host must win

Chapter 56



Chapter 56
The invitational tournament ushered in the second round two days later, Manchester United played against Parma, and the host Ajax played against La Liga giants Barcelona.

In this game, Manchester United's starting lineup has many changes from the previous game. The goalkeeper is Carroll, the back four is O'Shea, Ferdinand, Brown and Sylvester, and the midfielder is Beckham. The partners of Veron, Butt and Giggs, Solskjaer and Forlan acted as the double forwards, and Yin Jun still sat on the bench.

As Keane sat on the bench, Beckham wore the captain's armband, which may indicate that in the new season, Beckham will replace Ryan Giggs as Manchester United's second captain.

After the opening, Manchester United frequently launched attacks from the two wings, and even the two central defenders Brown and Ferdinand pressed from time to time.

In the 15th minute, Ferdinand received a pass from Beckham and took the ball from the left. Solskjaer almost succeeded with a barb shot.

In the 23rd minute, Giggs opened the scoring in a cross from Brown.

Van Nistelrooy's absence gave Forlan a chance to perform, but the Uruguayan still couldn't find the feeling, and he failed the previous praise from Ferguson.

His mistake in the 47th minute was particularly unforgivable. Yin Jun, who came on as a substitute for Beckham in midfield, made a precise pass into the penalty area and fell comfortably at the feet of Forlan, but he was incredible.

In the 50th minute, Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll took a big kick and the football fell into the Parma penalty area. Veron directly faced French goalkeeper Frey and calmly lobbed it into the net.

Veron's excellent performance can temporarily relieve Ferguson. Since Forlan has been unable to find his status, Ferguson is looking for emergency solutions.

There are still 10 days before the Champions League qualifiers will start. Scholes has flown back to England ahead of schedule due to a knee injury in the match against Ajax. Van Nistelrooy has a thigh strain and did not appear on the bench. Ferguson Facing the dilemma of lack of strikers, he may abandon Forlan at that time and use Veron to solve the urgent need.

In the 55th minute, Yin Jun made a cross and Solskjaer headed into the far corner at the near post. Manchester United 3-0 Parma and sealed the victory.

In the remaining time, Manchester United continued to control the situation, Forlan moved to the left, and Giggs moved forward to the striker. This may be one of Ferguson's solutions to the striker crisis.

………………

After Manchester United's 3:0 victory, the points reached 9 points.

而由于另外一场比赛中,东道主阿贾克斯4:3险胜巴塞罗那,这就使得这次四国邀请赛的积分榜变得有意思了:东道主1胜1平,打进6球拿到了10分;巴塞罗那1胜1负但却取得了7个进球,同样拿到了10分,因为相互战绩处于劣势排名第二;但是1胜1平的曼联却只获得了9分,屈居第三;两连败的帕尔马以2分垫底。

However, the best player of this four-nation invitational tournament was won by Yin Jun. He played as a substitute in both games. In 90 minutes of playing time, he scored 1 shot and 2 passes. His performance was eye-catching.

Ajax's talented player Van der Vaart was very dissatisfied with Yin Jun being elected as the best player of the tournament, because he thought he was more qualified than Yin Jun to be elected.

In Ajax's 4:3 reversal to defeat Barcelona, ​​van der Vaart contributed 2 shots and 1 pass, almost helping Ajax reverse Van Gaal's team by himself, leading the team to win the four-nation Champion of the Invitational Tournament.

However, in the final score, Yin Jun scored higher than him.

Yin Jun, who came on as a substitute in both games, scored 9.5 points and 8.5 points in the two games respectively, while Van der Vaart, who played in two games, scored 7.5 points and 10 points in the two games respectively, with a score of 0.5 points. Almost lost.

Van der Vaart believes that the best player in the championship team missed the best player in the competition, but let the No.3 substitute player get the best, which is a shame for the competition.

However, when the reporter asked Yin Jun about Van der Vaart's words, Yin Jun's reaction left everyone dumbfounded.

Yin Jun: He is right, he can come to me to get the best trophy!Or if he tells me the address, I can deliver it to my door?

Of course, it is impossible for Van der Vaart to come to Yin Jun to ask for the best trophy, let alone let Yin Jun deliver the best trophy to his door.

The Dutch genius was so angry that he just complained casually, but Yin Jun's answer made him a narrow-minded villain in front of the world.

………………

Ending the Four Nations Invitational Tournament with No.3 results, Manchester United's warm-up match did not end here. They went north from the Netherlands to Denmark non-stop, and played the last warm-up match with the local Ahus team in Copenhagen.

Subsequently, Manchester United will leave home, because Manchester United's new season's games will soon follow.Last season, Manchester United only achieved No.3 in the Premier League, ranking behind Arsenal and Liverpool.This makes them have to play in the Champions League qualifying rounds in the new season.

按照7月26日揭晓的冠军联赛资格赛第三轮抽签结果,曼联的两场欧冠资格赛将于8月14日及21日进行,而英超首轮定于8月17日重燃战火。

In other words, Manchester United will usher in a tight schedule of double matches a week at the start of the season.Therefore, after the Four Nations, Manchester United's new season has basically officially started.

On the evening of August 8th local time in Europe, the first round of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League kicked off. Manchester United went to Hungary, and their opponent was the Hungarian Zalegsergi team.

Because of his outstanding performance in the warm-up match, Chinese fans think that Yin Jun should be included in Manchester United's main list for granted, at least he can also enter the team's match list.

However, when countless Chinese fans were eagerly waiting for Yin Jun's first Champions League game, Yin Jun was not in the Manchester United squad announced by Manchester United.

Ferdinand, who joined Manchester United with Yin Jun, also failed to go to Budapest. At the same time, Butters and Gary Neville also failed to play with the team, but the latter three were due to injuries, while Yin Jun was not.

As for Yin Jun's missing list, Ferguson explained that Yin Jun was not ready to participate in the official competition when answering the reporter's question.

For this game, Manchester United looked very relaxed, and they didn't even pay attention to their opponents.Ferguson also declared that it would be a "complete tragedy" for Manchester United not to reach the Champions League group stage.Because the opponent Zalegsergi team has never participated in a European competition before.

But I didn't expect that Manchester United eventually capsized in the gutter and lost 0:1 in the away game. This is one of the most unexpected defeats in the history of the team.

Although the Hungarian recovered the defense for most of the time, he gave Manchester United a fatal blow in stoppage time. Szamos drove straight along the right wing and passed the ball low into the dangerous area. Substitute Kopralovicks shot from close range into the network.
