Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 417 I cried with Casillas

The game starts again.

Only thirteen minutes had passed, and Iraq was already down by two goals. They had no other choice but to seize the time to attack and try to score the first goal. Scoring a goal would not only narrow the gap, but also give them some confidence in the game.

However, the Chinese team did a very good job on defense.

China's two-goal lead over Iraq gave the players a significant psychological advantage on the field. The midfielders and defenders strictly implemented Gao Hongbo's defensive strategy, using constant running to create an impenetrable defensive formation.

Every player is very motivated.

If the Chinese national football team wins this match, they will achieve three consecutive victories in the group stage, earning nine points. If they can win one more match in the remaining games, they will basically qualify for the final round of 10.

Shan Yongzhuo has created such a good situation. If there are problems in the defense, they will definitely be criticized after the game.

In this situation, everyone on the field works very hard, and everyone gives their all.

In football, offense and defense are actually complementary. When the defense is solid, it not only stops the opponent's attack, but also undermines the opponent's morale to some extent, which allows your own attack to gradually come into play.

Iraq's attacks were ineffective in several waves, so China turned the tide and launched its own offensive.

Shan Yongzhuo got the ball twice in a row.

The first time the ball was cleared out of bounds by the opposing defender, Shan Yongzhuo didn't seem to care much.

In the 22nd minute, Shan Yongzhuo got his second chance, receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area.

There is still a significant gap between Asian teams and teams in top European leagues. To put it bluntly, Iraq's defense is much worse than that of most Premier League teams.

When Shan Yongzhuo received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, the defenders who were running after him had not yet found their footing and were then directly beaten by Shan Yongzhuo.

He accelerated past two opposing players, broke through their double-team defense, and reached a 45-degree angle in front of the penalty area before taking a shot.

The football was too fast, heading straight for the far corner of the net. The Iraqi goalkeeper could do nothing but stand there and watch the ball hurtle into the goal.

"The ball is in!"

"3 to 0!"

"Shan Yongzhuo's powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area has changed the score once again!"

"This goal was very decisive and beautiful. After breaking through, he unleashed a powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area, completing his hat-trick and scoring China's third goal!"

"From the 3rd minute of the match to the 21st minute now, in just 18 minutes, Shan Yongzhuo has scored 3 goals in a row, completely destroying Iraq's defense!"

"No, perhaps for Shan Yongzhuo, Iraq has no defense. To him, Iraq is undefended, and he can score goals whenever he wants!"

"Perhaps we should sympathize with the Iraqi team. Some of them may already be hoping the game would end sooner rather than later. It wasn't a game at all, but a massacre, a massacre that was on a completely different level."

Just then, the camera pointed at Iraqi goalkeeper Qasr.

Kasder stood in front of the door with his neck hunched and hands on his hips, occasionally touching his eyes, looking dejected.

Instantly, the goalkeeper garnered widespread sympathy from Chinese fans online.

"How pitiful, he was beaten to tears by Grand Commandant Shan."

"That's perfectly normal. The Great Demon King Shan is simply unreasonable."

"Don't cry, brother, get up and play."

"Brother, you're not the first goalkeeper to be brought to tears by that big devil Shan, nor will you be the last."

"Even Casillas was kicked to tears by the Great Demon Lord Shan."

"I, the Great Demon King Shan, never show mercy!"

"Ruthless bullying of noobs, Shan Yongzhuo!" "So, this guy can go out and tell people, 'I cried with Casillas'?"

"What a steal!"

"..."

Iraqi goalkeeper Qasr was indeed very frustrated at this moment. He had never encountered such a situation before. He wanted to complain about his teammates for giving Shan Yongzhuo so many opportunities to shoot.

However, he was also well aware that his teammates were already struggling to defend against Shan Yongzhuo.

All he wants right now is for the game to end quickly.

With Shan Yongzhuo's hat trick, the domestic viewership ratings reached a peak and continued to climb.

What's even more alarming is that not only are the domestic ratings incredibly high, but the international ratings are also soaring.

This is very rare.

Of course, these ratings mainly come from Shan Yongzhuo's fans around the world, especially European fans, with English fans being the most enthusiastic, contributing a lot of viewership.

In their view, Shan Yongzhuo's participation in Asian-level competitions was nothing short of bullying, and such competitions were quite interesting.

"I've been watching the game the whole time, it's so interesting, is the opposing team really a professional team?"

"Of course, I've done my research. The Iraqi team has won the Asian Cup, which shows they are not weak."

"The problem is that he is too strong, which makes Asian teams despair."

"This is simply bullying a child. Although it's unethical, Chinese fans must be thrilled."

"Didn't you see the Iraqi goalkeeper? He looks like he's crying."

"I strongly recommend that Shan Yongzhuo acquire British citizenship. His presence is unfair to Asian teams!"

"That's right, with Dan around, maybe England can win the World Cup?"

"No, he only debuted in Austria, so he should become an Austrian citizen."

"..."

European fans were gloating, as if watching a spectacle, and their comments were full of mockery.

There was absolutely no sympathy in them.

These guys were just here for fun, and the vast majority of them were die-hard fans of Shan Yongzhuo. They really enjoyed watching Shan dominate these easy matches.

And Shan Yongzhuo did not disappoint them; he showed no mercy whatsoever.

In the 30th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo scored again.

Although the Iraqi team has begun to defend against Shan Yongzhuo closely, there is still very little they can do.

This time it was a free kick 25 meters in front of the penalty area, which is Shan Yongzhuo's best area.

Dan Yongzhuo took a direct shot, executing a classic dipping shot. The Iraqi goalkeeper did his best, but still couldn't stop the ball from going into the goal.

"It's in again! It's in again!"

"4-0! Shan Yongzhuo is playing like a madman!"

"In the 30th minute of the match, just half an hour has passed. Fans who have just turned on their TVs should not be surprised. Just now, Shan Yongzhuo scored four goals, breaching Iraq's goal for the fourth time."

"For the other players on the Chinese team, the game was far too easy. All they had to do was watch, defend well, and watch Shan Yongzhuo put on a show!"
