Chapter 836: Defeating the Enemy

However, Bielsa's joy did not last long, because just four minutes later, Manchester United scored again.

Bruno got the ball in the frontcourt and pretended to pass it to McTominay, which attracted the attention of Leeds United's defense, but he suddenly pushed the ball straight through the middle!

This pass was very concealed and very imaginative.

Rashford suddenly broke out from behind two defenders and received the ball in an offside position.

"Not offside!"

"Single sword!"

Facing the attacking Leeds United goalkeeper Meslier, Rashford took a shot, and the ball quickly slipped past Meslier's hand along the grass, then stuck to the inside of the post and flew into the goal!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Manchester United is playing completely crazy. Leeds United's goal just now did not ease their decline. Now they are three goals behind again." Andy Gray shouted, "Look at the expressions of the Leeds United players. They look confused, as if they are saying, 'What happened'? Oh my God..."

"Marcus Rashford! 4:1! 4:1! If you just turned on the TV, please believe your eyes, the score is correct, it's this score." Martin Taylor shouted, "4:1, Manchester United leads Leeds United 4:1 at home, incredible game, incredible score, and most importantly, the game has only started for minutes..."

While admiring and sighing, he shook his head. Even Martin Taylor, who had some confidence that Manchester United and Mourinho would win the fifth consecutive Premier League title in the new season, could only admire and exclaim in the face of the current situation.

In just 4 minutes, they beat the strong Leeds United 1:. Can you imagine?

"Manchester United played like crazy," Andy Gray said bluntly.

………………

"Twenty-five minutes into the game, Manchester United showed amazing offensive efficiency, with six shots, five on target and four goals."

"Crazy Manchester United showed the world their crazy offensive scoring ability." Martin Taylor said, sighing, "Last season, Manchester United won the Premier League four consecutive titles with 99 points, beating Liverpool with 98 points, achieving an achievement that Manchester United in the Ferguson era could not achieve. After the start of the new season, Manchester United was in a slump for a while. At that time, many people believed that this Manchester United had reached its peak and would probably not win the Premier League championship in the new season. But Mourinho and his team said no to the world, they are not satisfied yet. When the league was only in the 14th round, they had already gained an 8-point advantage in the standings!"

"A day ago, Liverpool slaughtered Crystal Palace, which had defeated Manchester United unexpectedly, 7:0 away from home. Klopp and his team began to show their fangs and chase Manchester United frantically. But a day later, Manchester United responded quickly. They also played a fantastic game with a crazy offensive. They are telling Liverpool that Manchester United will not give them a chance to catch up!"

………………

Leeds United were trailing 1:4, the players' morale was low and their luck didn't seem to be very good either.

In the 36th minute of the game, Leeds United's midfielder Kalvin Phillips kicked the ball out of the field after completing a stop.

Afterwards, Leeds United's team doctor came on the field to examine Phillips.

Leeds United head coach Bielsa looked at the field nervously, and Mourinho also stared at the field.

Then I saw the Leeds United team doctor making a gesture: a substitution gesture.

"It looked like Phillips couldn't keep playing."

"Let's take a look again. Phillips took the initiative to kick the ball out of the sideline without any fight. Judging from the situation, it looks more like a strain."

F**K!

Bielsa waved his hands angrily. As if things were not bad enough, he was in a terrible mood.

Watching Bielsa reluctantly replace Phillips with young player Struijk, Mourinho shook his head slightly. He even felt a little sorry for Bielsa.

Then Mourinho became cheerful as he pondered the possible impact of Phillips' unexpected injury on the game.

Mourinho called Bruno to the sidelines to convey the latest tactical instructions. Rashford and Luke Shaw on the left speeded up and attacked Struijk.

In fact, head coaches are generally more cautious about using young people. They rarely count on a young person to turn the tide when the team is in crisis. This is more out of protection for young players.

Perhaps Bielsa was forced to make a substitution and chose Struijk because he wanted to bring out the offensive talent of this small player, but Mourinho asked the whole team to play at the first opportunity, which made Struijk confused.

A young man is given a task in a time of crisis. If he can get through the initial adaptation period, he may be able to perform well and shine. However, if he is knocked out by a blow at the very beginning, it will be difficult for him to adjust in a short period of time, and his position will become a new breakthrough point for the opponent to wreak havoc.

………………

Even Mourinho did not expect Manchester United to have such good luck and such high offensive efficiency.

Five minutes later, Manchester United tore through Leeds United's defense again on the left. Luke Shaw intercepted Struijk's pass, dribbled the ball all the way down the line, and then passed it back to the top of the penalty area. Rashford passed the ball, McTominay's shot from the front point missed the ball, and at the back point, Gundogan made a beautiful run through and his shot hit the right post and bounced out.

Before Leeds United fans had time to rejoice, a red figure rushed up and shot into the empty goal before Alioski.

"It's Bruno! He made the follow-up shot-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Bruno scored a goal. After two assists, Bruno finally scored a goal!"

"5:1! Manchester United completely controlled the game. This was an absolute crushing victory. Manchester United beat Leeds United 5:1. This was something we had not expected before the game. Leeds United, which had performed well under the leadership of Bielsa, conceded five goals in minutes and had absolutely no chance of fighting back!"

"I can't believe what I'm seeing. Our team is now 1:5 behind... What happened? Why did Bamford, Rafinha, Rodrigo, Klich, Harrison... they all disappeared? And where are our defenders? What are they doing..."

The commentator of the local TV station in Leeds was very frustrated. Besides anger and pain, his biggest feeling now was confusion and puzzlement.

He couldn't understand why his beloved team had such a performance. Before the half-time, they were already 1:5 behind? How could it be possible? However, this was the fact.

………………

The commentator of Leeds did not understand why Leeds United played like this, and did not understand why such a score appeared. Leeds United coach Bielsa and Leeds United players did not understand either.

It is this lack of understanding that has led to Leeds United's low morale, and even a lack of morale.

At this moment, in the eyes of Leeds people, Manchester United, their opponent, was like a devil with its bloody mouth wide open, and even its exhaled breath carried a terrifying bloody smell.

On the field, Bruno, who scored the goal, broke through his teammates' interception, rushed to the sidelines, and made a celebration gesture by sucking a pacifier with his right hand.

"Bruno dedicated the goal to his newly born son," Martin Taylor said with emotion. "At the beginning of the month, Bruno's wife in China gave birth to a son for him. The Manchester United captain dedicated this goal to his son. We also believe that Bruno's son must be watching the game in front of the TV at this moment, watching his father score a goal. Maybe he is still a baby and can't understand football, but he can definitely feel his father's love for him."

Manchester United players all gathered around and celebrated the goal with Bruno.

There was also warm applause from the stands of the Millennium Stadium. All Manchester United fans stood up and applauded, giving their applause to Bruno and his son.

………………

Bruno's goal was the last goal of Manchester United in the first half. Manchester United ended the first half with a score of 5:1 at home.

For Leeds United, they created an embarrassing record. This game was Leeds United's 482nd game in the Premier League, but it was the first time they lost 5 goals in the first half.

In the previous 481 Premier League games, Leeds United had never conceded four goals in the first half, let alone five goals.

In addition, this game was the first Premier League game this season with 1 goals in the first half. Previously, the most goals in the first half were 6. This situation occurred in Liverpool VS Leeds United, Villa VS Liverpool and Manchester United VS Tottenham.

You know, in the entire 2019-20 season, there were only three games in which there were five goals in the first half.

After the start of the second half, Dallas received a header from his teammate, stopped the ball with his chest, and suddenly made a beautiful volley, helping Leeds United change the score to 2:5.

This made Leeds United fans cheer, they felt they saw hope of a comeback: Manchester United could score five goals against us in the first half, why couldn't we score five goals in return?

Then, just ten minutes later, Leeds United's hopes were completely shattered.

In the 6th minute of the game, Bruno cut inside and suddenly shot the ball into the goal guarded by Meslier again. The Manchester United captain scored twice, helping Manchester United to change the score to 2:!

Then, nineteen minutes later, Bruno, McTominay and Greenwood passed the ball continuously, and finally Greenwood, who replaced Mbappe, shot into the lower left corner from the edge of the penalty area.

This goal caused great frenzy among the home team fans.

Greenwood is a native of Manchester United and a product of Manchester United's youth training system. He has been playing for Manchester United's youth team since he was 7 years old. Manchester United fans were very happy to see this young man with a deep Manchester United imprint score a goal in such an important game.

Of course, this goal changed the score to 7:2, which is also the most important reason to be happy.
