From the man behind the football king to the football king.
Chapter 676 7 Crowns
Rashford has good skills and is very flexible with the ball. When dribbling high, he can still clearly see the situation in the penalty area. After rushing into the penalty area with the ball, he quickly passed the ball horizontally and passed it behind Harry Kane.
Fayez was originally blocking between the Manchester United striker and the goal, with the aim of preventing the striker from facing the goal directly, but Rashford's pass made him passive. Harry Kane understood and blocked Fayez with his body, and did not catch the ball.
Just like that, the ball slipped past Harry Kane and rolled towards the penalty spot.
"A quick counter attack from Manchester United."
"Rashford dribbled the ball on the left and forced his way into the penalty area before passing it to the middle."
"Harry Kane missed..."
"Penalty kick, Bruno..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"
"In the 28th minute, Manchester United scored another goal!"
"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!! The World Footballer of the Year scored the second goal of the game!"
"This is also his 8th goal in the Club World Cup, surpassing his national team captain Cristiano Ronaldo to become the top scorer in the history of the Club World Cup!"
"It was a very clean left-foot shot. Khalid had no ability to stop it!"
"Manchester United leads 2:0!"
………………
After scoring the goal, Bruno rushed out of the stadium, slid to his knees under the stands where Manchester United fans were, raised his head and opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug every fan in the stands.
Behind him, his teammates rushed out one after another and surrounded him.
"This was Bruno's first shot of the game, and he scored a goal unexpectedly. His ability to seize opportunities is indeed very stable, but Al Ain must also reflect on its defense. In the past two seasons, Manchester United's offensive ability was the strongest at the time, and Bruno was the team's most threatening killer, but they still gave Bruno a chance."
"This is the gap in strength. Manchester United has been in a very good state recently."
After scoring the second goal, Manchester United was in complete control of the situation on the field. Kaio was restricted by Manchester United, and Al Ain could hardly launch a threatening attack. In addition, after losing two goals in a row, it was completely beyond the expectations of the Al Ain players, which made them very anxious.
This is the final, only ninety minutes, time waits for no one.
………………
While Al Ain was anxious, Manchester United had more experience, and with the advantage in score and field, they stood firmly in the midfield, actively adopted pressing tactics, and waited for the UAE team to make mistakes.
During this period, Al Ain was not completely without opportunities.
In the 39th minute, they launched a very threatening attack. El Shahat got the ball on the right and passed it to the middle, but Al Ain's Swedish striker Berg failed to hit the right spot due to the interference of Van Dijk and directly hit the ball out of the baseline.
Just three minutes later, Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball and launched another quick counterattack. Rashford dribbled inside and passed the ball back to the left.
Luke Shaw made a run-in, dribbled the ball down the line, and crossed it to the front of the small penalty area. Khalid decisively left the goal and rushed out to save the ball before Harry Kane.
But the ball did not fly far. After Bruno received the ball, when facing the Al Ain defender in the penalty area, he pushed the ball behind himself with his left foot, turned around, and shot directly into the empty goal with his right foot.
The ball went in!
………………
Bruno was not excited at all this time. To him, the ball was as if he had picked it up. He spread his hands indifferently and accepted the congratulations from his teammates.
The players of Al Ain sat down in the penalty area with a look of frustration on their faces.
0: 3!
They are really desperate!
Al Ain received a wild card to participate in this Club World Cup as the host, and then unexpectedly made it to the final. Al Ain is also planning to repeat the magic of eliminating River Plate in the semi-finals and defeat Manchester United again in the final to create a miracle that belongs only to Al Ain.
Before the game, each of them was still full of confidence. Unexpectedly, when it came to the game, they suddenly discovered that everything was different from what they had imagined.
Although River Plate is also a giant in world football, its strength is still far behind the top giants in Europe.
Especially Manchester United, which is a super giant that remained undefeated in all competitions and won all championships in the 2017-2018 season!
The game can be decided in one half!
………………
The three-goal lead made Manchester United more calm and confident.
During the half-time break, Mourinho praised the team's performance in the first half and encouraged the players to keep up the good work.
"I believe that as long as we play the game steadily, victory will belong to us!"
After the second half, Al Ain did not adjust the team's lineup. They launched an attack after the opening, but it was ineffective.
In the 50th minute, there was a very obvious detail that reflected the problem of Al Ain players. Under the pressure of Manchester United's midfield, the central defender passed the ball back to the goalkeeper with his feet when he couldn't find a point to pass the ball. However, Manchester United pressed on step by step, and Khalid hastily picked up the ball with his hands.
Manchester United players immediately protested to the referee Maroufo, but the American referee did not punish them severely. Instead, he gave Manchester United a free kick opportunity near the right bottom line of the penalty area.
This time, Bruno took the free kick again. He passed the ball directly into the penalty area, and Gundogan quickly inserted and shot directly, but it hit the post and failed to score.
Although they failed to score a goal, whether it was the bad mistakes made by Al Ain's players themselves or Manchester United's subsequent shot hitting the post, it clearly reflected the changes in the mental outlook of the two teams.
Subsequently, Mourinho made substitutions, Bruno, Gundogan and Mbappe were replaced one after another, and Mata, Herrera and Mahrez got the chance to play.
………………
When Bruno was replaced by Mata, the whole stadium burst into warm applause.
With two goals and one assist, Bruno continued his excellent form in 2018 and directed the victory in this final.
Afterwards, Al Ain failed to make any further progress and Manchester United eventually won the game 3:0.
When the referee Marouf blew the whistle to end the game, fans in the stands of Abu Dhabi's Zayed Stadium scattered confetti all over the sky. They floated in the air, like colorful snowflakes, spinning and dancing.
Under the sky full of confetti, Manchester United players were celebrating.
Head coach Mourinho was thrown high into the air by them to celebrate Manchester United winning the Club World Cup again after ten years.
This is the second time in Manchester United's history that they have won the championship. If its predecessor, the Toyota Cup, is included, Manchester United has won it three times.
This is also Manchester United's seventh championship trophy in 2018. They became the first team in the history of world football to win seven championships in a year!
And when the live broadcast loudly announced that Bruno would be selected as the best player of the Club World Cup final, the Manchester United fans in the stadium once again burst into thunderous cheers.
All the players, coaches and staff gathered around Bruno, surrounding him and celebrating his honor.
In today's game, Bruno's performance was impeccable. He scored two goals and made one assist, and he was in control of the game.
………………
"This is a great victory!"
In the comprehensive interview area after the game, Bruno faced media reporters from all over the world directly.
"I want to say that this game is not the credit of any one person, but everyone in our team, including our teammates, regardless of whether he was present at the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight, as well as our coaches and staff, each of them is a hero to the team's victory."
As for this game, Bruno believes that the team's start is crucial.
"We got off to a fantastic start. Before the game, the coach told us that the first half was very important. We had to control the game and convert the advantage into victory, and we did that."
"Al Ain is a very strong team, but they didn't perform well enough in the first half. We took advantage of several opportunities and finally converted them into goals, which was very crucial. We should be proud of our performance in the first half."
Bruno expressed his gratitude to his teammates for his two goals and one assist in this game.
"Maguire often says that he should be a center forward. He has a great nose for points and shots in the penalty area. Both of my goals came from the left. I should thank Luke Shaw and Rashford. They sent me very comfortable passes. All I have to do is send them into the goal. They should be the heroes."
"Gundogan also made a lot of good passes today, as did Cancelo, they were both very good."
Bruno paused for a moment before continuing, "I think we are a team, not just one person. This team victory is not the result of any one person."
………………
As the number one player in the world of football, Bruno is the most watched player at any time and in any place, and his future is also a matter of concern to all media reporters.
Even though he had just renewed his contract with Manchester United before the end of last season, and even though he had stated countless times in front of the media that he would not leave Manchester United, his transfer was still the focus of everyone's attention.
Especially this year, Bruno has led Manchester United to win all the championships they can get.
In the eyes of many people, Manchester United has reached its peak. If Bruno does not seek new challenges, Manchester United will inevitably go downhill in the future.
Just like Real Madrid, after winning the double championship in the 2016-2017 season and defending the Champions League title, it fell into a trough in the 2017-2018 season. It failed to win any of the four major titles that season, legendary star Cristiano Ronaldo left, and the second phase of the Galacticos that created countless records collapsed.
Therefore, many people believe that Bruno will leave at this time, at the peak of his career, just like his Portuguese predecessor Cristiano Ronaldo did ten years ago. After leading Manchester United to win everything and becoming the undisputed number one in football, he chose to leave Manchester United to seek new challenges.
That year, Ronaldo was 24 years old.
And now, Bruno is also 24 years old!
………………
When a reporter asked whether Bruno would consider leaving Manchester United after winning all the championships, Bruno said that he had not considered leaving Manchester United for the time being.
"I love Manchester United and I am very grateful to Manchester United. I am very happy here. I have the best teammates and the most enthusiastic fans. I can play games happily and win all the championships. I can't find a reason to leave."
"Professional football is full of unknowns. One day in the future, I may leave Manchester United, but that will definitely be in the distant future, perhaps when my career enters the twilight years, or when Manchester United no longer needs me!"
As for the coming season, Bruno said he is full of expectations.
"Personally, I feel that my condition is still very good. My teammates and I will not celebrate tonight because we have agreed that after we walk out of the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, we will forget about the Club World Cup as soon as possible because we have to calm down and face the upcoming Christmas devil schedule."
"I hope to save the most lively and crazy celebrations for the end of the season. We are determined to win the Premier League three times in a row and defend the Champions League title!"
………………
After the interview, the award ceremony will be held soon.
The live TV camera was focused on the podium. Players from the UAE team Al Ain, which had suffered a crushing defeat to Manchester United, walked up to the podium one after another under the leadership of head coach Mamic.
Despite losing the game, Al Ain players were not too disappointed. After all, being able to reach the Club World Cup final was already a huge victory for them.
Immediately afterwards, Bruno led Manchester United to the podium to receive their championship medals and trophies.
At this moment, they are the focus of the whole world!
In 2017, Manchester United won six titles including the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and Community Shield.
In 2018, they went one step further, not only winning the Champions League again after a decade, but also defending the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Super Cup and Community Shield. Together with the Club World Cup won today, they became the first team in football history to win seven titles in a year.
This will be another glorious period in Manchester United's history!
Mourinho, Bruno, Harry Kane, Gundogan, Kante, Rashford, Mbappe and others will all go down in history because of this.
What an honor is this?
And Bruno is destined to become a legend in the history of Manchester United, even though he is only 24 years old and even though he has only played for Manchester United for less than three seasons!
