Chapter 107 The new national team

As Yin Jun's performance became more and more outstanding at Manchester United, he quickly became the darling of Old Trafford and became the favorite player of the Red Devils.

Some Manchester United fans said Yin Jun would be the next Scholes because he was as low-key as Scholes and was good at both offense and defense; some Manchester United fans said Yin Jun would be the next Giggs because he could break through lightning on the wing like Giggs; of course, more people said Yin Jun would be the next Beckham because he not only had super offensive ability, a superb free kick, and a handsome appearance like Beckham...

In the eyes of Manchester United coach Ferguson, Yin Jun originally looked like Beckham because he originally introduced Yin Jun as Beckham's substitute. Later, he felt that Yin Jun was like Keane because he not only had good offense and defense, but also had leadership; but now the old Lord thinks that Yin Jun is more like Cantona.

Cantona is a legend of Manchester United. Therefore, after Cantona left Manchester United, fans all said that Manchester United needed a "new Cantona". Some said that Beckham was the new Cantona because they all wore No. 7 jerseys; some said that it was Keane because they all had the leadership temperament and had the same bad temper; some said that it was Fanny, because after Cantona retired, he was the best foreign aid... But in Ferguson's view, only Yin Jun's characteristics on the court are the most similar to Cantona.

In an interview with The Sun, Ferguson said: "I thought he would be Beckham because his position on the court is very similar to David and his offensive ability is also very strong. But now I want to emphasize that he has a more reasonable reason to be like Cantona. Although he plays in the midfield and has the skills and abilities of midfielders, he is even a killer. This season, he has scored 18 goals in 28 games. He is a child who doesn't like talking and likes a peaceful life. I rarely see him accepting media interviews. However, his performance on the court proves how outstanding he is."

After playing in the 4th round of the FA Cup with West Ham United, Manchester United had 6 days to repair their next game on the afternoon of February 1st.

During this period, Manchester United originally had a Premier League match, which was on Wednesday night. However, because Manchester United had just played on Sunday afternoon, there were another match next Saturday afternoon, and the team had played 7 games in January, Manchester United hoped to postpone the 25th round of the Premier League. After consultation with opponent Birmingham, and asking the FA and the Premier League, the game was finally postponed to the evening of February 4, mid-week.

January 31 is the New Year's Eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year, and Yin Jun's parents also came to the UK. Yin Jun originally wanted to accompany them, but because Manchester United had a away game the next afternoon, unless he wanted to miss this game, he would not want to spend the New Year with his parents at home.

Yin Jun’s parents can understand this. Yin Jun has just gained a foothold in Manchester United, and the team’s competitive pressure is quite high. After all, the one who competes with him is superstars like Beckham, Scholes, and Veron. If you are not careful, you will be at risk of losing your position.

As a man, he should naturally put his career first in the entrepreneurial stage. What's more, Ferguson was very considerate and gave Yin Jun a half-day vacation on the afternoon of the 31st, and asked Yin Jun to have the New Year's Eve dinner with his parents at home.

……………………

This afternoon, Yin Jun's house was still quite lively because Sun Jihai, who was also in Manchester, also brought his newlywed wife to Yin Jun's house, and the two families celebrated the New Year together.

Sun Jihai's wife, Sister Wang, is a fellow villager, and her family is also a member of the system, so she has some common words with Yin Jun's parents.

Sister Wang married Sun Jihai at the beginning of last year. The two had a long love relationship for a long time and had a very deep emotional foundation.

Yin Jun was talking about football with Sun Jihai, mainly about their respective situations and their respective teams.

As a Premier League team, Manchester City performed well this season and has always been in the middle of the standings. Especially in the 25th round of the Premier League two days ago, Manchester City beat the farmer Fulham 4:1 at home, with 37 points and their rankings rose to 9th. For the Premier League team, this is already a very good performance.

However, Sun Jihai's recent situation at Manchester City is not very good. Frenchman Someier, who joined Ligue 1 Bordeaux for 3.5 million pounds during the winter break, made his first appearance as the right center back. Dunn, the main player in this position, was pushed to the forward line, and Sun Jihai was therefore squeezed to the bench.

Like Sun Jihai, Li Tie, who once held the main position in the team at the beginning of the season, has also changed his situation in Everton. He has performed poorly recently and is no longer Everton's main role.

Of course, Sun Jihai and Li Tie's situation is not the worst among Chinese players studying abroad. Li Weifeng, the national team defender who played for Everton with Li Tie, has returned to China to look for opportunities because he has no place in the team.

Speaking of Li Weifeng's sad return to China, Yin Jun and Sun Jihai were also quite sad, and at the same time encouraged each other to train hard and compete well. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to return to China in disgrace like Li Weifeng.

……………………

Of course, what the two talked more was the new national team match in mid-February, especially the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the Brazil team on February 12.

This is the first game since the new Chinese team coach Ali Hahn took office. The Chinese Football Association announced the new national team roster last week.

In order to face the Brazilian team, the Football Association will also recall Chinese players who play in the European League. In addition to Yin Jun, other players include Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Yang Chen, Xie Hui and Shao Jiayi, who has recently entered the German League One.

In addition to the match with Brazil, the Chinese Football Association is also in contact with another game, the specific date is February 16, and the opponent is still in contact.

The warm-up match with Brazil is the national team gathering again after half a year. Half a year is not long, but for the players, it is also a period of not short time.

In particular, the national team also replaced the head coach, and the meritorious coach Milu left and welcomed the Dutch. Everyone had to face a new environment.

However, as players who have been more successful in studying abroad, Yin Jun and Sun Jihai are not worried about their position in the new national team. As long as Alan Han is not demented, he will probably not be without them.

Especially Yin Jun, who has performed well after joining Manchester United during the World Cup, has grown into a super star in European football and has become famous in the entire world football world. Under normal circumstances, Alihan will still use him as the core of the midfield to form a new team.
