From the man behind the football king to the football king

At 20:45 pm on September 16th, local time in Italy, a focus match of Group B of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League started at the Friuli Stadium. Udinese faced Ludogorets from Bulgaria at home.

In the home team's dressing room at the Friuli Stadium, Guidolin is mobilizing the team before the war.

"I have only one request for this game." Guidolin raised a finger and said, "Win!"

"This is our first Champions League match in nine years. We not only want to win, but we also want to win beautifully!" Guidolin said with an excited expression, "This is our first Champions League group match this season. , let’s start with a beautiful game!”

Captain Di Natale smiled and said: "This game is not easy to play, coach. Ludogorets is a fourth-tier team, and we are only a third-tier team, and we are still a tired team. The state is Not good, this kind of game is the most difficult to play.”

The players burst out laughing when Di Natale said this.

All the players were very excited. Although they didn't know why the coach stopped mentioning the word "learning experience", but what the heck, the coach clearly shouted the slogan "advance to the knockout rounds", which also made everyone excited.

………………

The game started for nearly forty minutes and was very intense.

Therefore, Ludogorets' current task is very clear, which is to prevent Udinese from scoring and try to maintain a tie as much as possible in the first half when Udinese players still have some physical fitness.

But after hearing words like this many times, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart: We are clearly ranked among the top four teams in Serie A for several consecutive years, but we only go to the Champions League to learn experience. It sounds uncomfortable.

Udinese, who had a fierce battle with Juventus just three days ago, the players were obviously not in their best condition.

………………

The last thing is to sit on the mountain and watch the battle between Udinese and Real Madrid.

Udinese goalkeeper Kanizis stretched his leg to block it. Although he touched the football, he was still unable to stop it from flying into the net.

The locker room was quiet at first, then became lively.

Especially Maguire. This English defender played for Udinese for the first time today. His cooperation with Bubonijic is obviously not tacit enough and he is relatively immature. This is an opportunity for Ludogorets!

"Of course not too much!"

"Yeah!"

In the 44 minutes of the first half, Udinese had a 70% ball possession rate, 13 shots, but no goals. The visiting team Ludogorets only counterattacked twice and shot twice, but they took a one-goal lead!

Seeing the Ludogorets players hugging each other and cheering wildly in celebration, the Friuli Stadium was booed.

The players were in an enthusiastic mood. The starting players went to the players' corridor to gather, and the substitute players also went to the bench happily.

In that case, when the Udinese players' energy is exhausted in the second half, then Ludogorets' chance will come!

As for Bruno, George Delmenchiev was also well prepared. The solution he came up with was that the key to defending Bruno was not Bruno, but other Udinese players.

Bruno took a tactical corner kick, and Di Natale came out of the penalty area to respond. He tried to pass Ludogorets defender Minev, but was intercepted from the side by the captain Diakov who was defending.

Everyone has discussed this, and the general view is that the coach is keeping a low profile to reduce pressure on the team.

Judging from the odds issued by the betting company before the game, although Udinese is favored, the advantage is not obvious.

Who says Xianyu doesn’t have dreams? George Delmenchiev dares to think and do!

………………

"Coach, just watch!"

0:1!

"0:1! Ludogorets, who played away from home, took the lead, a beautiful counterattack! Maguire was passed too easily, and Udinese's defense was directly torn apart."

Ludogorets immediately launched a quick counterattack. They didn't put much effort into the offense, but the offense advanced very quickly, passing halftime in just three passes and two kicks.

After all, Udinese, who had just fought hard with Juventus three days ago, was really not in good shape. In addition, except for Di Natale, basically none of the players in the team have played in the Champions League, and everyone is under great pressure.

After falling to the ground, he spread his hands and complained to the referee about the foul. The referee ignored him, he was running, because Ludogorets immediately launched an attack after stealing the ball.

"Not too much!"

In the view of their head coach George Delmenchiev, if Ludogorets wants to qualify, Udinese is the most direct opponent.

Ludogorets head coach Georgi Delmenchiev, who appeared on camera, celebrated a bit wildly.

Friuli Stadium, Udinese vs. Ludogorets, Udinese's "Champions League debut" after nine years.

During the warm-up before the game, Danilo suffered a muscle strain, and he had to send Maguire, but the British performance could not satisfy him. Ludogorets' limited one or two counterattacks were all hit. Regarding Maguire, the British are quite embarrassed.

"Who said that?" Guidolin glared at Di Natale, "We are a strong team in Serie A, and we are rushing to hit the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Playing against a Bulgarian team, do I want a beautiful victory? Too much?"

For Ludogorets, it may be difficult for them to qualify from the group, but this Bulgarian team still has dreams.

………………

…

He came to the conclusion that Udinese's strength is indeed better than Ludogorets, especially Bruno Fernandez, a super genius who is currently in the limelight in European football, is even more difficult to guard against.

"In the meeting between the two new Champions League teams, Ludogorets turned the tables and took the lead. This also tells Udinese that there are no weak teams in the Champions League! No matter who the opponent is, there is a possibility of losing if you are not careful!"

Forty-three minutes into the game, Udinese had a corner kick opportunity.

What's more, what pleased George Delmenchiev the most was that he found that his judgment was correct.

The head coach of the Bulgarian giants team's setting is that the team can draw with Udinese on the road, strive to win at home, and then win as much as possible against Basel in two rounds.

Udinese at home is very offensive, but Ludogorets in the away position is also very accurate in their positioning, which is defensive counterattack. If they can get a draw, they will win. If they can sneak attack and take away a victory, That is simply a gift from God.

By curbing the performance of the entire Udinese team, the threat of a tired Bruno will be greatly reduced!

………………

Facing the fast Ludogorets forward Bejako, Maguire made a reckless move, but was passed by the opponent in a change of direction. Bubonijic covered the defense, and Bejako crossed the ball, and Ludogor followed up. A beautiful miss from Dogorets midfielder Misidyan was followed by a low shot from Ludogorets forward Nasntu at the back post.

Guidolin frowned.

…

However, Ludogorets also has an advantage, and that is his physical advantage. They are recharging their energy, but in terms of physical reserves, they are far behind Udinese, who have just experienced a bloody battle with Juventus.

Ludogorets almost return to defense with the whole team and will not press out easily. Even when counterattacking, they will pay special attention to their own defense and will definitely leave enough defensive personnel in the backcourt. Their head coach George Del Menkiev was very cautious and pragmatic.

"0:1! Udinese is behind! The Bulgarian team celebrated wildly at the Friuli Stadium. Their head coach George Delmenkiev said before the game that they came to the Friuli Stadium with ideas. Now his team has given Udinese a slap in the face!”

It is said that a random punch can kill a master. Ludogorets is indeed not as good as Udinese in terms of physical strength, but they have the upper hand in physical fitness. When the time comes, they can hold down Udinese and punch them randomly, and maybe they will be able to do it. Woolen cloth.

In the Serie A match with Juventus that just ended last Sunday, although Udinese drew with the Serie A class tyrants in the away game, the drain on Udinese was also obvious. The Italian media was also worried about Udinese's performance in the Serie A. Physical condition during the game.

As for Ludogorets, they dominated the Bulgarian League, and the Bulgarian Football Association also specially adjusted the league schedule and postponed the league that was supposed to be played last weekend, just to ensure that Ludogorets can Have plenty of physical energy to go shopping with Udinese!

George Delmenchiev carefully studied Udinese's game video, especially the video of Udinese's 2:2 draw with Juventus in the last round of the league.

In terms of offense, or specifically in terms of counterattack, coach Ludogorets also has his own wishful thinking.

Moreover, Udinese had just had a tough battle with Juventus, and the players were physically exhausted. Under such circumstances, they may not be able to take advantage against Ludogorets, who is recognized as the weakest player in the group.

At least this game is 50-50!

………………

As for the two-leg match against Real Madrid, it is acceptable to get a draw at home, even if it is a small loss.

In the past two days, Guidolin said every time he faced the media that Udinese was a new team in the Champions League and the purpose of participating in the Champions League was to learn. As for advancing to the knockout rounds, that is not something Udinese should consider now, because there are super giants Real Madrid in the group, and the Swiss team Basel, which is very experienced in European games.

Udinese's two central defenders starting today, Maguire and Bubonijic, are both tall and tall, while Ludogorets' offensive players do not have an advantage in height, but they are short, flexible and fast. , playing behind Udinese, there is still a chance to succeed in a sneak attack.

The coach of the Bulgarian team jumped three feet high on the spot, then ran wildly and ran past Udinese coach Guidolin.

Facing the crazy celebration of the opponent's coach, the Udinese coach's face was ashen.
