Mission = Win Premier League

Cedinho faced the biggest shock of his life when he was rejected by Portugal for the World Cup.

I mean, he couldn't believe it.

At the last Euro, Cedinho literally carried Portugal, scored in the final, even the penalty, and won them the trophy.

And for them to get kicked out of the Portugal team for no apparent reason, especially since at Chelsea his stats were incredible,

Yes, he couldn't win the Premier League.

But Cedinho still had 33 goals.

That too from a new camp position.

I still couldn't believe that Cedinho had to watch the World Cup from his couch.

But at least he was enjoying it.

Look at him post.

Portugal is losing 3-0 against Argentina in the World Cup.

Romo's legit wearing Argentina slippers, man.

And look at how happy he was with the popcorn and everything.

But you know what?

Cidinho is still sad about this Portugal snub.

And he's decided to make a huge decision.

Calling even a press conference.

I'm officially retiring from Portugal.

They clearly don't deserve my services.

That's right, boys.

Cidinho doesn't want to play for Portugal anymore.

He's just also said that the World Cup is not his dream anymore.

He's won the Euros and he's happy with it.

Now all of this Portugal drama was taking a big mental toll on Cedinho.

And that's why he wanted a fresh start.

And somehow the only big club really interested in Cedinho.

Manchester United.

A bit controversial moving from Chelsea to United.

But you know that Cedinho loves a bit of controversy.

And yup he signed for the Red Devils.

It's a completely fresh start.

And now Cedinho has only one goal.

Winning the Premier League.

The trophy he couldn't win last season.

He wants to win it now.

The

Problem is, his boss is Ruben Amirim.

And in this shocking Man United tactical system, it ain't easy.

Although Cedinho is back to playing as a striker, he's scoring goals for United as well.

But winning the Premier League for them, man, it's going to be his biggest challenge yet.

Guys, I'm not kidding when I say that winning the Prem with United is going to be impossible.

Look at where we are.

Sixth right now.

Six points behind Liverpool.

But I do feel like Cedinho is doing everything he can.

7 goals in 12 games so far.

But he needs to be doing more.

We need to get that overall up as well.

And also, since we don't really have European football, I think everything needs to go in trying to win the Premier League role.

Especially after retiring from international football, Cedinho needs to respond by winning the big one.

The Premier League.

Hold on a minute.

What on earth have I unlocked?

Why is this even in the game?

These heart-shaped glasses.

Is this in honor for Pikipikol?

Wait a minute.

Cedinho and Pikipikol, their drama is over now.

I want to just try this out in game and just see how it looks.

Wait, am I actually going to wear these glasses in game?

Bro, I look stupid, man.

This is a new low for Cedinho.

What on earth is he up to?

We're only going to do this for one Premier League game.

Maybe it gives me more vision and I can actually score more.

Oh my God.

What is this?

But you know what?

The celebration wearing these glasses are going to hit different.

I swear, man, if only we had a different manager here at Man United, things would have been so much better because this five at the back system that we have, we just barely even keep the ball on most occasions.

And because of that, my rating gets cooked, bro.

5.4, it's just diabolical.

Get that son of a... Up the field right now.

Out.

He's fired.

Oh, if I can get there first.

No, I can't.

Was it the silly glasses slowing me down?

I don't think so.

I'm literally having to drop deep to try and link up with my teammates, bro.

It's gotten that bad.

Although finally a bit of space here.

Bradley Barkle.

I'm making a good run.

I need the ball and this could be it.

Cedinho getting it on my right foot, but come on.

Being at Man United, this is something we're now going to have to live with.

That we're not going to have many chances every game.

The team is just incapable of creating opportunities.

Oh, I've made a really good run though and I've controlled it nicely.

But come on, man.

How do I not convert that?

Is it because I've been used to playing as a cam before?

My finishing needs to be more clinical there.

Although from a set piece, it's above the crossbar.

And look at how stupid I look with these glasses, man.

Although this is good.

Finding a bit of space with my left foot.

We needed that.

I'm so glad I upgraded my weak foot to three star.

And look at Cedinho celebrate with the glasses.

Sixth Premier League goal of the season.

Oh, Cedinho couldn't look for the pass.

It was really nice.

Bradley Varkala with the goal, but offside.

For a second, I thought we'd unlock some connection here at Man United.

This is probably the last time I'm wearing these glasses.

But hey, we're retiring these silly glasses with a win at least.

All right, there goes the glasses.

You know what, boys?

Now that we're at Manchester United, I think Cedinho needs to lay off the cold celebration.

Now, I have selected a new signature celebration for our time at Manchester United.

Hopefully, we'll be doing it soon on the pitch.

Uh-oh, and look where we're heading next.

A Manchester derby.

And oh man, Cedinho has locked in before this game.

And I think I know why, because there's Erling Haaland right there.

And here's Cedinho trying to dribble past him.

Oh man, this rivalry is going to feed generations.

I think there's nothing more than Cedinho wants to, of course, beating Haaland, taking home the Premier League trophy over him.

I know it's early days, but the rivalry begins here.

Manchester derby.

We're finally getting into good rhythm and good form, despite Ruben Amorim's tactics.

So let's make the most of it here.

Already Bruno doing well, looking for Cedinho.

Getting a bit of space.

And didn't strike it well.

But Ahmad.

No, he's offside.

Oh, Cedinho wins that.

It's a big mistake from Manchester City.

Cedinho's shot.

No, it's saved by Donnarumma.

Can't lie, boys.

13 minutes in.

It's been one of the most locked-in performances from Cedinho so far.

He's losing the ball, but they still keep it.

Oh, could be a chance here.

Bradley Bakula for Cedinho.

Proper chance.

And he nails the finish.

Are we going to see his signature celebration?

Oh, and he wants to throw hands at Erling Haaland.

Fair enough.

This is the kind of form Sirinho needs if he wants to take United to Premier League glory.

Oh, what a ball for Sirinho.

I think he's onside.

No Donnarumma.

Cedinho was on there.

He should have converted.

But not gonna lie.

Again, City, we've been playing so well.

Could be a goal from this chance.

I still have the ball.

Our tackle in the end.

But so far, it's been a 10 on 10 match rating.

Down the wing goes Cedinho.

And the dribbling has actually been really good as he looks for space here.

Maybe a chance to shoot gets blocked.

Angel gets the ball again and again.

A shooting position for Cedinho.

And he does not make a mistake.

This is turning out to being one of his best ever Man United performances.

Ninth Premier League goal.

Could we actually dunk a hat-trick on Erling Haaland's head?

That would be revenge for all the picky-pickle drama he caused.

Oh, and this could be the hat-trick moment as we've managed to break through.

The angle is difficult and Donnarumma.

I'm still gonna try, bro.

Five minutes left.

Can we push for that hat-trick?

It could be the best response we give to Erling Haaland.

Ah, but we couldn't.

To be fair though, a brace against City in the derby.

You know what?

I'm now starting to feel that Ruben Amarim's tactics are working.

Cedinho, of course, classic flip-flopping.

But this is good, bro.

A result like this could maybe get us back in the title race.

Bro, we're actually fully back in the title race.

Second in the Premier League right now.

Six points behind Liverpool.

But we do have a game in hand.

Okay, it's going to be a tough game against Everton because somehow they're fourth in the league.

But we do have a proper chance.

Also, bro, I don't think there's a better footballer on the planet compared to locked in Cedinho.

Look at him, man.

Top scorer of the Premier League right now.

11 goals in 13 games.

And let's keep the momentum going as Cedinho is broken through.

He uses his strength to shield the ball.

The keeper stops him.

But yeah, from minute one, it looks like we're completely locked in.

Glade off the line.

Uh-oh, I think I can see why this Everton team is decent.

They managed to get in behind, but our defense is good.

You'd expect that with a five at the back system.

Come on, man.

Second half, we need to push for the goal against Everton.

I don't want to be dropping points.

We've got such good momentum.

Okay, I've made a good run here.

I need to get the ball back inwards.

And let's see who I can link up with.

This is good.

Cedinho now finding a bit of space.

And there's the space.

He's managed to break through.

Goes for a cheeky chip off the post.

Are you mental?

The bad luck for Cedinho, man.

Crazy.

This is good.

This is good.

I managed to get the ball.

Cedinho.

Oh, that's a much better finish.

The post denied him earlier on.

But this time he gets the goal.

Oh, this is good.

Cedinho going for goal from distance.

But for some reason, man...

I feel like I'm a box merchant.

I can only score from inside the box.

Oh, the link-up play and Cedinho gets the finish right as well.

That should wrap this game up.

Not gonna lie, boys.

It's starting to feel like Cedinho's on a generational run.

Guys, we're really piling up the pressure on Liverpool.

Just three points behind, but we just keep having tough games, man.

We're facing third place Spurs.

But yeah, we just got to do what we keep doing.

Getting those wins.

Oh, that's a lovely release from Cedinho.

If he can get the ball back, Ahmad.

Oh, the link-up play.

And I think Cedinho is onside if he can control the ball.

He's got the strength to push off the defender.

Keeps going, yeah.

Cedinho.

The finish is absolutely sensational.

So much power behind it.

Bro, I think this is the best version of Cedinho.

And it's taken so long to get here.

It's

inset clubs like Aston Villa, Sporting, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid.

Disappointments everywhere.

Heartbreak as well.

A World Cup snub.

But I think from all of that, Sirinho has learned massively.

And this version is absolutely ridiculous because he can play the passes as well.

And he can also make these crazy runs in behind.

Look at him now try and set up Bradley Parkola.

This should be a simple goal for the Frenchman.

And he bottles it.

But you can't blame Cedinho for that.

He's having an incredible game.

Okay, second half.

We cannot take it easy.

We need to be pushing for the second goal.

Oh, the dribbling.

The dribbling from Cedinho.

And that should be it.

And the finish.

What was that?

He's furious with himself.

Oh, this could be good.

This could be good.

The header.

I need to be getting those on target.

Oh, well, I could maybe wrap this game up with a goal here.

Cedinho on his left.

But again, the keeper stops him.

They suppose they've got an injured player.

But do we care?

Absolutely not.

We're going to keep pushing for maybe a second goal.

Cedinho super low on stamina.

But yeah, I think he's done.

Now the rest of the team needs to carry Cedinho while he just conserves energy.

But you know what?

Even with no stamina, one thing Cedinho wants is more goals.

He keeps running.

And across has been asked for Cedinho.

You can't win the header.

But that's full time.

Another crucial Premier League win.

We're now on December 31st.

Almost in January.

And look where we are in this title fight.

Three points off Liverpool.

Three points above my former club Chelsea.

Which is good to see.

Shows we made the right decision.

But our next game boys is a trip to Anfield.

We're facing Liverpool.

And this is Cedinho's chance to close the gap down.

Announce himself as a contender for the Premier League title this season.

And look who we've got in the stands for this game, Sir Alex Ferguson.

The greatest manager in Man United's history is out here supporting Cedinho.

That's what's up.

Although in a pre-match press conference, he was asked if Cedinho is the best striker in Man United history.

He scoffed and replied he's coached players like Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Van Persie, Wayne Rooney.

But he did say that Cedinho is on the level of players like Javier Hernandez.

That is honestly a bit disrespectful from Sir Alex Ferguson.

He does not rate Cedinho that highly, but will change his mind.

We put in a good shift here against Liverpool.

Get the win.

You bet heads are going to be turning.

Liverpool, though, are the Premier League leaders.

They kind of don't need to win this game.

As long as they get a draw, they're going to keep their three-point lead up top intact.

It's going to be about us pushing and trying to get those chances.

So far, though, 10 minutes in, we haven't even touched the ball.

We

Now we're getting involved.

Senior pushing off the player there.

Looking for a pass for Ahmad.

He was literally tripped there.

Referee.

Oh man, Liverpool are just frustrating us in this game.

Not giving the ball.

They know what they need to do.

Okay, Cedinho needs to just be patient.

Stay in his position.

The ball will come.

Chances will come.

But right now...

Lewis, Diaz, what is he still doing at Liverpool?

Did they sign him back?

And now it's Florey and Buds.

Into Graven, Buds.

Liverpool right now dominating us.

And I do not like this.

Chance maybe for Woods.

Isaac.

But we managed to win the ball.

Okay, we now need to make the most of it.

Bakula.

But he gives it away like that.

That is not how we're gonna beat Liverpool.

This is for sure feeling like Cedinho's toughest battle yet.

But he's managed to slide that one through for Amar Diallo, who releases it for Cedinho.

No, I couldn't get there first.

No, I accidentally hit the chip button.

That should have been Cedinho's goal.

At halftime, we squandered a massive chance.

But okay, we still have a second half.

Still a lot to play for here.

How costly is that missed opportunity going to be for Cedinho, man?

We could have been in the lead and that would have completely changed the dynamics of how Liverpool are playing.

Usually in a title race like this, you'd be nervous.

But I think this time around, Cedinho kind of knows what to expect.

He was in a title race last season with Chelsea.

I'm hoping that experience can help get him through.

But right now, Liverpool's quality is what's making the big difference.

They've got Arda Guler in their team.

Look at them link up.

We are defending well.

That's the positive.

Bakula's got it.

I need to be making a lovely run into the box.

Asking for the ball from a set-piece chance.

But Murillo had me covered.

This has been one of my worst performances in a long, long time.

A 5.9 match rating.

Oh, loose ball.

Cedinho gets that.

He's gonna shoot with his left foot.

And that was a mistake.

Oh, they've given the ball away.

But no, the ref blows the whistle.

That is literally illegal, man.

Cedinho would have been 100% through.

And with his record, you know he would have converted.

What on earth has the ref done?

We've just been robbed, boys.

We have absolutely been robbed there.

Robbery of the highest order.

Oh, man, it looks like Liverpool have dropped a few more points.

The gap is now just one point.

Cedinho is back and being the top scorer as well.

We're totally back in this title race.

And hang on a minute.

We've now got 32 attribute points to, of course, use.

I'm wondering what can we really boost to make Cedinho more OP.

I need to make my short passing good because that would make a big difference while just passing the ball.

And that actually improved my overall.

So that's good.

I think stamina is something we need to improve, bro.

Let's just get it up to like 76.

And I guess we could put the rest of the points and stuff like reactions because I know that's a very important stat for a striker.

And I guess a couple on like attack positioning.

But yeah, slowly but surely, Cedinho is recovering his overall.

I feel like we'll never really get back our peak overall.

Just because we got kicked out to a new position.

And now Cedinho has only one mission in his life.

Winning the Premier League title.

And next episode, he could make it happen.
