Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 520 As expected of Daddy!
Manchester City had a joyous celebration that day.

The club also gave everyone another two days off, leaving only two games left in the entire season, with the final round of the Premier League becoming completely meaningless.

The most important one was that Champions League final.

Manchester City's three-peat has caused a sensation in the European media.

The English media gave this the most extensive coverage, after all, achieving a three-peat in the Premier League is no easy feat.

The most central figure in the report is naturally Shan Yongzhuo.

As a key figure in Manchester City's three-peat, Shan Yongzhuo's achievements this season are still remarkable.

After 37 rounds of the league, Shan Yongzhuo has scored 82 league goals, breaking his own Premier League record of 75 goals set last season.

On the other hand, CTV5's "World Football" produced a special episode for Shan Yongzhuo, which Shan Yongzhuo also saw online.

The entire program revolves around Shan Yongzhuo, starting from his time at Kafimburg, then moving to Roma, and finally to Manchester City. His career is divided into three phases, which are respectively called: Early Success, Roaring Red Wolves, and Dominance.

Many of the footage included previous CTV5 interviews with Shan Yongzhuo, featuring his Manchester home and his Manchester City teammates. CTV5 also thoughtfully interviewed Shan Yongzhuo's former teammates and some friends in the industry with whom he has a good relationship.

For example, Totti, Mexes, De Rossi, Pato, Reus, Spalletti, Mancini and others have all entered the country.

Of course, the entire program highlights how diligent and hardworking Shan Yongzhuo is, as well as the differences between top superstars and others.

Of course, there were many more shots of the match.

This episode was very popular after it aired and quickly spread online, even reaching European countries, where English, German, Italian, and other versions soon appeared.

Dan Yongzhuo watched the video from beginning to end, not missing a single detail. After confirming that the entire video was just him being praised in a fancy way, he couldn't help but give CTV5 a huge thumbs up in his heart: "This is a model of a good TV station that puts its heart into making programs. It truly deserves to be called 'Daddy' TV!"

However, when he shared the video on his Twitter account and with some of his teammates, they did seem a bit strange.

"Shan? He's the one who trains the hardest?"

"Help the head coach develop team tactics? Damn, is this talking about singles?"

"My God, humble and polite? This guy?"

"And another thing, being good at achieving the greatest results with the least amount of effort in a match? This guy is just lazy!"

However, in front of Shan Yongzhuo, his teammates didn't dare to say much. After all, Shan Yongzhuo was the biggest father who led them to endless wins. He accounted for 80% to 90% of Manchester City's total goals in a season, which speaks volumes.

As a result, the comments section was filled with compliments.

"It's such a thoughtful program, it's really well done."

"This show helped me get to know a completely new person."

"Shan is indeed a player full of positive energy."

"After watching this episode, I finally understand why Dan was able to achieve such great success."

Reading these comments made Shan Yongzhuo even happier. The next day, back at the club for training, Shan Yongzhuo was all smiles and participated enthusiastically in the training, without slacking off at all.

Of course, the main reason is that Manchester City held an open training session this time. Manchester City won the league title a round early, but because there is still a Champions League match to compete for, the team did not celebrate with the fans. Instead, they decided to hold two days of open training to share the joy of winning the title with the fans.

The training ground has also been prepared.

For example, banners such as "Manchester City's Three-Time Champions League Winner" and "Striving to Defend the Champions League Title" were hung on the sidelines, which looked very inspiring and motivating.

The area was decorated with balloons and flowers, and the wires surrounding the training ground were cleaned, giving the entire training ground a brand-new look.

Before the official training session even began, the area was already packed with fans.

The fans who came to the event shouted the word "champion" to celebrate Manchester City. On the first day of training after winning the championship, every player looked radiant and wanted to show their good spirit to the fans.

So everyone worked very hard.

Under these circumstances, Shan Yongzhuo also became more diligent.

It wasn't for any other reason; he simply wanted to make a good impression on the fans. After all, in just two more games, he would leave Manchester City and England to start a new career in Spain.

Having lived here for three years, he still really likes the lovely Manchester City fans.

The news of his impending departure was kept strictly confidential; apart from a few people within the club, the outside world had no idea.

Of course, some astute fans noticed something amiss. After all, Shan Yongzhuo only had one year left on his contract, yet he hadn't renewed it with Manchester City, which seemed a bit strange and a sign that he was about to leave.

Many people are unwilling to think about this terrible outcome.

Most fans are well aware that the biggest contributor to Manchester City's current success is Shan Yongzhuo. It could even be said that Shan Yongzhuo brought glory to Manchester City by scoring goal after goal.

Speaking purely of Manchester City's squad, apart from Shan Yongzhuo, although they are all star players, it would be difficult for them to compete for the Premier League title, let alone a three-peat in the Premier League and the Champions League title defense that is very likely to be achieved soon.

Therefore, they weren't unaware of Shan Yongzhuo's departure, but rather unwilling to consider it.

In this atmosphere, a few days later, Manchester City played their final league match at the Etihad Stadium, hosting Norwich City.

There was basically nothing noteworthy about this match.

Manchester City had already secured the title, while Norwich City were comfortably in 12th place in the league. Both teams fielded reserve players, putting on an exhibition match for everyone.

The final score was 2-3, and Manchester City lost the game at home, but it didn't matter anymore.

Manchester City finished with 92 points, setting a new league points record for a club.

Shan Yongzhuo, who did not play in the final round, has now set his Premier League goal tally at 82, improving his Premier League season goal record by 7 goals.

However, this record is probably over. After all, this is Shan Yongzhuo's last Premier League season, a perfect ending to his three-year career at Manchester City.

All that's left is to defend their Champions League title.
