Chapter 118 Finally reaching the top 4
Chapter 118 Finally reaching the semi-finals
Bruno, who scored, bypassed Louison who was standing there and ran towards the stands behind the billboard, where there was a dark blue. He doesn't have to worry about being hit with hard objects by people in the stands if he celebrates wantonly.
He ran to the front of the billboard and shook his fist at people in the stands.
He was excited because he knew Udinese had advanced to the semi-finals!
"Torino! Turin!! Turin!!!"
The Udinese fans in the stands were more ambitious than him. They chanted the name of the city hosting this season's Europa League final, as if their team had already advanced to the final.
Benfica's Stadium of Light can accommodate 64,000 people. About 60,000 Benfica fans came to this game. There were less than 2,000 Udinese fans, and there were hundreds of neutral fans who came just to watch the fun. of.
Before Bruno's goal, the Stadium of Light was dominated by Benfica fans, who sang, cheered and booed.
Just like dogs like to urinate to show that this is their territory, Benfica fans also use this method to tell Udinese fans from afar that this is their territory and don’t even think about being here. What tricks are you doing?
But when Bruno scored, their protection of the territory failed, and the Stadium of Light became the world of Udinese fans. They sang and danced, cheering for the team to advance to the semifinals.
………………
When Bruno shook his fist at the Udinese fans in the stands, Udinese players also rushed up and surrounded him. They slapped Bruno hard on the shoulders, back and head.
"Hahahaha! Well done, Bruno! What a great job you did! Did you see those dumbfounded Benfica players? I really like their expressions!"
"Now they have lost all hope. They have to score three goals in the remaining time, but this is absolutely impossible!"
"Yes, if we let Benfica score three goals in ten minutes, it would be the biggest insult to us!"
"We're going to win, guys! We're going to win!"
"Where to go next? Turin?"
"Go! Go to Turin! Go to the Allianz Arena!"
……
After celebrating the goal, the Udinese players dispersed and ran back to their respective positions, ready to get back into the game.
"Bruno scored his eleventh goal in this Europa League. He is already the second top scorer in the Europa League, only one goal less than the top scorer Soriano. As long as he scores again in the semi-finals If he scores a goal, he will be the Europa League Golden Boot this season."
"This is a goal that seals the victory. If Benfica wants to advance, they must score three goals in a row in the remaining time, and they cannot allow Udinese to score again. I think even the most die-hard Benfica fans are afraid I also think this is impossible..."
"Benfica has been sentenced to death by Bruno's goal! Although saying this may make Benfica fans very dissatisfied, I still want to say: the game has entered garbage time!"
"This goal is crucial. When the game time is still sufficient, Benfica players are still confident to equalize the score. But now there are only about ten minutes left in the game, and Benfica still needs to score three goals to reverse..."
"Bruno's goal completely destroyed the confidence of the Benfica players! Three goals in a row? I think this is impossible!"
……
Commentators from all over the world are expressing their opinions and comments on Bruno's goal. Almost one-sided praise for Bruno.
………………
After the game restarted, Benfica's players obviously had not recovered from the blow of conceding the third goal, and their performance on the court was like sleepwalking.
And their head coach Jorge Jesus was not much better. He stood on the sidelines in despair, not knowing how to make adjustments to the team.
In fact, I don’t blame him. In the current situation, no adjustments will be useful.
The probability of scoring three goals in a row within fifteen or six minutes is too low!
Why are Benfica players so sleepwalking? This can be seen from the fact that Perez, their core midfielder, passed the football directly to Kanter's feet.
Kanter was a little surprised when he received the ball and didn't know what to do. Then he heard Bruno shouting behind him: "Pass the ball to me!"
Kanter quickly kicked the football back with his heel.
After receiving the ball, Bruno organized the attack again. After three passes and two downs, the football fell to Di Natale's feet.
Di Natale turned around and shot. Arthur pounced. The football hit the goalpost and bounced back. As a result, it just bounced back into Arthur's arms. He didn't do anything, and the football just bounced back. Back in his hands.
"Ah! Benfica is so lucky. Otherwise, if this goal were scored again, it would be 4:2! What a pity!"
"The whole Benfica team is sleepwalking, only their goalpost is still fighting... How ironic!"
"After the game I will hit Benfica's goal post with the highest score of their team!"
Losers have no human rights. Everyone can ridicule them as much as they want. Who tells them to perform poorly?
………………
<divclass="contentadv"> It was a pity that Di Natale did not score a goal. He put his head in his hands.
He received boos from the Benfica fans: Damn it, you have scored three goals, what else do you want? Do you still think there are too few goals?
Jorge Jesus was awakened by Di Natale's shot. He rushed to the sidelines and shouted to the Benfica players inside: "What are you doing! Cheer up! Cheer up!" Attack, attack!!”
Benfica's players also felt that their previous performance was too amateurish. In any case, the game is not over yet, and they still have to work hard.
No matter whether the final result is satisfactory or not, at least you will have no regrets if you work hard.
So Benfica launched a slightly tragic counterattack, launching wave after wave of attacks on Udinese's goal amidst the songs of Benfica fans.
Kanter and Alan serve as Udinese's defensive midfielders, and they face tremendous pressure.
At this time, Guidolin made the first substitution of the game. He replaced Mahrez with deputy captain Basta to strengthen the midfield defense.
Udinese's formation changed to 4312, with Basta, Kanter and Alan's three major defensive midfielders lined up in front of the back line.
This is the beginning of the iron bucket formation!
Anyway, the team is now leading 3:2 in the away game, with a total score of 5:3. There is no way they can lose the game, so Guidolin no longer plays beautiful offensive football, but becomes conservative.
Victory is all that matters.
………………
In the remaining time, it was Benfica who suppressed Udinese.
Udinese, on the other hand, retreated with all players. Guidolin replaced Maxuel with Udomic, changing the formation to 5311 and continuing to strengthen the defense.
After the game entered stoppage time, Benfica was still besieging Udinese, and the Benfica fans in the stands were still cheering for their team.
But at this time, everyone knew that Benfica was just struggling, and it was impossible to reverse and win and advance to the semi-finals.
They just wanted to prove that they did not lose the game without any resistance. At least they fought until the last minute.
But until the end, the score on the field was still 2:3.
International practice is that the home team goes first.
"The game is over! The game is over! Udinese defeated Benfica. They beat Benfica 3:2 away from home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5:3!"
"In the past few seasons, Udinese has been playing the role of a point-delivery boy in the European competition. They have always been hastily eliminated in the European competition. At that time, who would have thought that Udinese would now advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. finals?"
"This change comes from the talented midfielder Bruno Fernandez, who Udinese spent 2500 million euros to introduce last summer. This young man who set a transfer record in Udinese team history has already represented Udinese this season. He has played 48 games in all competitions, scoring 27 goals and assisting 28 times. He is one of the best midfielders in European football this season!"
"In the Europa League, with today's 1 goal and 2 assists, Bruno has scored 11 goals and assisted 7 times. He is the number one contributor to Udinese's promotion to the semi-finals."
"And if Udinese wants to go further in the Europa League and go all the way to the Allianz Stadium in Turin on the night of May 5, they must continue to rely on the power of this super talent."
The TV cameras continued to focus on Bruno. Obviously, the director also knew who was the focus of this game.
………………
Around the end of the game between Udinese and Benfica, the results of three other Europa League quarter-finals were also decided.
Juventus defeated Lyon 2:1 at home, thus achieving a double kill against its opponent like Udinese. The total score in the two rounds was 3:1.
塞维利亚在首回合客场0:1输给波尔图的情况下，回到主场后取得了一场4:1的大胜，从而以4:2的总比分淘汰对手。
最后决出胜负的是瓦伦西亚和巴塞尔的对决。蝙蝠军团在首回合客场0:3惨败的情况下，回到主场实现了复仇。常规时间里3:0取胜，然后又在加时赛里连入两球，从而以5:3的总比分淘汰瑞超班霸。
At this point, this season's Europa League semi-finals have all settled, with two La Liga teams and two Serie A teams taking four hopes.
At noon on April 4, local time in Switzerland, the 11-2013 Europa League semi-final draw ceremony was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The final result is that the semi-finals will be internal battles between La Liga and Serie A. Valencia Against Sevilla, Juventus against Udinese.
The "Turin" slogan chanted by Udinese fans at the Stadium of Light has become a reality, but instead of going to Turin on the night of May 5th, they will go to Turin early on the night of April 14th.
In terms of the schedule, Udinese was once again unlucky to play home and then away. In the knockout stage this season, it can be said that the first home and then away game has been carried out to the end.
According to the draw results, if Udinese eliminates Juventus in the semi-finals and enters the final, they will also be the visiting team.
