Chapter 413: Difficult winning streak

In Penang, Malaysia's second largest city, the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers group stage did not go smoothly. The Chinese team has not found any feeling. The two sides were in a stalemate in the first half. Although the Chinese team was relatively high in formation, they have not found a threatening shot opportunity. Instead, Malaysia almost successfully attacked several times.

The second half lasted only 5 minutes. Zheng Zhi, who had just transferred to Charlton of the Premier League, received two yellow cards in just one minute and was sent off. This led to the Chinese team having to face the difficult situation of playing one less player in the next 40 minutes.

This red card gave the home team hope to defeat the Chinese team. They launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal amid the cheers of home fans.

However, this Chinese team has already achieved transformation after winning the Asian Cup championship. Under Yin Jun's leadership, the Chinese team quickly stabilized its position and did not give Malaysia any chance. And through a quick counterattack, Yin Jun assisted Li Jinyu to score a goal.

This is the only goal in this game. The Chinese team also defeated their opponents with this goal, achieved four consecutive wins in the group stage, and continued to beat Kuwait with a 3-point advantage, ranking first in the group points.

However, Zheng Zhi's yellow card still caused considerable trouble to the Chinese team, because Zheng Zhi will be suspended in the next national team match day of the game, and Li Weifeng, another central defender of the Chinese team, is currently injury, and it is still unknown whether he can make a comeback at that time.

If the Chinese team loses to Kuwait away, the Chinese team's points will be tied, and at most it will continue to top the list by relying on the advantage of goal difference. This will make the Chinese team's qualifying face variables again.

Back at the club, Yin Jun immediately ushered in a intensive schedule.

On September 11, Manchester United ushered in the fifth round of the Premier League, and Manchester United challenged Bolton away.

In this game, Fanny returned, and new players Heinze, Vidic and Evra were all on the roster. Fanny and Heinze started, while Vidic and Evra were temporarily on the bench.

Manchester United took the lead in the 34th minute. Yin Jun made a beautiful pass to the right side of the penalty area, Scholes' shot was blocked by Jas Klein, and Yin Jun followed up on the edge of the penalty area and scored a goal.

Before the end of the half, Giggs took a corner kick from the right, Sylvester headed the ball back with a long distance, and Heinzer pushed the ball with his left foot for 6 yards in front of the goal to help Manchester United expand the lead to two goals.

However, Bolton won a goal shortly after the second half. In the 51st minute, Campo quickly took a free kick from the left, Okocha dribbled the ball from 25 yards from the middle, Manchester United's defense made another loophole in the middle, Kevin Nolan successfully counter-offside and deflected the Nigerian's shot, Howard blocked the ball before losing the center of gravity, but the Americans were no longer able to save Kevin Nolan's header and re-shot.

Then the deadlock entered.

Seeing that the game was about to end, Bolton broke through Manchester United's city again. Manchester United gave a big gift in the 90th minute. Bolton made a cross from the left and was cleared by Sylvester. Les Ferdinand competed with Heinzer for the top, Howard attacked but saved the ball and lost his hand. He had the chance to turn around and confiscate the ball, but Sylvester poked the ball out. Les Ferdinand broke the ball and easily kicked into the empty goal.

During injury time, Manchester United counterattacked wildly and surpassed the score again at the last moment. Manchester United attacked quickly, Yin Jun's pass passed through Bolton's defense. Ronaldo quickly crossed the ball from Yin Jun on the right side and made a cross from the bottom. Alan Smith headed the ball to the top, which was blocked by Bolton's goalkeeper, but Berryon, who appeared as a substitute, scored a close-range shot.

In the end, Manchester United struggled to win Bolton with a score of 3:2 and continued to rank third, second only to Arsenal, which won five consecutive games and Chelsea with 4 wins and 1 draw.

In the middle of the week, the Champions League group stage started, and Manchester United is away from Ligue 1 Lyon.

This is a popular direct conversation between the two major qualifiers in Group D.

Because the Double Red Club will be held next Monday night, Ferguson has some strength in this game. Yin Jun did not start, but instead sat on the bench.

Manchester United encountered huge difficulties in the first half. The team was unable to open the situation in offense, and there were problems with the defense, conceding two goals in the 35th and 45th minutes.

Entering the second half, Manchester United strengthened the offense, and Lyon seemed to be ready. They strengthened their defense and the players' interceptions became even more fierce.

However, Manchester United quickly chased two goals in a row and tied the score.

In the 56th minute, Giggs launched an attack on the right. He passed the ball to Ronaldo with his skillful left foot, who passed the ball to Van Nie who had been waiting for a long time. The Dutch shooter immediately sent the ball into the opponent's goal, and Manchester United chased the score to 1:2.

In the 61st minute, Keane intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed the ball to Ronaldo on the right. The Portuguese first drifted past a defender and then made a cross. Fanny was near the edge of the small penalty area and pushed the ball into the net. The score on the field became 2:2.

……………………

The game then reached a deadlock. Ferguson replaced Jemba with Yin Jun just after 70 minutes of the game.

The substitution of the old Lord expressed his strong desire to score three points, but after Yin Jun appeared, he was blocked by two defensive midfielders of Lyon, Ghanaian Essin and Mali's Mohamed Diyala, and did not gain any advantage.

In the end, the score of 2:2 was maintained until the end of the game, and both sides scored one point.

This is a result that neither party is willing to see, but it is also a result that both parties can barely end.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Manchester United not having much time to consider this result. Because just five days later, Manchester United will usher in the first Double Red Club of the new season.

Liverpool has changed a lot this season. First of all, their number one star, Golden Boy Irving transferred to Real Madrid in the summer and became the seventh superstar of the Galaxy battleship built by Florentino.

The star who was trained in his own youth training left the team and left at an extremely low price (8 million pounds), which made Liverpool fans feel like they were being sentenced.

Although Irving has lost, Liverpool's recruitment strength this summer is the most powerful. First, Liverpool's coach was replaced by Espanyol Benitez. Following this, Spanish midfielder Xavi Alonso bought from La Liga team Real Sociedad, winger Luis Garcia dug from Barcelona, ​​and Gibril Cice from Ligue 1 Auxerre. These three players alone cost 31 million pounds!

Manchester United naturally dare not neglect the Liverpool team, which has changed its starting lineup.
