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

Chapter 566 I’m going to vomit

In the end, Manchester United drew 2:2 with Roma at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, eliminating their opponent with a total score of 6:3 in two rounds and advancing to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League.

Also advancing was the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. The Southern Kings drew 2-1 with Sevilla at home and advanced with an aggregate score of : in two rounds.

A day later, the other two quarter-finals were decided.

尽管皇家马德里在主场1:3告负，但由于首回合在客场3:0胜出，两回合的总比分定格在4:3，银河战舰淘汰尤文图斯。

而曼城在主场1:0小胜波尔图，两回合总比分1:0，蓝月亮继2015-2016赛季后，队史第二次晋级欧冠四强。

The top four teams of the Champions League are all in place, and their lineups are so luxurious that they are unprecedented in history. The star-studded Real Madrid, the star-studded Bundesliga South Kings, and the Manchester City duo Manchester United and Manchester City are definitely the best teams in the world of football today.

The semi-final matchup is also very exciting.

Will there be a Premier League civil war, or two Premier League teams playing two non-Premier League teams?

Will there be a head-on confrontation between the Portuguese twin stars Bruno and Ronaldo, and will Mourinho and Guardiola each face off against their old clubs?

The suspense was revealed at 4 noon GMT on April 13th. The result was the first Manchester derby in the Champions League semi-final, and Real Madrid faced Bayern Munich.

………………

When the results came out, the whole of Britain was in an uproar.

Many British media said that this was definitely an inside story. UEFA did not want the Premier League teams to meet in the Champions League final, so it arranged for the two Manchester teams to meet in the Champions League semi-finals.

Of course, some people also said that this is a good result, because it means that at least one Premier League team will enter the Champions League final this season. This is also the first time in six years that a team has advanced to the Champions League final.

The players of Manchester United and Manchester City are feeling like vomiting, because with the two teams meeting in the Champions League semi-finals, it has been decided that the Manchester derby will be staged 6 times this season!

Yes, that’s 6 times!

In addition to the two rounds of league matches, the two sides also met twice in the League Cup semi-finals. Add to that the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, and it really makes people feel like vomiting.

This is turning the Premier League into the Swiss and Scottish Premier League!

In fact, even in the Scottish Premier League or the Swiss Premier League, it is difficult for the two teams to meet six times in a season.

Playing so many Manchester derbies in a season is a bit too much for both teams.

Especially for Manchester City, which has had poor results in the Manchester derby in the past two years, there is a sense of sadness throughout the team.

………………

On the afternoon of April 4th, at Old Trafford, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced West Bromwich Albion.

Mourinho continued to rotate the players and did not send all the main players. Bruno, Gundogan and Rashford did not start, but for the sake of safety, these three players were put on the bench. After all, a day ago, Manchester City had defeated Tottenham 3-1 at the new Wembley Stadium, narrowing the gap with Manchester United to 5 points.

Facts have also proved that Mourinho's cautious approach is not without reason.

Throughout the game, Manchester United's offense played poorly. Mata, Lingard and others failed to organize threatening attacks, and Mahrez, Ibrahimovic and Mbappe in front failed to pose a threat.

In contrast, under the pressure of survival in the relegation zone, West Bromwich Albion played more actively and in better condition on the field.

Fortunately, the defense was well organized in this game. Until one hour into the game, the score was still 0:0.

From the 60th minute, Manchester United made continuous substitutions, but there was still no improvement.

In the 0rd minute, Blunt made a cross from the right corner, McTominay's header clearance error turned into an own goal assist, and Rodriguez headed the ball into the goal on the small penalty area line, and the score on the field was rewritten to 1:.

………………

As a last resort, in the 76th minute, Mourinho had to use his third substitution and put Bruno on the bench to replace Mata, showing his determination to win.

After Bruno came on the pitch, Manchester United's offense began to improve, but West Bromwich Albion made three consecutive substitutions and continued to strengthen their defense.

The game between the two sides was very stalemate, and at one point people felt that Manchester United's first defeat of the season would be at the hands of West Bromwich Albion, the second-to-last team.

But in the 93rd minute of stoppage time in the second half, left-back Luke Shaw suddenly came in and made a diagonal pass to the back post from the left.

Bruno quickly shook off the defender and got to the left corner of the small penalty area. He stopped the ball with his chest and shot with his left foot. The ball went over the West Bromwich goalkeeper's head and fell into the left side of the goal.

"Jueping!"

"This is a true last-second equalizer!"

"Bruno's goal showed his efficiency as an outstanding scorer!"

"He didn't get many chances after coming on as a substitute. This was his second shot of the game, but he shot with his left foot from a narrow angle and broke through West Brom's goal!"

"This is Bruno's 39th Premier League goal this season. He broke the Premier League single-season goal record he set last season, and also tied his personal career league single-season goal record!"

"Everyone has to admit that Bruno's efficiency and stability, as well as his core role in the offensive end, are what the current Manchester United relies on. In the current Manchester United team, no one can replace him!"

………………

The entire Old Trafford stadium was cheering Bruno's name.

The last-second equalizer in the final moments, even though the opponent was only West Bromwich Albion, the second-to-last team in the Premier League, still made all the Manchester United fans cheer!

Because of this goal, Manchester United avoided the first defeat of the season and continued to maintain its unbeaten record this season.

If they really suffer a defeat against the second-to-last team, Manchester United players can already imagine how the media will scold them next.

Of course, what is even more frustrating is that they did not lose to a strong opponent like Manchester City, but ended up losing to the bottom team in the league. This is truly unacceptable.

Now it’s good, the team doesn’t have to lose.

Manchester United players also rushed forward and surrounded Bruno.

No matter whether they were convinced before or not, no matter whether their impression of Bruno was good or bad, at least at this moment, they had to admit it.

Bruno is Bruno, he is stable and efficient. As long as you give him the chance, he will reward you with goals!

The most depressed person in the whole game was the head coach of West Bromwich Albion, because he once thought that his team could get the three key points to avoid relegation, but unexpectedly, in the end it was broken by Bruno's shot.

But what could he say?
