Chapter 100 Almighty Bruno (Fourth update please subscribe)

After the game restarted, the football continued to be organized by Bruno, and as long as Bruno entered the opponent's half, what was waiting for him was Ortiz's tough defense.

Ever since Bruno used Marseille to spin past him once, he has found that technical flow is very effective against Alkmaar players, because these players are generally large, have a high center of gravity, move slowly, and have slow movements.

For example, Ortiz, who is 1.75 meters tall, is already the shortest player in the Alkmaar team. The other two midfielders, Victor Elm and Nemanja Gudley, are both big men about 1.9 meters tall.

As long as he can get rid of Ortiz in the midfield, it will be very easy to deal with the other two big men.

So he began to frequently try to use his skills to shake Ortiz away. Sometimes he would succeed, and sometimes he would fail. It doesn't matter if you fail, just get it back again.

After more than a year of training in the training master system, Bruno's defensive abilities have been greatly improved. Now, when he returns to defense, he is no longer just pretending, but actually has good defensive ability.

It's just that in Udinese's formation, there has never been a lack of defensive strength. In addition, as the core of the offense, the head coach rarely requires him to devote his energy to defense, so he leaves an impression that he is not good at defense.

In the 37th minute, when Bruno was being closely watched by Ortiz and unable to turn around, he planned to knock the football to Mahrez with his heel, but Ortiz saw the opportunity and poked the football away in advance.

Next, Ortiz ran forward, intending to get stuck and get the ball completely.

Bruno moved quickly. After realizing that his football had been stabbed away, he immediately followed.

The two bodies were squeezed together and constantly colliding, neither one willing to give up control of the ball. The final result was that Bruno took advantage of his body and strength to snatch the ball back from Ortiz's feet.

………………

When the ball was just intercepted, Alkmaar players were preparing to launch a counterattack, so they all ran forward. Unexpectedly, the ball changed hands a few seconds later, and the football returned to Udinese's feet.

This transition between offense and defense was too fast, resulting in a delay in Alkmaar's reaction time.So when Bruno grabbed the ball again, Alkmaar's defense revealed a loophole.

Bruno also saw the loophole and directly passed a penetrating ball from behind!

Mahrez originally planned to return to defense, but when he turned his head and found that Bruno had cut off the football again, he immediately knew what to do.

There's room ahead, jump in!

At this time, Bruno's pass just found the space, and the two people thought together. The result was that Mahrez successfully countered offside and caught the football!

While Alkmaar's players were still raising their arms to signal that Mahrez was offside, their goalkeeper Alvarado had already struck.

At this time, he didn't care about scolding his teammates. He threw the ball out first and then settled the score with those bastards!

Not long after the game started, Alvarado saved a single shot by Mahrez. He was very confident in his state today and thought he could save Mahrez's single shot again.

In fact, he thought well, but he can save Mahrez's single ball, but he may not be able to save the cooperation between two people.

This time Mahrez faced the attacking Alvarado again, but instead of shooting himself, he passed the ball to the center!

………………

"Bruno's pass... not offside! Not offside! Mahrez received the ball, single-handedly! ... He passed the ball! Cross pass, beautiful!"

The person waiting for Mahrez's pass in the middle was Colombian forward Muriel, who took over from Di Natale in the starting lineup. Facing the huge empty goal, all he had to do was adjust his ankle in one direction.

The football hit the inside of his foot, changed direction and bounced into the goal.

"The ball went in!! Luis Muriel! He equalized the score for Udinese! Twenty minutes after conceding the goal, Udinese scored to equalize the score!"

Muriel, who scored the goal, ran towards the corner flag and was stopped by Mahrez on the way. Other Udinese players ran towards the two of them, including Bruno.

"This is the offense that Udinese has shown many times this season!" the commentator of Sky TV Italy excitedly introduced, "Simple and fast delivery, Bruno, as the team's core organization, can always find loopholes in the opponent's defense. Take advantage of it! And Mahrez is no longer the stupid young man who only knows that he is reckless when he gets the ball! His pass to the center is very appropriate and timely...Then Muriel's job is simple, score a goal It’s a matter of course! It’s such a joy to score goals like this!”

………………

As the commentators commented, Udinese players hugged each other and celebrated their goals.

"Well done, Luis! Now we finally offset their away goal!" Mahrez said, patting Muriel on the head.

"That's right! With an away goal, we feel relieved!"

"So there's nothing to be afraid of when they score goals. They score one for us, and we score one for them. Let's see who takes advantage in the end! Haha!"

……

The Udinese player is in a good mood now after scoring an away goal.

Although they only equalized the score, they were ahead on the total score, and they did not have to worry about the impact of the away goal scored by AZ Alkmaar at the Stadio Friuli in the first round.

<divclass="contentadv">The morale of the Udinese team, which equalized the score, was greatly boosted. They turned against the away team and bombarded Alkmaar's goal indiscriminately.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Udinese got another free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Under normal circumstances, Di Natale takes the free kick in the frontcourt, but he was injured in the warm-up before this game and cannot play in this game.

But it doesn't matter, a team doesn't have just one set-piece taker.

Bruno comes to take the free kick.

After most of the season, Bruno's free kicks have been recognized by Udinese, and he has become the team's second set-kick taker.

………………

Bruno's free kick hit the wall and bounced back. Alkmaar's players originally wanted to take the opportunity to steal the ball and counterattack, but Aaron Johansson, who did not come back to participate in the defense in front, did not steal Kante.

Kanter cut the football off from him, then protected it with his body, and then handed the football to Bruno, who came back to pick him up.

There was an Alkmaar defensive player following Bruno, so he did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the ball back to Kanter and made a "steady" gesture to him.

Don't rush to start a fast break. Although Alkmaar's players are rushing forward now, just like the situation when Udinese equalized the score five minutes ago, Udinese's players themselves are not prepared. Well, passing the ball hastily will not create any opportunities and will only waste this possession of the ball.

Kanter is not Danilo. He has the same agent as Bruno and is definitely Bruno's brother. And he was able to sign with a top agent like Mendes entirely thanks to Bruno. He even vaguely knew that he could transfer from an unknown French second team to the Serie A powerhouse Udinese. Bruno played a very key role in it, so in Udinese, he is a real Only Bruno follows his lead and does what Bruno says.

Since the fast break is not allowed, it is better to be steady, so Kanter passed the football directly to the feet of central defender Erto behind.

At this time, Bruno had already gotten rid of the entanglement of Alkmaar's defensive players and ran to the backcourt to find Erto for the ball.

Erto did not directly kick the football forward like Danilo did at the beginning of the game. He passed the football to Bruno.

………………

At this time, no Alkmaar players came up to press Bruno, because he was in his own half. As Alkmaar's midfielder, Ortiz could not run that far to steal the ball, otherwise he would be out of position.

In football matches, the consequences of losing position are more serious than letting go of the target.

As long as it lasts until halftime, Bruno can organize the offense calmly.

Of course, you can only rely on long passes.

And Alkmaar, which is full of long men, is not weak in the air defense ability of headers.

Bruno controlled the ball in the backcourt and then dribbled the ball across the halfway line and back into AZ Alkmaar's half.

He looked at the situation, and then said to Kanter: Come up and pick me up, don't be so far away from me.

After Kante came up, he also attracted the attention of Alkmaar's players. Bruno saw that Gudley was always following him, so he turned around and passed the football to the right back Cancelo who came from behind.

Canter ran away, Bruno gestured to him and rushed forward.

Cancelo is a full-back with strong assist ability. Sometimes it is even unclear whether he is a full-back or a full-back.

He dribbles the ball from the wing, and Bruno runs alongside him in the center, ready to receive him at any time.

Of course, Cancelo can also not pass the ball to him, as long as he has better passing options.

And when Cancelo finds that it is impossible for one person to break forward and there is no better passing option, he will pass the ball to Bruno who is connecting him.

Just like this time, Cancelo found that the space for breakthrough was very small. He was not completely sure of success. As for passing the ball, he did not have a good choice. If there was an opening, he was not sure that he would be able to pass it, so he Pass the football to Bruno.

At this time, Mahrez also pulled to the wing, hoping that Bruno would pass the ball to him.

However, Bruno did not look at him and turned towards the other side, seemingly intending to pass to Pereira who was rushing in from the left wing, or center Muriel who was pulling out from the goal.
