Chapter 527: All Kills

Mata pulled on the wing to help Damian attract Burnley's attention. Damian now has no defensive pressure at all!

"A beautiful straight pass!" The commentator shouted, "Good ball! This is Manchester United's best chance since the start of the game!"

The cheers at Old Trafford suddenly increased at this moment.

Burnley's right back Bardsley turned to chase from the outside, but it was too late. Goalkeeper Pope quickly attacked and blocked Damian's shooting angle.

When facing this great opportunity, Damian did not take credit. He saw the opponent's goalkeeper attack and raised his legs and shook his feet, rubbing the football, just over the head of the returning central defender Kevin Long, and naturally over the attacking goalkeeper Pope.

McTominay, who turned and followed after seeing Bruno pass directly to Damian, waited for his chance. He jumped high while running, and under the interference of another central defender Ben Mee, he used his head to smash the football in the air into Burnley's goal!

"The ball-goes in!! The ball goes in!! Manchester United scored! From McTominay!" the commentator shouted loudly.

"Manchester United scored a goal! It's only been one minute and twenty-three seconds since the start of the second half!!"

"Too fast! Manchester United's attack is too fast!"

McTominay, who scored the goal, did not celebrate. After all, Manchester United had only scored one goal now, and they were still behind in the score, so it was not time to celebrate.

………………

The game started again soon.

The Burnley players were very depressed. They didn't expect that they would lose the ball just one minute into the second half. This was something they didn't expect at all during the halftime break.

Not to mention them, even head coach Sean Dyche didn't expect his team to lose the ball so quickly.

Now their midfield plan was completely disrupted. The players were a little at a loss, and some players with poor psychological quality had a blank mind and didn't know what to do.

After the game resumed, Manchester United did not relax at all because of the goal. They continued to pursue the chance to score after the opponent kicked off.

Burnley certainly would not be willing to be overturned by Manchester United in such a good situation, so they tried their best to take back the initiative, but their strength was too different from Manchester United, and they were not used to Manchester United's stormy and continuous rhythm.

They were in a passive situation throughout the second half. Just when they wanted to attack, they were beaten back by Manchester United's series of fierce attacks. Later, they found that it was even more dangerous to attack, so they simply shrank back and didn't come out, just thinking about keeping the score of 2:1 until the end of the game.

Only Guevara was not satisfied with this state and kept looking for opportunities in the frontcourt. But his personal ability is limited, and he can't bring Burnley out of trouble by himself.

Guevara worked hard, but he looked a little embarrassed in front of Herrera and Ashley Young.

Bruno concentrated on organizing the attack, and he pushed the team's every attack.

Manchester United's continuous offensive made the fans in the stands very enjoyable, and the cheers at Old Trafford were higher and higher.

………………

Manchester United's continuous attack finally paid off in the 68th minute.

Bruno suddenly dribbled forward and made Burnley's midfielder Jack Cork foul him, and Manchester United won a free kick on the right side.

Mata made a cross with his left foot, and the ball drew an inner arc and flew to the back corner of the goal.

During the flight, Bruno jumped high and headed for the goal. He headed the ball with full power, but it was a little straight, and was saved by goalkeeper Pope.

But Manchester United's attack was not over. The characteristics of Manchester United's attack are that there are many levels and many attack points. Often, after one point is attacked, another point will follow up.

Because they have many midfield and frontcourt attackers in their team, such as Bruno, Mata, Lingard, McTominay and Rashford.

After Bruno's header was shot out by Pope, Lingard rushed over. Although he was not tall, Lingard still did not suffer in physical confrontation. He carried Kevin Long and sent the ball into Burnley's goal!

Pope had already fallen to the ground, and it was too late for him to get up and save the ball. All he could do was look up and watch Lingard break through the city he was guarding.

"2:0! Lingard scored! This is his third Premier League goal this season and his seventh goal in all competitions!"

After Manchester United spent 100 million euros to introduce Mbappe, Lingard completely lost his main position. However, thanks to the fact that Manchester United has a lot of games this season and has been facing a situation of two games a week for a long time, Lingard still got a lot of opportunities to play and scored a lot of goals.

"Lingard goal!!! Lingard goal!!!" The commentator was still shouting excitedly, "He helped Manchester United equalize the score! 2:2! Now the two teams are back on the same starting line!"

………………

The players of Burnley have not figured out the situation yet. Why did they play so hard in the second half after having a perfect first half? They couldn't control the rhythm at all and could only be led by Manchester United.

Sean Dyche had to make adjustments again and change the tactics to defensive counterattack. First of all, we must not lose the ball, and secondly, we must not follow Manchester United's rhythm.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Manchester United people to celebrate the goal, Sean Dyche called several Burnley players to the sidelines and warned: "We must regain control of the rhythm! Their rhythm is fast, then we will be slow! When When the football is at our feet, don’t rush to attack and use risky direct passes! We must slow down the pace!”

After the game restarted, Burnley did intend to slow down the pace of the game, but how could Manchester United give the opponent the opportunity to do so?

Football matches are about who masters the rhythm. Whoever masters the rhythm will win. On the contrary, whoever falls into the opponent's rhythm will lose.

Once Burnley tried to slow down the tempo, Manchester United's full-court press and ferocious tackles appeared.

What if the other party intentionally slows things down? Force the opponent to speed up the pace. This kind of pressing is a good method. When forced, the opposing players often have no time to think and can only rely on their body instincts to make choices. When these choices add up, it will become a kind of panic.

………………

In the 77th minute, Manchester United played a series of beautiful coordination after stealing in the backcourt.

Herrera handed the ball to Bruno who was pulled wide, while Rashford and McTominay advanced at high speed, attracting the attention of Burnley defenders.

Lingard suddenly changed from the right to the center, but no one cared.

After Bruno received the pass from Herrera, he did not dribble the ball forward himself. Instead, he knocked the football with his heel to Ashley Young behind him while running, and then he cut and ran along the The wing runs forward.

After Ashley Young got the ball, he passed it forward. Bruno had already run within 30 meters of the opponent's area at this time. The football came from behind him, and the opponent's full-back also pressed forward, and the center back kept an eye on the two Forwards, don't dare to go too far.

Bruno did not continue to dribble the ball. When the football rolled over from behind him, he lightly tapped the ball in the middle with his right foot. The ball just slipped past the full-back guarding him.

Lingard stepped in at this time and kicked the football through the space between the full-back and the center-back!

"Beautiful!" the commentator and fans cheered together.

Manchester United fans are looking forward to the birth of the third goal.

Seeing Lingard take the ball and enter the penalty area, Ben Mee, one of the central defenders, no longer bothered to mark Rashford next to him. He rushed over to defend against Lingard.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper and the defending central defender, Lingard did not pass the ball, but continued to push the football to the outside, towards the bottom line!

………………

"Too reckless..." Before the commentator finished speaking, he saw Lingard, who had dodged the space, rub the football with his right foot, and the football passed between the attacking goalkeeper Pope and the goal post. , straight into the back corner of the goal!

"Too reckless...the ball! The ball went in!" The commentator had to change his words temporarily and cheered loudly, "Lingard! Jesse Lingard! He scored twice in the game! What a beautiful goal. The goal came from a beautiful combination! Look at Manchester United’s attack, it’s so clear!”

"3:2! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! After falling behind by two goals in the first half, Manchester United scored three goals in the second half to achieve a comeback!"

"There is no reversal without the Red Devils! That feared team is back!!"

…

Whether at the scene or in the studio, many commentators exclaimed.

When Manchester United fell behind by two goals in the first half, many people thought that Manchester United's winning streak in the Premier League would be ended on Boxing Day. Even if they are as powerful as Manchester United, they still have to stop them on the Christmas Devil schedule.

However, the half-time break proved to be a turning point, giving the Manchester United men a chance to breathe.

With Mourinho decisively replacing Bruno in the midfield, Manchester United welcomed back their commander, and the invincible Manchester United also returned with Bruno's appearance.

………………

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Old Trafford Stadium had become a sea of ​​joy, and everyone was cheering except the visiting team fans.

"The game is over! The game is over!! Manchester United fell behind by two goals in the first half at home and scored three goals in the second half to achieve a comeback!"

"This is also their 20th victory in the Premier League this season, and the winning streak they created in the five major leagues has also been extended to 21 games by Manchester United!"

"Burnley once saw hope of ending Manchester United's winning streak, but as Manchester United replaced their number one star Bruno Fernandez in the midfield, Manchester United returned to their invincible nature!"

"And with Manchester United's reversal and victory over Burnley at home, they have also achieved a pass kill against the remaining 19 teams in the league this season."

"Manchester United is not the first team to defeat the other 19 teams in the season, but they are the fastest team to accomplish this feat. They only took 20 games. In fact, if it were not for Burnley, Without facing Manchester United in the first half, the Red Devils even achieved this achievement in the middle!”
