Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 702 Unlucky Harry Kane

Shan Yongzhuo has already dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Pyatov had already abandoned his goal, his face showing a resolute expression of fighting to the death. In his view, whether the ball went in or not, the outcome could not be any worse.

The team is already two goals down, so conceding another goal won't really matter.

All he hoped for was to defeat Shan Yongzhuo in a one-on-one duel. If he could really block Shan Yongzhuo's one-on-one shot, it would be worth it even if he lost the game, at least his strength would be recognized.

However, this is still wishful thinking.

To everyone's astonishment, Shan Yongzhuo charged into the penalty area. Facing the onrushing goalkeeper, he quickly shifted his weight to the left and used his left foot to guide the ball to the left, seemingly trying to get past on the left side.

Pyatov's eyes lit up, and he thought he had figured out Shan Yongzhuo's intentions.

Overjoyed, he rushed towards this side, certain that he could defeat Shan Yongzhuo in this duel.

However, it all seemed like a lie, a well-designed trap. After Pyatov fell and lost his balance, Shan Yongzhuo had already completed a quick shift of his weight and dribbled the ball past from the left side.

This is a pendulum-style dribble.

Moreover, his execution was even more masterful than that of Ronaldo, the "alien." Any goalkeeper would be helpless against such skillful dribbling.

As Pyatov looked back in despair, Shan Yongzhuo casually pushed the ball into the Donetsk Shakhtar Donetsk goal, making the score 3-0.

The Donetsk miners were completely unable to resist, and Granada's home stadium turned into a sea of ​​jubilation.

Shan Yongzhuo's second goal came during first-half stoppage time. This goal was like a strategic missile that shot down from the sky, completely destroying the mentality of the Shakhtar Donetsk players.

The Shakhtar Donetsk fans who had traveled with the team were speechless; such a crushing defeat was a devastating blow to them.

At that moment, the Granada players celebrating wildly on the field, especially Granada's number 19 Shan Yongzhuo, were unstoppable in their eyes.

The outcome of the match was perhaps already decided from the very beginning.

Shakhtar Donetsk is no match for Granada.

The first half has ended.

Granada, with a commanding 3-0 lead, sent their players happily back to their locker room.

"Single, you didn't win the Champions League Golden Boot in just one game, did you?"

As they walked toward the locker room, Nainggolan put his arm around Shan Yongzhuo's shoulder and said with a smile.

Shan Yongzhu shrugged: "That's possible, but it depends on the coach. I think I'll definitely be substituted off not long into the second half."

Nainggolan smiled and nodded. Indeed, that was a very likely possibility.

He also felt a little envious of Shan Yongzhuo.

Although he is a midfielder, he has never been a midfielder in the traditional sense.

Compared to being the team's brain, organizing and directing the team's attack, or acting as a sweeping defensive midfielder to build an ironclad defense for the team.

Nainggolan's favorite rhythm is to make forward runs, lurking behind the team's forwards, and occasionally taking a shot at the opponent's goal.

to him.

They organized both offense and defense, but the lack of goals was disappointing.

He was incredibly envious of Shan Yongzhuo's goal-scoring ability, yet he couldn't achieve it.

In any competition that Shan Yongzhuo participates in, he is guaranteed to win the Golden Boot.

Moreover, he would also break records, elevating them to a point that would leave everyone in despair. Nainggolan thought for a moment and decided he should score a goal as well.

The players walked into the locker room chatting and laughing. Shan Yongzhuo was also very happy. The rain had subsided a lot, and he was thinking of scoring another goal in the second half, at least a hat-trick.

However, Pellegrini dealt him a heavy blow.

Pellegrini chose to substitute him.

Nainggolan was also substituted at the same time.

Shan Yongzhuo felt somewhat helpless, but he had no choice but to accept it.

In fact, he also understood Pellegrini's thoughts.

Playing in the rain is a great test of a player's physical fitness, as it requires significantly more energy than usual.

The outcome of the match is now pretty much decided. Given Shakhtar Donetsk's strength, even if Shan Yongzhuo and Nainggolan both come off the field, it's unlikely they can score three goals in the second half.

Sitting on the bench, Shan Yongzhuo watched the game intently.

However, 20 minutes into the second half, Shan Yongzhuo began to feel fortunate that he had been substituted. Luckily, he was given a break, otherwise he might be the one rolling on the ground right now.

During one attack, Harry Kane received the ball and was then tackled viciously by the opposing defender, Kucher, who sent him flying. The scream he let out made Shan Yongzhuo shudder.

That's really brutal.

Harry Kane rolled on the ground several times, still unable to dissipate the terrible impact. Given his horrific condition, even without the team doctor's examination, everyone knew the answer: the England striker would definitely have to leave the field, and would likely face a period of injury layoffs.

Sure enough, a stretcher was brought in, Harry Kane was hurriedly lifted off the vehicle, and the ambulance started up and took him directly to the hospital.

Dan Yongzhuo couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Even if he had an invincible shield, he would probably have been injured by that tackle.

The Granada players on the field were already indignant. Led by Van Dijk, several guys angrily tried to take down Kucher, and the field was in complete chaos.

The game was suspended for a long time.

After the restart, Kucher was sent off, and Shawcross, who punched Kucher first, also received a red card for boxing in front of the referee.

Granada suffered a net loss; despite being the victim of a malicious foul, they ultimately failed to gain a numerical advantage, resulting in a 10-on-10 situation.

However, no one blamed Shawcross.

This act of standing up for his teammates earned him unanimous approval from them. Even Pellegrini didn't blame him; he simply offered a few words of encouragement before sending him back to the locker room.

The game resumes.

However, there's no suspense left.

In the final moments, both sides calmly ran down the clock without scoring again.

Granada secured a 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at home, marking a winning start to their Champions League campaign.

This was also Granada's first-ever Champions League victory.

Worth celebrating.

The Camenes Stadium, shrouded in rain, transformed into a sea of ​​celebration, with fans excitedly singing the team's anthem and reluctant to leave.

Shan Yongzhuo and Nainggolan were the first to return to the locker room and leave, as they were going to visit the unfortunate Harry Kane in the hospital.
