From the man behind the football king to the football king

After Bruno hugged his teammates to celebrate the victory, he walked to the sidelines and thanked the fans cheering for him in the stands.

Following his actions, the Manchester United fans in the stands continued to shout "Bruno".

"Bruno! Bruno! Bruno!" They kept shouting the hero's name in the cold wind. Some fans even threw away their down jackets in excitement, took off their tops, exposed their breasts, and waved vigorously to the rhythm of the shouts. holding arms.

As one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football, even the most successful club, Manchester United has produced many superstars in its history. For example, the three saints of Manchester United, such as King Cantona, such as the stars of Class 92, such as Roy Keane, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney...

These superstars all belong to their respective eras. They are all the darlings of Old Trafford, the theater of dreams, and have won the love of countless Manchester United fans.

As the core of this Manchester United midfielder, Bruno also used his near-perfect performance to lead Manchester United forward five months after joining Manchester United. He occupied the first place in the standings from the beginning of the season, allowing the team to sink in the trough. After three years, Manchester United saw hope of revival, and he conquered all Manchester United fans and became the new king of this stadium.

The reporters laughed.

Besides Rooney, Gerrard has retired and Robin van Persie has left the Premier League.

It can be seen that Bruno is truly unique in the Premier League this season and has a dominant advantage.

………………

Perhaps, this is the so-called "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers"?

………………

However, in order to cope with the intensive Christmas schedule, Mourinho made extensive rotations in Manchester United's starting lineup.

When a reporter asked him what he thought of Bruno's remarks, he was very calm and just said: "Every player has the right to express his own opinion. I have nothing to say about this."

A minute later, Rashford made a breakthrough pass from the left, and Ibrahimovic volleyed into the net from close range. However, the referee Lee Mason ruled that the Swede had fouled the goalkeeper first, and the goal was invalid.

Five days later, on December 31, it was still three o'clock in the afternoon, still at Old Trafford, and another game started.

The fans in the stands also shouted with him: "Forward, Manchester United!! Forward!"

The reporters didn’t press any further. On the one hand, it is worried about annoying Mourinho, a real madman, on the other hand, it is because Manchester United has just won the ball and achieved nine consecutive league victories.

In the 85th minute, Bruno made a long pass, Ibrahimovic headed the ball, and Rashford shot into the net from 10 yards, helping Manchester United take the lead again.

Bruno thanked them for their support. He waved upwards, then clenched his right hand into a fist and slapped the team logo on his chest.

When the game reached the 38th minute, Manchester United also missed a must-goal opportunity. Bruno used a coquettish no-look pass to find Rashford. Manchester United's supernova shot from 30 yards, but the football unfortunately hit the left post.

Why not ask Mourinho what is the secret to such success!

Middlesbrough missed another scoring opportunity in the 18th minute of the game. Traore broke through the right side of the penalty area and made a pass. Flanders volleyed from 12 yards from the left side of the penalty area but was blocked by Fellaini in time.

"I know some people have been doubting us, and we will prove it to them. We will win the next game, we will still win the next game, and we will still win the next game. We will always Win, as Mr. Mourinho said, we are not here to compete for the Champions League, we are here to win every game!”

All four back line members were rotated, with Ashley Young, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw forming the other back line; the midfield trio were also all replaced, with Fellaini, Herrera and Gundo An replaces the combination of Carrick, Kante and Mata. Bruno and Ibrahimovic continued to start, forming a trident with Rashford.

The initial shock was quickly followed by relief and they laughed.

………………

Because he knew that Chelsea was also expanding its winning streak, Mourinho was not as arrogant as Bruno. He only praised the team's performance at the post-match press conference.

Manchester United continued to press in the second half and occupied an absolute advantage on the field, but it was Middlesbrough who scored first. In the 67th minute, Chambers made a pass from the right, Negredo headed the ball over, and Ridbett shot a low shot into the far corner from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area, helping Middlesbrough equalize the score.

Middlesbrough missed an opportunity in the 3rd minute. Traore intercepted Herrera in midfield and formed a 3-on-1 counterattack opportunity. However, he broke into the arc of the penalty area but chose to miss the shot.

These fans not only support him because of his attitude towards fans, nor just because of his professionalism, they support him just because he plays football well and leads the team to excellent results.

It is worth mentioning that the three players who have won the Premier League Player of the Month more times than Bruno are all legends in Premier League history.

Of course, Bruno also has the confidence to speak like this. After all, he has scored 23 goals and assisted 11 times in 18 Premier League games, led Manchester United to 17 victories, and led the standings with a 5-point advantage when the schedule was about to be halfway through.

Mourinho said: "I don't want to put too much pressure on the team. We will see if we can win consecutively after a few league rounds."

Even Rooney, the only one who is still in the Premier League, has reached the end of his career and his form has plummeted. Now he has even lost his starting position under Mourinho.

This is the Blues' 12th consecutive victory in the Premier League!

While Manchester United continued to win, Conte's Chelsea was not left behind.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Middlesbrough 3:1 at home and won ten consecutive league victories.

In a word, their Premier League Player of the Month data is basically impossible to increase.

After bidding farewell to the fans, Bruno walked towards the locker room. In the mixed interview area, he was stopped by many reporters. They must let the man who won the Premier League Player of the Month for four consecutive months say a few words.

In the 86th minute, Mata, who came on as a substitute, made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Bruno, who was unguarded, headed the ball into the upper right corner from 10 yards, locking the score at 3:1.

Throughout the history of the Premier League, only three players have won more awards than him, namely Gerrard, who won the Player of the Month six times, and Van Persie and Rooney, who won five times.

The Premier League Player of the Month award was established in the 1994-1995 season. Bruno won the Premier League Player of the Month award four times, tying him with legendary Premier League players such as Henry, Bergkamp, ​​Ronaldo and Aguero.

Manchester United finally knocked on Middlesbrough's door in the 14th minute. Rashford made a cross from the left, and Gundogan headed the ball back to the goal. Unguarded Bruno hooked the ball from the edge of the small penalty area and scored his 76th goal in 2016.

And for Manchester United, today is also a very important day. Their godfather Sir Alex Ferguson turned 75 today!

However, Manchester United still locked the Premier League half-time championship one round ahead of schedule.

Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack, and Ibrahimovic's shot was blocked by Middlesbrough defenders. Gundogan took a corner kick, and Fellaini headed the ball from 10 yards into Valdes' arms.

But Bruno is a newbie. After all, this is his first season in the Premier League.

………………

In such a game, Manchester United naturally hopes to win a victory, or even a big victory.

"We are in good momentum." Bruno just came out of the exciting scene and spoke confidently, "I think we can be regarded as a favorite team to win the championship."

This is also Manchester United's final game in 2016.

Yes, Manchester United's lead in the standings is still only 5 points, because while they defeated Sunderland, Chelsea also defeated Bournemouth 3:0 at Stamford Bridge.

In fact, Bruno is also the only player in the history of the Premier League who can win the Premier League Player of the Month award consecutively, and even won this award for four consecutive months.

Of the 11 starters who played in the Boxing Day battle, only De Gea, Bruno and Ibrahimovic are left.

The reporter asked again: "So do you think Manchester United can continue to win?"

As the time left in the game was getting less and less, many fans thought that Manchester United would usher in the first draw of the season, but Manchester United scored two goals in just two minutes.

He avoided this sensitive topic.

"Go, Manchester United!" He was infected by today's hearty victory and the fanatical atmosphere on the scene, and couldn't help shouting.

………………

More than that, Bruno has basically locked in the best of the Premier League in December, because he has scored 7 goals and assisted 3 times in 5 Premier League games in December, both of which are the highest among Premier League players, and Manchester United has also won five consecutive victories under his leadership.

His victory declaration stunned the reporters present. No one expected that Bruno, who has always been low-key, would say such confident words.

In this case, it is really meaningless to dwell on this topic.

Manchester United continued to attack, but Rashford and Ibrahimovic's shots both slipped out of the goal. Gundogan and Rashford were violated by Middlesbrough players in the penalty area and fell to the ground. They were also ignored by the referee Lee Mason, which attracted boos from Old Trafford.

This is the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United vs. Middlesbrough.

At this point, the first half of the Premier League has ended. Manchester United has won 18 games and lost 1 in 19 games, breaking Chelsea's record of 17 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 52 points in the first half of the Premier League with 54 points.

Bruno scored twice, locking his number of goals in 2016 at 77, and his direct participation in the number of goals reached 122, ending his perfect but regretful 2016.
