Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 509 Shan Yongzhuo's Girlfriend Fans

The Manchester City team arrived in Dortmund the day before the match.

After booking the hotel and having dinner, Guardiola arranged a tactical lesson.

Guardiola gave Dortmund another analysis, telling the players what they should do on the field, and that it was time for them to rest and adjust.

Borussia Dortmund was very generous, arranging for Manchester City to train at the Westfalenstadion, which made everyone at Manchester City feel very good.

The home team rarely invites the away team to the stadium for training before each away game, but Borussia Dortmund did it anyway.

Of course, Dortmund's plan was very shrewd; they had the right to open the stadium.

Then, when Manchester City arrived at the stadium, they were surprised to find that the stadium was completely open to fans, many of whom had bought tickets just to watch Manchester City's training session.

Of course, to be precise, a large number of female fans entered the venue to watch Shan Yongzhuo.

The Manchester City players were stunned.

"Dortmund is really clever!"

"There must be at least 20,000 fans here..."

"So what? Didn't you see? Almost everyone here is here to support the order."

"And more than 60% of them are female fans!"

"Look over there, our women's cheerleading squad has arrived, several thousand people."

"What do you mean 'we'? That's just a single cheerleading squad."

"..."

Manchester City were very frustrated, but their negotiations with Borussia Dortmund yielded no results, and they couldn't change stadiums, otherwise their morning training session would be canceled. Therefore, they could only complete the training session while watching from the sidelines.

Having fans watching has its advantages; at least the Manchester City players' training attitude instantly became incredibly positive, with no one slacking off and everyone completing the tasks step by step.

Normally, Shan Yongzhuo's training wouldn't be considered lazy, but now, compared to this, he immediately becomes the laziest one.

For example, during the warm-up run, Shan Yongzhuo was the last one to finish.

Media reporters also noticed this, with German media naturally speculating: "Shan Yongzhuo must be in poor form, otherwise how could he have finished last?"

English media, however, speculated with a knowing look: "Is he just trying to mislead his opponents again?"

Shan Yongzhuo's training wasn't exactly enthusiastic, but he was definitely the most watched. Even just receiving the ball and running around would immediately elicit screams and cheers from a large number of female fans in the stadium, much like the treatment given to a top-tier male celebrity in the entertainment industry.

Many people came to Dortmund specifically to support Shan Yongzhuo, and the vast majority of them were female fans who rushed over from all over Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, France, Austria and other neighboring countries and regions.

Especially in one section of the stands, a group of enthusiastic female fans were all wearing the number 19 jersey that Shan Yongzhuo wore during his time at Kaffinburg, and their cheering was just as enthusiastic as that of Shan Yongzhuo's female cheerleading team at Manchester City.

Those were female fans from Kaffinburg, Austria. As the team where Shan Yongzhuo debuted, these female fans acted as if they were Shan Yongzhuo's first love.

Besides these people, there are also many female fans who don't like or understand football at all, but come simply to support Shan Yongzhuo. These people are called Shan Yongzhuo's "face fans".

Shan Yongzhuo is incredibly famous worldwide, especially for his unparalleled handsome looks and irresistibly charming skills, which have won him a huge following of female fans around the globe, making him arguably the world's number one superstar. This has led to him breaking a Guinness World Record for his extraordinary number of female fans, earning him the title of "the man every woman in the world wants to sleep with."

Of course, there were also many true fans of the game, such as a considerable number of male fans, who were genuinely impressed by Shan Yongzhuo's skills.

With the enthusiastic support of the fans, the team completed the training in a comfortable manner, and all the players became more energetic.

In the afternoon, Borussia Dortmund finally closed the stadium, allowing Manchester City to resume normal training, though they didn't have much time to train.

soon.

With an hour to go before the match started, Manchester City players went to the locker room early and then rested.

A great war is about to begin.

Manchester City returned to the stadium and finally faced Borussia Dortmund.

The two teams were positioned on opposite sides and barely interacted. Dortmund players frequently glanced at Manchester City, with most of their attention focused on Shan Yongzhuo.

No matter how ambitious they were before the match, as the game approached, they found that they were genuinely a little intimidated by Shan Yongzhuo.

After the warm-up, the time before the match quickly came to an end.

As the starting lineups of Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City entered the pitch on opposite sides, Westfalen erupted in thunderous cheers.

Europe's top-tier, intimidating home ground truly lives up to its reputation.

The terrifying roar from the South Stand completely drowned out the voices of the away team, Manchester City fans. Even though Manchester City had experienced various home games, the players still felt a bit nervous when they came to Westfalen Stadium again.

Dortmund is a team with strong tactical execution. In this match, Klopp asked them to tighten their defense and focus on defense. Once the match started, they did just that. The whole team kept retreating, and their impenetrable defense and relentless pressing would give any team a headache.

Manchester City fielded a 4-4-2 formation for this match, with Milner, Yaya Toure, Javi Garcia and Silva lined up in midfield, and Shan Yongzhuo partnering Aguero in attack.

Manchester City's midfield and attack need space to make an impact. They launched two attacks at the start of the game, but both were intercepted just as they reached the edge of the penalty area. Dortmund took advantage of this and launched a counter-attack. Reus's cross from the wing almost created a scoring opportunity, but fortunately, the returning Kompany defended solidly, forcing Lewandowski to take a hasty shot, which was easily caught by Joe Hart.

The match had been going on for ten minutes when the overall situation became clear.

Manchester City currently has no good solutions against Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund's defense is deep, and Manchester City still controls 57% of possession. They are the ones in control of the game, and while they can't be said to have an absolute advantage, they are doing a respectable job.

However, Dortmund had the advantage in terms of scoring threat.

Dortmund completed three counter-attacking shots. Apart from Lewandowski's shot, which was not very threatening, Götze's breakthrough shot and Bender's long-range shot were both very dangerous.

Manchester City only managed one shot, a wild shot from outside the box by Yaya Toure that flew directly into the stands and posed no threat whatsoever.

At this point, both head coaches had basically figured out some of the problems on the field.

Klopp's wrinkles eased slightly; the game was progressing in the direction he had hoped for.

Manchester City took the initiative, while Dortmund used their speed on the wings to launch counter-attacks.

That's how the game is going right now.
