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

Chapter 446 The situation gradually becomes clear

As the game time went by, the initiative of the game gradually fell into the hands of the leading Manchester United. Bruno firmly controlled the rhythm, and even if Ki Chengyong was hindering him, he didn't think it was a big deal now.

For him, Ki Sung-yong is nothing compared to the opponents he has encountered before, except for the more aggressive fouls, but he is not afraid of fouls.

When Bruno got the ball again, Ki Chengyong wanted to come up and press him. Bruno suddenly accelerated and got rid of his defense.

Ji Chengyong was stunned for a moment, seeing that Bruno was about to run away from him.

An idea suddenly popped out from the depths of his mind, and a voice kept echoing in his ears: shovel him! Shovel him! Shovel him!

All he could see was Bruno's feet carrying the ball.

Spurred by that thought, he suddenly flew out, aiming for Bruno's ankle!

Bruno, who was running forward with the ball, suddenly felt the danger in his heart. He quickly raised his left foot. At this moment, Ji Chengyong's foot arrived and stepped on the sole of his shoe.

Bruno suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell down.

"Foul!" a commentator shouted.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

………………

Huge boos and curses erupted from the Old Trafford Stadium, pointing the finger at Ki Sung-yong.

However, Ki Sung-yong got up from the ground and signaled to the referee that he had not tackled the opponent and it was Bruno who was diving.

Just at this time, Bruno also got up from the ground, so he pointed at Bruno and said: "Look, nothing happened to him. This must be a fake fall!"

Bruno listened to the conversation between him and the referee. He leaned over and said: "Don't be kidding me. If I really fell, I would be rolling around on the ground holding my ankle. You did tackle me, it's nothing." That’s easy to say.”

"This is impossible! You liar!" Ji Chengyong shouted excitedly.

There is a reason for the excitement, because he has received a yellow card before. The best result of a tackle from behind is a yellow card. He will be sent off. Of course, he has to fight for himself.

Before Bruno could speak, Maguire next to him rushed out: "Fart! Don't you know how many fouls you committed against Bruno in this game? You said Bruno was diving! Then you are..."

He wanted to scold him harshly, but Bruno reacted and pushed him outside.

These words caused a conflict between the players on both sides. I am afraid that Maguire will also receive a yellow card afterwards.

As long as the referee has no problem with his mind, it is certain that Ki Sung-yong will be sent off, and Manchester United will not be able to make another mistake.

Kanter had no cards, so he was not afraid. He pointed at Ki Chengyong's nose and angrily scolded him: "You know clearly that the shovel didn't hit Bruno. You are the liar!"

………………

Seeing that the players on both sides were about to clash, the referee quickly used a rapid whistle to remind the players on both sides to calm down.

Then he called Ji Chengyong aside with a hook, took out two cards from his pocket, one red and one yellow. He first showed Ji Chengyong a yellow card, then a red card, and sent him off!

"Red card! Okay, Ji Chengyong was sent off!"

"Ki Sung-yong is so stupid. Did he forget that he already had a yellow card? Moreover, the foul occurred in the midfield. There was no need for him to use such dangerous actions as flying tackles from behind."

"Let's see it in slow motion... Although he just shoveled the sole of Bruno's shoe, it was a dangerous move. Regardless of whether it caused damage to the opponent's player in the end, as long as the move was made, it would be a yellow card..."

"Did he be confused by his rhetoric before the game? I think he was completely over-excited..."

……

Swansea's head coach Paul Clement did not get angry off the court this time, but shook his head helplessly.

From the moment he formulated foul tactics to contain Bruno, he was mentally prepared for this.

Although foul tactics are very effective, they are also a double-edged sword and are likely to deplete your team during the game. Therefore, foul tactics need to be matched with the first goal so that the team can use them with ease.

No matter how reluctant Ji Chengyong is, he must accept the result: he was sent off!

………………

Swansea, who was missing one man, fell into chaos for a while.

Without Ki Sung-yung's marking, Bruno was in a no-man's land, frequently launching attacks in the midfield and passing fatal passes.

And Ki Sung-yong's red card also reminded the Manchester United players that there is no point in fighting the referee and the opponent. The end is the same as Ki Sung-yong. Now the opponent has one less player. That is our opportunity. There is really no need to continue. I've been tangled up in this aspect.

Even Maguire's performance is much more normal.

In the 68th minute, less than five minutes after Ki Sung-yong was sent off, Bruno picked up the ball at the edge of Swansea's penalty area. Federico rushed to defend, allowing Bruno to seize the space behind him and pass the ball through. , Rooney inserted diagonally, caught the ball just in time, and was not offside.

After receiving the ball, Rooney faced Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski, who had performed well throughout the game, turned and pushed, and the football flew from his side into the goal.

2: 0!

<divclass="contentadv">"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!"

"Rooney! Rooney!! Rooney!!! Rooney scored!"

"This is Rooney's seventh Premier League goal this season, and it is also the 7th Premier League goal he has scored in his career! He became the second person after Alan Shearer to break the 200-goal mark. Guan players!”

Huge cheers erupted from the stands at Old Trafford. They liked Rooney, the team's meritorious captain, very much.

Although Rooney's chances of playing this season have been greatly reduced, in the limited playing time, Rooney still showed extremely high efficiency and scored 7 league goals.

………………

After taking a two-goal lead, Manchester United played more calmly. The players dared to do anything. Bruno and Rooney also made a continuous back-heel pass, which caused bursts of screams from the Manchester United fans in the stands.

And Swansea had to abandon their foul tactics and start looking for goals.

The game finally got back on track.

In the 79th minute, during a corner kick attack, Maguire jumped high in front of the goal and smashed Bruno's pass into the Swansea goal.

3: 0!

Fabianski, who had performed well before, seemed to collapse after conceding the second goal, conceding two goals in a short period of time.

After scoring the goal, Maguire excitedly hugged Bruno, because Bruno asked him to control his temper during the halftime break and then strive to score.

He kept his temper under control and the goals followed.

"We've won!" the Manchester United players shouted as they gathered together to celebrate.

"Although Swansea, who wanted to avoid relegation, performed very tenaciously in the game, their strength was too far behind Manchester United. Facing Manchester United's sharp attack, Swansea's foul tactics completely lost their effect, and Manchester United became more mature. , when they suffered frequent violations from the opponent, they seemed to be a different team in the second half and did not lose their composure. And Ki Sung-yong's foul play seemed to be a microcosm of the Swansea players' game. They put more focus on the knees and ankles of Manchester United players rather than on football, and their failure is not surprising..."
