Their next game will be at 3 a.m. on October 8, Beijing time, in the middle of the Champions League group stage against Olympiacos, giving them a full 6-day break!
This is really rare for Manchester United, which has been fighting on multiple fronts recently.
………………
While everyone at Manchester United is cherishing the rare recuperation time, 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.
Five weeks later, another Chinese derby will be played. This time Yin Jun will play. His Manchester United will face Everton played by Li Tie at the Old Trafford Stadium.
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 also has a very stable position in the team, 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.
All games.
However, since Yin Jun made his debut at Manchester United, his performance has been better than that of Li Tie and Sun Jihai. This may have a lot to do with his position. After all, Yin Jun plays more as an offensive player, which is beneficial to
He put up good game numbers.
With the support of continuous outstanding performances, Yin Jun also gained the trust of Ferguson and established a firm foothold in the Manchester United midfield filled with strong players. He has played in the last 5 games of Manchester United 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 players from other countries have performed so well.
Of the three East Asian teams participating in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the Chinese team had the worst performance. Both Japan and South Korea entered the knockout rounds. Japan stopped in the quarterfinals, and South Korea even entered the semifinals. They were formed with the Chinese team that returned home in the group stage.
A sharp contrast.
However, the performance of Chinese players in the World Cup still won the recognition of many European teams. After the World Cup, many Chinese players embarked on the road to study abroad. Among them, the Premier League became the favorite place for Chinese players to go.
Four Chinese players have joined the Premier League team. In addition to Yin Jun, Sun Jihai and Li Tie, the Chinese team's defense general Li Weifeng has also joined Everton on loan, where Li Tie plays.
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 match between Manchester United and Everton received more attention than the original double blue battle between Manchester City and Everton is not only because Yin Jun and Manchester United are more famous in the country and have more fans, but also because
The two are likely to go head-to-head in the game.
At Everton, Li Tie has always played as a defensive midfielder. However, Yin Jun, who was originally a right midfielder, played more as an offensive midfielder at Manchester United.
When the two meet on the court, they will definitely go head-to-head. Especially since this game is Manchester United's home court, they will definitely attack aggressively. By then, fans will often see the duel between the two on the court.

The match between Manchester United and Everton is the evening match of the ninth round of the Premier League. The match time is Monday at 8 pm local time. In China, it is the last night of the National Day Golden Week.

Many fans even went to bed early, set their alarm clocks, and got up to watch the game when it started. Because when the game ended, it was almost 5 o'clock in the morning in China. For most places in the country, this time
It's almost dawn, and after watching the game, I'll start making breakfast and then go to work.
In the Chinese Derby between Manchester City and Everton, although Sun Jihai and Li Tie both started, Li Tie left the field early due to injury in the 25th minute, making the "Chinese Derby" that fans wanted to see.
It ended hastily, leaving everyone feeling uninterested.
Now in this game, both Li Tie and Yin Jun are in excellent condition, and they must be able to spend more time together.
………………
Compared with the so-called "Chinese Derby" that has been highly hyped in China, in England, the duel between the two is not very exciting. On the one hand, it is because the relationship between the two clubs is good; on the other hand, it is because the two teams
The relationship between the two coaches is better. Ferguson and Moyes, who are also from Scotland, can be said to have been friends for many years.
In the history of the competition between the two sides after entering the Premier League era, Everton has lagged behind. In the Premier League, Everton can be called Manchester United's point-delivering boy.
Since winning the FA Cup final in 1995, the "Toffees" have failed to win 14 games against Manchester United. As far as the Premier League alone is concerned, since the start of the Premier League in August 1992, Everton has visited the "Theater of Dreams" ten times as a guest.

Ferdinand appears.
Ferguson deployed a highly offensive 4141 lineup at home. Gary Neville, Blanco, O'Shea and Sylvester formed the defense line. In front of them was the full-time defensive midfielder Bart, and on the forward line, Giger
