Chapter 695 He Really Wants a Goal

After Bruno kicked the ball, he felt it had gone in, but unexpectedly, it was blocked by Fermann.

The Schalke 04 goalkeeper has already conceded four goals in this game, but he is getting stronger and stronger. He saved a goal like this at the beginning of the second half, which shows that he is still in good shape.

Bruno, on the contrary, looked up with a depressed look. He first wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, and then scratched his hair hard. He looked very depressed because he was eager to score a goal.

"Just one minute into the second half, Manchester United took the lead in creating a very threatening attack. Bruno dribbled forward and suddenly shot. Schalke 04 goalkeeper Fährmann's flying save was very crucial to keep the goal intact."

"Corner from Manchester United."

Manchester United then sent a corner kick, creating another exciting chaos in Schalke 04's penalty area. However, Cancelo's shot obviously did not hit the goal.

Schalke 04 then quickly cleared the ball, but the ball was still in Manchester United's hands.

Although they were leading by four goals, the Red Devils still showed great vigor, especially Bruno, who was eager to score a goal.

The other Manchester United players also did not slack off at all.

………………

After the second half started, it was obvious that Schalke 04 players became relatively conservative. At least they would not press forward like they did in the first half and play against Manchester United.

But it is unrealistic to say that Schalke 04 is satisfied with the status quo. For example, in the st minute, they quickly launched a counterattack after stealing the ball in front of their own penalty area. Embolo retreated to receive the ball, but before Embolo could stop, Kante immediately snatched the ball back and passed it to Gundogan, who quickly kicked the ball to the left.

Luke Shaw didn't stop the ball and passed it directly to Bruno.

Another one-on-one, and United's counterattack came quickly.

When Bruno stopped the ball, he made a fake move, pretending to cut inside, but in fact he suddenly dunked the ball to the baseline and quickly tried to break through from the outside.

But this time, Van Homoet was not fooled. Instead, he followed Bruno all the way to the bottom and blocked him inside the penalty area.

Before the baseline, Bruno slowed down and faced Van Homoet again.

The Dutch central defender, who is 1.87 meters tall, did not perform well in his guest role as right back in this game, especially failing to achieve the task assigned by the head coach.

He himself was also very distressed. Rashford, who was facing him, did not perform well tonight, but he did not expect that Bruno, the Manchester United attacking midfielder, would go to his defense area several times to stir up trouble and make him embarrassed.

Bruno is especially proficient with both his left and right feet. He can dribble, break through, pass and shoot, which makes him very difficult to defend. The only thing he can do is to ensure that he stays highly focused.

………………

As soon as Bruno slowed down, Van Homoet immediately slowed down as well. But unexpectedly, Bruno was waiting for him to slow down.

The moment Bruno noticed that Van Homoet was slowing down, he suddenly started. At that moment, his explosive power was very fast, so fast that Van Homoet was surprised and had to keep up.

But if we go any further, we will reach the bottom line.

Bruno knew it very well, so he used the moment when he suddenly started after an emergency stop to create a little space, and before Van Homoet, he poked the ball into the penalty area near the baseline, while he himself went out of the baseline.

But according to the rules, the ball did not go out of bounds, so it is still valid!

"Bruno made a beautiful breakthrough at the baseline! He forced his way past Van Homoet and into the penalty area!"

"Look at Manchester United's attack this time!"

After Bruno rushed into the penalty area with the ball, he immediately glanced at the front of the penalty area and saw Kante.

Bruno was near the baseline and had no chance, so he decisively chose to pass the ball back to Kante who was rushing forward. However, the French midfielder's long-range shot went straight into the stands.

There was a sigh of disappointment throughout the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, and everyone was obviously regretting that Kante missed a good scoring opportunity this time.

"Bruno's previous series of individual breakthroughs were indeed eye-catching, but unfortunately, Kante's shot was really below par. It should have been a very light shot. Whether he pushed it with the inside of his foot or stopped and shot again, he would have had a very good chance, but in the end he shot it directly away."

Kante held his head with both hands, looking extremely upset.

………………

Soon, Manchester United's suppression took effect. Harry Kane headed the ball in the penalty area and grabbed the first point. Schalke 04's defensive midfielder Serdar failed to grab the ball when competing with Rashford, and the Manchester United striker seized the opportunity, rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and shot directly from the right rib, which penetrated the Schalke 04 goal again.

5: 0!

The entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium went completely crazy!

Even the fans who were most confident in Manchester United before the game would never have thought that after the team was completely defeated by Arsenal and their 69-game unbeaten streak was ended, they would immediately launch such a vigorous offensive at their home ground and create such a big victory!

The performance of Manchester United players tonight was so wonderful and outstanding!

Bruno, in particular, was extremely active and scored four goals in the first half, which was definitely a phenomenal performance!

After leading by five goals, Manchester United made a substitution, with Dalot replacing Cancelo.

The Portuguese international has played many games this season and performed quite well. He can be said to be the guardian of Manchester United's right side, so after the team took a big lead, Mourinho still hopes that he can have a good rest.

This is also a chance for Dalot to familiarize himself with the game.

The Manchester United players on the field patiently controlled the ball and attacked around the Schalke 04 penalty area. However, Manchester United mainly concentrated in the -meter area and did not press too high.

………………

Time just passes slowly.

As Manchester United took control of the situation on the field, the two full-backs became more daring in pressing forward to assist.

Especially Luke Shaw on the left, who was very active and actively cooperated with Bruno to launch an attack on the left.

In the 60th minute, Manchester United launched an attack from the left.

Harry Kane pulled to the left wing to meet the ball but had no chance and was forced to pass back.

Bruno ran back along the left wing with the ball and suddenly saw Kante running forward. It was obvious that the Frenchman was also eager to have a goal.

So, Bruno suddenly stopped and pretended to cut inside with the ball.

Van Homoet and McKennie both quickly moved closer, trying to sandwich Bruno at the same time.

But just when the double team was about to be formed, Bruno suddenly sent the ball sideways. The ball passed between Van Homoet and McKennie and fell behind McKennie.

After McKennie moved to the left, Serdar had been sitting in the middle. He noticed Kante's forward run and immediately chased after him, trying to intercept Bruno's pass in advance.

Kante's speed is not fast, but Bruno's kick of the ball is very comfortable. He got one step ahead of Serdar, gently pushed the ball forward, and then chased after him, directly shaking off Serdar's defense.

Stambury realized the danger and pressed forward immediately. But before he arrived, Kante had already kicked the ball!

Kante's shot was very smart, with a certain arc, and it came very suddenly.

Schalke 04 goalkeeper Feldmann was standing slightly outside, so even though he flew to make a save, he could only watch the ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!

………………

“GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"Kante scored the sixth goal of the game!"

"We can see that Kante was very excited. He rushed out of the stadium, ran all the way, and kept shouting at the fans in the stands, venting his inner excitement."

"This is a very wonderful goal! But Kante should thank Bruno for assisting him!"

"Another assist from Bruno! This is Bruno's fifth assist in this game, which is incredible!"

“这也是布鲁诺职业生涯的第一次单场送出5次助攻。此前他曾经两次在一场比赛中送出4次助攻，分别是2016-2017赛季的英超第20轮曼联客场6:0横扫西汉姆联的比赛，以及2017-2018赛季的英超第15轮，曼联主场8:1屠杀纽卡斯尔的比赛。”

"Five assists in a single game are enough to show Bruno's amazing form. But unfortunately, he seems to have no chance to score in this game. He should hate Fellmann now, because the Schalke 5 goalkeeper always lets others score, but he always performs very bravely when facing Bruno's shots. So far, he has saved Bruno's threatening shots several times."

………………

"Should we replace him?" Mourinho asked with a frown.

Although he didn't say who he was asking, there was no need to guess the answer.

Faria saw Bruno's efforts on the field, thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what you think."

"What do you mean?" Mourinho didn't quite understand.

"From the perspective of the head coach, he must be substituted at this time. There is no point in playing after leading by six goals. At this time, he should be more concerned about physical fitness and the next game."

Mourinho's most common saying is that the head coach must have a long-term vision, not only focusing on the upcoming games, but also planning for long-term games. According to his words, Bruno should indeed be replaced at this time.

"But why do I feel like you seem to be against it?" Mourinho asked curiously.

Faria smiled: "You can see that he really wants a goal."
