Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 185 Hat Trick
On the field.

The game has restarted.

Shan Yongzhuo's two consecutive goals dealt a huge blow to Australia, prompting them to launch a renewed offensive. However, Australia's performance remained somewhat disorganized, allowing China to create several attacking opportunities.

But this has nothing to do with Shan Yongzhuo anymore.

He stood motionless in the front field, patiently waiting for his skills to cool down.

Others couldn't understand it. Although everyone knew that Shan Yongzhuo was a very lazy player, with an average running distance of only 3000 meters per game, they still couldn't understand why he was standing still like this.

The Chinese players were somewhat used to this; they simply ignored Shan Yongzhuo and attacked on their own. If Shan Yongzhuo raised his hand for the ball, they would find a way to pass it to him.

Australia, on the other hand, is quite frustrated.

Even if Shan Yongzhuo remained motionless, they still had to sacrifice at least one defender to stay with him; they dared not relax their guard against Shan Yongzhuo in the slightest.

However, the opponent only sacrificed one attacking player, while they sacrificed at least one defensive player. With this disparity, they were suppressed.

Lucas Neal was the most cautious; he stood motionless beside Shan Yongzhuo.

At the same time, he was also shocked.

This guy is terrifying!

At this moment, Lucas Neal was extremely tense.

Not only Neil, but the other Australian players also dared not be careless about Shan Yongzhuo in the slightest. Although Spiranovic was also on defense, his eyes were always on this side, ready to come over to help defend at any time.

But Shan Yongzhuo remained standing still, truly motionless.

The camera frequently panned to the past, prompting the CTV5 commentator to remark, "Shan Yongzhuo is indeed a very lazy genius..."

"Judging from the two goals just now, Shan Yongzhuo is in very good form, and it can even be said that he is at his peak."

"But now, he's standing there motionless, like a fan who's wandered into the stadium by mistake, which is really hard to understand..."

Beside him, another veteran commentator, Zhang Lu, offered his opinion: "I don't think it's necessarily laziness. A player who can achieve something like this with a small bet is unlikely to be a lazy player. It's actually a strategy."

"Although Xiao Dan is called the laziest genius, he actually has another nickname: Rattlesnake."

"He often uses this method in the game to lull the opponent's defensive attention, and when Australia relaxes, he will attack."

"Like a rattlesnake, it usually hides in the shadows, lying in ambush, striking at the crucial moment to deliver a fatal blow..."

Zhang Lu spoke eloquently, and the other commentator and the viewers in front of the TV also felt that it made a lot of sense.

In reality, Shan Yongzhuo was truly motionless.

Although he has played football for almost three years, his tactical awareness is still quite poor. Without the necessary skills, he is generally too lazy to even run.

On the one hand, it's difficult to score goals, and in his view, running is meaningless.

On the other hand, his poor running may also have a negative impact on his teammates.

So he simply decided to stay still.

However, once the skill had finally cooled down, he began to move.

Neil noticed this as well and immediately became alarmed.

In the 30th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo started raising his hand to ask for the ball.

This action immediately put Neil on edge, his muscles seemingly on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Watch out!" "He's about to make his move!"

"Be very careful!"

"Matthew, come a little closer!"

Neil shouted loudly, not only to remind his teammates, but also to remind himself.

Spiranovic immediately followed, and the two of them tightened their defense on Shan Yongzhuo.

Dan Yongzhuo was double-teamed by two defenders. Normally, this kind of defense would not give him any chance, but his teammate still passed the ball to him.

Seeing the falling football, Shan Yongzhuo rushed over, controlled the ball with his back to goal, and then glanced at the goal behind him before the two defenders closed him down.

Before the ball even hit the ground, Shan Yongzhuo swung his foot and volleyed it with his back to the goal.

The shot was so sudden that the Australian players thought it was a pass with their backs to the penalty area.

After all, Shan Yongzhuo was 25 meters away from the goal and kicked with his back to the goal. Not only did the goalkeeper not react in time, but Neal and Spiranovic behind him also did not react in time.

That position, that movement.

How could it be a shot?
But the football shot up instantly, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and accurately heading towards the top right corner of the goal.

All anyone can do is follow the trajectory and watch the direction the football is moving.

Goalkeeper Schwarzer stands in front of the goal.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. All he could do was instinctively wave his hand, as if greeting the soccer ball.

3 is better than 1!

Amidst the shock of the entire stadium, Shan Yongzhuo stood with his back to the goal, hands raised high, without even looking to see if the ball had gone in or not.

This is a huge sign of confidence!

In all accounts, this is indeed rare.

And the ball did indeed go in.

This scene was captured by the media, and everyone was shocked.

The CTV5 commentator expressed everyone's sentiments: "It's Shan Yongzhuo again. He completed his hat trick in just 30 minutes."

"Moreover, this goal was just as spectacular as the opening goal that went down one lane."

"It was a backheel volley, and the ball went straight into the corner of the net. Australia had no chance to react."

"That's the power of a superstar. Although Australia has many star players who play in Europe, they still seem so ordinary when they face a superstar like Shan Yongzhuo."

"This is the power of China's best striker, the world's number one striker. With Shan Yongzhuo on the team, Australia has no chance of reaching the final!"

"Unless they can defeat Shan Yongzhuo!"

The CTV5 commentator was making bold predictions, while the Australian commentator on the other side said sourly, "The Chinese team is not a very strong team, and can only be considered a second-tier team in Asia. But they are undoubtedly the luckiest team on the planet because they have Shan Yongzhuo, the best player in the world. He can crush the opponent with his own strength, even if the opponent is a strong team like Australia."

"With a player like that, even the Chinese team would become incredibly strong immediately, and Australia would probably be no match for them."

"What's even more frustrating is that Shan Yongzhuo is only 22 years old this year. It's foreseeable that for a long time to come, he will be an unavoidable opponent for Australia. The Chinese team will be an opponent that Australia will have to face head-on in the future..."
