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

Bruno clapped his hands and said: "I think what Mr. Mourinho said is right. We should reduce the time we have the ball in the midfield. This will make it easier for West Ham United to defend - as long as they block our midfield, we can't attack."

After infecting the team with his passion, Bruno calmly analyzed the situation.

"I hope everyone will run in the game, Luke and Joao should also actively assist, don't think about defense first, we must score as soon as possible. Don't pass every ball to me, let me organize the attack... Let me tell you my idea here - we can pass the ball directly to the wing without going through me, or we can just pass it long to Harry in front. In short, I am a decoration here, and my main role is to attract the attention of West Ham United's defense. They are staring at me very closely, and I don't have much opportunity to pass the ball. But I believe they always have two or three people to double-team me, and the defense will definitely be empty in other places. I can't pass the ball, but you can. They don't pay much attention to your defense, which we can take advantage of. Send the ball to someone who is more threatening than me."

Bruno finished speaking and everyone nodded.

"I have nothing more to say, let your feet speak for you, guys. There are still 45 minutes left, we have the hope and the ability to win today's game!"

………………

After the start of the second half, West Ham United players quickly discovered the changes in Manchester United. They were different from the first half.

In the first half, Manchester United players would pass the ball to Bruno after getting the ball, letting him organize the attack or control the rhythm. This made it easy for West Ham United to defend. They only needed to keep a close eye on Bruno and put pressure on him, so Manchester United's attack could not be launched. Therefore, they could suppress Manchester United at home for 45 minutes and scored a goal.

But in the second half, Manchester United adjusted their tactics and ignored Bruno, or Bruno's role in Manchester United's overall tactical system suddenly became unimportant.

Manchester United began to emphasize wing attacks. They actually have two full-backs who are good at assists, and two fast and technically skilled wingers. Why not make good use of them?

Although Bruno doesn't pass the ball directly to organize the attack, he can use gestures and words to command the team on the court. After all, West Ham United players can keep an eye on his body, but they can't freeze his mind.

"Pass the ball to Marcus!"

"Pass the ball straight to the empty space in front!"

"Pass it back, pass it back! There's no chance ahead!"

"Very good, very good... Big foot transfer, there is space on the right!"

"Pass it to me, use force! Okay..."

……

When the ball was really passed to him by his teammates, Bruno spread his legs and let the ball pass. The West Ham United players who came up to grab it were empty-handed.

So people saw Bruno waving his arms and shouting loudly on the field more often. He didn't look like a player but more like a head coach on the field.

………………

Manchester United's style of play made West Ham United unable to react for a while, and Manchester United also seized this opportunity.

Manchester United launched an attack 11 minutes into the second half. Goalkeeper De Gea kicked the ball forward, and Bruno won the header competition with Noble. He headed the ball down in front of Noble and passed it to Gundogan, who then directed Gundogan to pass the ball to defender Cancelo on the wing.

After Cancelo got the ball, he moved forward, attracted the attention of West Ham United's defense, and suddenly passed the ball straight. Striker Harry Kane, who was supposed to be in the middle, moved to the side and received the pass.

Then he dribbled the ball down the line and made a cross!

Rashford competed with Diop for a header in the middle, but neither of them touched the ball. The ball flew straight past the goal and flew to the back post.

Mbappe appeared at the back post. He did not stop the ball, but instead got ready to face the incoming ball.

"Mbappe! Shoot it directly in the air!"

The football hit the target with a bang and flew straight to the near corner of the goal.

West Ham United goalkeeper Fabianski made a desperate save, but only touched the ball with his fingertips...

"BUT! BUT! BUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!" The French commentator burst into a huge roar, "Mbappe! He helped Manchester United equalize the score! Wow! Beautiful! So beautiful!"

………………

After scoring the goal, Mbappe excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, but was soon surrounded by his excited teammates. They slapped Mbappe's face and shouted, "Nice job, Kylian!"

"A world-class goal! Your shot was so cool!"

"I thought this attack was over, but I didn't expect you to be guarding at the back post...Haha!"

"Did you see Fabianski's face? He couldn't believe it!"

……

Mbappe said to everyone excitedly: "Isn't this the way it should be? We are going to challenge Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record!"

"That's right! Create a record! We are going to create a new Premier League unbeaten record!"

………………

Manchester United's morale was high after they equalized the score. After West Ham United kicked off, they quickly seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on West Ham United's territory. Because before the kick-off, Bruno told them: "We need to score more goals. 1:1 is not enough, 2:1 is not safe either. We need to strive for 3:1, 4:1!"

Now attack is the only thought of the Manchester United team. They will never consider any conservative counterattacks, even though their defense is very good, but they are more confident in their ability to score goals.

We want to create a new Premier League unbeaten record, West Ham United is just a hurdle that we must overcome on the road.

After falling behind, West Ham United wanted to equalize the score quickly, but just as they launched an attack, they were beaten back by Manchester United's fierce fire.

Bruno still rarely got the ball, and the team's attack mostly bypassed him and passed the ball directly to the front. Most of the time, Bruno just ran from one place to another and talked.

But don't think that he will just let things go. Once West Ham United relaxes their defense on him, he will immediately reach out for the ball, and after receiving it, he will pass the ball to a threatening area that he has already identified.

West Ham United was not used to this style of play by Manchester United. Their captain Noble followed Bruno but did nothing. Then he saw the gaps appearing behind him frequently, but he could not help. Because once he jumped, Manchester United would immediately pass the ball to Bruno, who would organize the attack, which made him very uncomfortable.

………………

West Ham United coach Pellegrini currently has two choices: one is to stabilize the defense and maintain the score of 1:1 until the end of the game; the other is to strengthen the offense and strive to take the lead again.

Pellegrini thought about it and decided to intensify the attack.

West Ham United is not a team that is good at defense. Last season, they conceded 38 goals in 69 Premier League games, the second most conceded team. In the first six rounds of this season, they also conceded 6 goals, the fourth most conceded team. However, their opponent Manchester United is the most powerful attacking team in the Premier League. With their weak defensive ability, they will definitely not be able to stop Manchester United's attack.

On the contrary, West Ham United, which has Arnautovic, Anderson and Yarmolenko, actually has good offensive capabilities and is capable of scoring goals against Manchester United.

Of course, Pellegrini is more concerned about defeating Manchester United at home and ending their unbeaten record. This is very beneficial to boosting the morale of West Ham United.

Under the leadership of Moyes, West Ham United successfully avoided relegation last season from being a relegation favorite; and this summer, the Hammers made a large number of signings in the transfer market, naturally hoping to make a difference. Pellegrini does not want his team to continue to be stuck in the relegation zone.

The Chilean engineer stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, whistled and gestured to the West Ham United players on the field, indicating that they should intensify the attack and attack out, instead of always staying in their own 30-meter area.

………………

But if you want to attack, you need a sharp knife figure who can lead the whole team to attack. Just like a train parked on the rails, the most laborious time is to start from rest. West Ham United is now at a standstill, they need to start, and they need a powerful locomotive.

Who is suitable?

Anderson is the attacking midfielder, but he is under close marking by Kante.

Noble can also organize the attack, pass the ball from the back, or be responsible for the rhythm of the team. But he was dragged down by Bruno.

Declan Rice is too young and Obiang's offensive organization ability is almost negligible...

After looking around, Yarmolenko is the only one. This Ukrainian winger, who is called the new Shevchenko by Ukrainian fans, has good breakthrough and passing abilities.

He rolled his hands into trumpets, put them to his mouth and shouted, "Andri! Andri!"

Yarmolenko heard the coach's call and looked over.

"Take more balls and make more breakthroughs!" Pellegrini waved to Yarmolenko.

Yarmolenko nodded to show that he heard it.

………………

Noble passed the ball to Yarmolenko, who dribbled it out as soon as he received it. He faced Manchester United's left-back Luke Shaw, while Mbappe was waiting behind him.

Yarmolenko did not give the two players a chance to complete the encirclement. He made a fake move to break through the inside, tricking Luke Shaw into shifting his center of gravity. He then suddenly dunked the ball back, pushed the ball forward with his right foot, and broke through Luke Shaw along the sideline.

The West Ham United commentator said happily: "Luke Shaw was like a training cone in front of Yarmolenko and was easily broken through!"

Yarmolenko broke through Luke Shaw and cut into the penalty area, then shot. The ball was blocked by De Gea and landed in front of the goal. Then Maguire cleared the ball before Arnautovic and resolved the crisis.

Although the ball was not lost this time, it is clear that Yarmolenko has become a major concern for Manchester United. If he is allowed to become active, then Manchester United's defense will be very worrying.

Bruno looked at the situation and said to Kante: "N'Golo, you continue to defend Anderson, I will defend Yarmolenko."

Kante nodded, without objection or surprise. It was not the first time that Bruno went to the wing to defend. Kante was very confident in his defensive ability.

………………

Yarmolenko announced to his teammates that he was active again with a beautiful breakthrough and a very threatening shot. So West Ham United's players passed the ball to him one after another. His side was the most threatening wing for West Ham United's attack. Obiang could only distract Manchester United's defense and could not do anything else.

When Yarmolenko received the ball again, he found that the person in front of him was not Luke Shaw, but Bruno.

Yarmolenko didn't care. He kicked the ball out and accelerated to chase the ball.

Bruno turned around and chased after him in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Yarmolenko was slightly faster than Bruno, but he was carrying the ball, while Bruno was chasing after him. Bruno soon caught up with Yarmolenko, and he grabbed Yarmolenko's shoulder with one hand and poked the football with his foot.

When Yarmolenko saw Bruno approaching him, he knew that the chances of a forced breakthrough were very low. So he suddenly stopped and used the outside of his left foot to hook the ball back. Bruno rushed over, but he didn't loosen his grip and still held Yarmolenko's shoulder. Yarmolenko wanted to turn around and break through from the inside, but he was firmly held by him.

Seeing that he could not break through and the opponent's defense was well organized, Yarmolenko had no more decent chances, so he simply fell to the ground in pain, holding his ankle.

The referee blew the whistle and called a foul on Bruno.

………………

Bruno knew what Yarmolenko was planning. He reached out his hand to Yarmolenko, who was still lying on the ground and couldn't get up. "Stop pretending. Get up. You have achieved your goal."

Yarmolenko laughed, then got up from the ground, touched his shoulder and said: "But you did hurt me."

"Then you cover your ankle too..." Bruno rolled his eyes.

West Ham United took a free kick, and Arnautovic headed the ball, but due to Van Dijk's interference, he missed the ball and it went wide of the goal.

Although this attack did not result in a goal, it made Pellegrini determined to make Yarmolenko the core of the attack.

In the following games, whenever West Ham United attacked, the ball would continue to flow to Yarmolenko's feet.

Bruno also tightened his defense on Yarmolenko, almost staying close to him. When Manchester United was defending, he deliberately kept himself close to Yarmolenko, and rushed to defend as soon as the opponent got the ball.

Facing this persistent Bruno, Yarmolenko's breakthrough was not effective. Bruno always anticipated the opponent's moves. If Yarmolenko wanted to break into the inside, Bruno would be waiting for him inside. If Yarmolenko's breakthrough inside was just a cover, and his real intention was to go down the sideline, Bruno would decisively kick the ball out of the sideline.

Yarmolenko could only rely on his speed to force his way past Bruno, but such an opportunity did not come at any time or place. It was almost impossible to break through Bruno by starting and accelerating on the spot, because Bruno was stuck in position. No matter how fast he was, he could not violate the laws of physics when starting.
