Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 659 The Whole World Is Talking About You

"...In the just-concluded quarter-final of the World Cup, the biggest upset of the tournament occurred: the tournament favorites, the host nation Brazil, were eliminated by China with a score of 6-1 after 90 minutes of intense competition..."

"During the match, Brazilian defender David Luiz scored an own goal to break the deadlock. Subsequently, Chinese striker Shan Yongzhuo scored four goals in the first half and another in the second half. In the final moments of the match, Brazil scored a goal through a header from David Luiz, but it was too late. In the end, the Chinese team defeated Brazil with a crushing score and made history by entering the World Cup semi-finals."

"After the match, extremely disappointed Brazilian fans caused a riot at the stadium. Five cars were overturned, a team bus was set on fire, and a large number of fans gathered to prevent the Brazilian and Chinese team buses from leaving... Brazilian police deployed a large number of officers and confronted the emotionally charged Brazilian fans... The players from both teams eventually left the stadium under police protection. The Brazilian team bus was only able to leave two hours after the Chinese team left... In addition to Casablanca, riots of varying degrees also occurred in other Brazilian cities... Consulates of various countries issued warnings reminding their fans to pay attention to their safety..."

"...No one could have imagined that the host nation, Brazil, would be eliminated with such a humiliating score. The entire nation was unprepared for this result, which may be a major reason for the widespread unrest across Brazil. It wasn't just Brazilian fans who were disappointed, but also the major Brazilian media outlets, who criticized every member of the national team with the harshest language... The Brazilian media unanimously believe that head coach Scolari is largely to blame for this crushing defeat. They believe that Scolari's disregard for Shan Yongzhuo led to the defeat, and they think Scolari should resign."

"At the post-match press conference, Scolari did not resign; instead, he argued with reporters, and the press conference ended unhappily..."

"In the post-match press conference, Scolari criticized the referee for favoring the Chinese team, saying that the refereeing team turned a blind eye to the Chinese team's rough actions... Scolari also had an argument with the Chinese team's head coach, Gao Hongbo. Scolari believes that the Chinese team's extreme defensive tactics are ugly football and a serious regression in football."

"In stark contrast to the dejected Brazilian fans were the ecstatic Chinese fans, with some expressing their joy after the match… However, for many Chinese fans, this is a happy dilemma, as many never expected the Chinese team to reach the semi-finals. Their hotel leases have expired, and they now have to find new accommodations. Despite this, the Chinese fans remain highly enthusiastic, with some excited fans saying they would continue to support the Chinese team even if it meant sleeping on the streets. We would also like to remind Chinese fans in Brazil to be mindful of their personal safety and belongings…"

"Last night, a fan attack occurred in Rio de Janeiro... Several fans, angry because Brazil lost the game, attacked a group of Japanese tourists who happened to be there, causing minor injuries to three Japanese fans. It is said that the drunk Brazilian fans mistook them for Chinese fans..."

"There's a lot to say about this match, but the most noteworthy player is Shan Yongzhuo. He scored five goals, including David Luiz's own goal, essentially single-handedly defeating Brazil... Shan Yongzhuo's dominant performance once again demonstrates his status as a top star and shows all teams the heavy price they will pay for ignoring him..."

"In this match, Shan Yongzhuo broke Ronaldo's World Cup goal record of 15 goals, and raised the record to 17 goals..."

"After the match, Shan Yongzhuo told the media that he was happy to break the record, but even happier that the Chinese team defeated their opponent and made it to the semifinals. Shan Yongzhuo also expressed his expectations for the semifinals, hoping to continue his excellent performance and expressing his desire to advance to the finals."

"Ronaldo gave an interview after the match, expressing his admiration for Shan Yongzhuo: He is the world's number one star, a football genius rarely seen in history! He was born for football, and I am optimistic that he will lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup!"

"...After the match, highlights of Shan Yongzhuo's goals appeared on the front page of major news media. Shan Yongzhuo's five goals in the resounding victory over Brazil became a topic of great interest to media and fans worldwide. Some foreign media exclaimed that Shan Yongzhuo was a cosmic-level star, and that it was unfair to other teams to put him in the World Cup alongside a group of earth-level stars... Commentators repeatedly exclaimed 'unbelievable!' Some Brazilian media believed that Brazil's defeat at the hands of such a Shan Yongzhuo was entirely justified..."

"Reports indicate that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez stated that Real Madrid will pursue Shan Yongzhuo at all costs, even if it means buying Granada FC..."

"German coach Joachim Löw stated that in the semi-finals, Germany will face China, which will be a huge challenge for Germany's defense. Germany will spare no effort to defend against Shan Yongzhuo..."

……

"Shan, the whole world is talking about you, you're fucking amazing!" That evening, Shan Yongzhuo was browsing the news when he received a call from Nainggolan, who congratulated him on the phone.

"Alright, enough about me, Lacha. You guys need to be careful in the semi-finals. Argentina isn't an easy opponent."

"Of course I know, but what can I do? I'm just an ordinary Earth player, and the gap between me and you, a player from the universe, is too big."

After thinking it over, Shan Yongzhuo finally decided to give Nainggolan a heads-up: "Here's a piece of advice for you: don't pay too much attention to Messi, and be careful of Di Maria and Higuain."

"In my opinion, Messi is just a decoy, a target to draw attention. Argentina's tactics this season are also geared towards counter-attacking. Their real trump cards are Di Maria's breakthroughs and Higuain's finishing..."

Shan Yongzhuo spoke eloquently about Nainggolan, sharing his impressions of Argentina based on his memories and observations during this World Cup.

In fact, Messi was not the best performing player for Argentina in this squad.

As far as I remember, Argentina made it to the final in this tournament.

Messi remains the mainstay of Argentina's defense, but the truly crucial players are three others: Mascherano in defense, and Di Maria and Higuain in attack.

Belgium ultimately failed, conceding the winning goal to Higuain.

"Alright, I'm not the head coach, so I can't influence the tactical arrangements."

Nainggolan said helplessly, "We're unlikely to win the championship anyway, so winning or losing doesn't matter to me. I actually hope these arrogant guys on the team lose..."

"..."

After Nainggolan said that, Shan Yongzhuo had nothing more to say.
