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

Chapter 445 The correct way to vent

Bruno himself did not make any protest, but the Manchester United teammates next to him were very dissatisfied. They raised their arms to signal to the referee that Ji Chengyong had committed this foul.

The referee Swarbrick finally ran up this time and showed Ki Sung-yong a yellow card.

Ki Sung-yong, who received the yellow card, looked very angry. He waved his arms vigorously and yelled his native dialect at the referee.

Speaking English, he was afraid of being sent off directly by the referee...

His behavior was also seen by Manchester United fans. Some of them shouted insults at the Korean, and some gave him the middle finger.

Because of Park Ji-sung, Manchester United fans have a good impression of Koreans, but they don't have a good impression of the Korean in front of them.

Bruno bent down and rubbed his calf. He was relieved when he found that there was nothing wrong.

It would be really unpleasant if you were injured by a stick and couldn't persist in the game, or even lost the game in the end.

………………

The rest of the entire first half was spent in a physical confrontation between the two sides. Football was put in the second place. No one was willing to lose in the physical competition with the opponent because it was about their own safety. face.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the situation on the field. During the halftime break, he criticized the team's practice of only focusing on fighting with the opponent and forgetting to play football.

"What is our goal? It's not to kick these guys down on the court, but to win this game! Give me your attention and get back to the game!"

"But the way they played was so dirty..." Rashford complained.

As one of the last threats in the Manchester United team, he also received heavy attention from his opponents in the first half and was changing his jersey at this time.

As for the red jersey he wore in the first half, it had been turned into khaki and grass green.

"That's the referee's business. You are not the referee." Mourinho sprayed the players, turned and pointed at Bruno and said, "Look at Bruno! He has set a good example for you. He rarely goes to the referee." Theory, even if you are violated, you should use legitimate methods to fight back. "

Everyone looked at Bruno, and Lingard screamed: "There's no comparison, coach! Bruno's body is stronger than ours. Did you see how the opponent's No. 4 kicked his leg in the first half? Bruno actually Nothing happened! What a pervert!”

………………

Mourinho also felt that using Bruno as an example was inappropriate and unfair to other players. Bruno's physical fitness was quite good. It would be too much to ask other players to act as if nothing had happened after being violated.

Thinking like this, he changed his explanation and said: "Okay, if you are violated, you have to protect yourself. But don't fall down at the first touch, otherwise our offense will not be able to start at all. We all know Swansea Why do we do this? Because they can use fouls to disrupt our rhythm. If we always stop the offense, we will fall into their trap."

After pondering for a while, Mourinho finally said: "In the second half, Swansea fell behind. They are eager to avoid relegation. They will definitely attack. Faced with their foul tactics, I ask you to be calmer. Don't worry about them and seize the opportunity. Score another goal to seal the victory.”

Swansea, who is lagging behind, must attack, and when they attack, they cannot use foul tactics, so this is Manchester United's opportunity.

Looking at it now, Bruno's goal in the fifteen minutes of the first half is so important.

If the score is still 0:0, Swansea will continue to use foul tactics calmly in the second half, forcing Manchester United to lose their composure and make more active mistakes, and there will be more gaps in the defense that can be exploited.

At that time, Swansea only needs one counterattack to take away the key three points on the way to relegation, and at the same time become the first team to win against Manchester United at Old Trafford this season.

But now it is Manchester United who is in the lead, so Mourinho has a lot of room for maneuver tactically.

………………

Elsewhere, Swansea manager Paul Clement was also critical of his side.

"Your defense was really bad in the first half! Federico, you are 1.9 meters tall, why did you let the opponent's No. 8 hit the ball?"

"He's very accurate in his judgment of where the football is going to go," Federico defended himself.

"Don't explain!" Paul Clement pointed at Federico and said, "Aren't you good at judging the placement of the football?"

When Federico saw him like this, he turned his face away. He didn't want to say anything more to the coach. He could understand it however he wanted.

Seeing that Federico stopped answering, Paul Clement changed the topic: "You did a good job in terms of fouls. But in the second half we can't just foul, we can't just think about stopping the opponent, because we are now behind by one goal. .You must seize the time to equalize the score!”

………………

At the end of the intermission, when the players came out again, Bruno put his arm around Maguire's shoulders and walked out with him. At the same time, he kept reminding him that he had received a yellow card and that he should control his emotions in the second half.

Bruno was worried that he would not be able to withstand repeated provocations from his opponents in the second half and would impulsively do something "foolish" that he would regret and make the team unlucky as well.

"Don't be fooled by your opponent. No matter how hard your opponent kicks you in the second half, you have to stay calm."

<divclass="contentadv">Maguire raised his head and asked Bruno next to him: "How do you stay calm, Bruno?"

"Smile, keep smiling." Bruno replied, "You can also interpret this as a mockery of the other person."

Maguire grinned and said, "Is that so?"

Bruno laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, just kidding. But no matter what, you have to relax on the court and don't let the opponent's foul tactics really succeed."

"I'll try my best, Bruno... You know, sometimes my temper is beyond my control..." Maguire said, shaking his head.

Although Maguire is not a player with a bad temper, he is not a good gentleman without a temper. He can easily explode if provoked.

"Then vent all your anger into the opponent's goal! Try to score a goal in the second half, Harry!" Bruno said, slapping Maguire hard on the back.

………………

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United got a chance to set a ball in front of the penalty area.

Swansea still uses foul tactics. Although their head coach asks them to find more ways to attack after fouling, the players have not changed this habit so quickly.

But Bruno's direct free kick was caught by goalkeeper Fabianski.

Swansea head coach Paul Clement was dissatisfied with players giving free kicks in dangerous places as soon as they came up, because Bruno's free kicks were very threatening.

Not only that, in addition to Bruno, Manchester United also has free kick players such as Rooney, Ashley Young, and Carrick.

But there is nothing he can do now except to raise his voice off the court.

Once the game begins, there is only so much a head coach can do.

He just kept telling the players: "Attack! Attack!"

Under his urging, Swansea began to make some offensive moves.

In the 56th minute, Tom Carroll broke through Valencia and then passed in. Llorente received the ball in front of the goal and then shot. The football hit the legs of Manchester United center back Maguire. The baseline popped up and Swansea got a corner kick.

Seeing Swansea getting consecutive scoring opportunities, head coach Paul Clement also sat back with peace of mind. The Swansea fans in the stands began to sing and cheer for their team.

But this corner kick did not give Swansea a chance to hit the goal. Instead, the football was punched out by goalkeeper De Gea and then fell to Bruno's feet.

………………

Bruno did not turn around to dribble the ball. He turned his back to the direction of the attack, and behind him was Ki Sung-yong. This kid really followed him everywhere.

He passed the football across to Rashford who rushed out of the penalty area. Rashford passed the football to Rooney on the side. By this time Bruno had turned around and ran up. Rooney passed the football to Bruno in the middle. .

After catching the ball, Bruno suddenly passed the football diagonally to the right.

Because Swansea had just taken a corner kick, most of the players on the team had not yet returned to their positions. There were large spaces in their backcourt. Bruno took a fancy to one of the spaces and sent the football away.

The ball seemed a bit big at first, but when the audience quickly spotted Lingard running forward at high speed from the right, they realized that the ball was passed just right.

The entire right wing was empty. Bruno's kick made Lingard very comfortable to catch the ball. When he received the ball, there was no defensive player around him!

"This is a quick counterattack from Manchester United!"

The voices of the Swansea fans in the stands were instantly silenced by the cheers of the Manchester United fans. At that moment, the shouts of the Old Trafford stadium made them unable to even hear their own voices.

After receiving the ball, Lingard continued to dribble forward and entered the penalty area in just a few steps. Then facing the attacking goalkeeper Fabianski, he chose to push the ball into the far corner.

Fabianski had already pounced towards the near corner, but his legs were still trailing behind. The ball pushed out by Lingard hit Fabianski's legs, and then leaped high and flew over the goal.

"Lingard shot! He didn't score...and was saved by Fabianski! Fabianski's performance in this game was really good. He doesn't need to take too much responsibility for the goal he conceded..."

Lingard missed the shot and held his head in his hands, looking very upset.

Despite this, he still gave Bruno a thumbs up after being annoyed, indicating that he passed the ball beautifully.

"Manchester United missed an opportunity to expand the score, which is really a pity... Bruno's pass was very beautiful, penetrating Swansea's entire defense!"
