No. 130 Recreation

Jonker was the talk of the town after the 7-0 victory, and with eight goals so far, he has topped the Premier League scorers' charts, leaving all rivals behind him, and his fine form has sent tremors across Europe.

And at this time, the European giants are most grateful to Manchester United owner Glazer Jr., if he hadn't taken Junk away from AC Milan, then, now the new season of the Champions League is in full swing, and they are the most afraid!

The reason is also very simple, since the Americans borrowed money to buy Manchester United, people from all walks of life who support Manchester United have complained about the entire Glazer family, and they have not stopped, and it is not news that the stingy Yankees are stingy, everyone says so, the arrival of Jonk has reversed this qiē, coupled with the current good state, finally some of them have been slightly reversed, and the pressure on the entire Glazer family is also a little less.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary from this is Manchester United, in terms of overseas market share, Manchester United has become the undisputed number one in the world today, with club statistics, in less than two months alone, Manchester United online store and fan stores in Asia, sales have increased by as much as four times compared to previous years.

It is fair to say that the Asian market is catching up with the traditional European market in an all-round way.

With Jonk and Nike's Asia strategy further unfolding, Manchester United will usher in another peak of growth.

Of course, after this game, Jonk also received the award of the best player of the first month of the Premier League season, and the award of best coach was also won by Manchester United, and Ferguson was awarded the best coach. Although, in the eyes of many, there is no doubt that the Scottish head coach has won this award.

But Jonker's award is even more unquestionable, and there are goals scored every game. With assists, such a player is simply an alien.

Coincidentally, the Manchester Guardian is also singing the praises of Jonker, with the headline: Who will stop this alien!

I don't know if it was the Manchester Guardian who defeated Jonker's character, or if the Premier League's most famous 'best of the month' spell was back in effect.

A week later, in the ninth round of the league, Manchester United played Wigan Athletic at home, and United scored in the opening kick-off. continued to win three cities in a row, and finally won the opponent with a score of 4-0, but the report card handed over by Jonk was zero goals and zero assists.

Jonk was also dumb in this game. Although he instigated two of United's goals, his red-hot streak of scoring at least one goal in every game since the start of the Premier League campaign came to an end.

But. Manchester United have three points. They also secured second place in the standings, two points behind first-place Arsenal.

After this round of the league, the next round of the league, the Red Devils Manchester United will face Aston Villa away.

A week later, he visited another Premier League side in Birmingham.

After Martin O'Neal arrived at Villa, the cost of buying players reached around 26 million last season, and the first transaction of the season was 4 million, breaking the 30 million mark in one fell swoop. The investment is for West Ham United striker Haywood on a three-year contract. Then the club continued to sign West Ham's second player - midfield star and England B team member Leo Cork at a high price of 7.5 million.

Two strong men in midfield arrived. It is bound to trigger the departure of some people, due to the large number of Villa's first-team players. With a wave of O'Neal's stick, nearly a dozen players were forced to leave.

Up front, Angel was sold by the New York Red Bulls with one year left on his contract, and O'Neal has no nostalgia for the veteran who lost his place after Christmas. And the 34-year-old Sutton chose to retire, bidding farewell to his ups and downs in his career.

O'Neal's changes in midfield have been striking, even for a loyal veteran like Lee Hendry, who is not to his liking. Northern Ireland fullback Stephen Davies, who was squeezed out of his place by Petrov, moved to Fulham. Priced at around £4 million, the player was named Villa's Player of the Year in the 0506 season, but was forced to leave after a season of bad luck.

Due to the arrival of Leo Coke and the rise of newcomer Craig Gardner, the club cut three backs in a row, and terminated the contract with Jemba Demba, Lee Hendry, who only made one appearance last season, went to Sheffield United on a free transfer, and McCann, who was the main player last season, went to Bolton Wanderers for 1 million.

The 23-year-old central defender Legwell, who worked at Villa for 8 years, still went to Birmingham for 2 million, and the 26-year-old Samuel, a celebrity in the Oliley era, has experienced a life experience from the absolute main force to the sub-main force to basically being abandoned, and only transferred to the "refugee shelter" Bolton this season. Finally, Aaron Hughes, who is also a celebrity under O'Leary's account, became a chicken rib when he got to O'Neill's side, and he went to Fulham for 1 million. It has been reported that the countdown to the departure of full-back Mark Delaney is also underway.

The departure of a large number of players did not affect the overall construction of Villa, after all, a year before O'Neill became the owner, there were far more people in than out, and this time it was just to seek a balance in the team (about 23 people). As O'Neill has stressed that he still needs to buy players in the future, the line-up at the beginning of the league will continue to change, and a 3-0 win over Inter Milan has also revived the ambition of Villa fans.

In terms of goalkeepers, due to Sorensen's temporary injury, local goalkeeper Stevout-Taylor is expected to be temporarily corrected, from playing for Arsenal to the current ten years, Taylor's biggest problem is that he has too little league experience, only 56 games, and most of them are low-level competitions, so the probability of using Taylor to play the whole season is not very high.

At the back, the current main line-up has been consolidated due to the removal of a large number of fringe players, with Melberg, Laursen and Cahill being members of the central defensive line, and the left and right wing-backs of Bouma and Laursen (cameos) also confirmed in the warm-ups. However, due to the current lack of manpower reserves in the Villa first team, except for Barry who can return to play central defence and youngster O'Hanlon can play left-back, there are only some reformed midfielders who can be pulled back to play at the back. For example, Gardner can switch to central defender, etc. If there is a loss of main personnel, O'Neill can not change many tricks.

In midfield, Petrov's table is reassuring. His performance is as good as his time with the national team, but Ashley Young's left flank is far from the desired goal, and the club can only be patient, after all, Young's value is too expensive, and giving up easily is easy to attract bad criticism.

The arrival of Leo Coke has increased the strength of the two midfielders, and he is the partner of Barry. It can further explode Barry's inexhaustible offensive momentum, but the two seem to be too prominent, to the point where they can't be replaced. So how to adjust if one of them is injured is also a realistic problem for O'Neal to consider, although Gardner and Maloney are versatile, but they do not have the ability to grasp the overall situation for the time being.

Up front, Agbonlahor has secured a starting position. The other candidate will be between Haywood, Moore and Carew. Judging from the warm-up game, in addition to Heywood having to slowly adapt, O'Neal gave Karui and Moore a chance, and who to choose at that time depends on O'Neal's wisdom and use of soldiers.

On the trip to the United States, Villa's warm-up results were quite impressive, reminiscent of last season's league trend, at least at the beginning of this season. The team should get off to a good start.

However, there are still too many uncertain factors in the team, although O'Neill has figured out a set of main teams. But this set of teams is too prominent, and if you hurt one person, there is a possibility that it will affect the overall situation. The successive removal of some of Villa's old team members has helped to accelerate the integration of the team, but it has also destroyed some harmony factors, and the bench thickness has not been strengthened.

In addition, Villa's obsession with Reocock is like last season's Ashley Young, if it doesn't work, it will become a sky-high joke, and the current Villa, if it doesn't go well, it is a copy of Newcastle, if it goes well, at most it is Chelsea during the Ranieri period. If you look at it this way, Villa's results will have a lot of space, but the energy level of the players is not up to the Chelsea of the Ranieri era, according to O'Neill's calm and more than tactical thinking, the team's record of about ten is the bottom limit, if you can play well, rush into the top eight or even qualify for the League Cup, it is not impossible, of course, the premise is that the top management has to spend a lot of money to buy people, to ensure that the team can have enough manpower to launch an impact throughout the season.

After nine rounds of the league, Villa are in eighth place in the standings!

The last time United lost to Villa was in the first game of the 1995/1996 season, and that game is remembered because Ferguson sent the 'kids' of Paul Scholes, the Neville brothers and Bart in one fell swoop. Hansen's famous quote "You can't win anything with children".

The years are unforgiving, and in a blink of an eye, Scholes has become a veteran, but Manchester United has once again sent a few children on the field: Anderson and Nani, two youngsters purchased in the summer, form half of the midfield, with Pique behind him in the key position of central defender, and the newcomer in the front field Jonker is only 22 years old, and this time the "children" took away from Villa Park a landslide victory, and they also played Manchester United's best game this season.

First of all, this is thanks to the fact that Jonker, Nani and Anderson, who were bought by Manchester United in the summer, are finally integrated into the team.

Anderson and Nani played in the UEFA Youth Championship and Copa America in the summer, but did not participate in United's full pre-season training, and the duo were slow to get into form at the start of the season and did not bring a corresponding impact.

However, as they trained and played more time with the team, the genius and creativity of the two Latin players began to merge into United's overall attack, and after a jerky start to the season, the team's offensive finally began to explode in the last two games. Anderson's passing was impressive, Tevez was killing up front, and Nani was not steady enough to make key breakthroughs and pass assists.

Several people have become more and more tacit with the original Rooney, C. Ronaldo and others, and Manchester United's attack line has added more creative force out of thin air on the basis of the original fast and fluid. Last season, Manchester United's frontcourt was mainly driven by Cristiano Ronaldo, and this game Cristiano Ronaldo spent most of his time on the sidelines, Manchester United's attack is still full of sparks, and it will be more difficult for Manchester United to defend from now on.

And Pique and Simpson represent the team's youth tradition. The team's large-scale injuries at the back made the two reserve team youngsters have to urgently put out the fire, and the two handed over a satisfactory answer to the game against Wigan.

In the last game, Pique, who was a centre-back, opened up at right-back, because Ferguson was not yet comfortable putting the newcomer directly in the middle. But when O'Shea was also injured. Pique had to play back into the middle and his face clearly boosted Ferguson's confidence. Against Villa, Pique played at centre-back in the last game and was satisfactory defensively. His aerial superiority in attack was not inferior to that of Widzic, and it was his header in first-half stoppage time that led to Rio Ferdinand's follow-up shot.

After the Carabao Cup exit, Ferguson was very disappointed with the youth team players, and a large number of youngsters were subsequently loaned out: Lee. Martin went to Plymouth; Gibson went to Wolves; Bardsley went to Sheffield United; Enksley went to Porterville. But the tables of survivors Pique and Simpson may have somewhat changed Ferguson's mind. In Friday's press conference, Alex Ferguson made it clear that United will not buy anyone during this year's winter break because the youngsters on loan will return, and the depth of United's current squad is enough to satisfy Ferguson.

That's the difference from the 1995 game against Villa, when the kids were replaced. And this time it's just a test of squad depth.

With the exception of Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, most of United's main players are in their playing years, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are even younger. The 20-year-old's task this season has been to help Ryan Giggs, and although he has one goal and five assists, Nani still needs to improve a lot.

The 19-year-old Anderson was a talented player who was brought in a year earlier to defend against other strong teams, if it weren't for injury. Scholes didn't need his help for the time being.

Van der Sar's successor has already been prepared. It's just that Foster sees that Van der Sar has not shown signs of decline for a while, and is considering another loan after recovering from injury.

A 4-1 away win allowed Manchester United to regain the charm of the league dominance, and the rhythm of Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League has also begun to take shape.

It stands to reason that Cristiano Ronaldo should play for Manchester United: it was supposed to be his 200th appearance for the Red Devils. It's hard to play for Portugal, but Rooney also went to Moscow; What's more, he has a lot of experience in playing Villa Ronaldo, who has contributed 5 goals and scored last season alone...... The only explanation? It can only be said that Ferguson has full confidence in Tevez's current form. Therefore, the Portuguese youngster was rested for the Champions League.

Jonker lived up to his lord's trust, even though his name was not on the scoring charts. But his combination with Wayne Rooney contributed at least two goals, as well as a penalty and two red cards.

During the international break, Jonk did not return home due to a cold, but stayed in the UK to wait for the virus to leave.

Despite not playing for Portugal, coach Scolari was categorical: "My number 25 shirt belongs to Jonker. There are a lot of different styles of players in this position, but I always get my favorite players out and Jonk will be back soon. ”

Once the game began, Jonker's pressing forced goalkeeper Carson to make a foolish mistake in the fourth minute to receive a return pass from a defender and win a free-kick in the box for United. After Villa took the lead, in the 27th minute, Jonker and Wayne Rooney played a beautiful one-two into the box, but Jonker's shot was blocked by Carson with his body.

United finally scored in the 36th minute, and the goal was also instigated by Jonk to Paul Scholes, who then passed the ball to Nani, and the Portuguese youngster's cross was slotted in by Wayne Rooney. And Wayne Rooney's second goal was full of Jonker's inspiration: in the 44th minute, Jonker attracted Villa's heavy reinforcement on the left and crossed to the unmarked Rooney in the middle, who scored a brace with ease.

The third goal? Although Pique and Rio Ferdinand created the goal, the corner that created the chance was created after Jonk gave Nani the ball. In the second half, Jonker also made the penalty that led to Carson's red card. If Jonker didn't contribute anything to the fourth goal, it was only because he had been replaced by Alex Ferguson two minutes earlier.

After the game, when talking about the reason for the arrival of Manchester United's goal flood, the lord deliberately named Jonker, "It's a bit surprising that we couldn't score so many goals before, but you have to take into account that Jonker has just joined the team, and Wayne Rooney has been out for four games due to injury!" Do you still buy people in winter? With Tevez already adapted, do I still need to strengthen myself? ”

Manchester United defender Dennis Brown. Owen said: "It's true that they both like to dribble and are very similar in terms of getting the ball out and running, but they fit the style of play at Manchester United. Manchester United are always fast-paced, and both players are calm in front of goal. If you add Cristiano Ronaldo, this holy trinity will be the core of Manchester United's attack in the next few years, and the future is bright! ”

The first team had a game yesterday and the next day's training starts in the afternoon. When Jonker arrived at the training base, there was only the reserve team training at the base, and most of the players in the reserve team also knew the Manchester United no.25, who always likes to practice. With a wave of his hand, it was a greeting before Jonk began training.

Near noon, there were two players in this field, Ronaldo and Rooney, and these three became a training trio, of course, Jonk was the one who practiced the most, and then the Portuguese. The second is Lu Xiaopang, although Ronaldo and Rooney's off-field life has been much more exciting than Jonker's recently, the two of them are not sloppy at all in training. I've been training very hard, and it's completely two kinds of things on and off the field.

"Where to relax at night?" After the three of them finished training, Jonk rarely took the initiative to say such a thing.

"What's wrong today? Goal change character? Rooney said and looked Jork up and down exaggeratedly, as if to get acquainted again.

"Haha. Wayne, you don't know anything about him. Changing personalities? Who believes! Ronaldo laughed and leaned back and forth, and only finished intermittently.

"Haha, Boss Jonker! Let him lead the team tonight, you pay, and I'll help you spend! Rooney pointed at Ronaldo, glanced back at Jonker, and couldn't close his mouth after speaking.

"Attention, confidentiality. Meet at my villa tonight! "Cristiano Ronaldo is very experienced and has no intention of going out at all. It's done at home.

During the afternoon training, the three of them kept muttering something, especially Rooney, who always spoke mysteriously, and at a glance they knew that what they were talking about was not related to training.

The assistant coach in charge of training originally wanted to remind Rooney, but after thinking about it, the game had just ended, and the amount was enough, so it didn't matter if it was easy at all, so he didn't say anything.

In the evening, the three of them still practiced, but the training ended an hour early, and the three of them drove home together, and the biggest advantage of these three people playing together was that the mansions of the three were in Cheshire, especially the mansions of Rooney and Jonk were very close to each other, which was convenient for movement.

By the time Jonker went home first, and then went to Ronaldo's mansion, the loud music inside had already sounded, and there were reporters waiting outside the door.

"Oh my God, how did the reporter know!" Jonk found that there were reporters who didn't know how to drive through the door.

In fact, there have always been reporters squatting outside Ronaldo's mansion, and they will be photographed when they go out to play, so it is better to play in their own home, at least you can't see how your reporter is outside, so Ronaldo is now playing at home.

There are others, Nani and Anderson are already drinking with Ronaldo, and one of them has a Bloody Mary cocktail in his hand, and he finds Jonk coming over and raising a glass together.

Jonk knew at a glance that the three of them must have often played together, and it is estimated that tonight's party was arranged by Nani and Anderson, because Ronaldo Ronaldo has been practicing with Jonker, that is, the kung fu of going home separately, with all the personnel, it must have been arranged by Nani and Anderson after the training.

Rooney soon arrived, and before the official start, the other four raised their glasses, "A glass to the boss!" Of course, the treat has a bit of a role.

After the first and last glass of wine, it's time for free time, and there are already many beautiful women in the backyard, pool and mansion, waiting for you to solve it yourself.

"It's crazy TMD!" Jonke was the first to participate in this kind of group gathering, but I didn't expect this gang to usually look quite honest, and it was really crazy to play, and I wanted to relax, although it was a little easy to pick, but this way can really enjoy the fun of hunting.

Jonk was not in a hurry, slowly looking for his favorite prey, and the others could still see the figure somewhere, and when they saw mm, they ran faster than the other.

In the pool in the backyard, Rooney is only left with a short model, and he is in the middle of a bunch of beautiful MM streams!

In the screening room, you can only see Nani's small white teeth are extremely conspicuous, is she watching a movie and eating grapes?

Anderson didn't know where he had gone, and even after the party was over, Jonk didn't see him again.

What about the owner of the mansion, C Ronaldo? There has been an abnormal noise in the instrument room, and it has always been a mystery what tricks the Portuguese can play in the instrument room! (To be continued......)
