hat trick!

The unstoppable Bruno!

The Red Devils thrashed the Swan Sea 5:0 in an away game, and Manchester United's new king showed his talents!

When Manchester United swept Swansea 5-0 away from home, the entire British football world was shocked.

After massacring West Ham United 5-0 at Old Trafford in the first round of the league, Manchester United won again with the same score in the second round. With ten goals scored and zero goals conceded in two games, Manchester United continues to dominate the top spot.

Followed by dark horses Huddersfield and West Brom. These two teams have also won two consecutive games to start the season, but the goal difference is much less than Manchester United. Hussein's goal difference is 4, while West Brom's is only 2.

Bruno is far ahead in the scorer list with 5 goals in two rounds.

Of the remaining 19 teams, only Watford and Leicester City have scored 5 goals!

In other words, in the entire Premier League, there are 17 teams that have not scored as many goals as Bruno alone!

The British media generally gave great recognition to the strong offensive power displayed by Manchester United, especially the tactical changes of head coach Mourinho.

………………

The Guardian wrote an article saying that Mourinho's change has completely activated Manchester United's offense.

"Judging from the two games of the new season, Manchester United has adopted a more aggressive tactical style than last season, giving up the original double midfielder style, optimizing Gundogan's position, and pushing Bruno to the front line. This To make Manchester United’s frontcourt more aggressive, ten goals in two rounds are the best proof.”

"Bruno has also become the biggest beneficiary of the team's tactical change. In the first two rounds of the game, he got more shooting opportunities, which allowed him to score five goals in the game, including in Against Swansea, he even scored his first hat-trick of the new season and his fourth hat-trick in the Premier League.”

"Although it is only two games, it is not difficult to see that after a season of running-in, Manchester United's strength has been further improved in the new season."

"And Manchester United is still recruiting in the transfer market. Tottenham forward Harry Kane and French Ligue 1 champion Monaco's talented forward Kylian Mbappe are said to be very close to joining Manchester United!"

"These actions of the Red Devils are obviously not just to continue to make gains in the Premier League. Manchester United's management is obviously targeting the Champions League. After all, it has been a full nine years since they last won the Champions League. Year."

………………

In addition to the "Guardian", all major British media have also reported on Manchester United's two consecutive victories. After all, they are the only BIG6 team to have won the first two rounds. The other five teams have already had draws or even losses.

Manchester City was held to a 1:1 draw by Everton at the Etihad Stadium in the second round, with former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney scoring the goal. The meritorious captain of Manchester United is still helping his old club in other ways.

After Chelsea lost in the first round, Arsenal and Tottenham were upset in this round. The Gunners lost 0:1 to Stoke City away from home, while Tottenham lost 1:2 to Chelsea in a civil war in London at the New Wembley Stadium.

However, Manchester United head coach Mourinho seems very calm about his two consecutive victories.

The Madman seemed very low-key in interviews with the media, saying that the current two consecutive victories and the top ranking do not have much substantive significance because the strength of both teams is not strong.

The Premier League is a long competition that lasts for thirty-eight rounds. There are many strong opponents such as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. In these strong dialogues, any mistakes may cause the team to fall short. .

………………

On the evening of August 24, Central European Time, the 2016-2017 UEFA Awards Ceremony and the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League Group Stage Drawing Ceremony were held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

Bruno appeared at the award ceremony, accompanied by Manchester United coach Mourinho and club CEO Cristiano Giaretta.

Bruno came to receive the award, while Mourinho and Giaretta represented Manchester United to participate in the draw ceremony of the Champions League group stage.

At the awards ceremony, the three Manchester United men seemed somewhat alone. Despite Manchester United's huge success last season, winning six titles in 2017, they were clearly not the protagonists on this night.

As the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this award ceremony. The five awards presented, in addition to the best goalkeeper, the best defender, the best midfielder, the best forward, and the most watched best player, all have Real Madrid players selected, and they are all favorites to win.

The three selected players for the best goalkeeper were Buffon, Neuer and Oblak. In the end, Buffon won the award. The 39-year-old Buffon led Juventus to win the Serie A and Italian Cup last season, and reached the final of the Champions League. Despite his advanced age, Buffon's performance is as solid as ever. It is precisely because of his presence on the defensive line that other teammates can better devote themselves to the game.

The three selected players for the best defender were Marcelo, Bonucci and Ramos. In the end, Ramos won the award. As the captain of Real Madrid, Ramos' importance to this team is self-evident. Shui Ye made 44 appearances for Real Madrid last season, scoring as many as 10 goals. He has scored goals at the last moment of the game many times. For example, in the national derby with Barcelona, ​​he scored in stoppage time to help the team equalize the score. In the game with Malaga, he scored two goals to bring the team 3 points.

………………

The three selected players for the best midfielder were Toni Kroos, Modric and Bruno, and Bruno finally won the award.

Bruno was also the only player who appeared at the awards ceremony this night who did not participate in the Champions League last season, because Manchester United could only compete in the Europa League last season.

However, Bruno still relied on his 58 goals and 32 assists in 58 games for Manchester United last season, leading the team to win five championship trophies in the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield. With a fantastic performance, he successfully defeated the Real Madrid stars Kroos and Modric and was elected the best midfielder.

The three selected players for the best forward were Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Dybala, and ultimately Cristiano Ronaldo won the award.

Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo represented Real Madrid and scored 42 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions, including 12 goals in 13 games in the Champions League, winning the La Liga and Champions League titles; Messi represented Barcelona and scored 54 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions, and scored 9 goals in the Champions League. He scored 11 goals in the game, but the team honor only has one Copa del Rey championship; Dybala represented Juventus with 19 goals in 48 games in all competitions and 4 goals in 11 games in the Champions League. Compared with Messi and Ronaldo, the gap is still relatively large.

The three players selected for the best of the year were Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Bruno. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo was undisputedly elected.

Bruno's personal performance is not inferior to Ronaldo's at all, and the team honors are also very good. However, Manchester United's failure to participate in the Champions League last season became Bruno's fatal injury. This also directly led to his defeat in the competition with Ronaldo, and even in Not as good as Messi in terms of scoring.

According to data released by UEFA on its official website, Ronaldo scored 482 points in the selection, significantly ahead of Messi's 142 points and Bruno's 109 points.

In addition to awarding these five selected awards, the honorary award UEFA President's Award was also held at the awards ceremony. Roma legend Totti, who announced that he would hang up his boots after the end of last season, won the award.

This is the second consecutive year that an Italian player has won this award. At the awards ceremony before the start of last season, Di Natale, the Udinese captain who hung up his boots, was awarded this honorary award.

………………

At the same time as the award ceremony, there will be a draw ceremony for the new season's Champions League group stage.

The draw rules for the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2017-18 season are roughly the same as before. According to the draw rules of this UEFA Champions League, teams from the same national football association avoid each other in the group stage. At the same time, due to tense relations between Russia and Ukraine, the football associations of the two countries Teams will also not be placed in the same group. The 32 teams participating in this Champions League are divided into 4 tiers.

As the Premier League champion last season, Manchester United competed with the defending Champions League champion and La Liga champion Real Madrid, Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich, Serie A champion Juventus, French Ligue 1 champion Monaco, Portuguese Super League champion Benfica, Ukrainian Super League champion Shakhtar Donetsk, and Russian Super League champion Spartak Moscow, as the seed team.

Unlike in another time and space where five teams participated in the Champions League group stage this season, because Manchester United won the Premier League championship last season, there were only four teams participating in the Premier League this season.

Manchester City and Chelsea both participated in the draw as teams in the second pot, while Tottenham were in the third pot.

After a tense drawing ceremony, Manchester United was finally drawn into Group C along with La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid, Serie A powerhouse Roma, and Azerbaijani team Qarabag.

For Manchester United, this is the worst draw result!

However, Manchester United is not the only unlucky team. Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real Madrid are also in a similar situation to Manchester United. Galacticos were drawn with Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham Hotspur and Cypriot team APOEL.

These two groups are the unquestionable groups of death in the Champions League this season!

What makes people even more dumbfounded is that the two teams, Real Madrid and Manchester United, are the favorites to win the championship according to the major European betting companies.

In the odds of winning the Champions League in the new season set out by the famous bookmaker William Hill, the defending champion Real Madrid ranks first at 5 to 1, followed by Manchester United at 6 to 1, and Bayern Munich ranks first at 7.5 to 1. Third, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are tied for fourth, with odds of 1 to 8.

Obviously, everyone believes in the strength of these two teams. It is believed that their goal is not to qualify from the group, but to compete for the final championship.

The so-called group of death is not Real Madrid and Manchester United, but the teams assigned to the groups where Manchester United and Real Madrid are.
