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

Chapter 565: Killing

When the game entered injury time, Manchester United once again attacked Manchester City's 30-meter area.

When Gundogan received the pass from his teammate within 30 meters, his way was blocked by Manchester City's midfielder. He was forced to turn to the right and seek cooperation on the right side.

"here!"

When Gundogan needed support the most, Bruno suddenly appeared in the gap on the right side of the center and raised his hand to ask for the ball. The German midfielder passed the ball to him without hesitation and reminded him to pay attention to his side.

"careful!"

Bruno seemed to be prepared. Facing Gundogan's ball, he moved forward and suddenly started moving.

It was this sudden change that left Manchester City's Bernardo Silva empty-handed.

The area where Bruno received the ball made Manchester City's defenders very uncomfortable, especially after stopping the ball and passing Bernardo Silva, he could dribble directly to face Manchester City's back line, and Harry Kane also reacted quickly, turning around and preparing to rush forward.

Bruno dribbled the ball straight towards Manchester City's defense, quickly approached the penalty area, and passed the ball straight to try to pass it behind him.

Harry Kane also reacted quickly, running behind to catch the ball after being offside.

Unexpectedly, Manchester City captain Kompany reacted faster. He slid down to the ground and intercepted the ball, preventing it from being passed behind him.

But Bruno's reaction was also very quick. He rushed after the football again in the first moment, and got ahead of the opponent's other central defender Otamendi. He kicked the ball that Kompany had shoveled away to the left with his right foot. After dribbling past the opponent's central defender Otamendi, he kicked a curved ball with the inside of his left foot in the top area of ​​the arc in front of the penalty area.

The ball drew a beautiful parabola, slowly fell, and hit the upper left corner of Manchester City's goal.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 91st minute, in the 91st minute, Bruno scored the second goal of the game!"

“3:2, Manchester United reversed the score!”

"Even though the penalty was misjudged, Bruno was not affected too much. He still led Manchester United to launch a tenacious counterattack and eventually scored his second goal of the game, helping Manchester United reverse the score!"

"The current situation is very favorable for Manchester United!"

When Bruno took this shot, he already had a very strong feeling that the ball was there!

The shot was in the right place, at the right angle, and it was securely hit with the inside of the foot. It would be unfair if this ball didn't go in!

When he saw that although the opponent's goalkeeper Ederson stretched his arms as far as possible and flew to save the ball, he still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net, he excitedly turned around and rushed out of the penalty area and ran all the way out of the field.

"fantastic!"

"Bruno performed very well in tonight's game. Not only did he score two goals himself, he also planned the second goal for Manchester United. It can be said that Bruno is definitely the number one contributor to Manchester United's victory over Manchester City away from home!"

………………

When Guardiola saw Bruno hit this curve ball, he shook his head in frustration.

After he became the head coach of Manchester City, his unbeaten record against Manchester United continued.

Guardiola himself is a professional player and a defender at that. He knows very well how difficult it is to defend against a superstar like Bruno.

Guardiola's face was full of helplessness and his heart was filled with sadness.

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Mourinho jumped up with excitement.

It was not easy for Manchester United to win today's game. They fell behind twice and the referee missed a penalty kick, which put Manchester United on the brink of losing the game again and again.

However, under the leadership of Bruno, Manchester United played very tenaciously. They fell behind twice and equalized twice, until now they scored the winning goal in injury time and reversed the score.

Bruno's goal not only helped Manchester United reverse the opponent in this game, but also almost helped Manchester United lock in the league championship this season.

Leading by 6 points with only six games left in the league, Mourinho didn't know how he could lose.

………………

Manchester United finally equalized twice after falling behind twice thanks to Bruno's brace and Harry Kane's goal, and finally reversed Manchester City 3:2 away from home.

Guardiola's team suffered their first home defeat of the season.

In response to this, Manchester City's head coach said after the game that he had nothing to say about the loss.

"We tried our best but there was nothing we could do to stop Bruno's attack."

Mourinho also praised Bruno, who was once again named Man of the Match.

After scoring twice in this game, Bruno's Premier League goals this season reached 38, tying the Premier League single-season goal record he set last season.

This also allows him to continue to lead the Premier League scorer list. Behind him are Liverpool striker Salah and Manchester United striker teammate Harry Kane. Both of them have scored 29 goals and have performed very well.

Salah's outstanding performance has attracted widespread attention. Liverpool legend Ian Rush expressed his opinion that only Ronaldo, Yosi and Bruno are at the same level as Salah.

Ian Rush told Sky Sports: "You look at Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez and he (Salah) is a big name as well. His performances are absolutely amazing but the fact is he is also very down to earth.

"The game against Watford was the best I've ever seen him play. Not only because he scored four goals, but also because of his selfless style of play and he also looked for scoring opportunities for his teammates. I have only seen three players reach this level, that is Yosi and Cristiano Ronaldo. As for the other guy, I don't want to mention him."

Mourinho also said that the referee missed a penalty for Manchester United, otherwise Manchester United would not have won so hard.

In fact, after the game, the "penalty" was also one of the focuses of media attention. The media supporting Manchester United believed that there was no doubt that it was a penalty, while the media supporting Manchester City believed that if a penalty was awarded, it would be the biggest scandal.

"Just because the FA favours Manchester United, it doesn't mean that referee Martin Atkinson should also favour Manchester United."

In the eyes of Manchester United's opponents, Manchester United has always been taken care of by the English FA. Although Manchester United often encounters unfair penalties, they don't care about that.

………………

From the slow-motion replay, it can be seen that there was indeed physical contact between Kante and Kompany, but there are different opinions on whether a penalty should be awarded, and there is no authoritative and correct answer.

"Kompany knocked me down, there's no doubt about it, it should have been a penalty!"

After the game, Kante seemed very unconvinced when being interviewed in the mixed zone.

He also received a yellow card for this, which left a hidden danger for his future games. If he receives another yellow card, he will automatically be suspended for one game.

The yellow card suspension rules of the Premier League are somewhat different from those of other leagues. In the Premier League, if a player accumulates five yellow cards, he will be suspended for one round. However, the yellow cards he received before will not be cancelled after the suspension. If he accumulates 10 yellow cards in total, he will be suspended for two games. After that, if he accumulates 15 yellow cards, he will be suspended for three games. And so on, the number of suspensions will gradually increase.

There are also special regulations. First, if a player receives five yellow cards before the club's 19th Premier League game of the season, he will be suspended for one game.

Secondly, if he receives 32 yellow cards in the club's 10nd Premier League game of the season or before, he will be suspended for two games.

Once again, if a player receives 15 yellow cards before the club's last game of the season (including the last game of the season), he will be suspended for 3 games.

Finally, if a player receives 20 yellow cards before the club's last game of the season (including the last game of the season), the number of matches of suspension will be decided by the Supervisory Committee.

Kante had received 8 yellow cards before this game and received another yellow card in this game. If he receives one more, he will be automatically suspended.

It seemed unprofitable to argue with the referee Martin Atkinson about this penalty, but the penalty was really important to the team at the time, and Kante didn't care about how many yellow cards he had.

The good news is that today's game is Manchester United's 32nd Premier League game of the season, allowing Kante to avoid the special punishment of being suspended for two games if he receives another yellow card.

………………

Kompany, one of the parties involved, believes that he did not commit a foul: "I did touch him, but it was just normal physical contact. I didn't even use any force, he just fell down. As players, we all know what happened..."

He didn't directly say that Kanter dived, but everyone knew what he meant.

At the post-match press conference, this controversial decision also became the focus of debate between reporters and the head coach.

The Guardian reporter asked Guardiola directly: "It was a penalty, right?"

Guardiola said with a straight face: "Obviously not. Kompany told me after the game that the opponent was diving. I believe my players. The referee Martin Atkinson made a very correct decision. I know it is not easy to enforce the law in a game like the Manchester derby, not to mention that our opponent is a 'giant team' favored by the English Football Association."

Mourinho said it was definitely a penalty: "It is undoubtedly a penalty, no problem at all. Our player was pushed down by the opponent in the penalty area. If there is no penalty for such a foul, then what else is worthy of a penalty?"

A reporter from the Manchester Evening News told him that Kante's fall was a bit exaggerated.

Mourinho said angrily: "Kante is a very honest player. I know him very well. He can't dive. As a defensive midfielder, he is always the victim of opponents' diving. He always hates diving."

Mourinho was angry at anyone for questioning his players, and then he refused to answer questions about whether it was a penalty, preferring to talk about Bruno's goal.

It's just that on an occasion like today, although Bruno's two goals to help Manchester United reverse the victory was also a major hype point, it was not as attractive as controversial topics such as the misjudged penalty.

So those reporters are still asking questions about the penalty kick tirelessly. It would be even more interesting if Mourinho could reveal some explosive news.

………………

Even after the press conference ended, the debate about the foul in the final stages of the game continued on online media.

After the game, Bruno kept receiving calls and text messages from familiar reporters who wanted him to talk about the penalty, but Bruno was tired of such discussions.

"There's nothing to complain about, whether the penalty should have been awarded or not... I don't know, I wasn't there, I didn't see it all. But Kante said he was hit hard by Kompany... What's the use? The game is over."

"I don't think that should be our focus, the focus is that we won the game in the end. We are unstoppable, no matter who can stop us from winning the league championship again."

"I don't want to talk about this issue anymore. What I'm thinking about now is the upcoming Champions League game. Although we had a big advantage at home in the first leg, Roma is a unique team. Think about the last round of knockouts, when Barcelona also had the same huge advantage at home as us. I think the Barcelona people must have thought they had one foot in the quarterfinals, but in the end, Roma beat the powerful Barcelona 3-0 at home, making the Universe team a laughing stock in world football. I don't want this to happen to Manchester United."

………………

Three days later, Manchester United was indeed blocked by the Romans at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Both sides played without reservation from the beginning and the game was very unrestrained.

Although he had rested for less than seventy-two hours, Bruno still continued his excellent form in the Manchester derby. Just thirteen minutes into the game, he received an assist from Cancelo on the right and shot low with his right foot in the penalty area, penetrating the Roma goal.

But just nine minutes later, Roma equalized the score.

After the second half, Roma scored a goal and overtook the score in just four minutes.

After the game resumed, Bruno kept looking for opportunities and ran very actively. His teammates also understood his ideas and took the initiative to create opportunities for him.

Roma's defensive players followed Bruno throughout the game, running around in a hurry, and finally revealed a flaw again.

In the 70th minute, Mata passed the ball to the right. After receiving the ball, Cancelo quickly dribbled forward and passed it to Bruno at the front of the penalty area.

As soon as he received the ball, Bruno quickly turned around and cut inside, but Roma's left-back followed him closely, and the returning midfielder also blocked the front of the penalty area, leaving Bruno no chance at all.

Bruno started quickly, then suddenly kicked the ball into the penalty area with his left foot, and rushed into the penalty area. But after the Roma left back quickly caught up, Bruno suddenly stopped and kicked the ball back with his right foot.

The two consecutive actions happened in an instant. Before the defensive players had time to react, Bruno had already created a gap and kicked a curve ball with his left foot again.

The ball passed over the opponent's goalkeeper's hands and hit the goal behind him.

2: 2!

Scored twice!
