Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 250 Opening Goal

After Shan Yongzhuo signed autographs for more than a dozen Lao players.

at last.

After warming up, as they emerged from the locker room, the referee blew the whistle to start the match.

The match officially began, and the cheers from the crowd grew louder, with a large portion of them cheering for Shan Yongzhuo. Although it's unclear how others felt, Shan Yongzhuo felt it was quite exhilarating.

The Chinese national football team's formation remains Gao Hongbo's proud 4-2-3-1, with Shan Yongzhuo still leading the attack.

The defender who came to mark him was a short defender who was less than 170cm tall, and he was wearing the captain's armband, so he should be the core of the Lao team's defense.

"Hello," Shan Yongzhuo greeted in English.

Lao team leader Phommavia looked at Shan Yongzhuo with some confusion, then solemnly mumbled a bunch of things, which Shan Yongzhuo didn't understand a word of.

This is a bit embarrassing.

However, judging from his expression, this guy was probably saying something like, "You're not going to get past my defense."

Shan Yongzhuo smiled and didn't take it to heart.

The Lao team is, after all, an amateur team. After the start of the game, they were completely suppressed by the Chinese team, and the Chinese team launched a fierce attack on the Lao team's half.

Then, half a minute later.

Shan Yongzhuo received a pass from Hao Junmin about 7 meters in front of the penalty area, and Pengmavia immediately followed up to prepare for defense.

As the captain of the Lao team and the player with the strongest defensive ability, he took on the responsibility of defending against Dan Yongzhuo without hesitation, hoping to improve his skills and experience by playing against the world's number one striker.

But the next moment, he realized he was wrong.

Suddenly, Shan Yongzhuo turned around, his movements clean and swift, and broke through Pemmavia's right side.

Just as Pemmavia was about to prepare to defend, Shan Yongzhuo had already positioned himself in advance, affecting Pemmavia's ability to turn and run.

Although Shan Yongzhuo's statistics are not impressive enough for a top league like the English Premier League, his strength of 70 and dribbling and speed of nearly 70, coupled with his rich experience in top leagues, give him a significant advantage when facing these amateur players, even if he doesn't completely overwhelm them.

Pengmavia found himself helpless and could only subconsciously tug at Shan Yongzhuo's jersey.

This is a subconscious action.

In fact, the lower the level of the game, the more dirty tricks players will use.

However, these lower-level players, especially amateur players, have a common problem: they use a lot of dirty tricks and dirty moves. But most of the time, these moves are not executed thoroughly, unlike top league players, who, if they commit a foul, will commit it completely and will not give the opponent a chance.

Pemmavia made this mistake; he tried to grab Shan Yongzhuo's jersey, but his fear of committing a foul prevented him from doing so, and he was easily beaten.

Can't catch up.

Shan Yongzhuo dribbled past Pampavia and entered the penalty area. Before the other center-back could cover him, he took a shot.

"Oh!"

The football made direct contact with the foot.

A white arc appeared in mid-air, heading straight for the right corner of the Lao goal.

Goalkeeper Jindana Susawa made a desperate save, but his anticipation was wrong. His save was more like a casual gesture towards the ball, which flew directly into the goal from in front of him.

"The ball is in!"

"Shan Yongzhuo!"

"Hula..."

Tuodong Stadium immediately erupted in cheers.

The CTV5 commentator immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Less than a minute into the game, or to be precise, 24 seconds into the match, Shan Yongzhuo scored China's first goal in their first attack!"

"Shan Yongzhu broke past the opposing captain, Pampavia, outside the penalty area, and unleashed a powerful shot from the corner of the box, scoring the goal!"

"This goal showcased Shan Yongzhuo's superb footwork and shooting skills." "No wonder he's the world's number one striker!"

"Shan Yongzhuo scored in just 24 seconds, with only his second touch of the ball throughout the match!"

"The Lao team's defense was practically non-existent for him!"

"..."

The commentator shouted excitedly, and the entire Kunming Tuodong Stadium erupted in cheers, with Shan Yongzhuo's name resounding throughout the stadium.

Dan Yongzhuo's quick goal gave the fans in the stadium a powerful boost of confidence. In fact, even the most disappointed fans did not believe that the Chinese national team would lose to Laos.

However, based on the national football team's past practices, even when facing such an amateur team, they may have a hard time winning, or even be forced to a draw.

Now, Shan Yongzhuo's goal has put everyone's minds at ease.

"As expected of Shan Yongzhuo, he's really amazing!"

"The current Chinese national football team is really different from before!"

"Of course, we have Shan Yongzhuo as our nuclear weapon!"

"What are you talking about? Of course my husband is amazing."

"What do you mean 'your husband'? Shameless! That's my husband, okay?!"

"..."

Amid the cheers and chatter of the fans, Shan Yongzhuo remained calm, waving and blowing kisses to the audience in a very gentlemanly manner, as if scoring a goal was a trivial matter.

Laos, on the other hand, was in a rather helpless situation.

No, to be precise, the only one who felt helpless was head coach Hans Peter.

The other Lao players didn't have high hopes for the game; most of them went on the field with the mindset of gaining experience. Now, with Shan Yongzhuo scoring a goal in just 25 seconds, they were mostly amazed.

Captain Pengmavia, in particular, marveled at Shan Yongzhuo's prowess and then instructed his teammates to be sure to cover for him.

On the field, the game restarted.

The Chinese team holds an absolute advantage, with a significant edge in terms of strength and lineup.

Although the Chinese national football team players are virtually unknown on the international stage, they are all professional players, including young players like Deng Zhuoxiang who have played abroad and veterans like Zheng Zhi who were key players in the English Championship.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is obvious, and suppressing Laos would be easy.

However, despite winning the Asian Cup in Qatar, this Chinese team still has many problems.

Poor self-control.

The Chinese team's poor midfield control is an obvious problem. In the previous Asian Cup, not to mention strong teams like Australia and Japan, even against teams like Uzbekistan, their midfield control was still not advantageous.

Chinese national football players often exhibit problems such as waiting for the ball too long and holding it for too long.

Fortunately, Shan Yongzhuo's scoring ability masked these problems.

Facing an opponent like Laos, Gao Hongbo naturally hopes to help the team better integrate these issues and improve their capabilities in this area.

The midfield core he selected were Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi.

As a defensive midfielder, Zheng Zhi is known for his fierce defense, active running, and abundant stamina.

In this match, Hao Junmin was placed in the central midfield position by Gao Hongbo, serving as a central midfielder and responsible for organizing and coordinating the team's attack.

Hao Junmin has outstanding footwork, is able to hold the ball, has a good overall view of the game, and has excellent long and short passes. The core of Gao Hongbo's tactics is to develop him as the midfield core, and to combine him with the attacking abilities of Yu Hai and Deng Zhuoxiang on the two flanks. The three midfielders will serve as support points for Shan Yongzhuo.

In this match, Hao Junmin did not disappoint Gao Hongbo.
