Chapter 661 Dawn is Coming!
Chapter 661 Dawn is coming!
On Thursday night, April 13, the 34th round of the Premier League will be the first match, with the Red Devils Manchester United at home, facing deputy squad leader Sunderland.
The next half month will be the most intense time for Manchester United this season and may also determine the final result of Manchester United this season.
On the afternoon of April 16, Manchester United visited White Hart Lane Stadium to challenge Tottenham, which is currently ranked fourth in the Premier League standings.
On the evening of April 19, Manchester United will face Villarreal at Old Trafford Stadium, which is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
On the afternoon of April 22, Manchester United continued to face Chelsea at Old Trafford Stadium, which was the FA Cup semi-final game this season. Old Trafford Stadium was not Manchester United's home court at that moment, but as a neutral stadium. Because Wembley Stadium is still in the reconstruction period, Old Trafford Stadium will also undertake some games that originally belonged to Wembley Stadium, and not all the games will be moved to Cardiff Millennium Stadium.
On the evening of April 25, Manchester United will fly to Villarreal, Spain to challenge the yellow submarine at the Love Song Stadium to compete for tickets to the Champions League final.
At noon on April 29, Manchester United, who had just returned to the UK, was going to Stamford Bridge Stadium as a visit again. That was the 37th round of the Premier League this season, and it was also likely to be the Battle of Tianwangshan, which decided to belong to the Premier League champion.
On the evening of May 1, Manchester United took over Old Trafford Stadium to face the miserable Middlesbrough of this season. This is the 36th round of the Premier League, and this game was postponed due to the FA Cup semi-finals against Chelsea.
18 days, 7 games, and every game is key, this is the ultimate devil schedule!
For Manchester United, this could be both the 18 days that ruined the entire season or the last darkness before dawn.
……………………
Because the next schedule is too intensive and critical, and it is difficult for Ferguson to make a choice, he decided to use rotation to survive this difficult time.
Fortunately, during this period, Manchester United's wounded members returned to the team. Although the game condition is difficult to guarantee, at least it makes Ferguson no longer bothered by the tension of manpower.
Injuries like Heinze, Solskjaer, Scholes have been on the injury list. Even if Ferguson wants to rotate, he doesn't have enough staff.
In this game against Sunderland, Ferguson let Rooney, Fanny, Giggs in the forward line, Ferdinand, Vidic and others on the defense line all sit on the bench. Heinze, Solskjaer, who returned from injury, gets the starter, and Rossi, Richardson and others also get opportunities.
Currently, Sunderland has played 32 rounds of the Premier League and has only scored 11 points, 18 points behind Birmingham City and Portsmouth, who are ranked 18th and 17th, and 17th, and 17th. There is only the final theoretical hope: that is, the Black Cats will win all the last six league games, and at the same time, Birmingham City, Portsmouth and West Brom will lose all of them, so they can successfully relegate.
Once these three teams get 1 point in the subsequent games, Sunderland's hope of relegation will be shattered.
Although they have basically been relegated, Sunderland does not want to give up on himself and take the initiative to give up the subsequent game. They want to stay in the last moment of the Premier League, fight for the fans who support them and fight for their own dignity.
At Old Trafford Stadium, Sunderland also played very tenaciously, which made Manchester United, whose substitute lineup, not have any advantage in the field.
……………………
Many players have returned with long-term injuries, and there are some marginal players who rarely play games. Yin Jun and their tacit understanding have a big problem, which has led to Yin Jun's struggle in the midfield.
In the end, the two sides exchanged blank sheets in the first half.
After the second half began, Manchester United gradually gained an advantage on the field.
With the exhaustion of physical fitness, Sunderland's defensive players could no longer follow Yin Jun like in the first half, which also allowed Yin Jun to gain more space for activity, perform more actively, and frequently create threats.
But unfortunately, for various reasons, Manchester United strikers Solskjaer and Rossi failed to seize the opportunity.
When the game reached the 61st minute, Yin Jun once again pulled to the right to catch the ball.
Osheim's pass was accurately delivered to Yin Jun's feet. While stopping the ball, he turned around and cut in. Yin Jun gently pushed his left foot and passed to Richardson's feet in the middle.
Just the moment Richardson received the ball, Yin Jun, who was originally running horizontally from the right side, suddenly changed direction and quickly penetrated Sunderland's penalty area.
The Sunderland defensive player was shocked and immediately followed, but Yin Jun was obviously faster than him, so he left him behind.
Richardson's straight pass also arrived just right. Yin Jun quickly broke through Sunderland's defense line like a sharp arrow, penetrated straight into the penalty area, and caught up with the ball.
Sunderland goalkeeper Kevin Davis decisively abandoned the goal and attacked, while Collins in the middle blocked Solskjaer behind him.
The moment Yin Jun caught up with the ball, he directly pushed the ball with his right foot.
Davis' reaction was extremely fast, but he was still a beat slower. The football passed by the bottom left of his body and quickly crashed into the goal behind him.
1:0!
……………………
“GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!”
"This is Yin Jun's 33rd Premier League goal this season, and he broke the record of 32 goals in a single season set two years ago!"
Yin Jun was very excited after scoring the goal, and rushed out of the stadium quickly, leaving behind all the entanglements of Manchester United teammates, rushed directly to the corner flagpole, and slid down and looked up at the crowded stands.
Manchester United players rushed over and hugged Yin Jun.
And Old Trafford Stadium was completely ignited.
Before this, Manchester United's performance was not satisfactory, which made the fans feel a little unhappy. However, all the negative emotions were shattered by Yin Jun's goal.
At this moment, the fans just want to vent their joy in their hearts!
In the end, Manchester United defeated Sunderland 1:0 with Yin Jun's only goal in this game. After winning this game, Manchester United's league points this season have reached 92 points, which tied their highest single-season points in Premier League history: 12 years ago in the 1993-1994 season, Manchester United achieved a record of 27 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses, and won 92 points.
However, there were still 22 teams in the Premier League at that time, and the schedule was as high as 42 games.
But this is still not the highest points in the Premier League in a single season. Just last season, Mourinho's Chelsea scored 93 points in 38 rounds of the Premier League, setting a record for single season points in the Premier League.
From the current point of view, it is probably difficult for Chelsea to continue to maintain this record, because as long as Manchester United wins another victory, this record can be broken.
