Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 115 Mancini

At the Northern Bank Arena, the Europa League final between Atletico Madrid and Roma is about to begin.

At the pre-match press conference, Spalletti expressed absolute confidence, while Atletico Madrid coach Flores was not to be outdone, stating that he would definitely win the game against Atletico Madrid.

Most reporters had a better impression of Flores. He was young, handsome, and spoke with elegance, making him a very pleasant person to be around.

Moreover, Flores spoke very practically, telling reporters seriously that the key for Atletico Madrid to win was to launch smooth and fast attacks down both flanks.

As for Spalletti...

With a bald head and a somewhat lewd smile, Spalletti talked a lot but didn't offer any real insights. Only the Italian media thought he had some brilliant trick up his sleeve that he was unwilling to reveal before the match.

However, once the match started, I stopped paying attention to these things before the match. After all, no matter how much you talk before the match, you still have to look at your performance during the match.

At the referee's signal, the two teams entered the field.

The east stand immediately erupted with cheers of support from fans, including Roma supporters, as well as many Chinese fans, including international students and overseas compatriots, who had come specifically to support Shan Yongzhuo.

Among these people, the most eye-catching were the long line of Italian cheerleaders in the front row, wearing Roma number 19 jerseys and miniskirts.

This is the most famous group in Serie A, the "Shan Yongzhuo Female Fan Sisters Group".

The German fans at the stadium were not surprised by this. These women first appeared at this stadium, and since then, they have come to support Shan Yongzhuo at almost every Roma match, becoming a unique sight in Serie A.

What's even more alarming is that this support group seems to be constantly expanding...

Judging by sight, there are at least a hundred Italian women among them. Although some are not so good, most are beautiful girls like peaches. What's even more frightening is that quite a few German female fans seem to be trying to sneak in.

This scene filled every man present with envy.

I've seen plenty of Roma players, and I've developed an immunity to them. Atletico Madrid players are different.

Aguero walked at the front, rubbing his head as he looked at the women, feeling incredibly jealous. "Diego, I think I made a mistake. I shouldn't have come to Spain; I should have gone to Italy."

Fran, standing to the side, chuckled and shook his head, saying nothing, but inwardly he thought, "With your height..."

"It doesn't matter where you go, right?"

Of course, Fran didn't say it out loud. Aguero was also quite handsome, but after looking him over, he felt that he was still a bit inferior to him.

With such good looks and height, even if he becomes a top star, it would probably be difficult to attract so many female fans.

However, the media's attention was not on the Italian women, but on some important figures who appeared in the stands.

Among them are some German legends, UEFA officials, famous club executives, and established star players.

Among the many important figures, several received considerable attention, one of whom was Cross in the VIP box.

Thomas Kroos is a well-known agent in Germany, but he wasn't considered a top agent in Europe before. Now things are different, because with Shan Yongzhuo under his wing, his influence has risen rapidly.

Accompanying Kroos were Manchester City chairman Mubarak and manager Mancini.

This scene sparked a lot of speculation among the media.

Since the Middle Eastern consortium took over, Manchester City has made a series of big moves, rapidly boosting the team's strength. Players like Jo, Kompany, Robinho, Tevez, and Adebayor have been acquired.
The arrival of one star player after another at Manchester City has brought about some changes to the Premier League landscape.

This season, Manchester City has already achieved a commendable fifth place in the Premier League, securing a spot in next season's Europa League.

Now that Mubarak, Mancini, and Kroos are watching the match together, the reporters immediately understand why. (Shan Yongzhuo!)
The only players under Toni Kroos's management who can be considered star players are German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Chinese striker Shan Yongzhuo.

If you've come to watch this match, then your goal is quite clear.

Manchester City have their sights set on Shan Yongzhuo!

This immediately made the reporter sense a big news story.

Previously, Inter Milan and Liverpool were considered the most likely destinations for Shan Yongzhuo in the summer. Although Manchester City had also revealed some news, it was clearly not favored.

Moreover, they have been pursuing Valencia midfielder David Silva, Barcelona defender Yaya Toure, Arsenal winger James Milner, and Inter Milan prodigy Mario Balotelli.

It seems that the nouveau riche have even greater ambitions now!
In fact, Manchester City and Roma have almost reached an agreement on Shan Yongzhuo's transfer to Serie A, and only the final formal signing is pending.

Mubarak and Mancini came here this time purely out of interest, wanting to see how Shan Yongzhuo would perform.

Thinking of this scene, the media couldn't help but marvel at how rich the oil tycoons really are!

Silva, Yaya Toure, Milner, and Balotelli—these four players combined are already quite valuable. If we add Shan Yongzhuo, how much would that be?

Easily reach hundreds of millions!

The media dared not even imagine it; they had witnessed the extravagant spending of the nouveau riche before, even offering 1600 million euros for a striker like him.

So how much will they offer for Shan Yongzhuo, the most insane striker this season?

It's worth noting that Shan Yongzhuo has already secured the European Golden Boot this season, scoring an astonishing 57 goals in Serie A and accumulating over 110 points. Messi, in second place, has only scored 34 goals in La Liga, a full 23 fewer than Shan Yongzhuo.

23 goals – that's enough to win the Golden Boot in many leagues!

Therefore, Shan Yongzhuo will undoubtedly become the hottest player this summer.

Now, with Mubarak and his two companions appearing together in the box, the answer seems obvious.

The media, with their keen sense of smell, immediately sprang into action, writing all sorts of reports. In their writings, Shan Yongzhuo seemed to be completely tied to Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Mancini, sitting in his VIP box, watched Shan Yongzhuo on the field with great anticipation, waiting for the match to begin.

He had high expectations for Shan Yongzhuo's performance because Shan Yongzhuo's goal-scoring statistics were too dazzling, dazzling enough to rival any goal-scoring machine in history.

"If he can maintain this level of performance next season, no, no, even just half of it, we will be fully capable of competing for the league title!"

"If he and Mario can come, we might be able to give up on Tevez, since he's been clamoring for a transfer anyway."

"Perhaps keeping either Santa Cruz or Adebayor as a substitute would be enough. He and Mario could form the strongest attacking duo in the Premier League?"

"Most importantly, can he adapt to the pace of the Premier League?"

"Based on various statistics, he is a player with a very slow pace and lazy running."

"How did a player who only runs 4000 meters per game manage to score so many goals?"

Mancini's mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts.
