Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 596 Record-Breaking Moment

Although Shan Yongzhuo was indifferent and didn't take this so-called record moment to heart at all.

But at this moment at the Camenes Stadium, he undoubtedly became the protagonist.

All the cameras were pointed at it, and everyone stared intently, hoping to witness this great moment with their own eyes.

Dan Yongzhuo placed the ball on the penalty spot and then gave his teammates an OK sign. His nonchalant attitude made him seem very confident and had a great mindset.

The referee quickly signaled that the penalty kick could be taken.

Dan Yongzhuo glanced at the goal, then took a step back, stepped forward, and swung his right foot high.

"Oh!"

The football flew towards the right side of the goal.

"Shh!"

Valladolid's goalkeeper dove to his left, becoming the backdrop for the ball flying into the goal, captured by cameras and other equipment, and used as the headline image in the media that day.

The Camenes Stadium erupted in cheers.

Shan Yongzhuo not only made the score 3-0 with a penalty kick, but also scored his 51st La Liga goal of the season, breaking Messi's La Liga goal record of 50 goals.

Although it was just an ordinary goal, a penalty kick with nothing special to say, the addition of the record-breaking aura made it seem extraordinary.

The stands all around.

Granada fans are celebrating wildly.

Many Valladolid fans who came to the away game also stood up and applauded. They applauded the record-breaking goal, even though it was scored against Valladolid. They felt that seeing this goal was very meaningful.

The whole stadium erupted in cheers after the goal was scored.

All eyes and cameras were focused on Shan Yongzhuo, who had set a new record. He was surrounded by his teammates, and even goalkeeper Fernandez rushed over. Everyone was talking about the new record and offering their congratulations.

"Congratulations, you got a single."

"51 goals, God, I think this record will remain dormant for many years."

"Impossible, this record will only remain dormant for a few days, because Dan will definitely score again next."

"You're right."

"Therefore, every game and every goal from now on will be a new record."

Dan Yongzhuo accepted his teammates' blessings with a sense of helplessness. He was really calm inside and didn't take the record to heart at all.

After a short celebration, the game resumed.

However, the remaining time seemed to have completely lost its meaning. Valladolid was powerless to resist and could only defend, while Granada did not continue their fierce attack but instead decided to stop while they were ahead.

The score remained 3-0 until the end.

Finally, with the referee's whistle, the match officially ended. Granada, thanks to Shan Yongzhuo's hat-trick, easily defeated Valladolid at home, securing victory in the 19th round of the league and earning three points.

More importantly, battle reports came from the front.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played to a 0-0 draw at home, with neither team able to score and the match ending in a draw.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Shan Yongzhuo couldn't help but think of this word.

With Atletico Madrid and Barcelona drawing, Granada naturally benefits the most.

After this round of matches, Granada has achieved an impressive record of 17 wins and 2 losses in 19 league matches, ranking first in the league with 51 points.

马德里竞技和巴塞罗那都是15胜2平2负的成绩，47分排在第二和第三位，落后格拉纳达的积分达到了4分。

Real Madrid's performance this season has been somewhat poor. After 19 rounds, they have 14 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses, ranking fourth in the league with 43 points.

However, these were not the most talked-about aspects. The post-match media coverage all revolved around Shan Yongzhuo's record-breaking performance. Every media analysis focused on the record, 51 goals, and Messi, naturally earning Shan Yongzhuo a great deal of praise from various media outlets.

Meanwhile, another figure, Messi, also gave an interview.

Actually, he really didn't want to be interviewed, but in this situation, the more he refused to be interviewed, the more he would leave people with the impression of being stingy.

"Yes, I knew he could definitely break my record."

Messi was very candid in the interview: "The moment he came to La Liga, I knew that my record would definitely be broken by him."

"In my opinion, there is no doubt about it."

“I know how good he is; he was born to score goals.”

"If anything can stop him from scoring, it's only himself."

"So I'm not too surprised that he broke my record."

"And in my opinion, he will leave La Liga with a single-season goal record that will never be broken, just like he did in Serie A and the Premier League."

"I think that number must be a despairing number..."

Messi's interview was also widely circulated, and many people agreed with Messi's statement.

Of course, external circumstances don't affect Shan Yongzhuo.

The Granada team is still undergoing intensive training.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't take the record-breaking achievement to heart. In his view, 50 goals in La Liga wasn't a remarkable record.

Moreover, this is the busiest time of the season, so there can be no relaxation. Diligent training is crucial for maintaining physical condition.

After the match against Valladolid, the second leg of the Copa del Rey Round of 16 against Espanyol will follow immediately.

This round of matches was played at the Camenes Stadium, the home ground of the stadium.

In the last round, Granada won 3-2 away from home, giving them a significant advantage.

In this match, Shan Yongzhuo once again led a group of substitute players, but the Spanish team still failed to achieve anything.

2:2.

Espanyol took the lead twice, but both teams were tied by Shan Yongzhuo.

Finally, the two sides shook hands and agreed to a draw at the Camenes Stadium.

However, Granada eliminated Espanyol with a 5-4 aggregate score and advanced to the next round of the Copa del Rey.

Having reached the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, it also means that they still have four matches to play in the second half of January.

This is a lot of pressure.

The key point is that the opponents in these four matches are not easy to deal with.

The opponent in the twentieth round of the league is not bad; Osasuna is currently deep in the relegation zone.

However, in the 21st round, Granada will face Real Madrid at home.

What troubles Pellegrini even more is that their opponent in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals is Real Madrid.

This means that Granada will play three consecutive matches against Real Madrid in the second half of January.

This is indeed a lot of pressure.

Although Real Madrid's form this season has been mediocre, it's still comparable to the top three teams.

Real Madrid's strength should not be underestimated; at least overall, they are not comparable to Granada.
