Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 124 Hard work is the key!

During the afternoon training session, Gao Hongbo decided to take another look at Shan Yongzhuo's shooting ability, also with the aim of letting him show his strength to his teammates.

Although many of his teammates had watched videos of Shan Yongzhuo's matches, none of them had witnessed it in person, and they were all very excited.

Sainty's goalkeeper Guan Zhen was eager to go up and guard the goal, wanting to see firsthand just how amazing Shan Yongzhuo's shooting skills, which were recognized by Europe as the world's best.

Young players Zhang Lu and Zeng Cheng also wanted to try, but Sun Xiang pulled them back and gave them a wink. He had personally witnessed just how unreasonable Shan Yongzhuo's shots could be.

Gao Hongbo instructed the staff to place the balls one by one outside the penalty area, and then let Shan Yongzhuo try to shoot. Guan Zhen, relying on his seniority, outperformed Zhang Lu and won the right to be the goalkeeper.

Shan Yongzhuo stood in front of the ball, feeling much better. Shooting—this was his livelihood. He gestured to Guan Zhen and shouted, "I'll kick this ball into the top right corner!"

"bring it on!"

Guan Zhen shouted with great fighting spirit.

Shan Yongzhuo immediately kicked the ball towards the side of the fisherman, and the ball went into the goal almost grazing the junction of the crossbar and the post.

Guan Zhen had no other options, but he was still very determined. "Again!"

Shan Yongzhuo smiled. "This time it's on the left, same position."

Then, another shot was taken, and the ball went in from the opposite side on the left.

Guan Zhen made a save attempt, but it was completely futile; he was even going in the wrong direction.

"Let's go to the right again this time!"

Guan Zhen got up from the ground, smiled wryly, and tried to save the situation again, but he was still helpless.

Next came shots from the left and right, each from the same spot. With Shan Yongzhuo's predictable pattern, Guan Zhen was even able to jump earlier, but unfortunately, the speed was too fast and the angle too tricky, and he still couldn't save any of them.

For Shan Yongzhuo, shooting from the edge of the penalty area was far too easy. With a shooting rating of 99 points, plus his golden right foot, and with no one interfering, he could shoot with ease. Even if someone knew his position, it would be very difficult for them to save the shot.

Because Shan Yongzhuo's kicking speed is too fast, the goalkeeper is always half a beat too slow or too fast.

All the teammates were stunned. Guan Zhen was so frustrated he almost vomited blood. He tried to pull Zhang Lu to switch players, but the quick-witted Zhang Lu had already run far away.

"Brother Sun is truly experienced!"

"Luckily I didn't rush up there, that would have been terrifying..."

Zhang Lu and Zeng Cheng exchanged a glance, both relieved that they hadn't played. The thought of facing Shan Yongzhuo's cold shot would have completely shattered their confidence.

In the next 25 meters, knowing this distance, Guan Zhen was able to make a few saves from time to time. Then, at 28 meters, Guan Zhen's saves became much easier, since the position was still too far away, but Shan Yongzhuo still managed to score quite a few goals.

By the time all the training was completed, more than forty minutes had passed. Gao Hongbo and the entire national team had gained a completely new understanding of Shan Yongzhuo's shooting technique.

Europe boasts that he has the best shot in the world, and he truly lives up to the reputation!
The other players were thrilled; with such an amazing player, scoring goals would be much easier!

Gao Hongbo gained a completely new understanding of Shan Yongzhuo and was able to understand what Shan Yongzhuo was saying.

With such amazing footwork, you really don't need to think about anything else when playing against most Asian teams. Just pass the ball to him whenever there's an opening and let him shoot.

"Scoring nearly 100 goals in a single season in Serie A, you certainly have the ability to back it up!"

In the following training sessions, Shan Yongzhuo indeed put into practice the idea of ​​simply passing the ball over.

During the team's training matches, he was like an outsider, but as long as his teammates passed the ball to him, Shan Yongzhuo could score with almost no effort.

In fact, Shan Yongzhuo didn't even use any skills.

Shan Yongzhuo currently has a strength rating of 59, which places him in the upper-middle range of the national team. His dribbling rating is also 58, only slightly lower than some of the team's most technically gifted players like Hao Junmin and Jiang Ning. Under these circumstances, it should be easy for Shan Yongzhuo to score goals.

Having honed his skills in Serie A, Shan Yongzhuo's experience improved rapidly. Moreover, he usually faced seasoned Serie A defenders, making it easy for him to find shooting opportunities and even break through the defenses of the national team.

This experience made Shan Yongzhuo very happy.

"So I can score goals on my own merits too! The national team is great!"

Shan Yongzhuo was very happy, but several national team defenders were not, especially the two center-backs, Wang Qiang and Feng Xiaoting, who were badly beaten by Shan Yongzhuo.

In a 30-minute scrimmage between 7 and 7 within the team, Shan Yongzhuo easily got four shots and scored four goals.

Gao Hongbo discovered that Shan Yongzhuo didn't seem to need to integrate into his tactics at all. When facing strong teams, the national team could simply play a good defensive counter-attacking game and find a way to get the ball to Shan Yongzhuo during the counter-attack.

Over the next few days of training, Shan Yongzhuo and his teammates became familiar with each other and were even able to joke around together.

As the biggest star in the team, Shan Yongzhuo is somewhat narcissistic, but he is also very easygoing and cheerful, and can easily get along with people.

However, as the youngest, everyone calls him Xiao Dan.

During training, news shocked his national team teammates: Manchester City and Roma simultaneously announced Shan Yongzhuo's transfer.

Shan Yongzhuo has joined Manchester City.

That's not a big deal. After all, European news has been hyping up the idea that Shan Yongzhuo will definitely join Manchester City, and the same thing has been happening in China.

Manchester City did not disclose the specific details of the contract, but only the transfer fee.

6500 million euros!
In the eyes of most fans, Manchester City is the most high-profile nouveau riche in the past two years, and their labels are "foolish and rich".

The team boasts a star-studded lineup, including Tevez, Robinho, Kolo Toure, and Adebayor—all highly paid signings by Manchester City.

However, the transfer fees for these stars were only a little over £2000 million.

Shan Yongzhuo is different; 6500 million euros!
This is great.

This has already broken Shan Yongzhuo's own record for Chinese player transfers, and he may even become the most expensive player to transfer this summer!
When Shan Yongzhuo briefly revealed his salary to his teammates, they were even more astonished.

They can only look up to that number.

Other players were fine, but some forwards couldn't help themselves, such as Gao Lin, Qu Bo, and Deng Zhuoxiang, who all asked Shan Yongzhuo for guidance on training secrets.

Shan Yongzhu could only earnestly advise, "You must work hard, persevere in your efforts every day, and practice extra every day!"

"Even on holidays, we can't relax!"

"Also, abstain from alcohol, pay attention to your diet, and absolutely avoid eating skewers."

"..."

The others nodded in agreement, thinking to themselves, "Sure enough, all the big stars are the same; hard work is the key!"

Shan Yongzhuo also gained a lot of admiring glances, which made him very satisfied.

soon.

At the end of May, the entire Chinese national football team traveled to Réunion Island, a French territory in Africa, where they will play a friendly match against the French national team.
