Chapter 544: The Winning Streak Ends (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)

When the whistle of the end of the game sounded, Bruno knelt on the grass of the new Wembley Stadium. He wiped the sweat from his face with both hands, closed his eyes, and felt the roar from the stands.

It was obviously not for him, but he still enjoyed the atmosphere.

Manchester United's 24 consecutive wins at the start of the season and 25 consecutive wins across the season were ended by Tottenham tonight!

The final score was 2:2. Tottenham's counterattack in the 88th minute of the game broke through the Manchester United goal guarded by De Gea.

When Bruno didn't stop Ali with a shovel, he knew that Tottenham's attack was successful.

In fact, although Valencia tried to make up for the position after Bruno failed to shovel, he failed to stop Ali's pass.

Before being entangled by Valencia again, the Tottenham genius made a large-scale transfer and sent the ball to the left where there were no Manchester United defenders.

Trippier, who was advancing quickly, controlled the ball before Luke Shaw, and then sent a high-quality cross, which was scored by Tottenham center Morata.

In the remaining minutes, Manchester United failed to surpass the score again, and the winning streak ended.

But Bruno did not feel regretful, or painful or sad. Because when Manchester United won the first game of the new season, they knew that they would not win one day, or even lose.

In fact, being able to win 24 games in a row in the new season has far exceeded Bruno's expectations.

………………

In such a nearly crazy winning streak, Manchester United even suppressed Manchester City, which played like a dream, which made Bruno feel like he was in a dream.

As a time traveler, Bruno knew how strong Manchester City was this season, because they became the first team in the history of the Premier League to score three digits this season and set eight Premier League historical records.

However, with Manchester City playing so well, the Manchester United led by him firmly suppressed Manchester City in the standings, and even achieved a 10-point lead before this round.

He really can't ask more of the team and his teammates.

Everyone really tried their best!

Just like this game, the eleven people on the field have tried their best to the last moment, and he can really say that he has no regrets.

Even the most picky fans in the world should not question him and Manchester United.

What's more, even if the winning streak is ended today, they still have an 8-point advantage in the standings.

With only thirteen rounds left in the league, defending the title is a high probability.

………………

Of course, Bruno also thought about Tottenham's quick counterattack. If his shovel was successful, or if his action was bigger and knocked Ali down directly, would Manchester United maintain the winning streak.

Bruno is not sure, but one thing is certain, as long as Ali chooses to fall to the ground at that time, or if his action is bigger and knocks Ali down directly, he will definitely get the first red card in his career.

And after he was sent off, whether Manchester United, who played with ten people, could block Tottenham's impact in the remaining few minutes is also unknown.

Moreover, if you get a red card directly, you will be suspended for three games. Manchester United's next three domestic games, including two league games and one FA Cup fifth round game, will face Huddersfield and Newcastle respectively.

Although both teams are newly promoted, they are not easy opponents to deal with. Bruno doesn't know whether the team can beat them if he is suspended.

Bruno shook his head and drove these thoughts out of his mind.

It is difficult to change what has not happened and what has happened, so don't worry about it.

………………

As the captain of the team, Bruno got up from the ground and immediately walked over to greet his teammates.

Manchester United players on the field and on the bench all came to the corner stand where the fans were. Everyone stood in a row and thanked the fans in the stands.

This is the rule of away games.

Fans follow the team to the away game, and the players should give them some thanks after a game.

Although Manchester United's winning streak was terminated, the Manchester United fans in the stands were not disappointed, but gave encouragement to the players, using their applause and cheers to tell all the players that they were very satisfied.

Although Tottenham used to be Manchester United's point-giving boy, Tottenham has risen quickly in recent seasons, and no team can guarantee victory against them.

In today's game, Tottenham played very well, and it was not easy for Manchester United to keep a draw away from home.

The players also applauded the fans and thanked them.

Bruno stretched out his right hand vigorously and shouted loudly: "Come on!"

All the players formed a circle and stretched out their hands, overlapping each other.

"Manchester United..." Bruno shouted.

The players responded in unison: "...Come on!"

………………

Seeing the united momentum of Manchester United players, not only the Tottenham fans in the stands looked at them, but even Tottenham's head coach Pochettino, coaching staff, staff and players were also surprised.

"What a good player!" Pochettino shook his head and sighed.

"What?" Jesus Perez was a little confused.

What does this sentence without a beginning or an end mean?

"We have always believed that Manchester United's ability to achieve such results in the past two seasons is directly related to their strength, but more is due to luck, especially this wave of 25 consecutive victories. But from this scene just now Look, this result is inevitable.”

When Pochettino said this, he added: "I really envy that guy Jose for being able to coach Bruno. Not only is this guy a superstar who can compete with Cristiano Ronaldo and Yossi, his ability to lead and charisma, he is also destined to reach great heights.”

After hearing this, Jesus Perez thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded and said with some emotion: "This season's Premier League champion will probably belong to Manchester United again."

Pochettino shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not only this season, but for a long time to come, Manchester United may dominate the Premier League."

Perez looked at Pochettino in surprise, wondering why the other party said that.

Pochettino said: "You pay attention to the ages of these Manchester United players. Captain Bruno is 23 years old, Harry Kane is 24 years old, Rashford is 20 years old, Mbappe is 19 years old, Gundogan is 27 years old, and Kante is 27 years old. Years old, Luke Shaw is 22 years old, Van Dijk is 26 years old, Maguire is 25 years old, and De Gea is 27 years old. Valencia is older, over 30 years old, but Cancelo, who came on as his substitute, is not full either. 24 years old."

Perez was silent after hearing this. It was only then that he noticed that most of the players in this Manchester United were just entering the golden age of professional players. As long as this team is retained, Manchester United will really dominate the Premier League for a long time!

Manchester United is already a top powerhouse. As long as there is no internal strife, there is almost no possibility of the team breaking up.

………………

"This is a game divided into two." Pochettino gave a final summary of the game at the post-match press conference. "We played very well in the first half and we completely controlled the game. , but in the second half we played very nervously and passively. We tried hard to control the ball, but the result failed.”

The Tottenham coach said: "Maintaining a high level from beginning to end during the 90-minute game should be a pursuit engraved in our souls, not just looking at the score on the scoreboard."

Pochettino believes that the team's psychology and stability need to be strengthened, and he was puzzled by the poor performance in the second half.

"We have enough advantages, rhythm, determination, ball control, attack... We are better than our opponents, but we have not been able to seal the victory, especially at the new Wembley Stadium. Our current state is also Not bad, this obviously requires us to summarize and be vigilant.”

Mourinho, who was sitting aside, noticed that Pochettino mentioned many factors, but never mentioned physical fitness. Perhaps, Tottenham's head coach knew his goals very clearly from the beginning. Where is the team's problem?

It's just that he doesn't want to make this public.

Pochettino also specifically mentioned Bruno, thinking that he showed a very high level of competition tonight and determined the trend of the game. Although he did not score a goal, he was leading Manchester United forward in another capacity.

………………

Mourinho agreed with Pochettino's view. He said: "He is a player that no head coach will refuse, because he always puts the interests of the team before personal interests. He is the best player I have ever seen. "The most professional player ever and I'm proud to coach a player like him."

As for this game, Mourinho thinks there is nothing to say.

"Tottenham played a high-level game today. We struggled a bit in the first half, but our players showed courage and determination in the away game. The 2:2 score is the best proof of the situation on the field. "

Regarding the problems exposed by the team in this game, Mourinho did not give too much cover. He believed that the team's defense did have some problems, and the players' performance was not stable enough.

"But here, I want to remind everyone that our starting lineup today is very young, only 24 years old. Many of our main players would be rookies at best if they were placed in teams in the four major leagues."

"So, we need to give the players more patience and protection, and at the same time, encourage them for their mistakes instead of blaming them. I am proud and proud of my players' performance in this game."

Regarding Mourinho's neither humble nor arrogant remarks, the media at the scene also gave a burst of warm applause.

"I believe that in the next games, my players will show better performance and condition to prove themselves!" Mourinho's sonorous remarks once again attracted a burst of applause.
