Chapter 676 Seven Crowns
Rashford has good footwork and is very flexible with the ball. When he dribbles the ball high, he can still clearly see the situation in the penalty area. After rushing into the penalty area with the ball, he quickly passed the ball horizontally behind Harry Kane.
Fayez was originally blocking between the Manchester United center and the goal, with the purpose of preventing the Manchester United center from facing the goal directly, but Rashford's pass made him very passive. Harry Kane understood and blocked Fayez with his body, and did not catch the ball.
In this way, the ball slipped from behind Harry Kane and rolled to the penalty spot.
"A quick counterattack by Manchester United."
"Rashford broke through on the left, reached the penalty area, and passed the ball to the middle."
"Harry Kane missed..."
"Penalty spot, Bruno..."
"Goal!!!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"
"In the 28th minute, Manchester United scored another goal!"
"Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!!! The World Footballer of the Year scored the second goal of the game!"
"This is also his 8th goal in the Club World Cup, surpassing his national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo and becoming the top scorer in the history of the Club World Cup!"
"A very clean left-footed shot, Khalid had no ability to stop this shot!"
"Manchester United took the lead 2:0!"
………………
After scoring the goal, Bruno rushed out of the stadium and slid to his knees under the stands where Manchester United fans were, looking up with his arms open, as if he wanted to hug every fan in the stands.
Behind him, teammates rushed out and surrounded him.
"This was Bruno's first shot in the game, and he scored a goal unexpectedly. His ability to seize opportunities is indeed very stable, but Al Ain must also reflect on its defense. In the past two seasons, Manchester United's offensive ability was the strongest at the time, and Bruno was the team's most threatening killer, but they still gave Bruno a chance."
"This is the gap in strength. Manchester United's recent state is very good."
After scoring the second goal, Manchester United can be said to have completely controlled the situation on the field. Kaio was restricted by Manchester United, and Al Ain had difficulty in launching a threatening offensive. In addition, after losing two goals in a row, it was completely beyond the expectations of Al Ain players, which made them very anxious.
This is the final, only ninety minutes, time waits for no one.
………………
While Al Ain was anxious, Manchester United had more experience, and with the advantage in score and field, they stood firmly in the midfield, actively adopted a pressing and oppressive strategy, and waited for the UAE team to make mistakes.
During this period, Al Ain was not completely without opportunities.
In the 39th minute, they once launched a very threatening attack. El Shahat got the ball on the right and passed it to the middle, but Al Ain's Swedish striker Berry failed to hit the right spot due to Van Dijk's interference and directly hit the ball out of the baseline.
Just three minutes later, Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball and quickly counterattacked again. Rashford dribbled the ball inside and passed it back to the left.
Luke Shaw inserted the ball from the side and directly dribbled the ball to the bottom line and passed it to the front of the small penalty area. Khalid decisively abandoned the goal and rushed to save the ball before Harry Kane.
But the ball saved did not fly far. After Bruno received the ball, he faced Al Ain's defender in the penalty area, pushed the ball behind him with his left foot, turned around, and pushed the ball directly into the empty goal with his right foot.
The ball went in!
………………
Bruno was not excited at all this time. For him, this ball was just like picking it up. He spread his hands calmly and accepted the congratulations from his teammates.
The players of Al Ain slumped in the penalty area with a frustrated look on their faces.
0:3!
They are really desperate!
As the host, they won the wild card to participate in this Club World Cup, and then made it to the finals. Al Ain also planned to repeat the magic of eliminating River Plate in the semi-finals, and beat Manchester United again in the finals to create a miracle that belongs to Al Ain.
Before the game, each of them was still full of confidence. Unexpectedly, when they really got to the game, they suddenly found that everything was different from what they imagined.
Although River Plate is also a giant in the world football, it is still much weaker than the top giants in Europe.
Especially Manchester United, which has been unbeaten in all competitions and won all championships in the 2017-2018 season!
The game can be solved in one half!
………………
The three-goal lead made Manchester United more calm and confident.
During the halftime break, Mourinho praised the team's performance in the first half and encouraged the players to keep up the good work.
"I believe that as long as we play steadily, victory will belong to us!"
After the second half, Al Ain did not adjust the team's lineup. After the opening, they launched a sprint attack, but it did not work.
Among them, in the 50th minute, there was a very obvious detail that reflected the problem of Al Ain players. That is, under the pressure of Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt, the central defender couldn't find the ball point and passed the ball back to the goalkeeper with his feet. However, Manchester United pressed harder and harder. Khalid hurriedly used Pick up the ball with your hand.
Manchester United's players immediately protested against the referee Malufo. The American referee did not punish him severely, but gave Manchester United a free kick near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.
This time it was still Bruno who took the free kick. He passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Gundogan quickly stepped in and volleyed directly into the post, failing to score.
Although they failed to score a goal, whether it was the bad mistakes made by Al Ain's players or Manchester United's subsequent volley at the center post, they clearly reflected the changes in the mental outlook of the two teams.
Subsequently, Mourinho made substitutions, Bruno, Gundogan and Mbappe were substituted one after another, and Mata, Herrera and Mahrez got the chance to play.
………………
When Bruno was replaced by Mata, the whole stadium burst into applause.
With two shots and one pass, Bruno continued his excellent form in 2018 and directed the victory in this final.
Subsequently, Al Ain failed to make any further achievements. In the end, Manchester United won the victory 3:0.
When the referee Malufo blew the whistle to end the game, fans scattered confetti in the stands of the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. They floated in the air, as if they were spinning and flying like colorful snowflakes.
Under the sky full of confetti, Manchester United's players were celebrating.
Head coach Mourinho was thrown high into the air by them, celebrating that Manchester United won the Club World Cup again after ten years.
This is the second time in the history of Manchester United that they have won this event. If you include its predecessor, the Toyota Cup, Manchester United has won it three times.
This is also the seventh championship trophy won by Manchester United in 2018. They became the first team in the history of world football to win seven championships every year!
When the live broadcast loudly announced that Bruno would be elected as the best player in the Club World Cup final, the Manchester United fans in the audience once again burst into thunderous cheers.
All the players, coaching staff and staff gathered around Bruno to celebrate him winning this honor.
In today's game, Bruno's performance was impeccable. With two shots and one pass, he controlled the game.
………………
"This is a great victory!"
In the comprehensive interview area after the game, Bruno directly faced media reporters from all over the world.
"I want to say that this game is not the credit of any one person, but all of us in the team, including our teammates, whether he is not at the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight, and Our coaches and staff, every one of them is a contributor to the team’s success.”
For this game, Bruno believes that the team's start is crucial.
"We got off to a fantastic start. Before the game, the coach told us that the first half was very important. We had to control the game and turn the advantage into victory, and we did that."
"Al Ain is a very strong team but they didn't perform well enough in the first half. We took a few chances well and converted them into goals, which is very crucial and we should Proud and proud of the performance in the first half.”
For his two goals and one assist in this game, Bruno expressed his gratitude to his teammates.
"Maguire often said that he should be a center forward. His sense of grabbing points and shooting in the penalty area is really good. Both of my goals came from the left. I should thank Luke Shaw and La Shford, they gave me very comfortable passes and all I had to do was put them into the goal, and they should be the ones taking the credit.”
"Gundogan also passed a lot of good balls today, and Cancelo, they were both very good."
When Bruno said this, he paused before continuing: "I think we are a team, not one person. This team's victory is not the credit of any one person."
………………
As the number one player in world football, Bruno is the most eye-catching presence at any time and anywhere, and his future is also a matter of concern to all media reporters.
Even though he just renewed his contract with Manchester United before the end of last season, and even though he stated countless times in front of the media that he would not leave Manchester United, his transfer is still the focus of everyone's attention.
Especially this year, Bruno has led Manchester United to win every title they can.
In the eyes of many people, Manchester United has reached its peak. If Bruno does not seek new challenges, Manchester United will inevitably decline in the future.
Just like Real Madrid, after winning the double crown in the 2016-2017 season and defending the Champions League, it fell into a trough in the 2017-2018 season. The season was empty, the legendary star Cristiano Ronaldo left, and the Galacticos II created countless records. period fell apart.
Therefore, many people believe that Bruno will leave at this time and at his peak moment. Just like his Portuguese predecessor Cristiano Ronaldo ten years ago, after leading Manchester United to win everything and becoming the undisputed number one in football, he chose to leave Manchester United to seek a new career. challenges.
That year, Ronaldo was 24 years old.
And now, Bruno is also 24 years old!
………………
When a reporter asked whether Bruno would consider leaving Manchester United after winning all the championships, Bruno said that he had not considered leaving Manchester United yet.
"I love Manchester United and I am very grateful to Manchester United. I am very happy at Manchester United. I have the best teammates and the most passionate fans here. I can play games happily and win all the championships. I can't find a way to leave. reason.”
"Professional football is full of many unknowns. One day in the future, I may leave Manchester United, but that will definitely be a very distant future. Maybe it will be when my career enters the twilight years, maybe when Manchester United no longer needs me!"
As for the coming season, Bruno said he is full of expectations.
"I personally feel that my condition is still very good. My teammates and I will not celebrate tonight because we have agreed that after walking out of the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, we will forget the world as soon as possible. Club Cup champion, because we have to get ready for the upcoming Christmas Devil schedule.”
"I hope to save the most lively and craziest celebrations until the end of the season. We are determined to win three consecutive Premier League titles and the defending Champions League title!"
………………
After the interview, the award ceremony will be held soon.
The live TV camera was focused on the podium. The players of the UAE team Al Ain, who lost miserably to Manchester United, stepped onto the podium one after another under the leadership of head coach Mamic.
Despite the loss, the Al Ain players were not too disappointed. After all, being able to reach the Club World Cup final was already a huge victory for them.
Immediately afterwards, Bruno led Manchester United to the podium to receive their championship medals and trophies.
At this moment, they are the focus of the world!
In 2017, Manchester United won six titles including the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup, and Community Shield.
In 2018, they took a step further. Not only did they win the Champions League again after ten years, they also defended the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and Community Shield. In addition to the Club World Cup they won today, they became The first seven-time champion team in football history.
This will be another glorious period in Manchester United's history!
Mourinho, Bruno, Harry Kane, Gundogan, Kante, Rashford, Mbappe and others will all go down in history for this.
What an honor is this?
And Bruno is destined to become a legend in the history of Manchester United, even if he is only 24 years old, even if he has only played for Manchester United for less than three seasons!
