From the man behind the football king to the football king
Chapter 770: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow
Whether it is Bruno or Gundogan, the goal is very clear, that is, the second landing point that Harry Kane grabbed.
Mbappe got the ball on the right, and he tried to break through Azpilicueta, but the Spanish defender did not give him a chance. Azpilicueta, who stabilized, also has excellent one-on-one defensive ability.
Mbappe was not sure, so he could only protect the ball and pass it back.
Cancelo quickly moved forward and entered the 30-meter area. After receiving the ball, he glanced at the penalty area. He saw Harry Kane raised his hand in the penalty area to ask for the ball, and the English center forward was already stuck in position.
Cancelo chose a 45-degree cross without hesitation and sent the ball directly into the penalty area.
The biggest difference between the bottom cross and the 45-degree cross is that the ball sent out by the former is generally headed towards the goal by the offensive player, which is more threatening, and this is what all defensive players dare not be careless about. But the 45-degree cross is generally taken with the back facing the goal, and it is difficult to create a threat directly, and a transition is required.
Rudiger stood behind Harry Kane, not giving him any chance to turn around.
Christensen was looking for the second landing point.
Rashford also rushed from the left rib to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and Matic and Reece James followed him all the way.
Harry Kane had no other choice, Chelsea almost blocked all the ball points around him.
So, the English center forward could only choose to head the ball out of the penalty area and knock it back to Bruno who came in from behind.
………………
At this time, Kovacic took the lead in controlling the second landing point and intercepted the ball before everyone else.
When Bruno saw Kovacic grab the second landing point, he rushed towards him at the first time.
Gundogan was obviously in sync, he was closer to Kovacic and rushed forward directly.
Kovacic grabbed the landing point and tried to stop the ball and pass it out. But at this time, Gundogan took the lead and came behind him, and when Kovacic stopped the ball, he kicked decisively.
As soon as the ball reached Kovacic's feet, it was kicked away by Gundogan and rolled into the penalty area.
Bruno originally rushed towards Kovacic, and he planned to entangle him after the opponent stopped the ball, but he didn't expect Gundogan to be one step faster, and Bruno immediately changed his strategy.
Gundogan poked the ball into the penalty area. Bruno reacted quickly, took the lead, stretched out his left foot, and intercepted the ball poked out by Gundogan.
At this time, there were people everywhere near Chelsea's penalty area, Kovacic, Matic, Reece James, Christensen, Harry Kane, Rudiger, Gundogan...
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When Chelsea's defensive players reacted, Bruno had already intercepted the ball first, and at this time, he was facing the right.
Behind him was Matic, Kovacic and Gundogan on the right, Christensen, Harry Kane and Rudiger on the left, and there was no one in front!
Whether it is Azpilicueta or Jorginho, there is a little distance!
………………
There is a chance!
Bruno made the most appropriate decision almost immediately.
As soon as the ball was intercepted, Bruno suddenly started and dribbled the ball horizontally to the right.
Harry Kane reacted quickly and immediately blocked Rudiger, who was the first to bear the brunt, with his body, so that the Chelsea central defender could not rush to Bruno in the first time, disrupting Chelsea's defensive formation.
When Bruno rushed out of the arc with the ball, he saw a route to the goal. He almost didn't hesitate and swung his right foot directly!
"Kovacic got the second spot, but Gundogan poked the ball away."
"Bruno got the ball, took a step to the right, and shot directly!!!!!"
"The ball went in!!!!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!!!"
Bruno's right-foot shot deliberately hit a rebound ball. Although Caballero flew to make a save, he didn't expect the ball to rebound in front of the goal. In the end, Chelsea's goalkeeper was still powerless and could only watch the ball go into the net, 2:0!
In the 86th minute, Manchester United expanded their lead!
After Bruno made this shot, he slid to the ground, but quickly got up and ran out of the stadium and rushed to the corner stand where Manchester United fans were. Along the way, he kept cheering and shouting, venting his excitement.
As the game approached the 90th minute, he helped the team expand their lead to two goals. This was almost a goal to lock in the victory. How could he not be excited? How could he not be excited?
Bruno rushed to the corner area, slid to his knees under the stands where Manchester United fans were, and clenched his fists towards the fans in the stands.
Manchester United players also rushed up from behind frantically, hugging Bruno excitedly one by one.
………………
In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Mourinho was so excited that he jumped up, yelled several times in succession, turned around and hugged Faria and others, celebrating the goal, and the coaches and players in the coaching and substitutes' benches also rushed out of their seats to celebrate.
This goal is too precious!
Before this goal came, Manchester United played very passively on the field. If Chelsea continued to besiege, Manchester United's goal would be difficult to keep from conceding.
It's different now. Even if Chelsea scores a goal, Manchester United still maintains the lead, and there is not enough time for Chelsea.
Although they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the two or three thousand Manchester United fans at the scene made a crazy sound, and everyone was cheering Bruno's name.
At this moment, in more than 100 countries around the world, there are countless fans sitting in front of the TV, cheering for Bruno's goal, and watching Bruno and his teammates celebrating the goal on the sidelines.
Lampard was helpless. He had done the best he could. Whether it was defending Manchester United's attack or targeted defense against Bruno, he had done his best. But unexpectedly, Bruno still scored!
Lampard cursed angrily and walked back to the home team coaching bench. Assistant coach Jody Morris patted his shoulder soothingly, signaling him not to lose his composure.
………………
Manchester United finally took a victory from Stamford Bridge with a score of 2:0. Even if Chelsea tried to launch a strong attack on Manchester United in the final stage, it was useless.
The Red Devils escaped from Stamford Bridge unscathed. In the four games this season, Manchester United remained undefeated, which made Lampard very dissatisfied after the game and pointed the finger at the referee again.
The Chelsea coach believed that the referee missed a penalty for Chelsea, which could have helped Chelsea equalize the score and even made Manchester United completely desperate, but it was ruined by the referee.
Mourinho refuted on the spot, saying that Lampard's reason was very ridiculous, because Kante's foul was obviously outside the penalty area at the time, and it was reasonable to give a free kick.
"I don't understand why he asked for a penalty that didn't exist at all?"
The master and apprentice fought on the court, and they still fought off the court.
Lampard said that he thought it was unreasonable for Chelsea to lose this game, and Chelsea should at least get a draw at home.
But Mourinho also believes that Manchester United is better than Chelsea in terms of ball possession and number of shots, and getting 3 points in the end is the most correct result.
But in fact, the number of shots of both sides is 9 to 12, which is pitifully small.
From the number of shots, it can be seen that the two teams have really achieved the ultimate in targeted tactics. They restrained each other and did not give each other any chance. Chelsea only had two direct shots on goal and Manchester United only had three.
………………
Lampard mentioned Batshuayi and believed that the Belgian striker played an important role. Mourinho mentioned Bruno and believed that the Manchester United captain was the key figure in the victory.
"From Bruno's eyes, I saw determination, fighting spirit, and his pursuit and desire for the peak championship."
The verbal battle between the two coaches after the game naturally became a major attraction of the Premier League.
Because Liverpool had to participate in the fourth round of the FA Cup play-offs, their league this round was forced to be postponed. This also allowed Manchester United to temporarily narrow the gap to 1 point after playing one round first. This undoubtedly makes Manchester United's hope of winning the league championship this season a little greater.
However, perhaps because they saw the hope of returning to the top of the standings after two months and 12 rounds of the league, Manchester United players were a little excited, which led to their unexpected 1:1 draw by Everton at Goodison Park in the game a week later.
This was a game played in advance in the 28th round of the Premier League, because Manchester United will participate in the League Cup final of this season.
After discussing with Everton, this game was moved forward to mid-February.
Manchester United encountered a nightmare start at Goodison Park.
In the 3rd minute of the game, De Gea's long kick was blocked by Calvert Lewin and rebounded into the empty goal, and Manchester United unexpectedly fell behind 0:1 away.
De Gea's low-level mistake was completely unexpected by everyone.
Due to Manchester United's outstanding performance in the past few seasons, De Gea, as Manchester United's main goalkeeper, is undoubtedly widely regarded as the number one goalkeeper in the world football today.
And De Gea's performance is indeed worthy of this position. He repeatedly made great saves and was an opponent that all forwards were unwilling to face.
"As a head coach or a teammate, you want to kill him," said the BBC commentator of this game, Manchester United legend Keane, "He was being smart with this ball."
"He dragged it on for too long. What was he waiting for? If you want to handle the ball, at least be quicker. He is an experienced goalkeeper. What was he waiting for? There was almost a bit of arrogance in it. If it were me, I would have lynched him by replacing him at halftime. I know goalkeepers will make mistakes, but there is no excuse for such mistakes."
