Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 273 Classics on the Football Field

At Old Trafford, the score became 0-1, with Manchester City taking the lead as the away team.

On the sidelines, Mancini let out a long roar; this time, he felt incredibly happy.

Mancini glanced at Ferguson on the other side and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Aren't you just all talk?

Didn't you say I'm nothing special?
That's right, I'm nothing special, but I have Shan Yongzhuo!
At this moment, Mancini had a somewhat smug look about him.

After a brief celebration by Manchester City, the match continued.

Manchester United were not affected by the goal. Although they were behind, the game had only been going on for seven minutes, and there was still time to catch up.

However, Evans was criticized by his teammates, so he stayed even more carefully by Shan Yongzhuo's side, no longer daring to be careless in the slightest.

Shan Yongzhuo remained standing still, like an old monk in meditation, seemingly just a spectator on the field.

Evans didn't understand his actions, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he could only follow Shan Yongzhuo without moving, but he was in a state of high tension.

The two teams continued their back-and-forth attacking battle.

On Manchester United's side, Rooney was in good form today, and Kompany seemed to have no advantage in his duels with him. In the following part of the game, Rooney had two very threatening shots that almost broke through Manchester City's goal.

Another prominent figure was Welbeck.

Welbeck has excellent footwork and is very fast, which made things a bit difficult for Mexes.

Fortunately, this guy plays very selfishly and his shooting skills are really bad, otherwise Manchester City would probably have conceded a goal long ago.

However, Manchester City's attack was also quite effective.

Especially after Aguero moved slightly to the left wing, his partnership with Silva demonstrated a strong attacking level and posed a significant threat to Manchester United.

However, in the 16th minute, Aguero and Silva combined again, with the two switching positions. After receiving the ball, Aguero shook off Ferdinand and moved towards the wing, while Silva made a run into the middle.

Silva then received a pass from Aguero, dribbled past Ferdinand, and unleashed a powerful shot, which was unfortunately saved by De Gea and went out for a corner.

Silva was about to head towards the corner flag when he saw Shan Yongzhuo running there as well, so he instinctively returned to the penalty area.

Manchester City's corner kicks are usually taken by Silva, but there are exceptions.

In almost every match, Shan Yongzhuo takes one corner kick, and most of the time, his corner kicks turn into goals.

Although it's only once per game, Shan Yongzhuo's corner kick scoring rate is over 70%, so Silva is very reassured when he sees Shan Yongzhuo heading towards the corner spot.

Manchester United, on the other hand, are on high alert.

Anyone on this planet who cares about football knows how amazing Shan Yongzhuo's corner kicks are; his corner kicks are even called "Shan-style corner kick goals," a unique skill belonging to him.

Manchester United dare not relax for a moment when faced with a man who turns scoring directly from a corner kick into a signature move.

Especially De Gea.

He experienced Shan Yongzhuo's terror firsthand at both Atletico Madrid and Manchester United, especially his ability to score directly from corner kicks, where Shan Yongzhuo scored three times.

This time, De Gea silently vowed in his heart that he must hold onto this ball!
Shan Yongzhuo kicked a corner kick.

Just like usual, the ball headed straight for the crowd in the penalty area. It was very high and the trajectory was somewhat unpredictable, making it difficult to judge!
"coming!"

At that moment, De Gea made his decision.

Based on his general experience, when the ball reaches its highest point, it will suddenly plummet downwards and then fly in a very strange trajectory, either towards the far corner or the near corner, always hitting the corner directly.

De Gea's judgment was correct this time, and he sprinted towards the far corner.

"Have it!"

De Gea felt a surge of joy the moment his glove touched the football.

But the next moment, his joy vanished. Although he touched the ball, it bounced off the post and flew into the opposite goal. Goal!
"Hoohoo!"

The crowd erupted in uproar, with Manchester United fans deeply disappointed and Manchester City fans celebrating wildly.

The number one fan of Lineker also shouted excitedly, demonstrating his sycophantic prowess, "Shan Yongzhuo! It's Shan Yongzhuo again!"

"The devil of Old Trafford, he scored twice in just 17 minutes of the game, and De Gea had no chance against his shots!"

"This is a classic Shan-style corner kick goal, one of Shan Yongzhuo's signature moves."

"De Gea's performance was good, but clearly not enough; he couldn't stop Shan Yongzhuo from scoring!"

"0-2, Manchester United are down by two goals at home, they need to think of a way out!"

"..."

On the field.

Shan Yongzhuo stood below the away team's stands, arms outstretched, like a world champion.

His teammates surrounded him, celebrating excitedly.

His action caused the female cheerleaders in the stands to dance wildly with excitement, while small pieces of paper with contact information written on them were constantly being thrown down at them.

The scene was somewhat eerie.

Manchester City players would occasionally sneakily pick up the notes and stuff them into their socks.

The Manchester United players were somewhat envious, but none of them went over to do that; they were worried about the game right now.

The team is already two goals down, how should they play the rest of the game?
They were somewhat bewildered.

Some people couldn't help but look at Evans, but then they realized that Evans couldn't be blamed for the goal, since it was a direct goal from a corner kick.

In the following match, Manchester United launched a relentless attack on Manchester City.

But their nightmare was not over yet.

In the 25th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo once again received the ball in the attacking third.

This time, Evanska was in good position, but Shan Yongzhuo activated Ghost Shadow Grappling Hand, using the time difference to get past him.

Once the Ghostly Grab effect wore off, Shan Yongzhuo had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

"Let's see this time!"

"Shan Yongzhuo!"

Lineker exclaimed.

Everyone knows that if Shan Yongzhuo shoots from this position, it's practically a guaranteed goal.

Anderson came over and blocked the shot, preventing Shan Yongzhuo from getting a chance to shoot.

However, Shan Yongzhuo immediately activated his Whirlwind Ground Kick, using a reverse arc to get past Anderson and shake him off.

Next up was Ferdinand, but Shan Yongzhuo used a feint to bypass him, fooling both Ferdinand and De Gea who was making a run.

Then, nothing stood in his way.

Shan Yongzhuo dribbled the ball directly into the goal.

After everyone realized what was happening, they saw the Asian player wearing the Manchester City number 10 jersey standing in the Manchester United goal, his back to them, with the football under his feet and his right hand raised high.

This silhouette was captured perfectly by the camera and became a classic moment on the football field.
