Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 667 We are definitely different species
Huang Bowen noticed that Shan Yongzhuo was being closely marked, and had no choice but to pass the ball to Yu Hai, who was making a run down the wing.

Yu Hai dribbled the ball along the wing for a distance and then passed it back to Huang Bowen, who had made a run into the middle.

Huang Bowen was unguarded at this moment. Hummels had already retreated to guard Shan Yongzhuo. Kroos, who had returned to defend earlier, did not pay much attention to Huang Bowen and his defense was not very tight.

Huang Bowen saw the ball being passed to him, but there was no defense in front of him.

Passing the message to Shan Yongzhuo would be quite dangerous.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Huang Bowen met the ball head-on with a kick.

The ball was more than 25 meters from the goal, but surprisingly, it was a high-quality shot.

The football headed straight for the top right corner of the goal.

Neuer tried his best to save the ball, but he couldn't reach it. The ball bounced off the inside of the goalpost and landed in the left side of the net.

The ball went in!
2 is better than 1!

Commentator He Wei excitedly shouted, "Huang Bowen! Huang Bowen! Goal! China has taken the lead over Germany!"

"In the 35th minute of the match, the Chinese team launched a counter-attack. Huang Bowen received a pass from Yu Hai 25 meters from the goal and unleashed a powerful shot, breaking through the German team's goal!"

"However, this goal should still be attributed to Shan Yongzhuo; he attracted too much of the German team's defensive attention..."

The camera turned.

Standing next to Shan Yongzhuo were Boateng, Hummels, and Khedira, who had just returned to defend and arrived near Shan Yongzhuo. The three of them surrounded Shan Yongzhuo, making it very difficult for him to move.

Huang Bowen was accompanied only by Tony Cross, who wasn't very closely guarded.

Commentator He Wei joked, "It seems the German team is too wary of Shan Yongzhuo. They've focused all their energy on defending him, thus neglecting the other players..."

On the field.

The Chinese players celebrated together, especially Huang Bowen, who was surrounded by his teammates and enjoyed the treatment of the star.

Huang Bowen himself was also very happy, grinning like a child.

After all, this is a World Cup goal.

Scoring a goal in the World Cup is like a dream come true for the Chinese players.

The previous 5 games.

The Chinese team scored a total of 18 goals, 17 of which were scored by Shan Yongzhuo and the other by Hao Junmin.

No one else scored.

Huang Bowen has scored a goal.

And they even scored the goal that put them ahead of Germany.

If they can maintain this score and ultimately win, this goal will be enough to make him a hero of the game, immediately leading to a surge in his market value and the favor of advertisers.

Meanwhile, Shan Yongzhuo on the other side was also smiling happily, and his pressure dropped sharply.

For the first 20 minutes, Shan Yongzhuo's performance in the game was not very good.

Firstly, the Chinese team simply didn't have any chance to get to that position in the attacking third, which meant he basically couldn't receive the ball, and without receiving the ball, scoring a goal was out of the question.

On the other hand, he was also a bit frustrated by the defense.

Boateng and Hummels were basically marking him closely, and with Khedira and Schweinsteiger potentially dropping back to help defend at any time, it was a three-man attack.

And there were three burly men.

This treatment...

No one would have a good way to deal with such a defense, but Shan Yongzhuo felt that he was special.

Because he also has skills.

For his last goal, he only used the Whirlwind Ground Kick and the Lightness Skill Water Skimming. He still has a few other skills at his disposal, and he can keep using the Mighty Vajra Kick.

However, the Chinese team was not performing well, and it was difficult for them to launch counterattacks. As a result, he had a hard time receiving the ball, which was very frustrating.

But this time, Huang Bowen inexplicably scored a goal that seemed to have an element of luck, which made Shan Yongzhuo relax a lot. In the remaining ten minutes of the first half...

The German team launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team.

However, they still failed to score.

The halftime break has begun.

The score at halftime was 2-1, with the Chinese team leading the German team at the Mineirão Stadium, a result that surprised many.

This score is unacceptable to the German team.

Germany is a powerhouse team that has won the World Cup three times, is ranked second in the world, has reached the semi-finals in three consecutive World Cups, and is the top favorite to win this World Cup.

The current German national team is at its peak and is one of the strongest teams in the world.

The Chinese team is just an Asian team. A few years ago, they were considered one of the weakest teams in Asia, and their world ranking was only 57th.

Trailing China at halftime was unacceptable to the German players.

German players have their own pride; each of them is a superstar on their own.

Even players like Schürrle, Mertesacker, Götze, and Draxler can only sit on the bench; securing a starting position is not easy for them.

This is the pride of the German team.

but now.

Even with Shan Yongzhuo, the world's number one star, on the opposing team, they cannot accept falling behind when facing the Asian team, China.

This is a shame.

However, upon closer reflection, the German players realized that they didn't seem to have a good solution to this "humiliation." The opponent's superior strength was the only factor; luck might have played a part, but tactical factors were far more important.

Shan Yongzhuo's goal was a complete display of his individual ability. He went on a solo run at the start of the game, and the opponent couldn't stop him. What could they do?

As for the second goal, even if the German team was too concerned about Shan Yongzhuo's presence, it was still a result of their focus on him.

But how can one not care?
The opponent clearly intends to pass the ball whenever there is an opportunity. Once Shan Yongzhuo receives the ball, can Boateng and Hummels defend against him alone?

The German team wouldn't dare to bet on that.

After all, the two of them had suffered far too many defeats at Shan Yongzhuo's hands.

While the opponent's defense was somewhat shameless, it didn't violate the rules. Since I couldn't break through their tight defense, what could I do?

Skills are not as good as people.

What can be done about this?

They were somewhat convinced by Shan Yongzhuo's abilities.

But the feeling of defeat was really unpleasant. Every player walked back to the locker room with their heads down. They were a little down and uncertain about the upcoming games.

This situation shouldn't have happened to the German team.

This is the German team, after all.

One of the strongest teams in Europe and the world.

Every player on the team is a world-class player; they possess top-notch skills and extensive experience.

Being behind at halftime isn't really a big deal.

But when I think about that opening scene with a dragon...

The German players were somewhat devastated.

If German players were to give their evaluation, they would naturally think of the media's evaluation of Shan Yongzhuo.

"We are definitely different species!"
