Chapter 435: Gu Mu Sees Each Other Season 2

This goal greatly boosted the morale of Tottenham and made them realize that Manchester United's defense had many loopholes that could be exploited. Tottenham then launched a crazy counterattack, with several threatening shots that shocked the Manchester United fans into a cold sweat.

But Manchester United's opportunities often appear in the midst of their opponents' crazy counterattacks. Bruno calmly observes the situation, even when his own goal is in turmoil.

In the 44th minute, he finally seized this opportunity.

At that time, Bruno launched a long pass from the backcourt, and Rashford passed the header to Lingard who was following. Then he turned and ran inward. Lingard dribbled the ball to the wing and then passed the ball. Rashford leaned in the middle. He stopped the opponent's center back Vertonghen, then turned around and fired. The football went between the legs of goalkeeper Lori.

2:1, Manchester United exceeded the score again!

Manchester United took the lead again before the end of the first half, which made the second half more playable and the atmosphere in the dressing room was relaxed at halftime.

Being behind in the score put a lot of pressure on Tottenham.

Just three minutes into the second half, Manchester United expanded the score.

In the 48th minute, Tottenham's 21-year-old young midfielder Dele Alli lost the ball in the midfield under the pressure of two Manchester United players.

After Carrick intercepted the ball, he passed it to Bruno. Bruno made another pass. This time the person receiving the ball was Rashford. He scored with a header and rewritten the score to 3:1!

At this point, the game has lost its suspense.

Subsequently, Bruno scored a goal to help Manchester United seal the victory, and Alli also scored a goal, but it was too late.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Tottenham 4:2 and entered this season's FA Cup final. They will compete with Arsenal for the final championship trophy.

………………

Manchester United defeated Tottenham 4:2 and entered this season's FA Cup final, which greatly boosted the team's morale.

In the locker room after the game, everyone ate together to replenish energy, chatted and laughed, and started joking again. The harmonious atmosphere returned to the team.

No one mentioned the curse anymore, even Lingard thought it was just a joke.

Although reaching the FA Cup final is good news, it also makes Manchester United's competition tasks more arduous in the coming days.

In the next month, they have confirmed games, including 7 Premier League games, 2 Europa League semi-finals and 1 FA Cup final.

Yes, there are still 7 games left in Manchester United's Premier League, even though 34 rounds of the Premier League have been played at this moment!

Due to the special situation in England - the league has to make way for the FA Cup - Manchester United has been forced to postpone three league games, namely the 3th round match against Manchester City and the 26th round match against Southampton. And the 28th round match against Burnley!

………………

Just three days after defeating Tottenham and reaching the FA Cup final, that is, on the evening of April 4, Manchester United ushered in a make-up match: an away game against Manchester City in the 26th round!

Manchester City is currently ranked fifth in the standings, 3 points behind Liverpool, which is ranked fourth, but has 2 games less than Liverpool, and is hopeful of competing for a Champions League spot.

However, such results are undoubtedly unqualified for Guardiola and Manchester City. After all, they spent a huge amount of more than 2 million euros in last summer's transfer window, and their goal is definitely not to be a season in which all four players are empty.

However, as of today, they have been eliminated from the Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup. With only 6 games left in the Premier League, they are 20 points behind Manchester United and completely missed the competition for the Premier League championship.

Guardiola's first season in charge of Manchester City was destined to end with nothing.

Under such circumstances, if even a Champions League seat cannot be guaranteed, Guardiola's coaching position may also sound the alarm.

However, after four rounds of winless games at the end of March and early April, Manchester City performed well in the last two league games. They defeated Hull City 32:3 at home in the 1nd round and beat Southampton 33:3 away from home in the 0rd round. Everyone in the team is highly motivated and confident.

As the two most expensive teams in European football today, and as teams coached by the two most famous head coaches in the world, Mourinho and Guardiola, the game between Manchester United and Manchester City has attracted worldwide attention.

………………

This is also a game that neither side can afford to lose.

For Manchester United, due to Chelsea's 4:2 victory over Southampton last weekend, they are only 1 point ahead of Chelsea behind them in the standings. Although they have played 2 fewer games than Chelsea, they have no points and are always full of uncertainty.

For example, if Manchester United cannot defeat Manchester City in this game, they will not be able to score points in this game.

For Manchester City, this game is even more unbearable to lose. Their current situation in competing for Champions League seats is not optimistic. Once they lose to Manchester United at home, they will not only be double beaten by Manchester United this season, but they will also give up the initiative to compete for Champions League seats.

When the season is destined to be empty, if even the Champions League seats cannot be guaranteed, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Manchester City and Guardiola.

Before the game, the head coaches of both sides talked about Bruno.

Mourinho said that Bruno is the core of the team, and he is very satisfied with Bruno's performance and role in the team this coming season. This is the fact that he has praised Bruno in public more than once, but the team has not expressed any appreciation for Bruno. The "special treatment" expresses jealousy and dissatisfaction because everyone knows that he deserves it.

He deserves the praise, he deserves the praise, and he deserves the adulation from the media.

Everyone also knows that under these praises are the responsibilities and pressures of being the core of the team.

Everything must be paid for before it can be rewarded. How rich the reward is depends on how much hard work you have to put in first.

Manchester City's head coach Guardiola also talked about Bruno. Although he also praised Bruno's performance, he talked more about how to deal with Bruno.

"We already have a way to deal with him, but I'm sorry I can't announce it here."

………………

In fact, everyone knows what the method is: constantly using rough movements and fouls to violate Bruno, making it impossible for him to control the ball well. Once he loses the ball due to lack of protection, the opponent can directly face the back line, so Bruno is attacking. Sometimes he seems timid and performs poorly.

Many teams are wondering how to deal with Bruno. They have tried many methods, but none of them seem to be permanent. As long as the head coach is smart enough, these tactics can only be successful for a while.

Whether Manchester City's foul tactics will follow in their footsteps is really hard to say. But Manchester City is full of confidence in defeating Manchester United at home.

Manchester City's veteran midfielder Yaya Toure sounded somewhat disdainful when talking about Bruno: "He hides behind more of the time, and from there anyone can organize the attack calmly. If he dares to come up and confront me head-on. , I will let him taste my power!"

Regarding Yaya Toure's blatant provocation, Bruno did not retaliate. In an interview with the media, he said: "Everyone has the right to express his own opinion. I have nothing to say about this. Football is not played with the mouth anyway." Yes, let’s talk about it during the competition.”

Bruno said it calmly, but in fact he had some impression of this person. After all, Yaya Toure is also a contributor to the rise of Manchester City. No matter in his past life or in this life, Bruno paid close attention to him and knew the opponent's strength. Although Yaya Toure is no longer as brave as he once was due to age, it is clear that this veteran is not convinced by his age.

In this case, let’s try it this time.

It’s useless no matter how beautifully you talk about football, are you trying to engage in psychological warfare with me? It’s useless for the entire British media to engage in psychological warfare with me, let alone you, a thirty-four-year-old guy!

………………

During training, Bruno shot the football into the goal guarded by De Gea during a five-on-five small field confrontation. The fans applauded and cheered from the sidelines.

"Bruno is in good condition. It seems that we have a better chance of winning this game!" The fans discussed excitedly.

There are always voices of one kind or another before key games, and the most eye-catching voice before the match against Manchester City was Yaya Toure's letter of challenge to Bruno. It is unclear whether this was Yaya Toure's personal voice. Because, it is still Manchester City's psychological tactics. But Yaya Toure's words did push both himself and Bruno into a high-profile situation.

There is another point to watch in this Manchester City derby: Will Bruno fight against Yaya Toure's challenge? And how to fight it?

"Hey, Bruno. Be careful about that Yaya Toure during the game." De Gea was in a good mood. He patted Bruno on the shoulder with his big hand and reminded.

Everyone knows about Yaya Toure's challenge to Bruno before the game, and there are many people in the team who are aggrieved about it. They all think that Yaya Toure is too crazy and must show the old guy a little bit of strength.

The older teammates reminded Bruno to pay attention to the opponent's little moves.

Although he appreciates their concern, Bruno is not afraid to confront Yaya Toure, whether it is physical or small actions.

In terms of small moves, when playing football in Italy, there are not many small moves in the Italian league. Even due to the uneven level of referees, many small moves are very bad. But he still survived in that environment and basically had no injury record, so he was not afraid of any opponent's little moves.

In terms of physical confrontation, after years of specialized training in the training master system, he can now compete with any player without falling behind at all. You can know that he also has an advantage in this aspect.

No matter how powerful Yaya Toure is, for him, he is already a thirty-four-year-old veteran, so there is nothing to worry about.

But he still thanked everyone for their kindness: "Thank you for the reminder, David."

Kanter was full of confidence in Bruno and was not worried that Bruno would suffer. He took over the conversation: "Don't worry, David. That old guy can't beat Bruno."
