Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 678 Shan Yongzhuo is the husband of Lady Luck.
In front of the camera.

The entire Argentine defense hung their heads, not daring to raise them.

This is truly a nightmare.

In fact, they didn't have a good solution to this goal. Shan Yongzhuo's corner kick was a direct shot that was really hard to defend against.

The angle was too tricky, the speed was too fast, the power was too great, and the trajectory was extremely bizarre.

It's perfectly normal that they couldn't stop it.

The problem is that in a normal match, conceding a goal so early isn't a big deal.

After all, it's only been 13 minutes, there's still plenty of time.

But this match is the World Cup final.

Everyone knows.

What does it mean to score the first goal in a World Cup final?

The upcoming matches will be very unfavorable for the Argentine team.

Since West Germany's comeback victory in the 1974 World Cup final, the team that scored first in the World Cup final has won every time, except for France in 2006 who were eventually tied by Italy and then lost on penalties.

The historical data is there, which makes the Chinese team's situation look very promising.

In fact, this situation is understandable.

99.99% of the world's players will never even touch the pitch of the World Cup final in their lifetime. Once they reach the final, many teams become extremely cautious.

For example, if you concede the first goal, you will be at a significant disadvantage both tactically and mentally.

Even though there is a significant gap in strength between this Chinese team and the Argentine team.

However, once the Chinese team adopts a tight defensive strategy, it won't be so easy for Argentina to score.

The World Cup final.

Fighting spirit and momentum can make up for a lot of the gap in strength.

Argentina is now facing such a situation.

And right now, the happiest people are the Chinese fans.

"Shan Yongzhuo!"

"China!"

Maracanã Stadium.

The Chinese fans in the stadium chanted slogans in unison. At this moment, they were the happiest people on the planet. Although there was still a long time before the end of the game, they were now completely overjoyed.

This goal by Shan Yongzhuo gave them confidence and hope.

At this moment, countless Chinese fans have only one wish: that the game would end right now!
Unfortunately, it's only been 13 minutes, not 93 minutes.

There are at least 77 minutes left in the game.

Meanwhile, Shan Yongzhuo was piled on top of his crazy teammates, so tightly that his head was completely buried and could not be seen.

On the other side, there are at least 5 million Chinese fans sitting in front of their televisions.

Yes, that's the data, and even more.

Whether it's CCTV or online text-based live broadcasts.

This is absolutely the highest viewership rating in CTV5's history.

CTV5 commentator He Wei is the luckiest person at this moment, as he is the commentator for this match.

Please allow me to calm down.

"Shan Yongzhuo, nowadays, when talking about Chinese football, this name is an unavoidable topic, and it can even be said that this name is equivalent to the Chinese team."

"At this moment, I am incredibly grateful that China has a player like Shan Yongzhuo!"

"It's hard to imagine that he could single-handedly bring the Chinese team to such a level..."

He Wei spoke eloquently.

However, no one refuted his point of view.

This is also a view held by Chinese fans.

Yes.

What makes the Chinese team qualify for the World Cup final?

And what makes them so capable of leading Argentina in the final?
Just because of Shan Yongzhuo!

soon.

The Chinese team celebrated the end of the match, and the game resumed.

Argentina pressed even harder this time, while China began to adopt a more defensive approach. Argentina increased their speed and pace, which gradually made the Chinese team look more and more vulnerable.

One fast break after another, the ball was repeatedly driven into the Chinese team's penalty area.

In the 16th minute, Messi dribbled past his opponent and passed the ball to Higuain, who bypassed Feng Xiaoting and took a shot from 15 meters out, but Zeng Cheng caught it.

"We must be careful. Argentina is only behind, they haven't lost yet, and the game is still far from over. We absolutely cannot let our guard down."

"We cannot relax our mindset just because we scored first. In fact, Argentina is still stronger than China."

Argentine fans were already cheering in the stands when they saw Higuain's shot blocked.

Chinese fans were filled with lingering fear.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, Sheng Zengcheng is awesome!"

The game continues.

Facing Argentina's relentless pressing, the Chinese players are no longer able to launch counter-attacks as easily as before, and even getting the ball is not so easy for them.

In the 18th minute, Huang Bowen received the ball in the backfield and tried to stabilize the rhythm of the game, but the Argentine players rushed up and pressed hard.

The backfield was forced to play the ball out quickly, which made it easier for Argentina to gain possession.

Garay received the ball in the backfield.

A long pass was delivered to Biglia, who made a run down the wing and then lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

Du Wei dared not be careless. After winning the ball, he faced the baseline and, under pressure from the Argentine players, had no choice but to kick the ball out of bounds.

Corner kick.

Argentina takes a corner kick.

Zheng Zhi won the first touch, but he also headed the ball out of bounds.

It's another corner kick.

The biggest wish of Argentine fans right now is that Argentina could have a player like Shan Yongzhuo, who can score directly from a corner kick.

Unfortunately.

they do not.

Even the biggest star like Messi doesn't have that ability.

Argentina takes another corner kick.

The corner kick was sent into the Chinese team's penalty area again, and Zabaleta suddenly darted out from seven meters in front of the goal, heading the ball ahead of Wu Xi.

Very surprised.

clang!
Zeng Cheng didn't react in time, but fortunately the ball hit the right post and bounced back.

In front of the goal, Higuain burst out from the right and swept his right leg.

The football flew towards the goal again.

Snapped!
This time, Zeng Cheng reacted quickly, pressing his entire body down and finally controlling the ball, ending Argentina's attack.

"Damn, I'm about to have a heart attack!"

"That was close! My brother-in-law's header was just outrageous!"

"The goalposts were a huge help!"

"Shan Yongzhuo used to have a nickname, 'The Husband of the Goddess of Luck.' Sure enough, with Shan Yongzhuo around, the luck buff is maxed out!"

Chinese fans felt a wave of lingering fear, but were also relieved that they hadn't conceded a goal.

Meanwhile, the Argentine fans were wailing in despair.

"Damn it, it's a pillar again!"

"God, why won't you help us!"

"If they score, we'll tie it!"

Column.

This is an unavoidable topic in football, and it has been a recurring theme in this World Cup.

Almost every match involves hitting the post; perhaps the stadiums in Brazil are cursed by Amazonian sorcerers.

In that damned Brazilian territory, the curse has a tremendous restraining effect on Argentina.

Shan Yongzhuo is the husband of Lady Luck, possessing immunity to curses, which is why he is able to score goals.

This is the helpless understanding of Argentine fans at this moment.
