Chapter 413 A Difficult Winning Streak

In Penang, Malaysia's second largest city, the Chinese team's fourth World Cup qualifier group match did not go well.The Chinese team has not found the feeling. The two sides were in a stalemate in the first half. Although the Chinese team was pressed higher, they have not found a threatening shot. On the contrary, Malaysia almost succeeded in several sneak attacks.

Only 5 minutes into the second half of the game, Zheng Zhi, who had just moved to the Premier League Charlton, received two yellow cards in a row in just 1 minute and was sent off.As a result, the Chinese team had to face the difficult situation of playing one less player in the next 40 minutes.

This red card made the home team see the hope of defeating the Chinese team. Amidst the cheers of the home fans, they launched a fierce attack towards the Chinese team's goal.

However, after winning the Asian Cup, the Chinese team has undergone a transformation.Under the leadership of Yin Jun, the Chinese team quickly stabilized their position and did not give Malaysia any chance.And through a quick counterattack, Yin Jun assisted Li Jinyu to score a goal.

This is the only goal in this game. With this goal, the Chinese team also won the opponent and won 4 consecutive victories in the group stage. They continued to beat Kuwait by 3 points and ranked first in the group points list.

However, Zheng Zhi's yellow card still caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese team, because Zheng Zhi will be suspended for the next national team match against Kuwait, and another central defender of the Chinese team, Li Weifeng, is currently also out. In the midst of injuries, it is still unknown whether he will be able to come back at that time.

If the Chinese team loses to Kuwait in the away game, then the Chinese team's points will be tied, and at most it will continue to occupy the top spot by relying on the advantage of goal difference.This will make the qualifying of the Chinese team face variables again.

………………

Back at the club, Yin Jun immediately ushered in an intensive schedule.

On September 9, Manchester United ushered in the fifth round of the Premier League. Manchester United challenged Bolton away.

In this game, Van Nistelrooy returned, and new aids Heinze, Vidic and Evra all entered the squad.Ruud van Nistelrooy and Heinze started the game, while Vidic and Evra were temporarily on the bench.

Manchester United took the lead in the 34th minute.Yin Jun made a beautiful pass to the right side of the penalty area, but Scholes's shot was blocked by Jas Klein. Yin Jun followed up with a supplementary shot from the edge of the penalty area and scored.

Before half-time, Giggs took a right corner kick, Sylvester headed back and swung back, and Heinze pushed from 6 yards in front of the goal with his left foot to help Manchester United extend their lead to two goals.

However, Bolton pulled one back shortly after the start of the second half.In the 51st minute, Campo quickly took a free kick from the left. Okocha dribbled the ball horizontally from 25 yards and shot from the center. Manchester United's defense in the center had another loophole. Kevin Nolan deflected the Nigerian's shot after successfully countering offside. The ball was blocked before the center of gravity, but the American was no longer able to block Kevin Nolan's header.

Then the field entered a stalemate.

Seeing that the game was about to end, Bolton broke through the city of Manchester United again.Manchester United sent a big gift in the 90th minute. Bolton made a pass from the left and was cleared by Sylvester. Les Ferdinand and Heinze fought for the top. Sylvester poked the ball out, just in time for Les Ferdinand to break the ball and kick it into the empty net with ease.

During stoppage time, Manchester United counterattacked frantically and exceeded the score again at the last moment.Manchester United attacked quickly, and Yin Jun's pass passed through Bolton's defense. After receiving Yin Jun's pass from the right, Ronaldo quickly made a pass from the bottom.Alan Smith's header was blocked by the Bolton goalkeeper, but Berlyon, who came on as Ruud van Nistelrooy came on, managed a close-range shot.

In the end, Manchester United won Bolton with a difficult score of 3:2 and continued to rank third, second only to Arsenal, which had won five consecutive victories, and Chelsea, which had four wins and one tie.

………………

In the middle of the week, the Champions League group stage started, and Manchester United played away in Lyon in Ligue [-].

This is a direct conversation between the two favorites in Group D.

Because the double red meeting will be ushered in next Monday night, Ferguson has a certain amount of energy in this game.Yin Jun did not start the game, but sat on the bench.

Manchester United encountered great difficulties in the first half. The team has been unable to open up the situation offensively, and there are also problems in the defense. They conceded two consecutive goals in the 35th and 45th minutes.

Entering the second half, Manchester United stepped up their offense, while Lyon seemed to be prepared, they stepped up their defense, and the players' interceptions became more aggressive.

However, Manchester United quickly chased two goals in a row and equalized the score.

In the 56th minute, Giggs launched an attack on the right. He passed the ball to Ronaldo with his skillful left foot. The latter passed the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy who had been waiting for a long time. At the opponent's gate, Manchester United chased the score to 1:2.

In the 61st minute, Keane passed the ball to Ronaldo on the right after stealing the ball in midfield. , the score on the field became 2:2.

………………

The game then stalled.Ferguson replaced Djimba with Yin Jun just after 70 minutes of the game.

Sir Alex’s substitution showed his strong desire to score three points, but Yin Jun was blocked by Lyon’s two defensive midfielders, Essien from Ghana and Mohamed Diarra from Mali after his debut. , and did not take any advantage.

In the end, the score of 2:2 was maintained until the end of the game, and both sides scored one point each.

This is a result that neither side wants to see, but it is also a result that both sides can barely end.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Manchester United not having much time to consider this result.Because just five days later, Manchester United will usher in the first double red game of the new season.

Liverpool this season has changed a lot.The first is their number one star, the golden boy Irving moved to Real Madrid in the summer, becoming the seventh superstar of the Galacticos built by Florentino.

The leading star trained by his own youth training left the team, and he left at a very low price (800 million pounds), which made Liverpool fans feel like being sentenced.

Although Irving was lost, Liverpool's signings this summer can be said to be the strongest outside of Chelsea.The first is that Liverpool's coach was replaced by the Spaniard Benitez.Along with that, Benítez bought Spanish midfielder Javi Alonso from La Liga side Real Sociedad, winger Luis Garcia from Barcelona, ​​and French side Auxerre. Gabriel Cisse.These three players alone cost £3100 million!
For a Liverpool team that has changed half of its starting lineup, Manchester United naturally dare not neglect.
