From the man behind the football king to the football king.
Chapter 498 Peak Showdown
After changing sides in the second half, less than two minutes into the game, Bruno saw Bruno get a one-on-one opportunity and suddenly spike the ball and cut inside. He was anxious and immediately fouled decisively.
The referee quickly ran over, raised a yellow card towards Moreno, and gave him a warning.
The Liverpool left back slowly stepped back, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Bruno who was pulled up from the ground by Valencia, feeling very emotional in his heart.
He still clearly remembered that four years ago, this kid had just made his debut. In the Europa League that year, Sevilla, where he played, and Udinese, where Bruno played, first met in the Europa League group stage. Both teams played 1:1 in both games. Although Bruno performed well, , but Sevilla still became the winner and advanced to the knockout rounds as the first in the group.
Subsequently, the two teams went all the way and finally reached the finals. Sevilla lost at the feet of Udinese this time, allowing the Black Rooster to win the final championship trophy, and Bruno was the best player in that game.
Four years ago, at the age of 21, he was a talented left back for Sevilla in La Liga and began to make a name for himself in La Liga. Bruno has just turned nineteen. Although he has led the Portuguese National Youth Team to win the World Youth Championship, he is still just a fledgling young man in world football.
But four years later, the two met again. Although he had become the left back of the Premier League giant Liverpool, he was developing well. But compared to Bruno, it pales in comparison. The opponent is already the Champions League champion, the Champions League Golden Boot, the star of Manchester United, the winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or, and also broke Ronaldo's scoring record in the Premier League.
………………
In Moreno's view, Bruno performed very bravely in tonight's game and was obviously in excellent condition. He kept running throughout the game, constantly looking for opportunities, which made it extremely difficult for Moreno to defend him.
This is because Bruno doesn't spend much time on the wing. After all, he is Manchester United's attacking midfielder and is more active in the middle.
Even if he is like this, one can imagine the pressure faced by Wijnaldum who spends more time against Bruno.
Klopp kept calling on the players' defensive positions from the sidelines.
What Manchester United got was a set kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt, which was quite threatening.
Moreno had obviously lost his position just now and was forced to foul. Klopp really can't complain about his left back. Klopp believes that in this defense, the left back really tried his best.
It can only be said that Bruno's sudden start with the ball and the subsequent change of direction of the smash were really too fast!
"Alberto has a yellow card. Next, Manchester United will definitely attack our left wing and let Emre retreat appropriately to help defend Alberto." Klopp arranged.
………………
Just when Klopp finished speaking, Bruno fired a high-level set kick on the court.
"Manchester United takes a free kick."
"Bruno made a curved pass with his right foot into the penalty area!"
"Liverpool's defense is missing someone in the middle!"
"Van Dijk grabbed the first spot and headed the ball towards the goal!"
The only sound heard at the scene was a "bang" as the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area.
All the Liverpool fans in the audience were so scared that their hearts jumped into their throats at that moment. When they saw that the ball did not go in, they breathed a sigh of relief and then let out loud boos.
This is not only an expression of hostility towards Manchester United, but also a vent to the fear in their hearts.
"What a pity! The Dutch centre-back's header hit the crossbar."
"Manchester United's set-piece attack was very thoughtful. Bruno's penalty kick was of a very high level and his placement was quite accurate. Van Dijk quickly headed the ball into the goal. The whole set-piece was coordinated very beautifully. But it's a pity that it was still a little bit A little worse.”
"Bruno is still Manchester United's most threatening player on the pitch, and Liverpool obviously intends to strengthen its defense based on Bruno's active position."
………………
In this wave of offense after the opening of the second half, Manchester United played their own morale and rhythm.
Bruno soon got another chance on the right.
Valencia made a direct pass, Bruno retreated, turned around when stopping the ball, and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
Emre Can tightly wrapped around Bruno, but Mbappé quickly stepped in, drawing Bruno's defensive attention. Moreno was forced to follow the French winger.
Bruno suddenly accelerated and used his speed to dribble away from Emre Can's entanglement, dribbling the ball straight into the penalty area. This shocked Wijnaldum and quickly rushed over to help defend.
But Bruno's speed did not slow down, and he rushed directly into the penalty area with great momentum. This made the Dutch midfielder very passive and could never find a chance to make a move. The closer he got to the penalty area, the less he dared to make moves easily, and could only keep retreating.
But just as he retreated into the penalty area, Bruno spotted an opportunity and suddenly flicked the ball horizontally. The football passed between Wijnaldum and Emre Can. Gundogan quickly stepped in and hit it directly with his right foot!
"Bruno crosses the ball..."
"Gündogan just hit the door!"
The football flew towards the goal at an extremely fast speed, but slightly missed the post and went out of the baseline. Gundogan knelt at the edge of Liverpool's penalty area, feeling extremely regretful.
He is anxious!
He has been waiting for opportunities, always waiting for Bruno to pass the ball, and he always believes that Bruno can pass the ball. In fact, Bruno also came out.
But when the opportunity came, he was anxious.
………………
"After the start of the second half, Manchester United launched its own offensive and played vigorously. Bruno, in particular, was extremely active and frequently created opportunities for his teammates. However, it is a pity that Manchester United players still lack the ability to seize opportunities."
Bruno just sprinted 20 meters with the ball, which also consumed a lot of energy.
On the football field, the most consuming thing is this kind of quick sprint. Bruno can only do it more than thirty times a game, and after each quick sprint, he needs a little time to slow down.
"It doesn't matter." Bruno walked over and pulled Gundogan up and encouraged, "It doesn't matter, Ilkay, I will pass the ball again and try to catch it next time."
Gundogan turned around and hugged Bruno, full of apologies.
This was an opportunity that Bruno had finally fought for, but he wasted it.
Sometimes, in a game, such an opportunity is once and for all. If it is wasted, it may not appear again.
"Believe me!" Bruno clapped vigorously, "If we work harder, the goal will definitely come!"
Bruno's loud appeal attracted the attention and even hostility of Liverpool players and Liverpool fans in the stands. The Liverpool players on the field looked at Bruno fiercely, while the Liverpool fans in the stands let out overwhelming boos, as if they wanted to drown Bruno in the boos.
But it's no use, Bruno will not be affected by these boos at all. There is only one thought in his mind, and that is to kill Liverpool. Even if he is hated by the opponent's players, booed by the opponent's fans, or even insulted, it is still a very happy thing.
As Ibrahimovic said, the most satisfying thing is to score a goal in front of the opponent's fans, and the opponent's boos are the best compliment.
………………
"Liverpool made a quick counterattack and Henderson made a long pass into the frontcourt."
"Van Dijk quickly stepped up and headed the ball to clear the ball."
"Gündogan dropped back and passed the ball to the left."
"Cancelo takes the ball forward and Manchester United counterattacks."
……
Cancelo brought the ball to the front court along the left wing and quickly passed it directly to Rashford in front.
Compared with Liverpool right back Joe Gomez, who is of the same age as him, Rashford has no advantage in speed and chooses to cut to the center after stopping the ball.
Bruno ran laterally from the right side to the front of the top area of the penalty area to ask for the ball.
Rashford's pass happened to be out of Wijnaldum's reach and came to Bruno.
Bruno did not choose to stop the ball, but lightly rubbed it, slowing down the speed of the ball, but it still rolled to the right, and he took a step forward.
Wijnaldum reacted very quickly. He knew very well how strong Bruno's shooting ability was. He immediately chose to get involved and blocked Bruno with his body, not giving him any chance to directly face the goal. .
Bruno also used his body to block Wijnaldum, not giving the Dutch midfielder a chance to reach the ball.
At this time, Emre Can had also quickly returned to defense and was about to form a double-team with Wijnaldum.
Bruno has a wide field of vision. Through the corner of his eye, he can clearly see Mbappe moving forward quickly, while Moreno is chasing him and following him back to defend.
………………
Bruno is teammates with Mbappe and has played many games with Moreno. He is very aware of the speed of the two: Moreno will never be Mbappe's opponent!
After making a quick decision, Bruno did not look back, blocked Wijnaldum with his body, and knocked the ball with his right heel before Emre Can could return to defense. The ball almost followed a straight line and quickly rolled towards the ribs of the penalty area.
After seeing Bruno pass the ball, Mbappe didn't understand it. He quickly shook Moreno away with a lunge, stopped with his right foot, swung his left foot, and fired a powerful volley.
Everyone at the scene only heard a bang. The football was like a cannonball, drawing an arc, almost grazing the left post, and went around the Liverpool goal.
Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet flew to save, but still failed to touch the ball.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!"
"In the 57th minute, Manchester United finally broke through Liverpool's goal!"
"Mbappe's long arc shot from the ribs of the penalty area was a wonderful goal. But for this goal, the talented French winger should thank his teammate Bruno!"
