Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 13 Is this what genius is?
The league entered a busy schedule in September, and just two days after defeating Carlton, the twelfth round of the league began.

Kaffinburg will travel to Linz to face LA Linz.

The consecutive starting appearances have taken a toll on Shan Yongzhuo's physical condition, making it difficult for him to recover. Therefore, he was not included in the roster for this match.

Dan Yongzhu stayed in Kaffinburg and did some simple training on his own, all by himself.

Krupp went out with his girlfriend, which made Shan Yongzhu very resentful.

After training alone for a while, he got bored and decided to go to the gym.

Meanwhile, in China, which is almost halfway around the world.

At this moment, a news article appeared on the homepage of Sina Sports, featuring pictures of players training and directly stating the topic.

Netizens immediately saw the headline: "Shan Yongzhuo, the Chinese superstar who has shocked Austrian football."

Shan Yongzhuo?
Austria?
What is this ghost?

I've never heard of that before.

China has a large number of football fans, and they are generally familiar with players who have played abroad.

Previously, Dong Fangzhuo received the most attention, but unfortunately returned to the Chinese Super League after the Olympics. Then there were Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, and Zheng Zhi. Sun Jihai joined Sheffield United in the English Championship as a free agent in the summer, while Zheng Zhi played for Charlton Athletic in the Championship. Also, there was Shao Jiayi, who played for Energie Cottbus in the Bundesliga.

Shan Yongzhuo?
"I've never heard of him before. Isn't Sun Xiang playing in Austria?" Many fans became interested in this.

After reading the entire article, I felt somewhat incredulous.

This experience is simply legendary!

He didn't come from the Chinese Super League youth academy; instead, he went abroad for trials and joined Austrian Bundesliga newcomer Kaffinburg.

He scored 5 goals in 3 games.

A powerful long-range shot, a corner kick leading directly into the goal?

really?
Many people found it unbelievable.

This news article quickly garnered a large number of clicks and reposts, attracting more and more fans and generating numerous comments.

Of course, there were also many debates.

Some people think this is a good thing; a young athlete who has achieved such results abroad deserves everyone's support.

Others believe this is fake news, suggesting that a player who didn't come from a youth team and was practically an amateur went abroad for trials and then joined the Austrian Bundesliga.
Although the Austrian Bundesliga is a low-level league, it's still a European league. Sun Xiang is nothing special.

How could an amateur player be better than Sun Xiang?

Then, the media took notice of the controversy, and like gourmets smelling delicious food, they began to search for all kinds of information about Shan Yongzhuo. In addition, some of the larger media outlets sent their reporters stationed in Germany to Austria to try to interview this young player.

……

The media acted quickly and arrived in Kaffinburg immediately. Shan Yongzhuo only gave a brief interview to a few major media outlets and did not take it to heart.

He devoted more of his energy to training and preparing for the next match.

In the last match, Shan Yongzhuo was not included in the squad, and the team suffered a defeat in Linz.

Pflug was very dissatisfied with the performance of several forwards, including Goschskiy and Wilson, but there was nothing he could do but hope that Shan Yongzhuo would perform well in the next game.

The domestic journalists who came to cover the match didn't rush to leave Austria; instead, they all headed to Vienna to focus their energy on the next league game. Austria Vienna will host Kaffinburg.

This match excited domestic journalists, as it could potentially become a Chinese derby in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Chinese player Sun Xiang currently plays for Austria Vienna, while Shan Yongzhuo plays for Kafenberg. The two are very likely to stage a Chinese derby in the match, which is something that domestic media would like to see.

However, to the disappointment of the media, Sun Xiang was not included in the squad for this match, and the Chinese derby did not take place.

Fortunately, Shan Yongzhuo made it into the starting lineup, and was the team's only striker in the starting eleven, which made domestic reporters somewhat happy.

Xinlang Sports is right; it seems that Shan Yongzhuo is indeed highly valued by the team.

However, in the following period of time, they felt that they couldn't understand it anymore.

The special report by Sina Sports praised Shan Yongzhuo as a super genius, but what about now?

He couldn't receive the ball at all on the field. He only touched the ball once in ten minutes and was dispossessed. He was completely invisible. Is this what a super genius is?
And what is this guy doing?
He closed his eyes and remained motionless on the field.

go to bed?

Shan Yongzhuo ignored all of that and struggled for the first ten minutes.

Austria Vienna is a super powerhouse in the Austrian Bundesliga. Before Red Bull Salzburg received investment and rose to prominence, they were one of the two giants of Austrian football, holding an absolute dominant position.

Austria Vienna has won the Austrian top league title 24 times and the Austrian Cup 26 times. In the history of Austrian football, only Rapid Vienna can be compared with them.

In comparison, Kaffinburg fared much worse, and was significantly weaker. As a result, they were completely dominated from the start.

Since Shan Yongzhuo wouldn't get many opportunities at the front, he simply started accumulating skills.

Faced with Shan Yongzhuo's performance, the media outside the venue had a different opinion.

The Austrian media are alright; they also pay attention to Shan Yongzhuo. In their impression, Shan Yongzhuo is a player with average physical strength, speed, technique, and experience, only his shooting technique is outstanding.

It's perfectly normal for him to have a long period of inactivity, but as a player who can score whenever he gets a chance, the Austrian media didn't seem to care about Shan Yongzhuo's almost invisible state.

Domestic media, however, thought differently. They were unaware of Shan Yongzhuo's characteristics and came after only reading the report on Xinlang Sports.

In their view, since he is a super genius, he should be able to dominate in a league like the Austrian Bundesliga, and even be able to break down the opponent's defense single-handedly.

What kind of performance is this now?
He didn't even get a chance to touch the ball. He would occasionally run back and forth, but most of the time he just stood there blankly in front of the field, like a decoration in the opponent's half.

"Sure enough, Xinlang is still the same old thing. You can only believe 30% of the news they release, no, 10%." Many reporters who came over complained.

On the field.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't seem to care about his performance at all; the match had only been going on for a little over ten minutes.

The team was being dominated, and of course, there wasn't much he could do. Now that he had accumulated enough skills, his Mighty Vajra Leg was ready to be unleashed at any time.

As long as Kaffinburg can launch a counter-attack and get the ball to their feet, preferably not too far from the opponent's goal, then there will be no problem.

Moreover, although the tall defender Maddo, who was responsible for guarding him, was strong and powerful, his speed was simply not good enough, even slower than his own.

Even without using the Mighty Vajra Kick, using the Whirlwind Ground Kick would make it very easy to get past him.

Dan Yongzhuo was not in a hurry at all, quietly waiting for the opportunity to break through the goal.
