Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 326 Granada Fans at the Bernabéu
Upon arriving in Madrid, Manchester City checked into a hotel and rested for one night. The next day, they had a short warm-up session at a temporary venue to try and get everyone in top form.

Real Madrid fans were fairly well-behaved and didn't give Manchester City an overly enthusiastic "welcome ceremony" outside the hotel, which allowed the Manchester City players to get a good night's rest.

Of course, Shan Yongzhuo doesn't think this is because Real Madrid fans are of high quality; essentially, it's just that Real Madrid fans are lazy.

At 4 p.m., Manchester City's team bus drove into the Bernabéu Stadium, and soon after, the home team, Real Madrid, also entered the stadium.

The team's players first went to the locker room to change their clothes, and then when it was almost time, they went to the field to warm up under the guidance of the assistant coach.

Many people were a little nervous.

Although most of these guys have seen big games before, some players still felt a bit excited about facing Real Madrid at the Bernabéu.

The Bernabéu is one of the greatest stadiums in the world, and its glorious history needs no further explanation; most people know this. Unlike the Etihad Stadium, which is merely luxurious, the stadium itself doesn't have much of a history to speak of.

Arriving at this stadium still made some players quite excited.

However, the main players all seemed quite calm.

Kompany remained as calm as an old monk sitting in meditation. Ever since he learned that his surname was a noble one in China, this guy had become somewhat arrogant.

He felt that his ordinary name in Belgium was actually a very noble surname in distant China, which made him feel that this must be God's will and that he must be an extraordinary person.

So, the Bernabéu?
Kompany was not afraid or worried at all.

As for players like Silva and Aguero, they had played against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu many times during their time in La Liga, so playing at the Bernabéu is no big deal for them.

As for Yaya Toure, who comes from Barcelona, ​​he has absolutely no good feelings towards Real Madrid, so naturally he doesn't feel nervous at all.

The warm-up was rather uneventful, but the stadium was already packed with fans.

The Bernabéu Stadium, which can hold more than 80,000 people, was packed to capacity at the moment, but the vast majority of them were Real Madrid fans, with very few Manchester City fans.

However, because of the presence of the more than two thousand members of the Yongzhuo Women's Cheerleading Team, the Manchester City fans' momentum was not much different from that of the Real Madrid fans, who made up more than 80% of the stadium. In fact, there was even a slight tendency for them to steal the spotlight from the rest of the fans.

At least Cristiano Ronaldo and a large number of other Real Madrid players are extremely envious and jealous.

This wasn't the first time they'd seen this terrifying female cheerleading squad, but today there were just too many of them.

This is terrifying.

Around 2000 people?

More than 2000 female fans came to the stadium to support a player!
What a concept!
Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who always prides himself on being popular with female fans, felt quite uncomfortable at this moment.

He touched his hair, which was covered in hair gel, and looked at Shan Yongzhuo, who had a buzz cut, in the distance. He was filled with self-doubt.

"Is he really that much more handsome than me?"

"My performance was good enough, so why didn't any female fans create a cheerleading squad just for me?"

"I don't think he's that handsome..."

Shan Yongzhuo also noticed the way Ronaldo was looking at him, and couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly remembered some unpleasant news about Ronaldo that he had seen in his previous life.

"This guy……"

"Could my fatal attraction also have the ability to awaken my hidden gay tendencies?" "No, I have to stay away from this guy..."

Shan Yongzhuo felt a wave of fear wash over him.

The warm-up ended quickly, and the players returned to the locker room. Then, when the match was about to begin, they once again stepped onto this legendary football stadium.

Although Manchester City fans made up a minority at the stadium, their absolute numbers were not small. These were Manchester City's most die-hard fans who had traveled from England to Spain specifically to cheer on their team.

In addition, many neutral fans in the west stand were also there to support Manchester City, or more precisely, to support Shan Yongzhuo.

This group of fans is quite diverse, with the vast majority being Chinese students studying in Spain, and many Spaniards coming from Granada.

This group of people are simply there to support their new boss.

Since Shan Yongzhuo and Kroos jointly bought Granada, the happiest people have been the local Granada fans.

Although Granada is a weak team, Granada is not a small town. It is a "big city" with a total population of over 400,000, and a city population of over 200,000. Of course, this "big city" is only in comparison to Spain. In China, it cannot even compare to a county town.

However, almost everyone in the city has now become a fan of Shan Yongzhuo.

For them, Shan Yongzhuo buying the team is definitely a good thing, which means that Shan Yongzhuo is very likely to come to Granada to play in the future.

This is Shan Yongzhuo, the world's number one basketball star!

The world's number one football star is coming to Granada to play?
Do not make jokes.

This was something Granada fans would never have imagined before. Granada was a team that had won the Spanish Second Division title three times, and not only did they have no other notable achievements, the team was also extremely poor.

But now, they have that hope.

As a result, a considerable number of Granada fans immediately traveled to Madrid and the Bernabéu to cheer on their new owners and the team's future hopes.

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began, and Real Madrid launched the first attack.

At the start of the match, Real Madrid did not rush to launch an attack, but instead began to learn from Barcelona's style of play and play possession football.

The ball was passed back and forth among Real Madrid's midfielders, slowly advancing into the attacking third. They tentatively continued to pass the ball forward, and if there was a risk of it being intercepted, they would immediately pass it back. Then, after a few passes, the ball would quickly reach the attacking third again.

Just a few minutes into the game, Real Madrid started playing possession football, which caught Manchester City somewhat off guard.

Mancini looked at the situation on the field, somewhat bewildered.

In terms of tactics and on-field command, he knows he can't compare to Mourinho, so for now he can only take it one step at a time.

Manchester City's midfield is anchored by Yaya Toure and De Jong, with Silva and Nasri each occupying a wing.

Therefore, Real Madrid's control of the midfield was not challenged at all. Alonso and Özil firmly controlled the ball in the middle, walking Yaya Toure and De Jong like dogs.

However, the situation soon changed.

In the fifth minute, Özil and Khedira executed a one-two pass, and after shaking off De Jong, Özil seized the opportunity and played a through ball to Higuain ahead.

Manchester City's backfield immediately became tense and on edge.
