Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 498 Harry Kane and Nainggolan

The television screen continuously replayed the goal, allowing viewers to savor the brilliance of the strike.

Everyone was shocked.

Some Manchester City fans recalled that Shan Yongzhuo had scored many such brilliant headers, but none of them were as spectacular as this one. He headed the ball directly to himself, and then finished it off with a header from such a distance and at such an off-center angle. It was truly unbelievable.

The commentator concluded: "Shan Yongzhuo's head... well, we all know that Shan Yongzhuo has the best feet in the world at scoring goals, now we can draw another conclusion, he also has the best head in the world at scoring goals."

"He might be very suitable for a shaved head; I think a lot of people would be very interested in his head."

After a brief silence, the stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers from Manchester City fans. Shan Yongzhuo's name echoed throughout Old Trafford, and everyone could hear the shouts. Such a loud cheer in an away game was a testament to the support Manchester City fans had for him, especially the English cheerleaders, who were his most ardent supporters.

But no one on the field was jealous; every player knew how incredible Shan Yongzhuo's goal was.

The same goes for his Manchester City teammates.

Many teammates, such as Barry, Javi Garcia, Aguero, and Nastasic, rushed over and patted his head without restraint.

Shan Yongzhuo was very disgusted by this; his handsome hairstyle had been turned into a bird's nest by touching it.

"Go away!"

"You bunch of bastards, don't touch me!"

"Don't touch it, my hair is messed up!"

opposite.

The Manchester United players were also in shock, and as they recalled the goal, they felt utterly helpless.

By this point in the game, they all knew that they had been completely defeated by Manchester City.

In the 82nd minute, trailing 0-3, there was no chance left.

On the sidelines, Ferguson looked helpless.

He felt he had done everything he could, but there was still nothing he could do, which was truly disheartening.

But immediately, he remembered what Ferdinand had told him.

"Dan will go to La Liga next season."

"He invited me to join his Granada team!"

Thinking of this, Ferguson suddenly felt a glimmer of hope again.

It must be said that Ferdinand's words were quite appealing, and Ferguson himself had heard some of the rumors, so the news was likely true.

"If he leaves, maybe I can play another season?"

Ferguson couldn't help but think that he really wanted to end his coaching career with a Premier League title.

Unfortunately, with Shan Yongzhuo, that big devil, around, it seems he has no way to deal with it.

But what if this great demon king leaves?

Let him go to La Liga and wreak havoc on Real Madrid and Barcelona. Manchester United only needs to win back the Premier League title.

Despite having Guardiola, Ferguson believed that the difference between Manchester City with or without Shan Yongzhuo was like the difference between the earth and the sun.

The match ended quickly.

The score remained unchanged, with Manchester United suffering a 0-3 defeat to Manchester City at their home ground, Old Trafford.

They didn't just lose the Manchester derby again; they also handed over the top spot in the league to Manchester City, and may even lose the league title they had a good chance of winning this season.

Manchester City, on the other hand, were jubilant. Having defeated Manchester United, they had at least taken the initiative in the title race.

This is a three-peat, the standard of a dynasty team!
Players like Silva, Yaya Toure, and Milner, who all experienced the three-peat together, were especially overjoyed.

For a professional athlete, given the shortness of their career, everyone pursues nothing more than two things: money and honor.

For these Manchester City players, money is not a concern. Manchester City is a wealthy team, and they earn significantly more money here than at other teams.

So, all that's left is to pursue honor.

Once they achieve great success at Manchester City, they can clear their name and erase the "stain" of joining Manchester City for money.

Shan Yongzhuo was naturally very happy.

This so-called "stain" also accompanied him back then.

At that time, he was pursued by many top clubs, but no one expected that he would choose Manchester City, a team considered foolish and rich, and a laughing stock who had failed to replicate Chelsea's success.

But now, once he achieves a three-peat, this "stain" will be completely wiped clean, and he will become the first player in Manchester City's history to achieve this, and Manchester City's number one legend.

Even Shan Yongzhuo, who only pursues money and goals, couldn't contain his excitement when he thought of such an honor.

After the match, Shan Yongzhuo happily accepted an interview.

It was quite rare for him to attend a press conference with Guardiola.

Having scored two goals in the match, he naturally became the focus of the press conference, with the media bombarding him with questions.

However, the questions asked were nothing more than meaningless chatter like "How do you feel?", "League outlook", and "Do you aspire to win the championship?"

After the match, it's time for a break.

Shan Yongzhuo was in a good mood. The next match was the second leg against Malaga. In the last leg, they defeated Malaga 8-1 away. Shan Yongzhuo was not included in the squad for this leg.

Although he missed a game where he could score goals, Shan Yongzhuo was still in a good mood. At least he got some rest and time to adjust before fully committing to the league.

Malaga has arrived in Manchester, and the match is about to begin.

However, this match received very little attention because there was no suspense whatsoever.

However, before the match, Shan Yongzhuo met with Pellegrini together with Kroos, and the three of them had dinner together at Shan Yongzhuo's home.

Pellegrini was very excited, after all, Shan Yongzhuo had personally admitted at dinner that he would definitely join Granada next season.

Moreover, Pellegrini also received the list from Shan Yongzhuo, and Kroos is currently working on the players on that list.

The players on the list puzzled Pellegrini, since most of them were relatively unknown, with the most famous being players like Salah and Son Heung-min.

Although he was somewhat resentful about not having the right to transfer players, Pellegrini didn't say much. After all, he was already quite satisfied with having Shan Yongzhuo under his command, and as long as the other players weren't too bad, that was fine.

Meanwhile, the shrewd businessman Kroos brought some good news: two of the players on the list have already received friendly responses from their respective clubs.

One is 19-year-old Harry Kane, who has been on loan at Tottenham in the Championship. Although Tottenham are quite optimistic about this local talent, when Kroos offered £500 million for him, the usually thrifty Tottenham could not resist the temptation of money and were very interested.

Another option is Radja Nainggolan, the Belgian midfielder for Serie A's Cagliari. His €800 million offer is enough to make Cagliari treat Toni Kroos as their most distinguished guest.

The unscrupulous businessman Shan Yongzhuo was also delighted to hear this news. He believed that the two men's future net worth would definitely be much more than this, and this was a deal that could multiply many times over.

Given Harry Kane's peak years and market inflation, he should be able to sell for 100 million.

At his peak, Nainggolan was definitely a player worth 4000 to 5000 million euros.

Negotiating these two deals will definitely result in a profit.
