Chapter 72 Triple Crown Vs Sanya King

Manchester United's intensive schedule is still continuing. Just after the game against Tottenham, Manchester United flew non-stop to the western German city of Leverkusen.Just three days later, in the early morning of September 9, Manchester United will be a guest at the Bayer Arena to challenge the "pharmaceutical factory" Leverkusen.

This is the second round of the first stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage this season.

When he came to Leverkusen, Yin Jun could not help but think of the southernmost city in China.It's just that the city in China is still hot in summer, but Leverkusen, which is located in the cold temperate zone, is already a bit chilly.

Sitting on the bus to the hotel, seeing Yin Jun's mysterious smile, Ferdinand, who was sitting with him, felt very strange and asked him why he was laughing.

Yin Jun talked about the relationship between that beautiful subtropical city in China and Leverkusen, and Ferdinand immediately laughed, and then the whole bus also laughed. Also swept away.

In the end, it was Ferguson who stopped everyone and asked everyone to be cautious about the next game.

Although the title of Sanya King seems very sad, it also shows the strength of this team.There have been several treble-winning teams in European history, and Manchester United is one of them, but the Sanya king is still the only one so far, and not everyone can get it.

Although this Leverkusen team lost its midfield core in the summer, although it was beaten up in Greece in the first round of the group stage, and although the situation in the Bundesliga was not very good, the strength of the team was Not bad.If Manchester United dare to underestimate the enemy in the away game, it is very likely that the trip to Germany will end with a defeat.

………………

For Manchester United, Germany is a nightmare place.The Red Devils have not tasted the fruits of victory for 36 years in the territory of this once sworn enemy country.

This is also an extremely embarrassing record.

Because of his good performance in the previous two consecutive games, Yin Jun has already won the trust of Ferguson, so in this game, he still starts the game, partnering with Bart, who has returned from injury, in the middle of the midfield.

Because of his bad experience in Germany, Ferguson appeared very conservative in this game. He rarely played a 541 formation. It can be seen that Ferguson has a stable attitude towards this game.Butters started the game, Blanco, Ferdinand and O'Shea formed a three-centre back, Phil Neville and Sylvester served as left and right backs, and the four midfielders were Beckham, Butt, Giggs and Yin Jun. Combination, in a diamond-shaped position, the old partners Beckham and Giggs are still on the two wings, Bart drags behind full-time defense, Yin Jun advances to organize the attack, Ruud van Nistelrooy advances with a single arrow.

Leverkusen has a 442 formation, the goalkeeper is Curic, four defenders Lucio, Kivkovic, Babic and Balic, four midfielders Basturk, Ramelov, Ajigwi, Schneider, and the double forwards are Neuville and Burdalic.

To Yin Jun's surprise, before the game started, Basturk, the Turkish midfielder in Leverkusen's team, came over to say hello to him.The two sides have only played against each other in the World Cup group stage, but it was just a one-sided relationship.

Yin Jun is also very impressed with this Turkish midfielder. Although he is only 1.68 meters tall, he is very strong and fast. Of course, his biggest feature is his excellent skills at his feet and his strong ball control and dribbling ability. The pass is accurate and imaginative, the long-range shooting ability is also good, and the style of play is very gorgeous. He is a rare and excellent organizational midfielder.

………………

In the face of Leverkusen, which is not doing well recently, Manchester United did not show any carelessness. They played very resolutely.

After Leverkusen lost the core midfielder Ballack and the defensive general Brazilian Ze Roberto, their strength has indeed suffered a great loss. In addition, the team has really been out of shape recently and was completely suppressed by Manchester United on the field.

After experiencing the temptations in the opening stage, Manchester United played more and more confidently and resolutely.With Phil Neville and Giggs actively pressing forward, United's formation, in fact, returned to a less symmetrical 442 formation: Blanco, Ferdinand, O'Shea and Sylvester formed the back line, Butt played as a defensive midfielder, Phil Neville, Beckham and Yin Jun lined up in the forward line, Ruud van Nistelrooy was the center forward, and Giggs pressed forward as the left winger.

The left side where Yin Jun and Giggs are located has become the main direction of Manchester United's attack, because the right back of Leverkusen in this game is played by midfielder Kivkovic. The 25-year-old Serbian international is superb and positioned The ball is extremely lethal, the organizational ability is also good, and the cross is very threatening.But his problem is poor defense and relatively poor confrontation.

Manchester United, who stormed the left, opened up the situation in the 31st minute of the first half.Yin Jun won the confrontation with Kivkovic on the left side, squeezed him behind, and sent a pass.Leverkusen left-back Balic, who was also a cameo in this game, made a major mistake. He judged that the ball would be higher than the crossbar, so he did not choose to make a clearance.

Balic's misjudgment gave Van Nistelrooy a chance at the far post. The Dutchman stopped the ball with his chest and shot.

1:0, Manchester United took the lead in the away game, and Yin Jun once again liked to mention an assist!
………………

Manchester United continued to attack Leverkusen's right. Kivkovic was attacked by Giggs and Yin Jun in turn, and he was almost suspicious of life suddenly.

In the 44th minute, as the first half of the game was about to end, Manchester United launched an offensive again.They attacked from the center, and then Yin Jun assigned to Ryan Giggs on the left.

Wang Laoji dribbled the ball to force Kivkovic. The latter's weak defensive ability and poor confrontation were fully exposed in front of Manchester United's No. 11 and he was easily eliminated.

Subsequently, Giggs sent a pass and found Yin Jun who was inserted into the left rib.

Leverkusen's defensive strength in the penalty area is not lacking, but Kivkovic was easily broken by Giggs, which made Leverkusen's defense completely exposed to Manchester United's attack and became very passive.

Yin Jun receives the ball in a very relaxed environment and has many options. He can pass it to Ruud van Nistelrooy in the penalty area, or pass it to Beckham in front of the penalty area in the middle, or pass it to the right and then insert it. Phil Neville can even pass to Giggs who moves from the left to the center.

Among these choices, Yin Jun chose the most direct and most threatening pass defense: find Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area in the penalty area!
The Dutch shooter near the small penalty area line received the pass from Yin Jun very comfortably, and easily pushed the shot successfully. 2:0!
