Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 377 A Four-Hit Wonder in 17 Minutes
"Danger!"

Everyone sensed that something was wrong.

However, Shan Yongzhuo had already received the ball at the byline and dribbled it into the penalty area.

Raphael was the first to rush over.

But before he could reach Shan Yongzhuo, Shan Yongzhuo gently jumped up and played the ball.

Then he tossed his head and slammed it against his forehead.

"This……"

Many people don't quite understand this approach, but those who know Shan Yongzhuo are aware of what's going on.

"It's here! This is Shan Yongzhuo's specialty: a lobbed header!"

With a loud shout from the commentator.

The football flew at high speed, curving sharply, and went straight into the near corner of the goal.

De Gea was completely caught off guard; his save was a step too slow, and the ball had already grazed the post and flown into the goal.

"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"2-2! Manchester City have equalized!"

"In the 73rd minute of the second half, just five minutes after the previous goal, Shan Yongzhuo scored his second goal!"

"Another great goal, a header from an almost zero-degree angle, and it was Shan Yongzhuo himself who chipped the ball into the goal!"

"Incredible!"

"This isn't the first time Shan Yongzhuo has scored a header from such a zero-degree angle, but every time it looks undefendable!"

"Manchester United needs to come up with a solution. Shan Yongzhuo has only been on the pitch for 8 minutes and has already equalized the score. Manchester United's advantage has vanished!"

The commentator shouted excitedly.

In fact, Manchester United really wanted to stop Shan Yongzhuo, but they just couldn't.

Can we blame Manchester United's players for this goal?
Even the most demanding Manchester United fans can't blame every player on the field, not even Rafael and De Gea, who caused the goal conceded.

They can only blame Shan Yongzhuo for being too formidable.

Ferguson, standing on the sidelines, shook his head in frustration, knowing that his players had done their best.

There's still no way to help it.

On the other hand, Guardiola was caught in a huge dilemma.

"This guy is incredibly skilled! How did he do that?!"

He simply couldn't understand how Shan Yongzhuo, with his intense training regimen, could possess such astonishing strength.

He discovered that the Shan Yongzhuo on the field was a completely different person from the Shan Yongzhuo of ordinary times.

Although laziness may seem the same...

However, Shan Yongzhuo on the field seemed to be able to score goals in every way. In Guardiola's opinion, apart from not passing the ball, Shan Yongzhuo's performance was impeccable.

"But, not passing the ball..."

"Relying entirely on him is not a good thing for the team!"

Guardiola is in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he wanted to achieve results at Manchester City, but on the other hand, he didn't want to be like Mancini, who relied entirely on Shan Yongzhuo and made no real contribution to the team's development.

He hopes that while Shan Yongzhuo performs well, the team can also become a team that can achieve great success even without relying on Shan Yongzhuo, based on his own tactical ideas.

but now.

Relying on Shan Yongzhuo seems like such a wonderful thing; you don't have to think about anything else, you just have to watch Shan Yongzhuo perform.

Although Guardiola was unwilling, he could understand Mancini to some extent.

"No, I can't do this..."

"It was an accident. After all, it was a championship race, and there was nothing we could do about it."

"Next time, even if we lose the game, we must stick to our tactical principles!"

Guardiola shook his head, reaffirming his resolve to not rely on Shan Yongzhuo and to develop his own tactics.

……

The game continues.

The Manchester United players were getting anxious.

They led for the entire game, only to be equalized within eight minutes, a situation they found hard to accept. After the restart, Manchester United launched a relentless attack on Manchester City.

But to their disappointment, they conceded a third goal very quickly.

The 76th minute of the game.

Manchester City launched another quick counter-attack, culminating in Yaya Toure's through ball finding Shan Yongzhuo.

This time, Shan Yongzhuo used his "ghostly capture" technique to receive the ball just outside the penalty area, getting ahead of Vidic and Carrick.

He then dodged two players and quickly found an opening to shoot.

With a powerful shot right on the edge of the penalty area, De Gea was helpless as the ball flew like a heavy cannonball into the top left corner of the goal.

3 is better than 2!

Manchester City quickly completed the comeback.

"3-2! Goal again!"

"10 minutes! Just 10 minutes after Shan Yongzhuo came on, Manchester City completed the comeback, a hat-trick in 10 minutes!"

"Many fans watching on TV might think this is just a friendly match for Manchester City, and the opponent is just a Championship or League One team."

"But unfortunately, this is the Community Shield final, and the opponent is no pushover, but Manchester United!"

"Unfortunately, Manchester United led for the entire game, but with the introduction of Shan Yongzhuo, they surrendered within 10 minutes!"

"This is Shan Yongzhuo, an unstoppable goal-scoring machine!"

"..."

Under the camera's lens, Shan Yongzhuo appeared calm and composed, finally shaking off his gloom and becoming happy.

ten minutes.

hat trick.

The fact that the opponent was a team like Manchester United is something to celebrate.

The Etihad Stadium was now in a frenzy, with Manchester City fans celebrating joyfully and members of the Shan Yongzhuo Women's Cheerleading Team dancing wildly with excitement.

Once the game restarted, Manchester United launched a desperate attack.

They had no other options. With only 14 minutes left in the game, they had to find a way to equalize the score first.

Manchester United pressed forward with all their players, while Manchester City calmly and steadily maintained their defense.

Meanwhile, Shan Yongzhuo stood calmly in the frontcourt, occasionally making a run, patiently waiting for his chance, looking almost like an outsider to the game.

However, Manchester United's players did not dare to relax their defense against him.

Especially Vidic.

As a long-time rival, Vidic knew all too well how formidable Shan Yongzhuo was.

But what was bound to happen, happened anyway.

In the 85th minute, Manchester City launched a counter-attack and earned a corner kick.

Shan Yongzhuo took the corner kick and scored again with a single tap-in.

4 is better than 2!

Goal! 4-2!

"This is Shan Yongzhuo's fourth goal! A classic Shan-style corner kick that found the back of the net!"

"A four-goal haul! In just 17 minutes on the pitch, Shan Yongzhuo has scored four goals, leaving Manchester United helpless against him!"

"That was the game-killing goal!"

"The match has ended prematurely!"

"..."

As the commentator called out, the Manchester United players seemed to have already made their decision.

The rest of the game became garbage time.

After several back-and-forth exchanges between the two teams, the referee blew the final whistle to end the match once the two minutes of added time were over.

"Congratulations to Manchester City on winning the 2012-2013 Community Shield!"

"The most incredible thing is Shan Yongzhuo, who scored four goals in 17 minutes!"

"The season has just begun, and Shan Yongzhuo has already shown amazing form. Perhaps, if he can maintain this form, this season will still belong to Manchester City!"
