Chapter 823

Another 4:0!

4:0 for three consecutive games!

Not only the Premier League has gone crazy, but even the entire European football world has gone crazy!
No one expected that after the unexpected loss to Arsenal, Manchester United recovered quickly and strongly, played such a hearty offensive, and beat their opponents 4-0 in three consecutive rounds.

Especially for Yin Jun's performance, everyone gave a very high evaluation.

The Premier League official commented: "In the past three rounds of the league, Yin Jun's state is really excellent. With four goals and five assists, a player's versatility has been brought into full play. Yin Jun's range of activities is huge. Whether on the wing or in the middle, he is unstoppable and excellent. After 27 league rounds, 20 goals and 15 assists, this is another perfect answer from Yin Jun, who just passed his 22nd birthday."

"Since joining Manchester United, we have become accustomed to Yin Jun's outstanding performance, but we never imagined that he will be so good! 146 appearances, 131 goals, 79 assists, this is Yin Jun's record in the past five seasons. The total score sheet handed in. As a result, he also ranked among the top ten in the history of the Premier League, second only to Alan Shearer with 260 goals, Andy Cole with 187 goals, Thierry Henry with 174 goals, 163 goals Robbie Fowler with 149 goals, Les Ferdinand with 146 goals, and Sheringham with 122 goals rank seventh. In terms of assists, Yin Jun is even better. He is currently ranked fourth in the history of the Premier League in assists. Next to Ryan Giggs (94), Bergkamp (80) and David Beckham ([-])!"

When the Premier League officially released Yin Jun's personal data, everyone was shocked.Is this really the data of a young man who just turned 22?

Usually, people only see Yin Jun's outstanding performance on the court, but few people carefully count his statistics.Now I really don’t know if I don’t see it, I was shocked when I saw it!

But thinking of Yin Jun's performance in the Champions League, his performance in the Premier League seems not worth mentioning.You know, this 22-year-old guy is already the top scorer in the history of the Champions League!
………………

Manchester United made great strides in the Premier League, but they were not able to expand their lead, because Chelsea also won three consecutive victories during the same period, maintaining a 10-point gap with Manchester United.On the contrary, Arsenal and Chelsea are completely behind. With only 11 rounds left in the league, both teams are 19 points behind Manchester United, and almost only retain the theoretical possibility of winning the championship.

On February 2, Manchester United ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup and played against Reading at home.

Although Reading currently ranks sixth in the Premier League standings and is the best performer among the three newly promoted teams this season, for Manchester United, Reading's strength is still obviously inferior.In addition, he will go to France to challenge Lille in the middle of the week. This is the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Ferguson is confident in arranging a rotation for this unplanned match. Although Yin Jun leads the starting lineup, Scholes , Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney and others did not appear in the starting lineup. In addition, Vidic missed the game due to injury, and Gary Neville continued to be hidden in the rumors of falling out with Sir Alex.

After the opening, the situation was as Ferguson expected.

In the 2nd minute, Heinze opened the scoring with a volley with his left foot. This is the first time the Argentine has scored for Manchester United since August 2005.

In the 4th minute, Ferdinand made a long pass, and Yin Jun turned offside and succeeded in shooting low with his left foot into the net from the far corner.

In the 6th minute, Solskjaer received Yin Jun's through ball and scored easily with a single goal.

The Red Devils achieved a 3:0 advantage in a short period of time. Coupled with the previous consecutive victories, the Manchester United people were a little bit flustered. They seemed to see another big victory beckoning to them.

………………

Turns always happen inadvertently.

Reading first pulled back a goal in the 23rd minute, Oster took a corner kick on the right, Injimarsen headed forward to ferry, and Kitson scored with a far header.

The Manchester United people still didn't care too much, anyway, they still had a two-goal advantage. Since then, the Reading team has been playing well, but they have been unable to score.On the contrary, when Manchester United entered injury time in the first half, Yin Jun dribbled the ball in the middle and pretended to shoot, and suddenly knocked back behind him. Carrick shot straight into the lower left corner of the goal from 30 yards away, rewriting the score to 4: 1.

Leading 4:1 at halftime, Ferguson felt the game was stable.In addition, three days later, he will go to France to play the Champions League game against Lille, so Ferguson replaced Yin Jun at halftime.

As a result, Manchester United only Ferdinand and Van der Sar, the two absolute main players, are still on the field.

Manchester United, lacking a backbone, completely lost control of the situation on the field, and the game fell into the rhythm of Reading.They first came back in the 66th minute. Xue Qixuan's cross was blocked by Heinze from the bottom line. Oster took a corner kick. Gunarsson's header from 12 yards in the middle went straight to the upper right corner, 4:2.

In the 83rd minute, Kitson's turnaround shot near the penalty spot was bravely saved by Van der Sar.However, they finally chased another city after 1 minute. Dela Cruz made a cross from the right, and Lita headed the goal to bring back the suspense of the game.

At this time, Ferguson remembered that Reading is the absolute backbone of the Premier League this season. Manchester United struggled in the two rounds of the league. They were tied 1:1 in the away game. Lucky to win with a score of 3:2.

In the 92nd minute, Gunarsson's volley from the edge of the penalty area hit the crossbar. At that moment, the hearts of more than 5 home team fans jumped into their throats.

Fortunately, the final result was good. Manchester United escaped unharmed and were lucky to advance with a score of 4:3.

………………

"I felt at the time that I might be ready for a rematch because the opponent controlled the game." Ferguson admitted at the post-match press conference that he was ready to play a rematch in the final stage.

As for replacing Yin Jun at halftime, Ferguson did not admit that he underestimated his opponent, but for the purpose of protecting Yin Jun.He said: "Once Yin Jun came off the pitch, we lost control. He was kicked so much in the first half and eventually he failed, he got kicked in the calf and I had to replace him after half-time. .It was a blow to us because he was so good tonight, so the final stretch was really difficult for us."

However, relying on the solid foundation laid by Manchester United before Yin Jun left the field, coupled with some luck, Manchester United was lucky enough to stay in the FA Cup, and did not go out as early as the League Cup.

Although being out will allow Manchester United to focus more on the league and the Champions League, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism for Manchester United.Moreover, with the thickness of Manchester United's lineup, it is not impossible to deal with third-line operations.It is always a good thing to have one more championship to compete for.
