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

Chapter 490 Super lineup

While the whole world was marveling at Manchester United's amazing feat, their Carrington training base was almost empty. Because after the third round of the Premier League, all major European leagues were suspended and entered the first international match day of the new season. International players from various countries in Manchester United have left the Carrington training base and traveled to various parts of the world to play for their respective national teams.

The current Manchester United team, in addition to third goalkeeper Johnstone, Carrick, who has already announced his withdrawal from the assistant coach of the England national team, and Ibrahimovic, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw are still on the injury list , there is no player who is not a national player!

Scottish high center forward McTominay, who has only emerged at Manchester United this season, was also called up by the Scottish national team on this international match day and became the international player of the Scottish national team.

In addition, although Phil Jones, Smalling and Ashley Young are only substitute rotation players at Manchester United, they have all been called up by England national team coach Southgate on this international match day.

Therefore, during this international match day, Mourinho, as the head coach of Manchester United, is completely unable to lead the team in training.

However, this allowed him to rest for a while without any worries.

………………

There are nine people in the midfield position, namely No. 6 N'Golo Kante, No. 8 Bruno Fernandez, No. 13 Juan Mata, No. 14 Jesse Lingard, No. 16 Michael Carrick, No. 18 Ashley Young, No. 21 Ander Herrera, No. 22 Ilkay Gundogan, and No. 27 Marouane Fellaini.

This is the 7th and 8th round of the Russian World Cup European Qualifying Group Stage.

………………

Three days later, the Portuguese team traveled to Hungary in central Europe.

However, when the game officially started, Mark Hughes found that the Manchester United he faced was completely different from the Manchester United last season.

With Tony Pulis leaving Stoke City in the summer of 2013, Manchester United legend Mark Hughes became the new coach of Sky City. Under Mark Hughes, Stoke City have reached the top half of the Premier League table for three consecutive years, ranking ninth in each instance.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALL!!!!!"

In the match on the evening of August 8, Portugal played at home against the Faroe Islands. Bruno and Ronaldo both started. In the end, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the game, while Bruno scored two shots and two passes. Portugal slaughtered its opponent 31:7.

"This is Bruno's seventh goal in the Premier League this season, assisted by new player Harry Kane!"

………………

This is also the key reason why they cannot compete with Portugal and Switzerland.

If you add Rashford, who is very capable, and Mbappe, who may join the team, Manchester United will have a top striker that will scare Europe and even the world in the next ten years.

In particular, Manchester United's lineup is very thick and can almost produce two starting lineups that are not weak.

Coupled with the midfielder led by himself, maybe Manchester United can really create an era of its own in the Premier League and even Europe!

However, thinking about Harry Kane's super ability, especially his scoring ability, and the long time he lasted at his peak, Bruno still asked him when Giaretta asked him whether Manchester United should fully introduce Harry Kane. Voted yes.

Bruno, as the captain of the team, first met with these three people, and then he introduced them to his teammates.

On the afternoon of September 9th, Manchester United challenged Stoke City as a guest at the Britannia Stadium.

“He scored to take the lead in just three minutes and Stoke City’s defenders simply couldn’t stop him!”

In Bruno’s memory, from the 2014-2015 season when Harry Kane officially emerged in the Premier League to the 2022-2023 season before Bruno crossed over, Harry Kane’s goals ranked fourth, second only to Lewando Fitzgerald, Messi and Ronaldo.

Everyone is not a stranger. Harry Kane and Mahrez have played against Manchester United players many times in the Premier League. Although Mbappe has not yet competed with most Manchester United players, his reputation in Europe is also At the height of his popularity, Manchester United players also paid attention to him.

He scored a goal in the first three minutes, which showed Bruno's excellent competitive state. Head coach Mourinho on the sidelines was even more excited to dance.

In today's game, if Hungary loses at home again, they will completely lose the chance to participate in the play-offs.

Since returning to the Premier League in 2008, Stoke City has been firmly in the middle of the Premier League. Although it is difficult to enter the European theater, there is basically no risk of relegation.

After Bruno opened the scoring, Manchester United continued to attack aggressively. Stoke City organized a tight defense, but it only lasted fifteen minutes.

This is something Bruno didn't know about what happened after he traveled through time, otherwise he would definitely be even more stunned. After all, this British star can turn Bayern Munich, the southern king of the Bundesliga, known as the "Champion Harvester", into a team with nothing in the top four.

In the end, Portugal defeated its opponent 2:0 in the away game and led the Group B standings with eight consecutive victories. However, as Switzerland also defeated Latvia 3:0 in an away game, Portugal still did not lock in the qualification to advance to Russia. Whether they can directly qualify for the World Cup may depend on the direct confrontation between the two sides in the final round.

It is precisely because of such results that Stoke City shouted the slogan before the game that they would defeat Manchester United again at home.

Stoke City, led by Manchester United legend Mark Hughes, became the first team to suffer after Manchester United's strong formation was formed.

Harry Kane, born on July 1993, 7, has just celebrated his 28th birthday. By recruiting him, Manchester United will almost ensure that they will have a reliable scorer on the front line for the next ten years.

Bruno has naturally been called up by the Portuguese national team and will participate in two World Cup qualifying group matches with the team. The opponents are the weak team Faroe Islands and the powerful Hungary.

………………

In the past four seasons, Stoke City has played against Manchester United in the league, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, which is not bad.

Stoke City lost two goals in a row, and the team's morale took a heavy blow.

In fact, Bruno had doubts about Manchester United signing Harry Kane. After all, Bruno knew how strong the "championship insulator" attribute of England's number one player was before traveling through time.

On September 9, Manchester United ushered in its first training session after the international match. Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Riyad Mahrez, the three new team players, also played in Cardiff for the first time. Linton training base unveiled.

Although Bruno is not superstitious, sometimes things are so weird that there is no way to explain them with scientific theories.

Of course, as long as there are no special circumstances, such as widespread injuries, the 28-man lineup can handle any situation, even multi-line operations.

During last year's European Cup, Hungary was still among the top 20 teams in the FIFA world rankings. However, a year later, Hungary's world rankings have dropped to outside the th place, which can be said to be the fastest drop in the rankings this year. nation.

"Bruno! Bruno again!"
