Chapter 312 Ferguson Throws Smoke Bombs Again
Yin Jun scored twice and rewritten the score to 3:0. This goal almost destroyed the last fighting spirit of the Xiangjiang team.The game then entered garbage time, and neither side continued to attack with all their might.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Yin Jun was replaced by Ali Han, and Zheng Bing came on as a substitute.

When Yin Jun left the field, all [-] fans stood up and gave him the warmest applause.At this moment, everyone, regardless of whether they are national team fans or Xiangjiang fans, they are all Chinese, and they all applaud for Yin Jun, the pride of Chinese football.

Especially the local fans in Xiangjiang, they only watched Yin Jun's games through TV broadcasts before, but this time they witnessed Yin Jun's demeanor with their own eyes.Yin Jun did not let everyone down either, he scored twice easily and planned Manchester United's first goal.

The only thing that made Xiangjiang fans unsatisfied was that the Xiangjiang Football Association did not choose the Xiangjiang Stadium for the match venue, which prevented many fans from entering the stadium to watch the game.

After Yin Jun was replaced, the situation on the field did not change. Although the two sides played some offensives, the meaning of coping was more obvious. The score of 3:0 was maintained until the end of the game.

After the two rounds of the group stage, the Chinese team topped the list with two consecutive victories. Although the Chinese Xiangjiang team lost to the Chinese team, they still ranked second with the advantage of goal difference.Kuwait defeated Malaysia 2:0 in the away game, and the ranking also overtook Malaysia and rose to third in the group. Malaysia continued to be at the bottom after two consecutive losses.

………………

After the game, the national team did not disband, because in the following early April, Alihan arranged for the team to go to Europe for training.After returning home, the team will fly to Europe soon.

However, Yin Jun, Sun Jihai, Li Tie, and Dong Fangzhuo, who plays in the Belgian First Division, did not move with the team. They will fly directly from Xiangjiang to Europe and return to the club to participate in the competition.

Yin Jun and the others are still flying with Cathay Pacific Airways, not only because they support domestic flights, but also because of jet lag.Cathay Pacific’s direct flight to Manchester departs at 1 am and arrives at Manchester International Airport at around [-]:[-] am local time in the UK, which can also perfectly achieve the effect of jet lag.

The World Cup qualifier match against Xiangjiang team started at [-]:[-] p.m., and it was nearly ten o'clock when the match ended. Yin Jun and the others didn't stay long, and rushed to the airport soon.

Dong Fangzhuo also followed the three of them, first flew back to Manchester, and then transferred to Antwerp, Belgium.

In the morning light in Manchester, the plane landed.The four of Yin Jun also went their separate ways. Yin Jun returned to Manchester United, Sun Jihai returned to Manchester City, Li Tie went to Liverpool, and Dong Fangzhuo directly transferred at the airport.

After resting well on the plane, Yin Jun did not continue to rest after returning to his residence in Manchester, but started morning exercises, and then joined the team's training in the morning.

………………

The Manchester United coaching staff was originally worried about Yin Jun's physical condition, but after a physical examination, they found that Yin Jun's physical condition was very good. After a football game.

However, Ferguson did not announce Yin Jun's physical condition to the public. Instead, he threw smoke bombs, saying that Yin Jun was in poor physical condition due to his travels, and whether he could play in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal was a problem.

On the way for the Manchester United team to Birmingham, although Yin Jun appeared in the Manchester United team, Ferguson still did not change his words, saying that Yin Jun's physical condition is very bad and he may not be able to play.

The FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Arsenal was played on a neutral field.Since Wembley Stadium is still being rebuilt, and the Millennium Stadium in Wales is relatively far away from the two teams, it was determined to be at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, which is relatively close to Manchester United and Arsenal.

Birmingham is only more than 100 kilometers away from Manchester and London, which is just over an hour's drive.

Ferguson's smoke bombs have played a role, because Yin Jun has indeed almost flown around the earth in the past three days, and even played a game for the national team. It is normal for Wenger to be in poor physical condition. Believe it, Yin Jun's physical fitness did appear to be a problem.

As for the media, they are also generally not optimistic about Manchester United.Because Manchester United is not only Yin Jun who may not be able to play in this focus game, they also lack another general.The Dutch Ruud van Nistelrooy suffered some injuries in the focus of the Premier League last week and has already confirmed that he will miss the FA Cup semi-final.

After losing Ruud van Nistelrooy as a striker, and Yin Jun, the team's midfield playmaker and top scorer, what can Manchester United compare with the invincible Arsenal?
………………

At 4 o'clock on April 3, Beijing time, this is definitely a golden time for Chinese people, and the FA Cup semi-final between Arsenal and Manchester United will start at this time.

The game was about to start 15 minutes before the start of the game, and the CCTV broadcasting the game, the two hosts had already chatted in the live broadcast room.

"...This game is a very crucial battle for Manchester United and Arsenal. At present, both teams still retain the hope of winning the Triple Crown this season, but after this game, they are destined to There will be a team whose dreams will be shattered."

"Arsenal fans will definitely say that Manchester United has already won the treble, and this time the treble will be left to Arsenal. Judging from the current situation, all aspects are more beneficial to Arsenal. They are still unbeaten in the Premier League and have 2 more points than Manchester United; this FA Cup semi-final, judging from the injuries reported by both sides before the game, is also more beneficial to Arsenal. On the other side, not only Ruud van Nistelrooy was injured and absent, Yin Jun was in poor physical condition because he returned to China to play a World Cup qualifier in the middle of the week. Ferguson said many times before the game that Yin Jun might not play for Manchester United..."

"This is very possible. Yin Jun flew from London to Xiangjiang on the 29th. After playing a game, he flew back to the UK on the 1st. It is difficult for him to adjust in such a short period of time. It's just that It may disappoint many domestic fans, because Yin Jun may not play the game."

"There is no way to do this. Yin Jun is too important to the national team. In order to ensure that he advances to the quarter-finals, it is impossible for Yin Jun not to return to China to play."

"At present, Manchester United still has not announced the starting lineup, and I don't know what Ferguson thinks. At this time, they are still hiding it."
