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

Chapter 969 Super World Wave

As if in response to him, the stands of the new Wembley Stadium rang out with the singing of Manchester United fans. They used the singing to tell their players that the fans were not knocked down, so they were not allowed to fall down either.

Hearing the song, Bruno waved to the stands where Manchester United fans were.

After the two sides changed sides in the second half, Liverpool's goal was just below the stands where Manchester United fans were. Manchester United, which was besieging Liverpool's goal, was basically playing under the noses of Manchester United's most hardcore fans.

Bruno's action also drew cheers from countless fans in the stands.

After Manchester United missed the best chance, the fans did not give up, sigh, or think that they were screwed. Instead, they burst out with greater strength and cheered for the team.

The fans' actions also affected the players. The Manchester United players, who were a little depressed before, gradually raised their heads and straightened their backs during the singing.

The game hasn't ended yet and the fans haven't given up, so why should we give up?

………………

When the game restarted, Luke Shaw's corner kick accurately found Van Dijk in the penalty area, but Van Dijk's header was slightly higher.

Despite this, applause immediately broke out from the stands.

The applause turned into cheers, and the cheers turned into songs. Manchester United fans tirelessly made various noises to build momentum for the team, and the entire new Wembley Stadium was like a boiling pot.

In this momentum, even Alisson felt the pressure. He looked back at the stands behind him and saw a wall of red that was constantly jumping.

He grinned.

Liverpool fans are also known for their fanaticism, but at this moment, he feels that they are still slightly inferior to Manchester United fans.

Playing in such an environment is a huge pressure for any team.

The fourth official held up the injury time sign on the sidelines, and only then did everyone realize that the game had reached the last minute of regular time.

Four minutes of injury time passed and Manchester United fans booed. Obviously they hoped that the injury time could be longer. In four minutes, it would be almost impossible for Manchester United to score two goals in a row to achieve a reversal.

Although there were not many Liverpool fans at the scene, everyone was booing the injury time in their hearts - they felt that four minutes of injury time was too long.

"Manchester United doesn't have much time left..." He Wei frowned, "and Liverpool is only four minutes away from winning their ninth English League Cup title in team history!"

He has reduced his long speeches and tried to be concise as possible because the pace of games on the court is very fast now. A lot of things can happen in the time it takes him to say a word. What if there is a very critical moment among them?
………………

As the game entered injury time, it was as if a switch was turned on and Manchester United's attack became simpler and more direct.

When Van Dijk got the ball in the center circle, he did not pass the ball to Bellingham, nor did he look for Bruno. Instead, he made a long pass towards Liverpool's penalty area.

Another central defender, Maguire, was already lurking in the penalty area, ready to compete for the header.

But Liverpool saw through Manchester United's obvious offensive intention. Next to Maguire, Matip jumped high and kicked the flying football out before Maguire!
The football flew out of the penalty area and towards the midfield.

At this moment, Bruno appeared where the football landed. He jumped lightly and used his chest to take the football flying in the air.

Just now when Van Dijk made a long pass to Maguire, Bruno did the opposite and did not rush into the penalty area. Instead, he ran back and went far outside the penalty area. Now he is exactly where the football will land.

As the football was being absorbed by Bruno's chest and was falling, Bruno stepped back a little and then swung his right foot.

At this time, there was no Liverpool player around him. They were all pressed into the penalty area by the Manchester United players who were advancing into the penalty area, and they had no time to rush out.

Bruno actually had time to adjust, but he chose not to do so. When the ball fell to a suitable height, Bruno's straightened right foot just cut the ball.

The movement was not large, and the force used when kicking the ball did not seem to be great, but the speed at which the ball flew out was extremely fast!
………………

"Bruno...direct long shot?!" He Wei exclaimed.

Bruno's kick was estimated to be about thirty meters away from the goal. There was no one around him, so he could have adjusted himself before dealing with the situation, but he chose to shoot directly!
How can we guarantee the accuracy of a direct shot from such a long distance? If the ball flies directly out of the baseline, wouldn't it be a waste of an offensive opportunity and damage the team's morale?
So was Bruno's action due to his impatience?

The football shot by Bruno flew over the heads of people in the penalty area and looked like it would fly directly out of the bottom line.

But just above the penalty area, the football suddenly turned in an exaggerated and obvious arc and flew towards the back corner!

In the air, the strongly spinning football seemed to tear the air apart!

There was a huge exclamation from the stands, and amid the exclamation, Alisson jumped into the air and pounced over!
This was Bruno's first shot of the game and the first time Alisson faced him head-on!
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused in the air. The football and Alisson were slowly approaching each other, and then passed each other!

As the ball passed between Alisson's fingertips, everything returned to normal, time, air and sound.

The football brushed past Alisson's fingertips and continued to fly forward, diving into the net!

………………

When Bruno kicked the ball, it flew straight to the bottom line. Alisson did not rush out immediately when he saw it. He thought that Bruno's hasty kick would most likely miss the target.

This was not just his idea. In fact, many people had this idea after Bruno kicked the ball out.

But when the ball flew into the penalty area, Alisson suddenly realized that something was wrong. The ball was spinning very violently, which made Alisson realize that Bruno's kick was not simply off target, so he quickly moved sideways, jumped into the air, and stretched out his arms to save the ball.

It's a pity that he was too late.

Although he was only a fingernail late, it was still too late and he ultimately failed to touch the football.

Alisson, who fell from the air, turned his head to look at the football. He clearly saw the football flying into the goal he was guarding.

Falk!

After landing, Alisson punched the ground hard and lay there without getting up.

It was an impeccable world-class shot, but he still felt unhappy with his own carelessness in underestimating the opponent.

………………

"Bruno! Bruno--!!!" Gary Lineker shouted loudly as the football flew into the goal, "Incredible goal! Great! Incredible! Bruno helped Manchester United equalize the score!!"

"Bruno's world wave! Ahhhh!!" He Wei also said excitedly, "Flawless! The arc is amazing! It's like a rainbow across the sky above the new Wembley Stadium! It's breathtakingly beautiful!"

The commentator of Liverpool's local TV station was stunned for a second before he hurriedly comforted Liverpool fans: "It's okay, it's okay! No matter how beautiful this goal is, Manchester United has only equalized the score. If they play overtime, Liverpool has the physical advantage and the victory will still belong to Liverpool!"

Bruno also knew this after scoring the goal, so even though he scored a very, very beautiful world wave, he had no intention of celebrating at all. Instead, he called on his teammates to quickly bring the ball over and kick off.

When the football flew into the goal, Harry Kane raised his arms and cheered for the goal, while Greenwood ducked into the goal, picked up the football, turned and ran towards the center circle.

The score is tied, and now Manchester United only needs to score one more goal to eliminate Liverpool.

Although they didn't have much time left and their hope of scoring another goal was not great, just like before Bruno scored, who thought they had a good chance of equalizing the score?

There is nothing in this world that is 100% successful. If you don’t try, you will never succeed.

In addition, Bruno's goal was so beautiful that it greatly boosted the morale of the Manchester United players. There was a fire burning in the hearts of every Manchester United player, pushing them to run forward, fearless, and believing that they could do everything.

………………

Greenwood, who was running back with the football, met Bruno on the road. He put his arm around Bruno's shoulders and ran back with him side by side.

Bruno proved to his teammates with his actions that the game is not over yet and everything is possible!
As the Manchester United players ran back, Alisson also got up from the ground.

Captain Henderson was clapping his hands to encourage his teammates: "Don't be discouraged! We still have the advantage! There are only three minutes left. If we hold on, we will be the winners!"

He turned around and saw that Alisson was a little depressed, so he went over and patted Alisson on the back, encouraging him: "Cheer up, you are our guardian angel!"

Alisson was somewhat moved when he heard this. He pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, saying through gritted teeth: "I won't let them score again!!"

Whether it is the bet between Salah and Bruno or who wins the championship, he can't lose the ball again.

One minute of injury time has passed, and there are three minutes of injury time left. As long as the Liverpool team works hard and prevents Manchester United from scoring any more goals, the game will enter overtime.

The physical fitness of Liverpool players is obviously stronger than that of Manchester United. After all, Manchester United has played 2022 games since entering 15, while Liverpool has only played 11 games.

Therefore, relying on their physical advantage, it was not difficult for Liverpool to defeat Manchester United in overtime.
