From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 367 Return

"Manchester United's attack...Rooney's cross! No one can hit it...The football has returned to Bruno's feet. Now Manchester United is besieging Manchester City. In this attack, no one from Manchester City touched the ball...Manchester United is using possession of the ball as a priority The world-famous Manchester City were not timid in front of them and also showed their ability to control the ball!"

The attack just now was not successful, which made many Manchester United fans regretful. Some people even criticized Rooney's cross from the wing as being too hasty. If the football is handed back to Bruno, he will definitely know a better one. Attack path.

However, Bruno did not let them wait too long. Then he heard Lineker yelling: "Eh? Through ball! Beautiful! Beautiful! This is an excellent opportunity! Bruno passed the football to Valencia …”

From this moment on, the Manchester United fans on the video wall were anticipating and cheering.

When Ibrahimovic knocked the ball in, they cheered as they wished.

"Beautiful! So beautiful!"

"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!"

"Ibrahimovic scored and Manchester United led Manchester City 2:1!! They took the lead for the second time!"

Old Trafford was like an erupting volcano, with cheers, songs and applause so intertwined that it was impossible to tell which sound it was.

Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, was hugging Valencia, who assisted him, while Manchester United's substitute players all roared out of the bench in excitement.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!!" Lineker shouted "Unbelievable" three times in a row, "Wonderful offensive organization! Who said that only Manchester City can play such football? Manchester United can do it too!"

"Oh oh oh oh -!! Beautiful! Long live Manchester United!! Well done!!"

The fans of Manchester United were the most excited. They cheered heartily in the stands and even became a little incoherent.

………………

Guardiola was standing on the sidelines, very dissatisfied with the loss of the ball just now.

From the moment Manchester United launched this attack, Manchester City seemed to have completely fallen into the opponent's rhythm. In this series of passes, they didn't even touch the ball!

Manchester City has teased their opponents like this in the past. When did it become their opponents' turn to tease them like this?

"This is really a wonderful collaboration..."

The slow-motion replay on the TV began to replay the goal just now. Unlike the general replay footage, which was slow-motion, this time the broadcaster specially adjusted it to fast-motion so that the audience could see the goal in a short time. the whole process.

In fast forward, the football was passed back and forth between Manchester United players, but the Manchester City players could not touch the football. They could only be mobilized by Manchester United's back and forth passing.

After such a bang-bang-bang-bang pass, Bruno suddenly found a gap and completed a through ball, helping Valencia assist Ibrahimovic.

"Such a pleasing attack that we often see from Manchester City, but not often from Manchester City's opponents. This Manchester United completely subverts our perception. I have to say that from the current point of view, Mourinho is very optimistic about this. The results of the team’s transformation are obvious! Not only do they have a solid defense, they are also very distinctive in offense!”

………………

"Guys, admit it, this opponent is no longer the Manchester United of previous years. They are very strong!" When Manchester United's players celebrated their second goal, Manchester City's captain David Shee said Silva brought all the Manchester City players together to do self-examination.

After David Silva said this, no one said a word. These proud players lowered their heads at this moment.

David Silva continued: "They are not something we can easily defeat with half our strength. We must use all our energy to deal with them. Look at the goal they just scored. If I were a fan, I would Everybody applaud them, it’s so beautiful! But isn’t that what we’re good at? Bring on the football, guys!”

"Don't let the whole world laugh at us! We are stronger than them, so we deserve to win. If we don't win, you will know what the world will say about us."

David Silva waved his fist and said: "Attack! Attack in the way we are best at!"

This impromptu battlefield meeting ended quickly, and everyone dispersed to prepare for the kickoff.

………………

Sterling was stopped by David Silva: "Raheem."

Sterling turned his head and looked at David Silva.

"Is Bruno difficult to deal with?" David Silva asked.

Sterling has failed to break through from Bruno several times. Now when he gets the ball, if Bruno is in front of him, he usually chooses to pass the ball instead of breaking through. But Sterling is not good at passing. He is good at dribbling and breakthroughs. He uses his dribbling to disrupt the opponent's defense and then creates opportunities for his teammates. If he can't lead a breakthrough, his threat will be much smaller.

Sterling nodded and said: "He always seems to be able to guess my thoughts. It's difficult to be one-on-one with him..."

David Silva confirmed his guess. He had been observing Sterling and Bruno during the game. He found that Bruno was very good at one-on-one defense and Sterling was the best in the team. , but he couldn't get past Bruno one-on-one. It seems that this Portuguese kid is not easy.

David Silva made a "come closer to me" gesture to Sterling and said to him: "You are too far away from me. Come closer and we will use cooperation to get around him."

Sterling nodded.

<divclass="contentadv">David Silva then said to De Bruyne: "You come closer too."

………………

Mourinho's method of dealing with Sterling is very common, which is to cut off the connection between Sterling and David Silva and De Bruyne, forcing them to keep a sufficient distance between them and lacking midfield support. Sterling can only fall into fighting alone.

As long as Sterling can maintain a suitable distance from David Silva and De Bruyne, his threat will greatly increase. So David Silva wants everyone to get closer so that they can coordinate the passing game.

What makes Manchester City so powerful is not that one person's dribbling skills are invincible, but that their passing and cutting coordination has become better after being polished by three famous coaches: Mancini, Pellegrini and now Guardiola. Very skillful.

It can be said that Manchester City's passing and control ability is no longer inferior to Barcelona, ​​which is good at controlling the ball!

Once you let them put the football up, unless you park a bus to go to the goal, they can always find loopholes and flaws in your defense and exploit them.

So you can understand how shocked the Manchester City fans were after Manchester United scored the second goal.

That is the offensive method that their team is good at!

………………

The game resumes with Manchester City kicking off.

Fans and TV viewers outside the stadium quickly noticed the changes in Manchester City, and so did the commentators.

"Manchester City stepped up their attack and the distance between the attacking players was shortened, which helped David Silva's delivery..."

Once the distance is shortened, Manchester City's offense immediately becomes a threat. Just one minute after conceding the ball, Manchester City organized an attack. David Silva passed to De Bruyne, who crossed to Sterling.

Because the distance between the three is close enough, the accuracy of the pass is certain, and it is difficult for Manchester United players to intercept the ball. Even Bruno can't do anything about this. No matter how powerful he is, he can guard Sterling one-on-one, but he can't guard three people!

In particular, the distance between these three people is very close, the passing speed is fast, and the movement is flexible, so it is quite difficult to defend.

After Sterling received the ball, he dribbled diagonally and seemed to be about to break through. Bruno got stuck, but he passed the football to David Silva with his heel.

David Silva split the ball directly and gave it to De Bruyne who ran to the wing.

De Bruyne did not pass the ball directly, but passed the ball low into the penalty area. Nolito stepped in and caught the ball!

"Beautiful!" shouted the pro-Manchester City commentator.

Manchester City pushed the football into the opponent's penalty area, so they were very close to scoring. No wonder he was excited.

Nolito turned around and swept the football to the center. Iheanacho and Van Dijk arrived at the same time and fought in front of the goal, but neither of them touched the football, and the football fell directly behind!

………………

"Sterling——!!" Almost all the commentators exclaimed!

But Lineker was different from them. He was shouting another person's name: "Bruno!!"

Sterling shot directly from the back point, but the football did not fly towards the goal. Instead, it was blocked by Bruno's thigh as soon as it came out.

In Manchester City's fast attack, Bruno can't do anything about Sterling, but they always have to hit the football to the goal, and he just needs to stay in front of the goal.

But this defensive success did not make him happy. Because if the ball was poked into the goal by Iheanacho, what would he do even if he defended Sterling at the back point?

Manchester City does not only have Sterling as an offensive point.

Bruno was not complacent because of this successful defense. On the contrary, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. This was not because he was tired, but because he was scared.

Manchester City's strong strength requires them to be cautious every time they defend.

There are still thirty minutes in the game, and this kind of defense must continue. The opponent's offense will virtually put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense because they are worried about conceding the ball. Bruno didn't know how long his teammates could persist under such pressure. All he could do was to do his best every defense from now on to prevent the opponent from succeeding.

Sterling was not upset about not scoring a goal. He pointed to the corner kick and signaled his teammates to prepare for a corner kick.

This is what makes Bruno feel terrible. This team has not lost its fighting spirit or its calmness. The current Manchester City is probably in its true complete form.

Does the game start now?

Although this sentence is very cliché, it is exactly what Bruno is really thinking in his heart at this moment.
