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

This is Manchester United's last game in March. Starting next week, international football will enter the first international match day in 3, and the Premier League will naturally be suspended.

Due to the heavy consumption of the match against Paris Saint-Germain, Mourinho made a large-scale rotation of Manchester United's starting lineup. Except for Bruno and two central defenders, the other eight players were all rotated. Romero replaced De Gea as the goalkeeper, Dalot replaced Cancelo, and Lindelof played as the left back. In the midfield, Bruno partnered with Fred and young player Bellingham, and the front trident was Mahrez, McTominay and Greenwood.

The Foxes have performed very well this season and are currently occupying the third place in the Premier League standings, ahead of a number of traditional Premier League powerhouses such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, etc.

In the first leg of the league match between the two sides, Manchester United did not gain any advantage at the King Power Stadium, and the two sides tied 2:2. Bruno also started that game, and his 1 goal and 1 assist were the key to Manchester United's 1 point away from home.

………………

After the start of the game, the Foxes played very actively at home and frequently pressed forward to attack.

In the 24th minute, Maguire passed the ball forward, Fred got the ball and passed it back to the penalty area, but was intercepted by Iheanacho. He dribbled past the goalkeeper and shot into the empty goal to score. Leicester City 1:0 Manchester United!

However, Manchester United equalized the score in just 4 minutes. Bruno cut in from the right and suddenly shot with his left foot. The ball drew a beautiful arc, bypassed Schmeichel's fingers, and went into the Leicester City goal.

In the 30th minute, Iheanacho was brought down by Maguire when he changed direction with the ball, and Maguire received a yellow card.

In the 34th minute, Bruno fell to the ground in pain after a fight with Fofana, but fortunately it was just a minor injury caused by a scratch from his studs.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Bruno turned around from the left side of the frontcourt and made a triangle pass into the penalty area. Bellingham easily missed the ball in front of him, and Greenwood volleyed the ball into the goal from the back.

2:1, Manchester United overtook the score!

After the change of sides, the home team equalized the score in the 52nd minute. Iheanacho cooperated in the frontcourt, Tielemans drove the ball straight into the penalty area and shot low into the lower left corner of the goal, Leicester City 2:2 Manchester United!

In the 78th minute, Albrighton took a free kick from the left side of Leicester City. McTominay headed the ball from the back of the penalty area and Iheanacho scored with a header. Leicester City 3:2 Manchester United!

Manchester United quickly retaliated. In the 88th minute of the game, also from a free kick, Bruno shot directly at the goal, the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal, and Schmeichel was unable to reach it. Manchester United equalized the score again.

As the game was about to enter overtime, Manchester United once again took the lead.

In the 3rd minute of injury time, Bruno made a lob pass to the penalty area from the right, and Harry Kane, who came on as a substitute, headed the ball into the goal, and Manchester United changed the score to 4:3!

In the end, after a goal-scoring battle, Manchester United relied on Bruno's two shots and two assists to reverse and eliminate Leicester City with a difficult score of 2:2 away from home, and entered the semi-finals of this season's FA Cup.

In the subsequent FA Cup semi-final draw, Manchester United was again blessed by luck and drew the relatively weaker Southampton, while Chelsea faced Manchester City.

According to the schedule, the semi-final between Manchester United and Southampton will be held on the afternoon of April 4, while the semi-final between Chelsea and Manchester City will be held on the afternoon of April 17.

………………

Immediately, international football entered the first international match day of 2021.

European countries will usher in the group stage of the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers on this international match day.

Manchester United will have three games during this international match day, against Azerbaijan, Serbia and Luxembourg.

For Portugal, they are the undisputed strongest team in Group A. In the current FIFA rankings, Portugal continues to rank first, while Serbia is the second-ranked team in the same group. They are currently ranked 30th in the world, followed by Ireland at 42nd, Luxembourg at 98th, and Azerbaijan at 108th.

On the evening of March 3, Portugal played against Azerbaijan in the first round of the group stage.

This was undoubtedly a game with a huge disparity in strength. Portugal launched an attack on Azerbaijan from the beginning of the game, but unfortunately, the Portuguese stars seemed to be out of form and wasted opportunities again and again. In the end, in the first half of the game, Portugal relied on the opponent's own goal to take a 1:0 lead.

In the 35th minute, Ruben Neves made a cross from a 45-degree angle, and Mahamadliev's save hit Medvedev, and the ball bounced into the net.

After the start of the second half, Portugal continued to attack.

In the 68th minute of the game, Bruno dribbled the ball straight into the middle, passed three Azerbaijani players in succession, and took a long shot from the top of the penalty area. The ball whizzed straight into the dead corner, and Portugal led their opponents 2:0 at home.

Four minutes later, Portugal made a comeback. Bruno got the ball on the left and cut inside. After creating an angle, he shot with a beautiful arc ball that broke through Azerbaijan's goal, helping Portugal to secure the victory 3:0.

………………

Three days later, Portugal visited Serbia.

For Portugal, this match is undoubtedly the most crucial one in the group stage, and it can even be said to be a focus battle for the first place in the group.

After the start of the game, the home team launched the first attack, but Mitrovic's shot was blocked by Diaz, and Tadic's powerful shot in front of the penalty area was also blocked.

After enduring Serbia's opening attack, the game quickly fell into Portugal's hands.

In the 10th minute, Bernardo Silva made a 45-degree pass to the back post. Milenkovic made a defensive mistake and Jota headed the ball into the net. Serbia lost 0:1 to Portugal at home.

In the 35th minute, Bernardo Silva made a diagonal pass to the right, Cedric made a cross, Jota headed the ball into the goal, Serbia 0:2 Portugal.

At the end of the first half, Portugal temporarily led Serbia by two goals away from home.

After the change of sides, Portugal experienced a nightmare 15 minutes.

In the 45th minute, Serbia intercepted Portugal's fast break and launched a quick counterattack. Radodzic made a cross from the right, Mitrovic faced a double-team in front of the goal, and headed the ball into the net, Serbia pulled one back!

In the 59th minute, Serbia had another counterattack opportunity. Tadic moved from the backcourt to the right, Radokjic created an angle and made a straight pass, Kostic broke into the penalty area and pushed the ball into the goal. Serbia tied the score with Portugal 2:2.

In just 15 minutes, Portugal lost two goals in a row, and the players were a little confused. Serbia, with its morale boosted, continued to attack, hoping to strike while the iron was hot and overtake the score. However, Maksimovic's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Diaz, and Radodzic's shot from a small angle was also blocked by Lopez.

………………

After withstanding the home team's fierce counterattack, Portugal once again took control of the game rhythm and began to threaten Serbia's goal.

In the 73rd minute, Bruno made a long pass from the right midfield and accurately found Ronaldo in front of the goal. But just when everyone thought Portugal could surpass the score again, Ronaldo's close shot was unexpectedly a cannon.

After missing the kick, Ronaldo covered his face with his hands, looking as if he was afraid to see people.

At the critical moment, Bruno once again stepped up to save the team. In the 80th minute, Sanchez, who came on as a substitute, made a long pass from midfield, and Bruno's long-range shot opened the Serbia goal, giving Portugal a 3:2 lead.

In the 91st minute, Milenkovic, who was somewhat mentally unbalanced, violently tackled Danilo Perreira and the referee directly showed him a red card and sent him off.

Portugal had a chance to extend their lead before the end of the game. Mendes sent a long pass and Ronaldo faced Dimitrovic's attack. Stefan Mitrovic made a sliding tackle to clear the ball, but the slow-motion replay showed that the ball had crossed the goal line.

C Ronaldo and a group of Portuguese players went to the linesman to argue, but the referee showed two yellow cards in a row, one to C Ronaldo and one to Bruno. This shocked fans all over the world and they exclaimed, "What a guy!"

The referee was really brave to show yellow cards to two football kings at the same time!

However, the referee's behavior also made Ronaldo furious. He was still angry until the end of the game. After hearing the whistle at the end of the game, he angrily took off the captain's armband and threw it on the ground.

But no matter what, Portugal still defeated Serbia in an away game with great difficulty, achieved two consecutive victories in the World Cup group stage, and remained first in the group.

………………

After the match between Portugal and Serbia ended, the referee who officiated the match was criticized by many Portuguese media.

The Record wrote "ROUBO!" (Thief!) in big letters on its front page.

The Morning Post said: The referee stole the victory.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Asol" wrote: Sem VARgonha (a double entendre, on the one hand accusing the World Cup qualifiers of not using VAR to assist in penalty decisions, and on the other hand accusing the referee of being "shameless").

Of course, for Portugal, the loss of this game was not just Ronaldo's goal line mystery, but Bruno received another yellow card in the game.

This is the second consecutive game in which he has received a yellow card. In the previous game against Azerbaijan, Bruno also received a yellow card.

According to the regulations, this means Bruno will have to miss Portugal's next national team match, which is the match against Luxembourg.

But some media with ulterior motives said that Bruno was intentionally reshuffling the team and also wanted to save his strength for the next club competition.

On the penultimate day of March, Portugal moved to Luxembourg City and continued their away game to challenge the weak team Luxembourg.

In the first five minutes of the game, both sides frequently exchanged the ball, but no obvious offensive opportunities were created. Without Bruno, Portugal seemed to have lost their ability to play football.

In the 29th minute of the game, Luxembourg scored the first goal!

Senani made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, Rodriguez jumped high in front of the small penalty area and headed the ball into the left side of the goal. Luxembourg 1:0 Portugal.

………………

The Portuguese players felt offended by the goal being scored by a weak team, which led to their team falling behind. This made them more active in the next game and formed a siege on the Luxembourg goal.

But unfortunately, Portugal has not been able to create an absolute chance and has been unable to equalize the score.

Just when everyone thought that Portugal would enter the halftime break with a score of 0:1, Portugal scored a goal in one minute of stoppage time in the first half!

Neto made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Jota headed the ball into the goal from the edge of the small penalty area, changing the score to 1:1.

In the second half of the game, Portugal, knowing its shame and then becoming braver, continued to intensify its offensive.

In the 51st minute of the game, Portugal overtook the score! Ronaldo dribbled on the left and cooperated with Cancelo. Then Ronaldo followed up and shot from the edge of the small penalty area to score. Luxembourg 1:2 Portugal.

In the 79th minute of the game, Portugal had a corner kick opportunity on the left side. Neto took the penalty and the ball was headed into the penalty area by Parsinha in the small penalty area. Luxembourg 1:3 Portugal.

This was also the final score of the game. Portugal reversed the game 3:1 and won away from home, achieving three consecutive victories in the group stage and leading Group A with a 3-point advantage.

………………

The international match day is over and major leagues have resumed.

Bruno returned to the club and soon faced another opponent, Brighton.

This is the 30th round of the Premier League, and Manchester United will host the Seagulls at home.

Although some media used conspiracy theories to treat Bruno's suspension due to accumulated yellow cards in the Portugal national team's away game against Luxembourg, it has to be said that the extra three days of rest allowed Bruno to get more rest time.

After the start of the game with Brighton, the full-blooded Bruno led Manchester United to frequently attack the visiting team's defense, but Bruno and Greenwood missed sure-goal opportunities consecutively.

It is said that if you don't take what God gives you, you will be blamed. Manchester United, which missed good opportunities in a row, suffered a blow in the 13th minute of the game. Brighton attacked from the right front field and made a high cross. Manchester United's old player Welbeck headed the ball in front of the small penalty area in a 1V2 situation, but was blocked by De Gea. He then headed the ball again and scored the goal.

0:1, Manchester United unexpectedly fell behind at home!

Although Manchester United, who fell behind, launched a counterattack immediately, the impact of the FIFA virus on the team was still very obvious. Most of the players were obviously not in good shape, which gave Brighton many opportunities.

In the 18th minute of the game, Maguire's handball gave the opponent a free kick opportunity. Brighton's free kick was lifted into the penalty area, and Mod followed up with a header, but the ball was lifted by De Gea with one hand.

Mourinho made two substitutions in the midfield, replacing the underperforming Gundogan with young player Bellingham, and replacing Mbappe with Mahrez.

Manchester United did not equalize until the 62nd minute. Bruno took the ball in the middle of the frontcourt and took two steps forward, passing it directly to the left side of the penalty area. Rashford got the ball and pushed it into the far corner to score. Manchester United 1:1 Brighton.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Manchester United overtook the score! Bruno received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and passed it to Bellingham on the right side of the penalty area. Greenwood, who replaced Rashford, headed the ball into the goal. Manchester United 2:1 Brighton.

After 4 minutes of stoppage time in the second half, the game ended with Manchester United defeating Brighton 2:1 at home.
