Yin Jun and Ye Lanqiu had to separate again after spending a short three-day vacation in Sardinia.Yin Jun is going back to Manchester to participate in the team's training to prepare for the upcoming Christmas Devil's schedule.Ye Lanqiu flew to Xiangjiang to join the crew to prepare for filming.

The Christmas Devil schedule is a repertoire of the Premier League. When other major leagues enter the winter break, the Premier League teams will usher in the most intensive period of the year.Basically, each team will have about 1 games from Boxing Day to January 4 of the following year, and there will be a game almost every two days.

2002-2003赛季的圣诞魔鬼赛程，从12月26日到1月4日，曼联一共踢了3场英超联赛和1场足总杯比赛。

2003-2004赛季的圣诞魔鬼赛程，曼联算是难得的获得了一个相对宽松的赛程，从12月26日到1月4日，曼联只踢了2场英超联赛和1场足总杯的比赛。

2004-2005赛季的圣诞魔鬼赛程, 曼联的赛程是真正的魔鬼, 因为他们在12月26日到1月4日之间, 足足踢了4轮英超比赛！
If there is an FA Cup game, Manchester United can also carry out a large-scale rotation. After all, most of the opponents in the third round of the FA Cup are teams from low-level leagues, or even amateur teams. The lineup has a great possibility of winning.But if they are all in the league, it will be difficult for Manchester United to carry out a large-scale rotation.Because if you are not careful, you will lose and be surpassed by your competitors.

………………

This season, Manchester United's Christmas Devil schedule is the most difficult ever.Because the Red Devils had to play 12 Premier League games in just 26 days from the afternoon of December 1th to the evening of January 3rd!
And each of these 4 opponents is more difficult than the other!
At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 12, Manchester United will face West Brom at Old Trafford.The bloomers are currently ranked 26th in the league, only 17 point higher than the relegation zone, and the pressure to relegation is very high.

Everyone knows that relegation teams in the Premier League are very difficult to play.In order to stay in the Premier League, they can fight any opponent with their lives!
At 12:28 pm on December 19th, the 18th round of the Premier League kicked off, and Manchester United was a guest at Birmingham.And Birmingham is currently ranked [-]th, another relegation team!

At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 12st, in the 31th round of the Premier League, Manchester United returned to home again to face Bolton.After playing against two relegation teams in a row, Manchester United's opponent was replaced by the fourth team in the league.

At 1 pm on January 3, the final match of the Christmas Devils schedule, Manchester United will be a guest at Highbury Stadium to challenge Arsenal.Although the Gunners have a poor record this season, as Manchester United's strongest opponent in the Premier League era, their strength is beyond doubt.Especially recently, Arsenal's head star Henry's state has gradually recovered, and Arsenal's record has also improved.

Arsenal at this time is very dangerous!

4 games, two relegation teams, two teams competing for the Champions League seat, Manchester United's Christmas devil schedule, death quality can be said to be full!

………………

As an "old man" who has played in the Premier League for three and a half years, Yin Jun has adapted to the devil's schedule in the Premier League.In particular, he doesn't pay much attention to Christmas, and he doesn't have to celebrate with his relatives and friends at this time, so he can devote himself to the preparation for the game.

Yin Jun, who spent Christmas at the Carrington Training Base, can finally play in his best form on Boxing Day.

Since Chelsea's current game is two hours earlier than Manchester United, when the Manchester United set foot on the turf of the Old Trafford stadium, the Stamford Bridge game has already had a result.After a bitter battle, Mourinho's team defeated the farmer Fulham with a score of 3:2, and the points rose to 49 points, widening the difference with Manchester United to 5 points!
At the same time, this is also the highest score in the first 18 rounds in the history of the Premier League, which is 18 points higher than Manchester United's record of 47 points in the first 2 rounds created last season!
In the first 18 rounds, they only lost 5 points and averaged 2.72 points per game. The Blues' ability to grab points can be said to break through the sky!
Under such circumstances, Manchester United, who will play next, is facing tremendous pressure.

………………

Although it has entered the Christmas Devils schedule, Ferguson has no intention of staying strong and continues to send the strongest lineup to play.

As a relegation team, West Brom must be far inferior to Manchester United. Although their desire to survive is very strong, they are still firmly suppressed in the face of the full lineup of Manchester United.

Manchester United took the lead in the 35th minute. Ferdinand dribbled the ball into the penalty area and made a cross from the right. Yin Jun returned a pass. Scholes shot from 16 yards in the middle with his left foot into the bottom right corner of the net.

Manchester United expanded the score in the 3rd minute of stoppage time. Manchester United won a corner kick. Yin Jun took the corner kick and entered the penalty area. Ferdinand shook his head from 12 yards and scored into the far corner. The score became 2:0.

Manchester United sealed the victory in the 62nd minute. Yin Jun made a cross from the right, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a powerful header from 8 yards in front of the center. This was his 14th league goal this season.

And Yin Jun staged a hat-trick of assists, raising his league assists this season to 12.

Manchester United still had the opportunity to continue to expand the score. In the 65th minute, Yin Jun broke into the penalty area with the ball and was blocked.

Subsequently, Ferguson began to make substitutions and adjustments, Yin Jun and Van Nistelrooy were both replaced.Obviously, Sir Alex is saving his energy for the 19th round of the Premier League two days later.

In the super-intensive Christmas Devils schedule, even a few minutes of rest is very rare for players.

In the end, with Yin Jun's assist hat-trick, Manchester United easily defeated West Brom 3-0 at home.

………………

52 hours later, St. Andrews Stadium.

Although Ferguson has carried out a certain rotation on Manchester United's lineup, Manchester United, which ushered in the second game in just two days, still looks very tired.

Under the huge pressure of relegation, Birmingham City, who played at home, played quite tenaciously amidst the cheers of the home team fans.Although they were scored by Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 4th minute, Birmingham City immediately launched a counterattack and equalized the score in the 17th minute.

After Birmingham equalized, the momentum became even stronger, and they even suppressed Manchester United on the scene.However, neither side scored more goals in the first half, and the score of 1:1 was brought into the intermission.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United regrouped and launched an offensive, and in the 54th minute they once again exceeded the score. It was Rooney who scored the goal. This was also Lu Xiaopang's 10th Premier League goal this season.

The two sides then entered a stalemate, with each other attacking and defending. Birmingham City evened the score again in the 77th minute.

At the critical moment, Yin Jun stood up.In the 87th minute, Cunningham fouled Giggs. Yin Jun took a free kick and hit a super world wave, breaking the goal of Birmingham City.

3:2, Manchester United struggled to win this victory!
