Sure enough, Dembele did not come up, and Ben Davies followed Bruno closely, not giving him any chance to turn around.
At the same time, Tottenham striker Son Heung-min followed Valencia and they did not intend to give Bruno any direction to pass the ball.
The opponent was pressing closer and closer to the right sideline. Tottenham's defensive strategy was to force Bruno to take the ball out of bounds by himself. This is a very common but also very practical defensive strategy.
"The closer the defense, the easier it is to fall for fake moves, as long as you move fast enough!"
This is what Ronaldo once told him.
At this moment, Bruno had no choice. Due to the power confrontation that lasted for half a year, Ben Davies' body squeeze behind him did not make Bruno lose his balance. He just staggered a little, but still carried the ball steadily.
He is watching his opponent, and his opponent is also watching him.
When Bruno suddenly accelerated forward, Ben Davis was surprised, thinking that Bruno was going to use his speed to get rid of his defense, and immediately followed from Bruno's right side.
The left side is the sideline, and his defensive instinct tells him that as long as the right side is blocked, Bruno will not be able to fly.
But Bruno was waiting for this. As soon as Ben Davies moved, Bruno skillfully hooked the ball behind him with his left foot, and suddenly stopped and turned from the left.
Suddenly, the ball came in front of Bruno, and Bruno turned around smoothly.
“Cruyff turns around!!”
………………
The entire new Wembley Stadium exclaimed in amazement.
Bruno turned around and faced the direction of attack, while Ben Davis had his back to him, and the situation was completely reversed.
Bruno quickly rushed forward with the ball, and without waiting for Dembele to get close, he passed the ball to Gundogan in the middle.
Gündo understood the hint and moved diagonally towards the middle.
Dembele was worried about the middle and quickly approached Dale.
But suddenly, Gundogan, who was originally facing the top of the penalty area, passed the ball behind Dembele.
Bruno cut in behind Dembele at the fastest speed, and after receiving the pass from Gundogan, he was already at the front of the penalty area.
At this time, the only person standing in his way was center back Vertonghen.
"It was a quick attack from Manchester United down the right. Bruno got the ball at the edge of the box and was very fast."
Vertonghen became the last defensive player in the team. He knew very well that if he failed to stop Bruno, he would have a one-on-one chance once he entered the penalty area. So he was very focused and kept his eyes on Bruno. He didn't dare to slack off even if the sweat was running down his eyebrows and eyes. He just focused on silently calculating Bruno who was getting closer and closer.
But just as Bruno was about to enter his defense zone, he unexpectedly accelerated and made a move to cut towards the top of the arc.
Almost instantly, Vertonghen realized something was wrong.
Before the game, Tottenham also made sufficient preparations for Bruno. The report given to him by the scout clearly showed that Bruno's left and right foot abilities were excellent.
If Bruno cut sideways to the top of the arc, he could shoot directly with his left foot.
………………
"Damn it!" Vertonghen didn't have time to think about it. He knew very well that if he was a few tenths of a second slower, Bruno might have shot directly at him and created a fatal opportunity.
But just when Vertonghen moved his center of gravity to the right and wanted to block Bruno, he suddenly felt the figure in front of him shake. Bruno did not cut inside, but slipped past his left side.
"Exceptionally beautiful!"
But just when Bruno quickly passed Vertonghen, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and was getting closer and closer.
what happened?
Bruno didn't even have time to see who it was, his instinctive reaction was that the other team's goalkeeper attacked.
But this is the front of the penalty area. Did the goalkeeper attack too far?
There was no time for Bruno to think about it.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful to the training master system. It was the system that had been telling him over the past six years that he must try his best to keep the ball under his control no matter what. So even when he dribbled past Vertonghen just now, the ball was not out of his control. So when the opponent's goalkeeper decisively attacked and rushed forward with open arms, Bruno took the opportunity to poke forward.
Tottenham's French goalkeeper Lori was determined to succeed in this attack. He had long seen through Bruno's move to the middle as a feint, so he abandoned the goal and rushed to Vertonghen's left side at the first opportunity.
His calculation was clear, and when Bruno dribbled past Vertonghen, he saved the ball.
People can pass, but the ball must stay!
………………
But what was unexpected was that Lori's determined attack this time suddenly turned out to be a failure.
When Bruno dribbled past Vertonghen, he reacted surprisingly quickly, and the ball was still under his control, allowing him to poke the ball past Lori.
Lowry quickly turned sideways and tried to intercept the ball, but was still a step too slow.
How could his passive reaction be as fast as the ball?
Bruno accelerated and chased after him. Before the ball went out of bounds, he swept it sideways, and the ball almost brushed the right post and hit the Tottenham goal. Bruno rushed out of the field and hit the opposite billboard.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 38th minute, Manchester United tenaciously equalized the score!"
"Oh my god, what a solo performance, Bruno!"
The entire new Wembley Stadium was filled with exclamations, and Tottenham fans were shocked by the sudden goal.
The entire process of scoring a goal seems long and complicated, but in fact, on the field, it just happens in the blink of an eye. It is so fast that most fans may not even have time to see it clearly before the ball goes in.
Only Bruno hitting the billboard behind the goal and the football inside the goal line reminded everyone: Manchester United scored!
Bruno climbed up from the billboard, raised his hands and clenched his fists, and yelled, but he was quickly hugged by his teammates who came running over.
"This is an absolutely astonishing goal that fully demonstrates Bruno's outstanding personal ability."
"From the Cruyff turn at the beginning, to the subsequent pendulum pass, to the final shot past the goalkeeper, all reflected Bruno's outstanding strength. This can be said to be a wonderful goal."
………………
The first half ended in a 1:1 tie.
In the 38th minute, Manchester United equalized the score with the help of Bruno's individual performance, which greatly boosted Manchester United's fighting spirit and also dealt a heavy blow to Tottenham's morale.
This is the FA Cup semi-final, and one game will decide the outcome.
Pochettino obviously did not expect that Bruno could still break through the defense, bring the ball into the penalty area and score.
It was indeed a brilliant goal, but it also brought disaster to Tottenham.
During the half-time break, Mourinho highly praised the players' performance in the first half.
"As long as we defend and freeze Eriksen, we can take away a victory from the new Wembley Stadium!"
Both sides returned to the game.
In the second half, Tottenham began to adopt a more proactive tactics, which was a choice they had no choice.
Although the opposing Manchester United is young, they are very motivated and many players in the team have experienced the baptism of last season. Although they are young, they are not lacking in experience.
Tottenham pressed forward, and Manchester United actively tightened their defense and launched a counterattack.
In the 48th minute, Ali and Eriksen cooperated, and Eriksen was tripped to the ground by Valencia.
The referee gave Valencia a yellow card and gave Tottenham a direct free kick opportunity in a good position.
Eriksen took the free kick himself. He hoped to kick it directly into the dead corner, but Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea judged the correct direction and saved the ball directly, failing to create a threat.
………………
Afterwards, Tottenham launched frequent attacks, but Manchester United played steadily and defended in their own half.
In the first ten minutes of the second half, Manchester United didn't even have a single shot on goal. They just defended and managed to hold off Tottenham's attack.
Bruno, the attacking midfielder, also actively retreated to his own 30-meter area to participate in the defense. This shows how powerful Tottenham's attack was and how dangerous the situation in front of Manchester United's goal was.
But if the attack continues for a long time, problems will inevitably be exposed.
In the 74th minute, Bruno was entangled with Dembele on defense, and Kante suddenly made a tackle and poked the ball away from Dembele's feet.
Valencia quickly made a run on the right, caught up with the ball, faced Ben Davies, and passed the ball to Bruno, while he continued to rush forward along the right side.
Bruno understood what he meant and knocked the ball back to Valencia.
"A quick counter attack from Manchester United's right flank."
"Bruno and Valencia's one-two combination!"
After getting the ball, Valencia quickly rushed along the right. Bruno was also very fast, but he deliberately lagged behind Valencia a little and moved closer to the center.
Ben Davies chased Valencia all the way, but the spoof right back was really fast. The two of them chased Valencia closely, making the fans of the new Wembley Stadium nervous.
Finally, Valencia failed to get rid of Ben Davies and failed to get the chance to cut inside, but rushed to the right side of the penalty area and made a direct cross.
This kick was just like the one he and Bruno did on the Carrington training ground after their daily training session, except that the defender in front of Bruno was not Maguire, but Vertonghen.
Valencia's ball reached the right side of the penalty spot, and Bruno quickly passed through Vertonghen's defense. Just like he did in training, he didn't stop the ball and shot it directly into the left side of the goal.
The ball went in again!
