Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 145 The Next Unlucky One

The morning before the match, Tevez drove to the club.

He can be considered a relatively hardworking player. Born into poverty, he knows that everything he has now is hard-earned, and besides, his life is not easy right now.

He was originally Manchester City's top scorer and the team's core player; he was the leader of the team.

But starting in the summer, everything seemed to change.

For Manchester City, a team driven by short-term gains and driven by wealth, results are everything. Although Manchester City under his leadership has improved its performance, failing to win the championship is a failure.

In the summer, Shan Yongzhuo arrived and instantly became a favorite, which troubled Tevez.

What frustrated him even more was that Shan Yongzhuo's performance was simply too good, scoring ten goals in five league matches, an incredibly impressive statistic.

His record of two goals in five rounds is not particularly bad, but the worst thing is comparison. Compared with Shan Yongzhuo, his record is not good enough. Some small media even said in private that he is only one-fifth of Shan Yongzhuo.

Tevez, as a teammate, felt immense pressure because he felt he had been forgotten by the outside world.

Tevez was very unwilling to accept this.

Technically, Shan Yongzhuo is inferior to Tevez.

This is a consensus recognized by the entire team and even by outsiders.

Although Shan Yongzhuo scored a lot of goals, he rarely dribbled, and his passing and breakthroughs were only occasionally displayed. For most of the game, he gave the impression of being a player with rough technique, average speed, and poor ball control.

Although Tevez is not tall, his speed, dribbling, and physique are all top-notch. Logically speaking, there is no reason why he should be worse than Shan Yongzhuo.

However, Tevez discovered the biggest problem: his shooting skills were far inferior to Shan Yongzhuo's.

In Tevez's view, Shan Yongzhuo's shooting skills are unparalleled. Based on this alone, he has firmly ascended to the position of the world's number one striker, overshadowing the three superstars Messi, Ronaldo, and Kaká.

Therefore, Tevez worked even harder, and the focus of his efforts was on shooting.

He comes to the club early every morning to practice shooting, which has now become an essential part of his training. However, he has not seen any results yet.

"How did he do it? I've never seen him practice extra times..."

On the other side, Shan Yongzhuo, who had been nagged by Tevez, had just reluctantly gotten out of bed.

For him, extra training is impossible, even if they are about to play Chelsea.

Playing Chelsea?

Sorry, but we will win!

reason?

That's because of the sacrifice, of course!
After the fifth round of the league against Wigan Athletic, Shan Yongzhuo accumulated 1 point, and then added it to his stamina without hesitation, bringing his stamina to 20 points.

When the endurance reached 20 points, another effect was triggered, increasing each attribute point by one, and the shooting score naturally reached 100.

The shot count reached 100, triggering the sacrifice effect again!

Furthermore, due to the increased durability to 20, all skills have been enhanced.

First, the Golden Right Foot: the effect of shooting with the right foot has been increased from 40% to 50%, a 10% improvement.

Next is the effect of the Mighty Vajra Leg. Last time, it removed the blinding effect, but this time it increases the number of uses per match by one, making it usable twice per match under normal conditions. Following that, the Golden Bell Iron Shirt skill's enhancement effect on physical strength has also increased by 10%, making the body stronger and more resistant to injuries.

The stickiness effect of the Whirlwind Ground Kick has been increased to 5 seconds, which is a huge boost. With Shan Yongzhuo's current speed attribute of 59 points, it is almost possible for him to complete a goal along a path of about 30-40 meters in 5 seconds.

The final Ghostly Grab increases the time flow effect from 2.5x to 3x. The effect isn't particularly noticeable, but any improvement is a good thing.

What Shan Yongzhuo cared about most was the Sacrifice skill. Facing an opponent like Chelsea, he did not hesitate to sacrifice a little bit of his points to gain the Sacrifice skill.

In Shan Yongzhuo's view, the match between Manchester City and Chelsea will no longer be a fierce battle. Chelsea will become the third unlucky team to fall victim to the "sacrifice" bug skill, following Inter Milan and AC Milan.

I silently mourn for Chelsea; poor Ancelotti.

"Scoring goals against strong opponents is what truly demonstrates my strength. That's right, I'm not just a player who thrashes weak opponents..."

morning.

Manchester City's training is proceeding as normal, with the tough match against Chelsea just around the corner. Training focuses on warm-ups and tactical positioning, and there will be more free time for players to choose their own training methods.

Shan Yongzhuo found Silva, Milner, and Balotelli, and the four of them gathered together to practice passing, mainly with the three of them passing to Shan Yongzhuo.

As his fame grew, it became increasingly difficult for Shan Yongzhuo to receive the ball properly during matches. Generally, opponents would closely mark and tightly defend against him.

Therefore, the position of receiving the ball is very important. When Shan Yongzhuo chooses a rather strange position to receive the ball and then unleashes his powerful kick, the opponent is generally unable to defend against it.

This is the purpose of the training: to receive the ball near the baseline or even the corner flag and shoot directly. This is Shan Yongzhuo's consideration.

If you mark me closely in regular areas, that's fine, but if I retreat to the byline or even the corner flag, you can't keep marking me so tightly.

Once you get to that position, if the opponent relaxes, unleash your powerful leg kick, and you're in a relaxed state, the chances of scoring are still quite high.

This was Shan Yongzhuo's consideration.

Silva and Milner were puzzled by Shan Yongzhuo's training methods, but they still cooperated very well.

Everyone was new to the team, and Shan Yongzhuo quickly became the team's core striker, while the other two still had to fight for a starting position.

After all, although they are very famous, they are still not as good as Shan Yongzhuo. They need to work hard to integrate into the team and adapt to the team's tactics, otherwise they may not be able to guarantee a starting position.

So, are there any shortcuts?

The two of them thought of the same thing without prior agreement: to cooperate well with Shan Yongzhuo!

Shan Yongzhuo was very happy with the support of Silva and Milner. The two players are very good, and their passing skills are among the best in the team. With their support, he was sure that his tactics would be able to be executed well.

As for Balotelli, he just came up to us on his own, so Shan Yongzhuo simply ignored him.

On the other side, Mancini also saw this scene on the field, and he was quite satisfied with the four of them training together.

Silva and Milner are both the future core players on the flanks of the team in his plans, while Balotelli is regarded as the best attacking partner for Shan Yongzhuo in the future. If these four can cooperate well, Mancini believes that Manchester City will become an invincible team.

"Perhaps we could give Mario a starting opportunity?"

"Forget it, Mario is still too young, but David and James, we can let them start tomorrow and see..."
