Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 152 Massacre
Chelsea's players were angry, but also frustrated.

Because they are now down 0-6, Shan Yongzhuo has scored 5 goals against them.

"0-6! Manchester City are leading Chelsea by 6 goals at home, with Shan Yongzhuo scoring 5 goals..."

"This was a blatant massacre. Although it's not the biggest margin of defeat in Premier League history, it will certainly go down in history..."

The rest of the game became garbage time, and the game itself seemed to have lost its importance.

But in the next 20 minutes, everyone at Chelsea, frustrated, turned into anger, and the most direct manifestation of that anger was that their actions became very aggressive.

The competition on the field became extremely fierce, and they didn't care about fouls at all.

The referee knew what Chelsea was doing. Trailing by six goals, their performance was normal. They weren't trying to equalize; they just wanted to score a consolation goal.

Therefore, the referee's rulings were not as severe.

Manchester City naturally understands this, and many Manchester City players even feel sympathy for Chelsea.

So, in the 83rd minute, Chelsea finally pulled one back. Anelka received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and easily got past Kompany, who was making a token defense, while goalkeeper Joe Hart was practically standing still.

In that situation, Anelka was practically shooting into an empty net.

1:6.

Chelsea have finally pulled one back.

But it's obvious to everyone that Manchester City deliberately conceded the ball, which can be seen as a form of respect for their opponents.

After all, not everyone is a heartless killing machine like the German team.

The match quickly progressed to stoppage time, and less than two minutes later, the referee decisively blew the final whistle.

Manchester City thrashed Chelsea 6-1 at home.

After the match, the game between Manchester City and Chelsea naturally became the focus of this round of matches.

Other matches were only briefly mentioned, such as Arsenal's unexpected home defeat to West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United's draw against Bolton Wanderers. Compared to Chelsea's almost humiliating defeat, these matches seemed less important.

After all, Chelsea suffered a major defeat, the worst in decades, which is what really attracted attention.

Media outlets from all walks of life have joined the frenzy, with many sports media outlets publishing reports immediately and various analytical articles quickly appearing on the platform.

At the Etihad Stadium, reporters were not going to miss the opportunity. Manchester City and Chelsea were the focus of attention. Chelsea's manager, Ancelotti, was naturally the most talked-about. There always has to be someone to blame for a big defeat, and that person seemed to be Ancelotti.

However, Ancelotti couldn't find any reason for the match and could only do his best to praise his opponent.

"I can only say that the opponent's number 10 is not on the same level as our players. Shan Yongzhuo is not an Earth player, he is a cosmic player who surpasses all players on Earth."

This claim was not accepted by the media.

Yes, Shan Yongzhuo is very strong, and they acknowledge that, but to say that he surpasses all players on Earth is a bit of an exaggeration.

Ancelotti was also helpless; the opponent's goals were all unreasonable, what could he do?

The loss had a significant impact on Chelsea. Firstly, they were overtaken by Manchester City in the league standings by one point, dropping to second place. Fortunately, Manchester United were held to a draw by Bolton and Arsenal suffered an unexpected defeat, which allowed them to maintain their second-place position.

The third team is Manchester United. After struggling at the start of the season and regaining their form, they unexpectedly drew the game.

After the interviews concluded that day, media coverage became more comprehensive, with various articles praising the Manchester City players. Among them, Shan Yongzhuo naturally received the most attention. Shan Yongzhuo scored five goals, shining throughout the match, and even Tevez's goal was attributed to his assist.

Although the last goal was entirely due to Balotelli's brilliant play, it doesn't matter.

Of course, Shan Yongzhuo has always been Manchester City's best player. After six rounds of league matches, he has scored a terrifying 14 goals, a number that has left no trace of any striker in any league.

"It seems this year will be another year for Shan Yongzhuo to dominate the Golden Boot..."

This is a consensus among everyone; the only difference is whether they can surpass last season's individual statistics.

……

After the match against Chelsea, the Manchester City team was quite relaxed and focused on training. After all, with the team consistently winning, the atmosphere within the team naturally became very positive.

After Monday, before the upcoming international break, Manchester City has two more matches to play: a Europa League group stage second round match against Juventus at home, and a league seventh round match against Newcastle United at home.

Mancini naturally hopes to win these two matches to solidify the team's position in the Europa League and the league.

Newcastle United are relatively easier to beat. They have only managed 7 points so far this season, placing them in the middle of the league table. They are not particularly strong, but they are not weak either. Winning should not be a problem for them.

The key match is the Europa League group stage game against Juventus at home.

Juventus are the toughest opponent in the group stage. They suffered a shock defeat at home in the last round, being held to a draw by Polish team Poznanhet, and currently only have one point.

Juventus are unlikely to give up so easily in this match against Manchester City.

However, Mancini wasn't particularly worried.

Juventus have performed poorly in the last two seasons. Last season, they failed to qualify for either Champions League title, even amidst the overall decline of Serie A.

Moreover, their team also has a super striker, Shan Yongzhuo, who has a lot of experience playing against Juventus.

Juventus finished only seventh in Serie A last season, after which Zaccheroni, who succeeded Ferrara, was sacked, and Sampdoria manager Delneri took over the reins at Juventus.

However, it seems that Delneri has done a poor job so far. Five rounds of Serie A have been played, and Juventus have only achieved a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Such results are clearly far from meeting the expectations of Juventus' management and fans.

Before the match, Juventus players gathered together, and Delneri conducted a half-hour tactics lesson to prepare for the game against Manchester City. The focus of the study was naturally Shan Yongzhuo, the world's number one attacking weapon.

Delneri takes Shan Yongzhuo very seriously. He witnessed Shan Yongzhuo's power when he was coaching Sampdoria last season. Facing this formidable weapon, it's hard for him to say how confident he is in tactically containing him.

Moreover, Manchester City's overall squad strength is stronger than Roma's, while Juventus' squad has not changed much, except that Bonucci, the new signing who cost 1550 million euros in the summer, has been given more playing time in the defense.

However, it seems a bit difficult to limit Shan Yongzhuo by relying on the combination of Bonucci and Chiellini...

What's even more alarming is that the Italian media sees it the same way.

Tuttosport has absolutely no confidence in Juventus, stating that...
"Shan Yongzhuo will once again play the role of Juventus killer."

"Chiellini will once again face his biggest nemesis. Although he has a partner like Bonucci, they will probably have a hard time limiting Shan Yongzhuo's performance..."

The English media went even further, unanimously favoring Manchester City to defeat Juventus.
