Bruno didn't pay attention to these small details. He was waving his teammates to press instead of returning to defense.

Although possession of the ball fell to the opponent, it was a throw-in, not a goal kick. Therefore, Bruno chose to let the team form pressure in the frontcourt, press the opponent, and force the opponent to concede the ball.

A tactical core must be like a head coach during the game, because he is an extension of the head coach on the court. He must make his own choices in response to the ever-changing situation on the court. As it happens, Bruno is very good at multiple-choice questions.

He had already seen from the ten minutes of the game that Bournemouth relied on their home field advantage to rush to attack and took advantage of the opportunity in defense. Then Manchester United will use the frontcourt press to intercept the ball, and then exploit the loopholes in their defense.

Under his command, his teammates pressed forward one after another. Even the full-backs passed the center line, and he himself ran into the frontcourt.

Bournemouth threw a throw-in. Mata was a little angry when he was laughed at by the Bournemouth fans. As soon as the opponent threw a throw-in, he rushed forward.

Bournemouth's left midfielder Lewis Cook planned to use his chest to remove the ball. As a result, he did not know enough about the situation behind him and was overtaken by Mata from behind and stole the ball!

Seeing Mata steal the ball in the frontcourt, Manchester United fans shouted: "Forward! Forward! Manchester United!"

They are just fans of the authorities, and Bruno certainly cannot be a group of people.

Martial received the ball unmarked and passed it to Ibrahimovic, who shot directly into the empty goal...

"Manchester United scored, this is Ibrahimovic's first Premier League goal! He scored in two consecutive games!"

Immediately afterwards, Mata saw Martial appear in the open area and he received the ball. However, another Bournemouth center back, Adam Smith, soon appeared in front of Martial. He came over from the center to prevent Martial's shot.

Ibrahimovic scored his first Premier League goal. No matter how he will be with this team in the future, at least he has written his name in the history of Manchester United.

At the same time, the full-back Valencia also rushed forward at high speed, with the intention of trying to cover the side. Bournemouth defender Daniels, who was originally planning to attack, saw Valencia rushing toward him aggressively, quickly changed his attention, and followed Valencia backwards.

Mata clearly saw the whole process from the side.

When Ibrahimovic scored, the Manchester United fans, who were originally in the minority, burst into huge cheers, overwhelming the Bournemouth fans at home in an instant.

………………

The most important thing is that he not only created this gap, but also personally used this gap to score goals for the team.

Bournemouth originally planned to take advantage of Bruno's many forward attacks to participate in the attack. Manchester United's quick counterattack. As a result, Bruno chased back several times and intercepted the ball, so they gave up the idea.

How could it be possible if it were a person?

The Manchester United fans in the stands were celebrating and cheering wildly. This was the first league goal for the team's new player and superstar Ibrahimovic after joining Manchester United, and it was also in his first Premier League game. They had reason to be so happy.

The first person to make a move was Bruno, who suddenly stepped forward.

Just when he was thinking about how to pass the football so that the team's offense could achieve maximum results, he saw Bruno waving to him.

When this scene really happened, the magic bird waved his fist vigorously.

What's more, there is also a top coach Mourinho who has won the Champions League twice!

………………

At the same time, Bournemouth goalkeeper Boruc also moved to the near corner to block Martial's shot. Unexpectedly, Martial didn't shoot at all. He swung his foot and passed the football directly to the goal!

Ibrahimovic, who had been in the middle, stepped in from behind and shoveled the football into the empty goal!

But how does Bruno know that Steve Cook will definitely come up after he passes the ball to him?

But that's not the main reason that makes him happy. What makes him happy is Bruno's outstanding performance. It feels great to play with such a top midfielder.

They will definitely win many games. As head coach Mourinho said, competing for a Champions League spot is not their goal at all!

What is our goal? It's victory!

Of course, there is also a reason why Bruno will join Manchester United. This is the man who can take the unknown Udinese to the Serie A championship and even the top of Europe.

"Nice pass, Juan." He extended his hand to himself.

Bruno faced Mata's pass and the Bournemouth center back Steve Cook who came up to defend him. Instead of catching the ball, Bruno turned around and let the football pass, also shaking Steve Cook. Arrived behind.

Bournemouth's defense obviously didn't expect Bruno's pass to be so determined and weird. They thought that Bruno would control the ball after passing the football, and then turn around to look for an opportunity to pass the ball. Unexpectedly, Bruno passed the football while turning around. And just from the space left by the rushing Steve Cook, he sent the football into the penalty area!

………………

Amid the excited shouts of the fans, the entire Manchester United team also moved.

The teammates were running back, and Ibrahimovic had an arm around Bruno's neck and was smiling and saying something to him in his ear.

He didn't find any opportunities that he could take advantage of, so let him see what Bruno can do!

The TV broadcast and the live audience could clearly see that Bruno kept sprinting back and forth during the game. He did not skimp on physical fitness at all, and his speed was not slow.

The same was true on the sidelines, on the Manchester United bench and in the dugout.

He can appear in any corner of the court as long as the game situation requires him to do so.

Seeing his team score, Mata's first reaction was not happiness, but a little surprised.

"Bruno's pass... so beautiful, how did he think of it? Martial got the ball! Cross... he didn't shoot... Ibrahimovic! Zlatan Ibrahimovic! GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! ! !

Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, was talking to Bruno: "Ha! Well done, Bruno! I knew you could do it!"

After taking a one-goal lead, Manchester United became more confident and their morale was high. Take the initiative in the next game.

This pass is full of imagination and skill, and it is indeed worthy of his endless shouting.

If Steve Cook rushes up to him when he gets the ball, he can get the ball there without passing it to Bruno.

Mata saw this scene, and he still thought what happened just now was incredible. Did I high-five the Portuguese just now? And the goal came from my pass to him...

This is the value of the first player worth 200 million euros in football history!

………………

That's why he always wanted Bruno.

Mata did not pass the ball to Valencia because Valencia had already been watched, which was obviously not a good offensive choice.

Such a level of passing is not something that ordinary players can make!

"Nice pass! Ah, beautiful!" the commentator couldn't help shouting.

When he saw Bruno sending the football into the open space with a turning pass, Mourinho had already stood up from his seat. He could already predict what would happen next.

After passing the football, he turned around and stretched out his feet. While turning around, he suddenly passed the football forward. It looked like he was turning 360 degrees around the football, and in the process he completed all the actions of letting the ball go, catching the ball, breaking away from the defense, and then passing the ball.

Bruno's performance in the midfield has become more and more stable, not only controlling the team's offensive rhythm, but also contributing to his defense many times.

Udinese can do it, but why can't Manchester United, which has more money and foundation than Udinese?

Therefore, after hearing that Bruno might join Manchester United, he refused PSG's contract extension without saying a word and agreed to Manchester United's invitation.

For him, his career is perfect enough, and his only regret is that he failed to win the European championship.

In the eyes of the Bournemouth players, Bruno is not a person, but a group of people. Because before you thought he was participating in the attack in the frontcourt, you later found out that he was the one who cut off the football under his feet.

When he has the ball, Steve Cook is standing firmly on the back line, so there is no such obvious gap there.

And Bruno, who is only 22 years old but has already led the team to win the Europa League and Champions League, is the target he chose for his last ditch effort.

………………

He watched with wide eyes as Ibrahimovic jumped up from the ground, then grabbed the jersey, ran and roared. Other Manchester United teammates also rushed towards him. Only one person ran towards him, and that person was Bruno.

………………

He hesitated and passed the football.

Not only that, he also pulled out the opponent's center back, disrupting the opponent's originally good defense and leaving a gap in the opponent's defense.

Mata didn't have time to think so much. He stretched out his hand like a reflex and let Bruno slap the palm of his hand.

He has no worries about joining Manchester United, which is in a trough period, because he knows that with him here, there is nothing to worry about.

In addition, he can pass the ball directly while turning around to shake off the opponent, and he can deliver the football so accurately...

The most subtle and crucial part of this offense occurred when Bruno turned around to pass the ball and get rid of the opponent's defender.

There is another point that cannot be seen just by watching live TV, and that is Bruno's grasp of the game situation, which allows him to choose the correct action and path, and will not run blindly.

Although he kept running, he never wasted his physical energy, and it always worked every time he ran.
