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

Chapter 793 New Record

"Manchester United passed the ball to Bruno on the right."

"Bruno got the ball in the right corner of the penalty area, one-on-one!"

"Beautiful, Bruno went down to the baseline and passed into the penalty area!"

"Leicester City's central defender Morgan controlled the ball in front and cleared it with a long kick."

"Another big kick in the midfield..."

……

After two consecutive long kicks, Leicester City quickly cleared the ball near the center line.

Maguire, the last center back of Manchester United's defense, took control of the ball and immediately passed it back to Leicester City's half to Cancelo on the right.

When Cancelo just received the ball, he looked up at the penalty area in front of him and found that the situation in the penalty area had changed.

After clearing the ball, Morgan did not immediately keep a close eye on Harry Kane, which made the England center face another central defender of Leicester City, the 22-year-old James Justin.

James Justin is only 1.83 meters tall and is known for his footwork and passing, but he does not have an advantage in defending high balls.

Cancelo realized this, and when he saw that Harry Kane had been staying in the penalty area, he immediately adjusted the path of the ball and quickly made a 45-degree pass into the penalty area, sending the ball over Harry Kane's head.

The England center forward understood what he meant and went straight to James Justin, leaping high, overpowering the Leicester City center back and heading the ball directly into the lower right corner, trying to catch the opponent's goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel off guard.

But Cancelo's pass was a bit far, not to mention Schmeichel, even Morgan had reacted.

Schmeichel flew over and blocked the ball with one punch.

………………

Harry Kane headed the ball from the left side in front of the goal. After Schmeichel saved it, the ball bent and bounced to the right side of the penalty area.

As early as when Cancelo passed the ball, Bruno was ready to rush into the penalty area to receive the ball. After seeing Schmeichel Jr. save Harry Kane's header, he quickly chased after him. Without waiting for Morgan to react, he swung his right foot and shot!

To be on the safe side, he still hit with the inside of his foot!

The football flew in an almost straight line, passed the fallen Schmeichel, and hit the goal behind him!

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!"

"Towards the end of the first half, Bruno calmly seized an opportunity and finally broke through Leicester City's goal. This was his fifth shot in the game and he finally scored a goal!"

After scoring the goal, Bruno was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, jumped over the billboards on the sidelines, and rushed directly to the fans in the stands, opened his arms and cheered loudly.

1: 0!

He finally scored! ! !

………………

"fantastic!"

"This goal came very suddenly! But we must say that Manchester United's efforts in the first half finally paid off!"

"Bruno finally scored with his fifth shot of the game!"

"This is also his 2017st league goal this season, tying his Premier League single-season personal goal record set in the 2018- season!"

Bruno was quickly hugged by his teammates who caught up with him.

"There's still a second half! There's a second half!" Bruno gasped and shouted loudly.

The first goal is always difficult, but once you score the first one, the rest will be much easier.

Especially as Leicester City players' physical strength is depleted, it is difficult for them to maintain the tight defense after the opening. They will become easily distracted as their physical strength fades, and their defense will continue to make mistakes.

Bruno believes that there will definitely be a chance in the second half!

………………

Leicester City has performed well this season. Apart from the poor performance of their defense, their offense is more crucial.

In the first 37 league rounds, Leicester City scored 67 goals, ranking fourth among the 20 Premier League teams, second only to Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool!

Leicester City can score so many goals thanks to their main striker Jamie Vardy. This late-blooming striker has performed very well this season, scoring 23 league goals and ranking second in the Premier League scorer list, second only to Bruno.

In fact, since the team was promoted to the Premier League, Vardy's performance has been very good. In his first Premier League season, he scored 34 goals and 5 assists in 8 Premier League games to help Leicester City successfully avoid relegation.

In the following 2015-2016 season, Vardy was the number one contributor to Leicester City's miraculous Premier League title. He scored 36 goals and assisted 24 times in 6 Premier League games, ranking second in the scorer list, second only to Harry Kane.

In the next three seasons, due to the decline in Leicester City's overall performance, Vardy's performance was no longer as amazing as in the 2015-2016 season, but he still maintained a relatively stable goal efficiency, scoring 13 goals, 20 goals and 18 goals respectively, making him one of the most threatening forwards in the Premier League.

Facing the attacking line of Leicester City with Vardy, no one dared to guarantee that their back line would not lose the ball, which meant that the one-goal lead was not safe. So after the start of the second half, Manchester United continued to actively press Leicester City step by step, hoping to expand the lead and lock in the victory as soon as possible.

………………

Bruno had the same idea. He was very active after the start of the second half. He was running at all costs and constantly looking for opportunities.

In order to get rid of the defense of Leicester City players, Bruno no longer limits himself to the middle, he often switches to the two sides.

But Leicester City was obviously well prepared for this, and they were ready for battle as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Even though they were already one goal behind, they still did not give Manchester United, especially Bruno, any chance at all.

At this time, Chelsea was already leading Wolves by 2 goals at home, and it was almost impossible for Leicester City to qualify for the Champions League again after four years.

At this moment, Leicester City is no longer fighting for victory or defeat, or for three points, but for honor and professionalism.

They can be scored against and defeated, but the prerequisite is that Bruno and Manchester United must give their best.

Manchester United players also ran frequently, even center forward Harry Kane actively moved to the side and retreated to stretch the defense for Bruno and create opportunities.

Harry Kane has been performing well since joining Manchester United, and a very important reason for this is that Bruno has provided him with a lot of assists.

Bruno himself is very popular with the team, which makes them happy to serve Bruno at critical moments.

………………

The opportunity Bruno was looking for soon arrived.

In the 70th minute of the game, Leicester City's midfielder made a passing error and the ball was intercepted before it crossed the center line.

Kante quickly passed the ball straight to the frontcourt, Harry Kane retreated, blocked the defender with his body, and after receiving the ball, passed it to Rashford on the left.

At this time, Bruno, who had moved to the left line, was already like a vigorous cheetah, ready to go!

"Manchester United intercepted the ball and counterattacked."

"Harry Kane passed it to Rashford."

"Rashford passes the ball behind him..."

"Bruno starts quickly..."

"The Leicester City centre-back was also very quick in returning to defence and got in the way of Bruno."

……

Bruno was face to face with the opponent's right center back, former Manchester United player Evans, in the left corner of the penalty area.

As soon as the two came into contact, Bruno did not wait for the opponent to gain a foothold, and pretended to pass down the bottom, but in fact he suddenly spiked the ball and cut inside.

As soon as he dribbled past Evans, Bruno felt extremely strong and swung his right foot without thinking!

The football spun violently, drew a beautiful arc, and almost brushed the fingertips of the opponent's goalkeeper Schmeichel before hitting the upper right corner of the goal!

Dead spot! This is an absolute dead end!

After scoring the goal, Bruno once again quickly rushed out of the stadium and directly in front of the live TV camera. He was so excited that he lost himself in the moment and kept pointing his chest at the camera, as if to say, I did it!

I really did it!

With 42 goals, he broke his own Premier League single-season goal record!

………………

His teammates rushed to him and hugged him. Everyone shouted in his ear, blessing his goal and congratulating him on breaking this legendary record.

"This is an absolute blind spot!"

"Bruno scored his 42nd league goal of the season, which was brilliant. Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was powerless to stop it."

"Let us congratulate Bruno for breaking his own Premier League single-season goal record set two years ago!"

"All Manchester United fans, all the fans watching on TV, let us congratulate Bruno with the warmest applause and cheers. Congratulations on becoming the first player to win the Premier League top scorer for four consecutive years, surpassing Alan Shearer and Henry, two legendary Premier League scorers!"

"Even in the history of the entire English top league, Bruno, who has won the top scorer four times, can be ranked in the top four. He is second only to Greaves, the former Chelsea and Tottenham legendary scorer who has won the top scorer six times, and is tied with Campbell, the former Sunderland legendary scorer, Steve Bloomer, the Derby County legendary scorer, and Thierry Henry, the former Arsenal legendary scorer!"

"Not only that, Bruno also became the second player in the history of the English Premier League to score 40 goals in a single season twice. The other player to accomplish this feat was former Everton legendary striker Dixie Dean. The Everton star, who ranks third in the English Premier League's historical scorer list, scored 1927 goals in the 1928-60 season, which is a single-season goal record in the English Premier League and even in the European League. Subsequently, Dean scored 1931 goals in the 1932-44 season. However, in Dean's era, there were as many as 42 games in a season, and the intensity of the league at that time was not as strong as the modern one 90 years later."

"In the four years since joining Manchester United, Bruno has scored at least 38 league goals every season. The other Premier League players have scored a maximum of 32 goals in a single season. Bruno's performance is almost unbelievable!"

"But it's only the 70th minute and there are still more than minutes left in the game. Maybe we should encourage Bruno with warm applause and cheers again and let him keep going."
