Mancini walked up and down the sidelines, he was restless. He didn't expect Udinese, which has always been known for its offensive football in Serie A, to play so conservatively.

Mancini originally thought that Guidolin would continue his previous style of play in this game. For this game, Mancini was well prepared and had a lot of experience in attacking against Udinese, but Unexpectedly, this time, Guidolin was scared.

Faced with Udinese's almost rogue conservative style of play, neither Mancini nor Inter Milan had any good solutions.

Thirty minutes into the game, the total number of shots taken by both sides was only five, including one shot by Udinese and four shots by Inter Milan, most of which were long-range shots. This shows how boring this game is on the offensive end.

"Goal." Mancini said to his assistant, "You must score in the first half, otherwise the second half will be even more difficult."

The assistant nodded with deep understanding. It can be seen from Udinese's conservative tactics that Udinese's goal today is to be satisfied with just one point in the away game. If the first half of the game ends with a 0:0 result, this will only stimulate Udinese. Ness coach Guidolin continues to insist on this boring conservative tactics.

Maybe it was the 1:0 lead, or maybe it was because the first half was about to end. Udinese players were a little relaxed. In the 44th minute of the game, Inter Milan got a free kick in the frontcourt. , Medel's free kick went into the penalty area, Guarin's header went back, Icardi succeeded in countering offside, and pushed into the near corner with his left foot from the edge of the small penalty area on the left.

"This was an unexpected goal. Widmund forced Kovacic, who hurriedly released the ball. Kante and Medel went up to grab the ball. Medel made a sliding tackle. The football unexpectedly flew towards the Inter Milan half, and Bruno got the ball. Afterwards, after advancing the ball for a certain distance, he suddenly took a long shot before the Inter Milan defense was surrounded, and delivered a fatal blow in the 37th minute of the first half! Udinese took the lead 1:0 in the away game! "

The locker room burst into laughter.

"Guidolin and Udinese can accept one point from Meazza away from home." Stankovic said, "Because Juventus was tied with Fiorentina in the away game yesterday, so even if Udinese Ness can only get one draw, and they can still bite Juventus in the standings.”

After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Bruno was still negotiating with the referee on the way to the locker room. He emphasized that the ball was suspected of being offside.

The equalizer boosted Inter Milan's morale.

"I'm sure." The referee said with a serious expression.

The Udinese players were celebrating a goal. Bruno ran towards the away team's stands and made encouraging gestures to the Udinese fans. He was then surrounded by his teammates.

At this time, the camera showed a close-up of the fans in the stands. A hot blonde female fan yawned widely and was about to fall asleep.

"What are you thinking? A dog caught your eyeball?"

"Don't forget, our opponent is Inter Milan. Don't think that just because we beat them twice, we don't take Inter Milan seriously!"

Before the start of this game, Juventus had been tied 0:0 by Fiorentina in the away game, which made Udinese only 1 point behind Juventus with one game less.

Udinese broke the deadlock with their second shot of the game!

In the remaining few minutes of game time, the game reached a deadlock.

The referee told Bruno that he could see clearly that there was no offside.

In the end, neither side was able to score again in the last few minutes of the first half, and the game ended at 1:1.

Mancini glanced at Guidolin from a distance with some irritation. This old guy's tactics were extremely conservative. Is this guy really satisfied with the score of 1:1 and didn't even think about counterattack?

The second half of the game begins.

Bruno nodded and said: "Well, I believe you. As we all know, you are a very good referee who is worthy of trust."

With this smile, the tense atmosphere in the locker room suddenly disappeared.

In the end he couldn't help laughing himself.

Mancini said he was going to score, and then the goal came.

………………

"The focus of our attack is -" Guidolin drew a circle on Medel's name on the tactical board, clicked it several times, and then said seriously, "Force him. Attack him."

Inter Milan midfielder Medel is a versatile player who is good at both offense and defense. Although not tall, Medel has a strong body and abundant physical fitness. His style on the court is similar to the Italian player Gattuso, so he also received the nicknames "Chilean Gattuso" and "Bull".

………………

"Press him, focus on him, break him down, make him forced errors. Use all legal means to provoke him," Guidolin said.

"Bruno Fernandez——!!! Beautiful long shot! This is Bruno's signature way of scoring goals!" Beautiful anchor Leota shouted excitedly.

………………

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!"

It has been too long since Udinese has been at the top of the table after a round of games!

Guidolin said with a serious face: "Of course, if we really can't win, a draw is acceptable. But I will never accept a loss. We are a team competing with Juventus for the leadership, and we are ranked lower. Defeat, I can’t afford to lose that person!”

Guidolin stared at the players and said loudly: "Why are you laughing? I'm serious. Be serious."

Huge boos broke out at the Meazza Stadium. Inter Milan fans were far from friendly towards Bruno and Udinese.

No player is truly perfect, let alone Medel. While it has many advantages, Medel also has obvious shortcomings.

In the 37th minute of the game, the goal finally appeared, but it was not Inter Milan that scored, but Udinese.

Under such circumstances, if Udinese can defeat Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium, they will lead the standings with a 2-point advantage.

In Guidolin's view, Medel's shortcomings are that his shooting skills are relatively average, his ball protection is average, his ball handling speed is slow, and his positioning sense is relatively poor.

"Medel has a strong ability to pass the threatening ball. Don't give him a chance to get the ball easily." Guidolin said.

Hearing this, the referee, who was a little unhappy at first, smiled.

After finishing the tactical arrangements, Guidolin smiled and said: "Beat Inter Milan, we will be the top team!"

"Although there is no evidence that Bruno was provoking Inter Milan fans, his celebrations obviously did not like San Siro." Leotta shook his head and said.

Udinese head coach Guidolin was very dissatisfied with Udinese conceding the ball at the last minute of the first half and harshly rebuked the Udinese players after returning to the locker room.

This Portuguese boy is not only good at playing football, he also has a good attitude on the court, and he also speaks very nicely. He is really a likeable young man!

………………

Guidolin knocked on the table and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. The defense needs to review the ball that was lost. When the ball was lost, the concentration was obviously not enough."

"The game was very dull, and the fans almost fell asleep." Leota shook his head and said, "This game was broadcast live in nearly 80 countries and regions around the world, but this dull scene may disappoint the fans."

When Guarin took off, Danilo, who was guarding him, did not take off at all. He watched Guarin successfully ferry. When Icardi shot, there was no one guarding him. Erto, who was closest to him, only focused on lifting the ball. Hand, he signaled Icardi was offside.

After criticizing the players, Guidolin began to lay out the game tactics for the second half. He said to the Udinese players: "We are not satisfied with the 1:1 score, and Inter Milan is even more dissatisfied. Therefore, in the second half of the game, Inter Milan will still strengthen its offense. And we will still solidify our defense first, and then beat Inter Milan." Fight back."

Without incident, the referee determined that Icardi was not offside and Inter Milan's goal was valid.

Bruno could see clearly that when Guarin headed the ball, Icardi was indeed not offside, but this did not prevent him from protesting to the referee: What if the referee really believed it?

As a defensive midfielder, Medel has excellent ability to block the ball. Coupled with abundant physical fitness and a strong body, he has a record of successfully marking Messi at his peak on the defensive end.

Amidst the boos, Bruno jumped up and down on the sidelines and clapped happily, which obviously stimulated the Inter Milan fans even more.

"Are you sure?" Bruno asked with a puzzled look.

As expected, Inter Milan took the initiative to attack, but facing the Udinese defense with four strong sweeping abilities in the midfielder position, Inter Milan's offensive was quickly contained.

No matter how unhappy Mancini is, the fact is that it is like this. Udinese behaved very conservatively, and Guidolin seemed to be really focused on keeping the 1:1 score and was satisfied.

On the offensive end, Medel has strong shooting power, excellent header ability and wonderful passing skills. He knows the importance of passing the ball accurately to his teammates, and of course he can also pass the ball that breaks the opponent's defense.

In addition, and most importantly, at the mental level, his bad temper caused his state to fluctuate greatly, and his carelessness caused him to often make passing mistakes and have the ball stolen from his feet.

Facing Inter Milan's offensive impact at the last moment of the first half, Udinese chose to defend with all its strength.

………………

Guidolin has focused on Inter Milan, and the key player he studied is Medel.

………………

The game was dull, but Guidolin was very comfortable sitting there. He was in a happy mood when he saw Inter Milan repeatedly returning without success. Especially when he saw Kanter stopping Inter Milan's attack, he nodded and applauded with a look of satisfaction.

The director specially gave him a close-up, which I believe will make Inter Milan fans dislike this person even more.
