Chapter 501: Continuous Killing Intentions

"CCTV! CCTV! Good morning, viewers! Welcome to watch the second round of the UEFA Champions League Group G in the 2017-2018 season. The two teams are Manchester United and Roma!" The voice of the CCTV commentator rang out, "Manchester United is attacking from the left to the right of the screen in the red home jersey, while the visiting team Roma is attacking from the right to the left in the white away jersey!"

After the kick-off, Harry Kane passed the ball to Bruno.

Bruno did not directly take the ball forward, but let the ball pass, turned around and passed the ball backward.

After passing the ball, Bruno did not stand still, but ran back to ask for the ball from central defender Van Dijk.

When Van Dijk passed the ball to him, he was almost in line with the central defenders.

He did this because the current team's defense against him is getting tighter and tighter. If he still receives the ball in the midfield, he may be cut off by the opponent's players coming from behind, so now he uses the method of running backwards to avoid those opponent players who just kicked off aggressively.

On the back line, Bruno calmly received the ball and turned around. The closest person to him was Perotti, but he was still more than ten meters away.

This was a safe position.

………………

Bruno looked up and took a look in front of him, and made a gesture to make a long pass with his foot - the ball was in front, the person was behind, he swung his arms and raised his legs, this was the posture of a long pass.

He saw that Roma's back line immediately responded to his action, and the defenders paid attention to Harry Kane around him, as well as Rashford and Mbappe who had already entered the opponent's half.

Bruno's foot landed but it was just a low pass. He passed the ball to Kante not far in front, and then he ran forward himself.

Kante passed the ball directly to him, and he hit the wall.

Perotti was now five or six meters in front of Bruno. Bruno dribbled the ball over, and Perotti made a defensive move, but it was very amateurish. Bruno just changed direction slightly, and Perotti gave up defending.

He is a forward, but he doesn't defend actively.

Another striker, Dzeko, was not the kind of striker who would actively fight for the ball in the frontcourt and defend, so Bruno was basically safe in his backcourt.

After passing the ball past Perotti, Bruno signaled everyone to come closer, not too far away. Harry Kane was the only one in front.

Rashford and Mbappe began to move back to the ribs.

………………

When Bruno crossed the center line, he felt the pressure from Roma's captain, Stroman!

"Stroman pressed forward, his target was Bruno!

This was the first direct dialogue between the two captains in this game!" the commentator shouted.

Fans watching the game in China shouted: "Pass him! B Fee!"

Everyone was looking forward to a Mars-like confrontation between the two. But they were disappointed. Bruno did not have the opportunity to collide head-on with Stroman. He took advantage of Stroman not being able to get entangled with him and quickly passed the ball out, targeting Mbappe.

Mbappe did not rush from the wing, but to the ribs, attracting another defensive midfielder of Roma, Gonalons.

Gonalons went to defend Mbappe, and at the same time he was watching Bruno from the corner of his eyes. Defending Mbappe is because the ball is now at his feet, and he is the most threatening player, but his main goal in this game is to cooperate with Stroman and completely freeze Bruno.

He noticed that Bruno was coming from behind, so he was careful and didn't rush too hard, anyway, there were Fazio and Jesus behind him.

Sure enough, Mbappe saw Bruno coming from behind, so he passed the ball horizontally!

"Hey!" Gonalons was proud of his foresight. He turned quickly and rushed to Bruno with the ball. He was a little close to the ball. Even if Bruno received the ball, he couldn't avoid his steal. He took advantage of the fact that he had just received the ball and hadn't controlled it yet to steal it, and the success rate was very high!

In addition, there was Strowman following Bruno, and Gonalons didn't believe that Bruno could run away with the cooperation of himself and Strowman!

The person can go, but the ball stays!

………………

Gonalons watched the football roll towards Bruno, and Bruno also had a movement to slow down to catch the ball, so he kicked and cut it off!

Strowman noticed Gonalons's movement, but he didn't follow the tackle, which would only make him and Gonalons collide with each other. He just leaned hard to the left and hit Bruno, hoping to knock him off the ball, so that he couldn't catch the ball and help Gonalons to steal the ball.

The cooperation between the two people can be said to be perfect, but the premise of their success is that Bruno wants to catch the ball.

Now Bruno's foot is raised, but he just stepped over the football and missed the ball!

"Beautiful missed ball!" The commentator shouted.

The reason why he thought this missed ball was a good one, not Bruno's mistake, was because he saw the whole situation from above. He knew that Rashford had rushed up from behind Bruno's side, and Bruno's missed ball just happened to give it to Rashford!

Gonalons made a shovel but missed, Strootman hit someone in vain, and Roma's two defensive midfielders were attracted by Bruno and firmly pinned to him.

Rashford didn't even have a defensive player around him. He received the ball from Mbappe on the 30-meter zone line and Bruno missed it.

He calmly even had time to adjust the ball from his weak right foot to his left foot, and then kicked it!

During the whole process, no Roma player rushed up to defend.

………………

"Rashford! Shoot!"

The ball was shot out by him, flying very low, straight into the near corner of the goal!

Fazio reflexively stretched out his foot, and the ball flew past the side of his calf. Fortunately, Alisson reacted quickly, jumped out, and shot the ball out of the baseline.

"Corner kick! The game has only started for one minute, and Manchester United has a very threatening shot and got a corner kick!"

The fans in the stands of Old Trafford shouted the name of Manchester United loudly, cheering for their team. This game has become very intense and exciting from the beginning.

At the moment when Rashford shot the ball straight into the near corner, the slow hearts of the Roma players suddenly beat violently.

They were really scared. They didn't expect that the opponent would have such a threatening shot at the beginning of the game!

The corner kick came out, Rashford kicked the ball forward, but it was a little low, and the ball was headed out by Gonalons who was guarding the front point.

Bruno's mistake just now made him a clown, so he was particularly excited to defend the corner kick this time. He shook his head violently and headed the ball far away, landing outside the penalty area.

Bruno was originally preparing to compete for the header in the penalty area, but when he saw the ball flying out, he turned and ran out.

The ball was received by Cancelo who was guarding outside. He stopped the ball and looked up to see Bruno in the middle not far from him.

Without Bruno's waving, the tacit understanding between the two made Cancelo know what to do in this situation. He directly passed the ball horizontally to Bruno.

After passing, he immediately started at high speed and inserted forward.

………………

At this time, Roma's defense saw the ball being cleared, and in order to prevent the Manchester United players outside from hanging the ball into the penalty area, they were pressing outward to create offside, so there were large areas of space behind them.

Their idea was correct, but they did not notice Cancelo's presence and his resolute forward insertion, as well as Bruno's resolute over-the-top diagonal pass!

The ball flew over the heads of a group of Roma and Manchester United players and fell directly to the side. Cancelo just inserted from behind and received the ball.

A Roma player raised his hand to indicate that Cancelo was offside, but the linesman at the far end saw clearly that Cancelo was still far behind when Bruno kicked the ball. He did not appear behind the defense until the ball flew over everyone's heads and fell to the side, and was not offside!

Cancelo was not offside after receiving the ball, and there was a huge cheer in the stands of Old Trafford.

"This is Manchester United's chance! In just three minutes, they got another very threatening offensive opportunity! From the exquisite cooperation between Bruno and Cancelo!"

The commentators were also excited, as if a goal could happen at any time.

Cancelo received the ball and looked up at the penalty area. He did not cross the ball directly, but took the ball into the penalty area!

The Roma defenders who found that there was no offside ran back at this time. Some went to guard the goal, and some went to grab the ball at Cancelo's feet.

Seeing the chaos in the Roma penalty area, Cancelo sent a low pass. The ball was not passed to the front of the goal, but behind the defenders, near the penalty spot!

Right back Valencia appeared here and kicked the ball!

………………

"Valencia... shoot!!"

The ball passed between Fazio and Jesus, and passed by the edge of Alisson's fingertips, and then hit the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

Perhaps the players on the field of Roma were still a little confused and surprised, thinking that the ball was offside first. But the fans in the stands and the TV viewers saw it clearly.

They watched Cancelo pass the ball horizontally to Bruno and then made a two-pass-N wall-collision with Bruno, which was not offside, and then broke into the penalty area and swept the ball to the center of the penalty area.

The players of Roma all rushed back to the front of the goal in one breath, and the area near the penalty spot in the center of the penalty area was quite weak.

Although it was not Bruno, Mbappe or Kante who appeared there, but Valencia, the right back, which was a bit surprising, there was no problem with this powerful shot. The ball was shot too fast, so that the players of Roma could not react.

Old Trafford erupted, and more than 73,000 Manchester United fans gave a huge cheer and roar.
