Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 525 Is he a Bayern Munich spy?
The camera then returned to the field, focusing on Mandzukic, who was in high spirits after scoring. The topic of discussion has been revolving around Mandzukic ever since.

In the summer, Gomez left Bayern Munich, and Bayern, looking for a replacement for Gomez, brought in Mandzukic for 1300 million euros. Mandzukic has also performed exceptionally well this season, almost immediately securing his position as the starting center forward, scoring 15 goals in 24 league appearances, a performance that can only be described as perfect.

Now, Mandzukic has opened the scoring for Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, also scoring his fourth Champions League goal of the season.

This was not only Mandzukic's fourth goal, but also Bayern's first goal, making it a very important goal in the Champions League final. Naturally, the media showered the Croatian aerial powerhouse with praise.

Simultaneously.

While many media outlets were providing timely coverage of the match, they also began to proclaim headlines such as "Bayern Munich is on the verge of victory," "Now is the moment of miracle," "Manchester City's reign will be ended by Bayern," and "Mandzukic leads the way to victory." However, in reality, the match had only been going on for fifteen minutes.

However, these media outlets are really eager to see Manchester City lose. After all, no one wants to see a single dominant force. If Manchester City wins, they will have successfully defended their Champions League title and truly become the kings of Europe.

There are also comparisons on the field.

After Mandzukic scored for Bayern, the camera didn't forget to focus on Shan Yongzhuo, who remained calm, hands on his hips, looking back at the field.

His action and expression were immediately interpreted by the German media as "frustration with the defense" and "dissatisfaction with his teammates' performance."

Shan Yongzhuo's real thought was: "What a pity, how could I have forgotten that Mandzukic hadn't joined Bayern yet when I was browsing Taobao..."

In addition, Shan Yongzhuo was also thinking that it was time to find a way to score a goal first using his skills, otherwise his teammates' morale would definitely be affected.

Since the start of the match, Shan Yongzhuo has faced the defense twice and has learned the opponent's strategy: to do everything possible to limit his ability to receive the ball, and if he still manages to receive the ball, then they will do everything possible to limit his ability to shoot.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite complicated.

Boateng is quite experienced. He positioned himself firmly in a key position, with Martinez constantly interfering with him. The two of them defended with all their might, making it difficult for Shan Yongzhuo to find a chance to shoot. The opponent would definitely not give him a chance to prove himself.

But that's all there is to it.

The opponent can only prevent him from having a shot on goal; if they really want to shoot, it's still impossible to defend against.

For example, a short pass with slight deviations to get past defenders is actually achievable, as is a direct, high-difficulty shot.

However, the success rate of this approach is not very high.

"It seems the key is to score the first goal first!" Shan Yongzhuo thought carefully and felt that he still needed to find the most fundamental problem.

Bayern Munich are currently in the lead, at their peak, and performing better and better. Scoring a goal to give them a blow would be ideal.

For the next three minutes, Shan Yongzhuo waited in the attacking third without touching the ball. However, Manchester City's attack made some progress. Aguero's attack down the wing was eventually cleared out of bounds by Alaba.

Corner kick.

"I'll take it." Shan Yongzhuo ran over eagerly, gesturing for Aguero to go into the penalty area so he could take the corner kick.

Suddenly.

Bayern Munich's defense is under immense pressure.

Anyone familiar with Shan Yongzhuo knows that once he takes a corner kick, it's almost always a direct shot on goal. He scores so many goals directly from corner kicks, and they are extremely difficult to defend against.

Bayern Munich's defense is also under active discussion.

"Note that he will definitely shoot directly."

"Pay attention to the back!"

“Manuel (Neuer), you should just stand in the middle. It’s dangerous to stand at the near post. Many of his corner kicks are kicked into the far corner.”

"Yes, that makes sense!"

"The forward position is yours, Xavi (Martinez)!"

Aguero's Manchester City teammates also assumed Shan Yongzhuo would shoot directly, so he simply positioned himself outside the box. Of course, given his height, it would be difficult for him to contest for the header. Kompany, Javi Garcia, and Dzeko were all positioned inside the penalty area, ready to contest the header, but none of them seemed particularly aggressive.

at last.

Dan Yongzhuo took small, quick steps, preparing to shoot a free throw.

Everyone watched carefully.

However, Shan Yongzhuo did indeed use his powerful leg to shoot directly. He aimed the ball at the near post, kicking it towards the center of the penalty area before making a sharp turn towards the near post.

Boateng leaped with all his might, trying to get out of the predicament.

The next moment, the football fell, hurtling rapidly towards the near post.

Boateng sensed something was wrong. He jumped but didn't head the ball. In fact, he jumped very high, but before he could even process what he was doing, a sharp pain shot through his right cheek.

Boateng grimaced, and after landing, he covered his cheek, only to find that his cheek was bleeding from being hit by his teeth.

"Damn it!"

He had barely uttered the curse when he realized something seemed amiss.

The fans were cheering, seemingly celebrating for Manchester City?
His teammates and opponents around him were all looking at him in surprise.

"what happened?"

Boateng looked puzzled.

Schweinsteiger walked over with a dark expression and helped Boateng answer his question. He pointed to the goal and replied in a strange way, "Congratulations, Jerome, you scored a goal in the Champions League final. You helped Manchester City equalize."

On the field.

Boateng was stunned. He covered his cheek with his hand, a trace of blood still at the corner of his mouth, but he ignored the pain and stared blankly at the goal.

"Goal?!"

"Bastian said I scored?"

"I... I scored an own goal?"

Boateng looked at the ball in the goal, thought carefully for a moment, and finally understood what had happened. He had just blocked Shan Yongzhuo's shot and jumped high enough. Although he changed the trajectory of the ball, he also affected Martinez's judgment at the near post, and the ball was eventually put into the goal.

The surrounding stands erupted in uproar.

Manchester City fans were celebrating excitedly, laughing and talking about the goal: "It's Boateng, I know him."

"He used to be a Manchester City player, it seems he loves Manchester City more than Bayern Munich!"

"That was a brilliant goal."

"We are no match for Bayern at all; they scored two goals in less than 20 minutes!"

"What an amazing defender! Boateng is a huge contributor to Manchester City's success!"

Manchester City fans were laughing and joking, but Bayern Munich fans weren't feeling so good.

"What is this guy doing?"

Is he really loyal to Manchester City?

"I know he and Shan are good friends, maybe he's trying to curry favor and wants to join Shan's team."
