Chapter 290 Arsenal Are Catching Up

The goal scored by Ronaldo was a huge blow to Porto's morale. This goal happened in the 87th minute of the game. When the game restarted, it was already the 88th minute of the game.Even with stoppage time, it is only five or six minutes, and there is really not much time left for Porto to change the score.

Ferguson made two substitutions in the ensuing game. First, in the 89th minute of the game, he replaced the starting center Van Nistelrooy with South African international Fortune.Fortune played left back after debut, Phil Neville switched to the right, and Gary Neville formed a three-central back with Van Buyten and O'Shea.

After Manchester United's substitutions, they adopted a defensive counterattack style with five defenders.Porto has already used up three substitutions. At this time, there is no way to make substitutions and adjustments. They are still attacking Manchester United's defense with a [-] formation.

On the pitch, Manchester United defended thoroughly, leaving no room for Porto.

After retreating across the board, Giggs fought back at the front alone. Even Yin Jun and Ronaldo retreated outside their own penalty area to participate in the team's defense.

In front of Manchester United's 541 formation, Porto will have nothing to do with Manchester United's defensive formation for a while.

………………

Immediately, the regular 90 minutes of the game ran out, and the fourth official played a sign for 3 minutes of stoppage time.

At this time, Manchester United made another substitution, and Ferguson replaced Yin Jun with Fletcher.

Amidst the boos of more than 5 fans of the home team at the Dragon Stadium, Yin Jun walked off the stadium calmly.

As an opponent, the boos of the fans of the home team are undoubtedly the greatest compliment to him.After all, it is difficult to ask Porto fans to give him applause.

Hugging Yin Jun on the sidelines and preparing to enter the arena, Fletcher patted Yin Jun on the back with a smile and praised: "You did a great job!"

For this teammate who is one year younger than himself, Fletcher really admires him more and more.Whether it's his efforts or his achievements, Fletcher admires him deeply.

For people of their age, being able to gain a foothold in a giant like Manchester United is already a great success, but Yin Jun is already the absolute core of Manchester United, and even won the Champions League Golden Boot and the European Golden Globe !

This is something Fletcher can't even imagine!
However, even though he is already honored, there is no arrogance or slack in Yin Jun.Yin Jun is very humble to every teammate, even a bench player like him.In addition, he never goes to places like nightclubs, but spends all his free time on extra training. The Carrington training base is where he spends most of his time.

It can be said that Yin Jun's way of improvement is non-stop training, day after day, never slack in training.

In addition, it is said that Yin Jun loves to study very much. He has already received an offer from the University of Manchester and will become a freshman at the University of Manchester in the second half of the year.

Fletcher really couldn't understand this.As a world-class star, with an annual salary of tens of millions of pounds, what else does he go to university for?
………………

Yin Jun didn't know how many thoughts flashed through Fletcher's mind, he just knew that he was exhausted now.

He patted Fletcher on the shoulder and said, "Darren, I'm exhausted, and I'll leave the rest to you. If we keep this score, we must be the ones to advance."

Fletcher nodded heavily, this was his promise to Yin Jun.

Sending the Scottish midfielder to the court, Yin Jun panted and walked towards the coaching bench of the home team. Ferguson walked over, ignored Yin Jun's wet sweat, hugged him vigorously, and said: "Good job! Rest well now, Wait for the game to end!"

Yin Jun nodded and said, "Okay, boss!"

In the 2 minutes after Yin Jun left the field, Porto continued to attack Manchester United's goal unremittingly amidst the cheers and cheers of [-] fans at home, but they couldn't get the third goal in the end.

At 93 minutes and 51 seconds of the game, when Maniche sent the football to the stands with a long shot, the referee finally blew three whistles to end the game.

In the end, Manchester United narrowly beat Porto 3:2 in the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of [-].

So far, the eight first rounds of the UEFA Champions League knockout round of sixteen have come to an end.

The Premier League team undoubtedly became the biggest winner. A day ago, Arsenal also won the Vigo Celta in La Liga with a score of 3:2 in the away game.

While Manchester United and Porto fought fiercely at the Dragon Stadium, former Porto coach Jose Mourinho led Chelsea to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United's rival Stuttgart in the Champions League group stage at the Gartley Dalem Stadium.

Therefore, in this round of the Champions League knockout round, the Premier League team has achieved a record of three victories, becoming the only league in the five major leagues.

In the case of winning away games at the same time, the promotion prospects of the top three in the Premier League suddenly became clear.After all, for their opponents, it is really too difficult to make a comeback at home with these three strong teams.

另外5场比赛，莫斯科火车头在主场2:1力克摩纳哥，拜仁慕尼黑在安联球场和皇家马德里的强强对话则是战成1:1，布拉格斯巴达在主场爆冷0:0逼平AC米兰，皇家社会在主场0:1负于法甲霸主里昂，超级拉科则是在主场1:0击败了老妇人尤文图斯。

………………

Although it was difficult to win the opponent in the away game, Manchester United also paid a big price. Not to mention the generals such as Sylvester who were damaged by the defense, the rest of the players were also caused by this fierce battle. They consume a lot of physical energy.

And Manchester United's next game, just 65 hours after the end of the game, the rest time of the players is obviously insufficient, which makes Ferguson have to play in the last game in February, that is, against the farm. In the 2th round of the Premier League against Fulham, a large-scale rotation was carried out. Many main players, including Howard, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs, were placed on the bench by Ferguson.

At Craven Farm, United were in huge trouble.Although the Red Devils took the lead in the 14th minute of the game, Carroll threw the ball to the left of Ronaldo's Portuguese winger and passed it to Yin Jun in the middle. It was a stalemate and Fulham equalized in the 14rd minute.

Referee Willy then rejected Manchester United's obvious request for a penalty kick. Yin Jun received a direct pass from Forlan to pass Van der Sar, but was tripped by the Dutchman's outstretched hand to catch the ball.

Not only that, the referee Willy, after discussing with the fourth referee Poll, gave a yellow card to Van Nistelrooy who was warming up on the sidelines, which angered the Manchester United team even more.

In the 72nd minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs both came on to strengthen the attack.Four minutes before the end, the Dutchman wasted a golden opportunity. He received a pass from Giggs and shot in front of the goal. His compatriot Van der Sar resolved the crisis.

After a draw, Manchester United was tied in points by Arsenal and only ranked first with a goal difference advantage.
