Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 526 Making a Name for Himself at Montrezl.

Heynckes was feeling just as bad as the Bayern fans, his solemn gaze filled with helplessness and sighs.

How should I describe this ball?

From any perspective, it seems to be Boateng's own mistake, but in the Champions League final, this goal rendered Mandzukic's goal meaningless. A single goal can potentially influence the final outcome, and Bayern's advantage vanished.

Now, the two teams are back on the same starting line.

Of course, Boateng certainly didn't do it on purpose; he couldn't have done it even if he wanted to, since it was a goal in the cheek.

In the words of the English commentator, "This goal will certainly become one of the 'classic' goals in the Champions League final."

"Boateng will definitely be remembered; with this goal, he will leave a very significant mark on Champions League history."

The same is true.

Nowadays, many people know Boateng's name.

More than 500 million people worldwide watched the live broadcast of this match. A large portion of them were not die-hard football fans; they were watching because of the immense fame of the Champions League final. Another large portion were fans of Shan Yongzhuo's looks and were watching the match because of him.

But now, it doesn't matter, almost everyone remembers Boateng's name.

Television stations around the world repeatedly shouted: "Boateng scored an own goal," "He scored an own goal with his face," "This is probably the funniest goal of Boateng's season, no, his career."

Thanks to television, even those who aren't football fans now know Boateng's name.

"Is that big, clumsy guy called Boateng?"

"Could he be an undercover agent?"

“I think he would have a great career in Hollywood, just look at his expression.”

"Is this a comedy movie shoot or a football match?"

Fortunately, the players on the field didn't know what the spectators were saying, otherwise Boateng would have really been furious.

He really didn't do it on purpose.

It was just an accident!

Since joining Bayern Munich from Manchester City, he has quickly grown into a key defender for Bayern and a top defender in the Bundesliga, gaining considerable fame in Europe and gradually being regarded as one of the best among the new generation of center-backs.

However, this shot seems to have made him lose all his brilliance.

Scoring an own goal isn't so terrible; even the best center-backs are bound to score some.

However, scoring an own goal in the Champions League final, especially one that helps the opponent equalize, carries a completely different significance.

"What bad luck!"

Boateng was furious.

Martinez walked over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "It's okay, Jerome. Like you just said, the game has only just begun, anything can happen, right?"

Boateng glared at Martinez, thinking that the guy seemed to be comforting people, but actually had ulterior motives.

More importantly, he also saw the look that Shan Yongzhuo was giving him, a look that seemed to want to kill.

"But why?"

"Didn't that ball go in?"

"What does he have to be unhappy about?"

Boateng really couldn't understand what Shan Yongzhuo was thinking.

Dan Yongzhuo was naturally in a bad mood. He had used his powerful leg kick on that ball, and he thought it was almost a certain goal, but because of Boateng's interference, it turned into an own goal. "What bad luck!"

"Forget it, Bayern will probably panic if they score another goal."

Shan Yongzhuo finally settled down and focused on the competition.

The situation on the field gradually began to favor Manchester City, and they slowly began to turn the tide. After Boateng scored an own goal, the two sides were back on equal footing, which had a different impact on their mentality.

Everyone at Bayern Munich was extremely frustrated. If Shan Yongzhuo had scored directly from the corner kick, they wouldn't have been so upset. But in their eyes, it was an own goal by Boateng.

Therefore, they might think that if Boateng hadn't interfered, the ball wouldn't have gone in.
Thinking like that makes me feel incredibly depressed.

Manchester City, on the other hand, were in high spirits. They saw the opponent's goal as still a goal, and quickly equalizing the score put them at ease, which led to their increasingly better performance.

of course.

Manchester City's performance gradually improved, but they were unable to dominate the game. Their possession rate only increased, and the possession rate of both sides gradually became even, with each side accounting for 50%.

More importantly, Manchester City's increased possession did not come from ineffective passing in their own half, but from a genuine increase in chances.

In the 31st minute, Manchester City advanced normally, passing the ball to Silva on the wing.

After receiving the pass, Silva dribbled forward a short distance and looked around, seemingly searching for his next target.

But in the end, Silva did suddenly accelerate, shaking off the opponent's defense, and moved forward about ten meters before delivering a very skillful cross.

The passing sequence was quite ordinary, and the height and trajectory weren't particularly well-controlled, but the key was the timing and placement of the pass.

Shan Yongzhuo sprinted and ran to the left to receive the ball.

Boateng didn't have time to adjust; his movement was a beat too slow. Martinez also didn't react to the sudden pass and couldn't keep up immediately.

The ball came from the left, and Shan Yongzhuo wanted to shout, "Great ball!"

But he had no time to be distracted; instead, he faced the ball and raised his right foot high.

He met the ball with a first-time half-turn and a powerful shot!
With a thud, the football rushed towards the goal, and judging from its trajectory, it was heading for the far corner.

Exclamations immediately erupted from the stands.

Neuer made a desperate save, almost in a very extreme way, but he was just a step too late, and the ball headed into the goal before Neuer could reach it.

"Hoohoo!"

An uproar immediately erupted from the stands, and Manchester City fans rose to their feet, shouting and celebrating.

“goooooooooooal!”

"Shan, Shan Yongzhuo!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!"

The English commentator stood up excitedly and shouted in the loudest voice: "Shan Yongzhuo, he has scored Manchester City's second goal."

"In the 31st minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo received a pass from Silva on the left side of the penalty area and completed a brilliant half-turn, first-time shot, helping Manchester City take the lead!"

"A brilliant goal, an incredible performance from Shan Yongzhuo!"

"He scored a Champions League goal, and he helped the team take the lead!"

"Now, Bayern Munich is in a dangerous situation, while Manchester City can almost dream of defending their Champions League title!"
