Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 550 We should have come to La Liga sooner
Nainggolan's pass was very timely, and Shan Yongzhuo's sudden drop back to receive the ball caught the Osasuna defenders off guard, and they were a step too slow to keep up.

By the time Arribas caught up with Shan Yongzhuo, Shan Yongzhuo had already turned around, unleashed a powerful ground kick, and then kicked the ball to the side, easily bypassing Arribas's defense and reaching the edge of the penalty area.

On the other side, Rodis immediately abandoned his defense against Kane and came over to tackle Shan Yongzhuo. Defensive midfielder Punal also rushed over from the side, trying to double-team Shan Yongzhuo.

However, they were all a step too late.

This position was already Shan Yongzhuo's prime shooting zone. Before their defense could react, Shan Yongzhuo swung his right foot to shoot.

"Oh!"

The football drew a beautiful arc, heading straight for the right side of the goal. Fernandez reacted a fraction of a second too late, and his diving save was completely too slow. He could only watch as the football flew into the corner of the goal.

"Hula..."

A murmur of surprise erupted from the stands. Osasuna fans were clearly disappointed by the goal, while Granada fans were ecstatic, celebrating wildly.

I can't help it, I'm just too happy.

When did Granada start performing like this?!
Two goals in just 26 minutes! It's like celebrating the New Year!
"The ball is in!"

The commentator exclaimed, "Shan Yongzhuo received a pass from Nainggolan and, in his signature area, unleashed his best curling shot, helping Granada score their second goal."

"In the 26th minute of the match, the score became 0-2, and the situation was not good for Osasuna."

"The ball was very fast and the angle was very tricky. It was a shot from the Dan Yongzhuo area, and Fernandez had no way to do it. In fact, you can't blame him."

"Shooting from Shan Yongzhuo's zone is a near-unsolvable problem that goalkeepers all over the world need to face together..."

After scoring, Shan Yongzhuo didn't seem excited. He just waved his fist towards the Granada fans' stands, while his teammates rushed over and surrounded him.

Shan Yongzhuo scored the second goal, which made the whole team feel very relaxed.

Many people were also amazed by Shan Yongzhuo's efficiency. He scored twice with just two shots, which was truly terrifying. Despite not having a strong presence on the field, he scored all the goals in the game.

Comparatively speaking, Kane's repeated attacks, Nainggolan's long-range shots, the other players' repeated breakthroughs, and Osasuna's repeated offensives all failed to result in goals; the difference in efficiency was simply too great.

Pellegrini was in an extremely good mood on the sidelines.

The competition was much easier than he had imagined.

Sure enough, coaching Shan Yongzhuo was both simple and easy, and he achieved great success.

Although the annual salary is only 50 euros higher than in Malaga, Pellegrini is glad he made the choice, and Shan Yongzhuo's performance at this moment gives him boundless confidence.

Some players on the field were quite frustrated.

Shan Yongzhuo had already been reduced to a tactical center forward, but he still managed to score all the goals. Despite their repeated efforts, they were unable to find the net.

"What use are we..." some players thought to themselves.

But reality is often cruel.

The third goal also came from Shan Yongzhuo.

In the 32nd minute of the match, Granada was awarded a corner kick.

Shan Yongzhuo took the corner kick, unleashing a powerful shot that resulted in the first direct goal from a corner in La Liga.

"Goal...goal again!"

"In the 32nd minute of the first half, Gunnarsson's long-range shot hit Punard's Rodiz's leg and went out of bounds. Then Shan Yongzhuo completed his signature corner kick and scored directly!"

"This is his first direct goal from a corner kick in La Liga, a classic goal-scoring style that is unique to him!"

"The score is now 0-3!"

"All three goals came from Shan Yongzhuo, completing a hat-trick in 30 minutes!"

Osasuna is helpless!

"Shan Yongzhuo delivered a perfect La Liga debut!" The Osasuna players were quite frustrated.

Their head coach, Gracia, was even more frustrated.

He made some boastful remarks before the match, but now Shan Yongzhuo has completed a hat-trick before the first half is over, and Osasuna has been completely defeated by him, publicly executed at home.

This is really embarrassing.

think about it.

What will the media say after the first round of La Liga?

"Osasuna suffered a crushing defeat, while the world's number one star made a perfect debut."

"Gracia's boastful words have become a laughing stock."

"Beat the world's number one star? Shan Yongzhuo responds to Gracia with his performance."

But what should we do now?
Gracia was completely clueless.

Osasuna's attacking ability is not strong to begin with, so it will be very difficult for them to come back and equalize. Gracia is well aware of this.

Should we continue on defense?
Isn't that a sure loss?

Until the end of the first half, Gracia was still in a daze, completely unable to find a solution to the problem.

Meanwhile, Granada's players were relaxed, chatting and laughing in the locker room, practically ready to pop champagne at halftime.

No one expected the match to be so easy.

They also knew that despite the presence of Shan Yongzhuo, their squad strength was not actually that great. They had a high chance of winning against Osasuna, but it wouldn't be an easy match.

But the result was far beyond their expectations; it was far too easy.

They were just doing their normal jobs, watching Shan Yongzhuo score a goal and winning the game along the way.

It was as easy as going through a formality.

It has to be said that this feeling of winning without lifting a finger is quite enjoyable for most players.

Pellegrini, on the other hand, was in an even more cheerful mood.

When discussing the issues from the first half in the locker room at halftime, he maintained a cheerful smile throughout.

"Now I finally know what it's like for Mancini and Guardiola."

At that moment, Pellegrini felt he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Shan Yongzhuo, however, didn't seem to feel anything.

Although Osasuna is described as one of the most defensively focused teams in La Liga, Shan Yongzhuo did not feel that their defense was particularly fierce or difficult to deal with.

Compared to the top teams in the Premier League, Osasuna's defense is still somewhat lacking.

Even compared to Premier League teams like Reading, Everton, and West Ham United, which aren't considered top teams but have a fierce defensive style, Osasuna's defense is inferior.

"This must be the overall style of La Liga..."

Shan Yongzhuo couldn't help but make this guess.

After all, La Liga is a league where attacking football is prevalent, and the overall defense is not very strong, nor does it place much emphasis on defense.

This made Shan Yongzhuo quite happy.

"Damn it, I should have come to La Liga sooner. It's so much more comfortable here than the Premier League!"
