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

Chapter 980 Winner

When the game was over, Bruno and his teammates celebrated their victory. At the same time, there was a burst of boos from Manchester City fans in the stands. It was not known whether the boos were directed at Manchester City, who lost the game, or Manchester United, who won the game and celebrated on their own turf.

However, Bruno didn't celebrate for long before he was dragged to the background board to be interviewed by reporters. As a key figure in this game, it was normal for him to enjoy such treatment.

Although the media scores have not yet come out, I believe everyone thinks that Bruno's election as the best player of the game is a foregone conclusion.

Reporters who support Manchester United will basically praise Bruno's performance before asking questions, and the questions they ask are all kind of hello, hello, and everyone is welcome, so it is easy to answer.

But it is impossible that there are only reporters supporting Manchester United at the scene. There are also many reporters supporting Manchester City, and their questions are not so friendly. From the beginning, their questions are full of aggressiveness, which makes everyone look sideways.

A reporter from Manchester City's mouthpiece, The Daily Telegraph, asked directly: "Do you think that Manchester United's penalty was an undue benefit from your diving?"

Such a question immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of reporters who supported Manchester United, and they all glared at each other.

However, the reporter from the Daily Telegraph didn't care about other people's eyes. He just stared at Bruno, as if he wanted to see through Bruno.

………………

Bruno did not choose to evade such a provocative question, but said firmly: "I don't think this is an unjust enrichment. The opponent's player hit me in the penalty area, I fell to the ground and lost the ball. According to the rules, this is a penalty. If you think this is not a penalty, you can appeal to the referee department, or directly appeal to the FIFA Arbitration Court. It's no problem, I will listen to the official opinion anyway. Oliver is the official representative now."

Bruno's answer surprised everyone, and the reporters who supported Manchester United cheered secretly. Bruno used unreasonableness to deal with the unreasonableness of Manchester City's people, which was really a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine.

The reporter from the Daily Telegraph rolled his eyes in his heart after being surprised. Who the hell would appeal to the FIFA Arbitration Court for such a penalty?

What's more, if an appeal is really made, the people in the arbitration court will definitely think that Manchester City’s people are crazy!

………………

Seeing the frustration of the Daily Telegraph reporter, another Manchester Evening News reporter stepped forward and asked: "But were you too focused on falling during the game rather than the game itself..."

This is a subtle criticism that Bruno's falls were all premeditated fakes and performances.

The Manchester Evening News is an interesting media outlet. It was once considered the mouthpiece of Manchester United, especially in the days before Manchester City rose to prominence. However, as Manchester City rose to prominence in the Middle East oil capital, the Manchester Evening News gradually began to discredit Manchester United and became the mouthpiece of Manchester City.

After hearing the question from the Manchester Evening News reporter, Bruno was taken aback at first, with a look of surprise on his face, and then asked back: "Do you really think so?"

After the other reporter nodded, Bruno spread his hands and smiled: "Okay. I didn't pay attention to the game itself and completed two goals and one assist? If I paid attention to the game itself, would Manchester City still have a chance?"

As soon as Bruno said this, the reporters who supported Manchester United all laughed out loud, as if they were laughing at the other reporter for asking such an idiotic question. I wonder if he was also an idiot.

Although Bruno did not laugh out loud to add insult to injury, he still kept smiling as he looked at the other person after he said this.

However, in the eyes of those reporters who support Manchester City, Bruno's gentlemanly smile is much more hateful than the loud laughter of other reporters, because they firmly believe that they see naked sarcasm in it!
………………

The game ended at around 6:30 p.m. local time in Manchester, and the nightlife was just beginning.

Unlike the dull Germans whose nightlife is relatively monotonous, the British nightlife is very rich and people like to do many activities. Football is undoubtedly a sport that can drive people crazy.

After Manchester United defeated Manchester City 3:2 away, if you were in Manchester United at that time, you would hear car horns and roars coming from the streets. These were all excited Manchester United fans venting their emotions.

Although many people say that there are more Manchester City fans in Manchester, from a realistic point of view, this statement is questionable.

Of course, perhaps this statement was in the past. However, with the gradual rise of Manchester United in the Ferguson era, until it dominated the Premier League, and especially in the Mourinho era, this situation has changed dramatically.

After all, victory and championship are very likely to change some people's positions!

Especially since this is a long process!
You know, it has been 30 years since Ferguson led Manchester United to win the first league title in the Premier League era. This is enough time for the baby who was still learning to speak at the time to grow into the pillar of a family!
Moreover, it was not easy for Manchester United to win this game, as they fell behind twice on the field.

But now, the anger that had been pent up in their hearts for almost the entire audience was finally released!
And the one who brought the team back to the top was still the man they trusted the most!
In fact, many die-hard Manchester United fans have already regarded Bruno as their god!

………………

Just after the Manchester derby ended, the website of Manchester United's real mouthpiece, The Manchester Guardian, published an article reporting on the game.

In the comments section below this article, almost all of them are praising and complimenting Bruno. "...Bruno's performance is really great! He makes me tremble all over!"

"Hey, man upstairs, did you climax? Haha! Just kidding. But I felt the same way! When I saw Bruno shoot the ball into Ederson's goal, I felt better than having sex with my wife!"

"Amazing Captain! He is like Captain America from the movie come to life! He really knows some amazing magic!"

"Bruno is absolutely the greatest player in the history of football!"

"I used to think that Ronaldo was the most successful player in Manchester United's history, but now I think Bruno is better than him!"

……

The winner takes it all!
The Premier League standings at this time clearly demonstrate this point.

First place: Manchester United, with 28 wins and 23 draws in 5 games, 74 points;
第二名曼城，28轮20胜3平5负，积63分；
第三名利物浦，27轮18胜6平3负，积60分；
第四名切尔西，26轮15胜8平3负，积53分；
……

With a double-digit advantage and only ten rounds left in the Premier League, it will be difficult for either Manchester City or Liverpool, which has recently recovered its form, to truly shake Manchester United's lead.

………………

After the game with Manchester City, Manchester United players quickly took the team bus back to the Carrington training base, and then Mourinho announced that the team would be disbanded on the spot and go home to rest.

After all, it is a derby in the same city. Although it is an away game, there is no need for a normal away game journey.

Mourinho also announced that all players who participated in this game do not need to come to the training base for training all day tomorrow and can rest at home.

This drew cheers from many people. In this busy schedule, such rest time is very rare.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that Manchester United's next game is not until six days later.

With almost a week between games, Mourinho can give his players a full day of rest.

Immediately, the players dispersed and drove away, but most of the vehicles, after leaving the Carrington training base, turned and headed for nightclubs in downtown Manchester.

Such cases were relatively rare when Bruno first came to Manchester United. After all, Mourinho had just arrived at the team and was very strict about discipline. Once such a situation was discovered, whether it was discovered by Mourinho himself or exposed by the media, the players involved would be severely punished.

However, as time passed, six years later, the young boys back then have grown into experienced people. They have naturally become bolder, and more and more people have started to go to nightclubs to hang out.

Although it was only seven o'clock in the evening, which was still quite early, Bruno did not drive to the nightclub like most Manchester United players, but drove home.

For Bruno, who is a total otaku, his only home is the training base. His life between these two places is not boring at all. Instead, it makes him feel fulfilled and warm.

It is better to go home and spend time with your wife and children than to go to a nightclub and waste your energy.

………………

Bruno naturally knew the situation of some of his teammates, but he knew that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so he had no intention of reporting to Mourinho. This was not what a qualified captain should do.

Bruno's general approach is to let the player do whatever he wants as long as it doesn't affect training and games.

After all, we are all adults and everyone has his or her own lifestyle.

However, once he finds that someone is really going too far and even affecting his training and game condition, then sorry, don't even think about playing in the game. Go home and reflect and get back into good shape first.

Of course, this is without Mourinho noticing.

If Mourinho finds out, he will naturally handle it himself. Whether it is a suspension or a fine, Bruno will support Mourinho's decision.

In general, with the tacit cooperation between Mourinho and Bruno, Manchester United has sailed very steadily in the past few seasons and won countless championships and honors.
