Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 584 Is there really no way to defeat Shan Yongzhuo?
Granada's television broadcasters went wild, with the commentator excitedly shouting, "Goal! Goal! Goal!"

"Shan Yongzhuo, a one-touch, turn-and-shoot shot!"

"Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!"

"This goal was incredibly fast. Nainggolan's pass found Shan Yongzhuo perfectly, and Shan Yongzhuo barely made any adjustments. He didn't stop the ball before turning; instead, he shot directly from his best position!"

"Barcelona fans would never have imagined that they, who had dominated the game, would concede the first goal in the second half!"

"2 to 3!"

"Granada has completed the comeback, and this goal will likely be a big blow to Barcelona..."

The shot was indeed quite large.

Granada's attack, from interception to goal, took only 15 seconds, a truly lightning-fast goal.

This left them all somewhat bewildered.

How can we fight this!

Before I knew it, that guy had scored again.

Their team tried for a long time but couldn't score first in the second half. The opponent just made a few simple passes and then scored with a difficult shot.

Is it even possible to play football normally anymore?
At that moment, they truly understood the saying that "the ball is round" and that "sometimes the game is really unfair."

Many players even felt despair.

Players like Pique, Busquets, and Iniesta, who have faced Shan Yongzhuo countless times, couldn't help but have an idea pop into their heads.

"Is there really no way to defeat Shan Yongzhuo?"

Camp Nou Stadium.

The scoreboard displayed a score of 2-3, with Granada taking the lead against Barcelona again just over ten minutes into the second half.

The Barcelona players on the field were somewhat desperate.

Even the Barcelona fans around were affected and fell silent.

Actually, being behind schedule isn't a big deal; there's still plenty of time. Under normal circumstances, Barcelona players and fans wouldn't have this kind of mentality.

The key point is that they suffered too many losses because of Shan Yongzhuo.

They've lost too many times, and when facing Shan Yongzhuo, even the slightest disadvantage will be magnified infinitely by them.

Barcelona fans were also somewhat at a loss for words.

Given the current score, should we blame the players on the field? Anyone can see that Barcelona's players have performed quite well.

The players on the field were in good form, and they all worked very hard. For example, Neymar and Sanchez in the frontcourt were constantly looking for opportunities to score, and they did create quite a few dangerous attacks.

Barcelona did indeed maintain control of Granada throughout the match, not giving them any good opportunities.

However, with just one attack, the opponent took the lead and seized the opportunity completely.

There's only one reason for this situation: the other side performed too well.

The opponent wasn't the entire Granada team, but rather that problem that seemed to be an endless puzzle for Barcelona—

Shan Yongzhuo.

In the first half, Shan Yongzhuo took the lead, helping Granada score first and putting them ahead of Barcelona at Camp Nou.

And now, it's Shan Yongzhuo again. He had been performing very poorly, but suddenly he exploded and scored the goal that put them ahead.

We were only slightly distracted for a moment, and he scored again.

This is absolutely horrible. And should we blame the defenders for this play?

It doesn't seem like you can blame them.

Nainggolan made a long run forward, and Busquets had to cover him. Although Nainggolan is a defensive stalwart, his attack is not bad either, and he has a very good long-range shooting ability.

Harry Kane was unmarked, and Pique could cover for him without any problem. They suffered because of Harry Kane in the first half, proving he's not a weak striker.

As for the remaining Bartra, although he was momentarily shaken off by Shan Yongzhuo, he quickly caught up. Under normal circumstances, his defense shouldn't be a problem.

The only explanation is that the other party is too powerful.

On the other side, the commentator for the Catalan broadcast also sighed helplessly. He knew that the defenders couldn't be blamed too much for this play: "It can only be said that Shan Yongzhuo's performance was simply outstanding. He was able to seize any opportunity that appeared even for a fleeting moment. This ability to seize opportunities is unmatched by any other striker..."

"The score has been changed again. Although there are still 30 minutes left, Barcelona is in a dangerous situation and the next game will not be easy."

"The most crucial player is Shan Yongzhuo. He's like a ticking time bomb, leaving Barcelona's backline helpless and preventing their attack from fully committing to the offensive..."

Barcelona really had no way to deal with Shan Yongzhuo.

Head coach Martino is also feeling very troubled.

Substitution?

who?

The players on the field all performed well.

Should we blame Bartra and Pique?

Martino didn't know what to do, so he could only stand on the sidelines with his brows furrowed, unable to come up with a good solution.

Shan Yongzhuo celebrated with his teammates, having scored the winning goal, which was definitely worth celebrating.

The Granada players even held Shan Yongzhuo's celebration for a minute to see who would receive the bonus, until the referee finally couldn't stand it anymore and the celebration ended.

After the celebration, the game resumed.

Barcelona kicks off.

However, their players' mentality was clearly affected, and they became somewhat lost in the game. It cannot be said that they completely lost confidence, but they also felt extremely frustrated.

Then, their first wave of attack was intercepted.

Granada then launched another attack. Nainggolan passed the ball to Van Dijk, and after a few passes, the ball returned to Nainggolan's feet.

Then, through passing, it slowly moved to the vicinity of the midfield.

Nainggolan intends to stabilize the pace of the game.

Nainggolan has a wealth of experience, having played in Serie A for a long time and served as the midfield core of a relegation-threatened team. This gives him a knack for slowing down the pace of the game and finding opportunities in a slower-paced match.

Even after arriving in Granada, he remained the core of the midfield.

He can be considered a player who excels in both offense and defense, but his defense is actually slightly inferior to Gunnarsson's, and his attack is not as fast, creative, or impactful as Ziyech's.

However, Nainggolan's rich experience and control over the game are unmatched by Gunnarsson and Ziyech at present.

This is one of the reasons why Pellegrini has such great trust in Nainggolan.

Nainggolan, who doesn't have a bad temper, is definitely a very strong midfielder number 10.

While organizing the attack, Nainggolan also reminded his teammates to pay attention to the defensive formation and be wary of a potential counter-attack by Barcelona if they lost possession.

Now, defense is much more important than offense.
