From the Man Behind the Football King to the Football King

Chapter 510 Only Victory in Sight!

Bruno did not pass the ball to Mbappe, but used his heel to knock the football to Harry Kane who was retreating to meet him, and then he rushed into the penalty area himself.

Fabregas went to attack Harry Kane, intending to intercept the ball with Azpilicueta, while Matic went to intercept Bruno.

How could such an obvious one-on-one match be let go?

Harry Kane did pass the ball over.

Matic was about to steal the ball with his foot, but when he followed the football with his eyes, he also saw the white line under his feet.

Bruno and the football are both in the penalty area. If he kicks it and the opponent falls down, it will be a penalty kick!

Thinking of this, Matic did not steal the ball, but leaned forward. He wanted to interfere with Bruno so that whether he was shooting or passing, he would lose his accuracy.

He put all his weight on it. In fact, this was a very dangerous defensive move, because in this way he lost all his center of gravity. As long as the opponent had other tricks, he would be helpless.

Bruno didn't change his moves, he really wanted to pass the ball. Matic pressed on him, making him stagger and a little unsteady. His center of gravity was slightly forward, but the football fell behind.

From here, Matic's defense was successful.

But in such a difficult situation, Bruno quickly picked up the ball with his right foot and passed the football horizontally to the left side of the goal!

"Bruno! Pass the ball!! Rashford!!!"

………………

Bruno's pass was too subtle and too fast. Rashford didn't expect it at all. He thought Bruno would shoot it himself.

So after watching the football pass, he hurriedly rushed out to shoot. He could only choose to fall to the ground and shovel the ball. The football hit his toes and missed the goal.

"What a pity! Manchester United has had such good opportunities in a row, but neither Mbappe nor Rashford took them!"

Mourinho saw this scene and jumped up with his head in his hands. He also felt sorry.

Conte was very angry and roared into the field.

He thought that his defense was very well organized, but he never thought that Bruno could still send a fatal pass under such an opportunity.

Conte couldn't praise this kid's ability to be energetic whenever he plays in key games.

Because Bruno pushed his position up, bringing himself closer to the penalty area and the goal, he couldn't even commit a foul at this time. If you are not careful, it may be a penalty kick, and even if it is not a penalty kick, it is a very, very dangerous free kick.

You know, Bruno was also the top free kick master in football at that time!

Even besides Bruno, Harry Kane, Rashford and others also have good free kick scoring abilities.

Bruno only took a small step forward, but it seemed like a fish bone was stuck in Chelsea's throat, making them very uncomfortable and unable to do anything.

This is a small step for Bruno, but it may very well be a giant step forward for Manchester United in the game.

………………

Sending the football into dangerous areas twice in a row gave Bruno a boost of confidence, which shows that Chelsea's defense is not monolithic, even though it seems like it.

Another sign that is good for him is that because of his few passes, Chelsea players will first prevent his own passes in dangerous areas instead of shooting.

A player who can pass the ball and shoot his own shot is very difficult to guard.

Manchester United's offense is gradually gaining momentum. It is now the 75th minute. They must score a goal within the remaining 15 minutes to avoid suffering the first defeat of the new season.

Bruno thought more, what he wanted was not a draw, what he wanted was a victory.

In a match against a giant like Chelsea, a draw would not satisfy him, he hopes to win.

It's like a coming-of-age ceremony. Just beating Chelsea will give the whole team a huge boost of confidence and courage.

In the 77th minute, Manchester United's offensive came back, and Chelsea deployed their defense in time to be ready.

In front of Bruno is Chelsea's tight defensive front.

After Bruno's several sharp passes, Chelsea raised the alert level, and they no longer just defended within the thirty-meter area, but slightly expanded their defense zone, so that Bruno could not So easy to get to Chelsea's penalty area and goal.

Bruno wanted to take a step forward, and Chelsea pushed him back.

………………

When Bruno was six or seven meters away from the top of the penalty area, Lukaku rushed to defend him.

Bruno did not continue to control the ball, but passed the football to Rashford who was close to him.

Rashford also faced tight marking from the opponent. Instead of passing the ball to Bruno, he passed the ball to Kante behind them.

As said before, no matter where Bruno is, Kante is always behind him.

Kante received the ball and made a pass, but the target of his pass was not Bruno, but Rashford, who was retreating to receive the ball!

Manchester United's attack does not seem to have Bruno as the core.

But Rashford's back pass quickly dispelled everyone's doubts. He turned his back to the direction of attack and passed the football to Bruno, who had already advanced to the edge of the penalty area.

Now there is a Chelsea player Marcos Alonso in front of Bruno. Azpilicueta did not rush over immediately because he had to defend Harry Kane who was also heading into the penalty area. This experienced shooter has a great sense of grabbing points in front of the goal. If Bruno wants to pass the ball, Harry Kane will definitely be his passing point.

Facing Alonso alone, Bruno did not stop the ball, but took it in.

Alonso turned and ran in.

Bruno pretended to shoot directly with his left foot, but suddenly dribbled the ball from his left foot to his right foot. He avoided the angle without stopping and swung his right foot to shoot on the spot!

Alonso's reaction was also fast enough. When he saw Bruno dribbling the ball, he braked and rushed back. When Bruno shot, he just stretched out his leg to block it.

The football hit his blocking foot, resulting in a not-so-obvious change in line. The general direction of the football did not change, but it was just a little further out.

It was this move further out that caused the ball to fly past Courtois' fingertips and head towards the far post.

………………

As a goalkeeper, Courtois could not take his eyes off the ball, and Alonso turned his head to look at the ball after completing his defense.

There were also other Chelsea players who could not take care of defending the Manchester United players around them at this time, and they all stared at the ball flying towards the goal.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the ball in the air at this moment.

The commentator shouted in a long voice: "Bruno... shoot!"

The ball hit the inside of the far post and then fell to the inside of the goal line...

"The ball is in!!!"

Courtois fell to the ground and then punched the ground.

Alonso opened his mouth and eyes wide, with a look of horror and despair.

"1:1! Manchester United tied the score!"

"Bruno's goal! His 18th goal in the Premier League this season! The opponent is such a strong opponent like Chelsea!"

"Beautiful cooperation, beautiful goal! Bruno's performance is wonderful!"

"Oh oh oh! Bruno! He pulled Manchester United back from the edge of the cliff, but kicked Chelsea down!"

………………

Manchester United's teammates were ready to rush to Bruno to celebrate the goal, but they saw him rush into Chelsea's goal after scoring the goal, then picked up the football and turned to run to the center circle.

Seeing a group of teammates with surprised expressions in front of him, he clenched his fists and waved at them: "The game is not over yet, we have to win!"

In the 77th minute of the game, Manchester United relied on Bruno's goal to tie the score.

This draw means that Manchester United continues to maintain its unbeaten record in the new season's league and all events, and can surpass Manchester City with a goal difference advantage and return to the top of the Premier League standings.

Chelsea's situation is very bad. They will be 11 points behind the top team before the league schedule has even reached one-third. This is equivalent to withdrawing from the competition for the league championship in advance.

Especially this season, it is not only Manchester United that has performed superbly. Manchester City, another Manchester team, is not inferior to Manchester United. It also got 31 points in the first eleven rounds.

Chelsea, who had been leisurely playing defensive counterattacks with Manchester United before, could not sit still. Conte came to the side of the field from the coaching seat and used gestures and voice to let the players press forward and attack!

Although the attack may be caught by Manchester United more defensive loopholes, they will die if they don't attack.

When the situation is not favorable to us, we must not play defensive counterattacks, which will only make our players more anxious. At this time, we must go out to attack and fight hard, and there may be a glimmer of hope.

………………

When the TV stations were still replaying the goal just now over and over again, the game had already started.

Bruno put the ball in the center circle without any celebration.

Chelsea also hurried to kick off and cooperate with him.

Both sides now have to buy time.

It's just that most people don't understand the time Manchester United is fighting for... At this time, they should try to delay the time. As long as the score of 1:1 is dragged to the end of the game, Manchester United can take 1 point away from Stamford Bridge, which is already a very good result.

Of course, some people understand it this way: Bruno's move shows that Manchester United is unwilling to be tied with their city rivals Manchester City, and they want to strive to be the unique first.

In fact, they are all wrong. Not celebrating the goal and kicking off quickly is not Mourinho's instruction, but Bruno's own approach. Even Mourinho was a little surprised when he saw Bruno do this.

Then he remembered Bruno's character and understood that this kid wanted to beat Chelsea once at Stamford Bridge. After all, Manchester United lost too badly at Stamford Bridge last season, and the score of 2:5 looked shameful.

Conte didn't know why Manchester United was in a hurry to kick off, but this was exactly what he wanted.

Now what Chelsea lacks most is time, and they welcome all ways to seize time.
