Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 127 Hat Trick
On the field, Shan Yongzhuo scored again.

To everyone, this goal was incredible. Shan Yongzhuo touched the ball with great difficulty and managed to curl it past Mexes.

His teammates on the national team were full of amazement and questions for Shan Yongzhuo.

As for the French team, they didn't blame Mexes. They had all seen what had happened, and the French players just found it unbelievable.

Mexes was extremely frustrated. He felt he had tried his best, but still couldn't do anything, which was quite discouraging.

For a moment, France was somewhat confused, but fortunately the first half was about to end.

Back in the locker room, Domenech called Mexes over and earnestly instructed him: "Stay with him. As soon as he crosses the center line, you need to guard him closely."

"Following closely."

Mexes nodded solemnly, feeling both happy and helpless.

The good thing is that Domenech seems to value him highly, as evidenced by assigning him to mark Shan Yongzhuo; the bad thing is...

"I can't keep an eye on it!"

Through those two goals, Domenech also deeply realized that it was no accident that this 19-year-old Chinese youngster became last season's European Golden Boot winner. His individual ability, especially his shooting ability, is just too outstanding, and ordinary defenses cannot stop him.

In the second half, Mexes became Shan Yongzhuo's follower, constantly marking him closely.

I will never leave him and will always stay close by.

Even after retreating a considerable distance, Mexes remained close by his side.

Shan Yongzhuo felt quite at ease, as he was already used to the opponent's close marking. Of course, under such defense, getting the ball was not so easy.

Finding opportunities has become much more difficult.

Shan Yongzhuo and Mexes fought and clashed several times, but Shan Yongzhuo couldn't gain any advantage.

After the start of the second half, France substituted Govou with Henry and launched a more intense attack on China's half, while the Chinese players were full of confidence.

"We have a small bet, so we'll just leave the scoring to him and focus on defense!"

This is what the vast majority of Chinese team players are thinking.

For them, being selected for the national team comes with enormous pressure; if the national team performs poorly, they will inevitably be blamed.

Now, they have a chance to beat the world-class French team, even if it's just a friendly match, it would be a great relief.

According to some accounts, vegetables don't have the right to breathe, and they are now fighting for that right.

The French team played somewhat hastily and disorganized.

Especially Ribery and Malouda on the flanks, they just kept dribbling after getting the ball, rarely cooperating with their teammates, while their midfield maestro Gourcuff seemed to be somewhat disliked by his teammates.

Moreover, Gourcuff has a major problem when he gets the ball: he's too slow. Whether he's making a breakthrough or passing, his pace immediately slows down after he gets the ball, which gives the Chinese national team an opportunity.

The Chinese team players love slowness the most!
The French team became increasingly anxious as the game progressed, while the Chinese team played better and better.

With this shift in momentum, although they didn't manage to turn the tide, at least the danger in front of their goal seemed to have decreased significantly, and they were able to launch one or two counterattacks.

The CTV commentator couldn't help but say, "The national team's performance has been getting better and better lately! The young players on the field have shown great energy; they fight fiercely, never giving an inch, and their counter-attacks are very well-organized..."

This is a characteristic of young teams.

Gao Hongbo's national football team prioritizes youth, with most of its key players being born after 85. While a young team may struggle when playing from behind, it often demonstrates greater fighting spirit when playing with the advantage.

As the Chinese team's counter-attacks became more organized, Shan Yongzhuo had more opportunities to touch the ball. Even though he was positioned at the very front and had Mexes defending him, his teammates were still able to pass the ball to him.

This time, Shan Yongzhuo found his opportunity. He glanced left and right, and as soon as he got the ball, he immediately activated the Ghost Shadow Grappling Hand, using the time difference to shake off Mexes.

Mexes was caught off guard. He felt as if Shan Yongzhuo had teleported away and left him behind in the blink of an eye.

Dan Yongzhuo charged straight into the penalty area, until he reached the edge of the penalty area, where Gala rushed over and pushed him down, ending the attack.

China was awarded a set piece opportunity.

This position is 25 meters in front of the penalty area in the middle, a very good position.

Mexes glanced at Gala and shook his head helplessly.

Giving a free kick from this position would just allow Shan Yongzhuo to score directly, wouldn't it?

However, Mexes himself had just been outmaneuvered, so he could only warn goalkeeper Lloris to be careful of shooting directly at the goal.

Shan Yongzhuo stood in front of the free kick, glancing at the wall and the goal.

This position was indeed excellent, a spot that Shan Yongzhuo was extremely good at. He took a few steps back, then took small steps forward, and shoved his right foot behind the ball.

The ball soared high, cleared the wall of players, and then, at its highest point, plummeted violently towards the corner of the goal.

"Look at this ball!"

"This is a leaf ball!"

"Lloris jumped up, but he couldn't reach the ball!"

"The ball is in!"

The CTV commentator's voice was incredibly excited, almost as if he were jumping up and down.

"Hat trick! Hat trick!"

"In the 77th minute, China led France 3-0, an unbelievable score!"

"Shan Yongzhuo is simply... simply unstoppable. As long as you give him the ball, scoring becomes very easy. The French defense is completely ineffective against him."

"This is Shan Yongzhuo, this is the power of a world-class striker. His performance can decide the outcome of a match!"

The commentator was at a loss for words to praise them by the end.

He really felt great!

This is the full-strength French team! When will the Chinese team be able to play like this?

Even though this is just a warm-up match, it's still so much fun!
Fans watching on TV were also very excited. Before the match, many fans were not optimistic about the Chinese team. Even with Shan Yongzhuo's arrival, they still did not think the Chinese team would change.

Now, they think it tastes really good!
With the game nearing its 80th minute, Shan Yongzhuo had already scored three goals, almost all of which were scored single-handedly, which was quite impressive.

At the same time, Chinese fans also felt very comfortable.

Our opponent was the French team, one of the top teams in Europe. Even though it was just a warm-up match, it was still great to beat them!

In the end, France failed to score a single goal, and China won 3-0 against France.

Although it was just a warm-up match, the appearance of Wang Shengfa from the Chinese team immediately made headlines across China.

Among them, Shan Yongzhuo's hat-trick in his national team debut became the hottest news, dominating the headlines of major portal websites.
