Chapter 330 Defeated, Defeated, Defeated

Losing to a direct competitor in the league was a great blow to the morale of the Chelsea team.And Shi Hao suffered a loss in his first game as vice captain, so he was naturally unhappy.

But Game 8 put them back on the right track. On August 23, in the third round of the Premier League, Terry was absent due to injury, and Shi Hao appeared in the Premier League for the first time wearing the captain's armband.

Facing the home team West Bromwich Albion, Shi Hao made a tough move and scored a hat-trick in the 60th minute of the game.Then he assisted the new aid Pedro who made his debut to score, and Hazard also scored a goal at the last moment.However, the Blues' defense still had a lot of problems, with Begovic picking up the ball from the goal 3 times.In the end, the Blues defeated their opponents 5:3.

At Stanford Stadium on August 8, the Blues ushered in long-lost fans.After Shi Hao scored a goal, Cahill and Ivanovic made consecutive mistakes, causing the team to lose 29 goals in a row.Although Shi Hao assisted Costa to get a goal back in the 3th minute, it was too late. The Blues suffered their second defeat of the new season, and it was a home defeat.

In the game, Courtois suffered a knee injury, followed by news that he would be sidelined for at least four months, which was another heavy blow to the Blues.

1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, this is the worst start for Chelsea in recent years. Hiddink also seemed weak in the post-match press conference.

After this game, it was the national team match day. Shi Hao flew back to China to participate in two World Cup qualifiers.Although Chelsea are in poor form in the league, Shi Hao is in hot form.

On September 9, in Shenzhen, Shi Hao maintained a good state. His brace helped the Chinese team beat the Hong Kong team 3:2.

On September 9, the team went north to Shenyang, Jun Yingzhi scored a hat-trick, Shi Hao made a pass and made a contribution, and the Chinese team defeated the Maldives 8-5.

But the victories of these two games failed to satisfy domestic fans and media.

The media have questioned that facing such a weak group opponent, the Chinese team played so chaotically, scoring all depends on the personal ability of the stars, and defending all depends on luck.

After all, this is the group stage. If the Chinese team is still like this after entering the round of 12, then why go to fight against Japan, South Korea, Iran, etc.?

In the next group match, the Chinese team will go to Doha to challenge Qatar, the strongest opponent in the group.

This is a touchstone to test the quality of the Chinese team. Some media predict that if he fails to perform convincingly in this game, Perrin's coaching career of the Chinese national team will come to an end.

Shi Hao personally thinks that changing coaches just before the battle is not a good thing, but Pei Lan's level is really...not that he is not good, but that he really has no ability to lead the Chinese team well, and there is a problem with his team building ideas.

Perhaps, it is a good thing to replace him earlier, after all, no matter how you play in the group stage, you can qualify, and the key is the top 12 match.

After the game, Shi Hao flew back to London immediately, but after the examination of the team doctor, he thought that his muscles were too fatigued and he was not suitable to play the full 90 minutes in the next league.

Therefore, in the fifth round of the Premier League on September 9, Chelsea challenged Everton away. Captain Terry returned from injury and returned to the starting lineup. Shi Hao sat on the bench.Just 12 minutes into the game, Everton's Besic was injured, which seemed to be good news for Chelsea.

But soon the Chelsea players stopped laughing.In the 17th minute, Naismith, who came on as a substitute for Besic, made a header and gave Everton the lead.

Five minutes later, after Everton made a series of passes in front of the Chelsea penalty area, it was Naismith again. He shot with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area and pierced Begovic's ten fingers.

During the intermission, Hiddink was furious and cursed at several players who were walking on the field.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea's offensive still did not improve, basically being beaten by Everton.In the 55th minute, Hiddink couldn't sit still and made the first substitution adjustment, replacing Mikel with Shi Hao.

However, after Shi Hao came on the stage, he only felt weak.Hazard was obsessed with dribbling the ball, new aid Pedro and him have not yet formed a tacit understanding, Fabregas was marked to death.He can only use his personal ability to create opportunities.

In order to solve the offensive problem, Hiddink successively replaced Fabregas and William with Falcao and Kennedy, and switched to an extremely aggressive formation of 4114.

In the 71st minute, Hiddink's adjustment finally worked. Shi Hao's dribbling in the penalty area induced Stones to foul, and Hazard made a penalty kick.

Seeing the hope of an equalizer, Chelsea finally played better, but their defense still made frequent mistakes.In the 83rd minute, Barkley passed the ball. Naismith, who had already scored twice, was unmarked in Chelsea's penalty area. He easily pushed and successfully blocked.

In the 89th minute, Shi Hao broke through the bottom line and passed back in an inverted triangle. Matic shot from the corner of the penalty area and scored.

But neither side could rewrite the score in the ensuing time, and Chelsea had to return home with hatred.

At the end of the 5 rounds of the league, the British media was in an uproar.

Last season's overlord, the triple crown champion Chelsea, actually suffered 5 defeats in 3 league rounds?Is it the end of the world?
In the sixth round of the league, Chelsea seemed to have regained their form. On September 6th at Stanford Stadium, Shi Hao scored twice and assisted Eden Hazard to score another goal. Chelsea beat Arsenal 9-19. The miserable Wenger seemed to come here to send warmth when he saw that Chelsea was not in a good state.

After winning this game, the Chelsea dressing room, which had not heard laughter for many days, finally gained some popularity again, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

9月24日，轮换了一半主力的切尔西在英联杯的第3圈比赛中4:1战胜沃尔索。

Got the first two-game winning streak in the new season, and the car is on the road, right?It would be naive to think so.

The good times don't last long. On September 9, in the seventh round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged the Magpies away.In the 27th minute of the first half, Perez's volley shot in the penalty area broke through Begovic's ten fingers.Chelsea showed no desire to fight at all, and surrendered easily.

After the start of the second half, the Blues improved a bit and played a little more active on the field, but soon their defense continued to give gifts, and Begovic sadly picked up the ball from the goal for the third time.

How long has it been since Chelsea fell behind 0:3?This score seemed to sting the self-esteem of the Chelsea players, and they began to fight back.In the 79th minute, Hazard assisted Ramirez to score.In the 84th minute, Shi Hao scored again with a free kick.

But that's about it.At the last moment, Newcastle united as one and withstood Chelsea's offensive.The Blues suffered their fourth defeat of the new season.
