Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 324 League Cup Champion

The commentators showered Shan Yongzhuo with praise, their words also filled with sympathy for Cardiff City. No team could possibly win against a player like Shan Yongzhuo.

This is a football match.

Scoring in a football match is very difficult, but after watching the previous games, everyone had the same feeling: Shan Yongzhuo was playing a basketball game.

He doesn't play the same kind of football as the others.

On the field, Shan Yongzhuo and his teammates celebrated their goal.

Putting aside the praise from their teammates, the Cardiff City players were feeling disheartened and had given up all hope for the game.

The only ones who spoke were Ben Turner and Gunnarsson, who looked at each other with shock on their faces.

“God is my witness, he’s amazing,” Ben Turner murmured.

Gunnarsson swallowed hard and said, "So, Ben, we should choose to be teammates with him. It would be a wonderful thing, and at least we'd definitely have a championship..."

"Yes, we'll have our day too!"

While their Cardiff teammates were all devastated, these two were already looking forward to a wonderful life in Granada.

At Wembley Stadium, only 36 minutes into the game, Manchester City were already leading 5-0, and the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.

On the sidelines, Mancini made a move.

He substituted Shan Yongzhuo, Aguero, and Silva all at once.

Three substitutions were made before the first half was even over, which is almost unheard of in football, but Mancini didn't care.

The outcome of the match is no longer in doubt; the remaining matches are simply garbage time.

Ensuring the physical condition of these three key players is the most important thing. After all, in addition to the two league matches, there is also the second leg of the Champions League match against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, which is crucial for advancing in the Champions League. Mancini cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

As Shan Yongzhuo slowly walked off the field, enthusiastic applause erupted from the surrounding stands.

Of Manchester City's five goals, Shan Yongzhuo scored four, and in just 36 minutes, averaging one goal every nine minutes. Considering Cardiff City's tight marking of Shan Yongzhuo, his performance was truly astonishing.

After Shan Yongzhuo, Silva and Aguero were substituted off the field, the game continued.

However, Manchester City still maintained control of the game, while Cardiff City completely lost confidence and could only passively defend most of the time.

Fortunately, Manchester City failed to score again in the final moments of the first half.

Then came the second half, and Cardiff City's performance improved somewhat, but only to a limited extent; they still couldn't gain the upper hand on the field.

Balotelli, who came on as a substitute for Manchester City, was very active.

In the 70th minute, Balotelli received a low cross from Nasri and pounced on the opportunity to score, making the score 6-0.

At this moment, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt, and the Manchester City fans on the sidelines couldn't help but celebrate, because they were certain that they would win the English League Cup.

Although it was just the League Cup, it still made Manchester City fans very excited. After all, it was the first trophy of the season and the first League Cup title in Manchester City's history, which was definitely worth celebrating.

"champion!"

"Manchester City!"

"Shan Yongzhuo!"

These are the slogans they shouted.

The final score was 6-0, and neither Manchester City nor Cardiff City managed to score again for the remainder of the game.

The referee did not give even a minute of added time. When the 90th minute arrived, the referee simply blew the whistle to end the match.

"The match is over!"

"6 to 0!"

"It was a huge margin. Manchester City beat Cardiff City with a strong performance, showing the power of the Premier League defending champions." "The standout performer was Shan Yongzhuo, who scored four goals and ended the suspense of the game early on. Aguero and substitute Balotelli each scored a goal."

"Let's congratulate Manchester City!"

"They won the 2011-2012 English League Cup! Manchester City will next compete in the league, FA Cup, and Champions League. Let's look forward to them winning more titles!"

Amid the commentator's snoring, Manchester City fans in the surrounding stands had already begun to cheer.

The stadium was filled with madness.

Manchester City players continued to celebrate, embracing each other on the field with smiles on their faces. Before long, they gathered together, chanting Manchester City's slogan and celebrating their first title of the season.

the other side.

Cardiff was very disappointed.

Many Cardiff City players collapsed onto the pitch immediately, feeling utterly exhausted, not just physically, but also mentally.

They defended for almost 90 minutes throughout the entire match.

6 to 0, that's a huge score difference.

Thankfully, the nightmare is finally over.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but many looked listless.

However, Ben Turner and Gunnarsson didn't think much of it. They had obtained Shan Yongzhuo's contact information, which meant that Shan Yongzhuo's invitation to Granada was true.

They felt pretty good.

Although they didn't win the League Cup, they can still play in La Liga, play for Shan Yongzhuo's team, and become teammates with Shan Yongzhuo in the future.

These conditions still held great appeal for them.

Cardiff City?

Sorry, I'll be a Granada player next season, Cardiff City has nothing to do with me.

The English League Cup has ended.

This is the earliest event to end in the season.

Manchester City ultimately won the championship.

After the match, the media also made summaries, with the most praise being directed at Shan Yongzhuo.

In the League Cup, Shan Yongzhuo participated in 5 matches and scored an incredible 16 goals, averaging 3 goals per match. Such efficiency is astonishing.

In the final, Shan Yongzhuo scored 4 goals, delivering an impeccable performance.

"Shan Yongzhuo, this name will be remembered in the history of the League Cup for a long time."

"With four goals, he made history in the League Cup final. Manchester City showed great strength. Judging from this game alone, it wouldn't be surprising if they defend their Premier League title this season."

"Manchester City is too strong, or rather, Shan Yongzhuo is too strong."

Cardiff was not mentioned at all.

The media were relatively tactful; when they mentioned Manchester City, they tried to avoid mentioning Cardiff City. The English media showed a friendly side towards the Welsh team, given their crushing defeat.

Just three days after the League Cup ended, Spanish media broke a shocking piece of news.

"Granada FC has completed the team transfer. New Ballon d'Or winner Shan Yongzhuo invested 1800 million euros, and German agent Thomas Kroos invested 1000 million euros. Together, the two acquired 98.25% of Granada FC's shares from the Pozzo family."

"Granada changes hands, Shan Yongzhuo becomes Granada's biggest boss!"
