Chapter 853 Oil Capital

Especially in defending Almiron, the double defensive midfielders Fred and Kante were like a wall, blocking the Spaniard in front of them, especially Kante. In the 14th minute, when Almiron wanted to break through with the ball, the French midfielder suddenly made a fierce tackle and knocked the Spaniard to the ground with the ball.

The referee was very observant and gave a yellow card. The French midfielder did not argue, but smiled at the referee and stepped back.

This was his way of showing Almiron his power. The move looked fierce and lethal, but in fact no one would be hurt, it was just very intimidating.

Kante is relatively calm and rational, but in Mourinho's plan, he is also a key player in the away game against Paris Saint-Germain next week, so he will be substituted in the second half and it is the most appropriate choice for him to commit the foul.

On the contrary, Fred is a well-known reckless man with fierce actions. If he were to do it, he might get a yellow card at any time, and then Manchester United would really lose more than it gained.

After being badly beaten by Kante, Almiron did restrain himself a lot. Every time he saw the ferocious looks of Fred and Kante, he was obviously somewhat uneasy.

………………

The midfield was restricted, and the ball could not be played in the front court, so the ball was transferred more in the midfield and backcourt. Manchester United increased the pressure in the midfield and backcourt.

At the beginning, Newcastle was able to cope with it, but gradually, Newcastle's disadvantage of being inferior to others became apparent.

In the 28th minute, Newcastle's central defender Russells took the ball forward and tried to pass it to midfielder Hayden under the interference of McTominay. The two were only ten meters apart and it was a sure thing. But unexpectedly, when Hayden was about to catch the ball, Bruno suddenly jumped out from behind and entangled with Hayden, causing the ball to roll to the left.

After Greenwood caught up with the ball, he quickly dribbled along the left side and directly launched a counterattack after intercepting the ball in the frontcourt.

McTominay also pressed forward immediately, and the two quickly formed a two-on-three situation in the left half.

Greenwood has good footwork and is very flexible with the ball. When dribbling high, he can still clearly see the situation in the penalty area.

After dribbling into the penalty area, Manchester United's youth training genius made a horizontal pass and passed the ball behind McTominay.

Russells was originally standing between McTominay and the goal, with the aim of preventing the Manchester United center from facing the goal directly, but Greenwood's pass made him very passive.

McTominay understood what he meant and used his body to block Russells instead of catching the ball.

Just like that, the ball slipped past McTominay and rolled towards the penalty spot.

………………

"A quick counter attack from Manchester United."

"Greenwood dribbled the ball on the left and broke through into the penalty area, then passed it across the middle."

"McTominay missed..."

"Penalty kick, Bruno..."

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 28th minute, Manchester United scored another goal!"

"Bruno! Bruno! Scored the second goal of the game! It is also his 30th goal in the league this season!"

"It was a very clean left-foot shot. Darlo had no ability to stop it!"

"Manchester United leads 2:0!"

After scoring the goal, Bruno rushed out of the stadium, slid to his knees under the stands where Manchester United fans were, raised his head and opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug every fan in the stands.

Behind him, his teammates rushed out one after another and surrounded him.

"This was Bruno's first shot of the game and he scored a goal unexpectedly."

"His ability to seize opportunities is indeed very stable, but Newcastle must also reflect on their own defense."

"This is the gap in strength. Manchester United has been in a very good state recently."

………………

While Bruno was celebrating with his arms open in the Manchester United fans' stand, in a box in the stands, Yasser Rumayyan, president of the Saudi Public Investment Fund and chairman of Saudi Aramco, covered his lips tightly. He looked depressed and a little bored.

Recently, the Saudi Public Investment Fund is actively negotiating to buy Newcastle, and if successful, Rumeyan will become the new club owner of Newcastle.

He originally did not plan to come to tonight's game because he felt the chances of winning were slim, but Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce publicly invited him, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally came.

But he didn't expect that he would be met with such a defeat.

The gap in strength between the two sides is still quite obvious.

Manchester United is indeed the team that has dominated the Premier League and even Europe in the past four years. Their strength is so strong that it makes people despair. Even if they rotate several main strikers, their attacking power is still extremely strong.

Especially Bruno, he is a super talented person who has surpassed the two great players Cristiano Ronaldo and Yosi.

Rumeyen originally wanted to sign Bruno after buying Newcastle, and sent people to contact Manchester United, but Manchester United refused to contact Newcastle about Bruno and made it clear that Bruno was not for sale.

Rumeyan also had contact with Bruno's agent Mendes, but this cunning agent wanted to talk to him about the transfer of Cancelo or Kante. The two sides were never able to reach an agreement and eventually the matter came to nothing.

Rumeyan is not a die-hard fan. He has never even seen any of Bruno's games before. But tonight, he was there and saw with his own eyes how Bruno started in an instant, shook off Shelvey, and scored with his left foot from the penalty spot.

Is Shelvey too weak?

No, he is a well-known defensive stalwart in the Premier League, how could he be weak?

So, we can only say that Bruno is too strong.

"This kid is good, we can consider him." Rumeiyan's partner Staveley suggested with a smile.

Ru Meiyan raised the corner of his mouth and did not comment.

………………

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After scoring the second goal, Manchester United completely controlled the situation on the field. Almiron was restricted by Manchester United, and Newcastle had difficulty launching threatening attacks.

In addition, after conceding two goals in a row, Newcastle players felt very anxious.

While Newcastle was anxious, Manchester United had more experience, and with the advantage in score and field, they stood firmly in the midfield, actively adopted pressing tactics, waiting for Newcastle to make mistakes.

During this period, Newcastle was not completely without opportunities.

In the 39th minute, they launched a very threatening attack. Willock got the ball on the right and passed it to the middle, but Joelinton was disturbed by Maguire and failed to hit the right spot, and the ball went directly out of the baseline.

Just three minutes later, Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball and launched another quick counterattack.

Greenwood dribbled the ball inside and passed it back to the left.

Luke Shaw made a run-in, dribbled the ball directly to the baseline, and crossed it to the front of the small penalty area.

Darlow decisively left the goal and flew to save the ball before McTominay.

But the ball did not fly far. After Bruno received the ball, when facing the Newcastle defender in the penalty area, he pushed the ball behind himself with his left foot, turned around, and shot directly into the empty goal with his right foot.

The ball went in!

Bruno was not excited at all this time. To him, the ball was as if he had picked it up. He spread his hands indifferently and accepted the congratulations from his teammates.

The Newcastle players slumped in the penalty area with a look of frustration on their faces.

0: 3!

They are really desperate!

Before the game, after learning that Manchester United had replaced their main striker, each of them was still full of confidence, looking forward to winning the key three points away from home. But unexpectedly, when the game really started, they suddenly found that everything was different from what they imagined.

………………

The three-goal lead made Manchester United more calm and confident.

During the half-time break, Mourinho praised the team's performance in the first half and encouraged the players to keep up the good work.

"I believe that as long as we play the game steadily, victory will belong to us!"

After the second half, Newcastle did not adjust the team lineup. They launched an attack after the opening, but it was ineffective.

In the 50th minute, there was a very obvious detail that reflected the problem of Newcastle players. That was that under the pressure of Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt, center back Russells couldn't find a point to pass the ball, so he passed the ball back to the goalkeeper with his feet. However, Manchester United kept pressing, and Darlow hastily picked up the ball with his hands.

Manchester United players immediately protested to the referee, but the referee did not punish them severely. Instead, he gave Manchester United a free kick opportunity near the right bottom line of the penalty area.

Since Bruno had been substituted at halftime, Mahrez took the free kick this time. He passed the ball directly into the penalty area, Kante quickly inserted and volleyed the ball, which hit the post and failed to score.

Although they failed to score a goal, both the poor mistakes made by Newcastle's players and Manchester United's subsequent shot that hit the post clearly reflected the changes in the mental outlook of the two teams.

Afterwards, Mourinho made another substitution. Kante, Luke Shaw, Maguire and others were replaced one after another, and Bellingham, Dalot and Lindelof got the chance to play.

Manchester United made a large number of substitutions, but still encountered some problems on the field, which allowed Newcastle to score a goal and save a little face.

In the 86th minute, Newcastle took a tactical corner kick. Willock made a cross, Lindelof cleared the ball not far away, and Saint-Maximin followed up with a volley to score. Manchester United 3:1 Newcastle.

This is also the final score of the game!
