Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 594 The Mediterranean Stadium's Defection
"Goal! Goal!"

"Harry Kane, a beautiful header!"

"Granada's first goal of the new year was not scored by Shan Yongzhuo, but by England's young player Harry Kane."

"In just eleven minutes, Granada took the lead against Almería away from home!"

"The score is now 0-1!"

Granada are in the lead!

The Granada fans, who had traveled to the away game, cheered as the television commentator shouted.

They were indeed very excited.

Pellegrini also came to the sidelines and applauded excitedly, "Well done!"

He was indeed very happy.

The fact that the first goal wasn't scored by Shan Yongzhuo is actually a good sign, showing that Granada's other players also have the ability to score, and they don't necessarily have to rely entirely on Shan Yongzhuo's goals.

This is certainly a good thing for a team.

On the field.

Harry Kane was very excited after scoring the goal and warmly hugged Daley Blind.

Meanwhile, Almeria on the other side was quite frustrated.

They thought they were fully prepared to deal with Shan Yongzhuo, but they were the first to concede a goal to Granada's other players.

This was a huge blow.

When the game resumed, their performance was still dominated by Granada.

In the 26th minute, Shan Yongzhuo arrived.

J. Romero's breakthrough on the wing earned him a corner kick.

Shan Yongzhuo scored directly from a corner kick, showcasing his signature move.

Goalkeeper Esteban tried his best to save the ball, but the angle was too tricky, the trajectory of the ball was very unpredictable, and the speed was extremely fast, leaving him with no way to save it.

0:2.

The stands immediately erupted in cheers from Granada fans, with even some Almería supporters joining in.

"Wow, that's really impressive!"

"Yes, he truly deserves to be called the world's number one goal-scoring machine."

"Scoring directly from a corner kick like that is actually one of his specialties!"

"too frightening!"

"..."

Almería fans were buzzing with discussion, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they were down 0-2, or rather, indifferent to the situation.

In their view, this match was a doomed defeat.

Seeing Shan Yongzhuo score directly from a corner kick is already worth the price of admission; there's nothing to regret.

As for the match, it was a match we were going to lose anyway, so what's there to be disappointed about if we lose by a few goals?

So, when the third goal came, more and more people joined the Granada fan camp.

In the 39th minute of the match, it was Shan Yongzhuo again. He used a whirlwind ground kick to break through from ten meters out of the penalty area, but was eventually pulled down by Canorea, winning a free kick opportunity.

Shan Yongzhuo took the penalty and delivered another signature dipping shot.

The football once again blasted into Almería's goal without any suspense.

0:3.

Before halftime was even over, Almeria had already suffered a complete defeat.

However, what frustrated Almeria's players the most was not this, but that almost all the home fans had defected.

All the fans at the Mediterranean Stadium seemed to have become supporters of Shan Yongzhuo, cheering him on.

This left Almeria's players so frustrated they were practically spitting blood.

They're practically playing an away game!

What kind of fans support the opposing team to break through their own goal? But Almería fans did just that.

This is truly a sad thing.

Fortunately, they held on to their lead in the final moments of the first half.

0:3.

This is the score at the end of the first half.

Then, after the start of the second half.

Almeria's players became more aggressive, committing more fouls in an attempt to stop the score from widening further.

However, Almería's plan still failed.

In the 62nd minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo dropped back to receive the ball ten meters from the penalty area, and then used his Ghost Hand technique to unleash a long-range shot that pierced Almería's goal before the opponent could foul him.

The score became 0-4.

Shan Yongzhuo also completed a hat trick once again.

At this point in the competition, the outcome has completely lost its suspense.

Based on the situation on the field, Pellegrini made timely substitutions to avoid injuries to key players, especially Shan Yongzhuo.

If Shan Yongzhuo were to suffer serious injury, it would be a real loss.

Granada made two substitutions in the 63rd minute of the match.

Flores came on as a substitute, replacing Shan Yongzhuo.

Siqueira came on as a substitute, replacing Blind.

These two substitutions can be seen as protecting two key players who are of great importance.

However, this also gave Almeria a chance to catch its breath.

The rest of the game not only became garbage time, but also garbage time that was completely devoid of any interesting moments.

The two teams played a back-and-forth game, somewhat like two novice players pecking at each other.

Ultimately, neither side managed to score again, and the score remained 0-4. Granada secured a winning start to the new year at the Mediterranean Stadium thanks to Shan Yongzhuo's first hat-trick of the year and a goal from Harry Kane, solidifying their position in the standings.

After the match, everyone in Granada was very relaxed.

The next day, the media was full of news about the first round of the new year.

Granada's away victory over Almería was a result that was not unexpected, so the media did not pay much attention to it.

The only thing worth noting is that Shan Yongzhuo's La Liga goal tally this season has reached 48, just 2 goals away from Messi's 50.

It seems like the record will be broken in the next game.

Their next opponent, Valladolid, seems to have no chance of stopping Shan Yongzhuo from scoring more than two goals, no matter how you look at it.

La Liga media gave this extensive coverage and even sought to interview Messi, but he declined.

As for Shan Yongzhuo, he declined the interview as usual.

He is very happy now, but this happiness can only be enjoyed by himself.

His endurance has reached 88 points, just 12 points away from returning to normal. 12 points is only 60 goals.

While it's unlikely we'll achieve this goal this season, it shouldn't be too long before we do next season.

The long-awaited goal will soon be achieved.

This is the happiest thing.

In the other matches, the strong teams also won their matches, and there were no major upsets.

Barcelona's 4-0 home victory over Elche, matching Granada's scoreline, was entirely expected.

Real Madrid's 3-0 home win against Celta Vigo was nothing particularly noteworthy.

The only team to falter was Atlético Madrid.

They were held to a 0-0 draw away to Malaga, who are mired in bankruptcy, in what was the only upset of the round.

This also widened the gap between Atletico Madrid and Granada to two points again.
