Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 605 The Invincible March

"Shan, you're a madman!"

I'm going to cry!

"You bastard, you're a genius!"

"Give me your shoes quickly, I'll polish them for you!"

His teammates rushed over and hugged Shan Yongzhuo tightly, almost to the point of tears. Their arms were so tight that it hurt, but Shan Yongzhuo didn't even flinch.

Compared to the excitement, this pain is nothing.

This long-range free-kick lob completely silenced the new San Mamés stadium.

Everything happened so suddenly. One second everything seemed calm, but the next it was like a tsunami that destroyed everything in front of us. The little car, Athletic Bilbao, couldn't hold on for even a second in the tsunami and was completely destroyed.

Many people still can't believe what they're seeing. How did the football get into the goal?
What just happened?
Even many Granada fans watching on TV couldn't believe what they were seeing; the commentator's explosively excited voice couldn't bring them to their senses.

1:3.

Granada pulled ahead.

The score was incredibly clear and glaringly obvious.

Shan Yongzhuo was like a god descending to earth, single-handedly controlling the fate of the game, and with a genius goal, he pushed Athletic Bilbao into the abyss.

As Shan Yongzhuo and the Granada players celebrated their goals with unbridled abandon, the atmosphere at the new San Mamés Stadium turned extremely somber, and sighs of despair gradually filled the air.

In the remainder of the match, Athletic Bilbao struggled to recover, while Granada played better and better. For the last few tens of minutes of the second half, Granada relentlessly pressured Athletic Bilbao, launching wave after wave of attacks.

Fortunately, Granada did not score again.

1:3.

The score remained unchanged until the final whistle.

Granada defeated Athletic Bilbao away from home with a hat-trick from Shan Yongzhuo, achieving a season sweep of the Basque Lions.

Shan Yongzhuo dominated the game; no one performed better than him.

This was expected by the media, and no one found it strange.

However, Shan Yongzhuo's brilliant free-kick lob near midfield still sparked widespread discussion and was voted the best goal of the round.

However, the schedule entered a busy period, and just five days later, Granada hosted Villarreal at home.

Villarreal have performed well this season and are currently in sixth place in the league.

But they still did nothing in this game.

Among the many La Liga teams, Villarreal has faced Shan Yongzhuo the most times, besides Real Madrid and Barcelona. They have a very real fear of Shan Yongzhuo.

This sense of fear manifested in the match when their singles player, Yongzhuo, was helpless, and their defense even fell below its usual level.

2:0.

Shan Yongzhuo scored twice, helping his team defeat Villarreal at home and achieve a double victory over the Yellow Submarine once again.

After 27 rounds of matches, the situation on the standings remains largely unchanged.

Granada remains firmly in first place in the league, with 23 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 27 rounds, earning 71 points.

The media are amazed by Shan Yongzhuo's ability to turn adversity into opportunity, leading Granada, a second-tier La Liga team, to the top of the league with two-thirds of the season completed.

More importantly, in the eyes of the media, Granada's league title is highly prestigious. They defeated Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​achieved a win and a draw against Real Madrid, and swept aside fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao and sixth-placed Villarreal.

Such a performance is brilliant and very convincing.

Barcelona has now moved into second place in the league, with a record of 21 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in 27 matches, earning 66 points and demonstrating very consistent performance.

Neymar's integration has significantly improved their strength, but in this season's top matches, they have only managed to defeat Real Madrid. They failed to gain any advantage against Atletico Madrid and Granada.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, were held to a draw in their last home game against Real Madrid, leaving them in third place in the league.

After 27 rounds, Atletico Madrid finished with a record of 20 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, totaling 64 points, 2 points behind Barcelona, ​​placing them third.

Many media outlets have analyzed that, based on the current situation, Granada has a very high chance of winning the championship.

First of all, they have no other competition pressures, no European competitions to play, and they were eliminated early from the Copa del Rey by Real Madrid, which allows them to focus entirely on the league.

Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, and Barcelona all face pressure in the Champions League.

On the other hand, Shan Yongzhuo's strong performance gave the media great confidence.

It's hard to imagine any player having a La Liga debut season that can compare to Shan Yongzhuo's performance.

On the top scorers list, Shan Yongzhuo leads with 68 league goals and continues to break new league records, which is incredibly terrifying.

Diego Costa, who is second in the top scorers list, has only scored 25 goals, a difference of 43 goals from Shan Yongzhuo.

With the team performing well, training naturally becomes easier.

After defeating Villarreal, the team has an eight-day break before their next match in mid-March, against Getafe.

However, one of Granada's two losses this season was against Getafe, and that was at home.

Therefore, Pellegrini gave the order to win this match.

The players naturally didn't want to lose again. It would be quite embarrassing to be defeated twice by a relegation-threatened team.

Granada now has all its wounded players back, making it a strong and well-equipped team.

Everyone was eager to fight.

Therefore, Getafe suffered in the away game, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

0 is better than 5!

Granada avenged their defeat against Getafe with a resounding away victory.

Shan Yongzhuo scored a hat-trick, bringing his season goal tally to 71, while Harry Kane and Oques each scored a goal.

A week later, in the 29th round of the league, Granada returned to their home ground, where Shan Yongzhuo scored twice to help the team defeat Elche 3-1.

Granada maintained their four-game winning streak in March, putting on an incredibly impressive performance.

Having won against Elche, Granada has only one match left in March: an away game against Atletico Madrid.

This is a head-to-head battle between the top four teams.

Atletico Madrid plays a tough style of football, and their home ground, the Calderón Stadium, is notoriously a formidable venue.

This match will put a lot of pressure on Granada.
