Chapter 285: Establishing a Core Position

In the 75th minute, Shi Hao suddenly plugged straight after breaking the ball, Willian and substitute Drogba successfully countered offside at the same time, and finally Willian knocked horizontally, Drogba scored an empty goal, and the score became 4:0. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was not Shi Hao's assist, his ecstasy was the key to the success of this attack.

And Mourinho is more important to another point, Shi Hao was notoriously lazy when he played at Paris Saint-Germain, and his defense was loose.

But this season, under his own tuning, Shi Hao's defensive attitude is much more positive, and his defensive ability has also improved rapidly.

In modern football, if you want to play beautiful football, of course, you rely on attack; But if you want to win the championship, you have to rely on defense.

Mourinho was originally worried that after buying Shi Hao with a lot of money, he would be uncomfortable for a while, but this kid is also a person who is hungry for victory, as long as it is beneficial to win the championship, he will learn to do it seriously.

Thinking of this, Mourinho made a decision. Looking at a few more games, if Shi Hao can have such a performance, his core position will be officially established.

As for Hazard, although he is also a genius, he is a little worse after all, so he can only be a wingman for Shi Hao.

The 4-0 score appeared on the electronic scoreboard above the stadium, leaving Schalke fans in deep pain. However, this is not the end.

In the 79th minute, Chelsea organised an attack. After Shi Hao made continuous passes in the midfield, he suddenly distributed the ball to the right side, and then cut forward at his own speed.

Willian didn't play as sticky as Hazard and soon lobbed a long ball to Drogba. Drogba jumped up in front of the penalty area, and the header returned to the spot, Shi Hao met it, stopped the ball very comfortably, and did not give Schalke 04's defenders any opportunity to take advantage of.

When Mayer came up to press, he suddenly started, although this start was not as fast as Messi's, but it also made Mayer unable to get off. He didn't get greedy after past Mayer, and suddenly he played a half-high ball into the left side of the box.

Schalke 04's defenders were all focused on Drogba, but Hazard burst into the box but was unmarked, winning the ball and firing a low shot into the far corner.

Poor Fairman picked up the ball from the goal for the fifth time, and his back was sluggish.

After the goal, Hazard politely hugged Shi Hao and thanked him for his assist, but he soon let go of Shi Hao, as if the hug made him very awkward.

In the stands, the flag hung feebly, like the emotions of Schalke fans, already numb with grief.

How long ago did such a big loss go back?

No one has the heart to cheer for the team anymore. No matter how loyal the fans are, they can only watch their team being wantonly bullied and humiliated on the field with sad eyes at this time.

Although there are still ten minutes left in the game, many fans can't stand the atmosphere and leave the stadium early.

The only active place in the stands was the visitors' fan seating, where more than 1,000 Blues fans sang and danced in celebration of the team's victory. It is a pity for Shi Hao that Liu Xiyu is on duty in the hospital today and cannot come with the team to watch the game.

After Schalke 04 restarted, Chelsea players did not go up to press. 5:0 was enough, and they didn't want to humiliate their opponents too much.

If Schalke 04 can have the fighting spirit to organise an attack at this time, it doesn't matter if the Chelsea players put some water in them to get one in.

It's a pity that Schalke 04 failed to take advantage of the opportunity, but made frequent mistakes at the back. In the 86th minute, Chelsea, who had no intention of attacking, slowly passed to the front of the Schalke 04 penalty area.

Shi Hao controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and the two stepped forward to wrap up. Shi Hao shot casually, and he had no intention of scoring again, just killing a few more minutes.

The ball that he shot clearly off the goal hit the leg of Atsuto Uchida, who was returning to the defense, and the refraction went in the opposite direction. Fairman couldn't make a save and the ball rolled into the net with a grunt......

With such a ridiculous goal, Shi Hao was also speechless. And whether this goal is scored by himself or an oolong by Atsushi Uchida depends on what the referee says.

When the 90 minutes were up, the referee didn't give a single minute of stoppage time. The home players were clearly grateful to the referee, otherwise they might have conceded a goal.

The score of 6:0 also made the entire European media collectively silent.

An 8-0 win over Maribor is nothing, and the Slovenian league is not in the stream after all. But Schalke 04 is the runner-up of the Bundesliga last season, and there are many German internationals and talented teenagers in the team, why is it that they can't find the north?

Are Chelsea that strong?

The German media sent out a cry of sorrow. Two seasons ago, two German teams met in the Champions League final, which they were overjoyed to see as a sign of the Bundesliga's rise.

Just two years later, the Bundesliga side was humiliated in the Champions Cup...... Is the Bundesliga already in decline? Or is the Premier League already too strong? Or is it just that Chelsea are too strong?

Shi Hao, who scored 2 goals (the last goal is Atsuto Uchida's own goal) and assisted 1 goal, deservedly rated as the best player of the game. His flawless performance in attack left the British media, which has always been picky about foreign players, speechless.

Keen commentators were aware of the change in Mourinho's tactics in this game, and he dared to give Shi Hao the position of the core of the attack.

It's not that Shi Hao can't be the core of the attack, but there are already Hazard and Diego at Chelsea. In the case of Costa, with Shi Hao as the core of the attack, Mourinho's approach is still amazing. He's not afraid of causing a discord in the locker room?

Generally speaking, when there are several offensive players of similar strength, it is more reasonable to have an equal ball core and let the offensive players have equal possession.

However, the tactics with Shi Hao as the core of the attack allowed Mourinho to win a 6-0 victory, and the media did not want to sing any contradiction, so they had to write it down first and wait for Chelsea to jump out when they were in trouble in the future.

Chelsea, who returned to domestic competition, were unable to continue that frantic form as they took on Black Cat Sunderland on 29 November. In this game, Mourinho hid the main players including Hazard, Shi Hao, Cesc Fabregas, etc., and saved strength for the home game against Tottenham Hotspur four days later.

The two sides were still tied in the first half, and Mourinho didn't want to lose three points, so he gradually replaced Hazard and Shi Hao after 60 minutes. In the 81st minute of the game, the deadlock was finally broken, Willian passed the ball on the side, Shi Hao did not stop the ball and directly picked up the pass into the penalty area. Costa battled for the penalty and headed the ball into goal. Eden Hazard swept a shot into the net from the crowd to give Chelsea all three points on a difficult away game.
