Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 506 Repaying the Fans with Performance
"0 to 3!"

"The ball went in again!"

The commentator's exasperated voice rang out again, "It's Shan Yongzhuo again, a spectacular solo goal! If we count this as one touch, then he scored three goals with three touches..."

"His third shot completed his hat-trick!"

"Compared to Shan Yongzhuo's performance, the others, especially Adebayo, Bale, and Dzeko..."

"They seemed somewhat sad."

The commentators used the word "sad" to describe the three of them, and the viewers in front of their televisions were deeply moved as well.

The entire first half was dominated by Bale and Dzeko. Adebayor also had his share of opportunities, but despite shining for a half, he failed to score a single goal. Every moment of brilliance turned into a joke.

And what about Shan Yongzhuo?
He spent most of the game standing on the field, hardly even bothering to run, yet he easily scored two goals in the first half.

And now, just as the second half has begun, they have once again completed an amazing solo goal to start the game.

How do you say this?
The camera focused on Bale and Adebayor.

Adebayor is alright. As a homeless person on the field, he has a lot of relatives to support. One loss is not enough to bother him. Money is more important.

Bell's expression was somewhat serious, and also somewhat disappointed.

The next match continued.

Both teams played a very intense first half, and then were caught off guard by Shan Yongzhuo at the start of the second half. So when Tottenham kicked off again, both teams slowed down the pace of the game appropriately.

In the following match, Shan Yongzhuo became virtually invisible again, not touching the ball for a long time.

However, the media and cameras dared not forget him again, fearing that he might accidentally score another goal, but all they got in return was a handsome and warm smile from Shan Yongzhuo in front of the camera.

The most dazzling players on the field were still Dzeko and Bale.

Bale was particularly active, constantly making runs in the attacking third and occasionally orchestrating attacks. He would also rush forward to look for opportunities, and on several occasions, he made some very impressive plays, drawing applause from the Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane.

Dzeko's performance was somewhat worse, but in Manchester City's attack in this match, he was like a lone striker. As the core and fulcrum of the attack, he was still the most outstanding player on Manchester City's side.

Shan Yongzhuo will be accounted for separately.

He has already been very low-key.

He didn't get another touch on the ball until the 62nd minute of the match.

Tottenham's attack finally paid off.

In the 65th minute, Bale unleashed a powerful long-range shot from outside the box, finally piercing the goal guarded by Joe Hart.

This ball ignited White Hart Lane.

After a relentless attack for over 60 minutes, the team finally scored a goal.

It’s really not easy.

Although we're still quite far from equalizing, scoring a goal is a good thing.

The fans applauded their star player, and the Tottenham players were also happy to celebrate.

However, Bale had no intention of celebrating. He rushed into the goal, took the ball, and ran towards the center line while holding it, urging the referee to restart the game as soon as possible.

The rest of the match continued with back-and-forth exchanges.

Shan Yongzhuo finally got a chance to touch the ball, but after he had just turned around and gotten past Dawson with difficulty, Vertonghen, who came out from the side, intercepted the ball.

Tottenham's attacks came wave after wave.

In the 72nd minute, Dempsey's shot, cutting inside, landed on the crossbar and flew into the stands.

In the 79th minute, Bale's direct free kick was narrowly saved by Joe Hart. In the 82nd minute, Adebayor's header in the penalty area hit the crossbar and was cleared by Nastasic.

Manchester City's goal became increasingly vulnerable in the latter part of the second half.

This situation continued until the end of the match, and Tottenham ultimately failed to break through Manchester City's defense again.

White Hart Lane Stadium.

The score on the scoreboard is 1-3, with Manchester City defeating Tottenham away from home.

Tottenham fans were disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.

The team's performance in this match was truly remarkable. They attacked relentlessly from the start, constantly creating opportunities, and ultimately scored a goal.

However, their efficiency is quite different from Manchester City's.

Throughout the match, Tottenham Hotspur outperformed Manchester City in numerous statistical categories, including possession, shots, shots on target, and corner kicks, but they still ultimately lost.

The reason lies with Shan Yongzhuo.

Manchester City had quite a few chances, but none of the other players managed to score.

On the contrary, Shan Yongzhuo took three chances, two of which could hardly be called chances, and then he completed a hat-trick, once again helping the team to victory single-handedly.

Especially after seeing Shan Yongzhuo's extremely high efficiency, fans felt somewhat hopeless.

"There's absolutely no hope!"

"This is simply unplayable; we'd lose even if we played ten more games."

"As long as Shan Yongzhuo is at Manchester City, no other Premier League team should have any hope of winning the title."

"That seems to make sense..."

"I'm somewhat hoping that Shan Yongzhuo will leave Manchester City."

"Yes, I also hope he leaves and joins Tottenham!"

"Tottenham? Don't be ridiculous, we don't have that much money!"

"Sigh, that's true..."

The match is over. Tottenham are actually not too upset about the loss, since they never had any hope of winning the title. They were only fighting for a top-four finish in the league, and they haven't completely lost their chance.

Manchester City, on the other hand, were very happy.

Having defeated Tottenham, we've overcome the toughest challenge in the final rounds, and the remaining opponents are no longer as difficult.

Moreover, if the team wins this round of matches, then the pressure will fall on Manchester United, whose match hasn't even started yet.

The best-case scenario is that Aston Villa can stop Manchester United away from home, although the chances are slim...

Guardiola was very happy at the post-match press conference.

He took Shan Yongzhuo with him to the press conference. He knew that although he was a famous European coach, the reporters would definitely be more interested in Shan Yongzhuo. He was also a little too lazy to deal with those reporters, so he might as well let Shan Yongzhuo make the most of his abilities.

Shan Yongzhuo reluctantly went to face the reporters with Guardiola. Fortunately, the reporters were relatively normal and asked some official questions, which allowed Shan Yongzhuo to talk about the match in peace.

however.

A reporter from the Manchester Sports Daily asked a question that many people were curious about: "There are reports that you will leave Manchester City next season. Can you tell us where you plan to go next season?"

This question sounds like a trap.

As a seasoned veteran of construction sites, Shan Yongzhuo naturally wouldn't jump into a pit. He gave the most official answer: "I may leave Manchester City in the future, but it's all uncertain. Right now, I'm still a Manchester City player. As long as I'm a Manchester City player, I will give my best performance. I will repay Manchester City fans with my performance, which is one goal and one championship after another."
