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

After winning the Club World Cup and achieving the feat of seven championships in 2018, Manchester United did not celebrate too much. They took a connecting flight that night and returned to the cold Manchester from the warm Middle Eastern desert.

On the morning of December 12, Mourinho gave Manchester United players half a day off because of the journey the night before, but from the afternoon, Manchester United resumed training to prepare for the upcoming Boxing Day battle.

This year's Boxing Day battle is a game of special significance for Manchester United. As long as they don't lose to Huddersfield in this game, they can tie AC Milan's record of 58 unbeaten games in the top five leagues!

All Manchester United players attach great importance to this game and vow to give a big victory as a gift on this special day and in this special game.

………………

December 2018, 12, Old Trafford, Manchester.

Manchester United will host Huddersfield in the 19th round of the Premier League.

In view of the great significance of this game, the Premier League broadcaster announced that the game will be broadcast live to nearly 160 countries and regions around the world.

Huddersfield, the dark horse at the beginning of last season, has not performed well this season. It has been difficult to win since the beginning of the season. Except for a brief escape from the relegation zone after a three-game unbeaten streak in November, it has been stuck in the relegation zone.

Especially since entering December, Huddersfield has suffered five consecutive league defeats, including a 12:1 loss to Brighton at home, a 2:1 loss to Bournemouth away, a 2:0 loss to Arsenal away, a 1:0 loss to Newcastle at home, and a 1:1 loss to Southampton at home.

Before Christmas, Huddersfield had only 18 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in 12 league games, with only 10 points. However, they relied on the advantage of goal difference to surpass another bottom-ranked team Fulham and ranked 19th in the standings.

Mourinho repeatedly reminded the players before the game that Huddersfield had to fight for relegation and this game would not be easy.

Although Huddersfield has suffered five consecutive defeats, judging from the score, they were all close defeats, at most losing by two goals, and there was no devastating defeat.

Mourinho asked the players not to think about the 58-game unbeaten streak and to focus.

But obviously, the effect was not great. From the beginning of the game, Manchester United players showed their eagerness to break the record.

Perhaps it was the thought that as long as they could beat their opponents, they would be able to tie AC Milan's record.

In such a significant game, the players wanted to win, they were very anxious and couldn't wait to swallow their opponents in one bite.

………………

Mourinho shook his head on the sidelines. The players were too impatient, especially on the offensive end. The skilled and smooth cooperation in the usual games was gone, and they just wanted to fight alone when they had the ball.

At the end of the first half, the score was 0:0.

During the half-time break, Mourinho was furious in the locker room. He scolded all the players, even Bruno was no exception.

In the first half of the game, although Bruno's personal performance was acceptable, as the team captain, he was unable to control the team, which was his biggest failure.

Bruno was well aware of this and honestly admitted his mistake.

After Mourinho's angry outburst in the locker room during the halftime break, Manchester United's players finally calmed down. After the start of the second half, Manchester United became organized again.

In the 66th minute of the game, Bruno made a surgical through pass from the middle, Harry Kane successfully made an offside move, dribbled into the penalty area and scored with a low shot.

After leading 1:0, the pressure on the entire Manchester United team was immediately relieved a lot. In addition, after the whole team was scolded by Mourinho during the half-time break, they were obviously much more sober and the game returned to normal.

As for Huddersfield, after conceding the goal, the whole team felt like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle, and all their morale was deflated at once.

Ten minutes later, Mata broke into the penalty area and then made a triangle pass. Herrera in the middle knocked the ball to Bruno, who easily pushed the ball into the goal and Manchester United took a two-goal lead.

………………

In the subsequent game, Huddersfield scored a goal through a free kick by Zanka.

However, soon after, Bruno scored a direct free kick, changing the score to 3:1 for Manchester United and expanding their lead to two goals again.

This is Bruno's 99th Premier League goal!

Since joining Manchester United, Bruno has maintained a very high goal efficiency. He scored 2017 goals in the 2018-38 season and broke the record again last season with 41 goals.

And now this goal is Bruno's 20th Premier League goal this season.

As long as he scores one more Premier League goal, he will unlock the milestone of 100 Premier League goals.

Although Manchester United players tried their best to create opportunities for Bruno, hoping that he could achieve the achievement of 100 goals in the Premier League on this memorable day, Bruno still failed to score his third goal of the day until the referee blew the third whistle to end the game.

However, at the end of the game, there was still a huge cheer from the stands of Old Trafford.

Manchester United's substitutes ran onto the pitch with their arms outstretched and cheering, celebrating their epic record of equalling a streak of fifty-eight games unbeaten.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and accepted congratulations.

His assistants, members of the coaching staff, and team staff all came up to hug him, shake his hands, and celebrate.

………………

"The game is over! The game is over! The game is over! Manchester United defeated Huddersfield 3:1 at home. They have won fifteen games this season and their unbeaten streak in the league has reached fifty-eight games!"

“曼联做到了，他们已经追平了AC米兰所创造的五大联赛最长的不败纪录！从2017年5月17日晚上曼联在圣玛丽球场0:0逼平圣徒南安普顿开始，到2018年12月26日的今天，在英超联赛2018-2019赛季的第19轮，曼联主场3:1轻取哈德斯菲尔德，1年7个月又10天，曼联完成了一波震惊全世界的不败！”

"This is an amazing achievement! They have written their names into the history of European football, and Manchester United is still moving forward. From now on, every step they take forward is creating a new history!"

The reporters who had been waiting on the sidelines couldn't wait to rush into the stadium and surrounded Mourinho.

Countless microphones and recorders were pointed at him, and camera lenses were also aimed at him. He was the brightest star in the night.

Now, every word Mourinho says will become part of history and be recorded with glory.

When AC Milan set a record of 58 games unbeaten, the media later lamented that this was a great miracle record that would never be repeated.

Twenty-five years later, in the Premier League, Mourinho led his Manchester United to announce to the world that a new invincible team was born.

Mourinho appeared very calm, but what he said was very Versailles.

"I don't pay too much attention to the records. For me, 58 unbeaten games or 49 unbeaten games are just simple numbers. What makes me happy is that everything is normal with the team and we are moving from victory to victory. Compared with the cold numbers, what I see is the sweat of the players in the training ground and the field, as well as the unremitting struggle of the whole team!"

"The record and glory belong to all Manchester United people. This is the best compliment for everyone's efforts!"

………………

Manchester United beat Huddersfield 3-1, tying AC Milan's -year-long unbeaten streak in the top five leagues. This was big news that attracted worldwide attention. The next day, almost all media outlets around the world reported the event on their main pages.

The Guardian praised Manchester United's 58-game unbeaten streak, saying "This is a day that will go down in the history of the Premier League. Manchester United has done it. They have made AC Milan no longer the best."

The Times: Chelsea had the chance to extend Manchester United's unbeaten record to 49 games, but unfortunately, Bruno's two goals and one assist changed everything. Finally, we would like to congratulate Manchester United: Congratulations, Manchester United, an incredible team.

"Manchester Evening News": Manchester United is making great strides forward. This invincible red team has crossed the long river of history and shook hands with the Rossoneri from 25 years ago!

Others, including Portuguese media, German media, French media, Spanish media, American media, Brazilian media, Argentine media, Chinese media, Korean media, Japanese media, Thai media... all reported the news as soon as possible.

………………

The Italian media, especially the Milan media, have the most complicated feelings about Manchester United's 58-game unbeaten record.

Turin Sports Daily praised Manchester United.

AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak is a glory for Milan, but it is obviously embarrassing for other Serie A giants, especially Juventus. The people of Turin are very happy to see that Milan is no longer the only one in the limelight.

The headline of "Roma Sports" is very official: Manchester United tied AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten record, which is a very remarkable achievement.

Gazzetta dello Sport said sourly that Manchester United's 58-match unbeaten record is simply incomparable to AC Milan's 58-match unbeaten record. Back then, the Rossoneri's opponents were the Seven Sisters of Serie A, the Serie A league known as the Little World Cup. Now Manchester United is facing "slippery Manchester City", "decadent Chelsea", "deteriorating Arsenal", "downtrodden Liverpool", "hopeless Tottenham"...

In a word, Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Manchester United's 58-game unbeaten record is not valuable enough.

Bruno also read the report in Gazzetta dello Sport, and the sour taste was overwhelming.

Bruno felt that there was no need for Milan to act like this. It was no big deal. In the next league game, Manchester United could defeat Bournemouth and extend their unbeaten record to 59 games. That wouldn't be a big deal.

It seems like we care so much about this record!
