Chapter 695 He Really Wants a Goal

After Bruno kicked the ball, he felt that he had scored, but he didn't expect that Fermann flew to save it.

The goalkeeper of Schalke 04 had already lost four goals in this game, but he became more and more courageous. He saved such a ball at the beginning of the second half. It can be seen that he is still in good condition.

On the contrary, Bruno looked up with a bit of depression. He wiped the sweat on his face with both hands, and then scratched his hair hard. He looked very depressed because he wanted to have a goal.

"Just one minute into the second half, Manchester United took the lead in creating a very threatening attack. It came from Bruno's sudden kick after dribbling forward. Schalke 04 goalkeeper Fermann's flying save was very critical, and he tried his best to keep the goal."

"Manchester United's corner kick."

Manchester United then sent a corner kick, creating another exciting chaos in the penalty area of ​​​​Salke 04. But Cancelo's shot obviously did not hit the goal range.

Schalke 04 then quickly cleared the ball, but the ball was still at Manchester United's feet.

Although they were already four goals ahead, the Red Devils still performed very vigorously. Especially Bruno, he was eager to have a goal.

And the other players of Manchester United did not slack off at all.

………………

After the start of the second half, it can be clearly seen that the Schalke 04 players became relatively conservative. At least they would not press forward like in the first half and play against Manchester United.

But it is unrealistic to say that Schalke 04 is satisfied with the status quo. For example, in the 51st minute, they quickly launched a counterattack after intercepting the ball at the front of their own penalty area. Embolo retreated to receive the ball, but before Embolo stopped, Kante immediately snatched the ball back and handed it back to Gundogan, who quickly kicked the ball to the left.

Luke Shaw did not stop the ball and directly sent the ball to Bruno.

It was another one-on-one, and Manchester United's counterattack came quickly.

When Bruno stopped the ball, he made a fake move, pretending to cut inside, but in fact he suddenly dribbled the ball to the bottom line and quickly tried to break through from the outside.

But this time, Van Homoet did not fall for it, but followed Bruno all the way to the bottom line and blocked him tightly inside the penalty area.

Before the bottom line, Bruno slowed down and faced Van Homoet again.

The Dutch central defender, who was 1.87 meters tall, did not perform well in the guest right back position in this game, especially he did not achieve the task given by the head coach.

He himself was also very distressed. Originally, Rashford, who was facing him, did not play well tonight, but he did not expect that Bruno, the Manchester United midfielder, would go to his defense several times to make trouble and make him embarrassed.

Especially Bruno is very proficient in both his left and right feet, and can dribble, break through, pass and shoot, which is really difficult to defend. The only thing he can do is to ensure that his attention remains highly focused.

………………

As soon as Bruno slowed down, Van Homoet also slowed down immediately. Unexpectedly, Bruno was waiting for him to slow down.

Noticing that Van Homoet slowed down, Bruno suddenly started. At that moment, his explosive power was very fast, so fast that Van Homoet was shocked and had to keep up.

But if he went further, he would be out of the baseline.

Bruno knew it well. He used the moment when he suddenly started after stopping to create a little space. Before Van Homoet, he poked the ball into the penalty area near the baseline, and he himself went out of the baseline.

But according to the rules, the ball did not go out of bounds and was still valid!

"Bruno made a beautiful breakthrough in front of the baseline! He broke through Van Homoet and entered the penalty area!"

"Look at Manchester United's attack this time!"

After Bruno rushed into the penalty area with the ball, he immediately glanced at the front of the penalty area and saw Kante.

Bruno had no chance near the baseline, so he decisively chose to pass the ball back to Kante who rushed forward. However, the long-range artillery of the French midfielder rushed directly into the stands.

The entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium sighed in disappointment, and it was obvious that everyone felt sorry for Kante's missed chance to score this time.

"Bruno's previous series of individual breakthroughs were indeed eye-catching, but unfortunately, Kante's shot was really below par. It should have been a very light shot. Whether he pushed with the inside of his foot or stopped and shot, he had a very good chance, but he missed it directly."

Kante held his head with both hands, with an annoyed expression.

………………

Soon, Manchester United's suppression took effect. Harry Kane headed the ball in the penalty area and grabbed the first point. Schalke 04's midfielder Serdar failed to grab the ball when competing with Rashford, and was seized by the Manchester United striker. He rushed into the penalty area with the ball and shot directly from the right rib, which penetrated the goal of Schalke 04 again.

5:0!

The entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium was completely crazy!

Even the fans who were most confident in Manchester United before the game would never have thought that after the team was completely defeated by Arsenal and their 69-game unbeaten record was ended, they would immediately launch such a hearty offensive at home and create such a big victory!

The performance of Manchester United players tonight was really wonderful and outstanding!

Especially Bruno, who was extremely active and created four goals in the first half. It was definitely a phenomenal performance!

After taking a five-goal lead, Manchester United made substitution adjustments, with Dalot replacing Cancelo.

The Portuguese international has played a lot of games this season and performed very well. He can be said to be the patron saint of Manchester United on the right, so after the team took a significant lead, Mourinho still hopes that he can take a good rest.

This is also an opportunity for Dalot to get familiar with the game.

The Manchester United players on the field patiently controlled the ball and launched an attack around the Schalke 04 penalty area. But Manchester United mainly concentrated in the thirty-meter area and did not press too far up.

………………

Time passed slowly like this.

As Manchester United took control of the situation on the field, the two full-backs became bolder and stepped forward to assist.

Especially Luke Shaw on the left was very active and actively cooperated with Bruno to launch an offensive on the left.

The time entered the 60th minute, and Manchester United launched an attack from the left.

Harry Kane pulled to the left to respond, but had no chance and was forced to pass back.

Bruno dribbled the ball back along the left wing and suddenly saw Kanter advancing. Obviously, the French are also eager to have a goal.

So, Bruno suddenly stopped and tried to cut inside with the ball.

Both Van Homoet and McKennie quickly moved closer, trying to flank Bruno at the same time.

But just when the double-team between the two was about to take shape, Bruno suddenly sent the ball horizontally. The football passed between Vanhomoet and McKennie and fell behind McKennie.

After McKennie pulled to the left, Serdar had been sitting in the middle. He noticed Kanter's advance and immediately chased after him, trying to steal Bruno's pass in advance.

Kanter's speed was not fast, but Bruno's kick was very comfortable. He took a step ahead of Serdar, pushed the ball forward slightly, and then chased after him, directly throwing away Serdar's marking.

Stambley realized the danger and immediately pressed forward. But before others arrived, Kanter had already started!

Kanter's shot was smart, with a certain arc, and it came very suddenly.

Schalke 04 goalkeeper Fermann was positioned slightly outside. Although he flew to make a save, he could only watch the ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!

………………

“GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"Kante scored his sixth goal of the game!"

"We can see that Kanter was very excited. He rushed out of the stadium and ran all the way. He kept shouting at the fans in the stands to vent his inner excitement."

"This is a very wonderful goal! But Kante should thank Bruno for assisting him!"

"Another assist from Bruno! This is Bruno's fifth assist in this game, which is simply unbelievable!"

"This is also the first time in Bruno's career that he has sent 5 assists in a single game. He has sent 4 assists in a game twice before. In the 20th round of the Premier League in the 2016-2017 season, Manchester United swept Western Han Dynasty 6:0 away from home. Manchester United's game, and the 15th round of the Premier League in the 2017-2018 season, Manchester United slaughtered Newcastle 8:1 at home. "

"Sending 5 assists in a single game is enough for people to see Bruno's amazing game state. But unfortunately, he seems to have no chance to score in this game. He should hate Fairman now. , because Schalke 04's goalkeeper always allows others to score, but he always performs very bravely when facing Bruno's shots. So far, he has saved several threatening shots from Bruno. "

………………

"Should we replace him?" Mourinho asked with a frown.

Although he didn't say who he was asking at all, the answer didn't require any guessing.

Faria saw Bruno's efforts on the court, thought about it and said: "It depends on what you think."

"What do you mean?" Mourinho didn't quite understand.

"From the head coach's point of view, he must be replaced at this time. After six goals, there is no point in playing again. At this time, the more important thing to consider is physical fitness and the next game."

Mourinho's most common saying is that the head coach must have a long-term vision and not only focus on the upcoming games, but also plan for the long-term games. According to his words, this time it is indeed Bruno should be replaced.

"But why do I feel that you seem to be opposed to it?" Mourinho asked strangely.

Faria laughed: "You can see that he really wants a goal."
