Chapter 166 Shi Hao Forgot to Shoot

Shi Hao is not pessimistic about the team's Champions League draw result, but is eager to try because of the possibility of playing against his former "master" Beckham in the system.

On September 9st, the European transfer market was closed, and Jun Yingzhi left Siena at the last moment as he wished.Juventus took back the other half of his ownership and sublet him to Wuji.He will compete with the old demon Di Natale and the little demon Muriel for the starting position.

It is a pity that Udinese was eliminated by Braga on penalties in the fourth round of the Champions League qualifying round. Jun Yingzhi will not have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League this season.

And Luo Yunhui also negotiated the transfer of Diamanti with the Chinese Super League Banba Hengda team. Since he missed the summer transfer window in China, Diamanti could only wait until January before going to the Chinese Super League.He will get close to twice the salary in Bologna.For this reason, Diamanti called Shi Hao to express his gratitude and envy for him being able to play in the Champions League.

There was also a small shock in the Porto team.

There was a summer transfer scandal, but there was no movement. Hulk finally left the team. He switched to the Zenit team for 5000 million euros.

This also means that Shi Hao will have more starting opportunities.

Fans have mixed opinions about the transfer.Some fans criticized the club for having no ambitions and continuously letting go of key players.Some fans also think that the team has made a good deal, and 5000 million euros is enough to buy several outstanding young players like Shi Hao to train.

But there is one thing that almost all fans agree on: they think Shi Hao can fill the gap left by Hulk very well, and they will not miss Hulk.

On September 9, the third round of the Portuguese Super League kicked off, and Porto challenged Orianes away.Shi Hao made his debut again. Under the unfavorable situation of being behind by two goals, Shi Hao stepped forward and helped Porto turn the defeat into victory with three beautiful assists.

It is a good thing for the team to win, and it is also good for Shi Hao to get assists, but he once again showed hesitation in front of the goal in the game, and even had two single-handed opportunities where he did not shoot, but passed the ball Martinez, one of them was put on the plane by Martinez, and the other formed an assist.

Although there will not be overwhelming criticism, some Porto local media pointed out sharply: "Did the silver-boot shooter in Serie A last season forget how to shoot? In the 4 official games of Porto this season, he failed to score a single goal. Go in. Now he has shown a lack of confidence in front of the goal, and he is even afraid to shoot a single-handed ball. If this continues, will this talented striker slowly lose his spirit?"

One fan even shared a video of himself shooting a goal on Shi Hao's Facebook account, leaving a message saying: "Actually scoring goals is very simple, just do it like I do."

China's Baidu "Shi Hao Bar" also has doubts about Shi Hao's delay in scoring in official games. Everyone has different opinions, and they are a little worried that Shi Hao, who has left the mainstream arena, will become unable to score goals.

But then Shi Hao's performance in the national team made people forget this topic.

After the third round of the Portuguese Super League, Shi Hao flew to Helsingborg to join the national team, and scored a goal in the warm-up match against Sweden on September 9, helping the Chinese team to a 7:1 draw with Sweden, the strong Nordic powerhouse.

Then the Chinese team flew to Recife, Brazil collectively to challenge the five-star king Brazil.

In this friendly match on September 9, the performance of the entire Chinese team was appalling.Disappointed fans even called this game a shameful day for the Chinese team.

The Chinese team in the away game was poured into 8 goals by the five-star Brazil, which can be called a massacre.

The only two consoling things in this game were the performances of Jun Yingzhi and Shi Hao. In the first half, Jun Yingzhi received Shi Hao's pass and broke the Brazil team's goal, allowing the Chinese team to avoid the fate of being shaved.In the second half, Shi Hao had a wonderful performance after passing three players in a row, but unfortunately the final shot was rejected by the crossbar.In the stoppage time of the game, Shi Hao used a round moon scimitar to help the Chinese team score another goal.Although it is still a loss, it is still a big loss, but 2:8 is better than 0:8.

The exhausted Shi Hao didn't have much time to rest. He returned to Portugal to participate in the team's training immediately after the match against Brazil.

A week later, on September 9, Porto started their first UEFA Champions League match of the season. They traveled to Croatia to challenge Dinamo Zagreb, which has won the Croatian League Championship for 19 consecutive seasons.

Porto, who played away, completely controlled the situation on the field from the first minute.

Zagreb only had one good chance in the 13th minute, when striker Kopp received a pass on the left side of the penalty area and tried to curl the inside of his foot into the far corner, but the ball went just wide of the far post.

Since then, Porto has been attacking the opponent for most of the first half, but Porto did not score until the 41st minute.Danilo made a low pass after breaking through from the right. After receiving the ball in the penalty area, Shi Hao continued to smash the ball out of the gap. When everyone thought he was going to shoot, he unexpectedly did not choose to shoot, but the ball After the pick pass, captain Lucho Gonzalez rushed to the goal and scored a goal, giving Porto the lead!
Due to their strength completely crushing their opponents, they hardly encountered any troubles in the game. The Porto team was very relaxed during the halftime break, and the atmosphere in the locker room was so lively that the roof was almost lifted.

The captain who ate the pancakes fed by Shi Hao patted Shi Hao on the shoulder and told him several nasty jokes that were circulated in Argentina, which made the locker room burst into laughter.

Pereira reminded the players to keep their attention and not to capsize in the gutter.

In the second half of the game, Porto, who led the score, continued to put pressure on their opponents, but failed to score again. Shi Hao got two single-handed chances in the counterattack, but passed the ball to his teammates.Once Martinez received the ball, his shot was soft and was hugged by the opponent's goalkeeper; the second time was James Rodriguez's response, and his shot hit the goal post.

The commentator was puzzled by Shi Hao's handling of these two times, because in fact his position is quite good and he doesn't need to pass the ball at all.

Always squandering opportunities will pay off.In the 62nd minute, Dinamo Zagreb's Samiri took a corner kick. The ball did not fly far after being pushed down by Porto defender Mangala. Tonel stopped the ball with his chest and shot vigorously. Fortunately, Porto goalkeeper Helton He performed bravely and flew to save the ball.In the 77th minute, Helton once again denied Carrasco's header from close at hand.

After these two preliminaries, Porto played a lot more cautiously, and no longer conceitedly felt that victory was at hand.In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Porto got a free kick in the frontcourt. Shi Hao's free kick accurately landed at Defour's feet at the back point, and Defour volleyed directly without stopping the ball.

In the end, Porto won the opponent 2:0 in the away game and got a good start in the Champions League.

But after the game, Shi Hao still received some criticism from the media, and it was still the old-fashioned words: why did he not have confidence in front of the goal, he forgot how to shoot and so on.

In the Baidu Shi Hao Bar, his fans feel that they have found the truth: Shi Hao is trying to transform from an attacker to an assister.

Neither is true.
