Chapter 410: Deliberately planting flowers but not blooming

The linesman stepped back and signaled Bruno to kick off. Bruno took a run and kicked the football towards the goal.

Bruno originally planned to penetrate into the penalty area, then jump high during the sprint and rush to the top.

But when he was about to do this, he saw that the flight path and landing point of the football were not very good. If he rushed in, he might not be able to hit anything, so he did not rush in, but stepped back.

Sure enough, the football was not hit by any Manchester United player, but Lovren was asked to push it out. Bruno looked up and watched the football flying high above his head, turned around and saw Lallana receiving it. ball!

He knew something was wrong!

The corner kick had just been taken, and our defense was empty. The center backs were all up, and there was almost no one behind. This was a great opportunity for Liverpool to counterattack quickly. They are best at this!

Over there, Bruno completed a shot that made the entire Old Trafford cheer. How could the Liverpool players here be lonely?

Lallana received the ball from Lovren, turned around and led forward.

Bruno knew there was a hole in the defense and asked the Liverpool players to catch it, so he ran back while shouting Kante's name: "N'Golo!"

He doesn't need to say what he wants him to do, Kanter knows it himself. Because when Bruno shouted this, he had already rushed towards Lallana!

………………

"This is Liverpool's quick counterattack! They are the best at this!" the commentators shouted excitedly.

The Liverpool fans in front of the TV and in the stands were as excited as the commentator.

Manchester United fans also made a loud noise.

Kante, who quickly pounced on Lallana, made a flying tackle when approaching Lallana.

He knew that the team's defense was very empty at the moment, and he felt that instead of letting his opponent pass like this, it was better to knock him to the ground now and keep him here forever.

A foul here is nothing more than a yellow card, but it's better than letting the opponent score a goal, right?

But he will think so, and the opponent will think so too, knowing that defensive players in this position will choose to foul.

So Lallana has always been wary of Kanter's flying tackle. When he saw him coming, he knocked the football forward, then jumped high to avoid Kanter's flying tackle!

"Oh! Beautiful!"

………………

Bruno ran back desperately when he realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Kanter's defense was unsuccessful and was easily dodged by Ilarana, so he increased his speed and continued to defend.

Then a person came overtaking him from outside his field of vision.

That person's back number is "19".

"Thaddeo Mane!"

The difference in speed between the two men quickly became apparent.

Although Bruno gritted his teeth and chased, Sadio Mane, who was running without the ball, was quite fast. He could only watch the gap between the two gradually widen.

Lallana, who passed Kante, did not continue to dribble. He saw Manchester United's defensive center of gravity moving towards him. He looked up and observed that Henderson was at the far end, on the other side of the pitch, and there was no one beside him. There are no Manchester United players.

So he took a long diagonal pass!

Because it is a long diagonal pass, the football has flight time in the air. Although there is no one around Henderson now, it does not mean that there will not be anyone around him after the football flies over.

Manchester United's players are not fools, and they can't watch the football flying by without defending.

………………

Of course Bruno saw the football being passed to Henderson, but he ignored Henderson and continued to follow Sadio Mane. The two were now about five meters apart. He did not give up and was still chasing. .

The football fell, Henderson faced the football, and Manchester United player Herrera came behind him. Henderson did not receive the ball, he did not even stop the ball, and his teammate Sadio Mane rushed towards him with the ball.

Bruno already knew what Henderson was going to do, but he had no time to remind his teammates that it all happened too fast.

Mane hit the horse and Henderson raised his right foot and pushed the football in the air directly in front of him!

Mane received the ball and broke through Manchester United's defense, broke into the penalty area, and faced goalkeeper De Gea directly!

Bruno still didn't give up. When Mane received the ball, his speed had to drop a bit, and he had to adjust the football. It was absolutely impossible to run as fast as he just did.

This is his only chance to close the distance between the two.

Sadio Mane passed in front of Henderson like a gust of wind, followed closely by Bruno.

Mane in front raised his right leg and was ready to shoot!

It was too late to lean in. Bruno stretched out his foot to shovel, and the shovel flew!

Mane's right foot kicked the football first. When he kicked the football out, Bruno's foot also rushed up and tackled him to the ground.

<divclass="contentadv">De Gea made a save, but the ball flew past his fingertips. He did not stop the football, and the football did not fly out of the baseline. The football flew into the goal and hit the net!

The ball went in!

………………

Bruno tackled Sadio Mane, and the Senegalese was all on top of him. He couldn't see anything, but he could tell whether the ball had gone in from the sound on the spot.

There wasn't a huge cheer, but there was cheering, not loud, and he knew the ball had gone in.

Those small cheers were made by a small number of Liverpool fans, while the large number of Manchester United fans were silent as they watched the football fly into their own goal.

He slapped the ground hard.

Oh shit! This idiot actually scored a goal!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 26th minute, Liverpool took the lead! A typical Klopp-style counterattack! So fast!"

"Oh oh oh! Sadio Mane! He scored his ninth goal in the Premier League this season! He is in such good shape!"

Sadio Mane didn't care to argue with Bruno about his dangerous defensive move. Watching the football fly into the goal, he jumped up from the ground, opened his arms and ran to the Liverpool bench, where he wanted to meet his friends. Pepe celebrates with a hug.

The boos at Old Trafford disappeared for the time being. The Manchester United fans were still in the mood of losing the ball and did not bother to boo the arrogant Senegalese.

………………

Bruno lay on the ground without getting up, looking up at the night sky.

Even though I tried my best, I still couldn't catch up with Manet. The gap in absolute speed cannot be made up by the quality of will!

Bruno knows that although his speed has improved to a certain extent compared to another time and space, he can barely enter the ranks of fast horses in football. However, compared to a talented speed player like Mane, his speed of 100 meters is still obvious. difference.

You know, this sand sculpture can reach a speed of 10.07 seconds per meters without the ball. Even for a professional -meter athlete, this is considered top-notch.

Bruno is good at running with the ball. His combination of man and ball has reached a world-class level. He is confident that when both sides are running with the ball, he is not inferior to Mane at all, or even better. But at this moment, both of them are in the same position. Do runs without the ball.

Of course, running without the ball must be faster than running with the ball, because running with the ball requires constantly adjusting the distance between oneself and the football. Every time you touch the ball, you have to slow down slightly. Your body always has to pause. Countless times of targeting by the system Bruno, who combines human and ball training to the extreme through sexual training, naturally has world-class speed when running with the ball.

But the absolute speed of running without the ball relies on physical talent. But it is obvious that Bruno's physical talent is not in speed, and it is reasonable that he cannot outrun Mane, who has a black body.

But Bruno was unwilling to give in. Because of his own reasons, the team lost the ball first, and he could not forgive himself.

Maybe I realized this earlier, ran back and forth earlier, and had a chance to knock Sadio Mane to the ground near the center circle?

But there are no ifs on the football field. When the football has rolled into their net, it is useless to say anything.

………………

Manchester United, which wanted to win, conceded the first goal in the game and became a laggard.

Did Mourinho think before the game that his team would fall behind at home? He must have thought about it, otherwise he would not be a qualified head coach.

Liverpool's offense is very sharp. After all, they are the second-highest scoring team in the Premier League, averaging 2.4 goals per game. So Mourinho must have expected that the team would fall behind first.

So what should we do after we fall behind first? The countermeasure is also very simple - attack.

If we are all behind, how can we still hold on and not get out?

Because of Bruno's presence, Mourinho doesn't have to worry about Manchester United's offense at all. After all, under Bruno's leadership, this Manchester United is the team with the most goals in the Premier League, with an average of 3 goals per game, far more than the second-placed team. The famous Liverpool.

So Mourinho didn't rush to the sideline and yell after losing the ball. He knew that the players knew it and Bruno also knew what to do.

Liverpool's players were still celebrating the goal, and Bruno had already gotten up from the ground. He first apologized to goalkeeper De Gea and other teammates: "Sorry, I didn't stop him."

De Gea shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, Bruno. You are already very good... If it were me, I might have given up chasing him when he passed me. His speed was too fast..."

Bruno patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

As a goalkeeper, De Gea was also quite frustrated when he lost the ball.

………………

Bruno fished the football out of the net and ran to the front, where the offensive players were waiting for the kickoff.

He threw the football to Ibrahimovic and shouted to everyone: "Attack, let's keep attacking!"

Without saying too many words, this is enough.

Liverpool's goal did not bring any turning point in the game. Both themselves and Manchester United, who were lagging behind, still persisted in attacking.

This game is still worth watching.
