Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 23 Mysterious Magic of the East

After the physical tests were completed, the team officially began training.

Training will still focus on recovery exercises, but it will be a bit difficult for players who have had a carefree holiday.

For example, Fiwanin went to Thailand on vacation and had a beautiful wife there, only to find out in the end that his wife had something that Fiwanin had but other women didn't.
His teammates expressed their sympathy, but before he could finish recounting his nightmarish experience, he encountered his own training nightmare.

Players like Fiwanin have a lot of training to do, especially endurance training, which makes it very tough for them.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Shan Yongzhuo. His training is relatively easy. Pflug even reminded him not to overexert himself and to get in good shape for the start of the league.

In their first match of the second half of the season, Kaffinburg will host Carlton at home.

Carlton currently has 33 points, which isn't too bad. In their first game of the new year, playing at home, Pflugge will naturally be hoping for a winning start.

In Pflug's squad, Shan Yongzhuo was prominently featured in the starting lineup.

Another person who was also excited was Krupp. Perhaps Pflug noticed that this guy had persisted in training during the holidays and decided to give him a chance, putting him on the roster.

"I think you can probably only sit on the sidelines for 90 minutes."

Dan Yongzhuo retorted.

Krupp, however, didn't seem to care. The breakup seemed to have hit him pretty hard, and he decided to perform better in the future and strive to become a star player as soon as possible.

Making the roster is a great start.

……

2 month 22 day.

Franz Ficert Stadium.

This is Kaffinburg's home ground, and the stands are already very lively.

The first match of the new year attracted a lot of fans, and the stadium, which can hold 12,000 people, was packed to capacity.

Shan Yongzhuo only did a simple warm-up with Krupp, but he was still greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the home fans.

He is currently very popular in Kaflenberg, especially among female fans.

With his constant goal-scoring, handsome appearance, and of course, the influence of his fatal charm, he basically became the dream lover of women in the Kaffinburg area.

"You're quite popular."

Krupp was extremely envious and jealous of this. He naturally knew how attractive Shan Yongzhuo was to girls. He believed that if Shan Yongzhuo showed even the slightest interest, his ex-girlfriend Anna would immediately dump that hockey guy and throw herself into Shan Yongzhuo's arms without hesitation.

Not to mention there's that pretty little girl, Eunice.

“There’s nothing we can do about it, it’s something we can only envy.” Shan Yongzhuo shrugged helplessly. “Looks are something you’re born with, Krupp. You can only attract girls with your inner qualities, but unfortunately, you don’t seem to have those.”

"..."

Krupf felt that talking to this guy was a kind of torture. If he couldn't beat him, he would like to push this guy to the ground and beat him severely.

However, he was able to find solace in it.

"So what if you're popular? You're short!"

The competition officially began soon after.

In the first half of the season, Kafenberg and Kalte played each other twice, with Kafenberg achieving one draw and one win, giving them a certain psychological advantage.

After the start of the game, they launched an attack on Calder. However, Shan Yongzhuo's shot from the corner hit the crossbar, which gave the Calder players a scare.

"This guy is still as amazing as ever!"

"Manuel, keep a close eye on this guy."

"We can't give him a chance to kick!"

In the following games, Shan Yongzhuo was indeed heavily marked, but he improved very quickly. He now knows how to integrate into the team's tactical system, how to run to create more openings, and how to run to receive passes from his teammates more easily.

However, the reality is somewhat different.

The rest of the team seemed a bit weak in this game, and Kaffinburg's midfield was suppressed by Carlton, making it difficult for Shan Yongzhuo to get opportunities.

After more than ten minutes, Shan Yongzhuo only got three touches and didn't perform well. "Looks like I'll have to rely on my skills."

Then, Shan Yongzhuo began to close his eyes and accumulate skills. He was not frustrated. The opposing defender, Olija, did a good job of marking him, but it was still a bit difficult to stop him from scoring.

When Olivia saw that Shan Yongzhuo had closed his eyes, she immediately became more alert.

Austrian media once reported that Shan Yongzhuo would close his eyes for one minute during each match, and when he opened his eyes again, he would often score a goal in the subsequent performance.

In an interview, Shan Yongzhuo said it was a personal habit.

However, some imaginative Austrian media outlets described this behavior as a kind of mysterious magic from the East, calling Shan Yongzhuo a successor of an Eastern mysterious magic sect.

They believed that Shan Yongzhuo closed his eyes simply to accumulate a mysterious energy. According to Easterners, that thing might be called true qi or magic power. In short, it was a very powerful energy that would greatly help Shan Yongzhuo, namely, scoring goals.

Most people scoff at this claim, but some still believe it.

Oregina was one of them.

Now that Shan Yongzhuo has closed his eyes, it means that danger is coming soon.

Oregon became more vigilant and kept a closer watch.

However, Shan Yongzhuo didn't care. He continued to participate in the attack, running slowly while waiting for an opportunity to come.

Soon, the opportunity will come.

In the 31st minute, Shan Yongzhuo received a pass at the edge of the penalty area and unleashed a powerful volley. Ole Gunnar tried everything to stop Shan Yongzhuo's shot, but he didn't control the ball at all.

Goalkeeper Schuras had no chance; the ball flew into the goal.

"The first goal of the new year still comes from our Chinese prodigy, Shan! He's absolutely amazing!" the stadium commentator exclaimed excitedly.

The scene was filled with deafening cheers.

"one!"

"one!"

The fans were very enthusiastic, especially the female fans, whose voices were so high-pitched that they could be heard throughout the stadium.

However, one goal did not affect Carlton.

In the second half, Carlton returned to the game and continued to dominate Kaffinburg.

Carlton's strength lies mainly in the midfield. In this match, Carpfamp's key midfielder, Fiwaning, was clearly still recovering from the cultural atmosphere of Thailand, making frequent mistakes in midfield and putting Carpfamp on the back foot.

Shan Yongzhuo's performance was also mediocre. He didn't receive the ball for a long time. After he scored a goal, Ole Gunnar paid more attention to him and stayed by his side almost every step of the way.

"With this kind of treatment, I should be considered a superstar in the Austrian league, right?"

Dan Yongzhuo was secretly pleased with himself, but he knew very well that his true level was far from that of a superstar, even a superstar in the Austrian league.

When Carlton attacked, Shan Yongzhuo simply stopped running and started chatting with Oligna.

"I think you're quite good. You might have the opportunity to play football in China in the future. Of course, I mean when you're older. You're still very young now," Shan Yongzhuo suggested earnestly.

"China? Does China have a league too?" Ole Gunnar asked, somewhat puzzled.

Shan Yongzhuo said somewhat angrily, "Of course, the Chinese Super League is of a very high level. My skills are simply not good enough to play in China, so I can only come abroad."

“Is…is that so?” Oliver was somewhat surprised.

The opponent is currently the top scorer in the Austrian Bundesliga, how come he can't even get playing time in China?
Is the level of the Chinese league really that high?

"I really like China. Maybe, I mean maybe, could you introduce me to a football club in China? I'd love to improve myself..."

Ole Genna was intrigued. "Of course, I know we don't know each other yet. My name is Manuel, Manuel Ole Genna, I..."

However, before Olija could finish speaking, he felt Shan Yongzhuo pass right by him, and he could hear his teammates complaining.

"Manuel, what are you doing?"
