Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 69 How did they even get in?

The game continued, and Inter Milan's defensive strategy remained unchanged.

This made Shan Yongzhuo very happy.

As long as no one is assigned to specifically mark him, his powerful legs will definitely be able to find space to shoot, though that will only happen after ten minutes.

During the skill cooldown period, Shan Yongzhuo simply stood in the opponent's half of the court, symbolically running a few steps to the left and a few steps to the right, just like an old man taking a walk in the park.

Inter Milan's players are quite adaptable; they quickly regained their composure and achieved results through fluid attacks.

In the 33rd minute, Sneijder played a through ball into the penalty area, and Milito, leaning on Burdisso, fired a powerful shot into the goal.

Inter Milan pulled one back.

Cheers erupted from the stands as Inter Milan fans erupted in wild celebration, releasing their pent-up frustration.

This is understandable.

From the start of the match, Inter Milan dominated Roma, maintaining a firm advantage on the field. However, Roma managed to take a two-goal lead against Inter Milan with two unreasonable shots on goal.

This left Inter Milan fans feeling terrible, even somewhat desperate.

Now that Inter Milan has scored, they all breathed a sigh of relief and regained their confidence in the game.

Yes.

Their number 19 is very good, but he's just one person. The strong Inter Milan team has a great squad with everyone being very good. We will definitely be able to beat a team like Roma that relies on one player.

However, Inter Milan fans' joy did not last long, as they suffered another blow.

In the 39th minute, Shan Yongzhuo finally received the ball.

He received the ball with his back to goal 25 meters from the edge of the penalty area; it was a beautiful through ball from De Rossi.

However, with Lucio close behind, Motta had already rushed over from the front, and the two of them once again double-teamed Shan Yongzhuo.

Dan Yongzhuo glanced at the goal behind him. The distance and angle were both excellent. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to use any other skills to get past the goal.

After scooping the ball up, Shan Yongzhuo immediately executed a bicycle kick, forcefully sending the ball backward.

Lucio initially thought the opponent would try to turn and shoot before Motta could double-team him, so he paid special attention to the opponent's upper body movements, because to turn, the opponent would first use feints to deceive him.

However, the next moment, Lucio was a little confused, as Shan Yongzhuo lobbed the ball directly into the penalty area.

"Is this a pass?"

Lucio made the same judgment again.

However, when he turned around, he found Cesar lying dejectedly on the ground, while the ball lay quietly inside the goal.

"This……"

Lucio's face was filled with disbelief. "They can get in like this?"

Inter Milan's players shared Lucio's sentiment, feeling that the opposing number 19 was simply too incredible, how could he score such a shot?
"1-3, Inter Milan's goal was scored just 6 minutes ago, and Shan Yongzhuo has scored again."

"That was a bicycle kick from outside the penalty area! Roma has once again taken a two-goal lead. Unbelievable! The first half isn't even over yet, and Shan Yongzhuo has already completed his hat-trick!"

"He was simply unstoppable; Inter Milan's goal was practically defenseless against him!"

The commentator was very excited, while Inter Milan's goalkeeper wasn't feeling so good.

They just pulled one back, only six minutes have passed, and the opponent has scored again?
There is no end!

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, watching Shan Yongzhuo celebrate on the field, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

There's nothing we can do. It's simply unfair that a ball like that could go in.

In fact, Inter Milan's players all performed well, and Mourinho knew that the blame couldn't be placed on the players; it was simply that the opponent's shots were too unreasonable.

After Shan Yongzhuo scored, there wasn't much time left in the first half, and soon it was time for halftime.

Inter Milan and Roma entered their respective locker rooms with completely different feelings.

The Roma players were in high spirits. Leading Inter Milan by two goals at halftime was a perfect improvement over their pre-match rhetoric. They didn't dare say they could win, and even thought a draw would be good enough.

However, I never expected it to turn out like this.

Head coach Spalletti was also in a good mood.

He was very satisfied with the result of leading Inter Milan by two goals at halftime, and he was also getting more and more pleased with Shan Yongzhuo.

This young man, whom I had insisted on bringing from Austria, certainly did not disappoint me.

"This time, that annoying Portuguese man has nothing to say, right?"

"He's such a great player, yes, we won because of his goals."

"So what? Does a team not rely on its players?"

"Even that Portuguese guy couldn't handle the order, could he?"

Spalletti believed that Shan Yongzhuo would definitely become a big star in the future, and that he, Shan Yongzhuo's mentor, would definitely be labeled as good at discovering and cultivating young players.

This would be a major success story in my coaching career, and it's definitely worth bragging about.

The second half of the game begins.

Inter Milan, trailing by two goals at home, had to put more effort into attacking, and their defensive strategy also changed.

Mourinho had to admit that his defensive strategy in the first half was a failure.

Then he made an adjustment, replacing veteran Lucio with defensive stalwart Chivu, and having Chivu closely mark Shan Yongzhuo.

However, Roma strengthened their defense in the second half, with the whole team tightening their formation. Even Totti dropped back very deep, leaving only Shan Yongzhuo standing there in the frontcourt.

This makes Inter Milan's attack even more difficult.

Even though Roma's defense isn't particularly strong, when a team is determined to defend, it's still very difficult to break through the opponent's goal.

Dan Yongzhuo, playing in the attacking third, felt somewhat disappointed.

He was practically invincible in this match. Even if Chivu came to mark him closely, Shan Yongzhuo didn't think it would have any effect. As long as he got the ball and used his skills, Chivu wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

However, Roma's defensive tactics significantly reduced Shan Yongzhuo's opportunities.

Eight minutes into the second half, Shan Yongzhuo hadn't even touched the ball once.

Therefore, Shan Yongzhuo started to conserve his energy again. Although the physical exertion in this match was not too great, Shan Yongzhuo still decided to rest if he could.

Looking at the lazy Shan Yongzhuo, Qi Wo was also puzzled. "Why isn't this guy running anymore? He's just standing there without moving. Isn't he too lazy?"

However, Chivu immediately thought of the opponent's performance in the first half and felt that perhaps this was the difference between geniuses.

"Geniuses are always hard to understand, like that guy Mario. He seems even harder to understand than Balotelli..."

Of course, this is Chivu's polite way of putting it. His true thoughts deep down, like Balotelli's, can be described as geniuses, but are essentially idiots.

Shan Yongzhuo?
He might be a genius, or he might be an idiot like Balotelli.
