Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 645 You're My Own Brother

At such close range, Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera had no chance against Shan Yongzhuo's shot.

The ball went in!
"Ahhh, it's in!"

"Shan Yongzhuo, Shan Yongzhuo! In the 20th minute of the match, China launched a counter-attack, a quick counter-attack! Shan Yongzhuo received the ball just outside the penalty area and unleashed a shot from just below the penalty line!"

"He scored directly from the area where Shan Yongzhuo is most familiar with!"

"That shot was so accurate, and so fast!"

"In the 20th minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo broke through Uruguay's goal again, making the score 2-0, with China leading by two goals!"

"Wow..."

The background to the commentator's excited shouts was the sound of the stadium roof shaking.

Every Chinese fan was shouting excitedly and celebrating wildly. They never expected that the Chinese team would take a two-goal lead in just 20 minutes of the game, gaining such a huge advantage in such a short time.

It’s only 20 minutes!
Uruguay had been in possession of the ball for a while and completely dominated the game, so everyone thought they should be able to score.

But never expected.

The Chinese team scored two goals in 20 minutes.

"We're two goals ahead of Uruguay!"

"Shan Yongzhuo is really amazing!"

"Do we think we can make it to the quarterfinals?"

"Stop pacing! It's only been 20 minutes!"

At the stadium, in front of their televisions, and online, all Chinese fans were excited and felt incredibly proud.

Inside the venue.

The Chinese players were also celebrating excitedly, their excitement no less than that of the fans.

Two goals ahead of Uruguay?
To advance to the quarterfinals?

Before the match, despite their high spirits, they were not so confident in their ability to defeat Uruguay and advance to the quarterfinals.

This outcome was completely unexpected by them, and it made them extremely excited.

"Brother Dan, brother, you're my own brother!"

"You're amazing!"

"See? I told you, with Brother Shan around, what is Uruguay?"

"Does this mean we're really going to make it to the quarterfinals?"

Surrounded by his teammates, Shan Yongzhuo was the only one who remained calm. Under the influence of the sacrifice, he could almost always use his powerful leg kick. As long as he could pass the ball forward and find an easy spot to shoot, it would be easy to score.

Uruguay wasn't really that strong, preventing the Chinese team from even launching counter-attacks.

Therefore, the current score is not too surprising to Shan Yongzhuo.

Because the sacrifice is just too overpowered.

However, the competition has only just begun.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't think they had defeated Uruguay just like that. After all, Uruguay's overall strength was still stronger than China's. If the team relaxed, they could easily concede a goal or equalize.

Although the two goals have a significant advantage, there is still plenty of time left.

We must continue to work hard.

After the game restarted, Shan Yongzhuo continued to stand at the front, patiently waiting for his chance.

Uruguay, having conceded two goals in a row, suffered a huge blow and realized they had to do something, or they might lose the game.

However, the two goals they conceded still put considerable pressure on them.

After all, this is a knockout stage match, and even the most mentally resilient players will find it difficult to remain unaffected.

Uruguay's coordination also began to falter, giving China numerous opportunities to counterattack.

Of course, Shan Yongzhuo simply stood in front without moving, patiently waiting for his chance. The Chinese players simply pretended that Shan Yongzhuo didn't exist; unless Shan Yongzhuo raised his hand to ask for the ball, they wouldn't pass it to him—this was agreed upon before the match.

Uruguay, on the other hand, was extremely frustrated.

Cavani was the most frustrated of all.

Before the match, Shan Yongzhuo made comments that made him seem disrespected. However, during the match, Shan Yongzhuo has already scored two goals, while he has yet to score a single one.

This is tantamount to a public execution.

Even with Cavani's good mentality, he was starting to feel the strain at this point.

But scoring a goal isn't so easy.

China's defense was very solid. Although they didn't use an 8-1-1 formation, their four midfielders would often drop back to defend, which caused Uruguay a lot of trouble.

However, the goal came quickly.

Although Gao Hongbo believes that China's defense is solid, that's about the extent of their strength. Without using a large number of players, they won't be as formidable.

The 31th minute of the game.

Uruguay launched a strong attack, with Rodriguez crossing from the wing. Cavali headed the ball past Li Weifeng and Feng Xiaoting, and although Zeng Cheng saved it, Wu Xi's clearance was not far enough.

Fran received the ball on the perimeter and unleashed a brilliant long-range shot that found the top corner.

The score was changed to 2-1.

Uruguay pulled one back.

In the 33rd minute, Arevalo played a through ball, and Cavani dribbled past Feng Xiaoting, turned and fired a shot that hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal.

2 is better than 2!

Uruguay's consecutive goals left the Chinese fans in the stands speechless.

Uruguayan fans erupted in jubilant cheers.

After scoring, Cavani roared and slid on his knees, releasing the pressure in his heart with a deafening roar.

The Chinese players, on the other hand, were somewhat disgruntled.

The Chinese team was in the lead, but just over ten minutes later, Uruguay scored two goals in a row, putting the two teams back on equal footing. This feeling is not good.

The way the team that is tied and the team that tied the score react to the score is completely different. Moreover, everyone knows that there is a gap in the overall strength of the two sides.

The Chinese team has now been tied.

Is there still a chance to win?
Can they really defeat Uruguay like Shan Yongzhuo did and advance to the quarterfinals?

Many people are beginning to be skeptical of this.

The only difference is Shan Yongzhuo.

His thinking was that he had to win. He had already used sacrifices, and if he still lost, it would really be a loss.

On the field.

China launched an attack after the kickoff, but Uruguay quickly intercepted the ball and launched a counter-attack.

Having regained their composure, Uruguay stopped their hasty attacks and instead controlled the pace of the game.

The Chinese team was forced to solidify their defense. Although they had opportunities to launch counterattacks, Shan Yongzhuo never raised his hand to ask for the ball, which frustrated the Chinese players.

Based on their own abilities, it would be difficult for them to launch any threatening attacks, let alone threaten the goal.

Fortunately, this time, Shan Yongzhuo raised his hand.

In the 39th minute of the match, the first half was almost over.

This time, Hao Junmin got the ball again. He got rid of Arevalo and saw Shan Yongzhuo raise his hand to ask for the ball, so he prepared to pass it to him.

However, Arevalo, unwilling to give up, made a very irrational move, sliding in from behind to tackle Hao Junmin.
