Chapter 710 Professor Bu VS Bruno
After letting go, Busquets used his body to block Bruno so that Bruno could not relax. At the same time, he hoped that his teammate Pique could come up in time to help defend and fill the position.
Faced with Busquets' physical confrontation, he was indeed unable to squeeze away the Barcelona veteran, but he was also not squeezed away. Especially the moment he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he clearly felt that Busquets' movements had restrained.
This is a sensitive area, and an accident will result in a penalty kick.
Bruno not only observed the surrounding situation with the corner of his vision, but also stared at Pique in the penalty area.
The former Manchester United central defender was a little far away from Busquets just now, and at this time he was throwing away Harry Kane and pounced on him.
Bruno could tell the time just by looking at him.
He is sure!
After just stepping into the penalty area, Bruno made adjustments with his first touch of the ball.
Busquets is very experienced and immediately realized that Bruno was going to hit the goal. He didn't care about anything else. He took a step forward, fell to the ground and shoveled, intending to use his body to block Bruno's shot.
But the young Bruno was obviously faster. When Busquets realized something was wrong, Bruno had already swung his legs and hit the goal!
"Bruno dribbled the ball into the penalty area..."
"Kick right up and hit the door!"
“The ball went in!!!!”
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!"
"In the 7th minute, in the 7th minute, Manchester United broke Barcelona's goal!"
"It was Bruno's diagonal pass into the penalty area again. Gundogan's direct pass was just right. Bruno received the ball and walked into the penalty area. Busquets was powerless!"
"Pique was pulled away by Harry Kane and failed to stop Bruno from hitting the goal."
"The ball went directly into the bottom right corner of the goal!"
"1:0! Manchester United takes the lead temporarily!"
…
………………
The entire Millennium Stadium was completely plunged into a carnival. No one expected that the start would come so suddenly and that Manchester United would break through Barcelona's goal so smoothly.
In fact, this is not the first opportunity Manchester United has received. Just three minutes into the game, Bruno hit a ground-breaking long-range shot that hit the crossbar and shocked Barcelona.
Then Rashford, Harry Kane and Bruno all had very good opportunities, especially in the fifth minute, Bruno had another long shot that missed the post and went out of the baseline.
…
"It can be said that Bruno was very active in the opening and showed his very good state. The quality of both long-range shots was very good, which surprised everyone in Barcelona, so Busquets did not dare to relax anymore. His vigilance forced him to follow him out, but the result..."
"In this defense, there are indeed some problems with Pique's defensive support, but he is also being restrained by Harry Kane."
"The characteristics of Manchester United's four offensive players in the frontcourt are too obvious. This combination gives any opponent a headache."
…
Bruno rushed out of the court crazily, spreading his arms all the way and gliding across the Millennium Stadium.
All the fans in the stadium were chanting his name until he finally stopped under the main stand, hugged his teammates who were catching up behind him, and celebrated the goal happily.
………………
This goal almost killed the game completely, because Barcelona only scored three goals to tie the score.
It can be said that the morale of this team Barcelona has been hit very hard, which can be seen from the expressions on the faces of each of their players, especially their defense.
"Barcelona's defense has never been strong. Last season's championship relied on the team's passing and offense, which covered up the team's defensive fragility."
"But this season, due to the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and the aging of players such as Modric, Real Madrid's competitiveness has been greatly weakened. After 32 league rounds, they only scored 56 goals and only scored 61 points. It is 13 points behind Barcelona, and all statistics are the lowest since the 2009-2010 season. In addition, Atletico Madrid's performance is not very good, allowing Barcelona to lead the La Liga standings with a huge advantage of 9 points, and it looks like winning. Winning the La Liga championship is a matter of time, but Barcelona's decline in strength is an indisputable fact, especially since their defense began to have frequent problems. This game is more like a microcosm. "
………………
"In sharp contrast, Manchester United has performed more and more impressively since Mourinho took over. Not only have they won the league title with extremely high scores in the past two seasons, but they have also created 69 The longest unbeaten record in Premier League history, last season also ended Real Madrid’s dream of winning three consecutive Champions League titles, returning to the top of Europe after ten years.”
"Bruno, in particular, has maintained extremely high offensive efficiency in recent seasons. So far this season, he has scored 35 goals in 32 Premier League games. What is even more rare is that he has also He had 23 assists, almost an average of 2 goals per game. In the Champions League, his performance was even more shocking, with 14 goals and 10 assists in 10 games, averaging 2.4 goals per game. The ball is in great shape.”
"In the summer of 2016, Manchester United spent 200 million euros, the highest price in history, for Bruno. When Bruno was introduced from Udinese, many people thought that the money was not worth spending and the risk was great. But now it seems that the money is worth spending, because Bruno's arrival has completely raised Manchester United to a higher level."
"In the three years before Bruno joined, it was very difficult for Manchester United to qualify for the Champions League and fell into the lowest period in the team's history; but after Bruno joined Manchester United, they almost won all the championships they could get, and became the second team in the history of European football to win all the championships in one season, and the second recognized universe team!"
………………
Mourinho on the sidelines obviously also recognized Bruno's performance. Especially in the Champions League, Bruno obviously played more adaptably and his offensive efficiency was more stable.
In the Premier League, he scored 35 goals and assisted 23 times in 32 games, averaging 1.8 goals per game, which was a performance that shocked the world. But compared to his efficiency of 2.4 goals per game in the Champions League, it pales in comparison.
Even last season was similar. At that time, Bruno scored 41 goals and assisted 23 times in 38 Premier League games, averaging 1.7 goals per game. But in the Champions League, Bruno scored 14 goals and assisted 11 times in 12 games, averaging 2.1 goals per game.
It can be said that Bruno has made great contributions to Manchester United's success in the Champions League in the past two seasons.
Of course, the Premier League has also performed very well. After all, they are very likely to become the third team in the history of the Premier League to win the league three consecutive championships after the end of this season!
Although the first two teams to win three consecutive championships were also Manchester United, Mourinho is the second head coach who may win the Premier League three consecutive championships after Ferguson.
"I have a strong premonition, Rui." Mourinho raised his head and glanced at the brightly lit stadium above his head, "We are still the Champions League champions this season."
Faria nodded.
After eliminating Barcelona, Manchester United's opponent in the semi-finals will be the winner between Juventus and Ajax. If it is Juventus, Manchester United may have to go through a tough battle, after all, Juventus has that man. But the news from the Allianz Stadium in Turin is that the score is still the same, which means that Ajax has a very high chance of an upset.
Although Ajax is also very good, it is highly likely that Manchester United will eliminate them with their strength.
………………
"If we can really win the Champions League, two Champions Leagues and one Europa League in three years..."
Faria didn't finish, but the meaning was clear.
Two Champions Leagues and one Europa League in three years, Mourinho will lead Manchester United to establish another red dynasty.
Mourinho didn't say it, but his heart was full of desire, and his eyes quickly looked at Bruno on the court.
This compatriot, who is only 24 years old, is his hope and the source of his confidence.
At this time, Bruno on the court was still looking for opportunities after the game resumed.
Especially for Busquets on the opposite side, Bruno frequently used his advantages and range of activities to pull and create opportunities. This made the 31-year-old Barcelona veteran a little exhausted, but he had to struggle to support.
Barcelona in the midfield tried to counterattack after losing the ball. Manchester United barely suppressed Barcelona's attack after paying two yellow cards to Gundogan and Luke Shaw.
When the game reached the 26th minute, Manchester United once again completed a counterattack after a midfield interception. Bruno rushed to the outside of the penalty area with the ball and passed it directly to Mbappe on the right.
Mbappe quickly went straight into the penalty area, received the ball, stopped suddenly, and suddenly started, shaking off Pique. When he saw Ter Stegen abandon the goal, he decisively passed the ball to the front of the goal with his left foot.
The football passed between Ter Stegen and Pique, and the Barcelona goalkeeper and defender were panicked and tried desperately to make up for it. But Harry Kane jumped out from behind Pique, easily pushed the ball with his right foot in front of the goal, and sent the ball into Barcelona's goal again.
2:0!
………………
Harry Kane, who lost his balance due to the shot, got up from the ground and rushed to the sidelines quickly, while Bruno quickly caught up with him and jumped directly on his back.
The English striker celebrated wildly on the sidelines with Bruno on his back, venting his excitement and excitement after scoring the goal.
On the other hand, the Barcelona players in the stadium lowered their proud heads like defeated roosters.
At the moment when he drew Manchester United, he really felt that he had defeated his opponent. Because they had good memories of meeting Manchester United in the Champions League the first two times, and won two Champions League titles.
But what they didn't expect was that the final result was that they were beaten so badly by Manchester United, and they were killed both home and away.
This was definitely a result that none of them could accept.
