding on to a rock-solid finish and PSG not rushing in under the command of the conservative Blanco.

From the 12th minute onwards, PSG was bombarded with successive headers by Matuidi and Ibrahimovic, but Courtois was in good form and made a series of wonderful saves.

Chelsea's first shot on goal didn't come until the 29th minute. Verratti was booked for tripped Eden Hazard on the edge of the box and Chelsea were awarded a free-kick from 27 yards, Shi Hao's free-kick was aimed at the top corner of the far post, but Sirigu was in no worse form and flew to save the almost certain goal.
