Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 620: As expected, only 901?

The stadium erupted the moment the final whistle blew at Camenes Stadium.

The only main characters in the entire stadium were Granada's players.

Almeria's players immediately left the field; they didn't want to stay and watch someone else win the championship.

The camera followed Granada's players the whole time; some were shouting excitedly, some were shedding tears of joy, and others were waving wildly to the fans.

Shan Yongzhuo is the shy type. He just smiled and hugged his teammates who came to celebrate. He didn't show too much excitement because he thought the victory was planned and the championship was also planned. After yesterday's excitement, he wasn't so excited today.

Winning the championship early in this round means they don't have to wait until next season to receive the trophy.

This is a bizarre policy of La Liga.

If the champion is not determined until the final round of the league, the championship trophy will not be awarded until the next season.

Granada's victory a round early means they can secure the title in advance and then lift the trophy in the next match.

This is quite a lucky thing.

Granada FC also scheduled their championship celebration for after the next match.

However, the celebrations in the small city of Granada began yesterday and reached their climax today.

Fans spontaneously took to the streets, turning the small town into a sea of ​​excitement, which continued even into the night.

Granada, however, only had a week of brief training before heading to their away game.

The final match was an away game against Valladolid, who had already been relegated.

The match was a foregone conclusion, with Granada, fielding their strongest lineup, easily winning 2-0.

At the Sorillia Stadium, the moment the referee blew the final whistle, Granada fans and players, who had traveled to the away game, celebrated their victory by singing and dancing together, holding a championship celebration on someone else's stadium.

Valladolid fans couldn't bear to watch. It was too cruel for others to win the championship on their home turf while their own team was relegated early.

Granada, however, didn't care about any of that.

Although Shan Yongzhuo was relatively calm at this moment, he was still very happy to hold his gold medal, inspired by his teammates.

La Liga champions.

He has won another championship medal.

This is something to celebrate.

The team then left Valladolid and returned to Granada, specifically to the Camenes Stadium.

There, the city was already surrounded by Granada fans celebrating their championship. The whole town seemed to be experiencing an earthquake. A La Liga title had seemingly breathed new life into this ancient town.

In Europe, football has that kind of power.

That night, there were no players, no coaches, and no fans.

There were only Granada people, and they all felt the same way.

Dan Yongzhuo didn't know how he got through the night; he was almost hoarse and his energy was almost completely depleted.

The Camenes Stadium and the streets of Granada were filled with drunken Granada fans, as if they had just experienced the apocalypse.

But who cares?
Nothing is more important than winning the championship.

Interestingly, after a night of celebration, even Granada's staff were all drunk, and when they woke up, they found that the damn championship trophy was nowhere to be found.

So a city-wide sweep began, and they eventually found the championship trophy under a drunken staff member. Fortunately, this was the case, otherwise Granada might have become the first team to lose the championship trophy.

Consider Brazil's loss of the Jules Rimet Trophy; it remains an unsolved mystery to this day.

Granada's season ended after winning the championship.

And Shan Yongzhuo's season has also come to an end.

Only one match remained in all of Europe: the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. His teammates enthusiastically agreed to watch the game together, but Shan Yongzhuo was far from interested.

There's another major event happening this summer: the World Cup.

The lottery ceremony was completed as early as last December.

The Chinese national football team had a relatively favorable draw.

They were placed in Group C, along with Colombia, Ivory Coast, and Greece.

This draw is one of the best among the four Asian powerhouses.

There are no traditionally strong teams in the same group.

Although Greece is a European team, its decline in recent years is very obvious, and it is no longer the team that created the Greek miracle.

Ivory Coast is not exactly a traditional powerhouse in Africa, and the team has lost its vitality since Drogba aged.

The only relatively strong team is Colombia, a South American team.

From the moment the draw was completed, domestic media outlets were already speculating about the round of 16.

Iran has been placed in Group B, along with the previous World Cup champions and runners-up, Spain and the Netherlands, as well as South American powerhouse Chile.

This is practically a death sentence for Iran.

Despite being a top-tier team in Asia, Iran is no match for these three teams.

South Korea also had a bad draw, being placed in Group F, alongside Argentina, one of the favorites to win the championship, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a rising star in Europe, and Nigeria, a traditional powerhouse in Africa.

Although this group is a bit luckier than Iran's, it will still be extremely difficult for them to advance to the round of 16, especially against Nigeria, where South Korea is no match.

The Japanese team is considered the favorite.

They were placed in Group H, along with Belgium, Russia, and Algeria.

At first glance, this group doesn't seem to have any strong teams. Apart from Belgium's obvious rise in recent years, the teams are all fairly evenly matched.

When the draw was completed, the Japanese media began to speculate wildly.

However, Shan Yongzhuo knew that this was an illusion.

This group is definitely not as weak as it looks, especially Algeria. Many of their players play in Europe, and some even play for powerhouse teams like Inter Milan, Valencia, and Porto. They are definitely not as easy to deal with as they seem.

As for Russia, their physical style of play makes them the toughest opponent for Japan.

According to Shan Yongzhuo, it would be quite difficult for Japan to defeat Russia.

Instead of watching the Champions League final, Shan Yongzhuo returned to China early to report on the situation and met with Gao Hongbo.

The two agreed to discuss their opponents in the World Cup group stage.

Both he and Gao Hongbo are quite ambitious and have high hopes for reaching the top 16.

But it's easier said than done, and the two of them aren't as optimistic as the domestic media think.

The Chinese national football team is still significantly inferior to the three teams in the same group.

Colombia is definitely the strongest team in this group. Their style is fierce and brutal, which is the type that the Chinese national team fears the most.

Although Greece has declined, it is still a formidable force, far superior to the Chinese national football team. The physicality of European teams is a significant disadvantage for China.

The only country that seems capable of putting up a fight is Côte d'Ivoire...

At least the gap with Côte d'Ivoire is not that huge.

In the end, Shan Yongzhuo could only sigh, "So, we really can only play a 9-0-1 formation?"
