Chapter 850: 3 consecutive Club World Cup titles

Although he failed to score a goal, Bruno was still the first to run over and celebrate with his teammates.

He knows that his teammates want to help him score goals, but sometimes the situation is like this and you can't force it. The players of the Tigers are not wooden stakes. They will not let Manchester United manipulate them. They will also have their own targeted tactics. All Manchester United can do is try to help Bruno.

"Let's take advantage of the moment they kick off and make a move," Gundogan suggested.

The first half is about to end, and there is still hope if we can grab a wave at this time.

"That's a good idea. We will be responsible for stealing the ball. As soon as the Tigers kick off, we will rush forward to steal the ball."

Harry Kane had just received an assist from Bruno, and now was the time to return the favor. He said to his teammates: "After you get the ball, try to pass it to me. I have both of the Tigers' central defenders accounted for."

Then, the England center forward looked at Bruno and continued, "Just pay attention to cutting in behind me, and I will pass it to you."

"That's a good idea, I think it's feasible!"

The teammates discussed the matter together and finally came to an agreement.

………………

Soon, the Tigers' two forwards stood in the center circle to restart the game.

As soon as the ball was kicked out, Manchester United players rushed forward quickly and chased all the way to the back line.

The Tigers players were obviously surprised. They didn't expect that Manchester United would come back after just losing a goal. In a panic, the ball was quickly intercepted in the middle, and Gundogan intercepted the opponent's midfielder's pass.

After Mbappe got rid of the defender, he passed the ball to Harry Kane in the middle of the frontcourt.

The Manchester United centre-forward used his body to block the Tigers' centre-back and flicked Mbappe's pass behind him with his right foot.

Bruno broke through the Tigers' defense like a flash of lightning.

Because of the epidemic, there were not many fans at the scene. But at this moment, all the fans cheered in surprise in an instant.

Qatari fans had no impression of the unknown Tigers, and they came to support Manchester United and Bruno. So when they saw Bruno run behind Harry Kane at a very fast speed and catch up with his pass, many of them even rushed out of their seats excitedly, ready to cheer for the goal.

"Bruno is not offside!"

“He caught up with his teammate’s pass and faced the goalkeeper directly!”

"Guzman decisively abandoned the goal and attacked..."

"Bruno... beautiful pass!"

"Directly facing the empty goal, the ball goes in!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Bruno! In the 39th minute, Bruno finally scored against the Tigers!"

"Oh my God, Manchester United scored in two consecutive minutes!"

"It was a very sudden goal!"

……

………………

After scoring the goal, Bruno was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and slid down to his knees in front of the live TV camera.

Behind him, his teammates rushed forward and surrounded him. He didn't even know who kissed his forehead.

"3:0, Manchester United has basically won this game."

"Bruno also scored his first goal in this Club World Cup and his 13th goal in his career."

"What a tenacious and stubborn killer!"

"Before this game, Bruno was three goals behind Gignac, who was at the top of the scorer list. Everyone thought he should give up the fight for the Golden Boot. But unexpectedly, Bruno still didn't give up. He was extremely tenacious throughout the first half, patiently looking for opportunities to score almost all the time. Now, his efforts have finally paid off!"

“There’s still the second half!”

"Now, we should say to him, come on, Bruno! You still have the second half, don't worry, you still have a chance!"

……

Bruno got up from the ground and hugged his teammates one by one. He was so grateful to them!

"There's still the second half!" Bruno said through gritted teeth, "There's still the second half, I think I can score another goal!"

"Of course, even if you don't want to come in, we won't let you go!"

"That's right, at least score one more goal, or even try to get a hat trick!"

……

Teammates cheered, encouraged and supported Bruno.

………………

"In the second half, Manchester United made a substitution. Midfielder Gundogan was substituted off and Mahrez came on to replace Gundogan in the midfield position."

"This should be Mourinho's attempt to save some strength."

"In just four days, Manchester United will challenge West Bromwich Albion away from home. Although the Baggies are currently deep in the relegation zone, they are not to be bullied, and Manchester United cannot but treat them with caution. After all, Manchester City has been in great form recently, having won ten consecutive Premier League games, including a 3:1 away win over Chelsea and a 4:1 sweep over Liverpool. They are very strong and are catching up very quickly!"

"Replacing Gundogan at this time should also be a plan to save strength for the Premier League. But we can see that Bruno still appears in Manchester United's lineup. Obviously, he has not given up the competition for the top scorer of this Club World Cup."

"The third and fourth place final of the Club World Cup ended a day ago, and Gignac's number of goals remained at 3 goals. So, in the scorer list, Bruno is only two goals behind Gignac."

"The live broadcast camera gave Bruno a close-up, and we can see that his face is full of confidence and determination at this moment."

"The 26-year-old Manchester United captain has performed extremely well this season as always. It should be said that he is one of the best players in the world so far this season. He is currently two goals behind Gignac. Let us wait and see."

………………

After the second half, the Tigers continued to strengthen their defense. It was obvious that they had given up the unrealistic idea of ​​an upset at the feet of Manchester United. Their real goal was to win by a small margin. After all, they were already three goals behind, and it would be very embarrassing to lose too many goals.

Bruno knew that if he wanted to score, he had to rely on his own efforts. So after the second half started, he continued to look for opportunities and kept trying to rush into the opponent's penalty area.

Manchester United players also tried to help him create opportunities, but unfortunately they failed to create any threats.

The two sides exchanged words and time passed quickly.

After Gundogan left the field, Mahrez did not have the strength to replace him for the time being, which caused some confusion in Manchester United's midfield, especially when passing the ball forward, there was still a big gap between Mahrez and Gundogan.

Bruno created opportunities many times, but Mahrez's pass was just a little short or a little late, which made Bruno play a little awkwardly, but there was no way, the team had to consider the Premier League in the middle of the week.

Besides, no one can force Mahrez to play like Gundogan.

Although Mahrez is also a good player, he is not good at playing as a defensive midfielder. But because Manchester United is fighting on two fronts, he has to play as a guest. Bruno is relatively tolerant and calm about this.

He has always been very patient and calm, so no matter how his teammates pass the ball, he will always raise his hand, give a thumbs up, or applaud to express his appreciation and affirmation of his teammates.

This is just a detail, but it is how he gets along with his teammates.

Of course, this is also because Bruno, as a time traveler, knows some problems that exist in Bruno himself in another time and space. This has become a shackle that prevents him from transforming from a star to a superstar. Now Bruno naturally has to make changes.

This approachable way of getting along also makes teammates more willing to help Bruno.

………………

Although Mahrez is not Gundogan, he still works very hard, participating in passing the ball forward and actively pressing and defending backwards.

In the 62nd minute, it was Mahrez's pressing that knocked the opponent's ball away. Van Dijk suddenly rushed out of the penalty area and intercepted the ball first.

The Dutch center back dribbled the ball forward and looked up ahead.

Harry Kane was standing slightly left of the centre, blocking the Tigers' centre-back, ready to receive the ball, while Bruno was entangled by the opponent's left-back, but he held his right hand high.

This is the gesture they often use during training!

Van Dijk acted decisively and made a long pass, sending the ball in front of Bruno.

Bruno rushed forward quickly, while constantly observing the situation around him, using his body and running position to block the opponent's left-back, forcing himself to always occupy the most advantageous position.

When the ball came, Bruno judged the position in advance and blocked the Tigers' left back with his body.

The football came to him, and Bruno stopped by leaning sideways with his chest out. The ball hit the strong muscles on his chest, changed direction, and bounced in front of Bruno. In an instant, Bruno also shook off the Tigers' left-back and quickly caught up.

The moment Bruno started, the Tigers' left-back didn't have time to pull him up even if he wanted to. He could only watch Bruno catch up with him at the fastest speed, dribbling towards the falling ball and directly into the penalty area.

………………

"Bruno has a chance to get a one-on-one chance!"

"Just shoot!"

“The ball went in!!!!”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!"

"A very clean shot!"

"Bruno rushed into the Tigers' penalty area again in the 63rd minute, and with a clean shot near the penalty spot, he once again penetrated Guzman's goal!"

"4:0, Manchester United has completely secured the victory!"

"Bruno scored twice!"

……

After scoring the goal, Bruno turned and rushed out of the stadium, running all the way to the visiting team's coaching bench, and hugged his teammates such as Gundogan who rushed over to him.

"I know you can do it!"

"I knew you could do it, you could do it!"

Scored twice!

Bruno really had the urge to roar to the sky!

Before the competition, he didn't know if he could do it, but now, he is 100% sure that he can!

He really can!

With three goals, he can turn the situation around!
