Chapter 793 New Record

"Manchester United passed the ball to Bruno on the right."

"Bruno got the ball in the right corner of the penalty area, one-on-one!"

"Beautiful, Bruno went down to the baseline and passed into the penalty area!"

"Leicester City's centre-back Morgan controlled the forward point and made a big save."

"Another big kick in the midfield..."

…

With two big kicks in a row, Leicester City quickly cleared the ball near the midline.

Central defender Maguire, who was lagging behind in the Manchester United defense, firmly controlled the ball and immediately passed it back to the Leicester City half and handed it to Cancelo on the right.

When Cancelo first received the ball, he looked up at the penalty area in front and found that the situation in the penalty area had changed.

After Morgan made the clearance, he did not immediately keep an eye on Harry Kane. This made the England center face another Leicester City centre-back, the 22-year-old James Justin.

James Justin is only 1.83 meters tall and is known for his footwork and ball play. He does not have an advantage in preventing high balls.

Cancelo realized this and saw that Harry Kane had been staying in the penalty area. He immediately adjusted the path of the ball and quickly passed the penalty area with a 45-degree diagonal kick and sent the ball to Harry. ·The top of Kane's head.

The England center understood what he was doing and drove directly towards James Justin. He leaped high, beat the Leicester City centre-back, and headed directly into the lower right corner, hoping to catch the opponent's goalkeeper Schmeichel off guard.

But Cancelo's pass was a bit far. Not to mention Schmeichel, even Morgan had already reacted.

Schmeichel flew forward and saved the ball with a single punch.

………………

Harry Kane headed the ball from the left side in front of the goal. After Schmeichel saved it, the ball turned around and bounced to the right side of the penalty area.

When Cancelo passed the ball, Bruno was already ready to rush into the penalty area to respond. After seeing Schmeichel save Harry Kane's header, he quickly chased after him without waiting for a reaction. Morgan ran over and struck with his right foot!

To be on the safe side, he still hit with the inside of his foot!

The football almost passed in a straight line over the fallen Schmeichel and hit the goal behind him!

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!"

"At the end of the first half, Bruno calmly seized an opportunity and finally scored Leicester City's goal. This was his fifth shot of the game and he finally scored!"

After Bruno scored, he was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and jumped over the billboards on the sidelines. He rushed directly in front of the fans in the stands, opened his arms and cheered loudly.

1:0!

He finally scored! ! !

………………

“It’s wonderful!”

"This goal came very suddenly! But we must say that Manchester United's efforts in the first half finally paid off!"

"Bruno finally scored with his fifth shot of the game!"

"This is also his 41st league goal this season, tying the Premier League single-season scoring record he set in the 2017-2018 season!"

Bruno was soon hugged by his teammates who were catching up.

"There's still a second half! There's a second half!" Bruno gasped and shouted loudly.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first goal is always very difficult, but once you score the first one, the rest will be much easier.

Especially with the physical exhaustion of Leicester City players, it will be difficult for them to maintain the tight defense after the opening. They will become easily distracted as their physical fitness wears off, and their defense will continue to make mistakes.

Bruno believes that there will be a chance in the second half!

………………

Leicester City has performed well this season. In addition to the poor performance of their defense, the more critical thing is their offense.

In the previous 37 league rounds, Leicester City scored 67 goals, ranking fourth among the 20 Premier League teams, second only to Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool!

And Leicester City can score so many goals with their main striker Jamie Vardy. This late-blooming striker has performed very well this season and has scored 23 league goals, ranking second in the Premier League scorer list, second only to Bruno.

In fact, Vardy's performance has been very good since he was promoted to the Premier League with the team. In his first season in the Premier League, he scored 5 goals and 8 assists in 34 Premier League games to help Leicester City successfully avoid relegation.

In the following 2015-2016 season, Vardy was the number one contributor to Leicester City's miraculous victory in the Premier League championship. He scored 24 goals and assisted 6 times in 36 Premier League games, ranking second in the scorer list. Second only to Harry Kane.

In the next three seasons, as Leicester City's overall performance declined, Vardy's performance was no longer as amazing as in the 2015-2016 season, but he still maintained a relatively stable scoring efficiency, scoring 13 goals each. , 20 goals and 18 goals, he is one of the most threatening forwards in the Premier League.

Facing Leicester City's offensive line with Vardy, no one can guarantee that their defense will not concede the ball, which means that the 1-goal lead is not safe. Therefore, after the start of the second half, Manchester United continued to take the initiative to press Leicester City step by step, hoping to expand its lead and seal the victory as soon as possible.

………………

Bruno had the same idea. He was very active after the start of the second half. He almost ran without sparing any effort and kept looking for opportunities.

In order to get rid of the defense of Leicester City players, Bruno no longer limited himself to the middle. He often switched to the two sides.

But Leicester City was obviously well prepared for this. They were ready to fight as if they were facing a great enemy. Even though they were one goal behind, they still did not give Manchester United, especially Bruno, any chance.

At this time, Chelsea was already leading Wolves by 2 goals at home. It was almost impossible for Leicester City to qualify for the Champions League again after four years.

At this time, Leicester City was no longer fighting for victory or defeat, no longer for three points, but for honor and professionalism.

They could be scored and defeated, but the premise was that Bruno and Manchester United had to show their best strength.

Manchester United players also ran frequently. Even center forward Harry Kane took the initiative to pull the side and retreat to pull the defense line for Bruno and create opportunities.

Harry Kane has been performing well since joining Manchester United, and a very important reason is that Bruno has assisted him a lot.

Bruno himself has a good relationship with the team, which makes them happy to serve Bruno at critical moments.

………………

The opportunity Bruno pursued soon came.

In the 70th minute of the game, Leicester City's midfielder made a pass error, and the ball was intercepted before it crossed the center line.

Kante quickly passed the ball to the frontcourt, Harry Kane retreated, blocked the defender with his body, and passed the ball to Rashford on the left.

At this time, Bruno, who had switched to the left line, was like a nimble cheetah, ready to go!

"Manchester United intercepted the ball and counterattacked."

"Harry Kane passed it to Rashford."

"Rashford passed it straight behind him..."

"Bruno started quickly..."

"Leicester City's central defender also returned to defense very quickly and blocked Bruno."

...

Bruno faced the opponent's right central defender, Manchester United's former player Evans, one-on-one in the left corner of the penalty area.

As soon as the two came into contact, Bruno didn't wait for the other party to gain a firm footing, pretending to cross the ball from the bottom, but in fact he suddenly dribbled the ball inside.

As soon as he dribbled past Evans, Bruno felt extremely strong, and he swung his right foot without thinking!

The football spun fiercely, drew a beautiful arc, and almost brushed the fingertips of the opponent's goalkeeper Schmeichel, and hit the upper right corner of the goal!

Blind corner! This is an absolute blind corner!

After scoring, Bruno rushed out of the court again and rushed directly to the front of the live TV camera. He was so excited that he forgot everything else and kept pointing his chest at the live camera, as if to say, I did it!

I really did it!

42 goals, he rewrote his own Premier League single-season goal record!

………………

The teammates behind him rushed to him one after another, and everyone hugged him. Everyone shouted loudly in his ear, blessing his goal and congratulating him on breaking this legendary record.

"This is an absolute dead corner!"

"Bruno's 42nd league goal this season is very exciting. Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel is obviously powerless to do anything about it."

"Let us congratulate Bruno and congratulate him for rewriting the Premier League single-season goal record he set two years ago!"

"All Manchester United fans, all the fans watching in front of the TV, let us congratulate Bruno with the warmest applause and cheers, congratulating him on becoming the first player in the Premier League to win the top scorer for four consecutive years, surpassing Alan Shearer and Henry, two legendary Premier League shooters!"

"Even in the history of the entire English top league, Bruno, who has won the top scorer four times, can be ranked in the top four. He is second only to the former Chelsea and Tottenham legendary shooter Greaves, who has won the top scorer six times, and is tied with the former Sunderland legendary shooter Campbell, the Derby County legendary shooter Steve Bloomer, and the former Arsenal legendary shooter Thierry Henry!"

"Not only that, Bruno has also become the top scorer in England. He is the second player in the history of the English Premier League to score 40 goals in a single season twice. The other player who accomplished this feat is former Everton legendary striker Dixie Dean. The Everton star, who ranks third in the history of the English Premier League, scored 60 goals in the 1927-1928 season, which is a single-season goal record in the English Premier League and even in the European League. Later, Dean scored 44 goals in the 1931-1932 season. However, in Dean's era, there were as many as 42 games in a season, and the league intensity of that era was not as strong as it is now 90 years later. "

"After joining Manchester United for four years, Bruno has scored at least 38 league goals every season. The other Premier League players have scored at most 32 goals in a single season. Bruno's performance is almost unbelievable! "

"But it's only 70 minutes now, and there are more than 20 minutes left in the game. Maybe we should encourage Bruno with warm applause and cheers again, and let him keep up the good work. "
