Chapter 712 Respect

Bruno won the best player of the match again!

In the first round of the match between the two sides, he scored a hat trick at the Camp Nou and won the best player of the match.

And tonight, at the Millennium Stadium, he was once again elected the best player of the match with a double goal.

He scored five of Manchester United's seven goals, raising his personal Champions League goal tally this season to fifteen goals, leading the Champions League scorer list.

Bruno can feel that his state is indeed very well adjusted.

Stable training, self-disciplined life, and challenging goals make it easy for him to get into shape.

Not only him, but also Manchester United.

Bruno said at the beginning of the season that he would defend the Champions League, and Harry Kane and Maguire and others were also eager to defend the Champions League.

And now, not only did they eliminate Barcelona with a big score of 7:1 in the Champions League quarterfinals, but they also kept suppressing their two arch-rivals Manchester City and Liverpool in the league. All this gave Manchester United hope.

Sometimes, professional players are in this way.

………………

"Hey, Luis."

Bruno walked up to Suarez, took the initiative to extend his hand, shook hands with the Barcelona superstar, and gave him a polite hug. This was his demeanor as a winner.

"You performed better. Your targeted defense was too good." Suarez shrugged helplessly.

Bruno smiled lightly and said, "We had more time to prepare. During this period, we practiced how to restrain you almost every day, but you still threatened us many times."

Bruno's statement was more of a hope that the opponent would feel better.

"Anyway, congratulations, you have a good chance this year." Suarez encouraged.

Bruno nodded and said, "Thank you."

"Be careful Cristiano, I feel that he is in very good condition recently." Suarez reminded with a smile.

"Juventus? They may have advanced to the semi-finals." Bruno thought to himself.

But Suarez should not know the situation of the game in Italy yet.

Perhaps at the end of the first leg, Juventus had the upper hand with a score of 1:1 away from home, but who knew they would lose 1:2 at home?

………………

In recent years, Juventus is definitely a strong team in the Champions League.

In the 2014-2015 season, they reached the final, but lost to Udinese led by Bruno in the final; in the 2015-2016 season, they stopped in the round of 16 and lost to the powerful Bayern Munich in overtime; in the 2016-2017 season, they reached the final again and encountered Real Madrid under Zidane, and ended up losing 1:4. Last season, the old lady stopped in the quarterfinals, and the opponent was still Real Madrid, but the overall strength was still recognized.

Last summer, Juventus ushered in the new king of football Cristiano Ronaldo, and the purpose was naturally to hit the Champions League title again.

But from the group stage, Juventus's performance is not particularly eye-catching. They are in the same group with Manchester City, Valencia and Young Boys of Switzerland. Juventus has four wins and two losses, ranking first in the group, which can only be regarded as qualified.

In the round of 16, after losing 0:2 away in the first leg, they reversed the game at home with Ronaldo's hat trick in the second leg and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Suarez said that Ronaldo is in good shape, and Bruno believes it. But when it comes to how good Juventus is, Bruno really can't see it.

Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Juventus still has overall strength. Players such as Dybala, Matuidi, Bonucci, Pjanic are all very strong. After adjustment, they may not be uncompetitive in the Champions League.

However, who would have thought that Juventus, which has Cristiano Ronaldo, would overturn after returning to their home court after the first leg with Ajax tied 1:1, and was defeated 2:1 by the unknown Ajax, and was eliminated?

However, Bruno knew that what he really had to worry about was Ajax. This young team led by young people advanced to the top four of the Champions League this season by stepping on the bodies of the two top giants Real Madrid and Juventus.

Manchester United is in a very good state now, but they must also be careful.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is Bruno's usual style of doing things.

………………

Yosi is obviously not as interested as Suarez. Not only because the team lost the game, but also because he was completely frozen by Luke Shaw in both rounds of the game.

This English full-back can't be said to be very strong, but the most important thing is that he is very balanced, without any obvious weaknesses, and he is conscientious and focused on the court. It is really not easy to get rid of him every time.

The Argentine superstar returned to the team with the halo of a savior. Everyone expected him to lead Barcelona out of the current predicament, but Yosi's performance in the two rounds against Manchester United was disappointing.

And the result was also unacceptable. Barcelona stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, becoming brothers in distress with the two Madrid giants who were eliminated in the round of 16.

In the round of 16, the Galacticos defeated Ajax 2:1 away in the first round, and it seemed that the situation of advancing to the quarterfinals was very good, but in the second round, they returned to their home court and suffered a 1:4 defeat. The Dutch giants exposed a shocking upset and eliminated Real Madrid.

As for Atletico Madrid, they were also defeated in the second round despite having a big advantage in the first round. Fortunately, their opponents were the powerful Juventus and Ronaldo, which made them look better.

It was really unexpected that none of the three Spanish Super League teams, which were once extremely powerful, made it to the Champions League semi-finals this season.

While his performance was sluggish, Bruno shined, scoring five of the seven goals. It can almost be said that he eliminated Barcelona by himself, which made Yosi, who always regarded Bruno as a competitor, very depressed.

………………

They competed secretly and fought to the death on the court, but off the court, when they were face to face, Yosi still tried to be kind, smiled and congratulated Bruno, praising him for his very good performance.

Bruno was not the kind of person who liked to kick someone when he was down. Although he didn't like this guy, he didn't say anything out of line, but gave his opponent enough respect, saying that Yosi also put a lot of pressure on Manchester United.

In fact, this was not wrong. Whether in the first round or the second round, Yosi can be said to be the most threatening player in the Barcelona team.

But unfortunately, he met Luke Shaw. Bruno himself practiced with him in training, so he naturally knew a little about how strong this player was. Very comprehensive, very balanced, good defensive attitude, focused in the game, very focused, such a player is very difficult to deal with.

If Luke Shaw used to have a very serious glass attribute, his situation has been greatly improved in the three years since Bruno joined Manchester United.

With his stable performance, Luke Shaw has entered the ranks of top stars.
