The invitational tournament ushered in the second round two days later, with Manchester United facing Parma, and host Ajax facing La Liga giants Barcelona.

In this game, Manchester United's starting lineup has many changes from the previous game. The goalkeeper is Carroll, the back four is O'Shea, Ferdinand, Brown and Sylvester, and the midfielder is Beckham.

Veron, Butt and Giggs partnered, Solskjaer and Forlan served as the double forwards, and Yin Jun still sat on the bench.

Since Keane was on the bench, Beckham wore the captain's armband, which may indicate that in the new season, Beckham will replace Giggs and become Manchester United's second captain.

After the opening, Manchester United frequently launched attacks from both wings, and even the two central defenders Brown and Ferdinand pressed forward from time to time.

In the 15th minute, Ferdinand received a pass from Beckham and took the ball from the left. Solskjaer almost succeeded with an overhead shot.

In the 23rd minute, Brown made a pass and Giggs opened the scoring.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's absence gave Forlan a chance to perform, but the Uruguayan still couldn't find the feeling and lived up to Ferguson's previous praise for him.

His mistake in the 47th minute was particularly unforgivable. Yin Jun, who came on as a substitute for Beckham in the midfield, accurately passed the ball straight into the penalty area and landed very comfortably at the feet of Forlan, but he incredibly missed.

In the 50th minute, Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll kicked off the ball and the ball fell into the Parma penalty area. Veron directly faced French goalkeeper Frey and calmly lobbed the ball into the net.

Veron's outstanding performance can give Ferguson temporary relief. Since Forlan is still unable to find his form, Ferguson is looking for emergency measures.

In 10 days, the Champions League qualifying rounds will begin. Scholes has flown back to the UK early due to a knee injury in the match with Ajax. Ruud Ruud has a thigh strain and did not appear on the bench. Ferguson

Faced with the dilemma of lack of forwards, he may abandon Forlan and use Veron to meet his urgent needs.

In the 55th minute, Yin Jun made a pass and Solskjaer headed the ball into the far corner from the near post. Manchester United sealed the victory 3:0 Parma.

In the remaining time, Manchester United continued to control the situation. Forlan moved to the left and Giggs moved forward to the front line. This may be one of Ferguson's ways to solve the front line crisis.

………………

After Manchester United's 3-0 victory, the points reached 9 points.

In another game, the host Ajax narrowly defeated Barcelona 4:3, which makes the standings of this Four Nations Invitational Tournament interesting: the host had 1 win and 1 draw, scored 6 goals and scored 10 points; Barcelona

1 win and 1 loss but scored 7 goals and also scored 10 points, ranking second because of their inferior record; but Manchester United, with 1 win and 1 draw, only scored 9 points and ranked third; two consecutive losses

Parma is at the bottom with 2 points.

However, the best player of this Four Nations Invitational Tournament was won by Yin Jun. He played as a substitute in both games. In 90 minutes of playing time, he achieved 1 shot and 2 passes, and his performance was eye-catching.

Ajax's talented player Van der Vaart was very dissatisfied with Yin Jun being elected as the best player of the tournament because he believed that he was more qualified to be elected than Yin Jun.

In Ajax's 4:3 comeback victory over Barcelona, ​​Van der Vaart contributed 2 shots and 1 pass. He almost single-handedly helped Ajax reverse Louis van Gaal's team and led the team to win the Four Nations title.

The winner of the invitational tournament.

However, in the final score, Yin Jun's score was higher than him.

Yin Jun, who came on as a substitute in both games, scored 9.5 points and 8.5 points respectively in the two games, while Van der Vaart, who played in the two games, scored 7.5 points and 10 points respectively, with a score of 0.5 points.

It's a pity to lose.

Van der Vaart believes that the best player in the championship team was not awarded the best player in the tournament, but the third substitute player was awarded the best player. This is simply a shame for the tournament.

However, when reporters asked Yin Jun about Van der Vaart's words, Yin Jun's reaction left everyone stunned.

Yin Jun: He is right, he can come to me to get the best trophy! Or he can tell me the address and I can deliver it to my door?

Of course, it is impossible for Van der Vaart to come to Yin Jun to ask for the best trophy, let alone to let Yin Jun deliver the best trophy to his door.

The Dutch genius was so angry that he originally just complained casually, but Yin Jun's answer made him appear as a narrow-minded villain in front of the world.

………………

After finishing third in the four-nation invitational tournament, Manchester United's warm-up match did not end there. They traveled non-stop from the Netherlands to Denmark to play the final warm-up match against the local Aarhus team in Copenhagen.

Afterwards, Manchester United will leave to return home, because Manchester United's new season games will soon follow. Last season, Manchester United only achieved third place in the Premier League, behind Arsenal and Liverpool. This made them in the Premier League.

In the new season, we must play in the Champions League qualifying rounds.

According to the draw results of the third round of Champions League qualifying announced on July 26, Manchester United's two Champions League qualifying matches will be held on August 14 and 21, while the first round of the Premier League is scheduled to resume on August 17.

In other words, Manchester United will usher in a tight double-match schedule at the beginning of the season. Therefore, after the Four Nations, Manchester United's new season has basically officially begun.

On the evening of August 14th, local time in Europe, the first leg of the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round kicked off. Manchester United traveled to Hungary and their opponent was the Hungarian Zallegsegi team.

Because of his outstanding performance in the warm-up match, Chinese fans believe that Yin Jun should be included in Manchester United's main roster, or at least be included in the team's match squad.

However, while countless Chinese fans are eagerly awaiting Yin Jun's first Champions League game, Yin Jun is not included in the Manchester United squad announced by Manchester United.

Ferdinand, who joined Manchester United with Yin Jun, was also unable to go to Budapest. At the same time, Butters and Gary Neville were also unable to play with the team. However, the latter three were injured, but Yin Jun was not.

Regarding Yin Jun's omission from the squad, when answering reporters' questions, Ferguson gave the explanation that Yin Jun was not ready to participate in official games.

For this game, everyone at Manchester United seemed very relaxed, and they did not even take their opponents seriously. Ferguson also declared that it would be a "complete tragedy" for Manchester United to fail to reach the Champions League group stage. Because the opponent failed.

The Legesegi team has never participated in a European competition before.

Unexpectedly, Manchester United eventually capsized in the gutter and lost 0:1 in the away game. This was one of the most unexpected defeats in the team's history.

Although the Hungarians recovered their defense for most of the time, they gave Manchester United a fatal blow in stoppage time. Szamos drove straight in along the right and passed the ball low to the dangerous area. Substitute Koprarowicz shot from close range.
