Chapter 95 Strong Dialogue
In the saliva of the players and coaches on both sides, the time quickly turned to the match day on December 12.

Because Manchester United and Arsenal will both usher in the second match of the Champions League second stage group stage in the middle of next week, the focus of this Premier League match is scheduled for the morning game, at 12:15 noon local time in the UK.

For such a crucial battle, both sides attach great importance to it, and the fans are also very concerned.Tickets for the game were sold out early, and on the match day, fans flocked to Old Trafford early, waiting for the start of the game in the cold wind.

According to the weather forecast issued by the British Met Office, there will be light rain in Manchester at noon today.In other words, the game is likely to be carried out in cold wind and rain, but this will not win the enthusiasm of the fans at all.

Because of the cold weather and the possibility of rain, both sides arrived at the stadium earlier than normal.Because the players need to do more warm-up, fully move the body to avoid injury during the game.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the buses of the two teams arrived at the Old Trafford Stadium almost at the same time, and then quickly entered the stadium through the player tunnel under the protection of security personnel.

Yin Jun is also in Manchester United's 16-man roster, which was already known to the outside world when the team roster was announced in the morning.

After learning that Yin Jun entered Manchester United's 16-man squad, Wenger's face was very ugly.

Although Ferguson did not announce Manchester United's starting list, but now that there are only 5 substitutes on the bench, any place in the team's squad is very precious.If Yin Jun is really seriously injured and unable to play, Ferguson will not put him in the squad.

In other words, Ferguson's previous words and deeds were completely smokescreens, and Arsenal's preparations for the previous few days also had some problems.

And when the first 11 players from both sides lined up at the player tunnel before the game started, Wenger's face became even darker: Nima, I fell for that old Scottish man!
And that seemingly innocent Chinese kid is so bad, acting like an old Scottish man!
………………

Yin Jun's starting appearance not only surprised and annoyed Wenger, but even the commentators of the major media couldn't imagine it.

After all, in the game against Liverpool, Yin Jun was indeed kicked severely by Owen. His bloody ankle at that time was very frightening, and the director deliberately avoided that scene.

After that game, Manchester United announced that Yin Jun was on the injured list and also missed the midweek League Cup game.

However, looking at Yin Jun's lively appearance now, doesn't he look injured?

Obviously, the whole world has been deceived by Ferguson and Yin Jun. The old and the young have played a double reed in the past week.

The Chinese fans felt cheated when they saw Yin Jun starting the game, but they were very happy in their hearts. There is no better news than Yin Jun staying healthy!
Moreover, Ferguson actually set off smoke bombs because of Yin Jun, which also shows Yin Jun's status in his mind, and even regards him as the key figure to determine the outcome of this strong dialogue!
………………

As a guest at Old Trafford, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger started with Wiltord instead of Bergkamp, ​​and Ljungberg also replaced Torre who started last round.Defensive veteran Keown replaced the suspended Campbell's position, while Ashley Cole was injured and started at left back, old goalkeeper Seaman was injured for a long time, and Swede Saban still started.

For Manchester United, the young midfielder who was originally declared on the injured list started the game, but Forlan, who scored twice in the last round, did not enter the starting lineup.The sky-high injured such as Beckham and Ferdinand had to help Manchester United in the audience.

The game between the two sides can be described as a needle-point confrontation, and both adopted a 442 formation.

For Manchester United, the starting goalkeeper is Butters, Gary Neville, Wes Brown, Sylvester and Phil Neville form a defensive line, and the midfield four are Yin Jun, O'Shea and Scholes And the combination of Giggs, Van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer partnered as a double striker.

On the Arsenal side, the starting goalkeeper is Saban, the back four is Ashley Cole, Nishioka, Keown and Ruzny, Pires, Gilberto, Vieira and Ljungberg sit in the midfield, Henry and Wiltord formed a striker with two guns.

There are many focuses in this game, but the focus of the focus is the confrontation between Ruud van Nistelrooy and Henry, the two super forwards.These two are also the well-deserved number one stars of their respective teams on the stage today, and they are both in very hot condition.

So far, Henry has scored 15 goals for Arsenal in all competitions, Ruud van Nistelrooy is currently even better, he helped Manchester United 16 times in all competitions.

………………

This British battle kicked off in the light rain at Old Trafford, and the fighting between the two sides was very fierce from the first minutes of the opening.

Although Yin Jun knew that Arsenal's midfielders were very strong, he only had a personal experience after the game started.

In this game, Yin Jun played as a right midfielder. In addition to Arsenal's young left back Ashley Cole, he was facing the French midfielder Pires.

Neither of these two are good at each other. Pires is one of the best midfielders in world football today, and Ashley Cole is not the world's number one left-back a few years later, but he is in Arsenal's first team. After two full seasons, he has gradually faded away from his youthfulness and has completely secured his position as Arsenal's main left-back.

Fortunately, Yin Jun is not short of helpers. Solskjaer in front of him, Scholes next to him, and Gary Neville behind him can all give him powerful help.

Although the game has entered a fast-paced and strong confrontational state from the very beginning, in general, both sides are still in a tentative state of mind.

Manchester United, playing at home, took the initiative to launch wave after wave of offensives towards Arsenal's goal amid the cheers and cheers of nearly [-] home team fans. The position does not give Arsenal a chance to fight back.After the midfielders lost the ball, they all returned to defense as quickly as possible.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Manchester United had a total of four shots, but under the defense of Arsenal, neither Ruud van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, nor Yin Jun could hit the target.

Of course, Arsenal seemed more passive. In these 10 minutes, they didn't even get a single shot, let alone a shot that hit the target.
