Chapter 725 Overlord
Cardiff City, Wales, Millennium Stadium.
Mourinho looked solemn, he looked at the bench, ready to make substitutions.
Just two minutes ago, Manchester United's city was lost again. At that time, Murphy made a cross pass from the right side to the front and back of the goal, and Laon inserted and pushed the empty goal to score, completing his second goal, and the score on the field was rewritten to 2:2.
With Manchester United tied the score, Manchester United has fallen to third place in the Premier League's real-time standings.
Liverpool ranked first with 97 points. Although Manchester City and Manchester United had the same points of 96 points, they surpassed Manchester United with a goal difference and rose to second place in the standings.
At this time, the huge Millennium Stadium fell into silence, and the fans were very nervous.
Mourinho was also very nervous, and he had planned to make substitutions.
………………
At this time, Bruno's long shot on the field caused the goalkeeper to save the ball out of the bottom line, and Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity.
This is a tactical corner kick.
Rashford kicked the ball to Bruno, and the Manchester United captain hoisted the ball into the penalty area.
Cardiff City defender Pelletier headed the ball out.
Kante headed the ball to Luke Shaw, who directly passed it to Gundogan.
Gundogan made a slight adjustment and swept the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.
It was a low ball with a very fast speed.
The ball passed into the penalty area caused chaos in the Cardiff City penalty area. Several players from both sides rushed to the landing point of the ball at the same time. Manchester United players wanted to get the chance to shoot first, while Cardiff City players wanted to clear the ball.
In the chaos, a red figure appeared in the camera. He poked the ball with his toes, and the ball passed through the small door of Cardiff City goalkeeper Etheridge, continued to roll, and crossed the goal line.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The stands of the Millennium Stadium were boiling with the huge roar of the on-site announcer.
"Leading again! Tenacious Manchester United! Bruno, he scored a golden goal"
"3:2! Manchester United surpassed the score again, and the Millennium Stadium was boiling!"
...
Mourinho suddenly hugged Faria beside him, and his old partner whined: "Let go, let go, let go..."
Mourinho let go of poor Faria.
When Cardiff City equalized the score just now, he felt that his heartbeat was too fast, and he felt bad all over, and even had some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
………………
Anfield Stadium.
Klopp's smile was still on his face, and his assistant said in his ear: "Manchester United scored a goal, Bruno's goal."
The smile of the German coach froze.
………………
Millennium Stadium.
Although the stadium was ahead again, Mourinho was still worried. He still chose to make substitutions, replaced with fresh forces, and continued to attack.
A one-goal lead is too unsafe.
Harry Kaneta was replaced, and the young player Greenwood came on as a substitute.
Luke Shaw was replaced by veteran Ashley Young.
Rashford was moved to the center forward position, forming a front trident with Greenwood and Mbappe.
Three minutes later, Manchester United got a corner kick.
Ashley Young kicked the ball into the penalty area.
Everyone in Cardiff City was paying attention to the tall Maguire and Van Dijk who came up to defend and participate in the corner kick attack, but forgot the most threatening one in the penalty area.
Bruno jumped high, found the landing point of the football accurately without being marked, and then shook his head and sent the football into the Cardiff City goal again.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Expand the lead! Bruno's wonderful header! Maguire gave him the best cover! Manchester United leads Cardiff City 4:2!"
"Hat trick! Hat trick!! At the most difficult time for the team, Bruno stood up again and scored two goals in a row to help the team expand the lead to 2 goals again!"
"This is also Bruno's 38th league goal this season. He has expanded his lead in the European Golden Boot rankings to 4 goals!"
……
………………
Mourinho rushed out of the coaching booth and ran to celebrate.
With a two-goal lead, he was sure that his team had won the championship!
Neil Warnock cursed unhappily.
He made adjustments and replaced striker Zorejo with Danny Ward. In addition, the team's central defender Sean Morrison was pushed to the center position by him.
Although Sean Morrison is a central defender, the English central defender with a height of 194 cm has good heading ability. He scored 7 goals in the Championship last season and was a great contributor to Cardiff City's promotion to the Premier League.
Mourinho also made substitutions again. Mahrez came on as a substitute, replacing the young player Mbappe who was in declining physical fitness.
Three minutes later, Greenwood dribbled the ball on the left, passing the ball continuously, and Rashford made a forward run.
His forward run pulled Cardiff City's defense.
Neil Warnock made a desperate move to move a central defender to the front line, creating a gap in the defender position, and this opportunity was seized by Manchester United.
Greenwood saw the opportunity and prepared to cross the ball.
At this moment, Bruno, who was still outside the penalty area, suddenly sprinted in and jumped high!
He jumped higher than anyone else!
The ball went in!
"Bruno! The ball is in! The Manchester United captain scored his fourth goal of the game!"
"5:2! Manchester United has completely sealed the victory!"
"It's so beautiful! Manchester United's premeditated passing movement in this attack, Cardiff City's defense was penetrated."
"Rashford's pull and Bruno's astute forwards are the key to the goal. However, the personal ability of the rookie youngster Greenwood is also amazing..."
………………
Anfield Stadium.
Klopp had already learned that Manchester United was leading 5:2. He glanced at the scoreboard and sighed helplessly.
Liverpool still leads 2:0, and the Wolves don't have much will to resist. Liverpool's victory can be said to be a bloodless victory.
However, one victory was no longer enough for Liverpool to win the title.
………………
Millennium Stadium.
The score on the scoreboard is still Manchester United 5:2 Cardiff City.
It was already the 86th minute of the game. The entire stadium was as lively as an active volcano, and no fans could stand to watch the game.
Everyone knows that Cardiff City, which is 3 goals behind, cannot come back. It is impossible for any team to come back in this stadium at this moment.
The league championship is here!
On the sidelines of the court, on Manchester United's bench, the players stood on the sidelines. They linked arms and sang the team's anthem loudly.
In the stands, countless fans stood up, held their team scarves high, and sang the Manchester United anthem in unison.
"Although the game is not over yet, the Millennium Stadium is already a sea of celebration."
"Yes, the championship belongs to Manchester United. No one can take away the championship from Manchester United!"
"This scene is really spectacular." He Wei said, "This is the 16th Premier League championship that Manchester United has won, and it is also the 23rd English top league championship that they have won!"
"This is Manchester United's third consecutive Premier League title! It is also the third time in history that they have won three consecutive Premier League titles!"
"Manchester United is worthy of being the dominant player in the Premier League. Since the old English League One was restructured into the Premier League in 1992, Manchester United has won 16 championships in the past 27 years!"
………………
The ninety-minute match time passed quickly, and the staff on the sidelines raised an electronic sign indicating three minutes of injury time for the entire match.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines, looking at the excited crowd in the stands and the bench players who had been standing on the sidelines ready to rush into the stadium to celebrate. There was deafening singing in his ears.
The madman with some gray hair straightened his clothes. He carefully stretched out his suit, straightened his tie that was a little messy due to nervousness, and then stood on the sidelines with a smile.
He is waiting.
Three minutes later, referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the game.
Almost as soon as the whistle sounded, the entire stadium erupted.
"Congratulations to Manchester United, congratulations to Mourinho for coaching, congratulations to Bruno, congratulations to Harry Kane, congratulations to Rashford, congratulations to Mbappe, congratulations to Kante, congratulations to Gundogan, congratulations to Maguire, congratulations to Van Dijk... Congratulations to every Manchester United player, they are the Premier League champions this season, the 2018-2019 English Premier League champions, Manchester United!" He Wei shouted.
In the camera, Manchester United players were running wildly, cheering, and celebrating. Some of them knelt on their knees, some raised their hands to the sky, and some cried with excitement.
On the sidelines, Mourinho raised his hands high as if embracing the champion, and his disciples rushed past him and rushed into the court.
The whole stadium, the whole city, was caught in a huge carnival...

Chelsea were fifth, and they were once the top four demons. In the first season after Wenger's dismissal, they still failed to reach the top four and could only be ranked sixth. The newly promoted Wolves were worthy of being the biggest dark horse this season, and finally ranked fourth. seven.
Since the League Cup champion is Manchester City, and the FA Cup champion will be between Manchester United and Manchester City, both teams have already locked in the Champions League qualification, so the Europa League qualification brought by the two cup champions has been postponed to the sixth place in the standings. and seventh.
In other words, Chelsea, Arsenal and Wolves will qualify for the Europa League next season.
