Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 246 The Moment of Lifting the Trophy
The English commentator congratulated Manchester City on their title win, offering some official words of blessing before recounting City's journey to victory.

From the group stage to the knockout stage and then to the final.

From Dynamo Kyiv, Braga, Benfica, to this final against Porto, after commentating on each match, the commentator's tone changed to, "Manchester City deserved to win the title. They have a Europa League top scorer like Shan Yongzhuo. According to data analysis, Shan Yongzhuo deserves more than half the credit for Manchester City's victory."

This is not an exaggeration. In this season's Europa League, Shan Yongzhuo scored a total of 27 goals. Although this is a decrease from the 34 goals he scored when he was with Roma last season, it is still a terrifying number.

Shan Yongzhuo played a total of ten games, scoring 27 goals in those ten games, an average goal-scoring efficiency of 2.7 per game, which is terrifying.

Meanwhile, the CTV commentator was also talking about Shan Yongzhuo's incredible efficiency, his tone filled with undisguised admiration.

"With 34 goals last season and 27 goals in the world, Shan Yongzhuo has achieved a personal double title in the Europa League with 61 goals in two seasons."

"This season, Shan Yongzhuo joined Manchester City in the Premier League. He not only broke the Premier League season goal record, raising it to a staggering 66 goals, but also led Manchester City to another treble. He personally scored a total of 106 goals in all competitions this season."

"Cristiano Ronaldo, who is ranked second, has only scored 40 goals. He is 66 goals behind Shan Yongzhuo. In other words, Shan Yongzhuo only needed one FA Cup and one Europa League goal to catch up with Ronaldo. Ronaldo is one Premier League goal behind Shan Yongzhuo."

"As for the various Premier League awards, let's not even talk about them. This year isn't a World Cup year, and Shan Yongzhuo's performance is more than enough to win the Ballon d'Or."

"We don't know exactly how many awards he will win, but without a doubt, he is already the world's number one star, without question."

"What Shan Yongzhuo lacks now is a Champions League trophy. Manchester City will participate in the Champions League next season, so let's wait and see how he performs."

Amidst the CTV commentator's exclamations of praise, the Chinese internet was practically exploding with news about Shan Yongzhuo everywhere. He even topped the trending topics list, with everyone talking about his two consecutive Europa League titles and two consecutive European Golden Boot victories.

Netizens on various forums also praised Shan Yongzhuo, and many netizens even bypassed the Great Firewall to check Shan Yongzhuo's Twitter account and follow the latest news.

Chinese fans couldn't be more satisfied with Shan Yongzhuo's performance. Winning the Europa League and the European Golden Boot consecutively is a top-tier achievement, if not the best in Asia.

At this moment at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Shan Yongzhuo celebrated excitedly with his teammates on the field before going to the sidelines to be interviewed by CTV5. Winning the championship and being interviewed, especially by CTV5, Shan Yongzhuo had no choice but to go over.

Being interviewed by CTV5, which was broadcast live nationwide, made Shan Yongzhu somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, the reporter was quite friendly and didn't ask any difficult questions, which Shan Yongzhuo handled with ease.

“I’m very happy to win the Europa League again. I joined a new team this season, but the team is great. The coach and my teammates are very friendly to me. We are united and the whole club is very excited to win the treble. We persevered and won the final championship.”

"Although this isn't my first time winning the Europa League, it's always exciting and joyful to help Manchester City win the title..."

"I'm not leaving. I signed a great contract with the team, so why would I leave?"

"I will take a break in the summer, and then the national team will have World Cup qualifiers to play. Please support the national team and pay attention to my performance."

Shan Yongzhuo rambled on and on, and when he got back to the locker room, it was already in complete chaos.

The Manchester City players had already started their riot, each holding a glass of champagne, spraying, screaming, and venting their emotions freely; no one could control their excited behavior.

"Who the hell pulled down my pants?!"

"You bastard, who touched my butt?!"

"..."

Shan Yongzhuo also suffered a terrible fate, getting sprayed with champagne and even having his sneakers stolen and lost.

"Damn it, those sneakers could sell for at least 1 euros! That bastard stole them!" "Damn bastard, he was quick!"

“That’s mine. I reserved it with Shan a long time ago.”

"..."

After making a scene, Shan Yongzhuo could only shake his head helplessly, wash himself off, and then go out to receive the award.

The first to receive the award were the Porto players. Although finishing as runners-up was disappointing, the Porto players didn't seem too disappointed.

After all, they themselves didn't expect to reach the Europa League final.

Afterwards, the Manchester City players went up to the podium one by one, where the UEFA president hung the medals around their necks, and then walked down happily, waiting for the final moment of lifting the trophy.

When Shan Yongzhuo shook hands with Platini, the seemingly refined old man spoke a few extra words to Shan Yongzhuo.

"Your performance has been outstanding, and I look forward to your performance next season."

Platini was, after all, an elder. Although Shan Yongzhuo didn't have a good impression of him because of Mexes' brainwashing, he still humbly accepted his words.

Then, finally, the moment of lifting the trophy arrived, and the Manchester City captain accepted the Europa League championship trophy.

The excitement was palpable, and all the Manchester City players automatically formed an arc, waiting for the thrilling moment.

Even Balotelli and Silva, who were so eager, couldn't wait to kiss the trophy.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kompany accepted the championship trophy, stepped onto the stage, and surrounded by his teammates, slightly bent his knees, gripped the trophy tightly, and counted down with his teammates.

3!

2!

1!

With a countdown, Kompany raised the trophy high, all the Manchester City players raised their hands, confetti flew in the air, and the cheers of the fans reached their climax.

Although it wasn't Shan Yongzhuo's first time winning the Europa League, he was still caught up in the celebratory moment. Manchester City, as a team, desperately wanted the title.

All the players got the chance to lift the trophy, and Shan Yongzhuo was no exception. When he received the trophy, the entire stadium couldn't help but chant his name in unison.

However, Shan Yongzhuo did not kiss the trophy because it was already covered in too much saliva, especially since the person holding the trophy in front of him was Balotelli, which made Shan Yongzhuo extremely disgusted.

It was a night of celebration.

Not only at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, but also in Manchester, all Manchester City fans have opened their doors and taken to the streets, singing and dancing, excitedly dancing tonight regardless of whether they know each other or not.

As for Manchester United fans, they automatically stayed home, but they weren't disappointed. Although their noisy neighbors won the treble, it was only a minor treble.

They are looking forward to the Champions League final, hoping that Manchester United can defeat Barcelona and lift the trophy, so that they can properly mock their noisy neighbors.
