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

Chapter 919 Eat Candy
Bruno ran all the way out of the stadium and slid to his knees under the fans' stands on the sidelines.

He himself did not expect that Everton's defensive players would make such a mistake. Perhaps Gordon rushed too hard and bumped into Alan, catching Everton's Brazilian midfielder off guard and rushing to clear the ball, so he kicked the ball to Bruno.

In fact, if Alan had not cleared the ball, Bruno would have caught up with the ball first, which would still be very dangerous.

Of course, Alan's best option was to protect the ball and then pass it to the goalkeeper. But this is just an afterthought. The situation on the field was changing rapidly at that time, and it is understandable that Alan cleared the ball at the first time. It's a pity that this mistake will definitely bring him overwhelming accusations.

This is professional football!
Bruno has no ability to care about others, he can only take care of himself.

As a player, his greatest work ethic is to do his best to help his team win.

………………

In Coleman's absence, Digne served as Everton's on-field captain and also served as the team's left back.

After conceding the first goal, Digne kept calling on his teammates, constantly boosting the morale of the players on the field, especially Alan who made a mistake, and tried to stabilize the defensive order again. This made the game quickly return to the rhythm of the first twenty minutes.

Everton pressed forward and Manchester United struggled to pass the ball and launched an effective attack.

The only difference was that the goal earned by taking advantage of Alan's defensive mistake made Manchester United play more patiently.

Manchester United has experienced many brutal battles and is no longer a rookie. Now with a ball in hand, it would be strange if they don't know how to keep their footing and let Everton press forward.

Mourinho was full of surprises, Bruno's goal was definitely beyond his expectations. It can even be said that this goal was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was reasonable.

In any football match, player mistakes are inevitable. Bruno was able to seize Alan's mistake and score a goal, which fully demonstrated his fighting spirit and tenacity, as well as his outstanding personal ability.

This is the role of stars at critical moments!

In this goal, Bruno's importance to Manchester United was fully demonstrated.

After scoring the goal, Mourinho kept signaling the team to stay calm, especially to start paying attention to defense and let Everton press forward.

"We will only have a chance if we let Everton take the initiative to attack," Mourinho said excitedly.

And Bruno's goal was very crucial.

To be conservative, if Everton doesn't dare to press forward, Manchester United doesn't mind maintaining this score until the end.

………………

Bruno's goal had a great impact on Everton players, especially since this Everton team was not a very mature one. After all, Benítez had only taken over the team for three months.

Soon after the game restarted, the field changed again. Everton made a mistake in passing the ball, Doucoure made a long pass to the front court, trying to find Rondon, but unexpectedly Van Dijk went around the defense and headed the ball back to the midfield.

Kante quickly dribbled the ball across the center line and passed it to Bellingham.

Bellingham made a long diagonal pass and moved the ball to the left.

Bruno, who had always been active in the middle, suddenly came to the left.

Another one-on-one opportunity created by a counterattack.

"Manchester United made a long diagonal pass to the left."

"Bruno gets the ball on the left... facing Godfrey's defense..."

……

When Bruno stopped the ball, Godfrey was already approaching him.

The English defender was about the same height as him but much wider, and he pounced on him murderously.

Bruno used his body to block Godfrey and dribbled the ball towards the baseline.

Godfrey dared not relax his guard against Bruno, and kept following him closely. He was secretly impressed in his heart that this Portuguese man did not look strong, but his physical confrontation ability was not weak.

At least it wasn't like what he had imagined, where he could be squeezed away with just a little effort.

Godfrey desperately squeezed Bruno with his shoulder and rushed to the baseline with him, hoping to steal the ball. But Bruno suddenly stopped, pulled the ball back from behind, and turned around to catch up.

………………

At the same time, Bruno did not dare to be careless at all and still chose to use his body to block between Godfrey and the ball.

This made the young Everton right-back feel very awkward, as he had no chance to grab the ball unless he committed a direct foul.

But committing a foul in this area and giving Manchester United a free kick is still very threatening.

After all, Bruno's free kick is definitely one of the most threatening weapons in world football today.

Therefore, on the one hand, Godfrey had a secret pulling action on his hands, and on the other hand, he continued to entangle Bruno at the first opportunity, not giving him any chance.

It can be said that as long as Bruno showed the slightest flaw at this time, Godfrey would strike without hesitation.

While Godfrey was surprised at Bruno's dribbling ability, Bruno was equally surprised at the defensive ability of Everton's defenders.

Too clingy!

He looks strong, but his reaction and flexibility are not slow at all, and his defensive awareness is also very good, which makes it difficult for Bruno to gain any advantage from Godfrey.

Just now he wanted to make a cross from the bottom, but was blocked by Godfrey. He suddenly stopped and turned back, but Godfrey followed him immediately and did not give him a chance to cut inside.

Bruno could imagine that even if he kicked the ball in, the quality would not be high and it might even hit Godfrey.

At this time, it would be better if Rashford could catch up.

Although the whole dribbling process sounds long, it actually happened in an instant. When Bruno pulled the ball back, Rashford had not crossed the center line yet, and Townsend was blocking between the two of them, so he couldn't pass the ball back.

How to do?
………………Bruno didn’t have enough time to think about this problem.

He wanted to stop suddenly again, turn around and rush to the baseline again. But he had already tried it once before, would Godfrey fall for it this time?

At this moment, Bruno suddenly spotted a gap in Godfrey's defense.

Crotch!

In fact, it is not difficult to dribble past the defense. The closer the defender is, the easier it is to dribble past the defense. This is a common understanding.

Godfrey was now one body length behind Bruno, but he held his left hand tightly, and the two were very close.

Bruno acted decisively and pretended to speed up to get rid of the opponent, making Godfrey think he was going to pass the ball. The Everton defender was so scared that he sped up and caught up with him.

But as soon as Bruno accelerated, he stopped abruptly, stepped on the ball with his left foot and pushed it behind him, turned from the outside, and at the same time broke free from Godfrey's entanglement with his left hand.

The whole process happened in an instant. When Godfrey caught up, he suddenly realized that Bruno was going to pass through his crotch. He subconsciously bent his legs and no longer cared about Bruno's hand. He let Bruno break free and turn away, but the ball still passed through his crotch.

Bruno quickly turned and chased after him.

"There was a one-on-one fight on the left wing."

"Bruno stops and pulls back, starts..."

"Through the crotch...pass the opponent!"

"Bruno's over there!"

……

………………

After he passed Godfrey, the entire Old Trafford stadium was in an uproar. No one expected that Bruno would suddenly pass the ball like this.

Because of that defeat, Godfrey no longer had any chance of catching up with Bruno.

After Bruno caught up with the ball, he had already come to the left side of the penalty area, facing Mina who had already returned to defense.

One on one again!

Bruno suddenly accelerated, made a fake pendulum move, dribbled past Mina, rushed sideways into the penalty area, and shot a curved ball with his right foot!

"Exceptionally beautiful!"

"Bruno cuts inside and shoots directly!"

“The ball goes in!!!”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"

"The 38th minute, the 38th minute! Bruno passed two Everton defenders in a row and shot a right-footed arc ball from the left side of the penalty area into the upper right corner!"

"This is an absolute blind spot!"

"Everton goalkeeper Pickford reacted, but Bruno's shot was so sharp and tricky that he had no way to stop it from scoring!"

“A very wonderful personal performance!”

……

………………

After Bruno scored the goal, all 100,000 home fans in the stadium shouted his name.

Bruno ran all the way out of the stadium and once again rushed in front of the live camera on the sidelines, and then he was quickly hugged by his teammates.

"beautiful!"

"awesome!"

"Oh my God, how did you do that?"

"Crotch pass, oh my god!"

……

Manchester United players were also extremely excited and hugged Bruno one by one.

In today's game, Manchester United's players generally felt bad. The sluggish performance in the previous 25 minutes was a reflection of their true condition.

Under such circumstances, some players were mentally prepared to be tied by their opponents or even lose, but they did not expect Bruno to score two goals almost on his own and almost secure the victory.

This victory, which seemed like something lost and then regained, made them particularly excited.

But Bruno was not overwhelmed by the joy of scoring and taking the lead.

"Don't be careless, Everton is not an easy opponent. Be careful and don't give the opponent any chances!" Bruno shouted loudly, reminding his teammates that this was his duty as the team captain.

After hearing his shout, his teammates also shouted in response.

After the famous coach Benítez took over Everton, it is well known that the Toffees are in good shape in the new season. Coupled with the experience in the first twenty minutes of the game, Manchester United players naturally dare not take it lightly.

"Everyone." Bruno put one hand on a teammate's shoulder and motioned all the teammates to gather around.

"Come on!" everyone shouted in unison.
