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

"This is Bruno's 10th goal in the Red Devils derby. He has surpassed Liverpool star Gerrard, who scored 9 goals in the Red Devils derby, as well as Manchester United predecessors George Wall and Sandy Trumbull, becoming the player with the most goals in the Red Devils derby in history!"

“布鲁诺绝对是利物浦克星。在此前他参与的12次双红会中，曼联取得了8胜3平1负的战绩，如今他有希望将对利物浦的胜场增加到9场！”

……

Bruno's goal became the heavy hammer that crushed Liverpool's fighting spirit and completely broke their defense.

In the subsequent games, Liverpool obviously lost their previous passion and the players were very anxious on the field.

In the 87th minute of the game, Liverpool had a great chance to equalize the score. Liverpool played a beautiful quick counterattack, Salah dribbled the ball all the way on the right, while Mane quickly moved forward in the middle. At this time, as long as Salah passed the ball, Mane would have a chance to shoot at the empty goal, but Salah did not pass the ball. Instead, after taking a few more steps, he forced a shot when he was about to enter the small penalty area. As a result, Luke Shaw, who had returned to defense, blocked the ball and it went out of the baseline.

Seeing his team wasting such a good scoring opportunity, Klopp on the sidelines was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Mourinho, who was not far from Klopp, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Salah did not pass the ball but forced a shot himself, which was then blocked by Manchester United players.

………………

It is said that wasting opportunities will inevitably lead to punishment. One minute later, Manchester United also launched a successful quick attack.

In a similar situation to Salah, Bruno passed the ball immediately, bypassing Liverpool's defenders, and McTominay easily shot the ball into the goal, helping Manchester United secure the victory 4:2.

This was Bruno's sixth assist against Liverpool. He was directly involved in 6 goals, making him the player with the most goals in the history of the Red Devils.

In the end, Manchester United beat Liverpool 4-2 at home and entered the fifth round of this season's FA Cup. In the next round, they will face West Ham United led by Moyes.

According to OptaJoe's statistics, this is the 10th time that Manchester United has eliminated Liverpool in the FA Cup. In the history of the FA Cup, this is second only to the number of times Liverpool eliminated Everton (including the final). The Reds have eliminated Everton 12 times in the FA Cup.

However, under Klopp, Liverpool's best FA Cup performance was the fifth round, that is, the round of 16. The other four times they were eliminated in the fourth round, and once they were eliminated in the third round.

After the game, according to the Twitter hot search list, "Klopp sacked" has become one of the hot topics on Twitter in the UK.

In the past seven games, Klopp's team has 7 win, 1 draws and 3 losses, and only defeated Villa, which played with an all-youth team, in the third round of the FA Cup. The team is now ranked 3th in the Premier League, 4 points behind Manchester United, and has withdrawn from the Premier League championship this season.

Recently, some Liverpool fans have been increasingly critical of the team's performance, with some also pointing the finger at Klopp, which ultimately led to the topic of "Klopp sacked" becoming a trending topic on Twitter in the UK.

However, many fans still remain rational. Some people on Twitter are disgusted by the abuse of the "Klopp sack" tag. They believe that fans should be more patient and trustful of this meritorious coach.

………………

"Klopp fired" was just a topic on Twitter, but the head coach of another Premier League giant team was actually fired the next day.

On January 1, Chelsea officially confirmed that the team's head coach Lampard was fired. According to multiple media reports, Tuchel will take over as the Blues' head coach.

Chelsea Football Club’s statement read:

This is a very difficult decision and one that neither the owner nor the board will take lightly.

We thank Frank for all he has achieved during his time as Chelsea manager. However, recent results and performances have not been up to the club's expectations, with the club sitting in mid-table without any clear long-term path to improvement.

It would have been a mistake to part ways with a club legend like Frank at any time, but after lengthy deliberation and consideration, the decision has been taken to make the change now to give the club time to improve on its performances and results this season.

Roman Abramovich said: "This was a very difficult decision for the club, not least because I have a very good personal relationship with Frank and I have great respect for him.

"He is a man of great integrity and has the highest work ethic. However, under the current circumstances, we feel a change of coach is the best option."

"On behalf of myself and everyone at the club and the board, I would like to thank Frank for his work as head coach and wish him all the best for the future. He is a huge icon for this great club and his place here remains undiminished. We will always warmly welcome him back to Stamford Bridge."

The club will make no further comment until a new head coach is appointed.

………………

The fact is that since the beginning of this season, there have been frequent rumors that Lampard might be sacked. It is somewhat unexpected that the genie can hold on until January.

As early as August, a well-known industry insider told the streaming media Athletic that as long as Chelsea played poorly in four or five consecutive games, Chelsea would decide to make changes.

According to Chelsea's statement, Lampard's "recent results and performances have not met the club's expectations, the club is ranked in the middle, and there is no clear long-term improvement method", which is the first and main reason for Lampard's dismissal. Now Chelsea is only ranked ninth in the league with 8 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses and 29 points.

The second reason is the use of core players. In the transfer market last summer, Chelsea spent more than 2.2 million pounds to sign newcomers such as Havertz and Werner, but in the use of players, Lampard did not bring out the role of these stars.

The third main reason for Lampard's dismissal is also the expectation of the team and Abramovich. They hope to reverse the current unfavorable situation as soon as possible and catch up with the top four teams as soon as possible in the limited time left. The team's statement also said that "the club decided to make changes now to give the club time to improve its performance and results this season."

It is worth noting that Chelsea now has 29 points, only 5 points behind fourth-placed Liverpool. Considering the chaotic state of the Premier League this season and Chelsea's super luxurious configuration, as long as they find the right head coach, Chelsea will definitely achieve the desired results before the end of the season.

………………

On January 1, the day after Chelsea officially announced Lampard's dismissal, on the eve of Manchester United's game against their next opponent Sheffield United, at the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Mourinho, Lampard's mentor, what he thought about Lampard's dismissal.

Magic Bird said: "I respect Chelsea's decision, but for Lampard, I want to give him a big hug and hope to have time to have dinner and talk with him in the future."

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

"Whether you are a young coach or an old coach, you need to win here, either get good results or be fired. Compared to the way you play, the result may be the most important in many cases. You must get good results, otherwise, you can only leave."

During Lampard's coaching, Chelsea averaged only 1.67 points per game, which is the lowest average points per game in the Abramovich era.

Stamford Bridge, once the devil's home ground, was also frequently lost during Lampard's coaching period. Data shows that Chelsea lost a total of 7 home games during Lampard's coaching period.

During Lampard's tenure, Chelsea played 28 home games in the league and lost 7 of them.

It is worth mentioning that his predecessor Sarri and his predecessor Conte also lost a total of 7 league home games, and the two of them led their teams in a total of 57 Premier League home games.

………………

Mourinho expressed his sympathy to his disciple, but his team almost suffered a defeat at home in the match against Sheffield United.

Before the game, everyone was naturally optimistic about Manchester United.

After all, as the dominant team in the Premier League, Manchester United has been as stable as an old dog in the past few years, while their opponent Sheffield United only had 19 win, 1 draws and 2 losses in the first 16 rounds, which can be said to be bullied by everyone and set countless shameful records. Unless there is a miracle, it is almost impossible for the "Blades" to successfully avoid relegation in the Premier League this season.

Although Sheffield United's recent form has eased compared to before, but facing a strong team like Manchester United with excellent strength and form, it is extremely difficult for Sheffield United to get points away from home. The primary goal away from home is to lose less and win more.

However, when the game started, Sheffield United's performance at the Millennium Stadium was very tenacious and tough.

In the second minute of the game, Mbappe was injured in a confrontation with Jagielka and had to go to the sidelines for treatment.

In the subsequent game, Sheffield United seemed to be in a position to take the initiative and scored the first goal in the 22nd minute to take the lead.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United was temporarily trailing Sheffield United 0:1 at home. Seeing the situation was not good, Mourinho substituted Bruno at halftime.

In the second half, Manchester United took the lead in launching an offensive.

In the 48th minute, Bruno made a straight pass and Greenwood's low shot from the right side of the penalty area missed.

In the 63rd minute, Bruno took a corner kick and Maguire followed up with a header into the net. Manchester United 1:1 Sheffield United!

In the 73rd minute, Lundstram made a back-triangle pass, Burke shot in the penalty area, the ball hit Tuanzebe and bounced into the net, Manchester United 1:2 Sheffield United!

Manchester United, who fell behind again, launched a frantic counterattack, and Bruno scored two goals in the 81st and 85th minutes, helping Manchester United to get 3 points at home with great difficulty.
