On September 27, in the 6th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United 2:0 Bolton, Jonk scored a goal.

On October 1, the second game of the 08-09 Champions League group stage, Manchester United went to Denmark to play away from the Danish Premier League champion team Aalburg, at the Northern Energy Arena, witnessed the return of Jonker to the European stage this season, in this game, Jonk scored a goal and assisted a goal to help Manchester United beat Aalborg 3-0 away, and the other two who scored for Manchester United were Rooney and Scholes.

On October 4, in the 7th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United played away against Blackburn.

At 15:00 p.m., the game kicked off with the shouts of 31,327 fans at Ewood Park.

Jonker is undoubtedly in the starting line-up, he is in excellent form at the moment, he feels like he is in a scoring blowout, but even when he is not in form, he is still a regular in the starting line-up for Manchester United.

Although some media and experts at the time accused Ferguson of trusting and relying on Jonker too much, the old Scottish man still did not know what to do, and simply ignored those discordant voices. Now that the old man's trust has been rewarded, Jonk is quickly finding his groove.

In today's game, Rooney's partner with Jonk in the forward line is Rooney, and after the little fat man returned from suspension, the table is also very good, and Manchester United's attacking power is no longer a problem.

Manchester United's starting line-up for this game is: (442) - Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar; Centre-backs: Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic; Left-back, Patrice Evra; Right-back: O'Shea; Defenders: Michael Carrick; The two wing-backs were Fletcher and Ryan Giggs; Forward: Paul Scholes; The forwards are Jonker and Wayne Rooney.

From the start of the game, Manchester United showed a strong desire to attack. The whole team pressed hard and quickly grasped the initiative of the game. Frequently threatening Blackburn's goal.

Blackburn's table this season has not been good. It is still hovering in the relegation zone and the main problem for the team is at the back. Goals conceded in almost every game, and if it weren't for the summer transfer from Chelsea to Blackburn's Santa Cruz table, which scored five goals in six games, the team's attacking ability is okay, and the current vice-president will not be able to get Blackburn's.

Before the game, in everyone's opinion, Blackburn's much-maligned backline will face the impact of Jonker and Rooney in this game, and the prospects are not optimistic.

Blackburn Rovers defender Nelson was specially arranged by head coach Sam Allardyce for this game. asked him to keep an eye on Jonker, in the words of Allardyce during the pre-game tactical arrangement, Nelson had to intercept Jonk regardless of a qiē, and if he couldn't do it, he would tear off Jonker's pants and see how he broke through.

There is every reason to suspect that Allardyce has a particular fetish in some way......

Sam Allardyce is certainly not so sure that Nelson will be able to defend against Jork, you know, something that is difficult for a player like John Terry to do, and it is a bit difficult to count on Nelson. Even Nelson himself was a little apprehensive.

But. No one expected that Jonker's state would be so hot, and he simply had an unstoppable momentum and state.

In the 7th minute, Jonker received a pass from Scholes in front of the penalty area, and he faced Nelson's interception. Pull the ball horizontally, and then adjust it slightly, and it is directly a powerful shot. Blackburn goalkeeper Brown didn't dare to hold the ball and punched the ball out. Rooney, the little fat man, shot with his back to the goal with an upside-down golden hook. Shoot the ball into the empty goal.

1:0！

Manchester United got off to a fantastic start.

Blackburn goalkeeper Brown, who had just knocked Jonck's shot out with both fists, shook his arms in pain after getting up, and then lay down on the turf and made a substitution gesture.

The team doctor immediately entered the field, and after examination, he found something incredible, Brown's little finger was actually broken, and Blackburn's team doctor also felt a little unbelievable, could it be the injury caused when he blocked Jonck's shot just now?

However, he didn't have time to study the strange injury of his goalkeeper for the time being, the goalkeeper broke his little finger, and naturally he couldn't keep the game going, and Blackburn had to make a passive substitution shortly after the opening, replacing goalkeeper Friedel and replacing the hapless Brown.

"It's kind of incredible, and I bet Brown doesn't know how he got hurt." Lineker's mouth opened wide and he said, "I think I know why Brown is hurting, poor fellow, it must have hurt a lot." ”

Taibbi said something of dry humor that stunned everyone, "Brown must be glad he didn't kick the ball out with his head right now......"

Lineker glanced at his commentary partner, how could he not have found this guy so cruel before?

Sam Allardyce's face was very bad, he suddenly felt that today's game, bad luck, he has always believed in his hunch, and Allardyce is a very superstitious person, before the game starts, he always walks into the field with his left foot before he steps on the field, he thinks it will bring good luck to his team.

Obviously, though, luck doesn't belong to Allardyce and his Blackburn.

In the 11th minute, Carrick broke the ball from the feet of Santa Cruz in the midfield, and immediately passed an overhead ball, Jonk stopped the ball on the chest in the front court, then accelerated, forced away the defending Tugaj, and then broke through Nelson with a beautiful change of direction, let out a low roar, and fired a powerful volley near the penalty area!

This shot is very powerful, the ball speed is very fast, just came on the bench, and has not even had time to warm up Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel was shocked, and hit the ball sideways, but the ball speed is too fast, and he has not warmed up yet, his body is still very stiff, and his reaction is half a beat slower, when he falls to the ground, the football has been hung into the net from his right side with a gust of wind, and the trend is still unabated, and the net is floating high.

The ball is in! A beautiful powerful long-range shot!

Ewood Park was terrifyingly quiet, and Manchester United was already 2-0 up just 11 minutes into the game?!

Allardyce slammed his fist into the roof of the dugout. There was a clang. He found out that this game. It's long gone from his control. Suffice it to say, he doesn't see any hope of a possible comeback for Blackburn. It's disappointing for a manager to think like that, but that's exactly what it is. Manchester United today made him feel irresistible. Although he Allardyce is not a man who takes defeat lightly and is short-tempered.

After the goal, Jonker did a somersault on the spot, then ran to the north stand at Ewood Park and cheered at the stands - where the visiting fans gathered, although only more than 3,000 United fans had travelled with the team. Now the tsunami sound of the red ocean is huge!

"Jonker, who has regained his form, is a nightmare for all teams!" These are the words of Manchester United King Eric Cantona in an interview with The Squad the other day, in which he commented on his successor at Manchester United.

In the 23rd minute, Scholes' long-range shot was saved by Friedel, and Manchester United's corner kick.

Anderson came to take the corner, he put the ball at the corner and the whistle blew.

It was a tactical corner and Anderson passed the ball to Scholes. The latter struck and Carrick handed the ball to Anderson's feet again, and Anderson slammed the ball and got it up. The ball is like a powerful boomerang, with an arc, spinning towards the penalty area.

Beforehand!

In the restricted area. Nelson held Jonk tightly, but. At the moment, he felt the pressure. Jonk let out of the way, squeezing him out of the way and jumping, but Nelson couldn't even pull the strap to stop Jonker from jumping.

The head arrived, the ball arrived, Jonk shook his head with a beautiful lion, and the football turned into a beautiful rainbow and changed direction to the goal!

Friedel made a mistake in judging the ball, he chose to attack just now, and saw that the arc of the football was very floating, and wanted to go back, but it was too late, Jonk's header was lobbed, he couldn't do anything at all, although he tried his best to save, and felt that his fingers seemed to touch the ball, but he was still powerless to change the trajectory of the ball, so he could only sit helplessly on the ground and watch the ball hang into the goal.

“Goooooooaaaaaal！！！ The ball is in! Jonk scored the back of the net with a very difficult header! It was his second goal of the game! Manchester United are playing well! No one expected that in less than half an hour of the game, they were already 3:0 ahead away! ”

'This game was a disaster for Blackburn fans. These were the words of the Daily Mirror after the game.

Jonker's last goal of the game, and his third, came in the 51st minute.

Wayne Rooney was brought down by Emerdon as he broke through with the ball, and Anderson whipped in a quick free-kick that Evra lifted with his left foot and hoisted the ball into the box.

Fredel struck early and struck the ball out with a single fist, but the ball fell to Scholes's feet, 'Ginger Head' lifted his foot to shoot at goal, the ball hit Emeldon, and Anderson stabbed in front of the Blackburn player, and the ball fell to the feet of Jonker.

Jonker had his back to the goal, he knocked his beautiful heel, and then he turned around beautifully and shot with his foot.

In the eyes of the Blackburn fans, it was as if Tiger Woods had swung his monstrous golf club, and Jonker's shot shot in a beautiful straight line, which quickly swept past Freddell's saving hands and into the net, sending the net high and puffing into the air, making the sound of a rustling soccer ball rubbing against the net.

The ball is in!

The ball is in!!

Another wonderful shot, the score was rewritten to 4:0!!

Jonker, who scored his first hat-trick of the season, was so excited that he ran to the sidelines, hugged Ferguson, and almost knocked the old Scottish man to the ground with great inertia!

"Thank you for your trust, boss!" Jonk shouted excitedly in Ferguson's ear.

He would like to thank Alex Ferguson, the old man has always trusted him, which is very rare, and it can be said that a large part of the reason why Jonker never thought of leaving Manchester United was because of Ferguson, the old Scottish man's trust, which touched him very much. The trust of a manager is precious for a player, and even more so in a big club.

Moreover, Ferguson has made it clear to him that Jonk will be the leader and banner of Manchester United. The team was built entirely with him at its core, which made Jonker's blood even more exciting.

Ultimately. The score of this match was fixed at 6:0.

After scoring a hat-trick, Jonker was replaced by Alex Ferguson in the 60th minute.

Irving, who came on as a substitute for Jonker, was in surprising form. The former European Ballon d'Or scored a goal and set a penalty for a penalty that was scored by Wayne Rooney and the little fat man also scored twice.

In his post-match press conference, Blackburn head coach Sam Allardyce said there were light-years separating Blackburn Rovers from Manchester United. It may have been his self-deprecating remark, but fans weren't buying it, as they thought Allardyce's remarks were unacceptable.

Three days later. Blackburn Rovers chairman Williams has announced that head coach Sam Allardyce has been sacked due to poor results and that the team will be temporarily led by a youth team coach on an interim basis.

Sam Allardyce also became the first Premier League manager to be sacked in the 2008-2009 season.

Naturally, Jonker didn't know that his hat-trick and the team's hot watch had cost a manager a job and he was now training at the Lisbon training base.

However, this is not a training camp for Manchester United. After Manchester United's 6-0 win away to Blackburn Rovers in the seventh round of the league, the Premier League has entered a two-week lockdown, with players set to take half a month off.

Of course, these are players who have a holiday and don't have a national team match assignment, and these two weeks are national team break days. The 2010 World Cup in South Africa has been rekindled in qualifiers on all continents.

The Portuguese national team chose to train and train at the training base in Lisbon this time, which also made the Portuguese domestic international players less tired, of course, overseas players have to go through the fatigue of the journey to arrive.

11 October 2008. Estadio Alvalad, home of Sporting Lisbon, in the third round of the 2010 World Cup European Qualifiers in South Africa.

Portugal vs Sweden at home.

With the lessons of the race against Malta, this race. At least in the tone of the pre-match report, the Portuguese media still showed a certain respect for Sweden. Of course, this respect is reflected in the fact that the Portuguese believe that there is no problem for the Portuguese team to win. The question is whether it can win by a big score.

Before the match against Malta, the whole of Portugal was shouting for a big victory, and there was no place for Malta in the eyes of the European champions.

In the end, the score of this game was 4:0, and the Portuguese team was relatively solid, and the game did not give Sweden any chance from the beginning to the end.

Jonker scored a goal in the game, but it was Nani who scored a hat-trick. Voted the best player of the match.

Three days later, the Portuguese team made the long journey to Albania, which is really a long journey, for the Portuguese team, Albania is certainly not their opponent, and the real enemy of the European championship is the fatigue of the journey and the change of climate.

Although there is no snow in Albania in mid-October, the temperature is already relatively low in the evening, which can be very uncomfortable for the Portuguese players.

In the end, Portugal only beat Albania 1-0 away, which also made Queiroz and Portugal again receive a lot of criticism after the game.

However, in this match specifically, Jonk scored a goal that was later named the best goal in the European qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

It was the 53rd minute of the game.

The score on the field was still 0:0, both the Portuguese fans in front of the TV and the Portuguese players on the field were already impatient, while the Albanian fans seemed to be emotional, they saw their team's hope of drawing the European championship at home, and the whole stadium did not show any impact at all because of the low temperature, comparable to hot lava.

Jonk asks for the ball in front of the court and Veloso passes the ball to him, which is a boccia.

Jonk stepped on the football, but felt his feet slip, and he cursed a damn thing. This is a little trick made by the Albanian side, they poured a lot of water on the turf of the stadium, and the game played at night, Albania was already below zero, although because of the running of the players, the turf of the stadium did not freeze, but the field was unusually slippery, and it was normal to fall, which had a great impact on the Portuguese team.

Jonk faced the Albanian player's up, and he passed the ball back to Deco, who passed the ball to Simao, who was plugged in.

Simão and Nani played a wall-to-wall combination and then passed the ball in front of Gomez with a header. This is the ferry to Jonk.

Jonk couldn't turn around after receiving the ball and passed the ball again to Simao, who was inserted.

Then turn around and run forward on your own. The Albanian defender immediately followed up in today's game. The Albanian defenders are very strict about Jonker's marking, coupled with the field situation, low temperature and other conditions, Jonk does not have a good chance. Moreover, the Albanian defenders defended very much, and the referee's whistle in this game was soft, which made Jonker very annoyed and helpless.

Jonk ran two steps and had to brake when he saw the Albanian player who couldn't shake off his mark. Stop, turn around and go back to see what Simão will do.

"I didn't have the ball, so I don't have to follow it so closely." Jonk complained. He spoke in Mandarin.

The Albanian player who defended him naturally didn't understand what Jonk was saying, and he didn't have time to pay attention to what Jonk said, he only knew that he could defend Jonk and follow him closely, which was the task given to him by the head coach.

Simon stopped again when he saw Jonker. Thought let him pass the ball to him. So he hurriedly picked up the ball and passed it.

Jonk had a headache, he didn't mean to ask for the ball, it was caused by the lack of understanding between the two.

The football has already passed, and Jonk can only solve the problem at hand first. He was about to stop the ball when he felt the pressure behind him, and it was the Belarusian defender who pressed up. This makes Jonk not so comfortable even if he stops the ball. He's a bit of a tough one.

Jonke's mind suddenly flashed, since the opposing defender was pressing so tightly. In fact, it is also an opportunity, you know. Jonke's ability to get rid of close marking is also one of the best in world football, but because of today's field problems, Jonker's watch is a little sluggish.

In the eyes of the fans at the scene, as well as the fans in front of the TV, they seemed to enjoy a beautiful ballet.

I saw that Jonk first relied on the Albanian defender who was marking him, and gently picked up the incoming ball to the left with his right foot, then turned around suddenly, retracted his strength, kicked the ground with his right foot, and used his strength again to chase the football.

The Albanian defender was not slow to react when he saw the football being picked up, and he was not slow to keep up, but Jonk was faster than him, and Jonk took a big step forward and blocked the Belarusian defender behind him, which made it difficult for the opponent to continue to break the ball.

Then, Jonker leaned back, took advantage of the body of the Albanian defender behind him, took off into the air, picked up his right foot, and pumped the football that was still in the air - an unusually beautiful volley!

The soccer ball goes through a beautiful arc and goes straight to the goal.

The Albanian goalkeeper pounced on the football, but his reaction was still slow, and Jonk's shot was indeed sudden, no one expected him to be able to suddenly pick a defender on a slippery field, and then volley directly outside the box without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.

There is nothing he can do about this ball!

The ball flew over his hand, then fell, grazing the underside of the beam and into the gate behind him!

Beautiful goal!!

Jonker, who landed on the ground, stood up, waved his fist, and let out a roar, this goal is too exciting, and he himself feels uplifted!!

“Goooooooooal！！！ Gooooooooal——！！！ Jonker! A brilliant turn and volley! He saved Portugal again, and also Queiroz! 1:0！！ Portugal finally scored!! ”

The day after the match, the Portuguese team, which returned home from Albania, was criticized by the media, who saw the European champions of the European team as the European champions of the World Cup.

In the game against the small country of Malta, they were able to go behind by one goal at half-time.

In the match with Albania, it took a lot of effort to win by one goal.

However, fortunately, the goal scored by Jonk was brilliant enough, and the media and fans were full of praise for it, and the blame was shared on the Portuguese team.

Queiroz was asked if Portugal would be ashamed to be the European champions after Portugal beat Albania by just one goal, "I want to pay tribute to the Albanian team, their table is great, and their fans will be proud of the team's table Xiàn because they almost drew the European champions. ”

Regarding Queiroz's remarks, the media believed that he was avoiding the problems of Portugal and said that if this continues, Portugal's prospects in the World Cup in South Africa are not optimistic.

Queiroz spoke again, "World Cup in South Africa? We're still trying to get to South Africa, every opponent in the qualifiers deserves respect, and I tell the players, we're the European champions, so it's going to be tougher because everybody wants to taste what it's like to win the European title.
