Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 354 We will lift the trophy in front of Manchester United
Shan Yongzhuo used a whirlwind ground kick to get the ball.

This was his last skill of the game, and he had to make the most of it, so after getting the ball, he immediately shook off Terry.

Fortunately, Terry circled around to his front during the ball-stealing process, which allowed him to quickly charge forward after receiving the ball, leaving Terry far behind.

At this moment, he had no opponents left.

Accelerate, accelerate.

Soon, Shan Yongzhuo dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Cech has already made his move; it's a last resort.

However, he still couldn't accomplish anything.

Shan Yongzhuo had just reached the edge of the penalty area when he stopped the ball.

then.

Take a step.

Shot.

The ball sailed straight past Cech and plunged into Chelsea's goal without any doubt.

3 is better than 0!

Ittihad was in an uproar.

"Goal! Goal!"

"3-0! Manchester City led by 3 goals in the first leg, and with the game now in the 81st minute, we can declare the suspense over. Even if they return to Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will have little chance of a comeback."

"It's difficult" is just a figure of speech for me; I'm afraid even Chelsea fans themselves don't think there's any hope...

The commentator spoke eloquently.

In reality, the Chelsea players were indeed desperate.

In their view, the ball was a complete accident.

It should have been a Chelsea goal, but Torres missed a close-range shot, allowing Manchester City to score on the counter-attack.

It was supposed to be 2-1, but it turned into 3-0.

This is a devastating blow to Chelsea players.

Many people looked at Torres, who stood with his hands on his hips and a look of frustration on his face, but no one blamed him; they just felt very disappointed.

Torres himself was also experiencing a great deal of turmoil.

He would never have missed a shot from such close range before.

What's wrong with me right now?
Since joining Chelsea, his performance has plummeted, turning him from a striker into a defensive stalwart.

In fact, even Torres himself didn't know why.

In terms of injuries, the recovery is actually quite good.

As for my condition, I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with it.

Is it really Chelsea's number 9 curse?

"God, what's wrong with me?"

"Please, save your most faithful follower, Fernando Torres!"

A desperate Torres could only pray to God, while the despairing Chelsea fans had already left the stadium.

In fact, although Chelsea has performed very strongly in recent years.

But in reality, Chelsea, like Manchester City, has never reached the Champions League final!

Their best achievement was winning the Cup Winners' Cup in the 90s, which was only equivalent to winning the Europa League.

During Mourinho's era, Chelsea were at their strongest, but they never reached the Champions League final.

This time, Chelsea once again have a chance to reach the Champions League final.

However, it seems that things are about to go wrong again.

Moreover, they lost to Manchester City, their biggest nemesis in recent years.

This result left Chelsea fans extremely disappointed.

Despite it being only the first leg, the 3-0 scoreline meant that even the most optimistic Chelsea fans no longer believed Chelsea had a chance to catch up.

……

The match ended with a score of 3-0.

Manchester City secured a decisive victory against Chelsea at home, gaining a significant advantage. Even at the final moments of the match, the cameras remained focused on Shan Yongzhuo.

Dan Yongzhuo also had a smile on his face as he celebrated the victory with his teammates.

This victory means they may be able to easily advance to the Champions League final.

That's the Champions League final!

In Manchester City's squad, apart from Balotelli, who won the Champions League with Mourinho's Inter Milan, and Yaya Toure, who won the Champions League with Barcelona, ​​no one else has ever touched a title, or even reached the final.

This is the highest honor at the European club level, symbolizing reaching the pinnacle of European football.

Moreover, the club will award a £1000 million prize to anyone who wins the championship trophy.

This fueled the fighting spirit of every player.

More importantly, this victory will allow Manchester City players to shed the pressure of the Champions League. With a resounding win in the first leg, the second leg will be relatively easy as long as they don't make any fatal mistakes.

This way, they can focus less on the Champions League and concentrate all their energy on the league.

Shan Yongzhuo also longs for the Champions League final.

He gave an interview after the match.

His hat-trick in a single game made him the focus of media attention.

However, Shan Yongzhuo's answer was still very official, with nothing to criticize.

It was like a retired official giving a government work report—rigorous but uninteresting.

This disappointed the media, but they were helpless.

This guy finally agreed to an interview; it's better to give one than not to at all.

In the other Champions League semi-final, Bayern Munich defeated Inter Milan 2-1 away, also gaining a significant advantage.

It looks like the final will be a showdown between Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

The media is buzzing with speculation, with many already anticipating the Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich final.

But none of that matters to Shan Yongzhuo.

He gained new income.

Special sponsorship from Nike.

Nike has launched a new generation of basketball shoes and apparel named after Shan Yongzhuo, designed by a world-class designer and incorporating strong Chinese elements.

A complete set of sportswear and sneakers costs £360.

The price is a bit high, but that's Nike's business. All Shan Yongzhuo has to do is shoot a set of advertisements.

However, for Manchester City, after playing the first leg of the semi-final against Chelsea, they will face the most crucial match of the season.

In the 36th round of the league, Manchester City will host Manchester United.

This will be a match that directly determines who wins the championship.

In the current Premier League standings, Manchester City leads Manchester United by 5 points.

This is the difference between the two games.

If Manchester City defeats Manchester United in this match, they will clinch the league title two rounds early.

If the score is tied, the point difference will remain at 5 points, and Manchester United will still have a chance to win the title in the final round, but their fate will depend on Manchester City's result.

If Manchester United win, the gap will be narrowed to 2 points.

With two rounds remaining, if the point difference is narrowed to two, the championship will once again become a matter of suspense.

Both teams are taking this match very seriously and are making their final preparations before the big game.

Manchester United only has the league title left to contend for this season, so they naturally attach great importance to this match.

The same goes for Manchester City.

Mancini wants to eliminate Manchester United in this match so he can focus on preparing for the Champions League.

Therefore, everyone performed very actively in training this week.

No one slacked off.

Mancini also issued a kill order.

"Guys, let's lift the trophy at the Etihad Stadium, right in front of Manchester United fans!"
