From the man behind the football king to the football king

As an experienced goalkeeper, Leno knows very well that the outstanding shooters in Europe are indeed capable of sending the ball into the goal at any angle and method, and even an extremely small gap may result in a goal.

This is a shooter's instinct that comes from long-term training.

But as a goalkeeper, Leno also has the instinct of a goalkeeper, that is, when he saw Bruno take off, he immediately reacted to Bruno's shooting angle and immediately stretched his left foot forward.

But as soon as he stretched out his foot, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Bruno's shot was too fast and too urgent, and the angle was also very precise.

What surprised him even more was that there was a rebound from the ground.

Damn guy!

Under conditioned reflex, Leno tried his best to lift his left foot. He felt the feeling of his foot touching the ball, but at the same time he also noticed that the ball rubbed his foot. Although it changed the direction, it hit him directly. Toward the goal.

He could only watch as the ball went into the goal he was guarding.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"A shot from Bruno from almost zero angle!"

"This is so unbelievable!"

"Manchester United quickly equalized the score in just ten minutes!"

"Arsenal's defense is neither tight nor outstanding, but no matter how tight or excellent the defensive formation is, it will be in vain in front of Bruno!"

"This is a great goal!"

………………

After Bruno scored, he was so excited that he turned around and ran away. He ran all the way out of the stadium, jumped over the billboards on the sidelines, and rushed directly in front of the visiting team's fans. He opened his arms, clenched his fists, and slammed roared.

"ah!!!!!"

The Manchester United fans in the front row hugged Bruno's legs, and the three thousand Manchester United fans who came to the away game gave a huge cheer, which temporarily suppressed the overwhelming majority of Arsenal fans.

No one expected that less than ten minutes after Arsenal took the lead, he scored Arsenal's goal with a zero-angle shot and helped Manchester United equalize the score!

His condition is really outstanding!

"Judging from the slow-motion replay, this is definitely a wonderful goal, but it is also a very exquisite tactical coordination."

"We can see that when Manchester United was attacking, Bruno was the link-up. Gundogan made two direct passes, and once found Harry Kane, but the England center obviously had no chance and was forced to pass back to Cancelo. "

"Cancelo also pushed forward very hard in this game. He was almost using himself as a winger."

"After Bruno saw that there was no chance, he pulled out of the penalty area again, ran over to meet Cancelo, and then passed to Gundogan."

"It can be said that Bruno's off-the-ball movement was very crucial, pulling out Arsenal's defense."

"Gundogan's through ball was just right. As soon as Bruno accelerated, he directly shook off Kolasinac. When facing David Luiz, he accelerated again and rushed over. "

"The subsequent shot was also quite exciting."

"It can be said that Manchester United played very well in several attacks in this game. This is definitely not an accident."

"We have absolutely reason to believe that this is an offensive routine that has been rehearsed before the game."

………………

Bruno screamed excitedly at the Manchester United fans in the stands, and his teammates behind him pounced on him and pulled him back.

Everyone was so excited, so excited.

Arsenal's offensive was very fierce after taking the lead, and Manchester United was relatively passive on the court. However, under such relatively unfavorable circumstances, Bruno seized the opportunity to equalize the score. This was undoubtedly a boost for Manchester United. Needle.

In the past four seasons, Bruno has been like the locomotive of Manchester United. Everyone has clung to him and moved forward.

Premier League champions, Europa League champions, European Champions Cup champions... all kinds of championship trophies are simply easy to get.

This season, Liverpool have performed very strongly in the league, which has put a lot of pressure on Manchester United players.

Now, in the strong dialogue against Arsenal, Manchester United was able to quickly equalize the score under unfavorable circumstances. This seems to give Manchester United players the hope of reversing Liverpool and winning four consecutive league championships.

How can this not excite the players? Not excited?

In their eyes, Bruno's status is not inferior to that of head coach Mourinho. Because he can always bring surprises and even miracles to the team.

He is like an omnipotent god!

………………

"Routine! This must be a routine they have deliberately practiced!"

Arteta was a little angry and paced back and forth in front of the home team's coaching bench.

It's not that he didn't expect to lose the ball first at home, but he really didn't expect to lose the ball so quickly.

It's only been three minutes!

After all, Arteta is someone who has seen many big scenes, and he quickly forced himself to calm down.

Manchester United desperately attacked when the score was behind, and they must have focused on attacking and defending Arsenal on the left before the game. This allowed Manchester United to quickly equalize the score, and Bruno was indeed in great condition.

But these are no longer important. The most important thing is that Arsenal has been tied and the rhythm of the game has been messed up. What should be done now to get Arsenal back on track to victory?

You know, although the Arsenal management said that they still trust Arteta, if they fail to win four consecutive games after taking over Arsenal's head coach, it will still greatly undermine their trust in him.

Should we press forward next? Or should we stabilize our position first and slowly plan?

Arteta frowned and struggled for a while, then looked at his assistant Frederick Ljungberg. But this Arsenal senior seemed a little confused at the moment, and obviously didn't know what to do.

At this time, who can give Arteta an idea?

As the team's head coach, he has to take this responsibility.

In the last game against Chelsea, his team led for 83 minutes, but lost two goals in just four minutes, losing the 3 points that were about to be obtained. Everyone thought he was too conservative, because Arsenal was not able to maintain a continuous offensive after taking the lead, which led to the team's subsequent loss and defeat.

………………

Last time, Chelsea reversed the game when they were leading. If they were reversed by Manchester United again today, then...

Thinking of this, Arteta gritted his teeth secretly, walked to the sidelines, and signaled the team to actively counterattack and must regain control of the ball and strive to score again.

After Bruno scored a goal, Arsenal began to want to control the situation of the game. But Manchester United obviously did not want to give up the advantage they had worked so hard to gain to their opponents.

The three offensive players in the frontcourt began to actively press Arsenal's defenders, and the midfield also pressed players including Torreira and Xhaka at the same time, which made it difficult for Arsenal to effectively pass the ball to the frontcourt.

It was not until the 26th minute that Arsenal got a chance. Aubameyang kicked the ball on the right side of the penalty area, about 15 meters away from the goal, but the shot was blocked by Lindelof.

Two minutes later, Arsenal launched another long pass. Maguire judged the landing point in advance and blocked Lacazette with his body, forcing the latter to commit a foul during the scramble. The referee whistled and warned him.

Neither attack was threatening. Arsenal's attack was obviously not as sharp as at the beginning of the game.

………………

During the game, Bruno actively pressed the frontcourt and observed his opponents. He found that the reason why Arsenal performed poorly was not only because Manchester United quickly equalized the score before, which made Arsenal lose their spirit and mess up their rhythm, but also because their physical fitness was really bad.

Arsenal's bench depth is obviously inferior to Manchester United and Manchester City, not to mention Liverpool and Chelsea. In the extremely dense Christmas devil schedule, the players' physical condition is very poor.

The most obvious thing is that they all look very tired.

After losing the ball, Manchester United always launched a counterattack on the spot as soon as possible. The purpose is not only to get the ball back, but also to delay the opponent, which reflects the advantages of the players' physical fitness and running ability.

This is partly due to Manchester United's tactics and habits, and partly due to physical fitness. Although the schedule is currently densely packed with Christmas devils, Manchester United's strong bench lineup allows the team to rotate well and maintain a good record.

After Arsenal grabbed the ball and entered the front of Manchester United's penalty area, Manchester United's defense was basically in place, and the next step was the offensive battle.

But on the other hand, Manchester United made a quick counterattack after stealing the ball several times, and they could quickly create threats, especially Kolasinac on the left. The Bosnian left back faced the successive attacks of Mbappe, Bruno and Cancelo on the left, and was really struggling.

Even when the game reached the 31st minute, Kolasinac got the ball and Bruno rushed towards him quickly, and the Bosnian left back immediately passed the ball to David Luiz in the middle.

But the problem was that Harry Kane was near David Luiz and immediately stole the ball from the Brazilian defender.

David Luiz lost the ball, and the English center rushed into the penalty area with the ball and shot directly.

But this shot came in a hurry, and Arsenal was shocked. Harry Kane himself did not remain calm enough. He shot too hard and was saved by Leno.

The German goalkeeper made a very crucial save!

When the ball flew out, Rashford chased after it to pick it up, but Xhaka cleared the ball at the critical moment.

Although the crisis was resolved, Kolasinac's mistake still made Arsenal sweat.
