Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 579 Pique Gets Crotch-Pierced Again

Barcelona's style of play is giving Granada a lot of headaches.

Ten minutes into the game, Granada has barely had any counter-attack opportunities. Even when they do, the ball is intercepted before it even reaches the penalty area.

Barcelona's front three, especially Sanchez and Neymar, performed exceptionally well, dribbling left and right and putting a lot of pressure on Granada's defense.

That's how it was at the seventh minute.

Fabregas seized the opportunity and kicked the ball to Neymar in the middle.

Neymar turned and feinted to fool Nainggolan, then sprinted with the ball.

Gunnarsson.

Shawcross.

Neymar beat both players in succession, and in one go, he carried the ball to the edge of the penalty area. Surrounded from both sides, he successfully passed the ball to Pedro on the other side.

Fortunately, Van Dijk managed to extricate himself from the predicament.

"Hula..."

The Camp Nou stadium echoed with the disappointed chants of Barcelona fans. They had seen Neymar dribble past two players and thought he had a chance to shoot and score, but unfortunately, he just missed.

It would be great if Neymar could break through one more time.

If Pedro could be a little faster, that would be great.

Granada were also alarmed by Neymar's breakthrough, and they became even more vigilant, especially Nainggolan, who dared not relax for a moment.

He made some bold statements before the match.

At the same time, he put away his slight underestimation of Neymar. The young man that Barcelona was willing to spend 7500 million euros to bring to Camp Nou was indeed no ordinary player.

Barcelona has a strong control over the game; they can control the game by possessing the ball. However, they cannot always maintain possession, and every player will make mistakes.

In the 16th minute, Barcelona made a mistake. Sanchez broke through on the wing and tried to cut inside, but Nyom stopped him and passed the ball back to Van Dijk.

Van Dijk launched a long ball forward, but Busquets blocked it out of bounds.

Sideline ball.

This ball gave Granada a much-needed respite, allowing them to organize a stable attack instead of rushing to clear the ball, only to be unable to regain possession and allow the opponent to launch another attack.

Barcelona's attack is strong, but their defense is equally strong. Their midfield defense is very tight, and their plan is to surround Granada and prevent Granada from having an easy opportunity to get the ball forward to Shan Yongzhuo.

Granada's only way to get through the midfield is through quick dribbling down the flanks.

However, Granada's two flanks in midfield have always been their weak points.

So this time, after receiving the ball, Blind did not pass it forward to James Romero, but instead chose to dribble forward and make an assist.

At this point, Blind's form wasn't as poor as it had been after he joined Manchester United in his previous life. He could be considered Granada's deadly weapon on the flanks.

As a left-back, Blind at this point was capable of both attacking and defending, similar to Marcelo, able to push forward and create opportunities for assists through his accurate passing.

This time, Blind performed very well. He broke through Fabregas and brought the ball to the corner of the penalty area, but it was then cleared by an opposing player.

Another throw-in.

Little Blind was about to throw the ball to Ziyech, but when he saw Shan Yongzhuo running towards him, he immediately turned around and passed the ball to Shan Yongzhuo.

Shan Yongzhuo received the ball on the side of the penalty area, with Bartra behind him.

Busquets also dropped back, preparing to double-team Shan Yongzhuo with Bartra, forcing him to pass the ball or directly stealing it from his feet.

Shan Yongzhuo made a move.

He turned and passed Bartara. Bartara tried to squeeze past him, and although he was physically strong, he was still somewhat bewildered by Shan Yongzhuo, who wasn't carrying the ball. Shan Yongzhuo used a whirlwind ground kick, which, to others, appeared to be a display of exceptional ball control. He firmly controlled the ball and directly turned to break past Bartara.

Bartra is followed by Pique.

Pique had already rushed over, but he was feeling very frustrated.

Damn Bartra, he talked so big before the match, but now he's been beaten so easily.

But no matter how much he was criticized, Pique still had to come over to cover.

The current situation is also quite favorable for Barcelona, ​​with Pique covering the goal directly in front, Bartra on the left, and Busquets on the right.

The three of them together quickly began to surround and trap Shan Yongzhuo.

"He's definitely going to get the ball stolen." That's what everyone was guessing.

Barcelona fans shared this expectation, but they dared not be too complacent, given that their opponent was Shan Yongzhuo, the man who had inflicted too many wounds on Barça.

Sure enough, the next moment, Shan Yongzhuo jumped up.

He jumped directly past Pique on the other side, forcefully breaking through Pique and the encirclement that the three players were about to form. The ball passed right through Pique's legs and returned to Shan Yongzhuo's feet.

Poor Pique got groined again.

"Wow..."

The surrounding stands were immediately stunned.

The Barcelona players were also stunned. Pique, Bartra, and Busquets all tried to double-team them, but this is the result.

"Danger!"

Many people are aware of this situation.

Dan Yongzhu broke through three players, and there was no obstacle in the next three or four meters. Goalkeeper Pinto also realized the danger and he had to come out to attack.

Dan Yongzhuo decisively took a shot and unleashed a powerful strike.

The football flew off the grass. The shot was too close to the goal, and Pinto had no chance to stop it. He could only watch as the ball flew like a cannonball straight into the far corner.

The next moment, the ball went in.

Everyone stared at the white figure rushing into the goal, recalling Shan Yongzhuo's performance just now. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief. In the small space inside the penalty area, he shook off the three players, Pique, Baltara, and Busquets, and completed such a clean and neat shot.

This is truly astonishing.

Neymar is one of them.

He stared blankly at the man who rushed towards the away team's stands and raised his fist in celebration, feeling a pang of unease.

He came to Europe from Brazil with the aim of conquest, and Shan Yongzhuo was one of his biggest targets.

Everyone told him, including Messi, a mentor who was like a guide to him, that he would definitely surpass Shan Yongzhuo and become the greatest footballer on the planet.

That's what he told himself too.

But seeing Shan Yongzhuo's behavior now, he felt very uncomfortable, and at the same time, he kept questioning those people.

"You bastards!"

Am I really better than him?

"Don't try to fool me just because I'm young!"
