From the man behind the football king to the football king

Although the draw result of the Champions League knockout round makes Udinese very satisfied, the thing that Udinese people are currently thinking about is not the Champions League knockout round. After all, that is two months later.

What Udinese needs to do now is to play well in the league and score as many points as possible before the Champions League knockout rounds arrive, or before Juventus reacts.

Over the weekend, the 15th round of Serie A begins.

In a game that started at noon on Sunday, Juventus was unexpectedly tied 1:1 by Sampdoria at home. This allowed Udinese to still lead Juventus by 1 point with one game in hand. .

This result is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Udinese to widen the gap with Juventus.

Half an hour after the game ended, Udinese welcomed Verona at home.

After receiving the ball, Widmon quickly drove the ball forward.

His dribbling attracted Verona midfielder Christodolopoulos to grab the ball. Vidmon made a sudden stop, and then tried to pull horizontally, attracting Christodolopoulos to stretch his foot to intercept. , but it was a push from the arch of the foot.

As the Verona players celebrated their goal, Udinese captain Di Natale called his teammates together.

With Marquez's sudden pressure, Di Natale was immediately in an offside position.

Especially combined with his arrangements during the halftime break, it will give the players an invincible confidence!

Cancelo glanced at the team captain and raised his right foot.

At this time, Di Natalefo said sincerely: "Why panic! The coach said during halftime that Verona might score first. Let's not panic. Just do what he said."

Guidolin stood on the sidelines. When Cancelo passed the ball, he stood on tiptoes, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and stared in the direction of Verona's goal. He saw Cancelo sending a diagonal pass, and saw Marquez Quess caused an offside, saw Di Natale offside, and saw Rodriguez trailing behind. He saw Bruno crossing Rodriguez, facing the rolling football, and fired a low shot - into the net!

The Udinese head coach suddenly took his hands out of his trouser pockets, raised his arms high, and ran excitedly to celebrate. Well done!

"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!! He scored his 12th Serie A goal this season!" Dilita Leota shouted excitedly, "For most players, they are a It’s not always possible to score 12 goals in a season, especially for a midfielder, but the 20-year-old Portuguese did it in only 15 games!”

But then Udinese scored 2 goals to take the lead.

“GOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!”

"Offside!" Hammarquis raised his hands and shouted.

After Christodoropoulos scored, Udinese quickly launched a counterattack. However, they failed to achieve results in several consecutive attacks.

………………

2:1, Verona, playing away from home, overtook the score!

………………

Having coached Udinese for almost five years, Guidolin has brought this mid-to-lower Serie A team to the current championship contender position. He already has extremely high prestige in this Udinese team. .

Di Natale shouted, trying to stabilize the morale of the army. Losing the ball so early would more or less make the Udinese players panic.

Guidolin began to think about making substitutions from time to time.

Udinese fans in the stands of the Stadio Friuli jumped to their feet.

Guidolin immediately issued an order to the Udinese players: This game must be won!

1:0, Udinese takes the lead at home.

Udinese right back Cancelo broke in at high speed.

In the 15th minute of the game, Palombo passed the ball, Udinese goalkeeper Kanizis hit the ball not far, Obiang pushed into the empty goal, and Sampdoria led 1:0 at home.

In the 79th minute, Udinese launched a continuous attack on Sampdoria. Heiho's header hit the post, but the rebounded football was grabbed by Bruno and scored from close range.

Just when Udinese fans thought that the team would enter the halftime break with a 1:0 advantage, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

However, until the first half entered stoppage time, Udinese still did not wait for the second goal.

Then, the expressions on the players' faces changed. Those who were flustered became much calmer. They were already relatively calm, but now they have returned to normal, and even looked like "I'll kill you."

In the 60th minute, De Silvestri made a pass and Gabbiadini scored with a header. This was his second consecutive goal. It may also be the last time he plays for Samp. He may move to Naples in the winter window.

However, the referee's whistle did not sound. The referee was running and the linesman was also running.

Just when Guidolin asked French forward Taylor to get up and warm up, Udinese scored!

Two Verona players cooperated in the midfield, but Kanter suddenly made a move and stole the ball midway.

Bruno runs to celebrate the goal.

At this moment, Cancelo passed a diagonal ball.

The running Bruno was intercepted by captain Di Natale, who hugged him, hugged him, and finally pushed him down to celebrate.

Christodolopoulos broke through and volleyed from the right, and the ball went from the crotch of goalkeeper Kanizis into the near corner.

Di Natale follows up in the middle, raising his hand to signal for the ball to be passed to him.

Verona defender Marquez rushed up quickly, not to intercept, but to cause an offside.

The stadium in Friuli cheered loudly at this moment.

3:2, Udinese takes the lead!

This was the last goal of the game, and Udinese finally defeated Verona at home with a score of 3:2.

Guidolin's expletives came as he found out he had a bad mouth as Udinese conceded the goal in the first minute of the second half.

This also allows Udinese to lead Juventus by 4 points in the standings after 15 league rounds!

………………

Although Guidolin was annoyed by the conceded goal, he did not blindly criticize the players during the halftime break. Instead, after giving everyone a simple warning, he began to arrange tactics for the second half.

When Udinese finished their pre-match warm-up and returned to the locker room, they knew the result of the game between Juventus and Sampdoria.

In the 31st minute, Udinese youngster Koné passed the ball back from the baseline, and Heihuo scored his first Serie A goal with an instep shot from 5 meters in front of the goal.

Finally, Guidolin comforted the players: "Even if Verona recovers a goal in the second half, don't panic. If we play according to our established plan, we can still win at home."

Tony, who scored, held up a T-shirt with the word 300 written on it to celebrate his 300th career goal.

"Not offside! Rodriguez is in the back!" The commentator of the local TV station in Udine stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly.

After Verona withstood Udinese's offensive, they also stabilized their position and began to counterattack.

"2:2! 2:2! Udinese equalized the score quickly!" Udinese's local radio commentator shouted, he was emotional, "Great Udinese, great Portuguese! Team The young man who spent 25 million euros to bring to Udinese helped the team once again, well done, Bruno”

………………

The goal was scored by veteran Di Natale.

After taking the lead, Udinese continued to attack Verona's goal, hoping to expand their lead in the first half.

Verona's morale was indeed severely damaged by Udinese's goal. In Udinese's subsequent fierce offensive, Verona was exhausted, and finally was defeated by Udine again in the 77th minute of the game. Ness captured the city.

F**K!

On the sidelines, Guidolin had returned to the coaching bench and sat down. Bruno's goal gave him a lot of peace of mind. The score was quickly equalized in less than 5 minutes after falling behind, which greatly improved the morale of the Udinese players.

………………

In the first minute of stoppage time, Verona made a quick counterattack. After a simple pass, Christodolopoulos assisted, and Toni shot with his left foot from the center of the penalty area. The ball flew into the goal from the upper left corner.

This goal was conceded, on the one hand, because Toni's shot was really exciting and hard to guard against, and on the other hand, it was also because the Udinese players were mentally lax, giving their opponents an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Don't panic!"

The 40,000 Udinese fans in the stands of the Stadio Friuli couldn't believe their eyes.

Four days later, Udinese ushered in the last round of Serie A before the winter break.

Three minutes later, Cobruno took a corner kick and Danilo headed over.

1:1, Verona equalized the score.

This is really demoralizing!

The players listened to the captain's words, but it's hard to say what the effect will be.

Amid roaring cheers, Bruno, who had already formed a one-man goal, fired a low shot. The football passed by Benusi's left foot, continued to roll, and rolled into the net.

Since there was a fierce battle just four days ago, and Udinese will face Juventus in the Italian Super Cup three days later, Guidolin made some rotations for this game. Di Natale unexpectedly served as a substitute, and Swiss forward Alex Heho, who had just been waived by Udinese, started for the first time in Serie A.

At the same time, Verona's head coach was cursing on the sidelines. He was just about to take advantage of the momentum of the lead to launch an offensive wave and try to seal the victory as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Udinese's counterattack after a steal was successful. .

On the left, Bruno appeared in everyone's sight. He rushed past Rodriguez, who was half a beat too slow to react, and rushed in front of the football.

………………

"Bruno Fernandez!"

Under Guidolin's order, Udinese played very strongly at home. Even though Verona performed very tenaciously, they were still defeated by Udinese in the 31st minute of the game.

Then, Kanter made a diagonal transfer and sent the football to the right. There, Verona's left back had just pressed out to support the attack. At this time, he saw Udinese aiming at him for a counterattack, and he quickly braked and chased back.

Udinese won again with a score of 3:2.

This victory means that Udinese will enter the winter break with a 4-point advantage over Juventus.
