Chapter 805: Fastest Goal in the Champions League Final

When the two teams lined up and stood in the two halves of the field, Manchester United striker Harry Kane stood in the center circle ready to kick off. This was an opportunity that Manchester United captain Bruno won when they were guessing the sides just now.

Just now, Bruno called everyone over and formed a circle, hoping that the team could try to make a push at the start of the game.

This is a consistent characteristic of the English team, they need to show momentum at the start and bluff their opponents.

This trick may not seem new, but it is actually very effective.

With the whistle of referee Osato, Harry Kane kicked the ball to Bruno, and the Manchester United captain passed it back directly.

Bayern Munich quickly rushed forward and headed straight for Manchester United's territory.

Gundogan stopped the ball, quickly adjusted, passed it to Kante, and then passed it to the left.

Rashford was still standing on the left side near the center line at this time. After receiving the pass from Kante, Goretzka and Kimmich both pressed towards him at the same time, so he had to choose to pass the ball back to Luke Shaw.

Bayern Munich's front players immediately pressed towards Manchester United's left-back, and Luke Shaw immediately passed the ball back to the middle of the midfield to Gundogan.

The German midfielder headed the ball to Kante, but at this moment, Thomas Muller pressed forward. Kante made a mistake in his haste and the ball was poked by Thomas Muller. Fortunately, the ball did not leave Manchester United's control. Luke Shaw made a long-distance pass back to the penalty area and sent the ball back to De Gea's feet.

The Spanish goalkeeper stopped the ball with his foot in front of the small penalty area, then slowly moved forward and passed the ball to Cancelo on the right before Lewandowski.

Cancelo kicked the ball forward and passed it directly behind Kingsley Coman.

………………

Mbappe chased the ball at his fastest speed, getting ahead of Kingsley Coman. When the ball hit the ground, bounced, and fell quickly again, he saw the opportunity, kicked out his right foot, and volleyed the ball into the penalty area.

Manchester United's quick attack on the right was very urgent, and only David Alaba and Boateng returned to Bayern Munich's penalty area.

The former assisted in protecting Kingsley Coman outside the penalty area, while Boateng blocked Harry Kane in the penalty area.

The Manchester United striker was right between David Alaba and Boateng, closer to the right than Boateng, so when Mbappe passed the ball to him, his position was better than Boateng.

But the German central defender was also very experienced. He used his body to block Harry Kane, making it impossible for him to turn around even if he got the ball. David Alaba turned back to defend immediately and attacked from the front and back.

Harry Kane has good physical fitness. He judged the landing point of the ball. After blocking Boateng with his body, he did not let the ball stay under his feet, but directly stopped the ball outside the penalty area.

Because of the pressing just now, Thiago's position was a little forward. When Gundogan quickly inserted himself, there was not a single defensive player in front of the entire penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich. Thiago had not had time to return to defense. Only Kimmich and Goretzka were still in the right area of ​​the top of the arc, looking at Rashford.

Gundogan caught up with Harry Kane's pass, stopped, adjusted his pace, and made a diagonal pass with his right foot. The ball crossed the penalty area and landed behind the goal.

………………

When the team quickly counterattacks on the right, Bruno has two choices. Either he catches up with Mbappe as quickly as possible, and the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, launch a counterattack, and then Mbappe passes the ball to the back post.

But because he had just received a pass from his midfield teammate, his position was a little far back and he couldn't catch up with Mbappe at all.

So he chose another option, which was to move towards the middle but deliberately fall behind, even further back than Gundogan.

As for the left side, it was left to Rashford.

When Gundogan received the pass from Harry Kane, Bruno slowly came to the front of Bayern Munich's penalty area.

Kimmich and Goretzka immediately gave up on Rashford and moved towards Bruno.

One of them is in front and the other is on the right. The division of labor is very clear. One is to guard against Bruno's quick forward movement, and the other is to block Bruno's route to the middle to meet Gundogan.

Everyone knows that Bruno is very good with both left and right feet. If you give him a chance at the front of the penalty area, he can score a goal for you every minute.

When Bruno first arrived at the front of the penalty area, he did make a fake move as if he was going to run towards the middle.

This made both Goretzka and Kimmich react at the same time, because they had no idea whether Bruno's action was true or false.

But at this moment, Bruno suddenly changed direction, ran behind Kimmich at the fastest speed, and rushed directly into the penalty area.

It was almost at this time that Gundogan's diagonal pass was passed to the left corner of the small penalty area.

………………

Bruno suddenly started moving at a very fast speed and with great explosive power. He rushed to the front of the small penalty area before Kimmich, determined the landing point of Gundogan's pass, and jumped high.

Kimmich's reaction was certainly quick, but he was just a defensive player after all, so he just defended passively.

In a one-on-one situation, it is really difficult for Kimmich to defend against Bruno.

When he reacted, Bruno had already taken the position and jumped high. Unless he committed a foul, there was no way to stop Bruno.

But this is a restricted area!

“The ball went in!!!!”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL!!!!!!" "Twenty-one seconds!"

"Oh my God! It's only been twenty-one seconds!"

"Manchester United launched a lightning attack, Bruno calmly seized the opportunity and broke through Bayern Munich's goal in 21 seconds!"

"This allowed Bruno to break the record for the fastest goal in the Champions League final, which was 2005 seconds, set by AC Milan legendary defender Maldini in Istanbul, Turkey in . This is definitely a very clever tactical combination!"

After Bruno landed, he didn't care about the stunned Neuer and Kimmich, turned around and rushed out of the field, all the way to the corner flagpole, and slid to his knees on the edge of the field!
He himself did not expect, nor did he know, that the opportunity would come so quickly.

But he has never been a person who likes to spend money, so when the opportunity comes, he can decisively seize it.

In the Champions League final, he scored a goal just 21 seconds into the game!

………………

After the kick-off, Mourinho saw Kante had the ball knocked away by Thomas Muller. He turned around with some frustration and shook his head at Faria, as if to say that Bayern Munich would also press forward at the start of tonight's game.

It was obvious that they were determined to gain possession of the ball.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But before the madman reached the home team's coaching booth, he suddenly saw that the assistants and players in front of him were all excited.

When he turned around, he saw Bruno had already rushed out of the penalty area, rushed all the way to the corner area, and slid to his knees on the sidelines.

Scored a goal?
"Is this a goal?" Mourinho exclaimed.

Immediately afterwards, the Manchester United coach was so ecstatic that he jumped up.

"Wow, how many seconds have passed? A goal already?"

If Mourinho hadn't seen the numbers on the scoreboard change from zero to one, he would have suspected that he was dreaming.

too fast!
So exciting!
It was so fast that he didn't have enough time to react. He didn't even see how the goal was scored, but his team still scored!

"Twenty-one seconds, twenty-one seconds!" Faria was so excited that he lost himself in thought.

Manchester United's coaching bench and player bench also cheered wildly.

No one expected that the goal in this final would come so quickly and so suddenly.

Flick was completely dazed. He really felt like he had been hit hard on the head right after the start of the game.

The goal was scored before we were even ready?

Was there any mistake? !

What happened? How did a goal come suddenly?

It's not like he hadn't thought about losing the ball first before the game, but he never thought he would lose the ball so soon.

It's so fast that it's hard to keep up.

………………

"Yes, that's right, this is the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League final, a lightning goal from Manchester United captain Bruno!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"We have always been accustomed to thinking that there is no final game, and Flick and Mourinho are always known for their calmness, but what we didn't expect was that these two coaches' two finals actually had such lightning goals."

When Bruno and his teammates finished celebrating wildly on the sidelines, they walked back and happened to stop by the home team's coaching booth to hug Mourinho and Faria to celebrate the goal.

Mourinho called Bruno, Gundogan and Gundogan over, signaling them to take advantage of the victory and take down the opponent while Bayern Munich was unstable at the start, in order to expand their lead. But at the same time, he also reminded the players to pay attention to the protection of the back line.

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Flick also quickly made adjustments.

Fifteen years ago in Istanbul, Liverpool also conceded a goal in a flash, and the situation collapsed, with three goals lost before the end of the first half.

Flick knows that in the almost crazy atmosphere of the Champions League final, under such suffocating pressure, the players' mentality cannot be measured by their usual performance.

If Bayern Munich really collapsed in the first half, he didn't think his team would be able to replicate Liverpool's magic in the second half, because Mourinho's team had never been overturned by the opponent when leading by three goals, so he asked everyone to keep their composure.

Nowadays, for Bayern Munich, scoring goals is not a requirement at all, as long as they can maintain their position.

Isn’t it just 0:1?
As long as you can keep steady, there is still plenty of time and opportunities.

But if Manchester United's score was widened, it would be a real disaster.
