From the man behind the football king to the football king

When the draw results for the Europa League semi-finals came out, Udinese fans were dumbfounded.

Obviously, this is the worst result!

Compared with Sevilla, which is currently fifth in La Liga, and Valencia, which is eighth, Juventus, which dominates the Serie A standings, is obviously much stronger!

What makes Udinese fans even more desperate is Udinese's next schedule.

At this point in the season, the entire schedule has basically been released.

Judging from the current situation, Udinese will play at least 9 games this season, and at most 10 games.

In these 9 or 10 games, Udinese will face Juventus 3 times and Naples 2 times.

On the evening of April 14, Udinese faced Juventus at the Friuli Stadium in the 33rd round of Serie A.

But when Bruno's foot hit the football, it was not a rub shot from the inside of the foot, but a volley from the instep!

On the premise that Udinese defeated Juventus in the Europa League semi-finals, they will usher in the Europa League final on the evening of May 14, facing Valencia and Sevilla at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. winner.

This is the real death race!

Five days later, at noon on April 19, Udinese continued to face a strong opponent at the Friuli Stadium. This time it was Naples. This was the 34th round of Serie A.

As a result, even if Udinese loses to Juventus on Monday night, Juventus will not be allowed to hold a championship celebration at the Friuli Stadium.

At this time, Udinese's final results this season will be finalized.

Now, Udinese's strength has improved because of Bruno, and Guidolin also wants to experience the atmosphere of the Champions League.

The 33rd round of Serie A with Juventus was a very tangled game for Udinese.

………………

Having just decided the winner in the Europa League semi-finals with Juventus, Udinese will rush to Rome non-stop to compete with Naples for this season's Coppa Italia championship at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on the evening of May 3.

Bruno passed the football directly to Muriel, then he stepped forward and signaled Muriel to pass the football back.

And Juventus, who successfully defeated Udinese, a strong rival, is only one step away from winning three consecutive Serie A titles.

Then on the evening of April 24, still at the Friuli Stadium, Udinese's opponent changed to Juventus. This was the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

If possible, Guidolin also hopes that Udinese can play in the Champions League next season.

Four days later, on the afternoon of May 10, Udinese ushered in the 37th round of Serie A and challenged Verona, the dark horse of Serie A this season, as a guest.

Therefore, Bruno, who wants to see the Champions League, will never allow the team to lose to Naples at home.

Even five days after this game, they will face Juventus in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

Therefore, Guidolin decisively chose to give up in this seemingly very crucial Serie A match. The two core players, including Bruno and Di Natale, were not unexpectedly exempt from the competition in this game.

Udinese then launched a fierce attack on Naples' goal. In the 63rd minute, Muriel received Bruno's pass and scored another victory for Udinese.

………………

2:1 Udinese reversed the score!

In the 81st minute, it was Bruno again. Under a close pressure from his opponent, he sent a through ball in an awkward posture. Muriel received Bruno's through ball at the line of the penalty area. , chose a lob, and the football went over the head of the attacking Naples goalkeeper Reina and fell into the goal!

"3:1! Udinese has completely sealed the victory! After sending out 2 assists today, Bruno's number of assists in the league has reached 21!"

This conceded goal made the Udinese players wake up.

After the game started, Udinese's players seemed a little distracted.

Udinese recovered and began to return to normal, but because there was not much time left in the first half, they failed to equalize the score before entering the halftime break.

Finally, on the evening of May 18th, we will face Sampdoria at the Friuli Stadium, ushering in the final game of the season.

Udinese will then travel to Turin for back-to-back games.

"Coupled with his 7 assists in the Europa League and 2 assists in the Italian Cup, Bruno has already had as many as 30 assists this season, which is unique across Europe! And by the end of the season At that time, his total number of assists is likely to exceed last season’s 32 times!”

Udinese wasted a chance and suffered a blow in the 38th minute. Zapata threw a throw-in, and Callejon volleyed in the penalty area to break the deadlock.

But when will the goal come?

………………

After Bruno scored, the Udinese team returned to normal.

In the first half hour, Udinese failed to score. In the 31st minute, Badu missed an excellent shooting opportunity that was close at hand.

They celebrated the goal wildly in front of Naples' goal.

With his back to the direction of the attack, Muriel leaned on the Naples player who was guarding him, and then pushed the football sideways.

Faced with Bruno's request for a fight, Guidolin only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to his request.

At this time, it was too late for Reina to turn his center of gravity and attack the near corner. He could only freeze in place and watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding.

"Bruno——!!" The DJ at Friuli Stadium shouted Bruno's name in a long voice, and the stands were filled with roars and tsunamis.

He turned his right foot sideways and kicked the football!

Looking at this action, Bruno wanted to kick the football to the far corner. He is very good at this way of scoring goals. So when Naples goalkeeper Reina saw Bruno falling backward, he expected that Bruno would definitely kick the ball far this time. Corner, he shifted his center of gravity to the far end.

1:0, Napoli took the lead in the away game and overtook Udinese in the real-time standings, rising to third place.

After scoring the goal, Bruno turned around and wanted to celebrate. As soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by Muriel. His jersey was almost torn. Then Bruno was thrown under him by Muriel. More players rushed up and pressed him. on them.

After the start of the second half, Udinese's performance became much more normal. In the cheers of Udinese fans at the Friuli Stadium, they also firmly controlled the situation.

On the afternoon of May 6, Udinese will face Bruno’s old club Novara at the Friuli Stadium in the 36th round of Serie A.

They will continue to suffer.

Even if Udinese successfully survived the death match from April to early May, it does not mean that they have escaped.

………………

And if Udinese can defeat Naples at home, they can expand their lead to 5 points, which is very critical for competing for next season's Champions League qualification.

If Udinese loses to Naples at home, not only will it suffer its first three-game losing streak in the league this season, but it will also be overtaken by Naples in the standings and fall out of the Champions League.

Fortunately, Roma is still pretty good. In Saturday night's home game, they defeated Atlanta 3:1.

These two games, the game with Turin is the 35th round of Serie A, and the game with Juventus is the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

After 33 rounds, Udinese has 20 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, ranking third with 66 points; while Naples has 19 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, ranking fourth with 64 points.

If Roma loses to Atalanta at home in this round and Juventus wins Udinese at the Friuli Stadium, Juventus will lead Roma by 16 points with only 5 league rounds left. .

After 32 league rounds, Juventus has scored 84 points with 27 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, while Roma, ranked second, has 21 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses, with only 71 points, 13 points behind Juventus.

"Bruno!! Beautiful performance!" the commentator of the local TV station in Udine shouted excitedly.

As long as they defeat Bologna at the Allianz Stadium in Turin in the next 34th round of Serie A, they will win the championship 4 rounds in advance!

At the same time, if Udinese wants to enter the Champions League next season, they will usher in the battle against Naples in the 34th round.

At this time, Udinese is actually short of a goal. As long as there is a goal, everyone's mentality can be restored to normal and the game can be on track.

The result is that Juventus will win this season's Serie A championship at the Friuli Stadium!

This will be a heavy blow to Udinese!

The goal that can bring everyone back on track finally appeared!

………………

Udinese's success or failure this season will be determined in just 19 days!

19 days, 6 games, each game is a heavyweight opponent, a life and death test for Udinese, and they can be called life and death battles.

At noon on April 27, Udinese challenged Turin at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, and then challenged Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on the evening of May 1.

Udinese, who lacked two core players, unexpectedly lost to Juventus with a score of 0:2.

In the 54th minute, Udinese controlled the ball outside Naples' penalty area and the football fell to Bruno's feet.

"This data may still be far behind Bruno's 32 assists in Novara last season, but now he is playing in Serie A instead of Serie B!"

Bruno received the ball on the line of the penalty area. He made a gesture to shoot, but he deceived Naples defender Fernandez. He gently flicked the football to the outside with the instep of his left foot, past the opponent, and entered the penalty area!

The stands of Friuli Stadium also burst into loud cheers!

After dodging Fernandez, Bruno dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing a swarm of Naples players rushing up, he did not choose to pass the football to anyone, but shot it himself!

The football was whipped to the near corner by him, and the speed was very fast!

In the past two seasons, Udinese, who could have played in the Champions League, was eliminated in the play-offs due to lack of strength and had to play in the Europa League.

"In addition to this, he has 17 league goals and 11 Europa League goals."

"From Serie B to Serie A, the difficulty of the game has increased by more than one level, but whether it is goals or assists, he has more goals and assists than last season and performed better. I have to say that Bruno is really a phenomenal player!"
