Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 482 The Scumbag's Comeback Scene
“goooooooooooal!”

"The ball is in!"

"A brilliant counter-attack! Shan Yongzhuo received a pass from Javi Garcia and once again broke through on a long run to score a one-on-one goal. No one at Everton could track back in time!"

"1 to 4!"

"Let's take a look at the whole process. Shan Yongzhuo's sprint speed is very fast. He doesn't look exhausted at all. He's as energetic as if he just started the game!"

The commentator's statement was merely a superficial observation by most people.

"This is the sportsmanship of superstars. Even when their physical strength is exhausted, they can still unleash tremendous physical potential and strive to perform at their best when the opportunity arises!"

The television screen showed Shan Yongzhuo panting heavily, as if confirming that he was indeed physically exhausted.

However, it is actually quite normal to catch your breath a few times during such a long sprint.

That's just not how the outside world sees it.

Guardiola panicked and quickly signaled to the fourth official to make a substitution.

Aguero (on top), Shan Yongzhuo (below).

This substitution was to give Shan Yongzhuo a good rest and prevent any unexpected situations from happening to him. The score has now become 1 to 4, with Manchester City leading Everton by 3 goals away from home. With 20 minutes left, Everton has no chance to turn things around.

The outcome of the match has been completely decided.

Dan Yongzhu walked off the field amidst the cheers of the fans. When he reached the sidelines, facing the concern of Guardiola and the substitute players, he repeatedly assured them that he was fine: "My physical condition is normal. I can still run a few kilometers."

However, what he said is no longer important.

In this match, everyone witnessed Shan Yongzhuo's fighting spirit and applauded his performance.

In reality, Shan Yongzhuo also took a look at his own performance.

Running 8856 meters is only considered normal for a professional athlete; if you haven't even reached 10,000 meters, it doesn't count as hard work or effort at all.

The only explanation is that this 8856 meters is simply too outstanding compared to the 2000 meters or so that he runs most of the time.

Just like a scumbag who is usually a terrible person, suddenly he shows deep love, and many people will applaud him, thinking that he has turned over a new leaf.

If an honest person with an excellent reputation suddenly acts like a scumbag, then he will only be criticized.

Now, Shan Yongzhuo is in that kind of "scumbag boyfriend comes back" scenario.

Shan Yongzhuo simply stopped explaining, since it was pointless anyway, so he simply sat down.

He sat on the bench and watched the last twenty minutes of the game. Twenty minutes can feel long or short. Everton played well, posing more threats than Manchester City, and managed to score a goal.

Anichebe's shot was saved by Joe Hart, Nastasic's clearance was not far enough, and Pienaar, outside the penalty area, unleashed a long-range shot that pierced Manchester City's goal.

Everton scored their second goal.

But it's too late.

Manchester City ultimately defeated Everton 2-4 at Goodison Park, securing their victory in the 30th round of the league.

However, Manchester United did not falter, securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Reading at Old Trafford and maintaining their three-point lead over Manchester City.

After the 30th round of the Premier League, the hottest media focus was still on Shan Yongzhuo, who scored 4 goals at Goodison Park, almost single-handedly leading his team to victory over Everton. His performance can only be described as crazy.

Now, Shan Yongzhuo has accumulated 63 goals, 12 goals away from last season's 75 goals.

However, the media is generally not worried, with most believing that Shan Yongzhuo should be able to set a new Premier League goal record by the end of the season. After all, including the postponed Round 29 match, Manchester City still has nine games to play.

Scoring 12 goals in 9 games is difficult for others, but for Shan Yongzhuo, it was no more difficult than drinking a sip of water.

Manchester City are also closely trailing Manchester United, maintaining a 3-point gap.

With nine games remaining in the league, Manchester United are under immense pressure to avoid being caught up.

After all, Manchester City has a much better goal difference than Manchester United, so if the score is tied, Manchester City will win the title.

Moreover, the two teams will face off again in the 32nd round, making the title race in this season's Premier League much more intense than last season.

Despite the lapses of traditional powerhouses like Chelsea and Arsenal, the rivalry between the Manchester clubs has continued since the start of the league and remains a thrilling spectacle.

Manchester City, meanwhile, is also actively preparing for the match.

Next up is the 31st round of the league, where Manchester City will face Newcastle United, while Manchester United will travel to Sunderland for an away game.

Newcastle United is arguably the easiest opponent to face in March, second only to Wigan Athletic.

Newcastle United are currently 17th in the standings, only 6 points away from the relegation zone, and are under great pressure to avoid relegation.

However, Newcastle United's biggest problem is that their defense is simply too bad.

Despite their efforts to avoid relegation, Manchester City found their defense torn apart at the Etihad Stadium, with no easy solutions.

Newcastle wanted to put up a good fight at the Etihad before the league started, after all, they didn't want to be relegated at this stage of the league, even if they faced the powerful Manchester City, they wanted to fight for at least a point away from home.

"This match is a matter of life or death for us, and we have even stronger reasons to fight!"

however……

6 is better than 2!

Newcastle United played reasonably well away from home, scoring at least two goals, but Manchester City scored more, rendering their performance meaningless.

Shan Yongzhuo scored four goals in the first and second halves, shining throughout the match, while Dzeko also scored twice.

The only disappointment was that they conceded two goals.

Guardiola was also somewhat annoyed by this, as Kompany's injury made the center-back position a significant weakness for Manchester City.

What made Guardiola even more unhappy was that half an hour after the match, a match report came from the other side.

Manchester United defeated Sunderland 0-1 away from home.

Although Guardiola never really expected Sunderland to be able to stop Manchester United, the consecutive 1-0 victories were still quite frustrating.

It's clear that Manchester United's form isn't that great.

But they always manage to win games in this most cost-effective way, which frustrates Guardiola.

It doesn't matter anymore, the next round will be a direct confrontation between the two teams.

If we can beat Manchester United outright at Old Trafford, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, before heading to Old Trafford, the entire Manchester City team once again traveled to Spain.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin, with Manchester City first playing away against Malaga.
