Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 135 Ultimate Move: Confusion

Shan Yongzhuo's goal came in the 80th minute and was essentially just icing on the cake.

However, this goal was scored by Shan Yongzhuo through his individual skill, breaking through to the edge of the penalty area and shooting, which immediately left a deep impression. This can be said to be Shan Yongzhuo's signature goal-scoring method.

Silva was deeply impressed by Shan Yongzhuo's goal, not just because he got an assist.

Silva partnered with Villa at Valencia, and he couldn't help but compare Shan Yongzhuo to Villa.

In Silva's view, both players are the kind of strikers who are not physically outstanding but are very threatening, but their styles are completely different.

Villa is the kind of striker who is very calm in front of goal, has excellent technique, and is very good at breaking through defenses.

However, Shan Yongzhuo...

In Silva's view, Shan Yongzhuo is inferior to Villa in every aspect, but he is the kind of striker who has honed his shooting skills to the extreme. As long as he is given a chance, he will be able to score a goal.

Such a player is far more dangerous than a striker like Villa who constantly attacks the opponent's defense.

"Maybe, if things continue like this, I can become the assist king?"

Seeing Shan Yongzhuo's performance, Silva couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

He is a new signing who came to Manchester City with a high transfer fee and is under a lot of attention and pressure. Now, he feels that he has found a way to perform well.

"That's right, I need to get along well with DanDan in the future and practice our teamwork more, especially how to pass the ball to him comfortably!"

Shan Yongzhuo scored the third goal, giving Manchester City a 3-0 lead over Tottenham away from home, which shocked the media and fans.

After the match resumed, the camera frequently pointed at Shan Yongzhuo, giving him a lot of screen time.

Premier League newcomer.

Debut.

hat trick.

That's really amazing.

Tottenham are no pushovers.

The game was still going on, but that was no longer important; many media outlets that were following the game were talking about Shan Yongzhuo.

"Shan Yongzhuo's transfer fee and multi-million pound annual salary were met with considerable skepticism, after all, he was only 20 years old and had shone in Serie A for a season. Whether he could adapt to the Premier League and maintain his form was a question. Manchester City took a gamble."

"But now it seems that Manchester City made the right bet."

"Perhaps, as Shan Yongzhuo himself said, why is it always him? He's a striker with an incredibly high goal-scoring efficiency!"

"..."

The transfer of Shan Yongzhuo has indeed been met with some skepticism. The €6500 million price tag is not the main reason; the key issue is that his salary is too high, even higher than that of Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez and new signing Yaya Toure.

This is somewhat hard to accept.

Tevez transferred from Manchester United and proved his ability last season, while Yaya Toure is the core of Barcelona's defense and his ability is widely recognized.

Shan Yongzhuo is just a young player who shone for one season, and that was in the Italian Serie A, which was in a serious decline. Some media and fans will still question why he is receiving such a high salary.

Even though Shan Yongzhuo broke goal-scoring records in Serie A and the Europa League, it was still difficult to convince some stubborn English media. It wasn't just his age; the Chinese player and the Austrian youth training system were the most questioned aspects.

The most successful Chinese player in the Premier League is former Manchester City player Sun Jihai. However, Sun Jihai has always been a player who is between the core and the substitute of Manchester City, and he was still the Manchester City team that was fighting to avoid relegation.

There was also Dong Fangzhuo from Manchester United, who was handpicked by Ferguson and received a lot of attention at the time.

Subsequent events proved that Chinese players could not succeed in the Premier League. Their brilliance in Serie A, however, was also a point of contention in the eyes of the English media.

Strikers from Serie A rarely succeed abroad; even Ronaldo's performance actually declined after leaving Inter Milan.

With the Premier League and Serie A's points competition becoming increasingly fierce, the English media naturally looked down on Serie A.

Although Shan Yongzhuo came from the Austrian youth training system, he made his breakthrough in Serie A, which is one of the reasons.

Now, Shan Yongzhuo has proven himself with goals, proving that he fully deserves a high salary and has shown no signs of being unaccustomed to the Premier League.

Manchester City Football Club.

Chairman Mubarak and owner Mansour were also watching the match, and both were very satisfied with the result.

Mansour also highly praised Mubarak's decision to spend heavily to bring in Shan Yongzhuo, which made Mubarak very happy.

“Kaldun, you did the right thing. He will become a symbol of Manchester City.” Mansour said to Mubarak with a smile. “To be honest, I was a little worried when you brought in this Chinese player, but now it seems that you were right.”

"Of course, Mr. Sheikh, he is outstanding." Mubarak said casually, "We made a very serious evaluation before making the final decision. He will become a player who can rival Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. I believe that if we keep him at Manchester City, we will become the strongest team in Europe in no time."

"Okay, I hope you're right."

Meanwhile, the match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur has also ended, with Manchester City winning 0-3 at White Hart Lane.

At the same time, news media covering the match immediately sent back reports, and the news was immediately filled with various headlines about the match.

Manchester City secured a resounding away victory against Tottenham, achieving a winning start to the league season!

"Summer signing completes hat-trick in his first start, a perfect performance in his Premier League debut!"

Manchester City are unstoppable and show title-winning potential!

"..."

The match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur was the highlight of the first round, but the result was completely unexpected. Judging from the score, Tottenham Hotspur seemed to have no chance to fight back, and Shan Yongzhuo, who scored a hat-trick, became the focus of attention.

Many people were amazed by Shan Yongzhuo's performance, especially his direct goal from the second corner kick, which proved his unparalleled shooting skills.

His undershirt, along with the English words "why aways me" on it, immediately became a hot topic.

At the post-match press conference, Shan Yongzhuo and Mancini attended together.

When asked by the media about the inner shirt, Shan Yongzhuo smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it was a gift from Balotelli. He said I should wear it, and I thought he made a good point, so I wore it."

"Actually, I'm also quite helpless. I can't refuse my teammates' good intentions, but in reality, I don't think I can keep scoring goals."

"I played well in this game, but the opponent's defense put a lot of pressure on me. I was almost invisible for most of the game. I didn't expect the intensity of the competition in the Premier League."

"Maybe I won't score in the next game. If I can't adapt to the Premier League quickly, I might soon go into a goal drought..."

Blah blah blah.

Shan Yongzhuo said a lot, once again using the same trick he used when he first joined Serie A, which was confusing.

"Look, I'm keeping such a low profile, you shouldn't be keeping such a close watch on me anymore, right?"

Thinking about this, Shan Yongzhuo couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

Thank you so much "wuxinglin" for the generous donation! You're awesome!

I was away from home for the May Day holiday, so there were fewer updates. Please forgive me.
