Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 133 Why away from me?

Tevez glared at Shan Yongzhuo with a hostile look in his eyes, showing no intention of giving up the free kick.

Dan Yongzhuo didn't care and ran back to the penalty area on his own.

Anyway, he was just trying it out. Even without his powerful kick, Shan Yongzhuo has a very high chance of getting a free kick from this position.

Tevez wouldn't give way, so there was nothing that could be done. Shan Yongzhuo didn't want to start a conflict over a free kick.

"asshole."

Tevez muttered something under his breath, then, upon hearing the referee's whistle, jogged a few steps and kicked the ball away.

The free kick was of good quality; the ball went over the wall and headed towards the right side of the goal.

However, Gomez was prepared. He leaped high and tipped the ball over the crossbar with one hand, giving Manchester City a corner kick.

"Now you won't have to argue anymore, right..."

Shan Yongzhuo glanced at Tevez, then jogged towards the corner flag.

Manchester City's corner kicks are usually taken by the wingers. Barry had already arrived at the corner flag when he saw Shan Yongzhuo running over there.

"Let me try."

"You?" Barry was a little stunned. "Shouldn't you be going in to grab some points?"

"I'm in great form, and I think I can score directly."

"That's what Shan Yongzhuo said."

Barry was stunned for a long time after hearing that sentence.

Can it be a direct goal?
You must be joking!

However, Barry immediately recalled something: he had read reports that Shan Yongzhuo had reportedly scored many goals directly from corner kicks in Serie A and the Europa League.

"OK then……"

Barry ran off toward the penalty area without a care in the world. Shan Yongzhuo was the team's star player and had even scored a goal. It was just a corner kick anyway, so it didn't matter if he took it.

Dan Yongzhuo took a deep breath, activated his Mighty Vajra Leg, and kicked the ball out with great force.

The football suddenly soared into the air and flew towards the center of the penalty area.

"That was a cross... wait!"

The Sky Sports commentator realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

After the ball reached the center of the penalty area, its downward speed increased rapidly, and it spun violently as it headed towards the far corner of the goal.

Everyone was focused on the ball, and it wasn't until then that Gomez reacted and rushed towards it.

But, it's too late.

The football spun and went into the goal.

"Wow..."

The stadium erupted in uproar.

"My God! A corner kick goes straight into the goal!" The commentator reacted immediately, but didn't shout, only marveled.

The other people on the field were the same; they remained silent for a full two seconds before the field erupted in noise.

Manchester City fans naturally cheered wildly, while Tottenham fans were discussing the situation with a mix of frustration and shock.

The Tottenham players on the field were all incredulous.

His teammates rushed to Shan Yongzhuo's side to celebrate and discuss in surprise, with Barry being the most excited.

"This isn't luck!"

"He just told me he's absolutely certain of winning!"

"That's a direct, single-handed breakthrough!"

"Wow, you're amazing!"

"..." Dan Yongzhuo didn't pay much attention to his teammates' exclamations. He had already lifted up his jersey, revealing a blue shirt with white English lettering underneath. He even exchanged a smile with Balotelli on the sidelines, who returned a thumbs-up.

Now that he's scored two goals, Shan Yongzhuo feels he has the right to show off a little. Although this short shirt is a rip-off of Balotelli's style from later years, it's still a pretty good way to celebrate.

Perhaps, it can become a unique way of doing things?

"Why are you away from me?"

Everyone saw the shirt, and the Sky Sports commentator exclaimed, "Shan Yongzhuo certainly has the right to say that. He has already scored two goals, one of which was an unbelievable direct goal from a corner kick. Actually, I also want to ask, why is it always him who scores?"

Tottenham fans were not happy; they booed, but their enthusiasm was clearly low.

Yes.

He's scored two goals already, so he certainly has the right to say that.

The CTV5 commentator chuckled and said, "We can see that the clothes Shan Yongzhuo is wearing inside have 'Why is it always me?' printed on them in English..."

"This was prepared before the match, and it shows Xiao Dan's confidence in the game. He firmly believed that he could score, so he wore this jersey. Now he has done it, scoring twice in the first half. His Premier League debut was perfect."

"That's the confidence of the world's best striker!"

Fans online are also discussing this extensively.

"Master Shan is awesome!"

"Why is it always me? Is Master Shan getting too cocky?"

"But it's always Shan who scores!"

"Tevez missed such a good free kick, but scored directly from a tight corner kick, it's just..."

"Tevez is crying his eyes out in the toilet."

"..."

Just like Chinese fans said, Tevez was indeed extremely frustrated at this moment.

The free kick was in a very good position, and the quality of the kick was also very high. It's understandable that it didn't go in; a 25% success rate for this kind of shot would be pretty good.

However, Shan Yongzhuo's corner kick went straight into the net.

This left Tevez frustrated, but also gave him a profound understanding of Shan Yongzhuo.

"This guy isn't just relying on luck; he's genuinely skilled. That footwork is terrifying!"

Mancini on the sidelines shared the same thought, his heart filled with ecstasy. While Shan Yongzhuo's first goal could be attributed to Ledley King's mistake, this goal was a complete display of skill.

No matter how inconspicuous Shan Yongzhuo's performance on the field may be, the most important thing is that he can still score goals.

Manchester City didn't play well in the first half; they were completely dominated by Tottenham. However, Manchester City were in the lead, and they were already two goals ahead by halftime.

"That's a super shooter! He single-handedly changed the game!"

Mancini could only sigh like this. He considered himself a very successful striker in his career, but now he realized that he was far inferior to Shan Yongzhuo.

On the other hand, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp had very mixed feelings.

As last season's Premier League Manager of the Year, Redknapp is eager to lead Tottenham to even greater heights this season, not only to stay in the top four but also to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

He didn't take Manchester City seriously in this match, believing that their mercenary strategy wouldn't work.

The game unfolded exactly as he had predicted, with Tottenham dominating the field and completely suppressing Manchester City.

However, they are now down by two goals.

Looking at the opposing team's number 10, and then at his own Crouch and Defoe, Redknapp felt a pang of envy for Mancini.

"Damn it, if only the team could have signed him in the summer..."

However, Redknapp only thought about it for a moment; he was aware of the team's situation.

Tottenham Hotspur are not only poor, but their owners are also incredibly stingy.

Spending 6500 million euros to buy a striker?
A net annual salary of tens of millions of pounds?
No, no, no, Tottenham would never make such a deal.
