Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 388 We have it, you don't
The match ended, and both teams felt relaxed.

The Singaporean players felt they had finally finished the game. For them, it was an ordeal, a calamity. They were no longer thinking about winning or losing; they were just thinking that they would finally be free from facing opponents like Shan Yongzhuo.

The Chinese team is truly relaxed.

Before the match, Shan Yongzhuo told them that he would win by a large margin, and he has now done just that.

6 is better than 1!

This is definitely exceeding expectations.

A good start is half the battle. Winning the first match by a large margin is a great start, and the chances of advancing from the group stage will be much better.

After the match, the Chinese players appeared very composed. Team captain Li Weifeng was quite candid in a post-match interview: "The match was much easier than I expected. The whole team performed well. In fact, I felt like I didn't even break a sweat."

"This is all thanks to Xiao Dan; he is truly outstanding."

“I even think that Xiao Dan’s existence is unfair to Singapore, or rather to all Asian teams. His level is far beyond the Asian level.”

Hao Junmin came on as a substitute and scored a goal, which earned him media attention. He said with a relaxed expression, "With Xiao Dan on the team, the rest of us players are very relaxed."

"Xiao Dan's goal gave everyone a lot of confidence, which is why we were able to perform well."

Other players who gave interviews generally gave the same answer.

Because Shan Yongzhuo really performed exceptionally well.

Although everyone has gotten used to his excellent performance, it still brings joy every time he wins by a large margin.

At the post-match press conference, Gao Hongbo attended alone, as Shan Yongzhuo refused to attend.

Gao Hongbo also said with a relaxed and proud expression: "Xiao Dan's excellent performance was within my expectations. He never has a bad performance."

"If I had to say that Shan Yongzhuo had a bad day, it would probably be when he only scored one or two goals," Gao Hongbo said with a shameless little joke.

However, the media present at the scene expressed their strong agreement and also felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflections).

Since when has scoring one or two goals become the standard for poor performance?
However, this does make sense when applied to Shan Yongzhuo.

Gao Hongbo continued, "What makes me feel gratified is that the others also performed well, especially Chen Tao and Deng Zhuoxiang, who gave Shan Yongzhuo a lot of support."

"However, the defense was not good, and the opponent scored a goal in the second half. This is something that needs to be paid attention to and something that needs to be strengthened in the future."

"There are still 5 matches left in the top 20. We cannot let our guard down. We need to play well in every match to advance to the top 10."

the other side.

Singapore's head coach, Avramovic, looked helpless during an interview.

However, he didn't seem too disappointed: "In all my years of coaching, I have never seen a game like this, nor have I ever seen a player like this."

"He was born to score goals!"

"With Shan Yongzhuo on the team, I think not only Singapore, but no team in Asia can stop China."

"But my players also performed well. Although they couldn't stop Shan Yongzhuo, they showed their strength in the second half and scored a goal."

"In my opinion, the Singapore team is no weaker than the Chinese team. If it weren't for Shan Yongzhuo, the score would be 1-1!"

Avramovic's statement sounds a bit like he can't accept defeat.

The Chinese media present looked disdainful.

"What if Shan Yongzhuo isn't there?" "Sorry, the reality is, we are, and you aren't!"

……

The Chinese national football team won its opening match in the World Cup qualifiers, and news about the national team and Shan Yongzhuo is everywhere in China.

In the first match, the Chinese national football team delivered a perfect performance.

However, after only one day of rest, the Chinese team transferred in Guangzhou and flew to Amman, the capital of Jordan, where they will play their second match in the World Cup qualifiers, an away game against Jordan.

Time is very tight. The second game is on September 6th, and the team doesn't have much time to rest.

The team was very relaxed after winning the first game.

Moreover, the Jordanian team...

Although Jordan is considered a strong team in West Asia, they defeated the formidable Iraqi team 2-0 in the first leg, proving their strength should not be underestimated.

However, Shan Yongzhuo did not take it to heart.

In the 2011 Asian Cup, the Chinese team played against Jordan in the quarterfinals, where the Chinese team defeated the Jordanian team by a large margin.

In Shan Yongzhuo's view, Jordan is indeed much stronger than Singapore, but the difference is actually limited, and it is ultimately only at the level of a second-tier Asian country.

Shan Yongzhuo's nonchalance also influenced the other players on the Chinese team, who believed that beating Jordan was not a problem.

Everyone on the plane was relaxed.

Apart from Gao Hongbo.

The players can relax, but Gao Hongbo cannot.

In his view, one can underestimate the opponent strategically, but never underestimate the opponent tactically.

However, after much research, he discovered that Jordan didn't seem to be anything special; at least, they were completely incapable of solving Shan Yongzhuo's problem.

Without dealing with Shan Yongzhuo, defeating the Chinese team is out of the question.

After all, the two teams are actually quite evenly matched.

The Chinese team was relaxed, but Jordan's head coach Adnan was anything but relaxed, and even felt a great headache.

In an interview, the former Iranian coach stated firmly: "Although the Chinese team is very strong, the Jordanian team is not weak either. I have studied Shan Yongzhuo's games in detail, and I believe we can defend well and defeat the Chinese team at home."

Adnan's statement gave Jordan, a small country, tremendous confidence, because they really didn't have much confidence, especially since the other side had Shan Yongzhuo, the world's number one football star.

However, Adnan himself was not so relaxed.

It wasn't just Adnan; Jordanian players generally felt that Adnan was bragging.

This group of Jordanian players is basically based on the players from the 2011 Asian Cup team. Most of them have personally witnessed how good Shan Yongzhuo is.

Right now, several defenders are in excruciating pain.

Players like Osman, Baljadini, and Aguirre are all looking forward to Adnan putting them on the substitute list.

Let's give the starting opportunities to our teammates!

Compared to serving the country, bringing glory to the country, or protecting Shan Yongzhuo, they were somewhat self-aware. They were even less willing to face the terrifying Shan Yongzhuo than to appear on stage.
