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

Chapter 559 Mr. Key

Bruno got up from the ground. He no longer complained to the referee Martin Atkinson why Mkhitaryan was not given a yellow card, because judging from this foul, he had touched Manchester City's sore spot.

Manchester City has some difficulty coping with this kind of fast football.

In fact, Bruno's guess was almost the same. Guardiola has always regarded Manchester United as the strongest opponent and formulated this tactic.

However, there is a difference between Manchester City's football and Manchester United's football. Manchester City's football was derived from Barcelona's tikitaka. After all, it was created by Guardiola. It focuses on scene control, has a lot of ball control, and the offensive rhythm is not fast. The scene is gorgeous and full of master style and artist's temperament.

Manchester United's football was created by Mourinho. Mourinho's coaching tactics include solid defense, flexible offense, and carefully designed psychological tactics. He focuses on the compactness and stability of defense, and achieves defensive goals through close cooperation and overall struggle. On the offensive end, he emphasizes the team's organization and rhythm control, and creates threats through quick transitions and set-piece tactics.

These are actually two footballs with different temperaments.

………………

Manchester United continued to attack and Bruno became Manchester City's main target of defense.

In the 27th minute, someone from Manchester City finally got a yellow card. Mkhitaryan knocked Bruno down from behind and got a yellow card.

"This is Manchester City's first yellow card in this game. The referee Martin Atkinson was a bit lenient in his enforcement..." the commentator Lineker complained, "Mkhitaryan kept kicking Bruno and only got a card now..."

Manchester City fans were also dissatisfied with the referee Martin Atkinson's decision. They felt that the yellow card should not have been given. When they saw him showing the card to Mkhitaryan, the stands of the Etihad Stadium immediately booed.

Poor referee Martin Atkinson, he's in a tough spot.

………………

Bruno took Manchester United's free kick, but his direct free kick went wide of the goal.

Manchester City then launched an attack, but the ball was intercepted on the line of Bruno and Kante. Kante and Bruno teamed up to steal the ball from Bernardo Silva.

When Bruno is on defense, his defensive ability will be revealed. Facing these two people, no matter how powerful Bernardo Silva is, he will be defeated.

Bruno took the ball and dribbled forward. He was still far from the opponent's penalty area, so there was no need to pass or run quickly. However, his dribbling was not slow.

Mkhitaryan pressed forward again. It seemed that the yellow card he had just received had no effect on him. It seemed that Guardiola's order to them was to freeze themselves no matter what the situation was.

Bruno did not continue to entangle with Mkhitaryan. Although he might have committed another foul, it is unlikely that the referee Martin Atkinson would show yellow cards to the same person in such a short period of time, so forget about sending Mkhitaryan off the field for now.

Seeing Mkhitaryan coming up, he passed the ball to the wing, and Mbappe got the ball and wanted to break through.

After passing the ball, Bruno ran diagonally to Mbappe to provide support. If Mbappe could handle it himself, he would do it himself. If he couldn't, he would provide support.

Mbappe had no way to break through the experienced Delph. At the same time, he knew he couldn't stop, because once he stopped, Manchester City's defense would be formed.

So he passed the ball to Bruno who came up to receive it.

………………

Bruno had seen through Manchester City's defense before this. Since they had just intercepted Bernardo Silva's ball, Manchester City's team formation was still in the stage of switching from offense to defense and had not yet been fully formed, so there was still a chance to take advantage.

After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed the football to the other side.

He had already passed the ball before Fernandinho rushed over, but it was obviously too late.

Rashford made a cross from the bottom, but contrary to the expectations of Kompany, Otamendi and others, he did not pass the ball high. The ball drew an arc along the grass and rolled towards the penalty area!

Danilo, who was responsible for defending Rashford, was deceived. He jumped high and tried to block the cross with his body, but the ball went through his feet...

"This is a beautiful attack!"

Otamendi ran past because Rashford did not pass the ball directly to the goal, and the ball quickly passed behind him. He could only turn his head and follow the ball with his eyes. He saw the ball rolling near the penalty spot, where a Manchester United player and a Manchester City player appeared.

Manchester City's defense was a little dizzy due to Manchester United's series of quick transfers, and they even forgot to provide multiple protections in the penalty area. Large gaps appeared in front of the back line.

Such space will naturally be utilized by Bruno. After passing the ball, he runs diagonally towards the penalty area.

Sure enough, when Rashford passed the ball, there was no one in front of him. Faced with such a good opportunity, how could he miss it?

………………

Bruno, wearing a red jersey, is competing with Fernandinho for an advantageous position. He has successfully squeezed Fernandinho behind him. Now all he has to do is withstand the pressure and then shoot!

Fernandinho knew that he couldn't steal the ball from Bruno. All he could do now was to interfere, do everything possible to interfere with Bruno!

The ball was passed, Harry Kane attracted Manchester City's central defender for Bruno, and now Bruno only had to deal with Fernandinho.

He did not volley the ball with his thigh while running. In the penalty area, such slow movements would only give defensive players the opportunity to steal the ball.

Almost without any warning, he shot directly while running!

Fernandinho was half a beat late, and it was too late when he stepped forward to interfere. The ball flew between Harry Kane and Kompany.

When the football flew over, Harry Kane shrank his waist reflexively, and the football passed by his side and went straight into the goal!

"This is Bruno's shot--" Andy Gray shouted in a long voice.

Ederson was blocked by Kompany and Harry Kane, and Bruno's shot was sudden and fast. When he found that the ball was coming from Harry Kane's waist, it was too late.

All he could do was pray that the ball would hit the post or go wide. But that was impossible, the ball went straight over the goal line and crashed into the net!

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" Lineker shouted excitedly, "Manchester United finally equalized the score! In the 1rd minute, they equalized the score at the Etihad Stadium! 1:!"

"Bruno! This is his thirteenth goal against Manchester City! He is the undisputed Manchester City killer! He is... Mr. Key!"

"It was totally unexpected... From the beginning of the game, everyone thought Manchester City had the situation under control and it was only a matter of time before they won the game. Unexpectedly, the situation on the field suddenly changed in the past few minutes, Manchester United became active, and Bruno was the root of it all! His goal equalized the score for the team, and now both sides are back on the same starting line!"

"At this moment, I just want to see Guardiola's face! Aha! Bruno scored a goal, a goal against Guardiola's team!"

Bruno was very excited after scoring the goal. Although he scored many goals in the game against Manchester City, this did not make him satisfied.

What's more, the meaning of today's game is different. If Manchester United can beat Manchester City today, then Manchester United's title defense is almost a foregone conclusion, which is very beneficial for the upcoming schedule. Manchester United can focus more on the Champions League and the FA Cup.

He rushed towards the stands of Manchester City fans and punched them in protest.

Facing such an opponent, Manchester City fans were stunned for a second, and then began to boo and curse wildly.

"Don't be so complacent, bastard!" Countless middle fingers were pointed at him.

But at least at this moment, Bruno was indeed very proud, and they really had no way to deal with him.

………………

After showing off in front of Manchester City fans, Bruno was quickly hugged by his teammates, and everyone rushed to pat his head and shoulders.

"Well done, Bruno!"

"How the hell did you do that? That's awesome!"

"Ahaha! Bruno, you shut them all up!"

"Ooooh! One more!"

……

Everyone was shouting in his ears.

The more than 2,000 Manchester United fans at the Etihad Stadium can finally cheer at this moment.

"Manchester United! Manchester United! Manchester United!!!"

"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!!"

Seeing Bruno score a goal, Vanessa also jumped up excitedly in the private room, then raised her arms high and cheered for Bruno with the fans.

After arriving in the UK with Bruno, Vanessa began to step out from behind the scenes and started to appear in public as Bruno's girlfriend.

Before being banned by the United States and some European media, Vanessa was already one of the top models in Europe. Although she was not a household name, she was well-known.

The three-year ban and the following three years of low-key life reduced her popularity a lot, but when she reappeared in front of the world as Bruno's fiancée, she quickly regained her huge popularity and became a super popular star in the UK and even Europe.

In the past year or two, entertainment companies have approached her more than once, hoping that she would star in some film and television productions, some of which were directed by big-name directors.

However, Vanessa, who has already experienced the glory and bitterness of the entertainment industry, rejected all invitations. Now she just wants to accompany Bruno quietly and take care of their own little world.

Vanessa's performance shocked everyone around her. No one expected that the female star who was once so charming, sometimes pure, sometimes wild, and sometimes sexy on the catwalk would also have such crazy performances in private.
