Chapter 760 Farewell 2019

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!"

"Oh God, my God!"

"Bruno! It's Bruno again! Just three minutes into the game, Bruno quickly took the ball from the left, cut inside, and shot directly with his right foot, breaking Newcastle's goal for Manchester United!"

"Bruno scored in just three minutes to help Manchester United take the lead at home. Newcastle's defenders couldn't stop him at all!"

"Bruno looked very excited tonight and he looked very active."

"This is Bruno's 21st Premier League goal of the season, he is alone in the scorer list!"

"This is also Bruno's 2019th Premier League goal in 39 and Bruno's 139th Premier League goal!"

"Bruno has surpassed his teammate Harry Kane, who has scored 138 goals, and has risen to 13th place in the Premier League's historical scorer list. Ahead of him is former Manchester United and Arsenal star Robin van Persie. The Dutchman has scored a total of 144 Premier League goals, only 5 more than Bruno. It is only a matter of time before he is surpassed by Bruno!"

"Even Shelingham (146 goals), Les Ferdinand (149 goals) and Michael Owen (150 goals) who are ahead of him may be surpassed by Bruno after the end of this season. By then, Bruno will be in the top ten of the Premier League's historical scorer list!"

………………

2019年12月26日，英国当地时间晚上17点33分。

In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will host Newcastle at home.

Just three minutes into the game, Bruno scored a goal for Manchester United, which quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the entire Cardiff Millennium Stadium. More than 70,000 fans rushed out of their seats, shouting Bruno's name frantically, and all the Manchester United players also rushed forward to celebrate Bruno's goal.

Scoring a goal within three minutes of the start of the game showed Bruno's outstanding competitive form.

Head coach Mourinho on the sidelines was even more excited to dance. He has really discovered now that as long as Bruno is in good condition and plays smoothly, Manchester United will be unfavorable.

And the facts also confirm his view.

After Bruno opened the scoring, Manchester United continued to press forward. Newcastle organized a tight defense, but it only lasted for 15 minutes.

In the 2th minute of the game, Bruno passed the ball back to Cancelo from the right, the Portuguese right-back made a large transfer, Luke Shaw assisted Mbappe to score the second goal of the game, and Manchester United extended the score to 0:.

Newcastle lost two goals in a row, and the team's morale suffered a severe blow.

Sixteen minutes later, this time it was Rashford who took charge. With an assist from Harry Kane, the England international scored in the penalty area to further expand Manchester United's lead.

3: 0!

………………

With a three-goal lead in the first half, Manchester United's morale was high.

During the half-time break, head coach Mourinho was full of praise for the team's performance and repeatedly encouraged the players to keep up the good work and strive for a big victory at home.

This season, the competition between Manchester United and Liverpool is very fierce, even brutal!

在已经进行的18轮英超联赛中，利物浦取得17胜1负，打进44球丢15球，以51個积分领跑英超积分榜。

Although Manchester United is still unbeaten, with one game less, they have only achieved 15 wins and 2 draws, scored 50 goals and conceded 19 goals, and only got 47 points, which is 4 points behind Liverpool.

Even if Manchester United can win the make-up match, they will still be 1 point behind Liverpool.

Moreover, with the two teams in excellent form, it is not impossible for the score to be tied in the end. In this way, the goal difference will become the object of competition between the two sides, and even the key reason for finally deciding who will win the championship.

In the second half, Newcastle's defense only lasted fourteen minutes.

In the 59th minute, Gundogan picked up the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed it behind him. After Bruno inserted his chest to stop the ball, he turned and volleyed with his left foot and hit the goal, giving Manchester United another victory and scoring twice.

4: 0!

Manchester United fans were completely crazy, and all the fans at the scene were shouting Bruno's name.

………………

Leading by four goals, and in the busy Christmas schedule, almost all teams would choose to slow down the offensive tempo and conserve their energy when they are leading by a large margin early on.

But just when everyone thought that Manchester United would stop there, in the 67th minute, Bruno suddenly appeared in the empty space in the middle. After getting the ball, he dribbled all the way to the front of the penalty area, suddenly kicked the ball and scored again.

5: 0!

The defeat was like a landslide, Newcastle has been completely defeated!

Bruno once again scored a hat trick, letting everyone see his excellent competitive state with three goals.

Mourinho replaced Bruno with Mata in the 70th minute.

At this moment, all the Manchester United fans in the stadium stood up, cheered for Bruno and gave him thunderous applause.

After Mata came on the field, Manchester United's offense showed no intention of slowing down at all.

In the 78th minute, Gundogan assisted Harry Kane to score.

Just five minutes later, the England center forward scored again with a header from close range, this time assisted by Cancelo on the right.

Until the 90th minute, Manchester United was still attacking. Harry Kane headed the ball back to the front of the penalty area, and Gundogan followed up with a fierce shot, scoring the eighth goal for Manchester United.

When the whistle blew to end the game, all the fans in the stadium went wild with joy!

8: 0!

This was one of the most exciting games in the Premier League so far this season, and also the smoothest game Manchester United has played this season.

At the same time, this is the third time that the team has scored 8 goals in a single Premier League game since Bruno joined Manchester United. Previously in the 2017-2018 season, they defeated Stoke City 8:0 away and then defeated Newcastle 8:1 at home.

Newcastle also became the most miserable team against Manchester United, conceding 8 goals to Manchester United twice!

No one expected that after entering the devilish Christmas schedule, Manchester United did not face a crisis like most teams, but instead played in good form.

Head coach Mourinho stated in a high-profile manner at the post-match press conference that Manchester United is in very good shape and the team is confident to win all games and defeat all opponents, no matter who they are.

As for Bruno, who scored 23 league goals and had 11 assists just after the first half, Mourinho said that he could no longer use any adjectives to describe his admiration for Bruno, because any praise would seem extremely pale and powerless in the face of his outstanding performance.

"I always believe that he is the strongest attacker in the world today, no doubt about it!"

………………

Manchester United's 8-0 win over Newcastle United caused a huge shock in the British football world. What was even more shocking was that Bruno once again performed a hat trick.

This is the 10th time Bruno has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League since joining Manchester United!

In the history of the Premier League, only the famous striker Alan Shearer and Manchester City's current striker Aguero have performed more hat tricks than Bruno, but both of them have only performed 11 hat tricks, only 1 more than Bruno!

In fact, this is the first time Bruno has scored a hat-trick in the Premier League this season. In other games, he rarely even scored twice, but his goal efficiency has been very stable.

Bruno has played 18 Premier League games this season, scoring in 16 of them and only scoring 10 goal in 1 games.

It is precisely because of his stable goals that Bruno scored 23 goals in 18 league rounds. This goal efficiency is simply crazy.

There are even many fans who believe that Bruno is likely to break his Premier League single-season goal record again this season, break the 40-goal mark again, or even score more goals.

………………

Even though Manchester United won a big victory over their opponent, Liverpool was not to be outdone and in the subsequent game, they beat Leicester City 4-0 away.

But this is not because the Foxes are too weak. In fact, they achieved 18 wins, 12 draws and 3 losses in the first 3 rounds of this season, surpassing Guardiola's Manchester City to rank third in the Premier League standings.

But the good thing is that Leicester City's star player Jamie Vardy did not score a goal in this round, but still has 17 goals.

Not only did Bruno not get caught up by Vardy, he even expanded his lead and was far ahead in the Premier League scorer list with a 6-goal advantage.

Manchester United's morale is high after an eight-goal win on Boxing Day.

Two days later, the team faced Burnley in the 20th round.

Because the two games were only 50 hours apart, it was almost impossible for the players to recover their strength, so Mourinho made a major rotation of Manchester United's lineup, but Bruno still started.

Ten minutes into the game, Bruno received a pass from Dalot on the right and scored against Burnley, opening the scoring for Manchester United.

This is also Bruno's 2019nd league goal in 42, setting a new record since he joined Manchester United. Only the 2016 league goals in the natural year of 45 were more than this year, but at that time he played for Manchester United and Udinese.

In the 2th minute of the first half, Lingard assisted Greenwood to score, extending the score to 0:.

After changing sides in the second half, Bruno was still very active on the court.

In the 60th minute, McTominay replaced Greenwood and served as the team's center forward. Bruno and all his teammates worked hard to create opportunities for him because the Scottish center forward was eager to score a goal.

Finally in the 75th minute, Bruno planned, Mata assisted, and McTominay scored.

This was also the final score of Manchester United in this game.

At this point, Bruno's entire competition mission in 2019 has come to an end.

在整个2019年，布鲁诺代表曼联在各项赛事中出战56场，打进67球助攻37次；另外他还代表葡萄牙国家队出战8场打进8球助攻9次。自然年度的出场数达到了64场，进球数则是75球，另外还有46次助攻，制造了121球。
