Chapter 345 He's Back
Although Chelsea only got a draw at Anfield due to Benteke's goal in stoppage time, the tenacious will and brilliant offense shown by the Blues at Anfield still made people shine.

"There is no doubt that this Chelsea team has found the rhythm of revival. As long as there are targeted supplements at the end of the season, Chelsea can still return to the ranks of championship contenders in the 2016-2017 season."

"China Stone's first start after his comeback, although he can't compare with his peak state, but there are still some impressive performances."

"Shi has gradually begun to adapt to the rhythm of the confrontation. In this game, he frequently engages in physical confrontation with the opponent and does not lose the wind. But we can also see that he still seems to be very worried about his knees, and it is almost impossible to see him doing what he did in the past. That kind of sudden change of direction, high-speed sprint action."

"Such a stone is good, but not good enough. He needs to play more games to adjust his condition, so as to be worthy of his worth."

"After playing 3 games after his comeback, Shi still failed to break the scoring drought-yes, for other forwards, it is normal to not score in [-] games, but for Shi, it is already a rare achievement. The ball is short. I hope he can score as soon as possible, so as not to lose the confidence and calmness of a top striker."

For those praises and criticisms, Shi Hao just cast them aside at a glance.He's just waiting, waiting for May 5st to come.

5月15日晚下午4点，2015-16赛季英超联赛的10场收官战役同时进行，其中切尔西在主场斯坦福桥对阵莱斯特城。

In the last match, Chelsea lost 1:2 to their opponents at the King Power Stadium, which seems to mean the handover of the championship crown.After that game, the morale of the Leicester City team was very high, and finally won the Premier League championship this season two rounds ahead of schedule.

Returning to Stamford Bridge, Ranieri received applause from the Chelsea fans, and the Blues players lined up to welcome him. He also accepted the gift from Cudicini, and Abramovich in the stands applauded him.It all seems to point to a friendly game.

But when the referee blew his whistle to announce the start of the game, another atmosphere immediately changed on the field.This game has nothing to do with the overall situation, Leicester City has won the championship, Chelsea ranked tenth, missed the European war, and there is no chance of relegation.There is no animosity between the two teams, but almost all the main players of both sides played in this game, because this is a battle of honor.

Chelsea want their opponents to understand that this season is our carelessness, next season, we want to win back the championship!
So Hiddink sent all the main players except Costa, Ivanovic replaced Terry in the central defender position, Azpilicueta served as the right back, single striker Traore, behind him is Hazard, Shi Hao and William lined up.

At the beginning of the game, Chelsea firmly took the initiative on the field.In the 3rd minute, Shi Hao made a bottom pass from the right, and the football hit Fuchs' hands, but the referee refused to award a penalty kick. Chelsea players and coach Guus Hiddink protested in vain, but failed to change the referee's decision penalty.

Five minutes later, Shi Hao retreated to take the ball and sent a precise long pass in the midfield. William stopped the ball in the chest on the edge of the penalty area, broke into the penalty area and shot a low shot out of the goal.

Although there was no goal, there was still a commotion at Stamford Bridge. The fans applauded Shi Hao's second pass and William's one-stop shot.

Leicester City's counterattack is also quite threatening. Mahrez has cooperated with Vardy very well this season. He sent good goals several times in a row, but Vardy failed to grasp it.In the 22nd minute, Vardy once again received a pass from Mahrez in Chelsea's penalty area. His shot was slightly higher than the crossbar, which shocked Chelsea fans.

But in general, Chelsea still firmly holds the initiative.It's a pity that Traore, who replaced Costa, seemed to forget to bring his shooting boots when he went out today, repeatedly wasting wonderful passes from Shi Hao, Cesc Fabregas and Hazard.

In the 26th minute, Hazard broke through and made a low pass. Shi Hao hit his heel after receiving the ball, and the football arrived in front of the goal. All Traore had to do was touch the ball lightly and hit the empty goal, but he held back his strength An anti-aircraft gun was fired. After 1 minute, Shi Hao made a diagonal pass from the corner of the penalty area, Traore ran to the ball sharply, and then he...flawed.

On Chelsea's side, William became more and more courageous as he fought.After his compatriot Oscar went to the Chinese Super League, William seemed to suddenly upgrade to a new level, and his role in Chelsea on the court became more and more important.In the 39th minute, the Brazilian and Xiaofa played wonderfully, and his cold shot was saved by Schmeichel.In the 44th minute, William forced a breakthrough and made a pass from the right side of the penalty area. Shi Hao in front of the goal easily ran into the gap, and took the time to play tricks. Under the interference of Fuchs, he kicked the ball into the empty goal with his heel.

This is his first goal since his return!Most of the Stamford Bridge fans stood up and applauded Shi Hao.Shi Hao didn't act too excited, he just didn't score in just three games, and he didn't realize the "anxiety" and "loss of confidence" described by the media at all.

After running to the sidelines to thank the fans, Shi Hao thought, what kind of reaction would they have if they knew I was leaving after a while...

The first half is almost over, but some people don't want to go to rest yet.In stoppage time, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside, broke through to the penalty area, and passed the ball to Shi Hao.Shi Hao leaned against Morgan with his back, picked up the ball with his left foot, then jumped up, turned around and slammed on the ball with his right foot, the football hit the net, and Schmeichel Jr. did not respond.

With a two-goal advantage, Chelsea entered the halftime break.Since Shi Hao fought fiercely in today's game, after being checked by the team doctor, he was deemed unsuitable to play again.Hiddink is as good as others, after all, the importance of this game... is zero.

In the second half, Pedro replaced Shi Hao on Chelsea's side, while Leicester City replaced Schlupp and Shinji Okazaki in one breath.A few minutes later, Hiddink made adjustments again, replacing Traore, who missed consecutive chances, with young player Abraham.

In the 65th minute, Matic was tripped by Schrup while holding the ball in the penalty area. Chelsea got a penalty kick. Schmeichel Jr. made a pounce in the wrong direction. Fabregas scored the ball and Chelsea led 3-0 Leicester City.

In the 81st minute, Drinkwater pierced the goal guarded by Courtois with a long shot, rewriting the score to 3:1, and this score was maintained until the end.

After the game, the media praised Shi Hao, who scored twice, "China Shi finally broke the scoring shortage, and the man who made Premier League defenders fear the most has regained his form!"

"He is back!"
