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

Chapter 762 God

As an experienced goalkeeper, Leno knows very well that the outstanding shooters in Europe are indeed capable of sending the ball into the goal at any angle and in any way, and even an extremely narrow gap can create a goal.

This is a shooter's instinct that comes from long-term training.

But as a goalkeeper, Leno also has the instinct of a goalkeeper. When he saw Bruno kicking the ball, he immediately reacted to Bruno's shooting angle and immediately stretched his left foot forward.

But as soon as he stretched out his foot, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Bruno's shot was too fast and too urgent, and the angle was also very accurate.

What surprised him even more was that there was a bounce back after landing.

Damn guy!

Leno reflexively raised his left foot as hard as he could. He felt the feeling of his foot touching the ball, but at the same time he also noticed that the ball rubbed against his foot. Although it changed direction, it went straight into the goal.

He could only watch as the ball went into the goal he was guarding.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"A shot from Bruno at almost zero angle!"

"This is so unbelievable!"

"It only took Manchester United ten minutes to quickly equalize the score!"

"Arsenal's defense is tight and excellent, but no matter how tight and excellent the defense is, it is useless in front of Bruno!"

“It was a great goal!”

………………

After scoring the goal, Bruno was so excited that he turned around and ran, rushing all the way out of the stadium, flying over the billboard on the sidelines, and rushing directly to the visiting team's fans' stand, opened his arms, clenched his fists, and roared loudly.

"what!!!!!"

The Manchester United fans in the front row hugged Bruno's legs, and the 3,000 Manchester United fans who came to the away field cheered loudly, which for a moment suppressed the Arsenal fans who made up the absolute majority.

No one expected that less than ten minutes after Arsenal took the lead, he scored a goal with a zero-angle shot and helped Manchester United equalize the score!

His condition is really outstanding!

"From the slow-motion replay, it was definitely a wonderful goal, but it was also a very clever tactical combination."

"We can see that when Manchester United were attacking, Bruno was the link-up. Gundogan made two straight passes, one of which found Harry Kane, but the English center forward obviously had no chance and was forced to pass back to Cancelo."

"Cancelo's forward movement in this game was quite strong, he was almost using himself as a winger."

“Bruno, seeing there was no chance, pulled out of the box again, ran to meet Cancelo and passed it to Gundogan.”

"It can be said that Bruno's off-ball movement was crucial and stretched Arsenal's defense."

"Gundogan's through ball was delivered at the right time. Bruno accelerated and got rid of Kolasinac. When facing David Luiz, he accelerated again and rushed over."

"The subsequent shot was also quite exciting."

"It can be said that Manchester United's several attacks in this game were quite beautiful, which is definitely not accidental."

"We have absolutely reason to believe that this is an offensive routine that has been rehearsed before the game."

………………

Bruno excitedly roared at the Manchester United fans in the stands, and his teammates behind him rushed over and pulled him back.

Everyone was so excited, so excited.

Arsenal launched a fierce attack after taking the lead, and Manchester United was relatively passive on the field. However, it was in such an unfavorable situation that Bruno seized the opportunity to equalize the score, which was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Manchester United.

In the past four seasons, Bruno has been like the locomotive of Manchester United, with everyone holding on to him and moving forward.

Premier League champion, Europa League champion, European Champions Cup champion...all kinds of championship trophies, he has won so many of them.

This season, Liverpool has performed very strongly in the league, which has put a lot of pressure on Manchester United players.

Now, in the strong dialogue with Arsenal, Manchester United was able to quickly equalize the score under unfavorable circumstances, which seemed to give Manchester United players hope of reversing Liverpool and winning the league title for the fourth consecutive time.

How can this not excite the players? Not excited?

In their eyes, Bruno's status is no less than that of head coach Mourinho, because he can always bring unexpected surprises, even miracles, to the team.

He is like an omnipotent God!

………………

"Routine! This must be a routine they have practiced deliberately!"

Arteta was a little anxious and paced back and forth in front of the home team's coaching bench.

It's not that he didn't think he would lose the ball at home, but he really didn't think he would lose the ball so soon.

It's only been three minutes!

After all, Arteta has seen a lot of big scenes, so he quickly forced himself to calm down.

Manchester United attacked desperately when they were trailing in the score, and they must have focused on practicing attack and defense against Arsenal's left flank before the game, which allowed Manchester United to quickly equalize the score, and Bruno's form was indeed at its peak.

But these are no longer important. The most important thing is that Arsenal has now been equalized and the rhythm of the game has been disrupted. What should be done now to get Arsenal back on track to victory?

You know, although the Arsenal management expressed that they still trust Arteta, if he fails to win four consecutive games after taking over as Arsenal head coach, it will still greatly undermine their trust in him.

Are we going to press out and fight next? Or should we stabilize our position first and make plans slowly?

Arteta frowned and hesitated for a while, then looked at his assistant Frederick Ljungberg. But this Arsenal senior seemed a little confused at the moment, and obviously didn't know what to do.

At this time, who can give Arteta an idea?

As the team's head coach, he has to shoulder this responsibility.

In the last game against Chelsea, his team led for 83 minutes, but then lost two goals in just four minutes, losing the three points that were about to be obtained. Everyone felt that he was too conservative because Arsenal was not able to maintain a sustained offensive after taking the lead, which led to the team's subsequent loss and defeat.

………………

Last time we were leading, we were reversed by Chelsea. If we are reversed by Manchester United again today, then...

Arteta thought of this, gritted his teeth secretly, walked to the sidelines, and signaled the team to actively counterattack, to regain control of the ball and strive to score again.

After Bruno scored a goal, Arsenal began to want to control the situation of the game. But Manchester United obviously did not want to give up the advantage they had worked so hard to gain.

The three attacking players in the front court began to actively press Arsenal's defenders, and the midfield also pressed players including Torreira and Xhaka, making it difficult for Arsenal to effectively pass the ball to the front court.

It was not until the 26th minute that Arsenal got a chance. Aubameyang shot from the right side of the penalty area, about 15 meters away from the goal, but the shot was blocked by Lindelof.

Two minutes later, Arsenal launched another long pass. Maguire judged the landing point in advance and blocked Lacazette with his body, forcing the latter to commit a foul during the scramble. He was whistled and warned by the referee.

Both attacks failed to pose a threat, and Arsenal's attack was obviously not as sharp as at the beginning of the game.

………………

Bruno actively pressed the front court and observed his opponents. He found that the reason why Arsenal performed poorly was not only because Manchester United quickly equalized the score, which made Arsenal lose their edge and rhythm, but also because their physical fitness was really bad.

Arsenal's bench depth is not as good as Manchester United and Manchester City, even compared with Liverpool and Chelsea. In the extremely dense Christmas devil schedule, the players' physical condition is very poor.

The most obvious thing is that they all look very tired.

After losing the ball, Manchester United always launches a counterattack on the spot as soon as possible. The purpose is not only to get the ball back, but also to delay the opponent. This reflects the advantages of the players' physical fitness and running ability.

This is partly due to Manchester United's tactics and habits, and partly due to physical fitness. Although the team is currently in the intensive Christmas schedule, Manchester United's strong bench lineup allows the team to rotate well and maintain a good record.

After Arsenal snatched the ball and attacked the front of Manchester United's penalty area, Manchester United's defense was basically in place, and the next step was a battle of attack.

But on the other hand, Manchester United stole the ball several times and launched quick counterattacks, which quickly created threats, especially Kolasinac on the left. The Bosnian left-back was really caught between a rock and a hard place facing the successive attacks of Mbappe, Bruno and Cancelo on the left.

Even when the game reached the 31st minute, after Kolasinac got the ball and Bruno rushed towards him quickly, the Bosnian left-back immediately passed the ball to David Luiz in the middle.

But the problem was that Harry Kane was near David Luiz and immediately intercepted the ball from the Brazilian defender.

David Luiz lost the ball, the England center forward rushed into the penalty area and shot directly.

But the shot came too hastily, and Arsenal was taken aback. Harry Kane himself did not remain calm enough. He focused too much on the angle of the shot and lacked power, so Leno saved it as if with divine help.

The German goalkeeper made a very crucial save!

When the ball flew out, Rashford chased after it to take advantage of it, but Xhaka cleared the ball at the critical moment.

Although the crisis was resolved, Kolasinac's mistake still made everyone at Arsenal break out in a cold sweat.
