Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 50 Quickly Take Over the Top Scorer List
The home game against Fiorentina is highly anticipated. Fiorentina is a strong team in Serie A, and under the leadership of coach Prandelli, they have reached the Champions League group stage for two consecutive seasons. Their strength is even greater than that of Roma.

In this match, Shan Yongzhuo continued to start and faced Fiorentina defender Gamberini.

Gamberini's tough style is no less than Chiellini's, but his strength is somewhat inferior to Chiellini and Cannavaro, and even much weaker than Mexes.

Moreover, Shan Yongzhuo has made significant progress under the tireless guidance of assistant coach Domenicini. The continuous one-on-one coaching has taught Shan Yongzhuo how to position himself to find openings most effectively.

When Shan Yongzhuo made targeted runs, Gamberini found it harder to defend against him. Firstly, he was the core of Fiorentina's defense, and although he had the task of marking Shan Yongzhuo, he couldn't do so all the time.

In addition, Gamberini's reaction was a bit slow, which allowed Shan Yongzhuo to find an opening during his continuous running.

In the 27th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo received a pass on the right side of the penalty area. Using a powerful ground kick, he instantly shook off Fiorentina's tall defender Dainelli, ran forward a few meters, and then shot without hesitation.

Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey failed to react, and by the time he raised his hand to try and save the ball, it had already flown into the goal.

Olympic Stadium.

Roma fans erupted in wild cheers, not only for Shan Yongzhuo's goal but also for the team's joy at having such a player.

"He's amazing!"

"I like this Chinese kid!"

"To be honest, I wasn't optimistic about him when he first came, but now I dare say that the club's decision was absolutely right."

"He is truly outstanding."

"If I remember correctly, he's scored in four consecutive matches, four matches, six goals?"

"The media says he's Montella's successor? I think he's much better than Montella!"

The male fans' opinions are quite normal, but the opinions of the vast majority of Roma's female fans are quite different.

"My God, he's so handsome!"

"He's so charming."

"Shan, I love you!"

"..."

Italian media outlets were at a loss for words; they remained skeptical of Shan Yongzhuo, given his lack of performance before scoring the goal.

But he scored again.

This left the reporters somewhat puzzled.

"Perhaps he's the kind of killer who can be hidden for a long time, but once he catches someone, he can score a goal?"

Shan Yongzhuo's goal made Fiorentina more vigilant, with Prandelli shouting from the sidelines: "Don't let him get the ball near the penalty area!"

Gamberini and Dainelli both inwardly scoffed.

Should we prevent him from getting the ball here?
Can you do it?

come on!
However, since the game is still ongoing and the team is behind, they have no choice but to be more serious in their defense.

When Shan Yongzhuo reached his position, he realized that scoring a goal would be much more difficult.

However, he still found an opportunity.

In the 42nd minute, near the end of the first half, De Rossi took a long-range shot from outside the box, which was saved by Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey. Dainelli cleared the ball with a long kick, but made a mistake, and the ball ended up in front of Shan Yongzhuo.

Before Gamberini could rush over, Shan Yongzhuo unleashed a powerful kick, sending the ball directly into the goal.

2-0, that was the score at halftime.

This goal filled the stadium once again with cheers from the Roma fans.

The commentator couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Shan Yongzhuo again! Dainelli made a mistake, assisting Shan Yongzhuo to score the second goal, his seventh in four games!" "Four games, seven goals!"

"This striker, who scored 49 league goals in the Austrian Bundesliga, does not seem to have any trouble adapting to Serie A."

"He quickly dominated the top scorers list!"

"..."

In the second half, Fiorentina intensified their attack, and Gilardino scored a goal in the 58th minute with a shot from a tight angle inside the penalty area.

However, in the 75th minute, Gamberini pulled down Shan Yongzhuo just outside the penalty area, and Totti's free kick went straight into the goal, which was also the last goal of the match.

In the end, Roma defeated Fiorentina 3-1 at home. Shan Yongzhuo, who scored twice, naturally became the best player of the match. After celebrating the victory with his teammates, he went to the sidelines to be interviewed by reporters.

"Their defenders are very strong, and I had a tough time."

"Furthermore, my teammates and I still lack chemistry, and I often feel lost when facing tough defense..."

When Shan Yongzhuo mentioned Yidatong, the surrounding reporters felt as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed a fly.

Are you still a little confused?
You've scored 7 goals in 4 games!

The reporters decided not to listen to Shan Yongzhuo, nor would they praise him.

Can we just report it normally?

Of course, the local media in Rome had a different perspective; like the Chinese media, they interpreted Shan Yongzhuo's statement as modesty.

In particular, Corriere dello Sport, one of the three major media outlets in Italy, is not stingy with its praise for the club's star striker.

"Seven goals in four games! Austrian Bundesliga top scorer quickly dominates Serie A!"

"Roma welcomes an upgraded version of Montella!"

"Four consecutive wins, the young Chinese player makes Roma unstoppable!"

"..."

Not only Corriere dello Sport, but also local Roma-friendly media outlets were giving extensive coverage and praise to the team and Shan Yongzhuo's performance.

They're so happy! Roma played so well!
Roma haven't performed this well in many years since their last league title win.

With a four-game winning streak and 12 points, Roma firmly holds the top spot in the league standings.

Moreover, this four-game winning streak is quite impressive, as Juventus and Fiorentina are formidable opponents, and Genoa is no pushover either.

Second place goes to Sampdoria, another dark horse this season, who also won four consecutive games and earned 12 points. They are ranked second due to goal difference.

However, Sampdoria's four-game winning streak is not as impressive as Roma's.

Inter Milan came in third, with a score of ten.

Juventus have nine points and are in fourth place.

Among the traditional powerhouses, AC Milan had the worst start, managing only 7 points and suffering a humiliating 4-0 defeat at home to Inter Milan.

What's even more terrifying is the top scorers list.

With 7 goals in 4 games, Shan Yongzhuo firmly holds the top spot on the top scorer list.

Inter Milan's Diego Milito and Udinese's Di Natale, who are ranked second, have both only scored 3 goals.

With only four rounds played in the league, the gap between the first and second place teams is already four goals, which is quite alarming.

In particular, the top scorer is a young player who is only 19 years old.
