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

Chapter 1002 God Bruno

Where did the football fly to?

The ball, which was touched by Van Dijk, did not fly towards the goal, but changed direction slightly and swooped towards the far post!
If the ball flies along this path, it will most likely go wide of the goal line, and Manchester United will miss another scoring opportunity!
Just then, a blue figure flashed across Liverpool's goal like lightning, chasing after the ball!

It's Bruno!

As the ball flew towards the baseline, Bruno caught up from behind, and only then did everyone's attention return to Bruno, realizing that he had unexpectedly appeared there!

Bruno's arrival came as a huge surprise to everyone, including his teammates at Manchester United and his players at Liverpool.

Only Alisson turned around, intending to lunge backward.

However, many believe that even if Bruno manages to catch the ball, he'll have little chance of threatening Liverpool's goal. His relationship with the ball and the goal makes it difficult for him to handle the ball; his best outcome would be intercepting it, and preventing it from going out of bounds would be a significant achievement.

………………

The current relationship between Bruno, the football, and the goal is that the football flies straight towards the goal line outside the far post, while Bruno is behind the football, almost parallel to the goal.

In this situation, even if he manages to catch up with the ball, the most likely outcome is that he will kick it out of bounds!

It's difficult enough to stop a football, let alone to change its direction with a shot.

Normal shots are already very difficult, and with these unconventional shots, whether they go in or not depends entirely on luck...

But Bruno had no intention of giving up. He gave chase with all his might, and then in one swift motion, he sent his entire body flying!

After flying out, he swung his left foot, but instead of kicking the ball, he kicked it to the outside of the ball.

His left leg then swung back from the outside like a meteor hammer with a rope attached!
This movement is awkward. In order to generate force, Bruno's entire body is twisted, with his upper and lower body not in the same direction, making him look like a human twisted rope!
The move wasn't pretty, but it worked. His heel struck the ball, and the ball suddenly curved in mid-air, turning and flying towards the goal!

At that moment, Alisson lunged forward, but it was too late. The ball arced through the air in an unbelievable arc, grazed the far post, and went into the goal before crashing into the side netting!

As for when Alisson will pounce, that's no longer important!
...............

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!"

Andy Gray roared, his voice cracking by the end, but he kept roaring, then took a breath and continued roaring.

The vast Anfield stadium fell into a sudden, deathly silence. Just a second ago, the Reds fans were chanting Liverpool's anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone," but as if they had been choked, they stopped singing instantly, their eyes filled with despair.

Only the two thousand-plus Manchester United fans who had traveled from afar were jumping, pumping their fists, shouting, and hugging in the corner. The previous despair was suddenly swept away by a fierce storm.

"Bruno! Bruno! Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!!!"

"Well done, Bruno!! He scored the winning goal against Liverpool!"

"Manchester United's key man! The decisive factor in the championship! The fighter against fate!"

"Bruno! Absolutely incredible! He delivered the fatal blow to Liverpool with his heel! He not only defeated Liverpool in this match, but also Liverpool for the entire league season!"

……

Commentators from all over the world went wild, venting their emotions with all sorts of flowery language.

Online, news about Bruno's goal instantly flooded social media.

"Bruno! Awesome!"

"Holy crap! Mr. Killer!!"

"That goal was absolutely brilliant!"

"The Premier League title is about to be decided!"

"Bruno! Bruno! That's amazing! That's the magic of football! You never know what will happen until the very last second!"

"Didn't the Liverpool commentator just say that God belongs to Liverpool tonight? But Bruno told the whole world: No, I am God!"

Back at Anfield, Bruno, who had just taken an unconventional shot, fell to the ground. Before he could get up, Greenwood screamed and pinned him to the ground.

Then, Rashford, Gundogan, Kante, Diallo, Harry Kane, Maguire, Van Dijk... and more Manchester United players rushed up excitedly, piling on top of them.

I couldn't make out what they were shouting; it might have made sense, or it might not, but none of that mattered.

Importantly, they took the lead against Liverpool at the 93rd minute and 41st second of the match.

The club's 19th Premier League title is within reach!

After a brief silence, the stands at Anfield erupted in a deafening chorus of boos and curses. The 50,000 home fans were furious at Manchester United's unrestrained celebrations on their turf, unleashing a deafening barrage of boos and curses at their rivals.

Some people even angrily threw objects they were holding, such as coins or beverage bottles, at the area where the Manchester United players were celebrating, as if these objects could kill those despicable Manchester United players.

Unfortunately, these actions had no effect; instead, they highlighted their despair and impotent rage!
………………

The moment the ball flew into the goal, Mourinho on the sidelines leaped up from the ground, spread his arms, and rushed towards Bruno. He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to rush onto the field and join the celebration party.

Behind him followed a number of Manchester United substitutes. They ran past the Manchester United coaching and substitute benches, thundering past like a herd of wild horses galloping across the African savanna.

Klopp turned away in disappointment and anguish, refusing to look at the ecstatic Manchester United substitutes or Mourinho. Facing his players, stunned by the sudden and devastating blow, he closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight.

Since the start of this season, Liverpool has been closely chasing Manchester United, but has yet to catch up. This has left Liverpool players exhausted, but at least they haven't completely fallen behind and have maintained a glimmer of hope in catching up with Manchester United.

But tonight, at Anfield Stadium, in a match that held all the hopes of Liverpool's players and fans, they were defeated by their arch-rivals, and all the hard work of almost a season went down the drain. That feeling of despair is truly awful.

………………

Andy Gray finally calmed down a little from his excitement, but he still couldn't hide his excitement.

"This wasn't a great opportunity to begin with, but Bruno turned it into a goal! It's really hard to imagine how such a slender Portuguese man could possess such intense energy!"

"In the final seconds of the game, it was his valiant chase in front of the goal that helped Manchester United score! If God was on Liverpool's side tonight, Bruno showed the world that he wanted to be Manchester United's God!"

Bruno was pulled up from the ground by his teammates. Mourinho pushed through the crowd, squeezed in, and gave Bruno a big hug. He hissed through gritted teeth in Bruno's ear, "Well done, kid! You saved my life!"

No one thought he was exaggerating. In the final moments of the game, many people's hearts were about to stop beating.

Bruno felt like he was about to die. First, he was pinned down by ten teammates, and then Mourinho's iron-like arms were choking him so badly he could barely breathe. Fortunately, Mourinho quickly released his strong arms, preventing Bruno from becoming the first unfortunate player in professional football history to be strangled to death by his manager while celebrating a goal.

………………

While Manchester United celebrated the goal wildly, even falling into a frenzy, Liverpool players slumped to the ground in despair.

After Alison missed his target, he didn't get up again. He lay on the ground, put his hands on his forehead, and looked up at the night sky, panting heavily.

The other Liverpool players weren't much better off. Some covered their faces with their hands, some were stunned, and some were tearing their hair in disbelief that it had actually happened!

The commentator from the local Liverpool TV station, who had been saying "God is Liverpool tonight," fell silent at this moment.

He really didn't know what to say. God is from Liverpool, so what is Bruno? Is he someone even more awesome than God?
That's absolutely terrible.

But he can't stay silent forever, can he? As a commentator, especially a radio commentator, he is facing an audience who can't see the images and can only hear the sounds.

If he remained silent, the listeners would surely assume that their radios were broken or that there was a problem with the signal.

If he doesn't speak, the audience has no way of knowing what actually happened on site.

So he could only compose himself and continue his work: "...Bruno scored the crucial goal for Manchester United at 93 minutes and 41 seconds. Manchester United are now in the lead, and Liverpool have very little time left..."

He spoke listlessly, and Liverpool fans listening on the radio felt as if they had lost their parents.

It's unbelievable! With only nineteen seconds left in the game, Liverpool were down!

At this moment, Liverpool fans listening to their radios must have been filled with regret for not watching the televised broadcast. They really wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of goal had shattered Liverpool's championship hopes!
