Chapter 213 Fiery Barrel

After winning the two opponents in this U.S. training camp that were included in the FIFA A-level competition and winning enough FIFA points, the Chinese team's last opponent, the Major League Soccer team New York, Alihan Finally, we can give some opportunities to the fringe players recruited in this national team training session.

By winning against its two Latin American rivals, Haiti and Costa Rica, the Chinese team will score 748 points. Even after weighting the previous three games of draws with Brazil and Chile and a small victory over Estonia, the Chinese team's points in the next period will still be Ushering in a substantial increase, the ranking will also rise rapidly, and it is very likely to return to the top fifty.

In fact, three international players who played in the Premier League, including Yin Jun, Sun Jihai, and Li Tie, did not go north to New York with the team after playing in Costa Rica. Instead, they took a flight directly from Miami to Manchester.

This is also a tacit understanding reached between Ali Han and the three Premier League clubs. The three clubs all support Ali Han, but try not to send these players in some insignificant warm-up matches.

On the second day after Yin Jun and the others returned to the UK, the match between the Chinese team and the New York Metro Stars started in New York. The Chinese team, which was missing three core players, played very poorly and eventually lost with a score of 1:2. This friendly match.

This also became the only game the Chinese team lost in the four games they played in the United States. They had won three consecutive victories before.

This game also allowed Chinese fans to see clearly the true situation of the Chinese team: what will the Chinese team look like without core players, especially without top star Yin Jun.

However, this has nothing to do with Yin Jun. He has already flown back to Manchester and started preparing for the fifth round of the Premier League at the weekend.

………………

When Manchester City went to Monaco to participate in the European Super Cup, the fourth round of the Premier League was over. Arsenal lost a goal first at the Maine Road Stadium, but pulled back two goals in the second half and won with a score of 2:1. .

However, the away game between Manchester United and Southampton was forced to be postponed, so Arsenal was able to accumulate 12 points with 4 consecutive wins and top the list for the first time in the season.

On September 13th, the national team match day ended, major European leagues resumed, and the Premier League also ushered in the fifth round of matches. At 3 pm local time in the UK, 7 Premier League matches started at the same time, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, the traditional top three, and Chelsea, which welcomed a Russian tycoon in the summer, all played at the same time.

Manchester United visited the Valley Stadium in Greenwich in this round to challenge the swordsman Charlton. Ferguson arranged a 4411 formation in the away game, with Yin Jun and Roy Keane in the middle, South African international Fortune playing on the left, and Giggs as a right winger. Van Nistelrooy's single arrow shot forward, and Ronaldo hid behind him, playing as a shadow forward.

This is a new attempt by Ferguson.

Perhaps due to the impact of the FIFA virus, perhaps the players were not used to the formation, and coupled with referee Riley's penalty issues, Manchester United struggled very much in the first half.

Not only the visiting team Manchester United was dissatisfied with Riley's penalty, but the home team was also dissatisfied. As if to show his presence, Riley blew the whistle frequently. The flow of the game was almost fragmented by his whistle, and there were many penalties. It caused dissatisfaction among fans and players from both sides.

In the first half of the game, neither side scored a goal. This situation did not change much after the start of the second half.

………………

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ferguson replaced the poor Fortune with Solskjaer in the 58th minute of the game to strengthen the attack.

This adjustment quickly showed results. In the 61st minute, Manchester United won a free kick in the frontcourt. Giggs's free kick hit the wall and bounced to Yin Jun's feet. Yin Jun sent the ball into the chaos. During the melee,

Van Nistelrooy finally swept the ball into the net from 6 yards out.

After the deadlock was broken, the balance of victory was also tilting towards Manchester United. Especially in the 64th minute of the game, Yule fouled Yin Jun badly and was shown a second yellow card by Riley and retired with a cumulative red card, which became a pressure.

The last straw for Charlton.

In the 67th minute, Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough, passing the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy in the middle. The Dutch forward knocked back, and Yin Jun caught up and hit directly, expanding Manchester United's lead.

Ferguson stood up and applauded Manchester United's goal because he saw good signs from it. Ever since the penalty kick incident in the first round of the league, Ferguson had been worried about problems with Manchester United's frontcourt attack group.

In the following two rounds of the league, Manchester United's offense did have problems. They only won two not-so-powerful opponents with scores of 2:1 and 1:0. Although Yin Jun was unable to play for some reason.

, but it is also obvious that the Portuguese boy and the Dutch forward did not call.

However, the goal just scored was the result of the collaboration between Yin Jun, the Portuguese boy and the Dutch forward. It can be seen that Yin Jun's return has a very obvious effect.

Seven minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo once again forced a breakthrough pass from the left. Yin Jun, who penetrated forward, volleyed in front of the goal and scored another victory for Manchester United.

3:0, Manchester United completely sealed the victory. Yin Jun scored twice again, scoring his fourth Premier League goal this season.

………………

With the victory already decided, Ferguson continued to make substitution adjustments. He first replaced Yin Jun before the game restarted to save energy for the Champions League group stage in midweek.

However, Manchester United, which had a three-goal lead and was already in good form, did not stop there.

In the 79th minute, Charlton defender Powell blocked Ruud van Nistelrooy's close-range shot, but the Dutch scored twice in the 80th minute. Giggs passed a free kick from the right to the far post, and Ruud van Nistelrooy got in place to score the ball.

scored.

At the last moment, Solskjaer, who came on as a substitute, made a diving header and almost made it icing on the cake.

In the end, Manchester United defeated their opponent 4:0 in the away game.

In addition to Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, who played at the same time, also won victories. Chelsea defeated Tottenham 4:2 at home, and Liverpool defeated former Premier League champion Blackburn 3:1 away.

Arsenal became the only strong team that failed to win in this round. They were tied 1:1 by Portsmouth at Highbury Stadium. However, the Gunners continued to rely on their unbeaten record of 4 wins and 1 draw in the first 5 rounds.

Occupying the top spot in the standings, Manchester United is closely behind with 4 consecutive victories.

In the Premier League scorer list, two veterans, Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham, are tied for the top spot with 5 goals. Behind them are Manchester United's double guns, Yin Jun and Ruud van Nistelrooy both scored 4 goals.

Especially Yin Jun, he has become the focus of British media reports after this round of games. He only played two league games this season, and scored twice in both games. Yin Jun's barrel can be said to be very hot.

However, the best player in Manchester United's away game at Charlton was Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the Portuguese youngster still did not score a goal, his breakthroughs on the wing have repeatedly created good opportunities for Manchester United.
