Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 109 Is this a one-time use magic?
The Roma players were also helpless on the field. After 30 minutes of play, the team was still trying to break through the opponent's dense defense, but the opponent scored first, making the rest of the game very difficult.

Next, Roma tried to organize an attack, as they needed to equalize the score first while trailing.

However, once the attack began, Roma immediately realized that Inter Milan's defense was simply too strong, making it extremely difficult for them to create fluid passing combinations and find opportunities.

Even when Roma lofted the ball directly into the penalty area, they were still at a disadvantage.

Neither Totti nor Shan Yongzhuo are players who excel at scoring in the penalty area; both are better at long-range shots from outside the box.

Another way to break through a dense defense is to have a player with a very strong ability to break through, which can tear apart the opponent's defense and create openings.

However, Roma doesn't have a player like that. Vucinic's dribbling is decent, but only just decent.

As the game progressed, Roma's attacks came like a tidal wave, but few posed a real threat, as evidenced by their shots on goal.

With 40 minutes remaining, Roma had a total of 7 shots, only 3 of which were on target, including a direct shot from Shan Yongzhuo's corner kick. Inter Milan, on the other hand, had only 2 shots but had scored a goal.

As things became increasingly passive, Shan Yongzhuo grew increasingly anxious.

He didn't get many good opportunities in the first half. He used his Mighty Leg kick during a corner kick, but unfortunately, the corner kick was saved by Cesar's brilliant save, wasting the skill.

The first half ended in the 44th minute.

Dan Yongzhuo had no choice but to try again. He received the ball not far from the penalty area, immediately unleashed a whirlwind ground kick, turned around to get past Cambiasso, and the ball, under the sticky effect, followed him in an arc.

Samuel immediately covered and closed in. Shan Yongzhuo made a lateral run, and Samuel stayed close to him, ignoring the ball and sticking to Shan Yongzhuo.

This is the defensive strategy that Mourinho devised for Inter Milan.

Mourinho has done a lot of research on Shan Yongzhuo. He knows that this guy usually doesn't break through, but once he does, the success rate is almost 100%.

Moreover, after Mourinho's in-depth research, he discovered that Shan Yongzhuo's dribbling and ball control skills were actually very impressive. He could often make unbelievable breakthroughs, and the ball would return to his feet through various curves. By using these unconventional breakthroughs to get past opponents, he could easily gain shooting space.

Therefore, Mourinho instructed his players not to focus on Shan Yongzhuo's unconventional runs when defending against him.

"No matter where he runs, just stick close to him!"

This is what Mourinho instructed, and that's exactly what Samuel is doing now. He doesn't even look at where the ball is; he just sticks close to Shan Yongzhuo, not giving him any space to break through or shoot.

Dan Yongzhuo was getting anxious. Samuel was sticking to him closely, neither fouling nor trying to steal the ball, just sticking to him and tightly guarding the space for shooting, which was a bit troublesome.

Cambiasso followed closely behind, and the two of them were about to closely mark Shan Yongzhuo. Once they got close, it would be very difficult to shake him off.

"no solution anymore!"

In desperation, Shan Yongzhuo had no choice but to activate the Ghost Shadow Grappling Hand again, and in an instant, the time difference became apparent.

At this moment, the ball reached Shan Yongzhuo's feet. He flicked the ball over Samuel's outstretched leg and followed it.

As time progressed, Samuel and Cambiasso naturally couldn't keep up, and shooting opportunities emerged.

Dan Yongzhuo didn't have time to think, nor did he dribble forward any further. He pressed down on the edge of the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot.

"You have to score!"

This wasn't Shan Yongzhuo's powerful shot, but his original shooting level was already unparalleled. With the added boost from his golden right foot, the shot went straight into the corner with great speed.

Cesar made a save.

But by the time he got into position, the ball had already flown into the goal. "Goal!"

"Shan Yongzhuo! Roma's goals still depend on him!"

"A truly brilliant goal! Shan Yongzhuo first dribbled past Cambiasso, then, despite Samuel's defense, created space and unleashed a powerful shot that directly breached Cesar's defense!"

"1-1, Roma has equalized!"

Shan Yongzhuo stood there with his hands raised high!
Meanwhile, Roma's team celebrated excitedly, the goal bringing them a huge sigh of relief.

Having failed to score and allowed the opponent to take the lead, the pressure on them was immense.

Shan Yongzhuo was somewhat troubled.

They've used all their skills, but only managed to score one goal, which is a bit troublesome.

When the game restarted, he simply stopped running as actively as before, just standing still in the penalty area, occasionally jogging a little, becoming a spectator on the field.

But Samuel dared not let his guard down.

He stayed close to Shan Yongzhuo, who was retreating, and dared not be careless in the slightest.

Samuel felt he bore a great deal of responsibility for the goal, because he was easily outmaneuvered by Shan Yongzhuo, allowing the opponent to score without him having any chance to react.

This made Samuel feel extremely guilty.

Cambiasso was left behind, which was exactly what Samuel expected.

As teammates in both club and national team, Samuel knows Cambiasso quite well. Although Cambiasso is also an excellent defensive midfielder, his ability mainly lies in tireless running, and he is not very fast. It is not a big deal for Shan Yongzhuo to be able to get past him.

However, according to the team's plan, once Cambiasso is beaten, then he becomes the key person to guard Shan Yongzhuo.

This was somewhat unacceptable to Samuel, but he was also puzzled.

The opponent was incredibly fast, almost like teleporting, appearing in another place in an instant.

"what is this?"

Samuel didn't quite understand, but he could get some clues.

There are also rumors in Italy that Shan Yongzhuo possesses some kind of magic, and it seems that some members of the Roma team are also practicing it, supposedly Totti, Mexes, and the newly joined Toni.

Samuel scoffed at this argument and even deeply despised Totti and others.

But now, Samuel felt that this statement might still make sense; otherwise, how could the other party have been so fast just now, as if they were on a completely different level?

Or perhaps, something like a spell that immobilizes you has been cast on yourself?

As one of the world's top center-backs, Samuel is very confident in his abilities.

Moreover, he had fought with Shan Yongzhuo several times and knew that Shan could only perform like this occasionally, and that his overall strength was actually quite average.

"So, this is a one-time use magic?"
