Chapter 597 Hope
This goal greatly hit Manchester United's morale, and it can also be said to confirm Ferguson's various uneasiness before the game, that is, the player's condition is sluggish, and the opponent will likely catch the opportunity to create murderous intent. The goal just now can be said to have nothing to do with the head coach's arrangement of troops. It is entirely the result of the players being too nervous on the court. Both of them are eager to clear the ball, which leads to lack of good communication and coordination between each other, which instead leads to conflict.
No one can do anything about this situation in the team. After all, the game state is too elusive and it is difficult to control it as you think.
After conceding the ball, Yin Jun kept comforting his teammates and called on everyone to continue to work hard.
In today's game, because veterans such as Keane, Giggs, Gary Neville and Scholes were absent, Yin Jun wore the Manchester United captain's armband for the first time.
As for Manchester United's starting lineup today, Yin Jun's qualifications are relatively old, second only to Sylvester, with Weiss Brown and Fanny. Sylvester and Weiss Brown not having enough influence in the team. Fanny is not a good captain, so Ferguson finally decided to let the 20-year-old Yin Jun wear the captain's armband.
After re-teletting, Yin Jun performed more actively.
Manchester United quickly got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt and quickly passed to the penalty area through tactical cooperation. Yin Jun got a chance at the back point, but he missed slightly when he kicked the ball.
Then, when Ronaldo took the ball in the middle, he was knocked down by Lille's Cameroon midfielder Macon, and the referee gave Lille a yellow card in the midfield.
This free kick did not create a threat and was directly saved by Lill goalkeeper.
……………………
The first half ended quickly, neither side scored a second goal and entered the intermission with a 1:1 score.
After a fifteen-minute break, the second half continued. Manchester United continued to lead the offense and frequently created threats, but they were always one step away from the goal.
Until the 77th minute, Yin Jun pulled to the right. When he received a pass from Rooney, he turned around and cut inward, and then suddenly passed the ball to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.
After passing the ball, Rooney quickly inserted it along the right side and chased the ball.
Lille's left defender Taforeu felt a little difficult when facing Rooney, especially when he saw Rooney catch up with the ball in front of the baseline, he rushed forward. But unexpectedly, Rooney suddenly dunked the ball, blocked Taforeu with his body, and dribbled the ball from the baseline and entered the penalty area, which completely collapsed Lille's entire defensive system.
Yin Jun has been waiting for Rooney to bring the ball in, and he believes that his teammates have such strength.
This is a trust!
On the football field, if you can't trust your teammates, you don't have to play the game anymore.
So, when he saw Rooney dribbling into the penalty area from the baseline, Yin Jun quickly followed.
Rooney returned to the front of the small penalty area, Yin Jun slapped the horse and easily pushed the ball from the inside of his foot. Lille's goalkeeper flew to save, but the ball still drilled into the goal from under him.
2:1!
……………………
"The ball is in!!!"
"Scoring twice!"
"Yin Jun! The great Yin Jun!"
"This is so unbelievable!"
...
After scoring the goal, Yin Jun turned around and rushed towards Rooney, holding his teammate's hand, and the two rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.
"This is an assist from another talented star in Manchester United, Rooney, to Yin Jun. Judging from the slow motion replay, Yin Jun and Rooney have a very tacit understanding of the cooperation. When the side was divided, Rooney understood the side of the trap, and then broke through Taforeu from the bottom line to demonstrate Rooney's outstanding personal ability."
"It should be said that the cooperation between the two young players this time still allows us to see Manchester United's hope."
"Yin Jun calmly kicked the ball and once again surpassed Manchester United."
……………………
Manchester United's goal greatly reduced Lille's sharpness.
The subsequent game completely entered the rhythm of Manchester United's defensive counterattack. Lille also put up a big push and began to counterattack wildly, but Manchester United still left a counterattack point like Fanny's in the frontcourt, which made Lille play very differently and it was still difficult to get what he wanted.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Lille 2:1 with Yin Jun's double score, and struggled to win four consecutive wins in the group.
At the same time, in another game in Group D, Benfica lost 0:1 to Villarreal at home.
After 4 rounds of group stages, the situation in Group D is as follows:
Manchester United ranked first with 4 wins, 12 points, Villarreal ranked 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss, 5 points, ranking second, Benfica ranked third with 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses, 4 points, Lille ranked last in the group with 1 draw, 3 losses.
Since there are only 2 rounds left in the group stage, Manchester United is leading Villarreal 7 points ahead of second-place Villarreal and 8 points ahead of third-place Benfica, so Manchester United has already advanced from the group and locked in first place in the group.
Manchester United is also the first team to advance to the knockout stage!
Yin Jun, who scored twice, also ranked first in the Champions League scorer list with 5 goals.
……………………
A team that had just suffered a crushing defeat in the league and was caught in internal and external troubles, actually qualified for two rounds in the Champions League group stage, which was something no one expected.
When you review Manchester United's game, you will find that Manchester United does not have much advantage on the court, but with Yin Jun's super-knowing ability to grasp the opportunity, Manchester United can still defeat their opponents smoothly.
This is in sharp contrast to the match between Manchester United and Middlesbrough last weekend. In that game, Manchester United occupied a large number of ball possessions, but they were unable to convert the ball possessions into victory. The midfield could not provide strong support to the front line, which made it difficult for forward players such as Van Nicht to get scoring opportunities. In addition, the unstable defense ultimately led to Manchester United's most painful defeat in recent years.
Everyone can see that Yin Jun plays a role in this, but after the game, Yin Jun said in an interview with reporters that it is not easy for Manchester United to win. It is due to the efforts of each player that he won a victory, not his own contribution.
Although Yin Jun was modest and pushed the credit for winning the game to his teammates and coaches, he was still praised by the British media and fans after the game.
In the new season, Yin Jun continues to perform well. He has scored 12 goals for Manchester United in the Premier League and Champions League matches, and also sent 5 assists.
This season, in addition to one League Cup game, Manchester United played 15 games in the league and the Champions League, and Yin Jun played 14 of them, and during this period, Manchester United's record was 12 wins and 2 draws. In the only game that Yin Jun did not play, Manchester United lost 1:4 at the Riverside Stadium.
This shows how important Yin Jun is to this Manchester United team!
