Chapter 110 New Year Gift

Although the saints who do not believe in evil fell behind two goals just over 20 minutes into the game, they did not mean to give up on the offense at all. On the contrary, with the cheering of more than 30,000 fans at home, the more urgent they attacked.

If Arsenal is the representative of gorgeous football in the Premier League, then Manchester United is the strongest and most comprehensive team. They can not only play a gorgeous cooperation with mercury, but also make a quick counterattack in a passive situation.

Especially when having two full-backs, Giggs and Beckham, Manchester United's favorite is a team like Southampton who dares to attack Manchester United, because they can have the opportunity to constantly fight against opponents.

In the 30th minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack again. This time it was Giggs' turn to break through quickly on the left, then sent a cross, and found Fanny who followed up in the middle.

The Dutch forward was ready to celebrate the second goal, but he didn't expect that Finnish goalkeeper Nimi would bravely block the goal he was bound to win, which made Fanny very depressed.

The danger in front of the door has sounded the alarm for Southampton, but the attack integrated into the blood has made them selectively forget this danger.

Especially after they encountered a controversial penalty next.

……………………

In the 32nd minute, Fernandez passed the ball on the right, Butters attacked to block the pass, Marsden got the ball and passed it to Texam again, the Norwegian forward fell to the ground after colliding with Roy Keane in the penalty area, and Southampton players raised their hands to signal the penalty, but referee Philip Dodd signaled the game to continue.

However, Manchester United's counterattack did not work. Beckham was fouled by Southampton players on the right, and referee Dodd stopped the game.

When Manchester United gave a free kick, Southampton players continued to appeal to Dodd, believing that Manchester United's free kick did not exist at all because Roy Keane fouled against Southampton's striker in Manchester United's penalty area. The game should be blown back and awarded Southampton a penalty.

Dodd completely ignored the Southamptonian's complaint and just gave the Southampton player who fouled Beckham a yellow card. This made Southampton very angry, feeling that they had suffered an unfair punishment at home.

The booing sounded all over the sky at St. Mary's Stadium in Youcheng International, and Saints fans used this performance to express their dissatisfaction with the referee.

Manchester United's free kick, which just passed the midfield, did not threaten Southampton's goal.

Southampton continued to take the initiative and pose some threats to Manchester United's goal, even causing Manchester United to passively reduce their players. In a corner kick attack by Southampton, Manchester United goalkeeper Butters collided with Tsam and Beatty in front of the goal, resulting in a waist injury and unable to persist in the game.

The goalkeeper was injured and the game was stopped again. Ferguson had no choice but to replace Butters with substitute goalkeeper Carroll.

Carroll, who had just appeared on the court, made Manchester United fans experience a terrifying moment. Fernandes passed the ball beautifully and found Tsam in front of Manchester United's goal. Carroll wanted to attack and intercept the ball, but he didn't expect to lose it, giving the Southampton striker the opportunity to hit the empty goal. Fortunately, Tsam was also very surprised by Carroll's mistake. He was not prepared enough to miss the shot, otherwise Manchester United's goal would have been declared lost.

Carroll's mistake made Ferguson on the sidelines furious. Ferguson, who knew Southampton well, knew very well that Carroll's low-level mistake was simply playing with fire. Once the opponent scored a goal and became more imposing, Manchester United would be difficult in this game, and it might even repeat Arsenal's mistake at St. Mary's Stadium.

……………………

In the first half, neither side was able to rewrite the score on the field again, and Manchester United entered the halftime break with a 2:0 advantage.

After the start of the second half, neither side made substitution adjustments. Manchester United had already used up a substitution quota in the first half. In addition, the team performed well in the first half, so there was no need to make adjustments; Southampton's side was because the strongest people were on the court, and substitution adjustments were not necessarily of use.

Manchester United are quite satisfied with the current score, and as long as they keep it, they can easily score three points. In addition, the team's schedule in February is extremely dense, so it is also good to save a point.

This February is another devilish schedule for Manchester United. Today is against Southampton, four days later, I will go to Birmingham City to play the 25th round of the Premier League with Birmingham City, and then the Manchester City derby on February 9. On the 15th, I will have a strong dialogue with Arsenal in the 5th round of the FA Cup. On the 19th, I will play against Juventus at home, on the 22nd, and on the 25th away from Italy. That is the away game against Juventus.

In just 25 days, the team has to go through seven major games, 3 of which face strong opponents like Arsenal and Juventus, as well as traveling thousands of miles to Italy. It is undoubtedly a difficult challenge for Manchester United. Ferguson and Manchester United naturally have to be careful in their calculations.

Yin Jun wanted to continue the attack because on this special day today, he really wanted to score a goal, present a gift to his parents and relatives, and Chinese fans, but unfortunately he couldn't beat him alone. Faced with teammates who were satisfied with the status quo and on the defensive situation on the scene, Yin Jun could not change this situation alone.

……………………

As the saying goes, "If you are willing to plant flowers, you will not grow, and if you are unwilling to plant willows and willows, you will become shade." Just when Yin Jun had already given up scoring on this special day, the goal came unexpectedly.

Ferguson made the second substitution adjustment in the game in the 70th minute. Scholes replaced Beckham and Yin Jun went to the right.

The game has about twenty minutes left before the end. Scholes, who has just appeared, doesn't want to keep salting for such a long time. Manchester United, led by him, set off a wave of offensives.

Scholes' pass accurately found Van Nie in the penalty area, but Van Nie's shot was cleared by Swedish midfielder Svensen in Southampton.

The ball flew out of the penalty area, but it happened to land in front of Yin Jun who was in front of him.

Faced with this sudden gift, Yin Jun had no embarrassed thoughts, and kicked the ball straight to the Southampton gate.

Southampton goalkeeper Nimi was preparing to snatch Fanny's shot, but in a blink of an eye the shot was replaced by Yin Jun in another position. He had no time to adjust his position and could only watch the ball enter the empty goal behind him.

3:0!

Yin Jun, who helped Manchester United secure the victory, rushed to the corner flag area, lifted up his jersey jacket, and exposed a line of words inside: Happy New Year of the Motherland!
