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

After helping Manchester United to reverse and win three consecutive games, Bruno temporarily left Manchester United and returned to Portugal to serve the team because the second international match day of the new season is here.

On this international match day, the Portuguese national team will still face the situation of being without Ronaldo, and even in the next national team matches this year, Ronaldo will be absent.

Just last week, on the eve of Santos announcing the new Portuguese national team roster, Ronaldo had already applied to the Portuguese Football Association that he would continue to not participate in the Portuguese national team's roster in October and November. This means that Ronaldo will no longer play for the Portuguese national team in 10. Everything will have to wait until 11. Ronaldo will decide based on his own situation in the future.

Ronaldo made this decision because, on the one hand, after winning the World Cup this summer and becoming the third recognized king of world football, Ronaldo felt that his national team career had been complete. Moreover, at the age of 33, he is no longer young. Temporarily withdrawing from the national team's not-so-important games will be beneficial to his exercise cycle and will also allow him to recover his body better.

After the World Cup, Ronaldo left Real Madrid and joined Serie A giants Juventus. He wanted to integrate into his new club wholeheartedly and avoid the hassle of international match days. Ronaldo will be in better condition to play for Juventus.

On the other hand, Ronaldo is already a father of four children and he needs time to accompany his family. Warm-up matches and European Nations League are not important events, so Ronaldo chose to take a temporary break and leave his position to young people.

Under such circumstances, Bruno continued to lead the Portuguese national team in the UEFA Nations League as captain.

………………

During this international match day, Portugal's opponent in the UEFA Nations League is Poland led by Bayern Munich superstar Lewandowski.

Moreover, this UEFA Nations League match between Portugal and Poland was Lewandowski's 100th national team game for Poland, while Bruno played for the Portugal national team for the 48th time.

However, in the current national team scorer list, Bruno is ahead of the Polish shooter. Bruno has scored 56 national team goals, while Lewandowski has helped the Polish national team score 55 goals.

Poland drew with Italy in the first match of this group, while Portugal beat Italy by a small margin and is currently ranked first. This match may change the ranking situation.

Piatek, who was called up by Poland's national team this term, was in hot form in Serie A, scoring 7 goals in the first 9 rounds. Andre Silva, who replaced Ronaldo, seemed to have found his shooting boots after transferring to Sevilla, and also helped the team score 7 goals. This battle will be a direct dialogue between the two young players.

In this match, Lewandowski led the starting line-up for Poland, while Zielinski and Piatek started. For Portugal, Bruno continued to start as captain, and Cancelo and others also started.

………………

After the start of the game, Portugal, the new World Cup champion and number one in FIFA ranking, took the initiative and performed very actively, launching a wave of attacks on the field, but it was the home team Poland that scored the first goal.

In the 18th minute, Kurzawa sent a corner kick from the right side into the penalty area, and Piatek headed the ball into the goal, beating Cancelo, and Poland led Portugal 1:0.

But Portugal soon equalized the score. In the 31st minute, Bruno passed the ball in the middle, Cancelo made a straight pass from the right, Pizzi knocked the ball in front of the goal from the right in the penalty area, and Andre Silva followed up and pushed the ball into the goal, changing the score to 1:1.

In the 41st minute, Neves made a long pass from the backcourt to the penalty area. Bruno stopped the ball, dribbled past the goalkeeper and shot into the empty goal. While scoring his 57th goal for the Portuguese national team, he also helped Portugal to overtake the score.

After the second half, Portugal continued to attack actively and extended their lead to 51 goals in the 2st minute. Bruno's pass in the midfield accurately penetrated the Polish defense line. Bernardo Silva received the pass on the right side of the penalty area, cut inside the penalty area and shot with his left foot. The ball flew into the net and Portugal led the opponent 3:1.

However, Poland, playing at home, was also very tenacious and scored again in the 76th minute. Kuba volleyed the ball in front of the penalty area and scored. Poland led Portugal 2:3.

This goal gave Poland hope of scoring at home, and they continued to strengthen their offensive. However, Portugal did not allow Poland to score the third goal. Instead, under the leadership of Bruno, they frequently launched high-quality counterattacks. However, the Portuguese forward line, led by Andre Silva, was not very good at seizing opportunities and missed four excellent scoring opportunities in a row.

When the game reached the 91st minute, Portugal finally scored the fourth goal of the game. Sanches passed the ball directly into the penalty area, Andre Silva got the ball with his back to the goalkeeper and turned to cross the ball, and Fernandes easily scored in front of the empty goal, locking the score at 4:4.

With two consecutive wins, Portugal is leading the standings.

Three days later, Portugal challenged Scotland in a warm-up match away from home. Bruno missed this game. However, Portugal still defeated Scotland 3:1 away from home and won three consecutive victories.

………………

After leading the team to defeat Poland, Bruno flew to London with the team, but after arriving in London, he did not go north to Edinburgh with the team, but returned to Manchester.

Just after this international match day, Manchester United will usher in an important game. They will visit Stamford Bridge in the 9th round of the Premier League to challenge the Blues Chelsea.

This game is not only a showdown between two giants, Chelsea and Manchester United, but also Mourinho's rematch against his old club. It is also a key battle for Manchester United to challenge Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak.

In such an important match, Chelsea will not let Manchester United achieve their goal easily. On the one hand, Chelsea does not want to be blamed when people mention Manchester United's unbeaten record in the future, and on the other hand, they want to avenge the defeat 13 years ago.

After all, Chelsea's 40-game unbeaten streak was ended by Manchester United, and now they are eager to end Manchester United's unbeaten record, even if this will allow Arsenal to maintain their 49-game unbeaten record.

Manchester United is determined to equal Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak. Three consecutive comeback wins before the international match day have given Manchester United strong confidence.

Not only are Manchester United people confident about this, but even the far east is full of confidence in Manchester United. Liu Yimei sent Bruno a video of the latest episode of "World Football" that she obtained through personal channels, asking him to watch it.

In the unedited full version of the video, there is a sentence at the end of the program that the audience cannot see: What Manchester United needs to do now is to first defeat the Blues, then destroy the Toffees, wipe out the Gunners, aim at the red and black, and dominate the world.

Manchester United's next two Premier League opponents are Chelsea and Everton, two blue teams. If Manchester United can get through these two hurdles, it will break Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten Premier League record and continue to impact AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record in the top five leagues.

Bruno couldn't help laughing. He remembered these words. The original words seemed to be: First destroy Shaolin, then destroy Wudang. Only my Ming Cult can be the king of the martial arts world.

………………

The media in England are all hyping up Manchester United's 48-game unbeaten streak, helping Manchester United calculate how long they can continue to remain unbeaten and whether they can continue to break records.

"Manchester United's opponents in the next two league rounds are Chelsea and Everton. Both teams are traditional Premier League powerhouses, especially Chelsea, which is the only team with a better record against Manchester United in the Premier League era and can be regarded as Manchester United's bitter enemy."

"Especially at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United has only achieved 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the past 5 league games, which is an absolute disadvantage."

"It seems that it will not be easy for Manchester United to tie Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten record. The ninth round of the league, the match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, will be the biggest test for Manchester United."

"Of course, after Bruno and Mourinho joined Manchester United, the Red Devils have a good record against Chelsea, which means they have a good chance of winning away from home. In this way, they can tie Arsenal's 14-match unbeaten record in Premier League history 49 years ago."

Just last season, the team they supported lost four times against Manchester United, once in the Community Shield, once in the FA Cup final, and the remaining two times were in the league.

Losing to Manchester United in one season, Chelsea was the second team that lost to Manchester United the most times last season, only less than Manchester City, which lost to Manchester United 5 times.

But Manchester City at least managed to draw once and did not lose all the games to Manchester United.

Moreover, those four losses directly caused Chelsea to lose two championship trophies!
