Chapter 228: Citroen or Volvo (3rd Update)
After the win against Chelsea, the media across France was full of praise for PSG. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThanks to Paris Saint-Germain's excellent performance, a Champions League place in Ligue 1 next season is already guaranteed for it.
Although not everyone likes PSG's dominance in Ligue 1, everyone agrees that PSG can indeed defend the honor of French football.
Despite the three-goal advantage, there was no within the club. Ibrahimovic's initial diagnosis has come out and he will be out for at least two or three weeks off for a thigh strain, making him unlikely to play in the next away game against Chelsea.
Ibrahimovic's importance to PSG is self-evident, and Cavani's contribution in the central striker position cannot replace Ibrahimovic's contribution for the time being, so the attacking side of Paris will certainly be much inferior in the next leg.
The only good news is that Verratti is not seriously injured and should be back in time for the game before the trip to Chelsea.
On April 5, Paris Saint-Germain, who had undergone a big rotation, beat Reims 3-0 in Ligue 1 to maintain a 15-point gap in the standings, and then the team left for London.
In his pre-match press conference, Blanco expressed cautious optimism: "I have a lot of respect for Moutinho, but, yes, I think our team has a better chance of winning, after all, we have a three-goal advantage, don't we? Zlatan's injury is a huge blow to us and we all miss him, but I'm sure the rest of the players will do a good job and achieve what we set out to do – to reach the last four of the Champions League. Verratti? The doctor reported to me about his condition and I don't think he's back to the point where he can play the full 90 minutes. ”
Moutinho is as conceited as ever: "Three goals is not a big advantage, this is Stamford Bridge and anything can happen here. We've had a tough season, everybody has given a lot and we certainly don't want to get nothing. We have nothing left to lose, we can only fight to the end. We've faced them at Stamford Bridge eight times in a row without conceding a goal. We know that if we keep another clean sheet, we have a good chance of progressing. Stone? He's a talented footballer and any coach would want to play for him and I'm no exception. Whether or not to bring him in and how to bring him in will be the job of the rest of the club, I can't decide. Ibrahimovic is a very good player, he's a superstar that any coach could dream of, so his absence is certainly a good thing for us, but we have the methods we can do for them. ”
Blanco strictly ordered the players to stay in the hotel and not be interviewed, but the Chelsea players did not have this ban, and they also launched a provocation against the players in the big Paris, and for a while saliva splashed in the air.
The day before the race, Shi Hao received a call from Luo Yunhui, "Do you like Volvo or Citroen?" ”
"What?"
"Volvo or Citroen, which do you prefer?"
Shi Hao was stunned, he was preparing for the competition in this heart, how did he know that Luo Yunhui would ask this kind of question: "I like Mercedes-Benz." ”
"No, it's between Volvo and Citroen. It's business! ”
"Tell me about the situation?" Hearing that it was business, Shi Hao automatically entered the "left ear in and right ear out" mode.
"These two companies currently offer you the highest endorsement fee. During the big boss's visit to France, Dongfeng Motor took a stake in Citroen, which is now also a Chinese-funded enterprise. Volvo is also Chinese-owned, having earlier acquired a 100% stake by Geely, and is the only luxury car brand owned by China. Personally, I recommend Volvo, although Citroen offers a higher price...... But frankly, with your current position in football, choosing Citroen is a bit cheap. ”
"Then Volvo." Shi Hao didn't think about business matters at all, and completely trusted Luo Yunhui's vision.
"That's it. I will continue to talk and try to negotiate the conditions a little better. How long will it take to get your driver's license? Volvo will definitely give you a couple of cars. ”
"It's fast, I'm busy now, I'll talk about it after the Champions League."
Luo Yunhui knew the meaning of the song when she heard the strings, and soon hung up the phone.
Shi Hao entered the Dreamer system again, his face was gloomy, and the results of his "simulating the next game" in the system in the past two days were not ideal.
Returning to home, Chelsea have always been staggering, playing PSG 2 times 2:0, 2 times 3:0, 1 time 4:2, 1 time 4:1, 1 time 1:0 in 10 simulations, and three times drawing or losing to PSG.
In other words, Paris Saint-Germain has a 20% chance of not making it to the last four? It's really unimaginable, a 3-goal lead will be overturned!
But Shi Hao couldn't do anything about it. He is not a master tactician, he can only feel that he is playing very aggrieved in these simulated games, but he can't think of any tricks to deal with it.
Ibrahimovic's absence has had too much impact. Cavani is not inferior to Ibrahimovic in terms of impact, and he is definitely not inferior to Ibrahimovic in archery. However, in terms of personal ball handling skills and final handling of the ball in the front court, he is a few notches worse than Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic can pass the ball, finish games on his own, and do more than his opponent expects, while Cavani ...... Too good to predict. In the 10 games simulated, Cavani has scored just two goals in total and has no assists. He was completely lost in front of Moutinho's reinforced concrete defence.
What should I do next? Shi Hao was a little confused.
April 9 evening, Stanford Field. More than 39,000 fans poured into the stadium to watch the game. In this sea of blue, the Paris Saint-Germain players who are warming up in the away white jersey are like eleven inconspicuous small waves.
There are two changes in Chelsea's squad compared to the previous game. Frank Lampard started in place of Ramirez, which also bodes well for Chelsea to be more aggressive in today's game; Samuel Eto'o returned from injury and Schurrle was on the bench.
PSG's changes were that Edinson Cavani stepped up front, Ravic replaced the injured Ibrahimovic on the left wing, and Shi Hao moved to the right winger.
After the referee blew the opening whistle, the visitors dominated the game and took the initiative on the field, almost pressing Chelsea for the first five minutes. Edinson Cavani and Shi Hao each had one shot on goal, but neither was too threatening.
But it didn't take long for Chelsea to stand on their feet to the cheers of the home fans, unleashing wave after wave of onslaught at PSG's goal.
Marquinhos tripped Hazard in front of the box in the sixth minute and Frank Lampard's free-kick was well spotted. Silva had the upper hand in a scramble with Branislav Ivanovic and broke the ball.
Two minutes later, Oscar unexpectedly went straight into the penalty area after winning the ball in front, "Cheetah" Eto'o seemed to be 5 years younger at that moment, and he quickly rushed out to receive the ball and turned to shoot, but fortunately Marquinhos reacted quickly and barely touched the ball and blocked the ball off the line.
In the opening 10 minutes, both sides played fast and had chances, but the situation seemed to be more favourable for Chelsea.
Shi Hao began to worry that the worst outcome of the "simulated next game" would come.
