Chapter 106 The Best Curse of the Moon

Winning the Premier League’s Best Player of the Month is undoubtedly a happy thing for Yin Jun. However, after the game against Chelsea, Yin Jun was not happy. Because in this game, he once again lost zero in the two statistics of goals and assists!

Since he contributed 1 shot and 1 pass against Black Cat Sunderland in New Year's Day, helping Manchester United reverse their opponent 3-1 to win, Yin Jun has no goals or assists in the following games.

In the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United beat Portsmouth 4-1, but Yin Jun took a rotation in that game, so there would naturally be no goals and assists without appearance.

In the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester United was tied 1:1 by Blackburn at home. Yin Jun started and played the whole game. His performance was average, without goals and no assists.

Manchester United won 3-1 away against West Brom, and Yin Jun once again lost no results.

Now, in the game against Chelsea, Yin Jun, who just won the first Premier League Player of the Month award in his career on Monday, was closely guarded by Chelsea, made no achievements on the offensive end, and was replaced by Perron in the 85th minute. The Argentine midfielder made a wonderful pass on the left in stoppage time, assisting Fran to score the final goal, helping Manchester United keep 3 points at Old Trafford.

However, Yin Jun, who had just made a statement in front of the media that he wanted to help the team score 3 points in this game, did not help the team much on the offensive end.

Although this Chelsea player is relatively old, his experience has made Yin Jun suffer enough on the court.

Seeing that January had passed, Yin Jun had no goals and assists in addition to one goal and one assist on the first day. For a time, the statement of the Premier League's best curse was once again spread to major media outlets in England.

……………………

The winter of the 2002-2003 season is a memorable moment for international football. Because starting this season, there is an additional saying in the football world called "winter transfer window".

In the 2002-2003 season, FIFA agreed to open a "transfer window" in the middle of the season, that is, in January of the new year, allowing players between multinational clubs to enter and exit before and mid-season.

From then on, winter transfers have become a useful supplement for world football after summer transfers. In each season's summer transfer window and winter transfer window, each club is very busy. In order to supplement the lineup or eliminate redundant staff, the club began endless bargaining with other clubs and agents.

This year's first winter transfer window, England international central defender Jonathan Woodgate became the target for a transfer fee of 12 million pounds (13.5 million euros). He moved from a heavily debt-ridden Leeds United to Newcastle, a Magpies' team that is determined to win the Premier League championship.

However, most Premier League teams have no movement about the new thing in the winter window. For example, Manchester United and Ferguson do not have any plans to make up for it. On the one hand, it is because Manchester United's lineup is thick enough, and on the other hand, it is because there are no good signing targets.

In this winter window, another eye-catching transfer in Britain was the former Liverpool legendary star, Robbie Fowler, who was called "God" by KOP, and also fled the debt-ridden Leeds United. His next home is Manchester United's city rival Manchester City!

Although Robbie Fowler's current form is no longer as brave as his peak at Liverpool, he is still a thigh-level figure in Leeds United, who has an average of 1 goal in two games.

A winter transfer window not only sold the thighs of the defense line, but also sold the thighs of the forward line. The fall of White Rose is irreversible.

Yin Jun did not pay much attention to the situation of Leeds United, Manchester United's arch-rival. He is working hard to adjust his condition, hoping to get rid of the sluggishness of previous games.

On the evening of January 22, local time in the UK, Manchester United was visiting Blackburn, which was the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals. As a result, it became the target of Yin Jun's depression.

Because Manchester United's situation in the League Cup was not really good because they were tied by Blackburn in the first leg. However, after a season where all four were gone, Ferguson certainly did not want to lose all the collective honors again this season, so he issued a kill order for this game and sent out the strongest lineup in his hands.

At Ewood Park Stadium, Yin Jun started a big kill, scoring twice, and assisted his teammates to score the third goal, helping Manchester United beat Blackburn 3-1.

The two goals not only allowed Yin Jun to break the so-called best curse of the month, but also allowed Manchester United to advance to this year's League Cup final with a total score of 4:2 with this victory.

Manchester United's opponent in the League Cup final was Liverpool. Although the Reds lost to Sheffield United 1:2 away in the first leg, they also successfully revenge at Anfield Stadium with a score of 2:0 and led the way to this year's League Cup final.

On the afternoon of March 2, Manchester United will stage a double Red Champions League with Liverpool at Cardiff Millennium Stadium to compete for the first championship of the season.

Manchester United's last game in January was the 4th round of the FA Cup, where they were in Old Trafford to face the visiting Hammers Gang West Ham United.

Because the Lunar New Year is approaching, Yin Jun's parents traveled thousands of miles from China to the UK to spend the New Year with Yin Jun, which made Yin Jun very happy.

Although Yin Jun did not score a goal in the game, he became the best in the game after the game because he gave a total of 4 assists in this game!

Manchester United's other players in the midfield, Fanny, Giggs, Beckham and Scholes, all received gifts from Yin Jun and each scored goals.

After winning the four-time assists in this game, Yin Jun's assists this season have risen to 14 times, becoming the player with the most assists in Manchester United.

Driven by Yin Jun, the Manchester United midfield engine, Manchester United slaughtered West Ham United 6-0 at home.

Although Yin Jun did not score in the game, Yan Peixiu, who had traveled thousands of miles to the UK, was not very happy, but when Yin Jun was replaced by Bellon, tens of thousands of people stood up and applauded and cheered Yin Jun, Yan Peixiu felt as sweet as eating honey.

In the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Blackburn, Manchester United eliminated their opponents and advanced with Yin Jun's double score. In this game, Yin Jun did not score, but Manchester United ushered in the most exciting victory of the season in front of more than 60,000 fans at home. British media exclaimed that Yin Jun, who did not score, was even more terrifying!

However, in the draw of the 5th round of the FA Cup, Manchester United was not very lucky. They drew with Arsenal. The two strongest teams in the Premier League today and the two best-performing teams in the traditional FA Cup event met early in this year's FA Cup quarterfinals.
