From the Man Behind the Football King to the Football King

Chapter 789 The Situation Is Over

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!" the MUTV commentator shouted excitedly.

"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!! The Manchester United captain scored his 40th Premier League goal of the season!"

"2:0! Manchester United leads Aston Villa by two goals!"

"Beautiful!! Bruno's low shot scores! 2:0!"

"Manchester United gave Aston Villa a two-goal lead before the end of the first half."

"This is a disappointing score for Aston Villa. They were two goals behind at half-time. It will be extremely difficult to come back in the second half."

While the commentator cheered, the Aston Villa fans in front of the TV were stunned in the stands.

Some of them cannot accept this reality.

After the game started, Aston Villa was in good shape. It can even be said that before conceding the ball, they had greatly occupied the initiative on the field.

However, after conceding the first goal, everything changed.

Bruno, who scored, opened his arms and ran towards the main stand. He raised his fists and celebrated the goal excitedly.

His teammates rushed up and hugged him, and the Manchester United players celebrated excitedly and enthusiastically at Villa Park!

"Manchester United leads Aston Villa by two goals in the game!"

"This Manchester United always seems to be able to perform surprisingly well when faced with difficulties!" Martin Taylor suddenly said.

"It's true. When Manchester United faces difficult situations, it always seems to burst out with huge energy." Andy Gray agreed. "Perhaps, this is also the way this Manchester United faces Guardiola's Manchester City and Crowley." When Liverpool challenge, being able to suppress these two teams is the key to the final reversal even when they are occasionally in unfavorable situations! "

"If Manchester United can defeat Aston Villa today, it will be difficult to stop their trend of finally winning the league championship this season! Next, Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Leicester City will also follow. It’s hard to stop Manchester United from moving forward!”

………………

At the end of the first half, Manchester United, playing away from home, led Aston Villa 2-0 with goals from Harry Kane and Bruno.

Aston Villa made substitutions before the start of the second half.

Samatta came on as a substitute, replacing Trezeguet, who had a rather average performance today.

Trezeguet did not appear on the bench. Obviously, the Egyptian learned that he was replaced at half-time during the halftime break. He must have been in a bad mood and stayed in the locker room directly.

However, this substitution did not have an immediate effect, but caused Aston Villa to concede another goal.

In the 49th minute, the Tanzanian forward tried to cooperate with Douglas Lewis in the frontcourt, but made a passing and receiving error.

Kanter stole the ball and Manchester United immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Kante - Gundogan - Mbappe - Bruno - Rashford scored!

Manchester United's devastating counterattack directly destroyed Aston Villa's defense.

Bruno assisted Rashford to score, Manchester United 3:0 Aston Villa.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"Rashford! 3:0!"

"This is Rashford's fifteenth goal in the league this season. This season, this Manchester United youth academy player has contributed 15 goals and four assists in 27 league games! He is in hot form !”

………………

Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith was extremely dissatisfied with the conceded goal.

The team's right back Neil Taylor pounced so hard when defending Rashford that he was passed by at once. Then he could only watch as Rashford cut in laterally and scored.

Not long after the second half started, the ball was conceded again, and the score gap was widened to three goals. This caught Aston Villa off guard as they wanted to make a difference in the second half.

After Rashford scored the team's third goal, Mourinho returned to the coaching bench and sat down to watch the ball.

With a 3:0 lead, the team's morale is high and the situation is under control. Mourinho does not believe that Aston Villa has the ability to come back from a 0:3 deficit.

At the same time, Greenwood, Mahrez and others on the bench got up to warm up.

After the resumption of the Premier League, the schedule is very intensive and it is difficult for the players to have enough time to recover their physical fitness. Therefore, when the victory is determined, it is appropriate to let the substitute players come on to find a feeling while allowing the main players to get sufficient rest.

Subsequently, Mourinho deployed his troops one after another.

In the 60th minute of the game, Mason Greenwood, also a player from Manchester United's youth academy, came on as a substitute and replaced Rashford.

Ten minutes later, Mahrez came on as a substitute and replaced another winger Mbappe. Also coming off the bench was Fred, who replaced Gundogan.

This is also a signal for Manchester United to defend comprehensively.

………………

The camera then showed several close-ups of Mourinho, with the Magic Bird sitting on the coaching bench, legs crossed and a relaxed expression.

It’s the ease and confidence of winning.

Next door, his colleague Dean Smith looked gloomy and sat silently in his seat.

This is the frustration and unhappiness of knowing that defeat is certain.

"After losing this game, Dean Smith has a lot to summarize. In this game, Tottenham only played well for more than ten minutes, and then the game was taken over by Manchester United."

"Dean Smith must be in a bad mood after losing at the critical moment of relegation."

The commentator was wrong. Dean Smith was not in a bad mood at this time. He was a little panicked.

If Aston Villa cannot successfully relegate this season, can he still stay in the position of Villa's head coach?

In the end, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3:0 away.

This is also the 4th consecutive game since Manchester United was tied by Tottenham in the 30th round of the Premier League. The opponent has won by at least 3 goals!

In these 4 games, Manchester United scored 14 goals, but did not lose a goal, showing their strong dominance in the Premier League!

………………

Manchester United's consecutive victories put great pressure on its rival Liverpool.

Two days later, at Anfield, Liverpool made a mistake under heavy pressure and was tied 1:1 by Burnley.

In the first half, Robertson broke the deadlock with a header in the 33rd minute. In the second half, Firmino hit the post in the 48th minute. In the 68th minute, Rodriguez scored a goal for Burnley.

At the end of the game, Liverpool tied with Burnley at home with a score of 1:1, missing the chance to win 25 consecutive home games across the season.

After losing 2 points again, the British media said that Liverpool was doomed. If they want to win the first Premier League championship in team history, they may have to wait until next season.

However, Manchester United seemed to give face. In the last game of the 35th round of the Premier League on the evening of July 14, Manchester United was tied 2:2 by Southampton at home.

In the 12th minute, Fred was intercepted by Ings in the backcourt, and then Raymond made a cross from the left rib of the penalty area. Armstrong stopped the ball and shot from 5 yards after scoring. Manchester United fell behind 0:1 at home.

But Manchester United showed their strong strength and soon scored two goals to reverse the score.

In the 20th minute, Mbappe made a 45-degree cross from the right, Bruno stopped the ball near the penalty spot and passed it, Rashford shot from 8 yards on the left rib and scored in the far corner, helping Manchester United to quickly equalize the score.

In the 23rd minute, it was still Bruno's assist. Mbappe broke into the penalty area from the right and shot with his right foot from 12 yards on the left rib. Manchester United scored two goals in three minutes and took the lead.

………………

Then the game fell into the control of Manchester United. They firmly controlled the situation and put great pressure on Southampton's goal. But the score on the field has not been rewritten.

Mourinho started to make substitutions after 70 minutes of the game. He wanted to save strength for the away game against Crystal Palace three days later. Bruno and other front field attackers were all replaced.

After replacing these main attackers, Manchester United's strength weakened, and Southampton began to play some threatening attacks on the field. However, Manchester United's defense was still good and did not let Southampton score.

In the 89th minute, Prowse and Dalot collided head-on when competing for the header. After 3 minutes of treatment, Dalot left the field directly. Manchester United could no longer make substitutions, and they had to play 10 against 11 at the last moment.

What made Mourinho even more dissatisfied was that the referee gave 6 minutes of extra time!

It was also in the 6th minute of injury time that Southampton got a corner kick. Prowse took a corner kick from the left side, Bednarek headed the ball at the front point, and Obafemi leaned on Lindelof to score with his right foot at close range, and Manchester United was tied.

In this way, after all 35 rounds of games were completed, the top two teams in the standings made mistakes at the same time and stopped moving forward.

Both teams got 92 points, and Manchester United continued to occupy the top position with the advantage of goal difference.

………………

Although Manchester United was unexpectedly tied by Southampton and continued to maintain a tie with Liverpool, the Reds soon encountered a test.

On the evening of July 15, a focus match of the 36th round of the Premier League kicked off at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal facing Liverpool.

As a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League, Arsenal's performance this season is not satisfactory. It currently ranks 9th with 12 wins, 14 draws and 9 losses and 50 points. It is still 9 points away from the Champions League zone and has no hope of entering the Champions League. The only hope is to fight for the Europa League qualification with all its strength. However, Liverpool is also killing red-eyed in order to win the first Premier League championship in team history.

At the Emirates Stadium, Robertson assisted Mane to score the first goal in the first half, Koulibaly and Alisson made mistakes to send Lacazette and Nelson to score, and Firmino hit the post.

In the second half, Liverpool attacked frantically, but faced with Arsenal's defense, they could not attack for a long time. Salah and Mane missed opportunities continuously.

In the end, Arsenal reversed and defeated Liverpool 2:1.

A day later, Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2:0 away and gained a 3-point advantage in the standings.

The Red Army is doomed!
