After narrowly defeating Pharmacy in the away game and winning Manchester United's first victory in Germany in 36 years, Manchester United flew back to Manchester overnight and then began preparations for the next game.

As for the criticism of Ferguson and Manchester United that appeared in the media, Sir Alex did not take it seriously at all. Anyway, the 3 points that Manchester United got were real, and the two frontcourt generals Ruud Ruud and Yin Jun also got

With enough rest time, I can successfully play in the weekend game at Charlton.

Although Yin Jun and Ruud van Nistelrooy were replaced in advance in the middle of last week, they did not appear in the starting lineup in this game. Manchester United's midfielder is Beckham, Butt, Scholes and Giggs.

Old combination.

At the Valley Stadium in Greenwich, the Manchester United team performed a little tired. This is the sequelae of high-intensity and high-density matches in a consecutive week of double matches.

In the first half, Manchester United did not play well. Instead of failing to score Charlton's goal, they conceded a goal at the end of the first half. The goal was scored by Charlton's Danish midfielder Klaus.

Jensen.

At halftime, Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half, especially the starting performance of Butt, who performed very poorly in the game.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Yin Jun was standing on the sidelines. He will replace Bart.

………………

Manchester United's substitutions quickly showed results.

In the 54th minute, Yin Jun dribbled the ball in the middle of the frontcourt, passed all the way, and passed the ball to Giggs on the left rib of the penalty area. Manchester United's No. 11 sent a cross, causing chaos in the Charlton penalty area. During the chaos,

Scholes, who had just returned from injury, took a shot near the penalty area line and broke Charlton's goal, helping Manchester United equalize the score.

The equalizer obviously did not satisfy Ferguson. He continued to make substitutions and adjustments. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who still had a minor injury, came on with an injury in the 56th minute of the game, replacing Forlan who was in poor condition.

After two substitutions and adjustments, Manchester United gradually took control of the situation on the field and formed a comprehensive suppression trend against Charlton.

Charlton is not a weak team in the Premier League. Since returning to the Premier League in the summer of 2000, they have ranked 9th and 14th in the Premier League in the past two seasons respectively. They are a typical mid-table team in the Premier League.

The mid-range teams in the Premier League all have a very obvious characteristic, that is, they are not afraid of anyone, even if their opponent is Manchester United, the Premier League hegemon.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Charlton, who was unwilling to score only one point at home, launched a counterattack around 70 minutes into the game, hoping to break through Manchester United's goal.

But this Manchester United team is not easy either. In the 71st minute, Manchester United intercepted Charlton's pass in the backcourt and Scholes quickly passed the ball to Yin Jun.

Manchester United counterattacked quickly. Yin Jun broke through with the ball and moved the ball to the right near the center circle, passing it to Beckham. Beckham once again moved in a wide range and accurately found Giggs who was attacking on the left.

Giggs quickly moved forward along the left wing and received a pass from Beckham almost parallel to the penalty area line. He dribbled the ball inside and took off after passing the Charlton right back who was guarding him.

Shoot.

Giggs chose to hit the near corner, but his shot hit the post and bounced off the baseline.

………………

Three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback. Yin Jun once again passed the ball to the right, looking for Beckham who was advancing, but the ball was knocked out of the sideline by a Charlton defensive player.

O'Shea quickly sent a sideline ball. Ruud van Nistelrooy received the sideline ball and broke into the right side of the penalty area to cross. Giggs passed the goalkeeper and pushed into the empty goal with his left foot 6 meters in front of the goal.

2:1, Manchester United overtook the score!

Although the score was behind, Charlton did not give up and continued to attack Manchester United. The two sides fought sparks flying on the field, which caused bursts of cheers and exclamations from more than 20,000 fans of both sides in the stands.

However, the score on the field could not be changed again.

In the rapid transition between offense and defense, the game time passed quickly, and injury time arrived inadvertently.

Charlton launched a final crazy counterattack towards Manchester United's goal, hoping to equalize the score. However, their attack failed to break through Manchester United's goal. Instead, Manchester United once again launched a quick counterattack.

This time, Charlton's luck was not as good as last time. Yin Jun made a long pass to the right during the counterattack, Giggs broke into the penalty area and passed, and Ruud Ruud scored with a header at the back post.

3:1, Manchester United sealed the victory!

After this victory, Manchester United's points reached 14 points and their ranking rose to fifth in the league. However, there is still a 6-point gap between them and Arsenal at the top.

………………

In midweek, Manchester United continued to play in the Champions League and faced Olympiakos, the third opponent in this group, at Old Trafford.

The game took place at 2:45 a.m. on October 2, Beijing time. During the National Day holiday, many domestic fans stayed up late to watch the game.

Yin Jun continued to start the game, but Ruud van Nistelrooy was on the injured list in this game.

Olympiacos is an old acquaintance of Manchester United. The two teams also met in the first stage of the group stage last season, but Manchester United doubled their opponents in two rounds, with scores 2:0 and 3:0 respectively.

In this game, the visiting team failed to pose any threat to Manchester United's defense in the first half. The left wing of Manchester United where Giggs and Yin Jun were located became a fatal threat to Olympiacos.

Giggs enjoyed the pleasure of being on the court. From the first whistle of referee Besier, he kicked the Greeks on the left and couldn't take a breath. Yin Jun also connected the side with ease from the left position of the midfield.

.

Although Manchester United has been exerting strong pressure on the opponent on the left, the first goal came from the right. Solskjaer dribbled the ball on the right and passed it back to Scholes, who passed it beautifully to Giger.

The Welshman opened the scoring for Manchester United in the 19th minute.

Just after 1 minute, Manchester United had a penalty kick opportunity. The visiting team's goalkeeper Dimitris knocked down Yin Jun in the penalty area with the ball into the penalty area, but the referee did not make a penalty.

In the 26th minute, Yin Jun played a one-on-one with Beckham, and then volleyed a goal from the penalty area. It is difficult for any player to display this skill skillfully in the game, so he welcomed all the home team fans at the scene.

of applause.

The visiting team was angered by Manchester United's performance in the first half. The reckless Ze Elias was sent off with a direct red card by the referee for a two-footed tackle on Yin Jun in stoppage time.

Although Yin Jun was not injured, it still scared the Chinese fans in front of the TV into cold sweats.

After a beautiful 45 minutes, the second half of the game seemed a bit mediocre. It was not until the 67th minute that Giggs finally made the 67,000 Old Trafford crowd excited again. He passed defender Anatokaki on the left baseline.

Then he shot the ball into the near corner.

In the 77th minute, Scholes assisted Solskjaer and scored the fourth goal to lock the score at 4:0.
Chapter completed!
