In the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United topped the list with three consecutive victories after three rounds of the group stage. The remaining three teams Leverkusen, Olympiacos and Maccabi Haifa all had 1 win and 2 losses. Manchester United has almost stood in the promotion the edge of.

Their next game will be at 10:8 a.m. on October 6th, Beijing time. In the middle of the UEFA Champions League group match with Olympiacos, there will be a full [-] days of rest!

This is really rare for Manchester United who have been fighting on multiple fronts recently.

………………

While Manchester United is cherishing the rare rest time, the domestic fans who are in the National Day Golden Week are constantly learning about Yin Jun and other British players through the Internet and newspapers.

The focus of domestic media reports during this period is another derby match between Chinese players.

At the end of August, there was already a derby match between Chinese players. Manchester City played by Sun Jihai faced Everton played by Li Tie at home.

After a lapse of five weeks, another Chinese derby will be staged. This time it will be played by Yin Jun. His Manchester United team will face Li Tie's Everton team at Old Trafford.

Unlike Yin Jun who was unable to get a chance to play after joining the team, Li Tie quickly gained the trust of head coach Moyes after joining Everton. In the previous eight rounds of the Premier League, Li Tie started all the games. Fulton's absolute main force.

Not only Li Tie, another Chinese player who plays for the Premier League team has a very stable position in the team, and that is Sun Jihai who plays for Manchester City.As a veteran player of Blue Moon, he also played almost all of Manchester City's games in the new season.

However, Yin Jun has performed better than Li Tie and Sun Jihai since his debut at Manchester United. This may have a lot to do with his position. After all, Yin Jun plays more as an offensive player, which is beneficial He played good game statistics.

With the support of consecutive outstanding performances, Yin Jun also won the trust of Ferguson and gained a firm foothold in the Manchester United midfield where there are many strong players. He has played consecutively in Manchester United's recent 5 games and has become an indispensable part of Manchester United's midfield. member.

………………

Three players have become the main force or even the core of the Premier League team, which makes Chinese fans very happy.In Asia, especially East Asia, no player from any other country has performed so well.

Of the three East Asian teams that went to the Korea-Japan World Cup, the Chinese team had the worst performance. Both Japan and South Korea entered the knockout round. Japan stopped in the quarter-finals, and South Korea even entered the semi-finals. A stark contrast.

However, the performance of Chinese players in the World Cup has won the recognition of many European teams.After the World Cup, many Chinese players have embarked on the road to study abroad. Among them, the Premier League has become the favorite place for Chinese players. Four Chinese players have joined the Premier League team. Except for Yin Jun, Sun Jihai and Li Tie, Li Weifeng, a defender of the Chinese team, also joined Everton, where Li Tie played, on loan.

However, compared with Li Tie, who quickly became the backbone of the team's defense, Li Weifeng, as a central defender, has not been able to get a chance to play in Everton so far.

The reason why this game between Manchester United and Everton received more attention than the double-blue battle between Manchester City and Everton was not only because Yin Jun and Manchester United were more famous in China and had more fans, but also because The two are likely to face each other directly in the game.

In Everton, Li Tie has always been a defensive midfielder.However, Yin Jun, who was originally a right midfielder, played more of an attacking midfielder in Manchester United.

When the two meet on the court, they will definitely face each other directly.Especially since this game is still Manchester United's home court, they will definitely attack aggressively, and fans will often see the duel between the two on the court.

………………

The game between Manchester United and Everton is the evening game of the 9th round of the Premier League. The game time is [-]:[-] pm local time on Monday.In China, it is the last night of the National Day Golden Week.

Although everyone had to go to work the next day, the game still attracted the attention of a large number of domestic fans.

Many fans even go to bed early, set the alarm clock, and get up to watch when the game starts.Because when the game ended, it was almost 5 o'clock in the morning in China.For most places in the country, it is almost dawn at this time, and after watching the game, they will start to make breakfast and then go to work.

In the Chinese derby between Manchester City and Everton, although Sun Jihai and Li Tie both started, but because Li Tie left the field early due to injury in the 25th minute, the fans wanted to see the "Chinese derby" The hasty ending gave everyone a sense of disenchantment.

In this game now, both Li Tie and Yin Jun are in a very good state, presumably they can have more time on the court at the same time.

………………

Compared with the so-called "Chinese Derby" that has been hyped up in China, in England, the duel between the two is not very angry.On the one hand, it is because the relationship between the two clubs is good, and on the other hand, it is because the relationship between the coaches of the two teams is better.Ferguson and Moyes, who are also from Scotland, can be described as forgetful friends.

In the history of the battles between the two sides after entering the Premier League era, Everton is comprehensively behind.In the Premier League, Everton can be called Manchester United's point boy.

Since winning the FA Cup final in 1995, the "Toffees" have not won 14 games with Manchester United.As far as the Premier League alone is concerned, since the start of the Premier League in August 1992, Everton has visited Old Trafford, known as the "Dream Theater" ten times, and only scored 8 point in total. The specific record is 1 draw and 1 points. burden!
Moyes' starting lineup is exactly the same as the last round against Fulham, and the Irishman Carsley continues to replace Alexanderson.The talented teenager Rooney, who scored the first goal of his career in the second round of the League Cup last week, sat on the bench.

For Manchester United, Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the pre-match physical examination. Due to his hamstring tightness, he did not participate in the Champions League a few days ago. The recovering Dutchman scored 4 goals in the previous 4 games.The teenager O'Shea replaced Ferdinand who was sidelined due to knee surgery.

Ferguson formed a very aggressive lineup of 4141 at home. Gary Neville, Blanco, O'Shea and Sylvester formed a defensive line. In front of them was the full-time defensive midfielder Butt. On the forward line, Giger Si and Beckham are separated on the left and right, Yin Jun and Scholes form a double midfielder, and Ruud van Nistelrooy advances with a single arrow.
