Chapter 363 Masterful Performance

The attack that Bruno blocked just now was only one of the few shining performances of Manchester United during this period. More often than not, Manchester United could only be suppressed by the powerful Manchester City in their own half, relying on their long legs to organize the attack. Only Ibrahimovic was left in front, and even Rashford and Rooney had to return to defense.

Although pride makes Manchester United players not want to set up a bus when facing their rivals in the same city, but at this moment they are forced by the situation and must defend.

Compared to losing to a rival in the same city at home, getting three points is not unacceptable.

Manchester City launched a fierce offensive into the hinterland of Manchester United amid the continuous cheers of the fans.

Just looking at the offense during this period, you will feel that it is only a matter of time before Manchester City wins this game, because Manchester United has no chance to fight back under their attack. All they can do is defend, defend, and defend.

Mourinho's team is indeed good at defense, but it only took two months for him to really start to train Manchester United's defense. Even though Manchester United is the only team in the Premier League that has not conceded a goal, so Fans do not have full confidence in Manchester United's defense.

Not to mention the fans' doubts, even the Manchester United players themselves were doubting whether they could hold on like this.

………………

Manchester City finally equalized the score before the end of the first half.

In the 41st minute, they organized a successful attack, but Sterling was still firmly restrained by Bruno.

But this time Sterling did not confront Bruno head-on. He attracted Bruno's attention and quickly transferred the football to David Silva in the middle.

David Silva was passing the football to De Bruyne, and De Bruyne became Manchester City's main offensive point, while Sterling became a feint.

This adjustment caught Manchester United off guard. Originally watching Sterling take the ball, everyone thought that Sterling's side would become the main direction of the team's offense. Unexpectedly, the football was suddenly moved to Manchester United's right wing and Manchester City's left wing.

Kolarov came in from behind, De Bruyne pushed a through ball, Kolarov broke into the penalty area, and then made a cross!

Iheanacho responded with a header in the penalty area. De Bruyne took the lead and volleyed the ball past Van Dijk's defense. He shot a low shot from the edge of the penalty area into the lower left corner of the net.

De Gea made a save, and the ball hit him on the arm, hit the post, and then passed through the gap between him and the near post.

………………

"The ball is in!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!! Hooray! Manchester City! Hooray! Kevin De Bruyne! He equalized the score for the team!"

"Man City equalized the score! The ball came very timely! Manchester City regained the initiative and advantage! Both sides of the game are back on the same starting line! Manchester City now has great hope of defeating their opponents! Because they equalized the score!"

"This will be a very heavy blow for Manchester United!"

"Man City! Forward! Manchester City!! You are invincible!!"

The commentators who supported Manchester United did not hide their disappointment and displeasure in the commentary: "Oh! Manchester City scored! This goal was scored... What a pity! De Gea even pounced on the ball, but it was a pity that he missed it! "

"Kolarov... mark him, don't let him pass the ball... De Bruyne! De Bruyne! Oops! Oops! The ball is in... De Bruyne equalizes the score for Manchester City! Manchester United's lead The advantage is lost..."

……

In the commentary box, after Pedbrune passed Van Dijk and hit the football in, the commentators showed several different postures.

The commentator supporting Manchester City stood up from his seat with his hands raised, while the commentator supporting Manchester United lay on the commentary table with his head in his hands.

The neutral commentators were relatively calm, but they all applauded Manchester City's goal because it would make the game better to watch.

As a neutral, of course I don’t want to see a situation where one company dominates a game. How many people like a one-sided game?

………………

In the visiting team stands at Old Trafford, Manchester City fans cheered: "Manchester City! Manchester City!! Manchester City!!!"

Unlike the excited Manchester City fans, many Manchester United fans held their heads in their hands and looked frustrated.

What they were worried about finally became a reality. Although they had worried before, when this moment really came, everyone still couldn't accept it for a while.

Neutral fans were amazed: "Manchester City is really powerful! This three-pass and two-down pass actually penetrated Manchester United's defense..."

"Bruno can guard Sterling, but he can't guard the entire Manchester City team. I think Bruno is almost alone against Manchester City!"

"If this Manchester United is the same Manchester United during the Ferguson era, there is no suspense in this game. Bruno's team will definitely win!"

Everyone has confidence in Bruno, but not enough confidence in the current Manchester United.

The Manchester City players were celebrating the goal, and De Bruyne was surrounded by everyone, patted and beaten.

On the other side, Bruno is encouraging everyone: "It's just a goal! We are still tied with them! We are not behind, there is nothing to worry about! The key now is that we must be steady. There are only a few minutes left before the end of the first half. We must not lose any more points during this period no matter what!”

He kept clapping his hands and shouting loudly to his teammates to calm everyone's restless hearts because of losing the ball.

………………

"This is Guardiola's team! This is Guardiola's football!! How beautiful! How exciting! The continuous passing of the ball made Manchester United's players unable to find their way at all, and it was only natural that they were eventually torn apart from the defense!" Support! The commentators from Manchester City and Guardiola were still shouting excitedly.

<divclass="contentadv">Manchester City obviously intends to take advantage of the excitement of just scoring a goal to strive for another victory and enter the halftime break with a lead. Then the second half will be their world.

As soon as Manchester United kicked off the ball, they pressed the ball-carrying player of Manchester United. No matter where they were, as long as they got the ball, at least two Manchester City players would rush to grab it.

There were no less than three people around Bruno.

However, Bruno's ball control ability has also been fully reflected in this environment.

Iheanacho came up to grab him, and he pulled the football in front of him.

Sterling rushed up from behind again, and he immediately leaned back against Sterling with the football under his feet. The short Sterling has short legs. Even if he straightens his legs in this situation, he cannot reach the football.

But that's not important, their main role is to entangle Bruno. As long as Bruno can be distracted, there will be a chance to steal the ball.

The third person is Fernandinho. He did not hesitate to lose his position and rush to Manchester United's half, just to take down Bruno in one fell swoop, and then launch a counterattack on the spot.

Losing the ball from the midfielder is fatal and is impossible to guard against!

………………

Fernandinho saw Bruno turning to look at Iheanacho, with his hand still holding Sterling behind him, and knew that his attention had been attracted by his teammates. He did not see him. This was absolutely incredible. Good opportunity, so he approached from the side, suddenly rushed forward and stole the ball!

Unexpectedly, Bruno suddenly jumped up, stepped on the football with his left foot and tapped the football, then fell down and stepped on the ground for support. At the same time, he turned around and stepped on with his right foot, and then pulled the football away from the circle of three people. Pulled out!

After completing his turn, Bruno stepped forward with the ball and got rid of the three men from Manchester City who were chasing him!

This escape made the entire Old Trafford stadium cheer, and commentators from various countries shouted repeatedly.

"Wonderful!"

"Pretty!"

"Incredible!"

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

Even Lineker couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful escape! Bruno showed his foot skills to Manchester City players who are good at foot skills, and he is not inferior at all!"

The French commentator couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zi Dan!!"

They only saw shots like this often when Zidane had not retired. Before Zidane retired, he could always give them such masterful performances.

This is a Marseille slalom, but it is not a standard Marseille slalom. It is a Marseille slalom that is combined with the actual situation at the time. Bruno uses this technique as he pleases. It is obvious that he has begun to step into the threshold of a master.

………………

After taking the football out of the encirclement, Bruno moved forward.

David Silva and De Bruyne were waiting for him in front, while Fernandinho was chasing after him.

Faced with this situation, Bruno looked up and looked around, but there was no good passing point.

It had just kicked off, and Manchester City's formation had not dispersed yet. Manchester United's players had just entered the opponent's half, and everyone was huddled in the middle.

It seems that he will continue to control the ball by himself.

It's another one-on-three situation, what should I do?

Bruno started pedaling his bicycle five meters away from David Silva. His left foot went around the football and his right foot also went around the football, but neither of them touched the football.

It was a simple feint, and David Silva didn't fall for it.

Bruno didn't expect such a simple two moves to completely shake the opponent away. His left foot once again passed over the football.

Generally speaking, he should use the outer instep of his right foot to move the football to the right. Of course, he may not touch anything and continue to move around. But as long as he touches the football, there is a 95% chance of moving the ball to the outside.

But Bruno didn't. His right foot slammed the football to the left from the outside!

David Silva was deceived by his conventional thinking. He didn't expect that Bruno didn't move the ball to the outside, but smashed the ball in the opposite direction. He didn't react for a while and was dunked behind him by Bruno.

Bruno was staring at David Silva's side from the beginning, because De Bruyne was on the other side. Even if he passed the football and passed David Silva, he could not get past De Bruyne.

This reverse smash was very beautiful. He got rid of David Silva and continued to rush forward with the ball.
