Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 512 Is this really not some kind of cutting-edge technology?
Shan Yongzhuo can't be called a complete slacker; he does prepare for the match. For example, he analyzed various data of Borussia Dortmund, including match data from the league, Champions League, and German Cup.

Borussia Dortmund averages 20 shots per game in the Champions League and 27 shots per game in the league, which is quite an outstanding statistic.

Therefore, this is actually a team that is stronger in offense than in defense.

If I just wait patiently for the opportunity, I will definitely find it. When the time comes, I will use my skills well and be able to score two or three goals.

Then all we need to do is wait for the opportunity.

As for the outcome...

If Manchester City scores three goals and still can't beat Borussia Dortmund, then there's nothing more to say.

There's nothing you can do if your son is hopeless.

Manchester City is clearly not such a bad team.

As the match continued, although Dortmund intensified their attack, Manchester City clearly maintained the upper hand, launching even more aggressive offensives and continuously putting pressure on Dortmund.

Dortmund actually played quite well. Their defense was solid and their counter-attacks were impressive, but they were at a disadvantage in terms of attacking frequency. Being suppressed so badly in the first half, it was difficult for them to launch truly high-quality counter-attacks.

The Dortmund players became increasingly anxious as the game progressed.

Klopp wasn't the only one who knew what this goal meant.

Most of Dortmund's players are tactically astute, and they all understand that if Manchester City takes the lead with an away goal, it will put their team in a very bad position. To take control, they must score as soon as possible.

More importantly, the presence of a formidable weapon like Shan Yongzhuo in the backcourt prevents many of them from fully committing to the offense.

Hummels felt it most deeply.

When the game reached the 25th minute, Hummels sensed a slight change in Shan Yongzhuo. Just moments before, the opponent hadn't even been running, but now he was clearly starting to consciously drop back and try to get the ball.

In addition, he also began to pay attention to running left and right continuously, creating space to receive the ball laterally.

This relieved Hummels.

For a defender, the most feared type of striker is not one who constantly carries the ball and attacks the defense.

Defenders dislike precisely those assassin-type strikers the most, such as AC Milan's Filippo Inzaghi, or Roma's Montella.

These kinds of players are usually hard to notice; they're the kind who hide themselves. But when the opportunity truly comes, these players will strike with deadly precision.

These kinds of players are the most troublesome for a tanky, all-around center-back like Hummels.

Shan Yongzhuo's performance just now was exactly like a top-tier version of Inzaghi.

Hummels now feels that dealing with the opponent is easier, at least he has a target to target.

In the 27th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo's drop back to receive the ball was stopped by Hummels, but his tackle was too aggressive and brought Hummels down, giving Manchester City a free kick opportunity.

This position is about 40 meters from the goal, and even Shan Yongzhuo had to give up the option of shooting directly.

Silva took the penalty.

Dan Yongzhuo came to Silva's side and whispered, "Just lob the ball high into the penalty area in a bit."

Silva nodded.

Then Shan Yongzhuo stood inside the penalty area line, waiting with a group of people for an opportunity to score.

Silva looked at the goal carefully, his expression very serious, but everyone knew he couldn't shoot directly; it was definitely a pass.

Borussia Dortmund made ample preparations.

Silva did indeed pass the ball; he always resolutely follows Shan Yongzhuo's orders. The ball flew high and landed slightly to the left of the center of the penalty area.

But he still missed.

Shan Yongzhuo was positioned on the right, which drew a group of players to the right as well, and then a whole bunch of people rushed over to try and get a point.

Shan Yongzhuo was one of them.

Bender was the closest to the landing point; he had already secured the landing position.

Although he was still a little unsteady, he had already shown his forehead and was preparing to jump lightly to clear the ball. In an instant, everyone else stopped running and waited for Bender to clear the ball.

Shan Yongzhuo continued to accelerate and arrived beside Bender.

Cyclone floor leg application.

This distance is sufficient to initiate the attack.

Bender confidently cleared the ball, but when it reached him, he suddenly realized that his head seemed to be tilted slightly.

"it should be no problem?"

He reassured himself that the ball had indeed grazed his forehead.

Then, the football dropped to the right rear.

Shan Yongzhuo waited there calmly, his body blocked by Hummelska who had caught up, but he still ran towards the ball. The ball, like a child leaving kindergarten, landed in the spot that Shan Yongzhuo had predicted.

Unfortunately, in the end...

Shan Yongzhuo found himself becoming unsteady on his feet.

That was Hummels pulling.

damn it!
The skill is going to be wasted.

Hummels's tug caused Shan Yongzhuo to lose his balance immediately. He only took two steps forward before falling to the ground in a dog-faced position.

Several players nearby couldn't help but grimace, while the Dortmund players were somewhat worried that the referee would blow the whistle. This was a foul in the penalty area, and if the referee blew the whistle, it would definitely be a penalty kick.

But the next moment.

The football landed smoothly on the back of Shan Yongzhuo's head, and then...

The soccer ball bounced up into the air.

To goalkeeper Weidenfeller's astonishment, the football somehow curved in mid-flight and disappeared into the corner of the net.

"Hula..."

The whole place was in an uproar.

Dan Yongzhuo used his arms to support himself as he stood up, forcefully spitting out the grass in his mouth, and rushed towards the referee immediately.

"Penalty!"

"He definitely fouled!"

"You should have blown the whistle; that was a terrible foul!"

Shan Yongzhuo continued his aggressive rant, while the referee looked at him as if he were an idiot.

His teammates came over and pulled him away, and they were all speechless.

Following his teammate's words, Shan Yongzhuo looked towards Dortmund's goal, only to end up with a look of utter embarrassment.

and so.

Did the ball go in?

The referee breathed a long sigh of relief, but still blew his whistle and gave Hummels a yellow card.

He realized what was happening, and his expression immediately became somewhat indescribable.

This goal was indeed somewhat comical and unexpected.

But, my God.

What did he see?
Can you even head a ball with the back of your head?
Moreover, it was an unconscious, passive header.

How can you create a curved ball that goes straight to the corner like that?
The referee really wanted to pry open Shan Yongzhuo's head to see what was inside.
They can head the ball in like that.

Is this really not some kind of cutting-edge technology?
