Chapter 270 Goal Shortage?What it is? !

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that the media hype that Yin Jun scored three consecutive rounds is for disgusting people, it doesn't explain anything at all.

Even if you study these media deeply, you can find that these media have a poor relationship with Manchester United. Their purpose of hyping the "scoring shortage" of Manchester United's leading star is obviously not pure.

In fact, some spinach institutions can also be seen in this.

Yin Jun has scored 22 goals in the league. With his unstoppable scoring trend in the early stage, it is already a high probability to score 30 Premier League goals this season.

Once Yin Jun scores 30 league goals, the losses of these gambling organizations will be too great.They naturally had to make some mistakes to stop Yin Jun.

Most of Yin Jun's overseas fans didn't take this so-called goal shortage seriously, but many domestic fans began to think about it.After all, the situation of not scoring a goal in three consecutive league rounds has indeed never happened to Yin Jun this season.

These people are thinking, is it because Yin Jun is too tired to fight in the national team and the club during the New Year, so he is in a sluggish state?
Will Ferguson lose confidence in Yin Jun because of this?
………………

Amid all the commotion, Manchester United's next game has arrived.

On February 2003, 2, the Red Devils played against Middlesbrough at home, which was the 11th round of the match.

What reassures those domestic fans who are worried about Yin Jun losing Ferguson's trust is that Yin Jun was not only selected for the big list in this game, but also selected for the starting list without any suspense.

At the pre-match press conference, Ferguson answered questions from Chinese reporters: "There is no problem with Yin Jun's state. In the past three games, he did not score a goal, but he sent four times to his teammates. Assists... Yin Jun is still an important member of the team, as long as he is not injured, I will let him play."

Ferguson's answer can be regarded as a reassurance for those who like to think wildly.

But if you really want them to put their hearts back in their stomachs, it still depends on Yin Jun's performance in the game.

It is indeed normal to not score in three consecutive rounds, and it is not a big deal.But if there are more consecutive games without scoring, then maybe the situation predicted by those nonsense British media will really come true...

………………

This round of the Premier League game is a double match a week, and Manchester United's game time is on Wednesday night local time.

Because Arsenal had won Southampton 2-0 at home a day earlier, which made the Gunners only 1 point behind Manchester United in the standings.If Manchester United lose this game, the situation will become tense.

Therefore, in this game, Manchester United cannot afford to lose.

The game was very fierce, and of course Manchester United, who were playing at home, attacked violently from the beginning of the game.Middlesbrough couldn't defend, trying every means to prevent Manchester United from attacking.It was even a bit "tragic".It is often possible to see scenes of people turning their backs on their backs on the court.

Middlesbrough pulled out all the stops to stop United from scoring, and it cost them nothing.Half an hour has passed since the start of the game. Middlesbrough has two players who have received yellow cards, and many players have been verbally warned by the referee.The game was thus cut into fragments.

The players of the two teams fought each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was "fighting".Although the game was not good-looking, the effect was definitely good-so far, Manchester United still failed to score at home, and the score was still 0:0.

"Cenden fouled Hu Yinjun again, this time the referee Durkin still did not show a yellow card, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Manchester United fans, listen to the boos in the stands!"

After John Mortensen finished speaking, he shut his mouth and let the huge boos of the scene be transmitted to the audience in front of the TV through the TV broadcast signal.It can be clearly heard that the entire Old Trafford stadium is now booed.

But in fact, the referee's penalty scale is not a big problem. The Premier League is known for its fierce physical confrontation.Secondly, the experienced Cenden also pays attention to the scale of action when fouling, and there is no particularly violent foul. Sometimes he just pulls and pushes hard, and his attitude is still correct after the foul, so until now the referee No cards were given to him either.

Besides, Middlesbrough's fouls were not all concentrated on Zendenye alone, and Zenden did not foul Yin Jun consecutively in a short period of time, so the referee Durkin did not give a card, but only verbally warned Zenden , Later Cenden also very cooperatively raised his hand and nodded to express his obedience.

………………

Cristiano Ronaldo rushed left and right on the left, and his jersey was already stained with a lot of grass clippings and the color of mud.It was obvious that he was also being taken care of by the Middlesbrough defenders during the game.

Middlesbrough obviously came prepared this time, and made targeted deployments against several of Manchester United's main attacking players from the very beginning of the game.

For Ronaldo, it is natural to take strict precautions against him, compress his space for holding the ball, and try not to allow him to increase his speed.Foul when it should be fouled, you are absolutely welcome - he contributed to Middlesbrough's two yellow cards.

Although the opponent's two players were dyed yellow, he himself was also made impetuous by this almost brutal defense and did not perform well.

Still, when he got the ball wide, he waded the ball into the box after a feint, cut inside!
In the penalty area, Middlesbrough right-back Danny Mills stretched out his foot to poke the ball away, but Ronaldo took the lead and slammed the football to the bottom line, so he missed the ball!

Immediately afterwards, Ronaldo next to him heard a scream, and fell forward to the ground.

Mills quickly raised his hands and turned to look at the referee.

The whistle sounded, but the referee's hand did not point to the penalty spot.Mills was relieved - at least it was definitely not a penalty!
Since it's not a penalty kick, it's very simple...

"He flopped!" Mills yelled, pointing at Ronaldo who fell beside him.

………………

Sure enough, the referee ran over and hooked Ronaldo who was lying on the ground to get up. At the same time, he took out the yellow card from his breast pocket and held it in front of Ronaldo.

John Mortensen said with some surprise: "Ah, the referee showed Ronaldo a yellow card because he dived..."

There were boos from the stands at Old Trafford.

Of course, the boos were not for Ronaldo, but for the referee Durkin who made the penalty.Manchester United fans think that Mills kicked Ronaldo down, so this ball should be given a penalty.

Even if you don't give a penalty, you won't give Ronaldo a yellow card!

In high-speed sports, a slight physical contact is likely to cause the player to lose his balance, and it is normal to fall.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was shown a yellow card, got up from the ground in shock, and continued to explain to the referee: "He really kicked me, I swear, he really..."

"C Ronaldo seems to be aggrieved, but judging from the slow-motion replay. Mills did not touch him..." John Mortenson said mercilessly, "C Ronaldo is a player with very good skills at his feet , so he will always be taken care of by the defensive players. But I still have to say, don't fall easily in the penalty area, young man, your skills should not be used for this!"

………………

It is very clear in the slow-motion replay that Mills seemed to have predicted what Ronaldo would do, so he did not complete the movement of stretching out his foot to poke the ball, and obviously retracted his foot.

On the other hand, Ronaldo had an obvious movement of stretching his legs forward to find Mills' feet, but because Mills retracted his feet in time, he failed to touch the opponent and fell to the ground.

To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing to watch the slow-motion replay, because Ronaldo obviously flopped and cheated for a penalty.

Ronaldo didn't seem to know this, and wanted to chase the referee to protest. He was very wronged, and there was a trace of anger in his grievance, as if he was very dissatisfied with the referee's misunderstanding.

But he was stopped by Yin Jun, Yin Jun covered his mouth and whispered in Ronaldo's ear: "Okay, Chris, your fall is too fake. No one touched you, but you took the initiative He leaned up and fell down, and the referee was not blind."

"Is it really fake, Yin?" Ronaldo asked with a frown.

"Very, very, very fake!" Yin Jun used three extremes in a row to strengthen his tone, "So don't go to the referee, be careful that he is offended by you, and give you a yellow card, then you can Go back to the locker room to take a shower early."

Hearing what Yin Jun said, Ronaldo immediately calmed down. He didn't want to be sent off.

………………

The game continued, Ronaldo's failure to cheat a penalty kick was just an episode of the game.

In the fast-paced game, half an hour passed quickly, and the game entered a stalemate. Manchester United did not suppress Middlesbrough again, and the visiting team also played some offensives.

In the 34th minute, Kudru's lucky shot from 25 yards from the left was blocked by goalkeeper Howard. The ball hit the crossbar and rebounded.

This result made Old Trafford fall into silence for a short time, and Manchester United fans were a little confused.The home team has an overall advantage, the offensive is like a wave, but they haven't scored a goal, but the visiting team scored a goal after an attack that didn't look like a good opportunity. Who can ask for reason?
The two Manchester United central defenders have no small responsibility for this goal.The main reason is that Van Buyten, who joined the team not long ago, and his partner Wes Brown did not have a tacit understanding, which led to a big gap between the two.

But in general, Wes Brown is more responsible, because he was standing not far behind Juninho at that time, and the gap in consciousness prevented him from starting to defend the goal at the same time.

In fact, Manchester United conceded 5 goals in the previous two games, which has a lot to do with Wes Brown, but has little to do with the newly joined Van Buyten.

………………

The morale of Middlesbrough, who unexpectedly scored a goal, was soaring. They wanted to take advantage of the frustrated morale of Manchester United to continue to expand their lead.

"Middlesbrough went forward, but their forward pass was blocked by Keane, now it's Manchester United's turn to fight back!"

Accompanied by the cheers that suddenly increased at Old Trafford, Keane, who successfully intercepted the ball, kicked the football to the right and gave it to Gary Neville.

With his back to the attacking direction, Neville returned the football directly to Scholes who came up to respond.

Scholes looked up before receiving the ball and saw a huge gap on the left flank, so he didn't stop the ball and swiped a pass against the ball passed by Gary Neville.

The football was drawn by Scholes and flew close to the ground, and rushed to the space on the left at an extremely fast speed.There, Ronaldo has already moved forward at high speed and ran into the space. If the power of Scholes's pass was weak, Ronaldo might have passed, but it is just right now!

John Mortensen chanted: "Chance for United!"

Ronaldo raised his left foot on the sideline, stopped the football, and made a strong move forward, like a gust of wind passing by Middlesbrough right-back Mills.

The former Leeds United defender reached out to block him. This time he really wanted to foul Ronaldo, but Ronaldo didn't give him this chance. He used his absolute speed advantage to directly crush Mills!
After rushing past Mills, Ronaldo caught up with the football, and directly threw the football diagonally into the penalty area.

After drawing Middlesbrough's defense to rush towards him, he pushed the ball sideways with his left foot, and the ball was passed into the center.

………………

Middlesbrough centre-back Southgate steps towards the football, intending to clear the ball.At this time, he couldn't care less about observing the surrounding situation, because he didn't have that time!
And it doesn't matter what the surroundings are like, as long as he can kick the football out, it will be considered as a successful defense...

But just as he stretched his feet towards the football, a leg suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then he watched helplessly as that leg kicked the football first!
"Yin Jun!!!!!!" John Mortensen exclaimed.

Yin Jun's ghostly blow not only made Southgate unable to react, but also surprised Middlesbrough's goalkeeper Schwarzer. Regarding the shot that was so close at hand, his subconscious movements were still half a beat slow. The football flew into the goal before him!

With the occurrence of this goal, the so-called "scoring drought" of not scoring in three consecutive league rounds that was hyped up by some British media during this period has been broken!
"GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!" John Mortensen yelled, "Smart movement, decisive shot! Yin Jun finished the shot before Southgate! Beautiful! Manchester United only took 3 minutes It equalized the score!"

When Yin Jun kicked the football, Southgate's feet hadn't arrived yet.When Southgate's foot arrived, the football had already flown into the goal, and he kicked empty!

With a tilt of his body, Southgate sat down on the goal area line, turned his head and looked at the ball again, and it had already flown into the team's goal.Goalkeeper Schwarzer rolled on the ground, rolled up grass clippings, and fell lonely.

Southgate turned his head to look at Yin Jun again, and found that the kid had already rushed to the corner flag area.

Huge cheers erupted from Old Trafford.

At this moment, Southgate lost his mind and sat on the ground without getting up.

Beside him, the goalkeeper Schwarzer has turned over from the ground and stood up, kicked the football in the goal forcefully, and then cursed a word.
