Chapter 603 Advance to Manchester United!
Chapter 603 Going forward to Manchester United!
When players from both sides walked out of the stadium one after another under the leadership of referee Mike Riley, Yin Jun was at the forefront as Manchester United captain. This change quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans on the scene.
"Manchester United seems to have changed. We can see that after Roy Keane left Manchester United, Fletcher and Alan Smith started together, which is not unexpected, but in the order of appearances in this game, Yin Jun was at the forefront of the team. Manchester United's captain's armband was also worn on Yin Jun."
"Obviously, after Roy Keane left the team, Manchester United arranged Yin Jun as the captain of the team."
"This is not the first time Yin Jun has worn Manchester United's captain's armband this season, but today he wears Manchester United captain's armband again, which represents a completely different meaning."
"Before Roy Keane left the team, other players wore captains to play, but because Keane was not present, others wore captains to participate in the game as Manchester United's captain. But after Roy Keane left the team, Yin Jun wore the captains to play again, which is likely to mean that Yin Jun has become the new official captain of Manchester United!"
"This young player who will only turn 21 in February next year will become the youngest captain in the Premier League this season. I wonder if he can take on this burden, and we are all looking forward to Manchester United's performance tonight."
……………………
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yin Jun came to the referee on the sidelines.
Charlton's captain is their midfielder Matthew Holland, a 31-year-old midfielder from West Ham United Youth Army, has been joining Charlton for two seasons. He has comprehensive skills, can attack and defend, and was once the soul of Ipswich. In July 2003, he transferred from Ipswich to Charlton Athletics for £750,000 and soon became Charlton's captain.
The Irish midfielder was obviously surprised when he saw Yin Jun, but he still greeted Yin Jun with a smile.
Referee Mike Riley reiterated his requirements for the game, hoping that it would be a smooth and fair game.
Then when guessing the side, Yin Jun got the right to serve, which was also a strategy that Manchester United had formulated early on.
Afterwards, after exchanging team flags with Holland, Yin Jun shook hands with the referee team one after another, and then returned to his own half. After the whole process, Yin Jun was familiar with the way because he had long become the captain of the Chinese team and had worn Manchester United's captain's armband several times before.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United pushed forward with a huge attack under Yin Jun.
With the advantages of the two powerful forwards, Fanny and Rooney, and the overall midfield and frontcourt pressure, Charlton was quickly overwhelmed.
In the twelfth minute of the game, Yin Jun received a pass from Oshei on the right and suddenly threw away the defensive player, cut inside to the front of the penalty area, and passed it horizontally to Fanny. The king of the small penalty area directly pushed the ball with his right foot and sent the ball into Charlton's goal.
After scoring the goal, Fanny was so excited that he hugged Yin Jun. This was his 10th league goal this season, and that feeling was great.
Yin Jun was also very happy and celebrated with him. He was also happy to see Fanny score a goal, but at the same time he was more eager to score his own goal.
……………………
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, there was a burst of warm cheers from the audience.
The scoreboard shows the final scores of both sides in the first half, 0:2.
International practice: the home team is in front and the visiting team is in back.
Shortly after the opening, Yin Jun assisted Van Nicht to score, Manchester United chased Charlton and attacked fiercely. With the support of the fans on the scene, the home team was extremely tenacious and did not give Manchester United much chance. Only in the 37th minute, Alan Smith scored a goal, expanding the score to 0:2.
Yin Jun got several opportunities in the first half, but none of them were very good. He was still a little short of the goal. This made him look helpless when he walked off the court and saw Fanny and others.
He has really tried his best, but he is still a little bit worse from the goal, so he is quite helpless about this. Can he blame Charlton's players for not cooperating with him?
"It's okay, take it slowly, there's still a second half." Fanny comforted Yin Jun.
"Yes, sometimes the more anxious you are, the harder you are to score." Ronaldo also advised.
Today is Yin Jun's first game since he became the official captain of Manchester United. His teammates also hope to help him score goals, at least not leave any regrets, but Charlton's defense against him is indeed too strict. Especially Zheng Zhi, who served as Charlton's midfielder in this game, was sticking to his national teammates like a candy, which made Yin Jun feel a headache.
Yin Jun patted the shoulders of the two teammates on the left and right, shook his head, and walked out with a wry smile.
……………………
After the second half of the game, Manchester United continued to launch a fierce attack on Charlton. The high-level pressing and compression tactics are becoming more and more skillful and the effect is getting better and better.
Yin Jun is still running since the beginning, and while constantly planning the heavy responsibility of Manchester United's offensive organization, he is also patiently looking for opportunities.
Facing a player like him and using such a style of play, it is difficult for Charlton to completely limit him.
In the 65th minute, when Evra dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area in the frontcourt, she faced the tight defense of two defensive players of Charlton, which made it difficult for the French left-back to make progress.
Yin Jun quickly ran to the gap and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Evra's ball came to Yin Jun's feet. Knowing that there was no defensive player beside him, Yin Jun stopped and turned around, dribbled the ball and penetrated the penalty area diagonally.
Rooney chose to run diagonally from the middle of the penalty area to the right side of the penalty area, just to open the defensive player in the middle for Yin Jun. But Charlton was obviously more concerned about Yin Jun, and two defensive players stood firmly at the front of the penalty area.
There was an interception in front and a pursuer behind. Yin Jun instantly chose to send the ball to the right side of the penalty area.
Rooney rushed over and stopped the ball. After Charlton's defensive players could not care about Yin Jun and all rushed towards Rooney. With the position of the fat guy, anyone who received the ball could turn around and shoot directly.
Rooney was obviously very clear about Charlton's defensive player's intentions. After blocking the defender with his body, he protected the ball and then passed it back to the top of the arc.
At this time, Yin Jun had run out of space again. After stopping the ball, he chased into the penalty area with no one defending.
Charlton's goalkeeper Anderson decisively abandoned the goal, but when he was halfway through, Yin Jun had already pushed the ball and successfully sent the ball into the empty goal.
3:0!
Chapter completed!
