Chapter 124 The almost-dead final

Just when the Udinese players were preparing to play, news suddenly came that a shooting incident occurred outside the stadium, and the game might be canceled and then replayed on another day.

In order to watch the Coppa Italia final live, more than 3 fans from both Udinese and Naples flocked to Rome. When fans from both sides entered the stadium, some Naples fans tried to break through the cordon set up by the police, and shootings ensued.

According to the news, a total of four people were injured at the scene, including two Naples fans, a policeman and a passerby.

After the shooting, clashes broke out again between fans of the two teams near the stadium, with some Roma and Lazio fans also participating to act as spoilers.

Due to the chaotic situation, the organizers of the game considered canceling the game and rematching it another day.

Udinese is happy to see such an arrangement, because it means they can get more rest time, but Naples is not willing.

This season, in the league, Naples was double beaten by Udinese, which made the people of Naples feel a little unconfident.

Now, Udinese only played a fierce battle for 90 minutes at the Allianz Stadium in Turin two days ago. Although Guidolin partially rotated Udinese's lineup, many players who appeared today still played for two days. From the previous game, my physical fitness has definitely not recovered.

This situation is undoubtedly beneficial to Naples, who are recuperating, and they are naturally unwilling to postpone the game.

After negotiation between the two parties, it was finally decided to postpone the start of the game by 9 minutes, which was supposed to start at 45 p.m., in order to restore order to the scene.

………………

At 9:40 pm, after Guidolin shook hands with Naples head coach Rafael Benitez in a polite manner, he returned to the Udinese coaching bench. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked up at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. of stands.

At this time, the names of players from both sides were being played on the radio, and each name was read out and received huge cheers from the stands.

The commentator is also introducing the starting lineups of both sides.

Forward: No. 7 Callejon, No. 17 Hamsik, No. 24 Insigne;

Forward: No. 9 Higuain.

"This game is Jorginho's first final. If he can win the Italian Cup, it will be a huge gain in his career for this young midfielder." RAI, which broadcast the game live Channel commentator Gerardo Benigni said.

"There are many rumors that Hamsik will move to the Premier League after the end of the season. His agent has frequently appeared in London and Manchester during this period. There were angry Naples fans who even shouted at Maradona in the last round of the league. The stadium booed Hamsik, but today Benitez still chose to trust Hamsik." Benigni's partner and beautiful commentator Benedita Masola said.

"Udinese made a substantial rotation in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals two days ago, and coach Guidolin gave his main players more rest time. But their midfield core Bruno Fernandez He played, which may have some impact on today's game. The Golden Boy Award winner has had a great impact on Udinese, and his performance directly determines Udinese's performance." Bernini spoke again road.

Beautiful commentator Benedita was also full of praise for Bruno: "This talented Portuguese midfielder who spent 2500 million euros on Udinese last summer was once questioned to become the biggest parallel import in the history of Serie A because of his transfer to Udinese. Dines had only played one season of professional league football in Novara before. But nine months later, he has used his outstanding performance to slap those who originally doubted him in the face."

"This season, the 19-year-old European Golden Boy Award winner has played 51 games in various competitions for Udinese, scoring a crazy 28 goals and also sent 32 assists. Among them, he played 33 games in Serie A. Scored 17 goals and assisted 21 times, close to double 20 data. This is the first time in the history of Serie A that someone has achieved such a performance."

………………

In the player tunnel, standing at the back of Udinese's starting team, Bruno, waiting to appear, kept staring at Naples' starting players to see if Benitez would choose Jorginho to start. Finally, he found out if Jorginho was in the Naples team. A smile appeared on his calm face.

Bruno is naturally no stranger to the Italian midfielder who almost won the European Ballon d'Or. He is quite familiar with his strength.

Yes, Jorginho's excellent interception and precise passing may pose a threat to Udinese's goal, but compared with the threat he brings on the offensive end, Jorginho may give Udinese a lot of pressure on the defensive end. Despite the role brought by Si, Bruno still thinks the latter is more important.

The camera just gave a close-up of the players' tunnel, and Bruno's smile appeared in front of all the TV viewers.

"Bruno Fernandez is smiling, he looks really confident about this game," Benigni said.

<divclass="contentadv">"Before the game, this young Portuguese midfielder had always expressed Udinese's desire to compete for the championship. He performed in a very high-profile manner and may have led the team to eliminate Juventus and break into The Europa League final has given Bruno and Udinese great confidence, and we also expect this season’s biggest dark horse in the Italian Cup to give everyone a wonderful performance in today’s game.” Benedita said with a smile. .

"Dad, Mom, I saw it, it's Brother Bruno!" In the VIP box of Rome's Olympic Stadium, the already slim Isabella Rich cheered.

During this game, Mr. Rich and his family also came to watch the game.Of course, their tickets were sent by Bruno. Udinese provided 10 tickets to the final for each first-team player. Bruno sent 5 tickets to his family, and the other 5 tickets were given to Vanessa. The other four were sent to Mr. Rich and his family.

The Ricci couple were very happy after receiving the tickets from Bruno, and then drove to Rome.

The Bruno family and agent Mendes also came, and they were all in a box. The audience here were basically relatives and friends of Udinese players.

However, Vanessa said on the phone that she could not come to watch the game, which made Bruno a little disappointed.However, the explanation she gave also made Bruno understand.

It turns out that this elegant Italian beauty was once a very famous supermodel in the European fashion industry. However, some of her remarks three years ago caused the displeasure of the American emperor, and then she was banned by European and American official agencies. .

As a result, the supermodel who was once popular in the European and American fashion circles suddenly disappeared from the public eye and became the female owner of a small coffee shop in the suburbs of Milan.

Vanessa also asked Bruno to carefully consider the relationship between the two on the phone, because once the media learns of their relationship, it may have a negative impact on Bruno.

After hearing the news, Bruno was a little speechless. He didn't expect Vanessa to have such an experience.

Bruno has long understood the so-called freedom of speech in Europe and the United States.Being born in the East, he knows the double standards of these European and American countries better than anyone else.

Bruno himself strongly agreed with Vanessa's remarks, but as the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and given his current situation, he had to be cautious about many things.

………………

Udinese captain Di Natale shook hands with the three referees and Napoli captain Hamsik. Then he walked back to his own half and waved for everyone to come around.

"Guys, we are making club history!" Di Natale said, holding out a hand.

"Champion! We want the championship!" Team veteran Domic stretched out his hand and said.

When it comes to the desire for this Italian Cup championship, he is no less eager than these young people. He is about to turn 34 and has reached the twilight of his career, but he has not won any significant honors.

"Yes, champion!" Pingqi stretched out his hand.

Pingqi, who is only less than 1 year younger than Domic, is in a similar situation to Domic. He is also full of desire for honor.

"Champion!" Danilo pressed his hand.

"Champion!" Cancelo shouted.

"Champion!" Kanter shouted.

"champion!"

……

Bruno was the last to extend his hand.

Eleven Udinese players, their palms stacked higher and higher.Everyone’s expressions were serious, excited, eager and courageous!

Everyone's hands were piled together. As the captain, Di Natale looked at everyone and was very excited. He really never thought that Udinese could reach the finals of major events, or even the finals of two events.

The 37-year-old Udinese captain said: "I am honored to be able to play football with everyone, fight together, and compete for the championship together. I hope that this championship is not the end, but a stage for us to pursue glory!"

After a pause, the late-blooming Italian striker shouted: "Champion!"

Everyone was excited, and together with their captain, they pressed their palms hard and shouted: Champion! champion! champion!

They really think they can win.

At the very least, they have the fighting spirit and courage to fight for the championship, and are willing to work hard!
