host must win

Chapter 59 Stress by Alexander Ferguson

After the four rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United remained unbeaten with 2 wins and 2 draws, and scored 8 points.This result is not outstanding, but fortunately, compared with Manchester United, the performance of other strong teams is the big brother, not to mention the second brother, everyone is similar.

The team at the top of the list is somewhat surprising. It is Tottenham. Bai Baihe scored 4 wins and 3 draw in the first 1 rounds, leading the standings alone with 10 points.

Manchester United's biggest competitor in the Premier League era, Arsenal, has the same record as Manchester United with 2 wins and 2 draws, but their goal difference exceeds Manchester United, so they rank second in points.

Manchester United's mortal rival Liverpool also has a record of 2 wins and 2 draws. Their goal difference is more than Manchester United, but less than Arsenal, ranking third in the standings.

Manchester United is temporarily ranked fourth in the Premier League standings!
After this game, the international football world ushered in the first national team match day of the new season, but the national team match day only lasts for one week, and there is only one match schedule.

Because the new head coach of the Chinese men's football team has not been confirmed, the Chinese national team has no game tasks on this international match day.Instead, the Olympic team started to compete in the Athens Olympic qualifiers, but Yin Jun used some tricks, so he was not in the Olympic team's call-up list.Therefore, he has been training with the team this week.

………………

It has been almost two months since he joined the team in July. Li Tie, who came to England almost with Yin Jun, has already played in Everton's Premier League games, but Yin Jun has not won even 1 minutes He didn't even make the big roster, which caused a lot of discussion in China.

Many media have said that Yin Jun's choice to join a giant like Manchester United is completely a wrong choice, because his competitors are too strong.Competing with a superstar like Beckham, especially since Beckham is still a product of Manchester United's own youth training, Yin Jun has no chance of winning.

Many media even asserted that even if Beckham was injured on the eve of the national team match day, it would still be difficult for Yin Jun to get a chance to play.Because Manchester United's midfield is too strong, except for Beckham, Keane, Giggs, Scholes, Veron, Butt are all famous big stars.It is difficult for the young Yin Jun to compete against them.

Not to mention these famous stars, even young players like Fletcher and O'Shea, it is difficult for Yin Jun to win the competition with them, because these people are all produced by Manchester United's youth training.In Manchester United, which pays attention to "blood", their ranking must also be ahead of Yin Jun.

The best choice for Yin Jun is to seek a loan in the winter transfer window to play in the English Championship or other clubs in Europe.If you have a good performance, seek a transfer in the next summer transfer window, or return to Manchester United with a curve to save the country, and see if you can get some opportunities.

Of course, it is not impossible for Yin Jun to stay at Manchester United. After all, he is still young. At the age of 18, he can spend two or three years in Manchester United's youth team and reserve team. By then, it will be similar to Manchester United's youth training.

………………

As a player who amazed the world at the World Cup in the summer and was regarded as a hero by the Chinese people, Yin Jun, who also set a record for the transfer value of Chinese players in the summer transfer window, still has a great influence in China. When he was unable to get a chance to play in the Manchester United team, many domestic media were worried. Some media sent reporters to Manchester to track and report Yin Jun and other overseas players, and they wanted to find opportunities to interview Yin Jun.

Lu Qi asked Yin Jun if he wanted to introduce the interviews of these reporters, and took this opportunity to make his voice heard and put pressure on Manchester United and Ferguson to see if he could get a chance to play.

Yin Jun rejected Lu Qi's suggestion, and warned his aunt, absolutely not to post complaints or comments that are not good for Manchester United.He is too clear about the power of the old man Ferguson.

If I train diligently and don't cause trouble to the club, maybe my debut may come one day.But if he annoyed the old man by talking nonsense outside, then he might not have a bright future in Manchester United.

While exhorting Lu Qi, Yin Jun himself is also cautious in his words and deeds. Even if he was blocked by reporters on the way to the Carrington training base, Yin Jun just said that he is actively integrating into the team, so that everyone does not have to worry. With my situation at Manchester United, everything is on the right track.

………………

After a week of national team match day, when the Premier League restarted, Manchester United ushered in another intensive schedule.

On September 9, British local time, Wednesday, at 11:7 pm, the eight games of the fifth round of the Premier League whistled at the same time.

Although a national team match day has just ended, many of Manchester United's international players have gone to participate in matches all over the world, and they are very exhausted physically and mentally. However, because the team has suffered some injuries and the team is currently only ranked fourth in the Premier League, Although the points were not pulled away by the teams ahead, Ferguson still faced a lot of pressure, so in this game, he chose to play with all the main players.

In the first 30 minutes of the first half, although Manchester United had some chances, it did not pose a real threat to the visiting team.In the second half, Manchester United still controlled the situation at home. In the 60th minute, Beckham's direct free kick from 30 yards to the left was saved by Bolton goalkeeper Garth Klein.

And Manchester United then surprisingly squandered 3 chances, one was saved, one shot was high, and one shot was missed.

Although the team was at a comprehensive disadvantage, the Bolton team did not give up their efforts to win. In the 76th minute, Kevin Nolan received a right pass from Charlton and shot with his right foot straight into the lower left corner to score the only goal of the game.

Not only did Manchester United fail to continue their three-game winning streak at home this season, they also swallowed a dry bitter pill in front of 7000 more than 7 spectators at Old Trafford, ranking seventh in the standings.

Less than 72 hours later, at noon on September 9, the sixth round of the Premier League kicked off, and Manchester United challenged Leeds United as a guest.

Manchester United is one of the most hated opponents of Leeds United fans, not only because Leeds United have not won Manchester United for 5 consecutive years, but also because Ferguson poached their Ferdinand.

At home, Ferdinand could hear "Judas" swearing from the stands every time he touched the ball.Some Leeds United fans are still wearing T-shirts with the letter "Traitors - Jordan, McQueen, Cantona, Leo". These four players have defected to Old Trafford from Elland Road.

In the 66th minute, after Leeds United's substitute midfielders Barker, Kewell and Bowyer made consecutive passes, Irish defender Hart got rid of the defender on the left and sent a curve ball. Leaping up high, he pushed a downward header into the net. Former teammate Ferdinand and his partner Blanc could do nothing about it. This was Kewell's second goal of the season.

Manchester United suffered a two-game losing streak in the league in just 3 days, ranking seventh with only 8 points, creating the worst start to the Premier League in team history, and Ferguson was under great pressure.
