Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 474 The Only Way for England to Win the World Cup
The Champions League is the most watched competition in Europe.

Four matches of the Round of 16 have been completed so far. The previous two matches, Paris Saint-Germain's 2-1 away win against Valencia and Juventus' 3-0 away victory against Celtic, did not attract much attention.

After all, there was a significant gap in strength between the two groups, and the outcome was largely as expected.

The two matches that just ended were quite surprising.

Manchester United lost 0-1 to Borussia Dortmund away from home.

This is not surprising. After all, although Dortmund qualified as the second-placed team in the group, they are still a Bundesliga powerhouse, having qualified ahead of Real Madrid. In addition, given the intimidating atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion, Manchester United's narrow defeat by one goal is not surprising.

Returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United are not without a chance.

The other match didn't receive much attention beforehand because there was a clear gap in strength between Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester City.

Despite playing away from home, almost everyone expects Manchester City to win the game easily.

Well, that's how it turned out; Manchester City won easily.

but……

Isn't it a little too easy for you to succeed like this?

Is a 1-to-9 massacre really a good thing?
The world's media was shocked by Manchester City's dominance. This was a Champions League knockout stage match, and to achieve such a huge point difference made people marvel at the strength of Manchester City and Shan Yongzhuo.

"Scoring five goals in a single match, Shan Yongzhuo's stunning performance plunges the Donbass Arena into despair!" - Bild newspaper's normal report.

"Shan Yongzhuo is a true monster who crushes weaker opponents. Considering his performance in Asia, the massacre of miners doesn't seem so surprising." — The Sun, a gossip newspaper.

"World's top scorer strikes, Manchester City displays championship strength!" - Manchester Sports Daily, which overpraises Manchester City.

"The best player, Shan Yongzhuo, should join the best team, not stay in rough England..." - Marca's somewhat sour comment.

"If Shan Yongzhuo stays at Manchester City, the club will become the world's number one powerhouse because of his presence!" - The Guardian, offering an objective assessment.

"The world's greatest superstar who came from Rome, Roma fans have every right to welcome him back." — Corriere dello Sport, playing the nostalgia card.

"The invincible Shan Yongzhuo, the number one player in Chinese football!" — Tencent Sports, without any scruples.

"Successor to Pelé? Successor to Maradona? He has already surpassed his predecessors!"—This is an endless eulogy from *NetOne Education*.

"According to reliable sources, Shan Yongzhuo has Korean ancestry..." — A strange thing that has infiltrated the Seoul Sports Daily.

"..."

Various reports about Shan Yongzhuo have swept the globe.

After all, this is the Champions League knockout stage. Scoring 5 goals in a single Champions League knockout match and leading the team to a 9-1 victory is truly amazing.

"Go to hell with your Korean blood..."

Upon hearing this news, Shan Yongzhuo was speechless. He then logged into his Twitter account, retweeted the report, and left a rather astonishing comment.

"How could someone with such naturally stunning looks like me possibly have Korean ancestry?"

This tweet immediately went viral.

Fans from other countries naturally watched the spectacle like spectators.

However, some England fans seem to enjoy the drama.

"Heh, Korean ancestry? A single guy should have English ancestry!"

"That's right, Dan should join the England national team!"

“Yes, maybe we can make an exception and let the girls from Shan Yongzhuo’s cheerleading team form a huge family with Shan Yongzhuo, and then give birth to dozens of little Shan Yongzhuos for England.”

"And then what? Decades later, will England dominate football thanks to Shan Yongzhuo's children?"

"Perhaps this is the only way to win the World Cup again, and it might be the best solution for England!"

"A girl? Are you so sure that Shan likes girls? Maybe Shan doesn't like girls? I mean maybe..."

"According to reliable sources, she is very popular even within the gay community and is considered the perfect partner!"

"That won't do, we must leave children for England..." "..."

The English fans were completely off-topic, while the Chinese fans were absolutely furious.

"Shameless! Everything belongs to them?"

"Shan Yongzhuo's reply is brilliant; isn't this mocking South Korea as a plastic surgery nation?"

"They're a country that's always been about plastic surgery!"

"..."

After seeing Shan Yongzhuo's reply, Chinese fans' anger turned into mockery.

It also became popular in South Korea.

However, the points of focus for South Koreans seem rather strange.

It's worth noting that Shan Yongzhuo is very popular in South Korea, especially among female fans who consider him a top idol.

Various girl groups immediately jumped on Shan Yongzhuo's coattails.

Then, their focus completely went astray.

"All natural? That means Shan Yongzhuo hasn't had any plastic surgery?"

"My God, how could he be this handsome without plastic surgery?"

"I want to confess my feelings to Shan Yongzhuo!"

"..."

Surprisingly, there was no awkwardness in South Korea caused by Shan Yongzhuo's tweet. Instead, a wave of female celebrities and girl groups publicly expressed their admiration for Shan Yongzhuo, even influencing domestic public opinion. Many idol dramas even publicly expressed their desire to invite Shan Yongzhuo to play the male lead...

Ok.

At home, Shan Yongzhuo looked at the Korean actresses who had confessed their love to him and browsed through their photos. He felt that they were all the same person.

Then, he looked at the photos Valentina sent him and instantly felt a flutter in his heart.

The contrast is too obvious.

However, these are things we can only look at occasionally.

With the match against Shakhtar Donetsk over, Manchester City have nine days to prepare for their next game.

The next match is in the 27th round of the league, against Chelsea.

Chelsea has recovered somewhat and is currently third in the league, just behind the Manchester clubs. While winning the Premier League title will be difficult, third place seems quite secure.

This match is quite important for Manchester City.

They are currently tied on points with Manchester United, with both teams neck and neck, showing a competitive spirit.

If we lose this game, we'll have to rely on Manchester United's performance.

Manchester City and Manchester United do have a direct confrontation in April, but neither side wants to leave their fate to that time.

Therefore, Guardiola is taking this match against Chelsea very seriously.

In addition, Manchester City is not having an easy time either.

Nasri was injured in the last game and will need to rest for a month, while Silva strained his leg in training and will need to rest for two weeks.

The defense is relatively complete, but the midfield and forward lines have suffered some serious losses.

Therefore, Guardiola looked at Shan Yongzhuo with exceptional fervor.

It seems that the match against Chelsea really can only rely on Shan Yongzhuo...
