From the Man Behind the Football King to the Football King

Chapter 728 Fierce Battle

Fifty thousand Manchester United fans were shouting his name, and the huge momentum was enough to make anyone excited.

Bruno finally broke free from the fans, and then was hugged by his teammates who caught up.

"There is still the second half! There is still the second half!" Bruno panted and shouted loudly.

Manchester City is a strong opponent. The advantage of 1 goal is far from the time to lock the victory, not to mention that there are still 45 minutes in the game. Manchester City has enough strength and time to change the current situation. Manchester United must remain vigilant and go all out to have the hope of winning the championship trophy.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the time entered the halftime break, and then the second half of the game began again.

Manchester City, who was behind 0:1, did not show too much impatience.

"This is an experienced team." Andy Gray praised Manchester City's performance.

………………

Five minutes later, Maguire controlled the ball in the backcourt. But he made a mistake when passing the ball to Kante: the power was small.

Aguero intercepted and successfully intercepted the ball.

"Opportunity!"

Aguero broke into the penalty area after stealing the ball. Although Van Dijk tried his best to make up for the position and shoveled the ball away, David Silva, who followed up, kicked the ball first and hit the top left corner of the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"David Silva! Manchester City equalized the score!"

"Manchester City was very experienced. They didn't panic and quickly seized Manchester United's mistakes to equalize the score."

"F**K!!!!" Mourinho cursed.

It's still a mentality problem. Manchester City's players are experienced and relaxed. They are not impatient even when they are behind. On the contrary, Manchester United played a little nervously after taking the lead, and finally gave Manchester City a great opportunity to equalize the score due to mistakes.

Compared with Manchester City's relaxed mentality, Manchester United's players are obviously a little anxious and nervous. The whole team is eager for the championship, and this desire affects the players' performance emotionally.

Guardiola returned to the coaching bench and sat down. He was very satisfied with the performance of his disciples. Especially seeing Mourinho's frustrated look not far away, he was in a happier mood.

………………

Manchester City quickly equalized the score after the start of the second half, which made Manchester United's plan to counterattack steadily fail.

Then, the game fell into a stalemate.

The midfield composed of Pogba, David Silva and De Bruyne did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. They controlled the ball with active passing.

In the 58th minute, Kante tackled Zinchenko and was given a yellow card.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with this penalty. He thought Kante's action was small and a verbal warning was enough.

Then Kyle Walker fouled Harry Kane and Rashford twice in 30 seconds, but the referee only gave him a verbal warning, which caused Mourinho's strong dissatisfaction.

The Manchester United fans at the scene booed harshly.

"Rashford! Over the crossbar!"

"Aguero! Off!"

"Bruno! Oh, just a little bit off!"

With the midfield deadlocked, neither side had a good chance to score. Both sides began to try long shots, but their shots were not very threatening.

Mbappe dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and he was very fast. Laporte almost knocked him to the ground with his hands and feet.

The referee hesitated for a moment and made a gesture that there was no foul and the game continued.

Mourinho looked gloomy and looked at the court in silence. He had been verbally warned by the referee and did not dare to make any more radical remarks.

"Anthony Taylor's enforcement standards are not uniform." Martin Taylor commented, "If Kante's knockdown of Zinchenko just now was a yellow card, Laporte should at least be fouled this time."

…………

Manchester United's players all raised their hands, indicating that Laporte had fouled, and Manchester City tried to take the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack. Luke Shaw cleanly shoveled the ball from David Silva's feet while running at high speed, preventing Manchester City's counterattack.

Mourinho applauded on the sidelines, cheering for Luke Shaw's tireless defense and clean interception.

Three minutes later, Luke Shaw made a flying tackle and knocked De Bruyne to the ground. The referee only gave Luke Shaw a verbal warning this time, which also caused Guardiola's strong dissatisfaction.

Throughout the game, except for the two goals scored by both sides, the referee became the most eye-catching one on the field. Both Mourinho and Guardiola were very dissatisfied with Anthony Taylor.

In the 72nd minute of the game, an accident occurred.

After Pogba intercepted the ball in the midfield, he launched a long pass counterattack. Aguero ran to chase the ball, but his feet slipped and fell to the ground.

This is not the first time that players from both sides have slipped on the ground today. The grass of the new Wembley Stadium has long been criticized. The grass of this stadium, which cost up to 800 million pounds, has been criticized for being too hard, which can easily cause players to slip and get injured.

Aguero, who slipped on the ground, lay on the ground, and Cancelo, who was returning to defense, walked over to ask. Then, the Manchester United players made a gesture to ask the Manchester City team doctor to enter the field.

"F**K!"

Guardiola cursed and quickly asked Jesus to get up and warm up.

Before the game, Guardiola complained about the grass of the new Wembley Stadium.

"The grass at Wembley Stadium looked like it had just been used for a rock concert the night before. For a national-level stadium, such conditions are simply too bad. This stadium cost 800 million pounds, but there was a problem with the grass, which should have been the best. I don't know what caused this, but this condition is really intolerable."

………………

Manchester City's team doctor came in to treat Aguero, and the players from both sides took the opportunity to drink water on the sidelines.

Manchester City's team doctor made a gesture: substitution.

"There was an unexpected situation on the field. Aguero slipped and was injured. He doesn't seem to be able to continue playing. Manchester City is going to prepare for substitutions."

"I hope it's not a big problem." Martin Taylor said worriedly.

Aguero, who was carried out on a stretcher, looked painful, covering his face, and seemed to be crying.

The Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans at the scene applauded and saluted the veteran.

Manchester City requested a substitution. Aguero left the field and Jesus came on as a substitute.

Manchester City had just completed the substitution, and Manchester United also requested a substitution. Mahrez came on as a substitute and Rashford was replaced.

Even Mourinho himself did not expect that this forced substitution would have such a quick effect.

Kante received the pass from the defender at the top of the penalty area, and then he turned and passed the ball to Mbappe on the wing.

Mbappe took two steps forward and passed the ball to Bruno, who passed it to Mahrez.

Mahrez tried to pass the ball over the top, but Pogba headed it back.

Kante passed the ball to Gundogan, who passed it to Mahrez on the wing.

Mahrez did not choose to break through with the ball this time, but directly made a long diagonal pass to the other side!

"Precise diagonal long pass!" Andy Gray shouted loudly.

The ball crossed the half-court diagonally and flew straight to the left side.

On the left, Mbappe, who had just changed positions, inserted at high speed and stretched his left foot to take down the ball in the air beautifully.

Mahrez's diagonal pass from the right to the left was very imaginative, with a wide field of vision, and caught Manchester City off guard.

………………

On Manchester City's right, Kyle Walker had just assisted and had not had time to return to defense. At this time, seeing Mbappe take the ball, Kyle Walker was anxious and desperately chased back.

But, in terms of speed, how could Kyle Walker catch up with Mbappe?

Manchester City's attack just now was very close, which directly led to Mahrez's simple diagonal pass, which directly tore through Manchester City's defense.

Mbappe was very fast, running with the ball, and Manchester City's players retreated frantically to chase.

Manchester United's characteristics of being good at defensive counterattacks were undoubtedly revealed in this counterattack. In front of Mbappe was a large open area, which was simply a sprint space tailored for him.

Pogba tried his best to block, he stepped out his long legs and rushed diagonally to his national team teammates.

Mbappe slowed down a little.

"Boy, you are finally tired of running!"

Pogba saw this and immediately approached, intending to take the opportunity to stick to him.

Mbappe immediately made a move to cut into the penalty area horizontally. Pogba quickly moved his body and changed his center of gravity to intercept.

At this moment, Mbappe deftly used the outside of his left foot to gently push the ball to the outside, and then immediately accelerated to dribble the ball.

Breakthrough!

"Beautiful!"

"Breakthrough!"

"Mbappe! He is so fast! Beautiful! Into the penalty area!"

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson moved his steps, ready to attack or make a save at any time.

Mbappe made a move to shoot from a distance, tricking Ederson into making a move, and then realized that he was fooled, and quickly retracted his center of gravity in embarrassment.

At this moment, Mbappe passed the ball, and he swept the ball to the front of the goal with his left foot.

The ball was very fast.

………………

"Harry Kane——!!!" the commentator shouted.

Harry Kane fell to the ground and slid. Kompany, who followed him, did not dare to make any move, for he was afraid of an own goal.

Harry Kane did not kick the ball, and the ball passed in front of his studs.

Before the Manchester City fans in the stands could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure wearing a red Manchester United jersey flashed at the back post.

"Bruno --!!!"

A figure wearing Manchester United's No. 8 jersey appeared at the back post. Beside him was Laporte, who was chasing back breathlessly. He tried his best but could not catch up with Bruno. He could only watch Bruno face the flying ball and shoot directly.

Bang!

It was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of Manchester City fans!

The football suddenly jumped up, flew towards the goal, and rushed into the net from Ederson's left hand side.

"Bruno -- GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!" In the commentary booth, the commentators jumped up and cheered.

In the stands of the new Wembley Stadium, in Manchester bars, in front of the TVs watching this game around the world, countless Manchester United fans, Bruno's fans jumped up, and everyone raised their arms and shouted: "GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
