Chapter 227 New Odds

Manchester United lost 2:3 at home to the farmer's feet, which declared that Manchester United's 27-game unbeaten record in the Premier League was ended.The last time the Red Devils lost in the Premier League, it had to be traced back to the 20th round of the Premier League last season. On Boxing Day in 2002, the Red Devils were a guest at the Riverside Stadium, but they were defeated by Middlesbrough 1:3 and suffered a two-game losing streak in the league.

But in the subsequent 18 rounds of the Premier League, the Red Devils achieved a terrifying 15 wins and 3 draws, surpassing Arsenal and winning the 8th Premier League title in team history.

Coupled with the first 9 rounds of this season, Manchester United remained unbeaten with 7 wins and 2 draws, and their unbeaten record in the league was extended to 27 rounds.

而27场不败也是英超历史第2长的不败记录，仅次于红魔自己在1998年12月到1999年10月期间创下的29场不败记录。

It can be seen that the competition in the Premier League is indeed very fierce.Even if they are as strong as the overlord Red Devils Manchester United, they have not been able to exceed 30 unbeaten games.

However, Yin Jun knows that if nothing happens, Arsenal will break Manchester United's unbeaten record this season, and may even extend this record to a terrifying 49 games!
Because in the first round of this season's match between the two sides, Manchester United and Arsenal accounted for 0:0 at home, which makes Arsenal's current unbeaten streak continue to 12 games.

And even if Yin Jun wants to end Arsenal's unbeaten record early, he will have to wait until the 30th round of this season, when Manchester United visits Highbury Stadium.

At that time, Arsenal's unbeaten record had extended to 31 games, surpassing Manchester United's two unbeaten records.

If Manchester United can't end Arsenal's unbeaten record in the second half of the season, it will only have to wait until the two sides meet again next season, which means that Arsenal's unbeaten record has continued to 49 games!
………………

Although Manchester United's unbeaten record has been ended, Yin Jun, who scored 1 goal again in the game, has risen to 8 league goals in the new season. Together with his Manchester United teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arsenal star Henry Lead the Premier League scorer list together.

With the deepening of the schedule, Yin Jun continued to maintain a steady growth in the number of goals, and he and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Henry, the two super shooters at the time, were in the top scorer list of the Premier League. I have to face up to Yin Jun's possibility of winning the Premier League Golden Boot.

After the end of this round of the Premier League, William Hill, the largest gambling company in the UK, once again lowered the odds of Yin Jun winning the league Golden Boot this season, which made Yin Jun become the third player in the Premier League Golden Boot popular.And Ruud van Nistelrooy and Henry at the top of the list, both have odds of 1 to 5!

In addition, the odds of Yin Jun scoring 30 Premier League goals this season have also been greatly reduced to 1 per 41. This shows that although William Hill is still not optimistic about Yin Jun scoring 30 goals this season Premier League goals, but are already really looking at that.

Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy are the most favored players to score 30 league goals this season. Their odds of scoring 30 league goals are 1 to 12, which is much higher than Yin Jun.

Behind the three, even the famous Premier League strikers such as Anelka, Owen, Beatty and Alan Shearer, the odds of scoring 3 league goals in the new season are more than 30 to 1!

………………

The 2:3 loss to Fulham at home had a very significant impact on Manchester United.Back in the locker room after the game, Ferguson's hair dryer was turned on to the maximum power, and the players were sprayed to pieces.

Ferguson not only sprayed Manchester United players in the locker room, but also did not save face for the team when interviewed by the outside media.He said: "We did not recognize this as Manchester United, we had a terrible start and Fulham deserved to win. The whole team was not angry, our goalkeeper was very good, otherwise Maybe five goals to lose. A late equalizer in the first half would have been very beneficial, we should have played and won the game. But when you risk attacking, the defense has holes. It doesn't happen that often, we really It's rarely been this bad."

This game also allowed Ferguson to see the team's shortcomings: there is a big problem with the thickness of the bench!
There have been 10 rounds of the league, and the time is about to enter November, but several of Manchester United's new aids, except Howard's performance is not bad, and the rest of them are a bit disappointing.

Originally, the Portuguese teenager Cristiano Ronaldo, who had high hopes, experienced an amazing start. As the opponents paid more attention to him, he was no longer as brave as he was in the first few games. No one.Compared with Yin Jun's unstoppable performance when he got the chance to play in the team last season, scoring goals one after another, the Portuguese of his age obviously still has a long way to go.

Many British media lamented that Ronaldo can have many, but there is only one Yin Jun in the world!
And new aids such as Berion, Djemba, and Kleberson are even more embarrassing.

This shows that the Red Devils' signings in the summer were not successful. After losing Beckham, Veron and others in the new season, the strength of the Red Devils has not been supplemented, but is in a state of decline.With the deepening of the season and the increase of injuries and suspensions, the huge hole left by the summer transfer will sooner or later form a fatal drag at the critical moment of the league or the Champions League.

………………

There was no time for the United men to lick their wounds, as their next game came one after another.

In the middle of the week, Manchester United visited Elland Road Stadium for the second time in 10 days to challenge the White Rose Leeds United.This is the third round of the League Cup this season.

Ferguson, who is still in suspension, can only watch the game from the stands, but he will be free after the game.

For a tasteless match like the League Cup, Ferguson used a lot of substitute players. Compared with the lineup that defeated Leeds United 10 days ago, he replaced 7 players. Even so, Leeds United did not have a single shot in the first half.

But 2 minutes into the second half, Johnson's volley was saved by Carroll, and Smith, who coincided with his 23rd birthday, made a supplementary shot into the net, but was sentenced to offside first.After a brief disappointment, the Leeds United fans cheered again.

In the 49th minute, defender Hart took a corner kick and Roque Junior headed into the net with a powerful head in the small penalty area.After being ridiculed and criticized for his poor performance in the defense after he joined Leeds United on loan from AC Milan, he refused to celebrate the goal. He pushed away the swarming team-mates and just raised his arm.

Manchester United, which fell behind, stepped up their offense.But it was not until the 78th minute that Berlyon responded to Djemba's direct pass and scored the ball from Robinson's crotch. This was the first time Berlyon made contributions to Manchester United in an official game.

However, Leeds United believed that Berlyon had been offside when he shot, but the referee insisted on his penalty.

The game was tied 1:1 in regular time, and the game entered overtime.In overtime, Forlan and Djemba scored 1 goal each, helping Manchester United beat their opponents 3:2 and advance to the fourth round of the League Cup.
