Chapter 681 GOAT and 1 Super Multipolar

On the last day of 2018 and the first day of 2019, reports about Manchester United breaking AC Milan's -year unbeaten streak in the top five leagues were seen all over the world. This was a focus of attention around the world in the past two days and a hot topic of discussion on the Internet.

Another hot topic that has been widely reported and discussed is about Bruno.

This Premier League match against Bournemouth was not only the game in which Bruno scored his 400th Premier League goal in his career, but also the 351th game in his career in club first-team and national team competitions, including 49 club first-team games and national team games.

359 first-team games for clubs, including 40 games in one season for Novara, 3 games in three seasons for Udinese, and 157 games in two and a half seasons for Manchester United.

And all 49 national team games were played for the Portuguese national team.

In these 400 games, Bruno scored a total of 380 goals and provided 256 assists.

………………

If we count by season, Bruno played 2012 games for Novara in Serie B in the 2013-40 season, contributing 21 goals and 32 assists. He has no record of playing for the national team, as he only played for the Portuguese national youth team in the Toulon Tournament and the World Youth Championship in Türkiye.

He spent the next three seasons playing for Udinese in Serie A, and also started playing for the Portugal national team.

2013-2014赛季为乌迪内斯出战56场，取得32球和35次助攻的成绩单。为葡萄牙国家队有两次替补出场，没有进球也没有助攻。

The 2014-2015 season was the season when Bruno really started to break out, and it was also the season when he went from an ordinary star to a superstar. This season, Bruno played 51 games for Udinese, scored 49 goals and assisted 32 times, helping Udinese win the Serie A and Champions League titles.

In the national team, Bruno played 8 games for the Portuguese national team, scoring 8 goals and providing 7 assists.

Thanks to his outstanding performance in both club and national team, Bruno won the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or, ending the seven-year dominance of Messi and Ronaldo, the two greatest players in world football, and announcing that world football has officially entered the era of the Big Three.

In the 2015-2016 season, Bruno's performance was still outstanding, scoring 50 goals and assisting 63 times in 43 games for Udinese, winning the Serie A championship.

In the national team, Bruno played 13 games for Portugal, scored 14 goals and assisted 4 times, helping Portugal win the first European Cup in team history.

………………

In the summer of 2016, Bruno, who had grown into a world football superstar, joined the Premier League giants Manchester United for a record-breaking 2 million euros, ushering in a new era.

In the 2016-2017 season, Bruno represented Manchester United and scored 58 goals and assisted 58 times in 32 games in all competitions, helping Manchester United regain the Premier League title after four years, and also won the League Cup and FA Cup, as well as the first Europa League in team history.

As for the national team, Bruno played 10 games for Portugal, scored 19 goals and assisted 9 times, winning the first Confederations Cup in team history.

The 2017-2018 season was another season of Bruno's explosion. He played 61 games for Manchester United, scored 67 goals and provided 36 assists. Under Bruno's leadership, Manchester United remained unbeaten in all competitions that season, won the Champions League, and defended the domestic triple crown.

In the Portuguese national team, Bruno played 12 times, scored 15 goals and assisted 8 times, helping Portugal win the first World Cup title in team history.

With his outstanding performance, Bruno regained the FIFA World Player of the Year and the European Golden Ball after two years, becoming the true number one in world football.

………………

If calculated by year, in 2012, the fledgling Bruno started his professional career in Serie B Novara. He played 20 times for Novara in Serie B and scored 8 goals and 9 assists.

2013 was the year when Bruno became famous. In the summer of that year, Bruno transferred to Udinese in Serie A and began to emerge on the world football stage. Throughout the year, he represented Novara, Udinese and the Portuguese national team, played 47 games in various competitions, scored 32 goals and assisted 36 times.

2014 was the year when Bruno began to rise. In that year, he played 63 games for Udinese and the Portuguese national team, scored 48 goals and assisted 41 times.

This year, Bruno began to be included in the FIFA Ballon d'Or shortlist and became a top star in world football.

2015 was the year when Bruno began to break out. In that year, he represented Udinese and the Portugal national team, played 62 games in various competitions, scored 63 goals and assisted 36 times, ending the era of the two greatest players of Messi and Ronaldo and ushering in a new era of the Big Three in world football.

In 2016, Bruno continued his outstanding performance and moved to Manchester United in the summer, opening a new chapter in his career. In this year, Bruno played 64 games in various competitions for Udinese, Manchester United and the Portuguese national team, scored a total of 77 goals and provided 45 assists, breaking Yosi's record of 113 goals in a single natural year.

This year still belonged to the Big Three. In the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award, the Big Three still occupied the top three positions.

Bruno performed steadily in 2017, playing 70 official games for Manchester United and the Portuguese national team throughout the year, breaking his personal record for appearances. In 70 games, Bruno contributed 77 goals and 47 assists, breaking his own record of participating in goals in a natural year with 124 goals.

2018 was the year when Bruno truly reached the top of world football. This year, Bruno was invincible both in Manchester United Club and the Portuguese national team.

In this year, he played 63 games for Manchester United and 12 games for the Portuguese national team, breaking his personal record for annual appearances. In a total of 73 games, Bruno scored 75 goals and made 44 assists. He helped Manchester United win 7 trophies, becoming the first team in the history of world football to win seven titles, and also won the World Cup with the Portuguese national team.

Due to his outstanding individual performance and team honors, Bruno won the 2017-2018 World Footballer of the Year and the 2018 European Golden Ball Award without any surprise, becoming the well-deserved GOAT of world football!

………………

It can be said that since Bruno's rise, his statistics have been quite explosive. Especially in the past three years, his number of goals has exceeded 3, which is simply unbelievable.

You should know that since records began, before Bruno, only five players had scored more than 5 goals in a natural year, namely Pele with 70 goals in 1958 and 75 goals in 1965, Gerd Muller with 73 goals in 1972, Zico with 85 goals in 1979, Romario with 70 goals in 2000, and Yossi with 72 goals in 2012.

Apart from these five players who scored more than 5 goals in a natural year a total of 6 times, even someone as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo, who can be called a goal-scoring machine, has never scored more than 70 goals in a year.

C Ronaldo's single-year goal record is 69 goals. He represented Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team in 2013.

Bruno's annual goals are only over 70, far less than Gerd Muller's 85 goals, not to mention Yosi's 91 goals, but he is the first person in history who can consistently score more than 70 goals a year.

Yes, Bruno has scored more than 70 goals for three consecutive years. He can be said to be the first player in football history who can score more than 70 goals stably.

………………

Bruno's stable offensive ability is not only reflected in goals, his assist ability is also excellent and stable.

After six and a half years of debut, he has made 256 assists, which is equivalent to about 40 assists every year.

This is indeed the case. Except for 2012 when Bruno just made his debut, from 2013 to the present 2018, Bruno's assists have never been less than 30 in six years, and he has always maintained a performance of 30+.

而从2014年开始，布鲁诺每年进球+助攻的数据，便从未低于80球。分别是2014年的89球，2015年的99球，2016年的122球，2017年的124球，以及2018年的119球。

If you look at the ranking of natural annual goal participation in world football, you can find that Bruno already occupies half of the list.

排名第一的，当然是布鲁诺在2017年的自然年度124球，紧接着便是布鲁诺在2016年的122球，第三名则是2018年布鲁诺的119球，第四名是哟西在2012年的113球，第五名是布鲁诺在2015年的99球，第六名是盖德·穆勒在1972年的97球，第七名是贝利在1958年的96球，第八名是哟西在2011年的95球，第九名是哟西在2016年的90球，第十名是布鲁诺在2014年的89球。

Bruno occupied five of the top ten spots, truly occupying half of the total.

The most terrifying thing is that the top three places on the list are all occupied by Bruno.

Bruno is only 24 years old and has just entered the peak of his career.

Many media outlets have stated that with Bruno’s development trend, when the day comes that Bruno retires, both the annual goal list and the annual participating goal list will probably be dominated by Bruno!

………………

With Messi and Ronaldo both over 2018 and entering the twilight of their careers, coupled with Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Real Madrid, the top platform, to join the declining Juventus, and Yosi's Barcelona gradually losing competitiveness in European football, many media have predicted that starting from , the situation of the three giants in world football has been broken and has entered a situation of one superpower and many poles.

The most obvious sign is that in 2018, Yosi has dropped out of the top five in the FIFA World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or selections. The saying of the Big Three is already dead in name only.

In fact, it is not just Yosi who has dropped out of the top five who is no longer qualified for the Big Three. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has left Real Madrid, may soon find it difficult to qualify for the Big Three title. Although Cristiano Ronaldo ranked second in both the FIFA World Player of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or this year, it will be difficult for him to enter the top three of the two awards starting in 2019.
