Chapter 438 Strategic Weapon

Chapter 438 Strategic Weapons

The boos generated by more than 50,000 fans at the Etihad were like a rough ocean, eager to swallow Bruno in the center completely.

Bruno is like a small boat in the vast ocean, rising and falling with the waves, but always calm and unmoved.

He has been carefully calculating the height of Manchester City's wall, the height after they take off, as well as the situation of the players in the penalty area, and Bravo's possible reaction.

He has seen Manchester City's deployment. The home team is obviously more wary of Manchester United's indirect free kicks.

As for the direct free kick, the distance is a bit far and it is not easy to score. After all, Bravo is not a decoration.

Following the whistle from referee Martin Atkinson, Bruno took a deep breath, ignored the red laser on his face, and rushed forward quickly.

Following familiar steps, the distance of each step seemed to have been carefully calculated. When he arrived in front of the ball, Bruno stood still with his left foot, immediately tilted his body at an angle, and kicked out quickly with his right foot.

The whole movement seemed to have been polished countless times, and the connection was extremely skillful and smooth, with some indescribable rhythm and rhythm.

There was only a muffled sound heard at the scene, and the ball was quickly kicked out from Bruno's right foot, flew out at the fastest speed, climbed over the wall, and headed straight for the goal.

………………

All of this happens in the blink of an eye, and the fans may not even see the shadow of the ball. But Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo, standing in front of the Manchester City goal, always focused on the ball, so he could see it very clearly.

When Bruno took the free throw, his first reaction was that Bruno was going to hit the goal directly.

The football passed over the head of the wall. It didn't seem to spin much, but it was very powerful and floated to the right as a whole.

Bravo reacted quickly. If the ball followed this trend, it should fall to the center or the right.

But just when the ball just crossed the top of the wall and Bravo made a judgment, the ball in mid-air suddenly changed its direction, as if being pulled, around an arc and slid to the left.

If based on the first judgment, Bravo does not need to make positional adjustments. He is waiting for changes in Bruno's free throw, such as a sudden sinking, and he is sure to save the kick. What he didn't expect was that the ball suddenly changed to the left, which was somewhat beyond his control.

Bravo quickly changed his judgment and reacted immediately, turning his whole body quickly to the left.

At this moment, the ball seemed to be pushed down hard by a pair of invisible hands, which was beyond Bravo's expectation.

The whole process happened in a very short period of time, but the ball situation changed twice, which made Bravo completely unable to make accurate judgments. By the end, the football was close at hand, and Bravo could only Flying to save.

But after two hesitations, Bravo was already too late. The football flew from his hands into the goal, and Bravo fell heavily to the ground.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!"

The commentator's long tone of the goal sounded immediately, and the scene was mixed with huge exclamations. Obviously everyone was surprised by the sudden direct free kick.

A full thirty-two meters long!

"It's in! It's actually in!"

"In the 13th minute, Bruno opened the scoring for Manchester United with a direct free kick!"

"This is a world-class free kick from Bruno!"

"With this free kick, Bruno is enough to tell the world that he is also the most outstanding free kick expert on the planet."

"Yaya Toure originally thought that his foul distance was far enough and Manchester United would not pose a threat in this position, but what he did not expect was that Bruno's direct free kick gave everyone a nightmare. "

"From now on, any fouls near thirty meters are all opportunities for Bruno to shoot. When facing Manchester United, all opponents must be careful to avoid fouls within this range when facing Manchester United. !”

"This can be said to be a strategic weapon of Manchester United's nuclear level!"

………………

Bruno stood there and watched with his own eyes behind the wall. After the ball passed into the goal guarded by Bravo, he turned around and quickly rushed to the sidelines. He ran all the way to the corner flagpole and slid directly. Kneeling, he dragged two long traces on the grass, and finally jumped up again on the sidelines, clenched his fists, and roared at the fans in the stands.

His position happened to be facing the fans of Manchester United. At this moment, they all rushed out of their seats excitedly and shouted and cheered vigorously towards Bruno below the stands.

Behind him, Manchester United's players also caught up one after another, all surrounding Bruno.

"Asshole, you let me grab the second point? Where's the ball?" This was Maguire's angry roar.

"Oh my god, you can score a penalty like this, it's amazing!" This was Rashford's admiration.

<divclass="contentadv">"What else can I say?" Gundogan reluctantly admitted that his skills were inferior to others.

Kanter even jumped directly on Bruno's body, shouting in his ear, venting his inner excitement and excitement.

Goalkeeper De Gea also danced excitedly in front of the goal and looked extremely happy.

1:0, Manchester United takes the lead at the Etihad!

Although the offensive strategy formulated before the game failed, Manchester United's counterattack was still quite sharp and created many opportunities.

This time, Bruno penetrated Manchester City's goal with a direct free kick. It can be said that it completely changed the situation on the field and completely gave the Manchester United players confidence.

………………

Not only were the players in the stadium excited, but Jassim, who was sitting in the chairman's stand and accompanied by Manchester City chairman Mubarak and senior officials, was so excited that he stood up from his seat the moment Bruno made the free throw. But soon the Manchester United chairman realized his gaffe and sat back down again, but his expression of excitement and surprise was palpable, which made Mubarak sitting next to him look even more depressed.

He was originally full of confidence in the team, but unexpectedly he lost the ball not long after the opening.

The hero of Manchester United's goal was Bruno, the top superstar he once wanted but failed to get.

After Jassim smiled apologetically at Mubarak, he turned to look at Giaretta and Bobby Charlton. The two Manchester United executives were also overjoyed, especially those sitting on the other side of Jassim. of Giaretta.

"Mourinho's targeted tactics worked very well. We always forced Manchester City's ball to the center on the court, forcing them to choose to attack the center more often, but we also deployed a double midfielder configuration in the center."

When Giarretta analyzed this, he kept nodding and said: "The two players Kanter and Carrick are crucial. One is defense, the other is organization, both offensive and defensive. These two players play a very big role."

"Of course, there is Bruno." Giaretta paused, his eyes uncontrollably full of admiration, "I didn't expect his free kicks to be so accomplished, a direct free kick from 32 meters away, and a penalty He is so tricky, he reminds me of Junior Juninho at Lyon.”

Bobby Charlton also took over the words softly from the side and said with a smile: "Normally, Bruno's free throws are said to be dedicated to Juninho's skills, and he practices very hard. He must stop and practice any extra skills every day. ball."

After a pause, Bobby Charlton continued: "I think his responsibility at critical moments is more gratifying."

The thirty-two-meter direct free kick is indeed far away. If someone else was to take the penalty, in line with the mentality of seeking stability for nothing, he should choose an indirect free kick at this time, but Bruno decisively chose a direct free kick. , and personally took the penalty shot.

It can be said that at critical moments, he is still very responsible and decisive.

"According to the current trend, there is still a chance to score." Giaretta said expectantly.

Bobby Charlton also agreed very much and kept nodding.

………………

On the other side, there is also a group of people who are also analyzing the situation of the ten minutes of the game.

"We made the mistake we shouldn't have made. It seemed we controlled the ball, but in fact we were disrupted by our opponents."

Omar Berrada shook his head and sighed: "Sane and Sterling are too close to the center. They are used to looking for De Bruyne and Fernandinho to cooperate, which leads to too many personnel in our center. Being bloated, they restrict each other and make it difficult to use their fists. "

Omar Berada was born in Barcelona and worked as the sponsorship director at Barcelona for nearly eight years before joining Manchester City in August 2011. Mubarak lured him to Manchester City mainly because of his business ability.

In fact, Omar's work at Manchester City is also very good. In the past few years, Manchester City's business development has been getting better and better. This is inseparable from the strong economic strength of the boss behind Manchester City, but Omar's work ability is also real.

In 2016, Omar became the CEO of Manchester City Club and became the most important member of Blue Moon's management.

Around Mubarak, he often played different roles. For example, now, he acts as a commentator.

"What should we do?" Mubarak asked quietly.

Omar frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We still have to use offensive width and make more fuss on both sides."

Guardiola's formation in this game obviously wanted to take into account both passing and controlling the ball and stability in the midfield. However, in the end, it resulted in both Sane and Sterling habitually leaning towards the center, which in turn led to bloated personnel in the center and bloated sides. The road is not threatening.

"You must not be in a hurry now, it will be dangerous if you are in a hurry." Omar analyzed worriedly.

Even before the game started, Manchester City was already at a disadvantage.

The situation in the league and the instability of the Champions League seats next season have forced Manchester City to perform their best at home, but at the same time, the players are under heavy pressure. This can be seen from the start of the game, the players are playing a little anxiously.

Now that Manchester United has scored first, the pressure on Manchester City is really great.
