Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 46 The Football Stopped
Dan Yongzhuo was being harassed by Chiellini at the edge of the penalty area, making it very difficult for him to find an opportunity. However, Totti's pass was excellent this time, and Dan Yongzhuo managed to control the ball despite Chiellini's strong defense.

He also observed the situation in the penalty area at that moment. Vucinic was closely marked by Camoranesi and Grygera, Taddei was also accompanied by De Ceglie, and Cannavaro was also moving in that direction, preparing to double-team him.

Totti and De Rossi also moved forward, with Melo following Totti, while De Rossi had already shaken off Diego.

In that instant, Shan Yongzhuo was actually facing only one person: Chiellini.

Everyone around assumed that Shan Yongzhuo would hand the task over to the forward-moving De Rossi, and Chiellini thought so too; he didn't believe Shan Yongzhuo had the ability to break through his own limitations.

However, Shan Yongzhuo immediately made a judgment and made a very bold move.

Shan Yongzhu tapped the ball with his heel.

Chiellini never expected Shan Yongzhuo to do this, and by the time he reacted, the ball had already passed between his legs.

"Pass the ball?"

But there's no one there!

Chiellini was puzzled for a moment, and at the same time looked back, only to find that there was nothing behind his hairstyle.

He didn't understand.

Just as Chiellini was wondering what was going on, he suddenly felt a lightness in front of him. Shan Yongzhuo had already turned around and rushed over from the other side.

"What is this guy doing?"

Chiellini was a little confused.

The ball is kicked first, and to complete a nutmeg, a certain amount of force is required. However, if you use this method, by the time Shan Yongzhuo gets around it, it will be impossible for him to catch up with the ball.

In such a confined space, teammates will definitely be able to destroy it.

In fact, his teammates did just that. Cannavaro noticed Shan Yongzhuo's movement and immediately moved over to try and clear the ball. However, the next moment, he was even more surprised than Chiellini.

Because he discovered that the football had stopped moving, Shan Yongzhuo easily caught up with it.

"This is!"

Cannavaro could hardly believe it; how did the other party manage to do that?
After passing Chiellini, the ball stopped in a suitable position, seemingly waiting for Shan Yongzhuo to catch up.

"Did he dig a hole there? How is that possible?"

Cannavaro was utterly shocked, but he still rushed forward with all his might. Shan Yongzhuo had just caught up with the ball, and he was able to break it.

Shan Yongzhuo naturally saw Cannavaro rushing over and thought to himself, "If I adjust my strategy now, it might be too late. At this point, I'll have to use my Mighty Vajra Leg."

"Damn it, I thought one skill would be enough to solve it..."

Dan Yongzhuo took a shot without adjusting his position while running.

Boom!
The shot didn't use much power, but the distance was too close, and it was in a theoretically impossible corner. Even though Buffon made a desperate save, he still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal.

"Goal! Goal!"

"Our young Chinese player, Dan, broke the deadlock and scored the first goal against Juventus!"

"Roma has taken the lead."

"That was a beautiful goal. He first dribbled past Chiellini with a backheel, and then kicked the ball away before Cannavaro could reach it."

"Buffon couldn't stop the goal, 1-0, that was a fantastic goal!"

The stadium announcer was shouting excitedly, and the fans were celebrating the goal wildly, making the entire Olympic Stadium erupt in cheers.

Just then, the television broadcast was replaying the entire goal, showing Shan Yongzhuo getting past Chiellini's defense.

"Let's see, the ball was kicked out, initially very fast, but after passing Chiellini, it suddenly stopped, as if... as if it was waiting for Shan Yongzhuo to shoot..."

"Chiellini never expected to be beaten like that. Cannavaro rushed over immediately to clear the ball, but he misjudged the situation and didn't expect the ball to stop..."

"That dribbling move was incredible." "Is it luck? Or skill?"

"If we're talking about skill, this young Chinese athlete's control over power is terrifying!"

What followed was a chorus of praise. After the goal, media and fans alike marveled at the incredible skill and power of the player. The difficulty of controlling power so precisely on the field is unimaginable, let alone with a backheel.

Of course, some people have suggested that there was a hole in that spot on the field, which caused the football to get stuck.

However, this thoughtless claim was immediately refuted; everyone knows that's impossible.

The Juventus players also looked incredulous.

"How did he do that?"

"The football actually stopped on its own, just like a car suddenly braking. That's terrifying."

"I feel like I'm dreaming."

For Juventus players, conceding the goal seemed less important; their attention was entirely focused on that dribble.

Chiellini, in particular, went to that spot and knocked on the lawn to check, but there was no hole.

This shows that the opponent used their strength to pull off the dribble.

This is somewhat unbelievable.

The Juventus players looked bewildered, while the Roma players were all smiles.

However, after the celebration, they asked the most crucial question, "How did you manage to stop the ball?"

"You're terrifying!"

"I'm starting to doubt my eyes. I'm still waiting for you to pass the ball to me."

Shan Yongzhuo glanced at De Rossi, who looked like a little fanboy, and said with a wry smile, "Because I used my ability."

"What are your abilities?"

De Rossi wanted to ask more questions, but Shan Yongzhuo didn't say anything more.

In fact, Shan Yongzhuo felt very distressed.

It seems that my strength is still not enough. The last game gave me some confidence, but when facing strong teams and top-notch defenses, it is really difficult for me to make any difference. I even need to use two skills to score a goal.

In Shan Yongzhuo's view, this was a failure.

However, his words didn't bother De Rossi, but the other two had different opinions.

Totti and Mexes exchanged a glance, both seeing the deep surprise in each other's eyes.

"But he used his abilities."

"What ability?"

"Without a doubt, that's Chinese magic!"

"This is truly terrifying magic!"

Totti's gaze towards Shan Yongzhuo burned even brighter. "I've decided! I'm going to invite Shan to my home, or have Ira introduce him to a beautiful girlfriend. We'll become best friends, and then he'll teach me magic!"

"Then, I can play for many more years and lead Roma to the top of Europe!"

Mexes, however, was thinking about a different scenario: "Maybe after the match, I can invite him to the club for some fun. Yes, that's decided. If I get him drunk, maybe he'll reveal the secrets of magic? After all, he's only 19, still very young, he definitely won't notice."

"Then, I, Blanco's successor, will become the world's most prolific center-back, surpassing even many strikers!"
