Chapter 580 Bruno's Wish
Chapter 580 Bruno's Wish
After being received by the Mayor of Manchester, Manchester United players went up to the City Hall building. All the players came out one by one, holding up the championship trophy and accepting the cheers of the fans.
As the captain, Bruno made the final appearance. He was in high spirits and took the microphone to make a championship declaration to all the fans: This is the second championship trophy won by Manchester United this year, but I can say responsibly that this will definitely not be Manchester United’s last championship trophy this year!
His only wish is to ask Manchester United fans all over the world not to get tired of Manchester United winning too many championships!
The whole audience cheered loudly.
Countless people shouted Bruno's name, like a volcano erupting.
………………
The British local media reported extensively on Manchester United's victory in the Premier League on the front page, or rather, on the entire front page, and even on the second and third pages.
The Manchester Guardian, known as Manchester United's closest media partner, even reported Manchester United's championship in a special edition in the early hours of the next morning.
Jacob Steinberg, a popular journalist for The Guardian and a fan favorite of Manchester United fans, published a passionate article in which he quoted Bruno: "...Yes, as Bruno said, this Premier League title is Manchester United's second championship trophy in 2018, but it is definitely not the last one, because Manchester United also reached the FA Cup final and the Champions League final this season. They also have the hope of competing for the upcoming Community Shield, European Super Cup and Club World Cup. They have the hope of becoming the first true 'seven-time champion' team in football history! As for Bruno's wish, it will definitely come true, because no matter how many championships Manchester United wins, the fans will never get tired of it!"
………………
In addition to The Guardian, other British media also reported the grand occasion after Manchester United won the championship on their front pages.
For Manchester United, the undisputed overlord in the history of the Premier League, who has won 26 titles in its 15-year history, winning the Premier League title is not news, but the long list of records created by Manchester United this season is even more incredible than a dream, which makes everyone madly excited.
Undefeated season!
33 wins in a single season!
104 points in a single season!
24 consecutive wins at the start of the season!
121 goals in a single season!
100 goals in a single season!
……
Any team that achieves any of these can be said to have experienced a great season, but now all of these have come together. What other words can describe it except perfect?
It was not just the British media. Manchester United won the Premier League championship with an unbeaten season and a record 104 points in the top five leagues. This unimaginable championship story was enough to attract everyone's attention and interest. Therefore, many media around the world reported it in important pages and even on the front page.
Germany's Bild: Champions! The highest score in Premier League history to win the title, a shocking reality!
France's L'Equipe: Manchester United staged a fairy-tale-like beautiful and incredible ending.
Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport: Manchester United with Bruno Fernandes makes history!
Spain's "Marca": Manchester United tied Real Madrid with 121 goals this season and won the Premier League championship!
Argentina's "El Clarin": Yosi's biggest rival in the future, Bruno, led Manchester United to win the Premier League championship!

……
………………
Bruno's solemn promise to Manchester United fans was soon fulfilled.
Just six days after they celebrated winning the 2017th Premier League title in team history, he led Manchester United to win another championship - the 2018- FA Cup!
英国当地时间2018年5月19日下午5点15分，第137届英格兰足总杯决赛在温布利球场展开角逐，由卫冕冠军红魔曼联对阵英超另一豪门蓝军切尔西。
This game has different meanings for both teams. For Manchester United, if they can win the championship, they will have won three major domestic championships for two consecutive years; and for Chelsea, if they cannot win the championship today, they will have been empty-handed for two consecutive seasons, which is obviously unacceptable to the entire Chelsea team, including their owner, Russian billionaire Abramovich.
Mourinho shakes hands with Chelsea manager Antonio Conte before the game at the new Wembley Stadium, then says: "I expect it to be a great game."
"Huh, I hope so too." Conte had a bad expression on his face. He shook hands perfunctorily and then parted ways. He didn't like this Portuguese colleague.
In this game, owner Abramovich has clearly ordered Chelsea to win, otherwise his days at Stamford Bridge will be over.
………………
The old grudge is deep, and the team is in urgent need of a championship, so Conte is determined to get back at the game.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!!"
"Hazard, he scored in front of the goal, 1:0, Chelsea scored first." Commentator Andy Gray shouted, "Fabregas sent a beautiful cross from the wing, Manchester United's starting central defender Lindelof missed a man, Hazard easily shot and scored, 1:0, Chelsea took the lead."
Chelsea head coach Conte excitedly raised his arms and punched, and jumped three times in a row. Mourinho was worried that he would go into shock due to excitement.
Seeing Conte looking at him with a bright smile before returning to his seat in the coaching booth, Mourinho shook his head and said nothing.
Mourinho was not impatient because of losing the ball. He was still confident that his team could win the game.
Besides, even if they lose, what can they do? Manchester United can afford to lose!
He made a certain degree of rotation in the team today. After all, Manchester United will compete with Real Madrid for the Champions League title in a week, which is the real crucial battle.
In today's game, Manchester United can be said to have only half of their main lineup, so it is not shameful to lose.
Moreover, giving substitute players playing time is also a reward for these players who wait obediently on the bench.
The team’s victory and honor are not only due to the main players, but also the players on the bench who have made great contributions.
………………
Despite the rotation, Mourinho's starting lineup included Bruno, Harry Kane, Mahrez, Lingard and other players, and the attacking power was not weak.
Mourinho thought Harry Kane or Bruno would equalize the score for Manchester United, but he did not expect that the player who scored for Manchester United would be a veteran who surprised him.
Manchester United's first goal came in the 26th minute of the game.
Ashley Young dribbled the ball on the left. He pretended to cross the ball in front of the goal, attracting the defensive players to make a move, but suddenly he cut diagonally into the penalty area.
"Breakthrough! Beautiful!"
After seeing Ashley Young break in, there was chaos in front of Chelsea's goal.
Harry Kane was fighting for position with the Chelsea defender, and both of them were pulling each other's hands and refusing to give in.
Bruno and Mahrez, who replaced Mbappe today, were also trying hard to score.
Chelsea's defence was in disarray as two defenders rushed towards Ashley Young, trying to stop him before he could pass or shoot, and use their bodies to block the ball from going out of bounds.
Ashley Young certainly knew the opponent's intention. Before the opponent could form a siege, he swept the ball towards the goal with his left foot.
"Low cross!"
Harry Kane was entangled with the defender. Just as he was about to grab the ball, he was pulled hard and his hand was let go. This caused Harry Kane to slip, and his right foot did not touch the football.
Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois, who was startled by Harry Kane's shot, rushed out but failed to touch the ball, which rolled to the back post.
Harry Kane, who was lying in the penalty area, raised his hands to indicate that he had been violated. Then he turned his head and saw a red figure rushing up from the back point and kicked the ball!
The football flew into Chelsea's empty goal without any suspense. Their goalkeeper Courtois was still lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet.
………………
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!!!! Manchester United equalized the score! Six minutes after Chelsea scored! Manchester United equalized the score, and Valencia scored for them! The Ecuadorian defender scored what may be the last goal of his Manchester United career!" Lineker shouted.
Valencia was very excited after scoring the goal. He raised his arms vigorously, then turned and ran towards the left-back Ashley Young who passed the ball to him. The two Manchester United veterans high-fived to celebrate.
"Left-back veteran Ashley Young passed the ball, right-back veteran Antonio Valencia scored, and the cooperation between Manchester United's two full-backs completed the goal, 1:1, Manchester United quickly equalized the score."
This was the score in the first half. Although both sides attacked actively afterwards, neither was able to score a goal.
After the change of sides, Manchester United finally scored their second goal of the game.
This was a cross from Mahrez, but the Chelsea defender headed the ball away but it didn't go far enough. Harry Kane stopped the ball with his chest, turned half way and shot. The ball hit the ground and bounced, just passing over the hands of Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois and fell into the net behind the goalkeeper.
………………
Mourinho applauded on the sidelines. 2:1, this goal came at a very timely moment. This was the first time Manchester United took the lead today. This would be a subtle psychological blow to Chelsea players.
This can be seen from the performance of the opposing head coach Conte. The Chelsea head coach first yelled on the sidelines, then returned to the coaching seat with a frustrated look on his face, sat down, unscrewed a bottle of water, took a few big gulps, but choked and coughed repeatedly.
After taking the lead, in the following game, Manchester United almost completely controlled the initiative in the midfield and began to continuously put pressure on Chelsea's goal.
Although Conte walked to the sidelines, shouted loudly, made offensive gestures, and directed the team to counterattack, Chelsea on the field could not attack at all. They were suppressed in the half by Manchester United's offensive.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, cheers broke out from the away stands of the new Wembley Stadium.
At the end of the game, Manchester United won 2:1 and won the 137th FA Cup.
This is the 14th time in Manchester United's history that they have won the oldest tournament in football history!
