Bruno has become one of the most photographed players, of course, because Sterling often has the ball.

"Sterling got the ball! He faced Bruno. Pass him!!"

"Fake! Beautiful! That's it! Speed ​​up! He can't outrun you, Raheem!"

The same is true for Manchester City fans. As soon as Sterling gets the ball, their huge cheers are heard in the stands. However, compared to the huge capacity of Old Trafford of 76,000 people, more than two thousand people are really too much. It’s less, so it can’t interfere with Bruno at all. On the contrary, it was the boos from more than 73,000 Manchester United fans, which repeatedly caused Manchester City players to break their defense.

Sterling got the ball and made a fake move to break through to the outside. Bruno remained unmoved, as if he knew it was a fake move.

Seeing that Bruno had not been deceived, Sterling once again made a fake move to break through to the outside, but Bruno remained motionless.

………………

………………

He swung his left foot to make a pass, hoping to trick Bruno into losing his center of gravity to block it, and at the same time, he made an emergency stop and turned around.

When the TV was replaying the scene where Bruno tackled Sterling just now, this controversial shot had to be played several times so that everyone could see it clearly.

As soon as the Manchester City fans began to boo Bruno, the Manchester United fans in the stands began to sing Bruno's praises.

Kolarov received the ball, forced a breakthrough, and then made a cross.

The ball was headed out by Van Dijk.

Because Sterling lost the ball, Manchester City's defense seemed hasty. Bruno walked forward for more than twenty meters before someone came up to block him.

Manchester City's counterattack, after they intercepted Ibrahimovic's pass to Rashford in the backcourt, they quickly passed the ball to the left wing.

When he got up from the ground, Sterling was still lying on the ground, raising his hands to indicate a foul.

Most players will quickly wave their hands to show that they did not commit a foul. Bruno did not do this action. He did not have time to prove anything to others. You must know that this is a good opportunity for Manchester United to attack!

Bruno didn't care about the referee at all. If the referee called him a foul, he would just send it out. If he didn't, he would send the football out and the game would continue!

When you see Sterling lying on the ground, don't you know how to reach out and take the initiative to kick the ball out of the sideline?

Commentators supporting Manchester City had a similar view.

Manchester United's attack!

Bruno dribbles the ball forward along the wing, Valencia protects him, and Rooney supports him in the front. In addition, Ibrahimovic and Gundogan are retreating in the middle. Further away, he can also directly pass the ball diagonally. Look for Luke Shaw and Rashford on the left.

Sterling, who passed Rooney, immediately faced Valencia's blockade. He dunked the football with his left foot, then accelerated forward to pass the ball. Valencia directly tackled the ball, but asked him to jump up and easily avoid it.

Manchester City fans hate Bruno, but Manchester United fans love him.

Usually through this series of fake moves, the opponent is shaken away, but as a result, after Sterling spiked the ball and turned around, he found that Bruno was still lying in front of him. It felt as if he had made a series of moves. It's no use, it's just like standing still.

The commentators supporting Manchester United can only praise Bruno's defensive ability during this period, and he is basically invisible on the offensive end.

So he passed the football to the back and gave it to Kolarov who stepped in, while he moved to the center.

Because no matter from which angle you look at it, this is an impeccable tackle, very clean. Sterling's fall was entirely caused by the inertia of his foot tripping on the football.

Sterling picked up the ball near the midline. He turned his back to Rooney to receive the ball. At the moment of catching the ball, he used the instep of his outside foot to push the football behind him, and then turned around close to Rooney.

"Charge! Bruno! You are invincible! Running all over the field, you are invincible! You are the truth. On the field, let your opponents salute you! Ascend to the throne! The world is in your hands!"

It's not that Guardiola has any tactical and strategic requirements, but their own pride and self-esteem do not allow them to enter the locker room with a 0:1 score.

Rooney made another pass, and Rashford, who was outflanked in the middle, headed the ball towards the goal, and the ball went slightly wide.

Sterling, who passed Valencia, was in front of Manchester United's centre-back. His teammates were running to meet him, which caused a dilemma for Manchester United's defenders. If you go to defend Sterling, the space on your side will be left to Iheanacho, Nolito, De Bruyne and others; if you don't go to defend Sterling, right? Let him dribble the ball directly towards Huanglong, and the result will be the same?

At this moment Bruno rushed from behind at high speed.

They had to equalize before the end of the first half.

………………

Rashford's header was a bit off, otherwise the goal would have gone in directly.

In the third time, Sterling broke through to the outside. This time it was no longer a fake move.

The referee did not fulfill the wishes of the Manchester City fans. He just motioned for Sterling to get up with his hook, and then ran up after Bruno.

Singing praises for your favorite players is a characteristic of Premier League fans, and Bruno, who set a transfer record in football history, has carried the revival dream of Manchester United fans since his first appearance at Old Trafford. They also composed his own "Bruno Song" for him early.

Manchester City did not slow down their offensive momentum just because Sterling was stopped by Bruno. They were still strengthening their offense, attacking and attacking again.

………………

At this moment, in Bruno's mind, every action of Sterling was decomposed very clearly. Every step he took seemed to Bruno like a slow-motion replay. He could easily catch Sterling. Terin's rhythm in dribbling. Then just find the right rhythm and take the right opportunity.

This is Bruno's chance!

The moment before Sterling's foot was about to touch the football, Bruno from the side suddenly stepped down to tackle it!

His right foot was accurately placed in front of the football. Sterling kicked the football, but instead of taking the ball out, he encountered strong resistance.

In fact, in the eyes of this commentator, the referee of this game has long become a "black whistle" favoring Manchester United. Previously, Bruno should have been given a yellow card for his "rude and brutal" tackle on Sterling, but the referee only gave him a verbal warning. This time it went even further and he didn't even call a foul!

Now whenever Bruno gets the ball, more than 2,000 Manchester City fans who come to Old Trafford will boo Bruno. Although their actions had no impact on Bruno, they still insisted on doing so.

He was very fast. When he completed his turn, Rooney realized that it was too late to turn around and chase him.

In order to stabilize the defense, even if it is Manchester United's turn to attack, Bruno will rarely intervene. He only uses passes from various distances in the backcourt to organize and direct the team. He now looks like a real midfielder. .

It's not that they have never done this before, but this is a Manchester City derby. No one can fall behind to their rivals in the same city. Moreover, Manchester United is becoming increasingly lonely and has long lost its former glory.

Sterling waded the football out, and his speed changed. After all, he had to touch the ball and the rhythm could not remain consistent.

"No problem at all! No problem at all! This is a very clean tackle! Bruno's body stretched out and didn't even touch the corner of Sterling's clothes!"

However, Manchester City's ability to grab the second spot was excellent, and the football pushed out by Van Dijk fell to Fernandinho's feet. Fernandinho did not directly take a long shot, but passed the football to David Silva to reorganize the attack.

………………

Manchester City continued to put pressure on Manchester United's defense.

The commentator who supported Manchester City, who had just vowed that it must be a rude, brutal and immoral foul, shut up.

Manchester City escaped, and their fans had even more reason to be dissatisfied with the referee and Bruno. They were dissatisfied with the referee for not calling a foul, and they were dissatisfied with Bruno's rough actions and no sportsmanship at all.

But Sterling can't waste time with Bruno here. Other Manchester United players are coming to him.

Commentators supporting Manchester City also shouted excitedly: "Sterling! Sterling! He passed Rooney and then Valencia! Beautiful! Sterling like this is unstoppable!"

As soon as Fernandinho appeared in front of Bruno, Bruno passed the ball. He passed the football to Ibrahimovic, who came back to meet him. At the same time, he continued to accelerate forward, creating the illusion that he was going to play one-on-one with Ibrahimovic. Come.

However, Bruno almost moved together with Sterling. As a result, after Sterling took the football out, he found that Bruno was also following him, and he was following closely.

………………

He staggered and fell out, leaving the football at Bruno's feet.

"Foul!!" Before the referee said anything, the Manchester City fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, pointed at Bruno on the court and shouted in unison.

With a numerical advantage of dozens of times, the singing of Manchester United fans completely suppressed the boos of Manchester City fans, so that their boos could not even make waves at the Old Trafford Stadium.

Sterling sighed in his heart, knowing that he could not get rid of the opponent this time. If he continued to entangle with the opponent, he would fall into Manchester United's siege.

Manchester City's defense was really disturbed by him, and Ibrahimovic took the opportunity to pass the football to Rooney on the wing.

When it comes to headers, Manchester City is completely at a disadvantage. Neither Iheanacho nor Nolito can get a header in front of Maguire and Van Dijk.

Seeing him pass two people, the Manchester City fans in the stands cheered desperately, and they actually formed a certain momentum in the huge Old Trafford Stadium.

So no matter what, the score must be equalized before the end of the first half.

Of course it would be better if they could reverse the lead in the first half, but at least they have not lost their calm yet and know that some things cannot be forced.
