From the man behind the football king to the football king.
Chapter 831: Defeat Manchester City
Human potential is unlimited. As long as one has strong enough willpower, one can constantly break through one's limits.
What's more, Bruno knew very well that he was far from reaching his limit.
Zinchenko received the ball from the frontcourt on the left side. Bruno rushed over immediately and harassed the Ukrainian left-back on the left side, forcing the latter to pass the ball as soon as possible.
De Bruyne, Jesus, Sterling, Pogba... the ball was passed back and forth between Manchester City players, but just when Pogba tried to pass the ball into the penalty area, Van Dijk suddenly kicked the ball out.
The football did not fly far. Maguire grabbed it and kicked it again. The force was still not strong, but it landed right in the empty area on the right.
The main idea of Manchester United players was to clear the ball and eliminate the danger as soon as possible.
But as the ball fell, Bruno suddenly realized that this was an opportunity.
The football fell between Zinchenko and Rodri, and if Bruno was fast enough, he would have a chance to grab the ball before the two of them and launch a counterattack directly with the ball.
Regardless of the effect, at least it can consume game time.
………………
Bruno made the decision almost the moment he determined where the ball would land, and he rushed towards the ball as quickly as an arrow.
Zinchenko and Rodri both looked at the ball at the same time and chased after it at the same time, but both of them obviously wanted to give up the ball, so they were not determined to chase it.
Especially Rodri, who has plenty of energy and was originally the most likely to be the first to grab the ball.
But Bruno was very determined. He gritted his teeth and chased after him as fast as he could. Before Zinchenko and Rodri, he managed to squeeze the ball forward from the double-team of the two and quickly caught up.
The two Manchester City players were shocked and immediately turned around to chase after him, but they were already one step behind Bruno.
Bruno took a big step forward with the ball, and when De Bruyne, who was nearby, tried to defend, he accelerated and rushed past him.
Manchester City's two central defenders Ruben Dias and Stones kept retreating, Bruno was dribbling on the right, and Greenwood on the left quickly followed. Manchester United's two offensive players forced Manchester City's defense to retreat again and again.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Stones decisively chose to block the position.
But Bruno had already rushed up to full speed at this time. Without waiting for Stones to get in position, he shook his body slightly, as if he wanted to break through from the inside to find Greenwood, but in fact he suddenly pushed the ball to the right with his right foot.
………………
Almost at the first encounter between the two sides, Mestones was fooled by Bruno's feint. By the time he realized that he was fooled and turned back, Bruno had already caught up with the ball and headed straight for the penalty area.
This is the right side of the center arc area. As long as we enter the penalty area and give Bruno a chance, he can directly score a one-on-one goal.
If all else fails, he can pass the ball horizontally to the back post, and Greenwood may well be able to score the goal.
Stones acted decisively and committed a foul. He pushed Bruno hard on the back from behind.
Although Bruno was rushing forward quickly, he was also paying attention to the every move of everyone around him. As soon as Stones made a move, he knew what was going on.
He was mentally prepared. The force on his back disrupted his steps, but after a stumble, he did not fall to the ground, but continued to rush forward.
On the contrary, Stones didn't push Bruno down in the first attempt, which surprised him, because it was impossible for him to catch up with Bruno now, let alone defend him, even stopping him from shooting was impossible.
The only chance is to foul again.
The Manchester City center back gritted his teeth and grabbed Bruno's jersey from behind to prevent him from entering the penalty area.
But Bruno rushed at full speed, and inertia made him keep rushing forward. After Stones reached out and grabbed his jersey, he still rushed forward two steps with Manchester City's central defender, until his jersey was torn, he lost his balance and fell into Manchester City's penalty area.
………………
The referee's foul whistle sounded crisply.
More than a thousand Manchester United fans in the main stand shouted in unison, with a strong rhythm and in unison, calling for a penalty.
Manchester City players gathered around and kept putting pressure on the referee, arguing that this should not be a penalty. It was a foul outside the penalty area and was definitely not a penalty.
Bruno was not injured, nor did he lie on the ground. Instead, he crawled up from the ground, panting as he pulled up his jersey, which was of good quality but torn, and showed it to the referee.
At this moment, all the live cameras were focused on Bruno, and fans all over the world were watching him.
The referee comforted Bruno and signaled to the Manchester City players not to come closer, otherwise he would not mind giving them a card. This shocked the excited Manchester City players.
"From the slow-motion replay, it was an undisputed foul and Bruno had already rushed into the penalty area. It was undoubtedly a penalty, but Stones was not the last defender."
"It should be said that Manchester City was too eager to attack and pressed too high, giving Manchester United a good counterattack opportunity, but the more important thing was Bruno. His counterattack this time was very sharp, especially his stability when dribbling at high speed."
"Bruno came on and changed the situation again."
"The referee finally made a decision."
"Penalty kick!"
"It was a very correct decision, giving Manchester United a penalty."
………………
"It is already the 3th minute, with three minutes of added time. Giving Manchester United a penalty at this time will undoubtedly hand over the power to decide the outcome of the game to Manchester United. As long as this penalty is scored, Manchester United will most likely win three points."
"This Manchester United team is so strong! Although they had a short downturn at the beginning of the season, after losing to Crystal Palace in the second round of the league, they have already won nine consecutive games in the Premier League. If they beat Manchester City tonight, they will once again win ten consecutive games in the Premier League!"
"In this round of games, strong teams including Manchester City have encountered unexpected results. If Manchester United wins, they will have an 8-point advantage in the Premier League standings!"
"For Manchester United, there is basically no possibility of missing this penalty. After all, Bruno has not missed since his first penalty kick and has scored 53 consecutive penalties, which is a record that shocked the whole world!"
"According to records, among the players in world football who have taken more than 50 penalties, it is rare to maintain an 85% success rate. Besides Bruno, the only one with a success rate above 90% is Lewandowski."
"Cristiano Ronaldo, who is famous for his penalty kicks, has taken 160 penalties in his career and scored 135, making him the player with the most penalty kicks in history. However, his penalty success rate is only 84%!"
There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!
………………
After the referee awarded the penalty, Bruno quickly ran to the sidelines.
According to the rules of the game, since his jersey was torn, he had to change into an intact jersey before returning to the field.
"Well done!" Mourinho smiled and hugged Bruno.
This penalty kick was crucial. As long as it was scored, Manchester United would have won the game today.
"I'm doing my best too." Bruno laughed.
Mourinho said nothing, but his eyes were full of appreciation and affirmation.
It is easy to say that we should do our best, but how many people can actually do it and follow through with it?
Carrick also smiled from ear to ear and handed a brand new replacement jersey to Bruno.
As a veteran who has played for Manchester United for ten years, Carrick naturally hopes that the team can beat the opponent in every city derby. Now Bruno has won a penalty for Manchester United, and with Bruno's abnormal penalty success rate, Carrick naturally knows that today's game is secure, and he is naturally very happy.
When Bruno was changing clothes on the sidelines, the Manchester United players on the field were waiting quietly, and no one competed for the right to take the penalty kick.
At the critical moment, Bruno naturally took the lead. After returning to the field, he pushed aside everyone, walked into the penalty area, placed the ball on the white dot, stepped firmly on the surrounding grass, and then slowly stepped back two steps.
………………
Bruno closed his eyes and simply ignored Ederson who was moving back and forth on the goal line.
He tried to slow down his breathing and calm himself, while at the same time feeling the movements around him.
Often, penalty kicks are missed due to excessive psychological pressure.
Bruno has always had a good psychological quality, and being afraid of fighting has never been his style.
After opening his eyes again, Bruno looked straight at Ederson opposite him. The Manchester City goalkeeper had also been paying attention to him. After their eyes met, Bruno suddenly smiled, revealing a faint smile.
After the referee arranged the players, he immediately blew the whistle for the free throw.
Bruno took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly, with a very obvious and highly misleading pause in the middle, and then kicked the ball directly with his right foot.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLL!!!!!"
"Bruno scored another penalty kick, shooting directly into the middle. He is so skilled and daring!"
"But from the slow-motion replay, he had a very obvious pause before kicking the ball, and Ederson was obviously fooled by him, but then he shot directly into the middle, which Ederson did not expect at all."
"It should be said that this was a very bold penalty, but it fully reflected Bruno's psychological quality."
"Bruno broke his record of consecutive penalty kicks to fifty-four!"
"1:0! The balance is finally broken!"
"Bruno's penalty kills Manchester City!"
