Chapter 208

"Paris Saint-Germain thriving?"

"Who can stop Paris from defending the title?"

"Another season that lost suspense prematurely, does it mean the decline of Ligue [-]?"

Sensational headlines appeared in the media one after another.

Last season, Paris Saint-Germain beat Marseille by 12 points to win the championship, and the gap was desperately wide.

This season, Paris Saint-Germain has been unbeaten in 15 rounds, once again showing its unrivaled demeanor.

A team that is too strong will cause the league to lose its competitiveness and suspense, which is undoubtedly a detrimental development for the entire league.

People once hoped that the local tyrant Monaco would act as a sniper, but Monaco fell behind; people also hoped that Lyon would act as a blocker, and Lyon also knelt.

里昂这个赛季的成绩虽然不算好，但在前14轮也是5胜5平4负积20分，位于积分榜的第4位。何以被巴黎圣日耳曼吊打到这种程度？
However, in the 12th round of the league on the night of December 4, Paris Saint-Germain finally lost, and the French media cheered.

巴黎圣日耳曼在客场0:2输给了弱旅伊维恩，而摩纳哥3:0战胜了尼斯，将和巴黎圣日耳曼的积分差距缩小到了2分。

But you have to see that this game is only 2 days away from the last game of Paris Saint-Germain, Blanco had to make a big rotation, Shi Hao, Ibrahimovic, Motta, Thiago Silva, etc. None of them appeared in the starting lineup. Although it was unexpected to achieve a defeat, it is also reasonable.

The key is that Paris Saint-Germain can afford to lose now, they are still ahead after losing a game, and losing a game will not lead to a collapse!
So after the loss, there was still a lot of laughter on the training ground in Greater Paris. The players seemed to be unaware that Monaco was chasing them in the standings.

This is a kind of self-confidence, a kind of self-confidence accumulated by countless victories.

It's been said that in the table, it's always the team at the top that feels the more pressure.This law has failed in Paris Saint-Germain.

Because they have Ibrahimovic, Shi Hao even when Ibrahimovic is not there, and Cavani even when Shi Hao is not there, any one of these three strikers has the ability to end the game and bring victory to Paris Saint-Germain.

Although some media and some columnists believe that this game will be a turning point for Paris Saint-Germain from prosperity to decline, but the game on December 12th slapped them severely.

In the 17th round of Ligue 6, Paris Saint-Germain, who returned to the full main lineup, bloodbathed Sochaux 0-[-] at the Parc des Princes!
In the 55th minute of the game, Shi Hao used an unsolvable free kick to send the football into Sochaux's goal for the third time, and staged his first hat-trick in Ligue [-]!With these three wonderful goals, he finally surpassed Ibrahimovic in the scorer list and dominated the top spot.

"Best of all: Fantastic Chinese kid!"

"15 games and 15 goals, Paris has found Ibrahimovic's successor!"

On the training ground, Da Fengxian turned his back to the sky, humming in his nose: "See, the media said you are my successor. But, hum, you are still a little bit worse."

Shi Hao smiled: "There is a saying in China that goes, 'The back waves of the Yangtze River push up the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach'."

It took Ibrahimovic a lot of effort to understand, and his face suddenly changed: "You mean you want to replace me? Let me tell you, I am irreplaceable."

"That's right," Shi Hao blinked, "By the way, don't run away after this season is over, you won't be allowed to go on vacation until you run naked!"

Ibrahimovic's face turned livid: "It's not certain who is running naked."

The content of their bet is the total number of goals scored throughout the season, not just league goals.

到目前为止，石浩已经在出场的20场比赛中打进15个联赛进球，7个欧冠进球；伊布则在他出场的21场比赛中打进了13个联赛进球，5个欧冠进球。

No matter how you look at it, Shi Hao is far ahead. Although Ibrahimovic didn't show it, he must still be quite uneasy.

On December 12th, Paris Saint-Germain, who had four wins and one draw in the UEFA Champions League group stage and accumulated 10 points, had already decided to qualify ahead of schedule as the group's No.Ibrahimovic, who volunteered to play anyway, scored Paris Saint-Germain's only goal.

But Benfica, who worked hard, failed to qualify. They and Olympiacos had the same 10 points, but they were eliminated by Olympiacos due to the relationship between each other. They had to play in the Europa League.

This defeat did not affect the mood of Paris Saint-Germain. They defeated Rennes 18:4 away in the next 1th round of the league.

Shi Hao and Ibrahimovic scored one goal each, and Shi Hao still maintained the advantage of 3 goals against Ibrahimovic.

After the match, Shi Hao returned home and nervously watched the UEFA Champions League round of [-] draw ceremony at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland through live webcast.

There are many strong teams in the second place in the group of this competition. There are Manchester City with 5 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, which is inferior to Bayern Munich. There is the real Serie A giants AC Milan. Last season's Bundesliga runner-up Schalke 04.

How far Paris Saint-Germain can go and whether it can avoid the fate of not being able to enter the top 8 depends on the result of the draw.

Fortunately, Paris Saint-Germain did not face any of the above teams.They will face Leverkusen, who was third in the Bundesliga last season.

Although from the experience of the Champions League in recent years, Leverkusen seems to have a little advantage over Paris Saint-Germain who has just returned to the Champions League, but from the comparison of strength, the two teams are simply not at the same level.

The result of the draw made the Paris Saint-Germain players full of confidence, and Blanco also showed unconcealed joy in the next few days of training.

12月19日，大轮换的巴黎圣日耳曼在法国联赛杯16强的比赛中通过加时赛2:1淘汰了圣埃蒂安，顺利进入下一轮。

Paris Saint-Germain, which is progressing smoothly in all competitions, has more or less arrogance. Most players are already looking forward to reuniting with their families at Christmas and vacationing with their wives and girlfriends. In the last league game before the winter break on December 12, they were forced 23:1 by Lille in the first half.If it weren't for Mawuba's own goal, they would even be behind.

Blanco lashed out at the team at halftime.In the previous day's game, Monaco lost 1:2 at home to Valenciennes, and he needed the team to win a victory to stabilize the lead.

After the start of the second half, Paris Saint-Germain woke up like a dream and began to gradually control the rhythm of the game.

In the 56th minute, Shi Hao received the ball on the left edge of the penalty area after passing consecutive kicks.He didn't stop the ball, and turned halfway to sweep the ball. The football passed through the gap and came to Verratti's feet accurately.

Verratti calmly stopped the ball and aimed a shot at Enyeyama's crotch, giving Paris Saint-Germain the lead.
