Chapter 71 Imperfect Premier League debut
The penalty scored by Ruud van Nistelrooy after Yin Jun made it was Manchester United's only goal in this game.Although this goal can't completely improve Manchester United's offensive strength in the Premier League, the real three-pointer is very important for Manchester United who are in a trough.The team finally got out of the two-game losing streak in the league and ushered in a strong rebound.

However, as far as Manchester United's position in the Premier League standings is concerned, it has not changed because of this game. They are still ranked 7th, still 6 points behind the top of the list, Arsenal.Because the teams in front of Manchester United, except for Tottenham, basically won this game.Even if it was Tottenham who lost to Manchester United, because they had a 5-point advantage over Manchester United before this round, after losing this game, they still ranked ahead of Manchester United with a 2-point advantage.

After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson believed that the state of Manchester United was getting better and better. He said: "Speaking of opportunities, we had seven or eight absolute chances to score in this game, and finally we seized one in the second half of the game. Chance and win the game."

If it weren't for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Kelly's outstanding performance in this game, then Manchester United would not have scored just one goal. Ferguson said after the game that Manchester United could have won by a big score, and he predicted a score of 6. :0.

When talking about the penalty, Ferguson said: "It is very fair for us to get a penalty, because as you can see in the game, the opponent did foul Yin Jun, and every penalty kick Everyone at the scene was very nervous, because if Ruud van Nistelrooy did not score a penalty kick, then the final result of the game may be 0:0, and the opponent's goalkeeper played very well in this game, but In the end we scored the penalty. We played hard and we deserved the three points."

Interestingly, in the other two giants games of this round, Arsenal and Liverpool also won penalties in the game, but the top scorers of the two teams, Owen and Henry, did not score the ball.

………………

Although Ferguson affirmed that Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a penalty kick against the pressure at the press conference after the game, this does not mean that Sir Alex Ferguson was very satisfied with Ruud van Nistelrooy's performance.

Just after the post-match press conference, Ferguson called Ruud to his manager's office at Old Trafford.

Although the content of the conversation was unclear to outsiders, Ferguson said publicly afterwards that he had warned Ruud Ruud not to be too independent and not to be too greedy for credit, because this had seriously affected Manchester United's results.

Ferguson expressed that he was very dissatisfied with Van Nistelrooy's performance recently. He said: "I am very clear that if Ruud van Nistelrooy did not play alone, he would not have scored 36 goals last season, but obviously, in many cases , his shooting position is not good, but he still refuses to pass the ball to a teammate in a better position, which is obviously very wrong. Van Nistelrooy always thinks that if you don't score in a game, then the game is for nothing, He always wants to score goals in every game, I have warned him many times, this is a ridiculous idea. Because the team's results are the most important. His first thought should be to try to make the team win. "

However, Ferguson still expressed his trust in Van Nistelrooy and believed that after his criticism, Van Nistelrooy could change his style of play. He said: "Van Nistelrooy will definitely score at least 25 goals in the new season. This is his goal. Convinced. Because he was a great player."

………………

Regarding Ferguson's words, Van Nistelrooy responded: "I accept these criticisms because they are all right. I am very anxious because I don't score goals all the time, and I always think that I can perform better, so I can't help but want to show myself. .”

The Dutch guy said he was a man, not the kind of brat with strong limbs and a simple mind. In that case, he was only worthy of standing at the gate of Old Trafford to maintain order.

Van Nistelrooy means that he will not be impatient because of the low tide, but he has confidence. The Dutch lack land and friends, but they do not lack this.He is not afraid that Ferguson will say that he is alone, and ask the world, which striker is not alone?Can someone who is not alone be a striker?
Ruud van Nistelrooy knew he was unique, at least at United, who would put a forward who scored 36 goals in one season on the bench?
Solskjaer? No matter how great the "super substitute" is, it can't get rid of the negative impact brought by the long-term substitute --- lack of domineering.

Forlan, the Uruguayan who cost Manchester United 700 million pounds, only broke the 26-game scoring drought last week, and it was a penalty.

Without Ruud Ruud, who will shoot for Manchester United?This is no longer the Dutch striker's personal inner monologue, but a real problem before Fergie. He taught Van Nistelrooy just because he had too high expectations for Van Nistelrooy. Why didn't he say Forlan?

………………

When both Scholes and Butt entered the injured list and Veron's state was as bad as ever, Yin Jun took on the heavy responsibility of the team's offense well in the two games. After a losing streak, they ushered in a two-game winning streak.

In the first round match of the UEFA Champions League group match against Maccabi Haifa, Yin Jun scored a penalty kick with a pass and instigated two attacks. He participated in all five goals of Manchester United. It can be said that he directed it by himself. Big win for Manchester United.

In this game, Yin Jun played a defensive midfielder in the first half. He was responsible and performed quite steadily, helping Manchester United to achieve the only clean sheet in the past five games.

In the second half, his position was premised, and he took over the banner of Manchester United's offense as an organizing midfielder, and created a penalty.It was with this penalty that Manchester United won the game.

After the game, the British "Manchester Evening News" scored a game-high 9 points for Yin Jun.At the same time, the "Manchester Evening News" also published an article titled "Manchester United Cheers for China's Attention". He has established himself at Manchester United.They denied that Manchester United's introduction of Chinese players is just for sponsorship, and called Yin Jun "China's Beckham", and it is entirely possible to take over the position of Manchester United captain from Keane and Beckham in the future.

The British "Sun" also gave Yin Jun the highest score of 9 points in the game, thinking that Yin Jun was the best player in the game, and said that the reason why he did not give Yin Jun 10 points was because he was not as good as the Champions League players. Scoring goals like they did against Maccabi Haifa, it wasn't a perfect game.
