Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 174 The Great Demon King Unleashes His Power
On the field, the Kuwaiti players were somewhat bewildered and frustrated.

In a short period of time, Shan Yongzhuo scored two goals, which dealt a heavy blow to the Kuwaiti players.

When the game restarted, Kuwait did not change its defensive strategy, still keeping one player closely marking Shan Yongzhuo.

For Shan Yongzhuo, who is used to the high-intensity defenses of the Premier League and Serie A, such a strong defensive team posed little challenge.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't run too hard; he just ran back and forth around the edge of the penalty area and managed to create some space.

Shan Yongzhuo's coordination with his teammates was not good, but Kuwait's defense was really not up to par.

After Qu Bo lost possession in the attacking third, Zhao Xuri forcefully won the ball back and then took a shot forward. The ball was blocked by Yu Hai, and then he passed it diagonally to Shan Yongzhuo.

After receiving the ball, Shan Yongzhuo used a whirlwind ground kick to dribble past Hussein and rush into the penalty area.

Then, he swung his foot and shot.

When Shan Yongzhuo took the shot, Hussein had just turned around, and the other Kuwaiti defenders didn't have time to do anything.

A powerful, direct shot.

The goalkeeper reacted this time, spotting the ball immediately, but by the time it came hurtling towards him, he couldn't make a move because the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky.

"The ball went in again!"

"Shan Yongzhuo's breakthrough and shot sent the ball flying into the far corner. The shot was powerful and the angle was tricky, and goalkeeper Cardi had no chance to react!"

"3 to 0!"

"The match has only been going on for 25 minutes, and the Chinese team is already leading their opponents 3-0. This start is too favorable for the Chinese team!"

"All three goals came from Shan Yongzhuo; he was absolutely outstanding!"

The TV commentator shouted excitedly, and at the same time, the fans in front of the TV and at the stadium erupted in cheers.

It's important to know that the opponent is Kuwait, a long-time nemesis of China. Of course, most Asian teams can be considered China's nemesis.

However, with only 25 minutes played in the first half, the Chinese team is already leading 3-0.

This is really incredible.

Meanwhile, the headlines on major portal websites are flooded with comments.

"Wow, Xiao Dan is amazing!"

"This is terrifying. I feel sorry for Kuwait."

"That opposing guard must be crying, that ruthless little one."

"Great Demon King Shan, this is too much!"

"..."

Fans were buzzing with discussion, and almost all of them praised Shan Yongzhuo.

On the field, the Kuwaiti players were genuinely on the verge of tears.

They had high expectations for the match, but they didn't expect to encounter such a hellish start.

The opposing team's number 10 could score with just a slight chance. In less than 30 minutes, he scored 3 goals. How can they possibly play like this?
The eyes of the forwards, especially star striker Mutawa, were all fixed on Hussein Fadil, who was marking Shan Yongzhuo, and they clearly harbored some resentment.

Hussein was also frustrated. He had no chance against that ball. The opponent didn't even stop the ball when receiving it, which was beyond his comprehension.

To his teammates' lack of support, Hussein could only say dejectedly, "If any of you think you can do it, I'd be happy to switch positions with him!"

At this point, everyone else fell silent. Only the defensive midfielder, Fahad, stepped forward. "Let's all keep an eye on him!"

……

Kuwait changed its defensive strategy.

There were now two players next to Shan Yongzhuo. Hussein continued to mark Shan Yongzhuo closely, while defensive midfielder Fahd al-Ennezi also moved closer.

In reality, neither of them was particularly strong defensively, but when they teamed up to keep Shan Yongzhuo occupied, it wasn't so easy for them to make a difference.

For the next ten minutes, Shan Yongzhuo did not get a chance.

Kuwait seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

Kuwait also uses a 4-2-3-1 formation, and their attack relies heavily on their striker, Mutawa.

Mutawa joined the Kuwaiti national team at the age of 18 and became the top scorer. He is fast and has a strong ability to score goals. He is known as the "West Asian Eto'o" and is quite capable.

This match marked his 100th appearance for the national team, and he performed very positively.

Mutawa also demonstrated a threat.

Within just ten minutes, Mutawa completed two shots: one was a close-range shot inside the penalty area, and the other was a low shot from the edge of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the first shot was saved by goalkeeper Yang Zhi, and the second shot went over the crossbar.

Although Mutawa failed to score, his continuous threats still demonstrated his considerable ability.

The commentator also solemnly reminded the Chinese team: "China's defense must pay attention to Mutawa. Zhang Linpeng's rashness in the last few games has given the opponent opportunities. Such mistakes cannot be repeated. A striker like Mutawa is very likely to score once he has the chance."

In the attacking third, Shan Yongzhuo described it as the key area for Kuwait's defense.

The defense he's facing now is on a completely different level compared to the start of the game. It's not just Hussein and Fahad; other defenders are also keeping an eye on him at all times.

Shan Yongzhuo has been inactive for a long time, and people are starting to worry about his performance.

After a wave of attacks by the Chinese team was disrupted and pushed out of bounds, the TV commentator remarked, "Shan Yongzhuo is being targeted very seriously!"

"Kuwait has been guarding Xiao Dan very closely. Under such circumstances, Xiao Dan has drawn so much defensive attention, other players must step up, such as Yu Hai and Qu Bo. They must perform better."

On the field.

Shan Yongzhuo felt alright. This level of defensive intensity was actually nothing to him, much worse than the defense he faced from weaker teams in the Premier League.

At that moment, he scurried towards the corner flag with small, quick steps.

When the TV commentators and fans who knew him saw Shan Yongzhuo running towards the corner flag, their eyes lit up.

"We can see that Xiao Dan seems to be going to take this corner kick!"

The TV commentator's tone was very excited: "We all know that Shan Yongzhuo is a player who excels at scoring directly from corner kicks; to date, his success rate in scoring directly from corner kicks is as high as 75%."

"Now, he's heading towards the corner flag, let's take a look at the ball!"

As the commentator spoke, the cameras and the audience's attention were all focused on Shan Yongzhuo at the corner kick spot, while Kuwait was on high alert.

Without any hesitation, Shan Yongzhuo kicked out with a powerful kick.

The football soared high, seemingly heading towards the crowd in the penalty area, but after reaching its highest point, it plummeted downwards and changed direction, hurtling towards the far corner of the goal at an extremely fast speed.

Kuwait's goalkeeper was initially distracted by the direction of the ball and failed to make the correct judgment. By the time he realized the true direction of the ball, it was too late, and he could only watch as the ball rushed into the goal.
