From the man behind the football king to the football king.

On the evening of January 2021, 1, in the 1th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Aston Villa at home, and Bruno started again.

This season, Aston Villa performed very well in the Premier League and ranked third in the Premier League standings at the end of 2020. The main reason why Aston Villa can achieve such a good result is that their defense is in place. In the first 16 rounds, they only lost 16 goals, the team with the fewest goals lost among the 20 Premier League teams.

In this game, Aston Villa also adopted a key defensive strategy against Bruno, but Bruno was still very active.

In the 39th minute, Bruno made a clever heel pass, Cancelo made a cross from the bottom right, and Harry Kane headed the ball into the net. Manchester United 1:0 Aston Villa!

In the 57th minute, Grealish made a low cross from the left, and Traore calmly shot the ball from the back post to help Aston Villa equalize the score!

But just two minutes later, Bruno helped Manchester United create a penalty kick opportunity. He dribbled into the penalty area and was knocked down by Douglas Luiz. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Bruno took the penalty kick himself and scored, helping Manchester United to surpass the score again.

At the end of the game, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 2:1 at home.

Liverpool challenged Southampton away this round. In the first half, Ings received a pass from Prowse and turned to shoot, and Salah headed the ball high in the penalty area. In the second half, Wijnaldum's volley caused Stephens to handball in the penalty area, but the referee did not make any comments. At the end of the game, Liverpool lost 0:1 to Southampton away, and suffered three rounds without a win, and was 13 points behind Manchester United in the standings.

According to statistics, Liverpool has lost points in 17 of the 8 games this season, a total of 18 points. Last season, they only lost 15 points in the entire season. After 17 games last season, Liverpool's points were 49, a full 16 points more than now.

反倒是曼联，近些年的表现一直非常稳定。自从布鲁诺加盟曼联后，曼联这几个赛季在17轮后拿到的积分，分别是48分、51分、45分、47分和46分。

In a strong dialogue at Stamford Bridge, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 3:1, overtaking Chelsea with two games less and rising to seventh in the standings.

In the standings, apart from Manchester United, which is at the top of the list and has already taken the lead, the difference between Liverpool, which is in second place, and Manchester City, which is in seventh place, is only 5 points.

Five days later, in the League Cup semi-final, Manchester United faced Manchester City at home. The two sides fought hard in the first half and the score was 0:0, but at the beginning of the second half, Bruno assisted Rashford to score in just four minutes, opening the scoring for Manchester United. Then Mbappe assisted Harry Kane to score again in the th minute.

Manchester City scored a goal in the 88th minute.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2:1 and entered this season's League Cup final.

The day before the Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0 at home.

As a result, Manchester United's opponent in the final is Tottenham.

According to the schedule, the League Cup final will be held on the afternoon of April 4, which is different from previous League Cup finals which were held in late February or early March.

The reason why the English Football Association made such arrangements is naturally to postpone the date of the final as much as possible, hoping that the epidemic will take a turn for the better, so that the stadium can be fully open to the public in order to obtain more economic benefits.

………………

As we approach mid-January, the third round of the FA Cup begins and Premier League teams begin to join the schedule.

Manchester United's opponent in the third round of the FA Cup is Watford, which was relegated to the Championship after the end of last season.

Mourinho continues to make major changes to Manchester United's lineup.

In the 5th minute, Manchester United took the lead. Bruno took a corner kick and McTominay headed the ball, which hit the post and bounced into the net. Manchester United got off to a dream start at home and led Watford 1:0.

In the 43rd minute, Manchester United played a wonderful combination. Greenwood passed the ball to Mata in front of the penalty area. The latter made a wonderful heel pass to Bruno who came in. The Manchester United captain easily pushed the ball into the goal, helping Manchester United to extend their lead to 2 goals.

In the second minute of injury time in the second half, Manchester United won a free kick at the top of the penalty area, and Bruno took the penalty and shot directly into the goal. 2:3, Manchester United secured the victory, and Bruno scored twice.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Watford 3-0 at home, winning four consecutive home games.

According to Opta statistics, Manchester United has played against lower-level teams in the FA Cup 48 times, and successfully advanced 47 times.

The last time Manchester United lost to a lower-level team in the FA Cup was in 2010, when they lost 0-1 to Leeds United at home. At that time, the White Roses were still in the English League One. But since then, Manchester United has advanced in all 17 FA Cup matches against lower-level teams.

In the subsequent FA Cup fourth round draw, Manchester United drew Liverpool, and the match time was on the afternoon of January 1.

This is the worst news for both Manchester United and Liverpool.

而从1月12日晚上到1月24日下午，将有3场双红会上演。分别是社区盾、英超和足总杯。

………………

On the evening of January 12, the first of three consecutive Manchester derby matches was held at the new Wembley Stadium.

This is a Community Shield match, which was originally scheduled to be held before the start of the season, but due to the schedule caused by the epidemic, the match was postponed until now.

The two sides fought fiercely on the field, with people falling down frequently, but the game was more intense than exciting, and the players on the field were never able to find an effective way to break through the opponent's goal.

From the first half to the second half, from the 50th minute to the 70th, 80th, and even the 89th minute, both sides were struggling to find ways to break through the opponent's goal.

By the end of the game, Bruno was already very tired from playing, but he still gritted his teeth.

After the fourth official on the sidelines played the sign for three minutes of extra time, everyone in the stadium, including all the viewers in front of the TV and even the commentator of the game basically believed that a draw would be the result of regular time and the game would go into overtime.

But at the critical moment, Bruno received the pass from Gundogan on the right and passed it back to Cancelo.

The Portuguese right-back made a diagonal pass into the penalty area and accurately found Harry Kane.

The Manchester United center forward used his body to block Liverpool's central defender and gently pushed Cancelo's pass back.

Bruno, who was originally outside the penalty area, suddenly cut into the penalty area from the right rib. After receiving the pass from Harry Kane, he suddenly accelerated and cut sideways, shook off Liverpool's defensive midfielder, dribbled past another Liverpool central defender near the penalty spot, and shot directly with his left foot.

"Bruno dribbled past two opposing players... and shot directly!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Bruno! At the critical moment! Bruno stepped forward again and saved Manchester United!"

"1:0!"

After scoring the goal, Bruno rushed out of the stadium excitedly.

It feels so great to kill the enemy!

Manchester United players also rushed to the sidelines and hugged Bruno frantically.

This sudden goal represents a victory, represents that Manchester United has won a championship trophy again, and represents Manchester United's winning streak over the past period of time.

Since being tied by Leicester City on Boxing Day, Manchester United has won five consecutive games in all competitions in two weeks!

In the close-up of the live TV broadcast, Bruno laughed loudly and accepted the congratulations of the fans and teammates in the stands.

………………

Due to the Community Shield, Manchester United's away game against Fulham in the 18th round of the Premier League was postponed to a week later.

Five days after winning the Community Shield, the recent Reds derby ushered in the second match, with Manchester United visiting Anfield to challenge Liverpool.

This is the 19th round of the Premier League. Normally, the final match of the half-season should be held around Boxing Day, but it has now been postponed to mid-January.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle at Anfield, the two sides ended in a 0:0 draw.

After the 1th round of the league, Manchester United still ranked first in the league. With one game less, they achieved 15 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and got 47 points.

排名第二的是莱斯特城，蓝狐目前同样是踢了18场比赛，11胜2平5负拿到35个积分。

曼城本轮4:0大胜水晶宫，少赛2轮取得10胜4平3负，不知不觉间已经以34个积分上升到积分榜第三名。

利物浦9胜7平2负，在同积34分的情况下，以1个净胜球劣势屈居第四。

Unconsciously, Manchester United's biggest title rival has become their city rival. Although the Blue Moon is 13 points behind Manchester United in the standings, they have played one less game than Manchester United. After the make-up game, they will most likely be only 1 points behind Manchester United, and will be the closest team to Manchester United.

………………

On the evening of January 20th, in the 18th round of the Premier League, Manchester United challenged Fulham away.

The recent series of battles have caused Manchester United players to be generally very tired. Manchester United performed rather dull throughout the first half and could not get into shape. Bruno's performance on the field was one of the few bright spots.

But in this case the second half was completely broken.

Just two minutes into the game, Mbappe broke through on the right and created a corner kick opportunity. Bruno took the corner kick from the right and assisted Van Dijk to score with a header.

Six minutes later, the situation was opened up again on the right. Mbappe cooperated with Cancelo on the right. The Portuguese right-back made a cross from the bottom and Bruno, who came in from behind, easily pushed the ball into the goal.

After taking a two-goal lead, the game completely entered Manchester United's rhythm.

Bruno frequently moved on the right, but also often suddenly switched to the left.

In the 3th minute, Bruno suddenly ran to the left, received a pass from Rashford, dribbled the ball inside, and suddenly shot with his right foot, hitting a curved ball and breaking Fulham's goal again, 0:.

This was Bruno's 182nd goal in the Premier League, tying him with Manchester City striker Aguero for fourth place in the Premier League's all-time scorer list. He is very close to the 187 goals scored by former Manchester United legendary striker Andy Cole.

With Bruno's goal-scoring efficiency, he is very likely to surpass Andy Cole in February and rise to third place in the Premier League's historical scorer list.

However, Rooney, who scored 208 goals in the Premier League, is unlikely to catch up with him this season.

Two minutes later, Cancelo received a pass from Bruno on the right and made a cross to create a corner kick. Bruno assisted Harry Kane to score again with a header, changing the score to 4:0.

Just four minutes later, Manchester United launched another attack from the frontcourt. Kante shot from the edge of the penalty area and penetrated Fulham's goal.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Fulham 5:0 away from home.

………………

After the game, the news that Bruno ranked fourth in the Premier League's historical scorer list spread around the world.

However, on this day, the world's attention was focused on another Portuguese man.
