Chapter 759 Six-time Champion
"This goal was so beautiful, starting from the interception in the backcourt, to Bruno's escape and long pass, Mbappe's high-speed run, dribbling and passing, Harry Kane's missed ball in the middle, and Mahrez's shot and goal. The whole process of scoring the goal was very fast and very well coordinated. Manchester United showed the world a textbook classic counterattack score!"
"3:0! The first half of the game has not ended yet, and Manchester United is leading Flamengo 3:0 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. Now for Mourinho and Manchester United, it is only a matter of time before they win the Club World Cup."
Although there is still the second half of the game to play, saying that Manchester United has won the championship now seems a bit disrespectful to the South American champions Flamengo, but the audience in front of the TV know that the commentator is right. Flamengo has no chance of turning the game around in the second half. Flamengo is not Liverpool, and Manchester United is not AC Milan. There is almost no suspense about Manchester United's Club World Cup championship.
At the end of the first half, Manchester United temporarily led Brazilian giants Flamengo 3:0 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.
The commentary booth was full of praise and compliments for Manchester United.
Although there were still 45 minutes of the second half to play, everyone knew that Manchester United's victory and capture of the Club World Cup was a foregone conclusion.
………………
At the start of the second half, neither Manchester United nor Flamengo made any substitutions. The players on the field were already the strongest lineup that Jorge Jesus could put together, and the players on the bench were even worse than the players on the field.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Harry Kane's shot hit the arm of the Flamengo defender. The referee decisively awarded a penalty and showed a yellow card to the Flamengo defender.
Bruno took the penalty kick and he steadily kicked it into the middle.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Bruno's penalty was very solid. Manchester United led Flamengo by four goals at 4:0. They were four goals behind with nearly 3 minutes left in the game. Flamengo, who beat Liyad Crescent 1: in the semi-final, couldn't say they played badly. It could only be said that their opponents were too strong."
………………
After leading 4-0, Mourinho began to make substitutions, and he substituted two players at once. Chong replaced Mahrez and McTominay replaced Harry Kane.
On the Flamengo side, Jorge Jesus also replaced midfielder Arrascaeta with Vitinho.
Although Manchester United's offensive has decreased slightly, it is still very threatening.
In the 66th minute of the game, Bruno made a diagonal pass in front of the goal, Mbappe made a smart move from the back post and scored with a header.
Seeing Mbappe's clever forward run from the back and head the ball into the net, Mourinho excitedly waved his fist on the sidelines.
Mbappe is in excellent form, which is great news for Manchester United as they are about to enter a tough Christmas schedule.
This was Manchester United's fifth goal.
With the team trailing 0:5, Jorge Jesus continued to make substitutions, with Diego replacing Ribeiro who had no performance in today's game.
Mourinho also made substitutions and used the last substitution: Bellingham came on as a substitute, replacing Kante.
This is also a regular substitution.
In the 89th minute of the game, Bellingham broke through the middle and passed the ball to the side. Luke Shaw passed the ball to the middle, and McTominay made a shovel shot in front of the goal. Manchester United defeated Flamengo 6-0 in the Club World Cup final.
"6:0, Manchester United won 6:0 in the Club World Cup final. They created the most lopsided score in the history of the Club World Cup final. Flamengo is so miserable. They are nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
………………
A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
"The game is over, the game is over, the game is over! Manchester United defeated the South American Libertadores Cup champion Flamengo with a huge score of 2019:6 in the 0 Club World Cup final. They are the champions of this year's Club World Cup!" He Wei shouted loudly, "Congratulations to Mourinho, congratulations to Manchester United, congratulations to Bruno, congratulations to Harry Kane, congratulations to Mbappe, congratulations to Mahrez..."
"Manchester United won the Club World Cup, which is also the sixth championship trophy Manchester United has won in 2019. In chronological order, the 2018-2019 Premier League championship trophy, the English FA Cup championship trophy, the European Champions League championship, and the English Community Shield championship and European Super Cup championship after the start of the new season, and finally this Club World Cup championship trophy."
"Yes, six championships! This is the third consecutive year that Manchester United has won at least six championship trophies! In 2017, Manchester United won the English League Cup, English FA Cup, English Premier League, UEFA Europa League, English Community Shield and European Super Cup; in 2018, Manchester United won the English League Cup, English FA Cup, English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, English Community Shield, European Super Cup and Club World Cup, becoming an unprecedented seven-time champion!" Zhang Lu also shouted loudly, "Including this year's six championships, Manchester United has won six championships for three consecutive years!"
………………
The entire Manchester United team returned to the locker room, took a quick shower, changed into the championship T-shirts specially prepared for the champions, and then returned to the stadium.
When Flamengo players went on stage to receive the silver medal symbolizing the runner-up of the Club World Cup, Manchester United players lined up and applauded at the call of captain Bruno to pay tribute to their opponents.
Losing to Manchester United by six goals was not Flamengo's fault. It can only be said that Manchester United was too strong.
After Flamengo's players received the silver medal, it was Manchester United's turn to receive the gold medal and the Club World Cup trophy.
Bruno was the last to take the podium.
After FIFA President Infantino presented Bruno with the gold medal, he held Bruno's hand and chatted happily for a while.
The final moment finally arrived, and Bruno received the Club World Cup trophy from FIFA President Infantino.
Under the floodlights, the trophy seemed to be shining. The Manchester United captain held the trophy high. Red fireworks sprayed from behind the podium, and red and gold ribbons fell from the ceiling of the stadium.
Beautiful fireworks also bloomed over the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha to celebrate Manchester United!
"Congratulations to Bruno, congratulations to Manchester United, the six-time champions! They were crowned the six-time champions tonight! The first team in football history to win six titles three times in a row was born!"
………………
Manchester United won the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup, being crowned six-time champion for three consecutive years. This became the focus of major media reports around the world the next day. For a while, it seemed that the entire world of football was shrouded in the glory of Manchester United.
Manchester United is so popular that all the European giants are trying to avoid it. A special poll conducted by Marca shows that the fans of the three La Liga giants, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, are most afraid of Manchester United.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admits: "Compared to other opponents, Manchester United is more difficult to play against!"
Mundo Deportivo said that Manchester United is the touchstone of the king of Europe: "Manchester United is saying, 'Hey, look, we are the super favorites, and the team that wants to win the Champions League must get past us first'!"
When Barcelona won six championships, the media and fans gave it the title of "Universe Team".
Now, the same title has been attached to Manchester United.
Zinedine Zidane, a legend in French football history and the head coach who led Real Madrid to become the first team to defend the Champions League title since the reform, said in an interview: "This Manchester United will leave an indelible mark in the history of world football."
In the Times' "Best Team of All Time" poll, Mourinho's Manchester United won 55% of the vote, beating Guardiola's Barcelona, Zidane's Real Madrid, Mourinho's Inter Milan, Brazil in 1970, Germany in 1974 and Sacchi's AC Milan.
Manchester United is very brilliant at the club level, and its English players and tactical system have also "benefited" the England national team. Currently, Manchester United has English internationals such as Harry Kane, Rashford, Luke Shaw, Maguire, and Jesse Lingard, which has benefited the England national team a lot.
The Guardian even lamented: "England owes Mourinho too much!"
………………
Amidst such great praise and hype, the Western world ushered in one of the most important festivals of the year: Christmas!
As a person with an oriental soul, Bruno does not have any special feelings for Christmas, but as 2020 approaches, Bruno's mood becomes heavier and heavier.
Because he knows very well that the time for a major epidemic outbreak that will bring severe damage to the world is getting closer and closer.
In fact, Bruno has already reported through the Internet that signs of the epidemic have appeared in some places.
But Bruno is somewhat helpless about this. He is just a football player. Although he has huge popularity and influence worldwide, he is still powerless to stop the arrival of this disaster that has swept the world.
However, Bruno did not have much energy to pay attention to the news of the epidemic at this time, because with the arrival of Christmas, the Premier League once again ushered in its most difficult time of the year: the Christmas devil schedule!
Like every previous season, Manchester United will have three Premier League games in just five days from Boxing Day this year to New Year's Day next year.
On the afternoon of December 12, Manchester United played against Newcastle at home. This was the 26th round of the Premier League and also the final match of the first half of the Premier League.
Due to the postponement of Manchester United's 18th round of the Premier League, Liverpool has already secured the Premier League half-season championship in advance. However, this game is still important to Manchester United. After all, this season, their competition with Liverpool will be unprecedentedly fierce!
On the evening of December 12, Manchester United challenged Burnley away in the 28th round of the Premier League.
On the evening of January 2020, 1, Manchester United challenged Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This was the 1th round of the Premier League, the last battle of the real Christmas devil schedule, and also the toughest battle!
