From the man behind the football king to the football king

The intermission passed quickly and the second half was about to begin.

Players from both sides came out of the locker room one after another, and the fans in the stands cheered warmly.

As soon as Bruno came out, the TV cameras were focused on him. He was very active in the first half and contributed an assist to the team. The offense before the end of the first half is still talked about today.

What outstanding performance will he have in the second half? Worth the wait.

De Bruyne naturally also received a lot of attention. Before the start of the second half, apart from Bruno, he was the one who gave the most close-up time.

The director of the live broadcast told everyone in this way that these two people are the leaders of their respective teams, and they will be the key to the outcome of this game!

"Friends, spectators! Welcome back to the Old Trafford Stadium. What is about to begin is a focus game in the fourth round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season. The two sides are Manchester City and Manchester United. The score in the first half is 1 :1, the two sides were temporarily tied. In the 20th minute, Rooney took the lead for Manchester United. The person who assisted him was Bruno! In the 41st minute, Manchester City equalized the score and it was De Bruyne who scored.”

"Now that players from both sides have entered the court, we have seen Bruno... He performed very well in this game. He had assists in offense and defended Sterling several times. You must know that he can play in a pair of There are not many people who can guard Sterling..."

Bruno did not do this. He strode towards the football. Although it looked like he was trying to make a big save or dunk the football behind him, he did not expect that his foot was very light when he swung it down and the football was rubbed by him. It just crossed the legs of De Bruyne who was intercepting the ball and returned to Gundogan's feet.

But their fouls were very minor, at most they were pulling the jersey, pushing with their hands, stumbling under their feet...

"Fernandinho didn't even touch Bruno's clothes, and he gave away the football!"

………………

The second half of the game started at the referee's whistle, and neither side made any substitutions.

………………

Bruno glanced at Nolito's back thoughtfully.

Gundogan took a step back and saw the football flying towards him, and stopped quickly. Bruno pointed at the far end, and he understood and moved the football directly, breaking Manchester City's frontcourt press.

If you foul me, I will reduce the time the football stays at my feet, and then your foul will naturally be useless.

Bruno glanced back at the football, came back to adjust his speed, and then let the football fall in front of him.

The football fell from behind him. Just as he stretched out his foot to tap the football down, he felt his supporting foot being kicked. But he did not fall, because this level of injury could not interfere with him.

Bruno did not continue to control the ball, nor did he try to stop the football. After the football fell, he first held it up with his left foot to delay its fall. Then he half-turned and used the outside instep of his right foot to push the football to the side. As soon as he stepped in, Gundogan, who came from behind, used his thigh to push the football out.

Ibrahimovic and the opponent's center back Otamendi were fighting for the top in the middle. The tall and tall Ibrahimovic had the upper hand and pushed the football back.

………………

………………

Under their foul, Bruno didn't even organize a fast break.

In subsequent games, as long as Manchester United switches from defense to offense, when Bruno gets the ball in the backcourt, at least two Manchester City players will immediately come up to him and then foul him. They may even foul him either to steal the ball or to foul him. Come.

…

Various praises appeared in the commentary box at the same time.

Iheanacho made a cross, and Sterling grabbed the point in front of the goal. Unfortunately, under Bruno's personal interference, his shot failed to hit the target, and the weak shot allowed De Gea, who was well positioned, to get it easily.

These fouls are not worthy of a card, but they can effectively prevent Manchester United's rapid attack. , allowing Manchester United players to run in vain again and again.

As long as the football is at their feet, there's no problem.

Fouls against players without the ball must be strictly prohibited!

The referee's whistle sounded, Manchester City fouled!

The person who committed the foul was Nolito. He ran away immediately after the foul. The referee only made a gesture to let Manchester United take a free kick in the backcourt. Manchester United's fast break opportunity was gone.

However, the TV broadcast also noticed that as soon as the second half started, several Manchester United players, including Lingard, Mata and Fellaini, put on their vests to warm up. Maybe Manchester United will be the first to make adjustments?

“What can we say besides beautiful?”

Gundogan passed the football to Bruno, but the force was a little weak. There was De Bruyne next to him, and the opponent rushed forward when he saw it.

In Mourinho's view, Bruno in the game was a bit unfamiliar even to him.

Bruno knew that this would cause him some trouble, but it was just some trouble.

In fact, Gundogan knew something was wrong when he passed the football. His passing force was too weak and he could easily be intercepted by the opponent and then counterattack. So after passing the ball, he quickly took a step back to prepare to defend Deb. Laune.

Thinking of this, Bruno led his teammates to speed up the attack.

Bruno's wonderful performance made Manchester City players a little uncomfortable. In previous videos, Bruno has never shown such strength. They believe that Bruno is at best an excellent midfield organizer, but Bruno now cannot be simply defined by this.

Bruno did not give up the ball. He and De Bruyne rushed forward to fight for possession of the ball.

Generally speaking, if a player is placed in Bruno's position, his choice will most likely be to pass the football out with his big feet to get the football out of this small space as quickly as possible, or to snap the football back or pull it back with his feet faster, which is more ruthless to escape the press. De Bruyne.

After possessing the ball for several minutes, they finally hit the penalty area.

This kind of performance is not unfamiliar to Real Madrid fans, nor is it unfamiliar to fans of the French national team. Even Juventus fans still vaguely remember that retired world football midfielder Zidane once Such a wonderful performance was given to them.

I don’t have the ball anymore, why are you still fouling me?

When the football came again, Bruno even knocked the football directly to Gundogan behind him with his heel. It was impossible for the other party to foul him again. If they rushed to foul him at this time, the yellow card would never escape. of.

When you thought he was going to stop the football, he stopped it and got away from Fernandinho who was defending him; when you thought he was bound to lose the ball when he was caught between two Manchester City players. , but he passed the football out in the defense of two people pulling and shoveling; just when you thought he would stop the high-altitude ball and give you time to come up and defend him, he directly used his feet to pad the football to his teammates...

Seeing Manchester City retreat quickly, De Gea was not in a hurry to throw the football away. He waited for everyone to return to their positions before kicking the football forward with a big kick.

Bruno knew that Manchester City was a little panicked now because his fast play was working.

"Wonderful!"

He finally understood. It seemed that the other party was planning to use this method to contain himself and Manchester United's speed.

No Manchester City player thought that Bruno would pass the ball like this, and Gundogan easily broke through with the football!

In this case, we must strike while the iron is hot and decide not to wait for Manchester City to react. When they react, their strong strength will come into play. By then, it will definitely be very difficult for Manchester United to confront the opponent head-on.

He ran forward and continued to control the ball. At this time, the person next to him rushed up and reached out to grab his clothes. He tried to run forward again, but he couldn't run anymore.

Shots like this appeared many times in the following games, and even Mourinho couldn't help but applaud his wonderful performance again and again.

As soon as De Gea received the ball, Manchester City's players quickly ran back. They already knew how fast Manchester United's rapid attack was.

Bruno had just completed his close defense of Sterling in front of the goal, and then rushed out of the penalty area. De Gea then threw the football to him.

And this also has the advantage of making Manchester United's already fast attack faster, because the football does not have to stay at his feet, saving a lot of time.

………………

I didn't receive such treatment in the first half. Manchester City's players played politely. There was not a single yellow card in the first half, which shows the problem.

The commentators also applauded Bruno's inadvertent display of skill and awareness.

………………

In the 60th minute, Manchester City just completed an attack. Iheanacho's shot was directly caught by De Gea.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City did not take advantage of their kick-off opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United's hinterland. They passed the football back to attract Manchester United to press out.

When Bruno moved to the frontcourt, Luke Shaw passed the football from the backcourt. He stopped the ball and Fernandinho was almost behind him.

"Bruno taught the masters of the art at Manchester City a lesson!"

"Oh!!" the Manchester United fans in the stands exclaimed.

When he performs like this, it's really difficult to just think of him as an average midfielder.

This performance earned him applause from the stands, but it was by no means Bruno's only outstanding performance.

Bruno has already stepped forward to respond. The football fell in front of him, and Bruno raised his foot to stop the football. Fernandinho quickly pressed on and entangled him.

Bruno did not continue to run forward with the ball, nor did he get entangled with Fernandinho. He used his left foot behind the football to move the ball to the left, causing Fernandinho's body to move that way. But it was just a fake move. His body jumped up and instead of moving the football, he used his right foot to move the football to the right, exactly the opposite of Fernandinho!

It was too late for Fernandinho to adjust his focus.

Bruno moved the football and broke through from his left hand side!
