Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 441 Perhaps they would be a good match

After halftime, Manchester City clearly eased up in the second half.

Because Shan Yongzhuo was substituted off the field.

He left the field amidst the cheers of the fans, which was tantamount to a perfect exit from the game, and he would surely receive praise and anticipation afterward.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief at Shan Yongzhuo's fate.

For example, Monterrey's defenders and goalkeeper.

Monterrey's defense took Shan Yongzhuo very seriously, not only because he was the world's number one star, but also because he gave the team a shock right from the start, scoring a solo goal in the opening minutes.

However, the tragic discovery in Monterey showed that their concern was ineffective; the opponent still completed the hat trick, and did so with great ease.

Now, the other side has finally entered the fray.

However, after Shan Yongzhuo left the field amidst cheers, Manchester City's players seemed to play with even more energy, displaying a better competitive form than in the first half.

In the 60th minute, Manchester City launched a short passing combination on the left flank. Substitute Dzeko received the ball, turned and fired a shot that was parried by the goalkeeper, but Yaya Toure followed up and scored.

5 is better than 0!

In the 78th minute, Aguero's shot from a tight angle was saved by the goalkeeper and went out for a corner. After the corner was taken, Zabaleta, who was lurking at the near post of the penalty area, suddenly headed the ball into the far corner.

6 is better than 0!

In the 88th minute, Monterrey launched a counter-attack and ultimately scored with a long-range shot from outside the box, piercing the Manchester City goal.

6 is better than 1!

In the end, Manchester City secured a resounding victory, and Chun-Li advanced to the Club World Cup final.

The resounding victory put everyone at Manchester City in high spirits, but the media poured cold water on their enthusiasm. In the eyes of most, the big win was to be expected, after all, the opponent was only Monterrey.

This is the factual situation.

Monterrey is just a team in the Mexican league. Even if they dominate the entire CONCACAF region, it's not a big deal because there aren't many strong teams in that region.

Therefore, Manchester City's resounding victory was only to be expected.

of course.

Reaching the finals is commendable.

English media commented on and reported on the match: "Shan Yongzhuo led the team with his individual performance, and other players also demonstrated Manchester City's strong strength."

Everyone received good ratings in this match, although Monterrey scored a goal at the end, but that goal clearly had the element of allowing the opponent to save face.

It was a courtesy goal conceded, and it doesn't prove anything.

On the second day of the match, Manchester City held their training session as usual, and everyone seemed relaxed.

The final will be held in three days.

Their opponent is Corinthians, the champion of the Copa Libertadores and a traditional powerhouse from Brazil.

Corinthians, despite being one of Brazil's top clubs, are still not taken seriously by Manchester City's players.

After all, South American football can be considered a backyard for European football to some extent. Their best players go to Europe to play, and those who stay are mostly average players, undiscovered young talents, or veteran stars who return to South America to retire.

Therefore, in the eyes of Manchester City players, Corinthians may be stronger than Monterrey, but they are probably no match for Manchester City, and they don't need to take them seriously.

During training that day, they were most focused on Zabaleta.

Zabaleta was the focus of training all day.

During the morning training session, a very pretty and lovely girl was standing on the sidelines. She had a pure and innocent look, with big, expressive eyes, tanned skin, a great figure, and a beauty that rivaled that of top actresses. She attracted the attention of almost everyone in Manchester City.

Then, during a training break, everyone saw Zabaleta walk over and talk to the girl.

As the girl left, Zabaleta even gave her a kiss on the forehead.

“Uh…” “Paul, you’re in big trouble.” Kompany said with a wicked grin, “If you don’t want me to tell Carla, and then Carla to tell Crystal, you’d better tell me honestly, who is it?”

Everyone else stared wide-eyed, waiting for Zabaleta's explanation.

Even Shan Yongzhuo, although he had not fully recovered, was also attracted to that girl.

There's no way around it, the girl is just too beautiful.

Appearance is justice.

Zabaleta was exasperated. She glanced warily at her unscrupulous teammates, including Kompany, and said irritably, "That's my sister, Valentina. She's studying in Tokyo and came to Yokohama specifically to see me."

"Your sister?"

"God, are you really siblings?"

"This is terrifying? Full siblings with the same parents?"

"..."

Zabaleta shrugged speechlessly. There was nothing she could do; the difference in appearance between the brother and sister was indeed too great.

Dan Yongzhuo was also captivated, only snapping out of his daze after Valentina left. Of course, he didn't show any interest whatsoever, but silently wondered to himself, "Should I try to get on Paul's good side?"

"After all, we are teammates."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with Valentina. I just think Paul is a very nice person."

“Yes, when I get back to England, I should invite Paul to my home; he’s never been before.”

While Shan Yongzhuo was pondering this carefully, his teammates were also asking Valentina if she had a boyfriend.

"She has never had a boyfriend. She is an excellent student, and she focuses almost entirely on her medical studies..."

Upon hearing this, Aguero suddenly blurted out, "So, Valentina is still single? Paulo, maybe you could introduce Shan to her. Shan is also single, and he's quite the ascetic. Maybe they'd be a good match."

"Of course, they are also a good match in terms of looks."

Upon hearing Aguero's words, Shan Yongzhuo couldn't help but give Aguero a thumbs up. He truly lived up to his reputation as his number one lackey.

Zabaleta glanced at Shan Yongzhuo, then his eyes lit up, as if he thought Aguero's suggestion made some sense.

His eyes seemed to say, "What are you thinking?"

"Would you like to get to know Valentina?"

Valentina is Zabaleta's younger sister, whom he watched grow up, and he hopes she can find happiness.

And Shan Yongzhuo is definitely a great partner.

Handsome, a superstar athlete, and easy-going.

More importantly, Zabaleta knew that despite his immense popularity, Shan Yongzhuo had always maintained a clean reputation and could even be considered a representative of asceticism. He had never been involved in any scandals, which even led some to suspect that he was attracted to men.

More importantly, Zabaleta noticed the way Shan Yongzhuo looked at Valentina, which ultimately led him to accept Aguero's suggestion.

Looking into Zabaleta's burning gaze—the kind of gaze one might give someone eager to promote their sister—Shan Yongzhuo hesitated.

Without a doubt, Valentina was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Shan Yongzhuo felt that if he missed her, he might regret it.

However, the key issue lies in one's own stamina...

Of course, Shan Yongzhuo absolutely did not think there was any possibility that the other party would look down on him.

Unless the other person is a lesbian like Marina...

"No, let's get to know each other first. It doesn't mean anything. As long as we recover quickly, we can get away with it without anyone noticing!"

In the end, Shan Yongzhuo decided to go and get to know them.
