Chapter 485 Captain’s debut

Early the next morning, Bruno got up early for morning jogging training, then went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. After going out, he went to have breakfast with his teammates.

Since Mourinho took over at Old Trafford, Manchester United has continued to maintain strict discipline, including meals on match days at the same time, in order to allow players to maintain the best physical condition during the game.

As captain, it should have been Bruno's responsibility to organize meals for his teammates, but now he has given Carrick full authority. The reason is simple, he is really a rookie in this area.

Although I have experienced a lot in my daily life, participation and leadership are two different things.

When his teammates saw his appearance, they all wanted to laugh. Apparently they all felt that Bruno was a bit weird as the captain.

In fact, Bruno's popularity in the team is also very good, otherwise not many people would support him as captain.

This also made many people joke with him. Some blackmailed him to treat him as a new official, while others thought that he did not show the dignity of a captain and should be more fierce. They were all kind-hearted jokes.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop making fun of him." Carrick shouted with a smile.

Thanks to last night's voting, a potential conflict was eliminated, which is also the best choice for the team.

Furthermore, most people in the team feel that Bruno is the most suitable captain.

………………

After the entire Manchester United team had breakfast, they took a Boeing 234 helicopter provided by Jassim for Manchester United and rushed to Swansea.

In the new season, Jassim has provided two aircraft for Manchester United. One is a Boeing 234 helicopter, which is mainly used for Manchester United to travel to away games in the UK; the other is a Boeing BBJ business jet, used for traveling to distant away games. Take part in competitions, such as traveling to continental Europe or further afield.

The inhumanity of the Prince of Qatar is also vividly reflected in this matter. After all, the total value of these two private jets alone exceeds 100 million pounds, but Jassim directly used them for the Manchester United team.

In this way, as long as it is an away game in the UK, Manchester United does not need to rush to the away game a day in advance, because with this Boeing 234, they can basically guarantee to arrive within an hour and a half.

As for teams in places like Greater Manchester or nearby Liverpool, Manchester United can definitely take the team bus to get there. After all, it is less than an hour's drive away.

………………

After an hour's flight, the Manchester United team arrived at Swansea Airport, then took the team bus that arrived in advance and went directly to the Liberty Stadium.

Although Swansea is the second largest city in Wales, it has a small population and the stadium capacity is not large. It can only accommodate 21,000 fans. However, every time they play against a domestic giant team like Manchester United, they can all sit down. Full stadium.

When the team returned to the locker room and the players were ready to play, assistant coach Carrick took out the captain's armband and came to Bruno under the gaze of all the players.

"This is your first time, let me put it on for you." Carrick smiled.

Bruno nodded, raised his left arm, and asked Carrick to put it on for him.

This can also be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

"I promise that I will never disappoint everyone's expectations!" Bruno said loudly.

The teammates in the locker room nodded one after another, and when they passed Bruno one after another, they all took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.

This is his first game since becoming Manchester United captain and Manchester United's second league game this season.

………………

When the players of the two teams walked out of the stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee, Bruno, as the captain, was at the front. This change quickly attracted the attention of the media and fans at the scene.

"Manchester United seems to have undergone some changes. We can see that Bruno is at the front of the team in the order of appearance in this game. Obviously, Manchester United arranged for Bruno to be the team's captain."

"This player, who only turns 23 next month, will become the youngest captain in the Premier League this season. I don't know if he can shoulder this important task, and we are all looking forward to Manchester United's game tonight. Performance."

Amid the cheers of the fans, Bruno came to the referee on the sidelines.

Swansea's captain on the field is their goalkeeper Fabianski. The 32-year-old Polish goalkeeper is not Swansea's first captain, but because their captain and veteran Britton did not play in this game , so the captain's armband was worn on Fabianski's arm.

Fabianski was obviously surprised when he saw Bruno, but he still smiled and greeted Bruno.

The referee reiterated his request for the game, hoping that it would be a smooth and fair game.

Then when guessing the side, Bruno got the right to serve. This was also the strategy that Manchester United formulated early.

………………

Later, after exchanging team flags with Fabianski, Bruno shook hands with the referee team one after another before returning to his own half. After following the whole process, Bruno is quite familiar with the game. After all, he also played as captain in Udinese.

"Don't be stressed, just focus on the game and enjoy the game as usual." Mourinho comforted Bruno on the sidelines, fearing that Bruno would be under some psychological pressure.

Faria also gave him some advice, generally hoping that he would let go.

Bruno understands this and will not feel any pressure. After all, defeating Swansea is a sure thing. The only difference is how many goals he can score and whether he can score.

But it is impossible to say that there is no pressure at all. After all, this is his first game after officially becoming the captain of Manchester United. He always has to leave something behind, right?

From the beginning of the game, Manchester United pressed forward aggressively.

The team's game strategy is exactly the same as when they played West Ham United before, that is, regardless of the situation, just press on and start.

Relying on the team's overall strength and the team's overall midfield and frontcourt pressure, Manchester United quickly overwhelmed Swansea.

In the 12th minute of the game, after receiving a pass from Valencia on the right, Bruno suddenly shook off the defender, cut all the way to the edge of the penalty area, and passed the ball to Mata.

This time, the Spanish midfielder stepped in and pushed the ball directly with his right foot, sending the ball into the Swansea goal.

After scoring, Mata was so excited that he hugged Bruno. This is two consecutive rounds of league games where he has scored goals. It feels great.

Bruno was also very happy and celebrated with him. He was also happy to see Mata score, but at the same time he was even more eager to score himself.
