Chapter 681 GOAT and One Super Multipolar

On the last day of 2018 and the first day of 2019, reports about Manchester United breaking AC Milan's 25-year unbeaten record in the top five leagues were seen all over the world. This is a focus event that has attracted much attention from the world in the past two days, and it is also a hot topic of discussion on the Internet.

Another hot topic that has been widely reported and discussed is about Bruno.

This Premier League match against Bournemouth is not only the game in which Bruno scored 100 goals in his Premier League career, but also the 400th game in his career in the club first team and national team events, including 351 club first team games and 49 national team games.

The 359 club first team games include 40 games in Novara in one season, 157 games in Udinese in three seasons, and 154 games in Manchester United in two and a half seasons.

And the 49 national team games were all played for the Portuguese national team.

In these 400 games, Bruno scored a total of 380 goals and made 256 assists.

………………

If calculated by season, Bruno played 40 games for Novara in Serie B in the 2012-2013 season, contributing 21 goals and 32 assists. He had no record of playing for the national team. At that time, he only played for the Portuguese national youth team in the Toulon Tournament and the Turkey World Youth Championship.

In the next three seasons, he played for Udinese in Serie A and also started to play for the Portuguese national team.

In the 2013-2014 season, he played 56 games for Udinese, scoring 32 goals and 35 assists. He made two substitute appearances for the Portuguese national team, with no goals or assists.

The 2014-2015 season was the season when Bruno really started to explode, and it was also the season when he went from an ordinary star to a superstar. This season, Bruno played 51 games for Udinese, scored 49 goals and assisted 32 times, helping Udinese win the Serie A and Champions League titles.

In the national team, Bruno played 8 games for the Portuguese national team, scoring 8 goals and assisting 7 times.

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in the club and the national team that Bruno won the FIFA Golden Ball Award in 2015, ending the 7-year domination of the world football by the two heroes of Melo and Ronaldo, and announcing that the world football officially entered the era of the Big Three.

In the 2015-2016 season, Bruno's performance was still outstanding, scoring 63 goals and assisting 43 times in 50 games for Udinese, winning the Serie A championship.

In the national team, Bruno played 13 games for Portugal, scoring 14 goals and assisting 4 times, helping Portugal win the first European Cup in team history.

………………

In the summer of 2016, Bruno, who had grown into a world football superstar, joined the Premier League giants Manchester United with a record price of 200 million euros, opening a new era.

In the 2016-2017 season, Bruno played for Manchester United, scoring 58 goals and providing 32 assists in 58 games, helping Manchester United regain the Premier League title after four years, and also won the League Cup and FA Cup, as well as the first Europa League in the team's history.

As for the national team, Bruno played 10 games for Portugal, scored 19 goals and assisted 9 times, winning the first Confederations Cup in the team's history.

The 2017-2018 season was a season in which Bruno broke out again. He played 61 games for Manchester United, scoring 67 goals and providing 36 assists. Under Bruno's leadership, Manchester United remained unbeaten in all events of the season, won the Champions League, and defended the domestic triple crown.

In the Portuguese national team, Bruno played 12 times, scored 15 goals and assisted 8 times, helping Portugal win the first World Cup in team history.

With his outstanding performance, Bruno regained the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award after two years, becoming the real first person in world football.

………………

If we count by year, in 2012, the fledgling Bruno started his professional career in Novara in Serie B. He played 20 times for Novara in Serie B and scored 8 goals and 9 assists.

2013 was the year when Bruno became famous. That summer, Bruno transferred to Udinese in Serie A and began to emerge on the stage of world football. Throughout the year, he played 47 games in various competitions for Novara, Udinese and the Portuguese national team, scored 32 goals and assisted 36 times.

2014 was the year when Bruno began to rise. In that year, he played 63 games for Udinese and the Portuguese national team, scored 48 goals and assisted 41 times.

This year, Bruno began to be selected for the FIFA Golden Ball Award and became a first-line star in world football.

2015 was the year when Bruno started to explode. He played 62 games in various competitions on behalf of Udinese and the Portuguese national team, scored 63 goals and assisted 36 times, ending the era of Melo and Ronaldo, and opening a new era of the world's three giants in football.

In 2016, Bruno continued his outstanding performance and transferred to Manchester United in the summer, opening a new chapter in his career. In this year, Bruno played 64 games in various competitions on behalf of Udinese, Manchester United and the Portuguese national team, scored a total of 77 goals and made 45 assists, breaking Yosi's record of 113 goals in a single natural year.

This year still belongs to the Big Three. In the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award that year, the Big Three still occupied the top three positions.

Bruno performed steadily in 2017, playing 70 official games for Manchester United and the Portuguese national team throughout the year, breaking his personal record for appearances. In 70 games, Bruno contributed 77 goals and 47 assists, and broke his own record of participating in goals in a natural year with 124 goals.

2018 was the year when Bruno really reached the top of the world football. This year, Bruno was invincible both in Manchester United and the Portuguese national team.

This year, he played 63 games for Manchester United and 12 games for the Portuguese national team, breaking his personal record for natural annual appearances. In a total of 73 games, Bruno scored a total of 75 goals and 44 assists. Helped Manchester United win 7 trophies, becoming the first seven-time champion team in the history of world football, and also won the World Cup with the Portuguese national team.

Due to his outstanding individual performance and team honors, Bruno won the 2017-2018 World Footballer of the Year and the 2018 European Golden Ball Award without any surprise, becoming the well-deserved GOAT of the world football!

………………

It can be said that since Bruno's rise, his data has been quite explosive. Especially in the past three years, his number of goals has exceeded 70 goals, which is simply incredible.

You know, since records have been kept, before Bruno, only five players have scored more than 70 goals in a natural year, namely Pele's 75 goals in 1958 and 73 goals in 1965, Gerd Muller's 85 goals in 1972, Zico's 70 goals in 1979, Romario's 72 goals in 2000, and Yosi's 91 goals in 2012.

In addition to these five people who scored more than 70 goals in a natural year for a total of 6 times, even Ronaldo, who is known as a goal-scoring machine, has never scored more than 70 goals in a year.

Ronaldo's goal record for a single natural year is 69 goals. He represented Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team in 2013.

Bruno's annual goals are only 70+, far less than Gerd Muller's 85 goals, not to mention Yosi's 91 goals, but he is the first person in history who can stably score more than 70 goals in a year.

Yes, Bruno has scored more than 70 goals for three consecutive years. He can be called the first person in football history who can score more than 70 goals stably.

………………

Bruno's stable offensive ability is not only reflected in goals, but his assist ability is also excellent and stable.

He has made 256 assists in six and a half years since his debut, which is equivalent to about 40 assists every year.

In fact, except for 2012 when Bruno just debuted, from 2013 to the current 2018, Bruno's assists have never been less than 30 in six years, and he has always maintained a performance of 30+.

Since 2014, Bruno's annual goal + assist data has never been less than 80 goals. They are 89 goals in 2014, 99 goals in 2015, 122 goals in 2016, 124 goals in 2017, and 119 goals in 2018.

If you look at the ranking of goals scored in the natural year in world football, you can find that Bruno has occupied half of the list.

The first place is of course Bruno's 124 goals in the natural year of 2017, followed by Bruno's 122 goals in 2016, the third place is Bruno's 119 goals in 2018, the fourth place is Yosi's 113 goals in 2012, the fifth place is Bruno in 2015, Muller's 97 goals in 1972, the seventh place is Pele's 96 goals in 1958, the eighth place is Yosi's 95 goals in 2011, the ninth place is Yosi's 90 goals in 2016, and the tenth place is Bruno's 89 goals in 2014.

Bruno has occupied five of the top ten, truly occupying half of the list.

The most terrifying thing is that the top three of the list are all occupied by Bruno.

Bruno is only 24 years old and has just entered the peak of his career.

Many media said that with Bruno's development trend, when Bruno retires, the annual goal list and the annual participating goal list will probably be dominated by Bruno!

………………

With Melo over 30 years old and entering the twilight of his career, coupled with Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid, the top platform, to join the declining Juventus, and Yosi's Barcelona gradually losing competitiveness in European football, many media predicted that starting from 2018, the situation of the three giants in world football has been broken and entered a situation of one superpower and multiple poles.

The most significant sign is that in 2018, Yosi has withdrawn from the top five in the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award. The saying of the three giants is already dead in name only.

In fact, it is not just Yosi who has dropped out of the top five who is no longer qualified for the Big Three. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has left Real Madrid, may soon find it difficult to qualify for the Big Three title. Although Cristiano Ronaldo ranked second in both the FIFA World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or this year, it will be difficult for him to enter the top three of the two awards starting in 2019.
