Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 68 Muñillo's Helplessness

Most Roma fans watching on TV were also excited, excited about Shan Yongzhuo's goal and Roma's lead.

In fact, while a large portion of Roma fans dislike Mourinho, they have to admit that it will be very difficult for Roma to defeat Inter Milan.

Because Inter Milan has been so dominant in recent years, Roma has never gained a significant advantage in their matches against them.

Now, Rome is in the lead.

Roma fans are starting to get excited again.

"What are you afraid of? We have orders!"

"We can definitely win; this year is different for us."

"No matter how strong Inter Milan is, they can't defend against a one-on-one situation."

"..."

On the sidelines, Mourinho frowned. He realized that he had underestimated Shan Yongzhuo's shooting ability. That goal could hardly be called a chance; the space for shooting was very, very small, almost nonexistent.

However, Shan Yongzhuo still managed to shoot. The ball bypassed Lucio, arcing around the goal, and found the only space to shoot.

"Is his shooting really that powerful?"

"How are we supposed to defend against this? Do we really have to send someone to closely mark them?"

Mourinho was in a bit of a predicament. He was very skilled in defense, but he still found it difficult to deal with a player with this level of shooting technique.

Meanwhile, Motta and Lucio were also amazed by Shan Yongzhuo's footwork; with such a level of shooting, it's no wonder the opponent could score so many goals.

How to prevent this?
Unless you mark him closely, don't give him a chance to shoot.

However, Mourinho did not give such instructions, and they could only follow the original defensive strategy.

At Inter Milan, Mourinho is the absolute authority, and no one dares to challenge his decisions.

New signings Motta and Lucio were naturally even less inclined to participate.

After the match restarted, while the outside world was still discussing the goal, both teams were already fully engaged in the game.

Inter Milan's overall strength is still greater than Roma's, and their running is more active and their tackling is more aggressive, putting Roma under pressure once again.

However, Inter Milan's attack had not yet yielded any results and they suffered another setback.

Ten minutes later, Roma launched an attack, and Shan Yongzhuo got the ball again.

This time he retreated to a position about 30 meters away and took possession of the ball.

Mota dared not be careless; he was extremely cautious.

As he ran toward Shan Yongzhuo, he stared at Shan Yongzhuo's legs and the soccer ball, trying to anticipate the opponent's movements and prevent being beaten.

Lucio is also rushing over here. As long as Lucio can get close and form a real double team, the opponent will have no way to deal with it.

As for the shot, the position wasn't very good. Not only was it far from the goal, but it was also on the right side, and the angle wasn't ideal either.

Motta thought that when he saw Lucio getting close, he felt that the defense was fine this time.

However, Shan Yongzhuo then performed an astonishing move.

He didn't wait for Lucio to get close, but instead kicked the ball out with force.

"This……"

"Is that a cross? But there's no one from their team in the penalty area!"

Mota didn't quite understand at first, but soon he did.

"Look at this!" The commentator was also surprised. "Shan Yongzhuo's pass? It seems like a mistake..."

"No! That's a shot!"

"Goal! What a brilliant shot!"

Amidst gasps from the crowd, the football arced sharply towards the top right corner of the goal. Cesar made a desperate save, nearly getting his hands on the ball.

However, it was still a close call; he could only watch as the ball grazed the junction of the post and crossbar and nestled into the net.

"call……"

The commotion in the stands reflected the panic of Inter Milan fans, while Roma fans cheered wildly, chanting, "Shan Yongzhuo!"

The commentator for Sky Sports Italy exclaimed in surprise, "Goal! It's Shan Yongzhuo again! In the 25th minute, he has once again breached Cesar's goal!"

"Roma are now two goals ahead of Inter Milan!"

The television was also replaying Shan Yongzhuo's goal in slow motion. The footage showed Shan Yongzhuo taking a shot from the spot and executing a brilliant outside-of-the-foot shot.

"We all know that Shan Yongzhuo has a very strong long-range shooting ability and is particularly good at kicking various curved shots."

"His outside of the foot is also so powerful; we can see that terrible curve, which greatly interfered with Cesar's judgment."

"Inter Milan's bench features the Portuguese player Quaresma, known for his outside-of-the-foot shot, but Shan Yongzhuo's outside-of-the-foot shot was even more powerful than Quaresma's!"

"..."

The commentators were analyzing the goal in various ways.

While Shan Yongzhuo was celebrating his goal with his teammates, Totti couldn't help but run over and exclaim, "Shan, I thought you had made a mistake passing the ball to me, but I didn't expect that, you were amazing!"

"Yeah, kid, your shots are really unreasonable."

"I can't believe it, I thought you were going to get dispossessed again."

Mexes scoffed, "You guys just don't believe in Dan. I, for one, never doubt that Dan will score."

Shan Yongzhuo couldn't help but look at Max with new respect; this guy was quite clever.

The two goals boosted the confidence of the Roma players while dealing a significant blow to the Inter Milan players.

Their players started to become increasingly agitated, while Roma played brilliantly and gradually turned the tide.

On the sidelines, Mourinho frowned as he looked onto the field, mainly at Roma's number 19, his eyes somewhat lost.

He believed he had taken Shan Yongzhuo and the Roma team very seriously, and even went so far as to make outrageous statements before the match in an attempt to influence the opponent's performance.

But now he realizes that he still hasn't paid enough attention.

The opponent's shots were simply beyond comprehension; they were completely unreasonable. They would just take the ball and shoot, without any regard for distance or angle.

And yet, they all made it in.

In fact, he had studied Shan Yongzhuo's shooting and found that although the opponent often scored various terrible long-range shots, the most threatening ones were in the central area in front of the penalty area.

Therefore, he devised a targeted defensive strategy for this match, aiming to prevent the opponent from having a comfortable chance to shoot from that spot and force him to a more distant position.

But now, he realizes he has failed.

The other party is simply too outstanding.

However, after careful consideration, Mourinho clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and finally made a decision.

"I won't adjust it!"

"That might just be luck; he'll never score a goal like that again!"

"That's right, let's keep observing and see."

Mourinho made up his mind, and at the same time, he saw Spalletti on the other side and couldn't help but curl his lips into a smirk.

He didn't think much of Spalletti, but he couldn't help but admire the other's good luck.

"How did this mediocre guy manage to find such a great striker..."
