From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 774: Win a championship first to calm your nerves

As we enter the end of February, the epidemic has broken out all over the world. In European countries, including the United Kingdom, the epidemic is becoming more severe day by day. Football competitions in various countries have also begun to restrict fans from attending stadiums to watch games, and news that leagues in various countries will be suspended is also rampant.

Under such circumstances, Manchester United ushered in the first championship game in 2020.

On the afternoon of March 1, local time in the UK, the 2019-2020 English League Cup final kicked off at Wembley Stadium, with the Red Devils Manchester United facing Aston Villa.

The game has already started for three minutes. Although it is only three minutes of game time, Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith is already a little unable to sit still.

Looking at Manchester United's overwhelming offensive, he still didn't know that he had been fooled.

Because Mourinho released news before the game that Manchester United was too exhausted in the midweek match against Real Madrid, this game will be played with a rotating lineup and will adopt more conservative tactics.

After learning about it, Dean Smith made a decisive decision. His team must hold high the banner of offense in the game. Since Manchester United is so timid, they will be rude.

Therefore, in the starting lineup, Dean Smith uncharacteristically lined up a lineup of 343, and he was ready to crush Manchester United.

But after the game started, Manchester United took advantage of the opportunity to kick off first and directly attacked Aston Villa's goal and continued to put pressure on them.

How is this obscene and underdeveloped posture? Does this mean that you want to kill Aston Villa? !

………………

Of course, Mourinho is not untruthful. Manchester United does use a substitute rotation.

The main lineup that played against Real Madrid in midweek, except for the captain Bruno in the midfield and the back line, all other positions have been rotated. The front trident is McTominay partnering with Greenwood and Mahrez. Bruno is partnered with Gundogan and teenager Bellingham in the midfield. The goalkeeper is Argentina goalkeeper Romero.

In fact, Mourinho originally considered playing it safe at the start and then putting pressure on the opponent's goal, but after seeing Aston Villa's starting lineup, he understood Dean Smith's wishful thinking. .

Later, in the coin guessing session, Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandez lost to the opponent's captain Grealish. The opponent got the right to pick the side and Manchester United got the right to kick off. Mourinho immediately made a decision. He whistled and attracted Bruno looked over and held out three fingers: Give up plan No. 1 and adopt opening tactic No. 3!

For this game, Mourinho has made full preparations and plans!

………………

On the pitch, Manchester United was still putting pressure on Aston Villa's goal.

This time Manchester United's attack had just ended. Aston Villa's goalkeeper Nilan hugged the football, and then he tried to throw the ball to launch a quick counterattack, but Aston Villa's counterattack was intercepted just as it reached the midfield. Manchester United's The attack comes again.

Manchester United's high forward McTominay received the ball with his back near the midfield. He did not choose to stop the ball, but directly headed the ball back.

Then people saw Bruno running past quickly and catching up with the football.

"Stop him!" Dean Smith screamed from the sidelines.

Aston Villa defender Tagget quickly came up to intercept.

Bruno swayed his upper body from side to side, pushed and pulled his right foot, and then suddenly accelerated, using the change in speed to pass the interceptor.

In the stands where Manchester United fans were, the fans cheered loudly.

"Duck! Bruno!"

"Bruno! You can do it!"

Among Aston Villa's three central defenders, the right central defender Engels is guarding Greenwood, and the left central defender hurriedly came over to defend Bruno.

Then, as soon as he rushed over, he saw Bruno deftly knocking the football and making an inward change while dribbling the ball at high speed. All he could do was watch in despair as Bruno passed by him like the wind. Entered the restricted area!

The rest is simple. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Niland, Bruno easily passed the last interceptor and then pushed into the empty goal!

The ball went in!

In the League Cup final, Manchester United led their opponents Aston Villa 1:0 just five minutes into the game.

The Manchester United fans in the stands became excited. They howled, shouted and cheered desperately.

Among these people, a little guy clenched his fists, jumped up and down excitedly, and shouted, "Oh oh oh! Well done! Give them another shot and they will squirt!"

………………

"Well done! Guys!" Mourinho stood up from the coaching bench, came to the sidelines, applauded and shouted, and then he high-fived Bruno who ran over to celebrate.

Returning to his seat, Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief.

It's much easier to be one goal ahead, now the initiative is on their side.

Of course, judging from the formation of Villa head coach Dean Smith, he wants to focus on offense. The entire midfielder in the three-four-three formation does not have a real defensive player!

It's really fierce!

This is a very passionate coach.

Mourinho glanced at his counterpart in the Aston Villa coaching bench and nodded slightly to show respect.

He just likes this kind of man!

On the other side, Dean Smith waved his hands angrily, and then cursed: "This damn bastard! Shit!! Liar!!!"

He is in trouble now and cannot tell others. Could it be that he has told others that the information he obtained is wrong and that he has been tricked by the cunning Mourinho?

He didn't even think about it. If he didn't play tricks and played at his own pace, would these bad things still happen?

Dean Smith yelled from the sidelines and kept waving his arms to signal his team to press forward!

attack!

attack!

Use offense to crush the hateful Manchester United people!

Dean Smith has no other choice. There is only one way. The score is behind now, especially the purely offensive starting lineup he has arranged. What else can he do except press out and compete with Manchester United to score goals?

………………

"Dean Smith's team showed a strong desire to attack and courage. Obviously, their tactics are to use offense to defeat Manchester United. They almost ignore defense. Do they want to fight to win this championship?" Commentator Andy ·Gray also expressed his respect for Aston Villa's head coach. Facing Mourinho's Manchester United, few are so respectful.

Aston Villa's players faithfully carried out their coach's intentions and tried to put pressure on the Manchester United goal.

Aston Villa forward Samatta controlled the ball in front and was immediately forced by Manchester United defender Maguire. He could only pass back to Nakamba.

Nakamba stopped the ball, and a Manchester United player immediately followed him.

Nakamba leaned on the defender and pulled the ball back and forth, but could not find a gap to pass forward.

Mourinho smiled proudly on the coaching bench. Manchester United's current defensive ability and fighting intensity obviously made the opponent's players very uncomfortable.

In desperation, Nakamba chose to pass back, but young player Bellingham suddenly stepped forward, which startled Nakamba. He hurriedly made a pass back with less force. Beijing, which had been watching eagerly from the side, Doan directly made a sliding tackle.

"Nice tackle and save!"

Gundogan shoveled the football in front of him, put one hand on the ground, swept the football to Mahrez, who came to meet him, and Mahrez immediately passed the football to Bruno on the right.

………………

Seeing Bruno take the ball, Aston Villa's players immediately felt like they were facing a powerful enemy, and their captain Grealish immediately ran up to defend.

However, as an offensive player, Grealish's defense is completely useless and does not play much role.

"pretty!"

Bruno pulled the ball directly and turned around. At the same time, he suddenly picked up speed and deftly passed the football past the opponent along the sideline. Then facing Grealish who was desperately chasing after him, Bruno knocked the football directly to Greenwood who came to meet him.

After passing the ball, Bruno continued to rush forward, and Greenwood cleverly passed the ball back to him.

Two over one!

Tagget learned a lesson this time. He was afraid of being passed and didn't dare to get too close. However, Bruno moved the football to the left, tricking Tagget into moving a little and immediately used the arch of his foot to knock the football away from the tower. Gate thrust it between his legs, then quickly turned around and wiped him!

"WOW, Bruno is as flexible as a rabbit...the rabbit is having fun!"

Bruno was so fast that he caught up with the football.

At this time, Aston Villa's defense was in chaos, and defender Mings, who was holding back, came to fill his position in a hurry.

Bruno made a slight adjustment and immediately made a shot.

Bruno's long-range shooting ability is well known to everyone. Although Mings knew that this might be a fake move, he did not dare not to block it.

Bruno took advantage of him to stretch his legs to prevent the shot, pulled the ball back, tapped his left foot lightly, and dodged in from the defender's side.

"The second one! It's over! It's a one-shot!"

………………

Mourinho's butt had left his seat. He leaned forward, clenched his fists, and stared intently at Aston Villa's penalty area.

Aston Villa's goalkeeper Niland abandoned the goal and Bruno tried to hit the goal, but he suddenly passed the ball!

The football was pushed to the left by him, and then people saw Greenwood start instantly, get rid of the entanglement of defender Engels, and jump forward.

Facing the huge empty goal, all Greenwood had to do was stretch his foot and push!

"Bruno went solo! Pass the ball...Greenwood! Greenwood!! Greenwood!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!! Easy push! Second! Bruno assists Greenwood to score! Two goals! Manchester United leads Aston Villa 2:0!" Martin Taylor stood up from his seat with the microphone in his hand .

The Manchester United fans in the stands were already shouting when they saw Bruno wearing his crotch and passing Tagget.

When he faced Mings, fake shot and passed the ball, the Manchester United fans cheered and celebrated.

The cheers finally reached their peak after Greenwood put the ball into the goal.

"Long live - Manchester United!!"

………………

Aston Villa's players had nothing to do about this conceded goal.

Thanks to their head coach Dean Smith's desire to defeat Manchester United, who played a substitute rotation, and win the sixth League Cup in Villa's history, he fielded a very offensive lineup. Their midfielder There was a complete lack of barriers. After the football was quickly passed to Bruno's feet, it was almost inevitable that the ball would be conceded.

Facing Bruno, who had excellent footwork and fast speed, their defense was just exhausted. They just watched Bruno break through continuously, making the front of Aston Villa's goal a mess, and then sent the football to the most dangerous place.

Mourinho jumped up from his seat and cheered.

Two goals ahead, everything is under control!

"F**K!" Dean Smith was so angry that he swore, and at the same time, he punched the awning behind him angrily.

Then, as if this punch was not enough to vent his anger, he punched again.

"Hiss!"

The next moment, Dean Smith took a breath and grimaced.

It hurts!

………………

Greenwood's goal became the heavy hammer that crushed the fighting spirit of Aston Villa!

Although their head coach Dean Smith jumped up and down on the sidelines and yelled like a monkey, he could not help Aston Villa change the situation on the field.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United took advantage of a set-piece opportunity, and their tall central defender Maguire scored a header, changing the score to 3:0!

At the beginning of the second half, Bruno was pushed to the ground in the opponent's penalty area, and Manchester United got a penalty kick. Bruno took the penalty kick himself and scored steadily, changing the score to 4:0!

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, smiling and applauding, he knew that the overall situation was decided!

The Aston Villa team, whose morale was low, did not score a goal to save face until more than 80 minutes into the game.

Finally, when McTominay's pass-like shot went out of the goal, the referee blew three whistles to end the game.

………………

"The game is over! The game is over!" The commentator of MUTV shouted happily.

Although the League Cup championship seems a bit tasteless compared to the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship, and even the weight of the FA Cup championship is not as good, it is an official cup championship after all, and winning the championship is still very happy.

On the court, Manchester United players are also celebrating happily, even Bruno.

The League Cup is the first championship Bruno won after joining Manchester United.

Before the start of the 2016-2017 season, although Manchester United played the Community Shield with Leicester City and won the championship, Bruno had just joined the team not long in that game and was not included in the team's roster by Mourinho, so the first championship trophy he really won in Manchester United was the League Cup championship won with Manchester United at the end of February 2017.

In the following 2017-2018 season, Bruno led Manchester United to win the championship of this event again, so now he has won the League Cup championship trophy for the third time.
