Chapter 512 The Joy of the Victor
Huh?
Courtois just saw Bruno raise his left leg, why did it suddenly fall down? Too fast... It doesn't look like a volley.
"Bounce!" A word popped up in Courtois' mind.
The football flew past Courtois' hand, and he had no way to stop it.
The shot was so fast that Courtois couldn't even follow the football with his eyes. He lost his target in his eyes, and naturally lost the ball in his hands...
"Bruno went alone! Beautiful volley! The ball went in! The ball went in!" Lineker couldn't wait to announce loudly before the ball crossed the goal line.
There was such a big empty goal, and there was no obstruction around it. Courtois was already Chelsea's last line of defense. How could this ball not go in!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"
Bruno finally had the chance to celebrate his goal. He jumped over Courtois, who was already lying on the ground, and ran to the corner flag area, raised his arms high, and roared towards the stands like a victorious gladiator.
When his teammates rushed up to pat him on the shoulder, he turned around and continued to roar at them.
………………
“2:1! 2:1! Manchester United lost a goal first, but Bruno scored two goals in the second half to reverse the situation!”
“This is a really exciting game! Manchester United, playing away, has a great chance of defeating Chelsea in the game! The last time Manchester United defeated Chelsea away in the Premier League was in the season when Sir Alex Ferguson retired. At that time, Manchester United narrowly defeated Chelsea 3:2 at Stamford Bridge in the 9th round of the Premier League.”
“Since that game, Manchester United has not defeated Chelsea in the league at Stamford Bridge for four years, with a record of 1 draw and 3 losses, including the 2:5 defeat at Stamford Bridge last season.”
Lineker was so excited that he couldn’t be more excited. He is not a fan of Manchester United, but he is a fan of Bruno. He is naturally happy that Bruno performed well.
At the same time, at Stamford Bridge, more than 2,000 Manchester United fans who came from afar were also very excited.
After Sir Alex Ferguson retired, they finally witnessed Manchester United defeat Chelsea, which is Manchester United’s nemesis, at Stamford Bridge again.
However, the entire Stamford Bridge was still filled with boos and scolding. As a visiting team, there were only more than 2,000 Manchester United fans entering the stadium to watch the game, which was negligible compared to the nearly 40,000 Chelsea fans.
"This is incredible... Bruno's goal in the 84th minute completely pushed Chelsea into the abyss!"
"Manchester United reversed Chelsea 2:1! The game is not over yet, Chelsea still has a chance! But I still want to applaud Manchester United, they showed amazing courage and strength! I think it is not unreasonable for major bookmakers to list them as the biggest favorites for the Premier League championship this season..."
………………
The commentators took off their hats to salute Manchester United, while the Chelsea coaching bench here was full of wailing.
Conte waved his hand angrily and smashed the ceiling of the coaching bench.
"Is my team really going to miss the Premier League championship again?" He thought so in his heart.
"No, go and call Batshuayi back!" He shouted to the assistant coach.
Chelsea's assistant coach hurried out and hurriedly called the young player Batshuayi who was warming up.
On the Manchester United coaching and substitute bench, Mourinho was hugging his companions. Bruno's second goal meant that Manchester United was getting closer and closer to victory.
After being kicked out by his old club Chelsea, Mourinho was in a state of disgrace.
The defending champion fell to 15 points in 16 rounds and almost fell into the relegation zone, which was a real shame!
Mourinho was stabbed in the back by his disciples. He couldn't understand the psychological world of those people doing that. After all, it didn't do them any good.
However, this did not affect Mourinho's memory of everything that happened at Stamford Bridge. From that moment on, Mourinho was thinking about revenge.
Unfortunately, last season, Manchester United visited Stamford Bridge, not only failed to take revenge away from home, but suffered a 2:5 defeat, which can be said to be a new hatred without revenge.
Although Manchester United won a 3:0 victory at home and even eliminated Chelsea 4:1 at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup, Mourinho did not feel the joy of revenge.
Today, he finally achieved his goal, Manchester United defeated Chelsea away.
"Great! Haha!"
Mourinho laughed out loud.
………………
Jassim in the stands also raised his arms and jumped up from his seat at the moment Bruno shot the ball into Chelsea's goal, and then accepted the congratulations of the people around him.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
"Your team performed very well, and it is natural to qualify, Jassim."
...
Everyone reached out to him, and Jassim thanked them one by one.
In fact, what he wanted most at this time was not to greet and exchange pleasantries with these distinguished guests, but to cheer to his heart's content. He saw that the dream he had started twenty years ago was becoming a reality little by little. What could be more fulfilling than this?
So far, Jasim feels that the best and most correct thing he has done in his life is to follow Bruno's advice and buy Manchester United Football Club, starting a twenty-year dream.
After finally dealing with those who came up to congratulate him, Jasim finally had time to vent his emotions like an ordinary fan. He unfolded the Manchester United scarf around his neck, held it in his hands, raised his arms, and sang with the fans below.
Before becoming the owner of Manchester United Club, he was first a fan of Manchester United Football Team.
Not far from Jasim, Chelsea's owner, Russian super-rich Mr. Abramovich, had a dark face.
In the past two seasons, although the funds he invested in the transfer market were not as good as the Manchester City duo, the amount invested was definitely not small. Last year, he spent 120 million pounds, with a net investment of nearly 100 million pounds; this summer's total investment exceeded 200 million pounds, with a net investment of nearly 150 million pounds, second only to the Manchester City duo in Europe.
But such a huge investment did not bring Chelsea even a championship trophy!
Looking at the complacent Manchester United owner not far away, Abramovich felt even worse.
………………
The celebration of Manchester United players was crazy. If the referee had not intervened, they could have celebrated until the end of the 90-minute game.
When the game resumed, Chelsea also made substitutions.
Batshuayi replaced William, who had not performed well in the whole game. Conte used the double tower tactics and changed the formation to 334, intending to fight for the last chance of a comeback in the simplest way.
After the game resumed, Chelsea launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal.
Just like Manchester United did not want to lose the game, they did not want to lose to Manchester United at home.
In a football game, you should not lose if you can't win, and it is better to draw than lose.
After the fourth minute of injury time, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game!
"The game is over! Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2:1 at Stamford Bridge! Bruno performed well in the game, scoring twice and being the biggest contributor to Manchester United's comeback!"
"The referee blew the whistle to end the game! This game was full of twists and turns! Chelsea once pushed Manchester United to the brink, but in the end Manchester United pushed Chelsea to the brink again. Mourinho and Manchester United both avenged the defeat at Stamford Bridge last season!"
"Manchester United's performance was amazing and even more respectable! Bruno's performance was the most amazing performance of the game, and he deserved to be named the best player of the game!"
The TV broadcast camera has been following Bruno closely, which is the evidence of his election as the best player of the game.
Scoring two goals and completely dominating the game, if this performance is not the best player of the game, who else can deserve this best player of the game?
………………
On the sidelines, Mourinho was shaking hands with Conte.
Conte looked very unhappy after losing the game. After losing this game, although Chelsea can still temporarily rank fourth in the standings with the advantage of goal difference, the gap with Manchester United, the top team, has widened to 14 points!
The league has only been played for 11 rounds, but it is 14 points behind the top team. Conte knows the huge pressure he is about to face.
Even, maybe his time at Stamford Bridge has entered the countdown.
Although Chelsea's owner Abramovich has spared no effort in supporting the team and is a boss that the head coach likes, he is not a very patient person.
A meritorious head coach like Mourinho, who coached Chelsea twice and helped the team win three Premier League titles, was kicked out by Abramovich without hesitation when the team's performance was not good.
Abramovich, who spent a huge amount of money on signings but failed to bring a trophy to the team, would definitely be more unhesitating when Abramovich fired him.
Conte couldn't help but look at Mourinho who was walking towards him, as if he saw the scene he was about to face at Chelsea.
Although Mourinho was very happy because of his revenge, he still tried to control his emotions and did not show any complacency. He had a decent smile on his face.
As a winner, it feels so good!
The media chased the star players, wanting to hear their thoughts after the game.
Especially Bruno, who scored twice in the game, was the focus of the whole audience. He just got out of the embrace of his teammates and was surrounded by reporters. Countless microphones were extended to him.
"Tell me about your feelings. How do you feel about winning against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?"
"Congratulations on scoring twice in the game at Stamford Bridge! Can you talk about your feelings..."
