Chapter 370 Ask for a Hammer and Get a Hammer

Lineker was a little silent, and he couldn't think of how to remain optimistic.

In this game, if Manchester United can maintain the current draw, it will be a blessing. It is a high probability that they will eventually lose the game. At that time, he may really be able to say those very cliché commentary, such as "Although defeated" "You are glorious", "Life is so cruel, but don't give up, don't be depressed..." and so on.

He took the time to look at the stands where the visiting team's fans were. More than two thousand Manchester City fans who came to Old Trafford were already celebrating their victory in advance. They all stood up from their seats, waving their arms and singing the Manchester City anthem.

Although the score on the field was still at 2:2 at this time, from the perspective of Manchester City fans, they, who were already suppressing Manchester United on the scene, now had one more player than Manchester United. They had no idea how Manchester City could not win the game.

In comparison, most of the Manchester United fans, who had an absolute numerical advantage, had stopped playing. They sat listlessly on their chairs, seeming to have accepted the fact of a draw or even a loss.

In the eyes of these Manchester United fans, Manchester United has been completely suppressed by Manchester City on the scene, and they can hardly even grab the ball.

Under such a situation, in the remaining game time, it was very difficult for Manchester United not to mention scoring and taking the lead, but also to block Manchester City's attack. Losing was a high probability.

………………

Lineker withdrew his gaze and continued to commentate on the game. Although he likes Bruno very much, even his favorite player after Messi, as a commentator, he still has to remain as impartial as possible.

"Manchester City still had the ball, they showed good control and good passing... David Silva passed to De Bruyne... De Bruyne... Fernandinho... ...Otamendi...Stones...they reversed in the backcourt...Man City seemed hesitant to attack with one more player," Lineker said helplessly, he still couldn't attack! A bit of a grievance for Manchester United.

Manchester City did make a mistake in the backcourt. Although the score was only a draw, and although they had one more man than Manchester United, with less than five minutes left in the game, they still did not choose to take risks and attack, and did not insist on "Life never stops. The creed of "keep attacking" did not make the fans happy. Most of the time they just played in the midfield and backcourt, and finally got to the front. Once the opponent showed a little toughness in defense, it was like The tentacles retracted quickly as if they were frightened.

It looked like they were content with a draw at Old Trafford.

This also shows that they indeed treat Manchester United as a very, very dangerous opponent.

………………

Manchester City fell back in the backcourt for a while, with Bruno, Lingard and Rooney pressing, but what role can the three of them play?

In addition, the 30-year-old Rooney's physical strength is still exhausted and he can hardly run, so he can only count half.

And Manchester City faced two and a half Manchester United players back and forth as easily as they were funny monkeys in training.

The boos rang out from the die-hard Manchester United fans in the west stand of Old Trafford. They could not accept Manchester City's shameless delay of the game. They expressed their dissatisfaction with boos, middle fingers and swear words. Soon Their emotions were contagious, and with them at the center, the boos rippled through the stands.

Later, more Manchester United fans joined in, and whenever Manchester City players got the ball, the boos would suddenly increase.

The Manchester City players also had hesitant thoughts amidst such boos: We are Manchester City! Why should we be so worried about a team that has one less player than us? And now the game is still a draw, how can we be satisfied with getting 1 point in our mortal enemy's territory? Only by scoring another goal before the end of the game can they be completely defeated and the game lose its suspense.

What's more, if you want to be safe, isn't scoring a goal the best thing to do?

Therefore, we must attack!

And don’t you Manchester United fans not want to see us fall behind? Doesn't that mean he wants to see us attack?

I have never seen anyone want to see their team get beaten!

If you ask for a hammer, I will satisfy you!

………………

Stones handed the ball to Fernandinho and shouted at him: "Onward! Onward! Don't pass it back!"

The proud Manchester City players finally couldn't bear the boos and disdain anymore. They wanted to use practical actions to prove that what they represent is the most beautiful, pure and admirable football in the world!

Fernandinho made a fake move to pass back, then suddenly knocked the ball and turned around, wiping Lingard past. Then he dribbled forward and Bruno came up to him.

Fernandinho was not stupid enough to let the opponent rush to steal his ball. After nearly 90 minutes of competition, he already knew how good Bruno was in one-on-one defense.

Except for Sterling beating him a few times at the beginning of the game, neither Sterling nor Sane, who came on the bench, successfully beat him in one-on-one situations.

Fernandinho knows that he doesn't have the passing skills of Sterling and Sane, so he won't waste time here.

And the most important thing is that Manchester City needs to score goals now, rather than trying to regain the field from Bruno. What is more important, he, a defensive midfielder with a strong view of the overall situation, clearly understands.

Fernandinho passed the football directly to David Silva in front. In front of him, Bruno turned around with the football and chased backwards.

Fernandinho shook his head. What a fool. No matter how fast you run, how can you run faster than a football? When you finally catch up with David Silva, he only needs to pass the football to the next teammate, and all your previous efforts will be in vain, and you will become a joke, like Like the monkeys we toyed with...

Does this make sense?

………………

David Silva turned to receive the ball and he saw Bruno.

He also knew that this was a dangerous person, especially at this time. He still maintained plenty of physical strength. He pounced on him and immediately turned around and pounced back without any pause, which showed how excellent his physical fitness was.

Of course, you should stay away from such a dangerous person as much as possible.

David Silva didn't plan to wait for Bruno to pounce on him and then tangle with him. He immediately passed the football to De Bruyne. Then he ran forward and waited for De Bruyne to pass the ball. The ball is passed.

But De Bruyne didn't pass the football because he was tangled up!

Kanter gritted his teeth and held De Bruyne's jersey in his hand. His body was pressed against De Bruyne's body at a strange angle, leaving him with no time to pass the football immediately.

However, it is a bit difficult for him to steal the ball. De Bruyne is not a vegetarian and his ball control skills are quite good.

Bruno knew that Kanter couldn't hold De Bruyne for long. While returning to defense, he suddenly accelerated and changed direction and rushed towards De Bruyne from behind.

David Silva turned his attention to Bruno, who is now Manchester United's most threatening player. But he didn't see Bruno from this side, so when he turned his head, he saw Bruno rushing towards De Bruyne from his other side.

"Kevin!!" David Silva shouted, alerting De Bruyne to Bruno.

De Bruyne heard David Silva's call, and he quickly turned his head to look for Bruno, which made him neglect to deal with Kante next to him.

Kanter took advantage of his distraction to look for Bruno, suddenly put his foot down and poked the football out from under his feet!

Steal the ball!

………………

De Bruyne reacted the moment he lost the ball. He blocked Kanter suddenly, preventing him from catching the ball, and prepared to regain control of the ball. Of course, he still did not forget to glance at Bruno from the corner of his eye.

He cared so much about Bruno that he completely ignored the other Manchester United players around him.

After Kanter poked the ball out, the center back Van Dijk who had been behind him suddenly rushed forward, before De Bruyne could regain control of the football. He poked the football forward again, and the football completely passed away from De Bruyne. disappeared within the scope of control.

Of course, Van Dijk didn't make a panicked clearance. He noticed Bruno before he made the move, and this poke happened to pass the football to Bruno!

Bruno turned around, received the ball passed to him by Van Dijk, and then took it forward.

The opportunity he had been waiting for so long to steal the ball and counterattack finally came!

If he fails to seize this opportunity, then he deserves not to get 3 points. He has failed to live up to the expectations of his teammates and fans!

"Eh? Eh! Opportunity!!" Lineker, who was originally listless, suddenly became excited.

………………

On the court, Bruno turned around with the ball and went forward. In front of him are Lingard and Ibrahimovic, and next to him is Rooney.

This round of Manchester United's fast break is not at the same level as the fast breaks they have shown before. It looks a bit miserable, but this does not affect Bruno's speed of rushing forward. He rushed towards Fernandi with the football. Neo.

Rooney chased after Bruno desperately in order to get closer to Bruno, so that when he needed support, he could help.

When Bruno first came to this team, Rooney would never have had such an idea, and he never expected that he would be willing to be a green leaf like this...

Rooney was running when he saw Bruno passing the football backwards and then dodged to the right.

Rooney saw Fernandinho in front of him. He did not stop the ball or continue dribbling. He directly sent the football to Bruno's side.

Fernandinho turned around and went to attack Bruno.

Bruno passed the football sideways again. Rooney ran forward and caught the football. There was no one in front of him. De Bruyne was on the other side and couldn't reach him within a few steps.
