From the man behind the football king to the football king

Such examples not only occur in small leagues such as the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, but there are many examples even in the five major leagues.

In Serie A, Parma, once one of the seven sisters of Serie A, was also brilliant for a while, and then was immediately divided up by many powers. Buffon went to Juventus, Cannavaro went to Inter Milan, and Thuram went to Juventus, Amoruso went to Dortmund, Conceicao went to Inter Milan, Crespo went to Chelsea, Di Vayo went to Juventus, Veron went to Manchester United...a team has accumulated a few A generation that took ten years of luck to cultivate was just divided up and perished.

An example of the Premier League is West Ham United. At that time, West Ham United's most talented generation, from Ferdinand to Lampard, Carrick, Joe Cole, Defoe, was sold out and West Ham United was relegated in the third year. Although he has already returned to the Premier League and can occasionally act as a spoiler, that's all.

Of course, the most realistic example is Leicester City last season. After this team that created the "Blue Fox Miracle" won the Premier League championship, its main players were targeted by major players. Although their boss tried his best to keep most of the players, with the core defense Kante being poached by the Red Devils Manchester United, Leicester City's performance this season also suffered a sharp decline, and the meritorious head coach Ranieri resigned. .

Obviously, as Leicester City's performance continues to decline, more and more key players will leave. In the next one or two years, this team that once created miracles will lose its former glory.

The reality is so cruel.

Now, after more than ten years of accumulation, Ajax has once again reached the UEFA Cup finals and hopes to win the second UEFA Cup in team history. But in the eyes of many wealthy families in Europe, they saw not a new rising wealthy family, but a delicious feast. They were already holding knives and forks, ready to feast.

That is to say, Manchester United itself is a top giant. Otherwise, with Manchester United's outstanding performance this season, the stars in their team will not be able to escape the fate of being divided.

………………

At this time, the second half of the game has begun.

After the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, Manchester United suddenly launched a fierce attack. This seemed to be beyond the expectations of Ajax coach Bosz. He expected that Manchester United would attack, but he did not expect that Manchester United would be so desperate to attack across the board. Ajax was so unprepared that it was a bit embarrassing.

Kanter passed the football to Bruno who came back to receive.

Bruno knocked the football to Mata and he ran forward himself. At the same time, Bruno's movement also attracted the attention of the Ajax defense.

Mata took advantage of the brief moment when Bruno's movement took away the defense's attention and looked up at the situation in front.

In front, Bruno ran in the middle, and he and Mata completed a cross-change; Gundogan was there on the right, and Rashford was at the front, raising his hand to ask for the ball.

Mata didn't have time to think too much and just flicked his ankle to pass the football. He was looking for Bruno on the left!

Passing the ball to Bruno is not only because Bruno is fast, has excellent foot skills, can pass and shoot, but also because there is Damian on the left.

Bruno prepares to receive the ball, and Ajax player Reid Ward comes up to defend him.

Bruno tried to stop the ball, but instead he picked up the ball.

This move was wonderful. It didn't stop the football, but moved it behind him.

The football dropped and then Damien was seen rushing up.

Ridward came up to defend Bruno, leaving a large space behind him for Damian.

Breaking through with speed is Damian's favorite thing. He directly increases his speed to the highest level and rushes away with the ball.

………………

"Beautiful, Mata's long pass, Bruno and Darmian's cooperation! Manchester United's chance."

Damian's breakthrough caused confusion in Ajax's defense, which hurriedly tilted to the right.

After attracting two Ajax defenders to double-team him, Damian passed the football before the two could form a circle.

Rashford appeared at the front point. He tried to catch the ball, but he missed the ball deftly.

"Missed the ball!"

"pretty!"

Bruno appeared in the middle, and after receiving the football, he walked into the penalty area.

Rashford's missed ball made Ajax's defense even more chaotic. Left back Feltman just pounced on Rashford and could only watch Bruno enter the penalty area.

Fortunately, Ajax center back De Ligt came to fill in. However, facing Bruno who had already entered the penalty area, De Ligt did not dare to take a shot easily. He could only run with Bruno, hoping to force him to dribble. To the dead end.

Bruno, who was dribbling the ball in the penalty area, slowed down and made a fake shot. He raised his foot and put it down again. De Ligt was not fooled.

At this moment, Bruno raised his right foot again, and defender De Ligt sneered. He would not be fooled. Although he is young, he is not a rookie with little experience. The angle was already very small at this time, and he didn't think Bruno would shoot, so he made a defensive move: block his pass.

This action opened De Ligt's wicket. And it was at this time that Bruno shot!

Volley!

The football passed between De Ligt's wickets, and the Ajax center back could even feel a gust of cold wind passing through, which made his scalp numb with shock, and then he realized that something was wrong.

He heard a "pop" sound. Was the football blocked by the post? Then he despaired, because huge cheers followed immediately.

Ajax goalkeeper Onana was completely unprepared for Bruno's shot that flew past De Ligt's wicket. His subconscious save was in vain. The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net!

………………

“GOOOOOOOOOOOALLL!!!!!!!!”

"What a wonderful goal! A blast from a very small angle! Bruno Fernandez, his goal helped rewrite the score to 2:0! Manchester United expanded their lead!"

The cheers above the Friendship Stadium reached a climax.

On the sidelines, there was also ice and fire.

"Damn it!" Boss rushed out of his seat, waving his fist angrily.

The goal he conceded made him angry, not the way it was conceded. He admitted that the goal was scored beautifully, which even left him speechless. What made him angry was that the goal was conceded so quickly.

At the beginning of the second half, Ajax fell behind by two goals, which made all his arrangements and instructions during the halftime break immediately in vain.

"Well done!" Mourinho applauded. He turned to his assistant Faria and said: "Oh, these bastards scored a goal so quickly. The arrangements for the halftime break have to be changed."

Faria glanced at the furious Bosz. He seriously doubted that if Bosz heard Mourinho's words, would this grumpy guy not be able to help but beat someone?

"There is nothing I can do about it. No one thought that Bruno could shoot from that angle and score a goal!" Bosz's assistant comforted him.

"Asshole! Damn it! Shit!" Boss continued to curse in anger.

His assistant was a little confused. Didn't he just lose a ball? The second half of the game has just started and there is still time to play. Isn’t it the end of the world now?

………………

Mourinho glanced here, thoughtfully.

"What do you think?" Mourinho asked.

"Bosch was anxious," Faria said.

"Yes," Mourinho said. "He should be angry when he concedes a goal, but his emotions seem to be a little out of control."

Obviously, Bosz was very impatient, or to put it more bluntly, losing the ball made him unbalanced. The fundamental reason was that this person lacked confidence in leading the team to win the game.

Recalling that when this person was in the Netherlands, he vowed to lead the team to win the championship, Mourinho became even more convinced of his judgment: People who are truly confident tend not to make big talk, but are very low-key. Very simple, like Mourinho.

Originally, he planned to continue to attack after leading 2:0 to see if he could take the opportunity to score another goal and completely seal the victory. However, at this moment, Mourinho immediately changed his mind. He immediately informed the players: defensive counterattack.

"We are not in a hurry." Mourinho said to the team's captain Bruno, "It is the Ajax people who are anxious now."

………………

Fifteen minutes later, the score on the field was still 2:0, with Manchester United leading.

"Manchester United's defense did a good job. Ajax, who was lagging behind, tried their best but could not find a way to score." Rio Ferdinand said, "Kante's performance was too good, although Bruno and Gundogan scored separately, but I think Kante is the one who performed best for Manchester United.”

At this moment, Schone passed the ball to Klassen. As soon as the latter took the ball, he was stabbed from behind. The football was poked away. Then the man stepped forward and successfully blocked Klassen's position. Frustrated, he pushed.

Kanter's body swayed, but he did not fall to the ground. Instead, he quickly shot the ball to find Mata.

"Beautiful! A textbook tackle," Lineker shouted.

"Smart Kante, counterattack is coming, Manchester United's counterattack is coming again." Rio Ferdinand praised Kante's smart choice at this time. He could choose to fall to the ground and ask for a free kick, but in this position There was no threat from the free kick. Kanter keenly grasped this opportunity to counterattack. He did not fall to the ground, but stabilized his center of gravity and quickly released the ball.

Mata's straight ball looks for Bruno in front.

Bruno thought about what to do when he received the ball. He directly poked his toe and passed the ball to Rashford.

The football rolls over and Rashford prepares to shoot.

Meanwhile, Davinson Sanchez has set his sights on the Manchester United striker.

Just when he was about to go around from behind to defend and attack the opponent, although Rashford had long been aware of the situation behind him, he pretended not to notice it.

When the football rolled in front of him, Rashford moved. He knocked the football back with his heel, and he turned around in the opposite direction with Davinson Sanchez as his fulcrum.
