From the man behind the football king to the football king

In Bruno's opinion, the Champions League grouping is considered good by the outside world, but it is recognized by the outside world as the death group, because the strength of these four teams is almost the same, and it is impossible for anyone to easily qualify.

Originally, as a seeded team and the defending champion of the Champions League, Udinese's strength should be the well-deserved number one in the group. However, due to Udinese's heavy blood loss this summer and their lack of success in signings, their strength has declined severely.

As for the second-tier Manchester United, the fourth in the Premier League last season and a veteran top club, although their performance was not very good in the two seasons after Ferguson retired, their strength is unquestionable. In the second season of coach Louis van Gaal leading the team, the outside world is still relatively optimistic about the Red Devils' performance in the new season.

As for third-tier Wolfsburg, last season's Bundesliga runner-up, their strength is naturally not weak. Although they lost core midfielder Kevin De Bruyne this summer, the team also made considerable gains in the transfer market, and their performance in the new season is still worth looking forward to.

CSKA Moscow, as a traditional giant in the Russian Super League, is also not an unknown person.

Generally speaking, although there are no super strong teams in this group, the real difficulty lies in the fact that their strengths are not much different from each other, because anyone can qualify, but anyone can also be eliminated.

After the draw results were released, many gambling companies, including William Hill, offered odds. Barcelona became the team with the highest odds of winning, followed by Bayern Munich, followed by Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester City. and Manchester United.

The Udinese fans in the stands were completely excited.

"Now everyone is looking forward to whether Bruno can lead Udinese to continue to win honors such as the league championship and the Champions League after staying in the team, and whether he can reproduce the outstanding state and momentum of last season."

Udinese continued to strengthen their offensive, especially in the frontcourt. Bruno created a lot of threats, forcing Palermo to invest heavily in defense in the middle. But in this way, Udinese's two wingers were able to frequently have the opportunity.

Bruno also played relatively restrained in this game. He did not blindly launch a direct offensive on his own. He used himself as a bait to attract the opponent's defensive attention and let his teammates participate in the attack.

But even so, Bruno quickly created a threat.

Juventus and Roma, who directly advanced to the Champions League, also entered the group of death.

Udinese then pressed forward aggressively.

"Only seven minutes into the game, Bruno scored Palermo's goal with a wonderful direct free kick. This was definitely a painful blow to Palermo."

After the draw results came out, Guidolin, Di Natale and others all smiled bitterly, but they were not afraid.

In the end, Udinese ended the first half with a three-goal lead.

A minute later, Bruno shot a long shot thirty meters away from the goal, but it was obviously higher than the goal.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. Iachini took the lead in making substitutions and adjusted the team's defense in the hope of stabilizing the position. And this did play a certain role, especially in the first half hour, Palermo defended well.

This was also Bruno's first appearance after winning the UEFA Player of the Year award last season, and his debut at the Friuli Stadium. When he followed the team out of the tunnel, all the Udinese fans in the audience Everyone was chanting his name and cheering for him.

"A great free-kick straight into the goal from Bruno Fernandez!"

Subsequently, Udinese continued to strengthen the pressing pressure on Palermo, and also increased the offensive intensity in the frontcourt.

Udinese is considered to be in the group of death, and the luck of several other Serie A teams is not much better.

This change made Palermo's defensive players miserable, because they simply did not dare to relax their vigilance against Bruno.

………………

As for the defending champion Udinese, the odds offered by major gambling companies in Europe are all between eighth and tenth. It is obvious that they are generally looked down upon, even inferior to Juventus. The Bianconeri are basically ranked seventh.

However, after Palermo took the goal kick, it was quickly intercepted by Udinese. Itura passed a diagonal pass to the left. Bruno did not stop the ball, volleyed directly with his left foot, and sent the ball into the penalty area. In the top area of ​​the front arc, Taylor followed up and volleyed slightly wide.

First, Widmont got the ball on the right and passed in. Maguire quickly inserted into the penalty area and headed the ball wide.

Bruno raised his hands and clapped, responding to the Udinese fans' love for him, but he looked very relaxed and jumped a few times on the court. There was no tension at all before the game.

However, it can also be seen from this odds that although the major betting companies are not optimistic that Udinese can win the championship again, there is still no problem for the team to advance to the knockout stage.

Lazio was eliminated in the play-offs by last season's Bundesliga third-place finisher Monchengladbach and could only play in the Europa League. This caused the Serie A team to lose a Champions League seat before the season even started.

Eight minutes in, two goals ahead, what a fantastic start!

In the 70th minute of the game, Struna uprooted Bruno Fernandez and was sent off for a total of 2 yellow cards. In the last 20 minutes, he had to face ten men.

But with the referee's whistle, Bruno quickly sent out a penalty. This time he didn't even run away from Itura.

When the game reached the seventh minute, it was an attack instigated by Bruno. Cancelo crossed into the front of the penalty area and passed it across to Itura, which caused Palermo to foul Itura and gave Uruguay the ball. Dines had a free kick opportunity at the edge of the penalty area.

Bruno's goal completely ignited Udinese's passion.

………………

In the penalty area, Taylor headed the goal from close range, 2:0!

As Bruno has frequently succeeded in free kicks in the past two years, his reputation for free kicks has become more and more famous. This makes Palermo not dare to be careless at all. They carefully set up the wall and goalkeeper Sorrentino kept following. Teammates communicate and direct the movement of the wall, trying to create a defensive formation that is most beneficial to them.

Not long after Bruno and his team returned to Italy from Monaco, Udinese ushered in the second round of Serie A this season. Udinese sat at the Friuli Stadium to face Palermo.

Palermo's defensive players have personally experienced Bruno's sharpness before, and they did not dare to be careless at all. They appeared extremely cautious from the beginning of the game, for fear of making any mistakes.

Before the end of the first half, it was Bruno who created another opportunity. Cancelo passed the ball to the middle. Bruno quickly passed the ball to the back of the defense. Di Natale stepped in and calmly pushed the ball and hit the target, 3: 0!

Bruno stood at the penalty spot without hesitation, and this time it was Itura who covered him.

………………

………………

In a subsequent interview with the media, Bruno smiled and said that the strength of the four teams was relatively close, so it was impossible to say which game would be particularly difficult.

Roma is in a group with Zenit St. Petersburg, La Liga team Valencia, and Belgium's Gent. It is another group of death in which the four teams are close to each other!

The media have stated that after two seasons of glory, Serie A teams have begun to be targeted by UEFA.

Juventus is in a group with La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​Ligue 1's former hegemon Lyon, and Belarusian Borisov.

Although there are rumors that Bruno's stay in the team is only temporary, Udinese fans are very proud to be able to keep him.

After the game restarted, after Palermo served, Udinese quickly pressed forward and quickly grabbed the ball.

There was only a "bang" sound, and Bruno quickly took a free kick. After the ball drew a beautiful arc, it flew over the head of the jumping Palermo wall. The speed did not slow down, but the ball fell rapidly. In the area close to the goal, there was another obvious arc. The line change caused goalkeeper Sorrentino to make a wrong judgment and fly directly into the goal.

"We need to play every game steadily to ensure we qualify from the group."

In the 79th minute, Bruno suddenly retreated to the midfield to catch the ball. Itura quickly sent the ball to his feet. After Bruno got the ball, he passed the ball diagonally behind the defense with his right foot. Di Natale stepped in and made a direct pass. He jumped forward and sent the ball into Palermo's goal again, 4:0!

………………

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!”

The Chilean midfielder's free kick skills are also good, but compared with Bruno, they are still slightly inferior.

"And scoring a goal in seven minutes is a pretty good start for Udinese."

Bruno passed the ball back to Itura, and the Chilean midfielder passed the ball diagonally to the left. After the new aid Adnan stopped the ball, he made a beautiful breakthrough against the Palermo left back and took the ball from the left side of the penalty area.

"Bruno scored a goal in his first home game of the new season. It seems that he is indeed in good condition."

But Palermo's head coach Iachini was very nervous after seeing it, because he knew that the more this situation happened, the less careless he should be, because at Bruno's level, a sudden flash of inspiration may be able to change the trend of the game. . Therefore, Iachini warned the players very carefully, asking them to be cautious.

Only two minutes into the game, Bruno forced a breakthrough with the ball from the left. After passing two Palermo players in a row, he passed the ball to the back point. Di Natale volleyed from the back point and was missed by Palermo goalkeeper Sorrenti. Nuo Fei dived out.

1:0!

But after 70 minutes, Udinese gradually gained an advantage.

The entire Friuli Stadium was completely boiling.

One goal, two assists, Bruno directly brought three goals, and also caused a red card for the opponent. Even the second goal came from Bruno's planning.

In the first two games of the new season, Bruno has already scored 1 goal and 3 assists!
