Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 337 Messi is better than Shan Yongzhuo

Before their quarter-final match against Barcelona, ​​Manchester City has one more game to play against Sunderland, who have virtually nothing to play for.

In this match, Shan Yongzhuo was very active and ran much more frequently.

Despite Sunderland's relentless defense at the Etihad Stadium, Shan Yongzhuo still managed to score a hat-trick, helping his team to a 5-1 home victory over Sunderland.

This victory not only helped Manchester City stabilize their league position, but also allowed Shan Yongzhuo to successfully raise his speed attribute to 90, gaining his final skill: the speed skill "Light Footwork on Water".

The skill description is simple: after use, it can increase the host's speed by 100% for 5 seconds.

This is a very overpowered skill.

Dan Yongzhuo's current speed is already 90 points, which can be considered a fast horse. If he increases it by 100% within 5 seconds, he believes that no one on the field can catch up with him.

Moreover, this skill can be combined with skills such as Whirlwind Ground Kick or Ghost Shadow Grappling Hand.

For example, if you use the Whirlwind Ground Kick while using the Lightness Skill Water Skimming, then you don't need to control the football. The football stays under your feet, and your running speed can be increased by 100%.

This is way too buggy!
After 2 rounds of Premier League matches, Manchester United are still two points behind Manchester City, and the title race remains fierce.

However, everyone's attention has been diverted to the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals.

Before the match, Shan Yongzhuo was to give an interview to CTV5.

This isn't the first or second time CTV5 has interviewed Shan Yongzhuo. Back when Shan Yongzhuo was still in Rome, he frequently gave interviews to CTV5 and even recorded a short program for them.

Now, Shan Yongzhuo is recognized as the world's number one football star. This interview was instructed by his superiors to be more than just a simple interview. They also wanted to promote Shan Yongzhuo as a positive role model to promote Chinese football.

That's a bit difficult.

Everyone knows what a mess Chinese football is in, and Shan Yongzhuo's success has absolutely nothing to do with Chinese youth training. He went to Austria and joined Kafenberg on his own, and he wasn't even a product of China's youth training system.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't mind and was happy to cooperate.

However, there was another invitation from CTV5 that made him hesitate: the European Championship this summer. In order to boost ratings, CTV5 invited him to participate as a commentator.

This made Shan Yongzhu hesitate.

To be honest, while he can't be considered completely ignorant about football, his technical and tactical knowledge is really not high.

If I were to be a guest commentator and couldn't offer any insightful explanations, that would be rather embarrassing.

We can't afford to be ridiculed by fans like Coach Zhu Guanghu was during the 2014 World Cup...

However, a bigwig from CTV5 personally called him to invite him, and offered a substantial appearance fee. In the end, Shan Yongzhuo decided to give the bigwig face.

Anyway, I'll still remember the general situation of this European Championship by then. Even if I can't explain the tactics and strategies, I can still be a prophet!

Filming began quickly, and the crew was allowed into the training ground.

As required by the production team, the film must capture Shan Yongzhuo's hard work and positive attitude during his training.

However, after a day of filming, the CTV5 staff discovered that Shan Yongzhuo was not hardworking at all, and was even considered to be the most lax in training among the team members.

Li Zhong, the head of the production team, is a die-hard fan of Shan Yongzhuo, and he offered his interpretation from a different perspective.

"What do you know? The big match against Barcelona is just around the corner. Shan Yongzhuo is doing this to maintain his form, and besides, a balance between work and rest is very important!"

However, during the subsequent tactical training session, the CTV5 staff discovered that Shan Yongzhuo was hiding at the very back, dozing off with his eyes half-closed.

Even Li Zhong was unable to explain this. However, the two-day filming went smoothly, and overall, the CTV5 team managed to capture what they wanted.

The Champions League quarter-finals are about to begin.

In this round of matches, Manchester City will play an away game first, followed by a home game. The entire Manchester City team boarded a plane to Barcelona the day before the match.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is also actively preparing for their Champions League match.

In the recently concluded 30th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Mallorca 2-0 away, but the gap between them and Real Madrid remains at 9 points.

With eight league matches remaining, it will be extremely difficult for Barcelona to catch up with Real Madrid.

In other words, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season.

Barcelona's only remaining competitions are the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

Fortunately, they made it to the Copa del Rey final, and their opponent was only Athletic Bilbao, so winning the championship shouldn't be too difficult.

But the Champions League is a bit more difficult.

Because they faced Manchester City in the quarterfinals, it gave Guardiola a real headache.

Before the match, Guardiola gave an interview: "Although we beat Manchester City in the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season, Shan Yongzhuo was not there at that time, and now we are facing Manchester City with Shan Yongzhuo."

"Without a doubt, Shan Yongzhuo is a top-notch goal-scoring machine; his goal tally is terrifying."

"But we have no reason to lose. In my opinion, although Messi has not scored as many goals as Shan Yongzhuo, he is better than Shan Yongzhuo."

Guardiola's interview garnered widespread acclaim from the Catalan media.

According to Mundo Deportivo, "Shan Yongzhuo is indeed a terrifying goal-scoring machine, but he is completely disconnected from his teammates, with virtually no coordination whatsoever."

"Messi is different."

"Messi is the core of Barcelona's attack. He can not only score goals by breaking through, but also inspire his teammates through teamwork, making them stronger as well."

"However, Shan Yongzhuo is unable to motivate his teammates, and may even steal possession from them, thus limiting their offensive performance."

"That's why Messi is better than Shan Yongzhuo."

The statement from Mundo Deportivo does seem reasonable at first glance, and it has garnered the agreement of many Spanish media outlets.

However, there were also those who disagreed.

For example, Marca.

Despite Real Madrid's elimination, Marca still stepped up to challenge Barcelona's media.

Marca certainly hopes Manchester City can eliminate Barcelona, ​​after all, Real Madrid was eliminated by Manchester City.

If Barcelona eliminates Manchester City, where will Real Madrid's pride be?
As a result, they completely became supporters of Shan Yongzhuo, cheering him on.

"Messi is better than Shan Yongzhuo? Let him score half of Shan Yongzhuo's goals first before we talk."

"Shan Yongzhuo is undoubtedly the number one star!"
