From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 64 Setting the stage for victory

"2:1! Beautiful! Di Natale scored!" the Italian commentator shouted. "Udinese's attack once again showed us their counterattack speed! In fact, Liberec The return to defense this time was considered fast, but the cooperation between the Udinese players was very tacit. They were all passed with one kick, snap, snap, and fast. Liberec was completely tired of defending! "

"We saw Di Natale hugging Bruno immediately. Indeed, Di Natale's ball had a lot to do with Bruno. He attracted Liberec's defensive attention at the front point. Liu is very smart and gave Di Natale the opportunity to start calmly! ”

"It seems that Bruno Fernandez has integrated into Udinese very smoothly. He has a good understanding with his teammates and is also very popular with his teammates! This is undoubtedly great news for Udinese fans. !”

"Udinese has completely taken the initiative. They are leading Liberec again! This is definitely a situation that Liberec did not expect before the game. They were completely led by Udinese from the beginning of the game. , Udinese’s strength in the game impressed everyone. It was completely different from the role they played in the European competition in previous seasons. They beat Liberec without any power to fight back!”

………………

Just after equalizing the score, another goal was scored by the opponent, which was a bit of a blow to the Liberec players.

But Udinese is becoming more confident as they play. Under the leadership of Bruno Fernandez, the new offensive core, they completely take the initiative on the scene.

This was an attack in Udinese. Pavelka fouled Di Natale in the backcourt and was shown a yellow card. Udinese got a good free kick opportunity.

Originally, Udinese's first free kick taker was Di Natale, but this time it was Bruno Fernandez who stood in front of the ball.

Obviously, Udinese's free kick takers have changed in the new season.

As the referee blew the whistle, Bruno took a run and shot. The football crossed the wall, made a beautiful arc, passed through the fingers of Liberec goalkeeper Koval, and flew into the upper right corner of the goal.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!" the Italian commentator shouted in a long voice, "World wave! An extremely exciting free kick to score directly! 3:1! Udinese has secured the victory!"

"Bruno! The Portuguese scored twice! Liberec was completely stunned! They were beaten by Udinese without any temper!"

Bruno, who scored twice, rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. The Udinese fans in the stands burst into loud cheers and shouts to express their love for the new core of the team. .

………………

At the end of the first half, the score was Udinese 3:1 Liberec at home.

This is a score that no one expected before the game. Although Liberec is just a little-known team from the Czech First Division, Udinese is also a weak player in the European competition. The performance in the domestic arena in the past two seasons was very good, but when the European war came, he stopped playing and was nicknamed by the fans as the boy who gave away points in the European war.

The fifth in Serie A faces the third in Czech Republic. Udinese may have some advantages, but if they want to win against their opponents, they will have to go through a hard battle.

Therefore, it really surprised many people to see Udinese leading Liberec by a big score of 3:1 at halftime and having an overwhelming advantage on the field.

After the start of the second half, Udinese continued to take advantage of their home court to attack Liberec's defense.

During the halftime break, Guidolin analyzed the situation. He hoped that the team could establish enough advantages in the first round of the game, and it would be best to complete the victory in one game.

One thing Guidolin did not say clearly is that Udinese's core lineup is too old. Especially captain and striker Di Natale, who is almost 36 years old. At such an age, one cannot afford to play double matches a week for a long period of time.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Di Natale will take a rest and lose some games, but Udinese's next game is the first game of the league. In order to get a good start, Guidolin does not intend to let Di Natale take a rest next week. The second leg of the Europa League play-off against Liberec was the game that Guidolin planned to give Di Natale a rest.

On Udinese's front line, apart from Di Natale, they lack a scorer that Guidolin can trust. Although Muriel scored 11 league goals last season, in Guidolin's opinion, he is still too young and lacks stability.

Widmon and Zelinsky are even younger. Guidolin brought them up from the second team in order to cope with the multi-line battle this season. They have not played in the first team yet.

As for the newly joined Lopez, Guidolin has no hope for him.

………………

Wave after wave of Udinese attacks put huge pressure on Liberec's defense.

In the 53rd minute of the game, João Cancelo used his speed to eat up his opponent on the right, and then made a pass from the bottom. Di Natale grabbed a shot in front of the goal, and the football was saved by goalkeeper Kovar. It bounced back and was about to fly into the goal. I don’t know what Liberec defender Kushnir was thinking. The most likely thing is that his brain short-circuited at this time and he actually hit the football with his hands. Block out.

beep!

The referee's whistle sounded without any controversy. He pointed to the penalty spot and showed Kushnir a red card.

"Penalty kick! Red card!" the Italian commentator shouted. "The referee showed a red card to Liberec defender Kushnir and awarded a penalty kick! This was an undisputed handball in the penalty area. Kushnir's brain What was Li thinking at the time? With the score at 1:3, it is not unacceptable to lose another ball. There is no need for him to block it with his hands!"

The commentator found it incomprehensible. If the score difference was small, it would be excusable to take action in desperation. This defensive choice in the case of 1:3 can be said to be a bit stupid.

Udinese captain Di Natale stood at the penalty spot and took the penalty kick.

approach! Shoot! Achieved in one fell swoop!

There was a cheering frenzy at the Friuli Stadium.

Di Natale scored a penalty kick, which was also his second goal in today's game. The 36-year-old veteran is still young and showed good competitive form.

Di Natale was surrounded by excited teammates, congratulating him on his outstanding performance.

The fans' cheers and applause also rang out in the stands of the Friuli Stadium.

………………

"With a goal in motion and a penalty kick, Di Natale showed everyone his strength and versatility." The Italian commentator said, "4:1, Udinese leads by a big score, Libe Retz also had a defender sent off, and the home team can already celebrate the victory in advance. "

The central defender was sent off, and the Liberec coach had to make substitution adjustments. He replaced the midfielder Friedik and replaced the central defender Lubos Husek.

Seeing Liberec's substitution, Guidolin immediately made substitution adjustments. He replaced starting forward Di Natale with Muriel.

Although Di Natale is still young, he will be 36 years old after all. Guidolin also expects him to attack Udinese in more games. When the overall situation of the game has been decided, it is better to save It’s better to use it wisely.

Applause also broke out in the stands of the Friuli Stadium, which was given to the team's meritorious captain.
