Chapter 209
After winning the European Super Cup, Yin Jun did not return to Manchester with the team. Instead, he went from Monaco to Nice, France, took a plane at the French Riviera Airport, and transferred to Paris to Miami in the United States to join the national team that had already gone to the other side of the ocean. , to participate in the United States training during this national team game day.

When Yin Jun arrived in the United States, it was already the evening of August 8th, Eastern Time in the United States. On the afternoon of the second day, the national team will usher in the first game of this training at the La Carte Stadium in Miami, against Haiti A friendly match for the national team.

Since the Chinese team played relatively few games in 2003 and their records were average, in the latest world rankings, the Chinese team's ranking has dropped dramatically, falling to No. 72 in the world. It looks like the No. 85 team The Haiti team is evenly matched.

Since he had just reunited with the national team, even the time difference had just reversed, and he hadn't practiced together once, so Alihan didn't plan to send Yin Jun to play in this game.

Without Yin Jun, the core player of the Chinese team, the strength of Haiti is indeed similar.Especially under the fierce pressing of the Haitian team, the Chinese team played a bit restrained and did not have an advantage at all.

However, in the first half of the game, the Chinese team led the opponent 3:2 with Li Jinyu's brace and Xiao Zhanbo's penalty despite conceding a goal first.However, the Chinese team paid a heavy price for this one-goal advantage. The main defender Xu Yunlong was injured by a shovel behind his opponent and left the field, and Li Jinyu was also injured.

………………

In the second half of the game, in the face of Haiti's fierce game style, the Chinese team's performance on the field became more and more unbearable.First a penalty kick was sent, and then in the 76th minute of the game, there was a major problem in the defense and the opponent counterattacked successfully.

3:4, the Chinese team is behind!
Under such circumstances, Yin Jun couldn't stand it anymore on the bench, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to play.Although Alihan was a little worried about Yin Jun's physical fitness, he didn't want to lose the game, so he made Yin Jun come off the bench in the 80th minute of the game.

Soon, the Haitians saw the strength of UEFA's best midfielder and most valuable player of the year, as well as the true strength of the Chinese team with Yin Jun.

Yin Jun, who came off the bench, took over the banner of the Chinese team's offense.He first made a pass from the left, Li Jinyu headed the ball and assisted Xiao Zhanbo to score, and then Yin Jun made a pass from the left, Li Jinyu volleyed from 19 meters in front of the goal and scored a hat trick. The Chinese team reversed the situation with a score of 5:4.

However, at the end of the game, the Chinese team suffered heavy losses. Li Jinyu, who had just performed a hat-trick, was maliciously shoved to the ground by Haitian players. After emergency treatment, he could not continue the game and was carried off the field on a stretcher.

Although the Chinese team finally won the game with a score of 5:4, the players were not happy at all.Except for Xu Yunlong who was injured and left the field in the first half, Li Jinyu who was injured later was even more serious.He was diagnosed with a cruciate ligament strain and was sent back to China for treatment urgently. He will face a severe situation where he will not be able to play football for at least half a year.

As the top scorer of A-A last season, Li Jinyu is the number one striker of Ali Han's newly formed Chinese team after the World Cup.His absence is a very serious loss to the Chinese team.

………………

This game makes people feel disturbed, but what makes people feel even more disturbed is the football association's schedule for the national team training.

After the game against Haiti, the Chinese team will fly 800 more than [-] kilometers across the entire United States from the southeastern corner of the United States to Los Angeles in the southwest of the United States to play a friendly match against the Los Angeles Galaxy of the professional league.

For the Chinese, it is nothing to fly thousands of kilometers, and it is common to play in the domestic league.But what makes people speechless is that after the game against Los Angeles Galaxy, everyone has to go back the same way and continue to play a friendly match against Costa Rica in Miami.Then, fly [-] kilometers from Miami to New York in the northeastern United States to play a game.

It feels like during these ten days, everyone is flying around non-stop.

On the evening of September 9, western time in the United States, the Home Depot Center Stadium, where the Women's World Cup will be held two weeks later, ushered in a grand ceremony.

Because of Manchester United's huge influence in the United States and Yin Jun's outstanding performance last season, he has a lot of fame in the United States and has won many fans.Therefore, this originally very ordinary friendly match, unexpectedly many fans attended to watch it.Among them were players from the Los Angeles Lakers, NBA stars including O'Neal and Kobe, all appeared in the stands.

However, this game was a bit dull.Facing the all-round defense of the Los Angeles Galaxy, coupled with the fact that he has been flying by plane for tens of thousands of kilometers in the past week, Yin Jun was not too excited on the court.

It was not until the second half of the game that Yin Jun's state gradually improved, and the game fell into the control of the Chinese team.

………………

Under Yin Jun's control, the Chinese team's offense and defense became more orderly, less flustered, and organized and planned several extremely threatening attacks.

In the 5 minutes of the game, Yin Jun got a great opportunity by interspersing and running in the middle, kicked a strong shot, and almost pierced the goal of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

After 3 minutes, the Chinese team made a cross from the left, and Yin Jun got another chance, kicking and hitting the goal wide.

Then Yin Jun sent an excellent pass and gave Xiao Zhanbo a close-range shot.It's a pity that Xiao Zhanbo was unlucky and was caught by the opponent's goalkeeper.

As time went by bit by bit, the Chinese team's offensive became more and more fierce, but it was still a short distance from the goal.

Ali Han finally used the third substitution quota at No. 80 two minutes.

In this substitution adjustment, Yin Jun appeared in the position of right midfielder.And Yin Jun, who was pulling the side, also showed different abilities before. The first time he touched the ball, he formed a strong breakthrough from the right, but was cleared by the Los Angeles Galaxy central defender when it passed into the penalty area.

But only 3 minutes later, after receiving a pass from Sun Jihai on the right, Yin Jun suddenly activated and cut inside with the ball.

Yang Chen understood, and retreated from the front, seeming to come to meet Yin Jun, but in fact he pulled out the opponent's central defender.

Yin Jun made a diagonal pass with his right foot behind him, Shao Jiayi quickly slanted into the penalty area, stopped the ball, and shot, all in one go, the football hit the net!

1: 0!

In No.806 minutes, Yin Jun assisted Shao Jiayi and scored the winning goal. The Chinese team also ushered in the two consecutive victories in the US training session, and a smile appeared on Alihan's face.
