Chapter 134 Gambling vs. Attack

"GOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bruno Fernandez! He received Di Natale's pass and scored! This is the Portuguese's 12th goal in the Europa League this season. He tied Soriano!"

"1:0, Udinese scored first. They counterattacked quickly, very fast. Udinese showed us what counterattack speed is!"

The Allianz Stadium in Turin was filled with only the cheers of Udinese fans for a short time, and the Udinese people saw their hope of standing on top of Europe.

The Allianz Stadium in Turin can accommodate 41,000 spectators, but because the final venue is in Italy, there were obviously more Udinese fans than Sevilla fans who came to watch the game. Almost two-thirds of the stadium stands were occupied by Udinese fans wearing Udinese jerseys.

Guidolin raised his arms and shouted on the sidelines. When the goal was scored, he felt relieved.

………………

Sevilla, which was lagging behind, began to strengthen its attack.

This is when full-back Bitolo received a long pass from midfielder Carrizo in the midfield. He stopped the ball with his chest, and then suddenly picked it up. The football flew over Mahrez's head, and he himself twisted his waist to accelerate from Algeria. The person passed by.

"Mahrez has been breached!" shouted Martin Taylor.

Mahrez was passed too easily, which directly disrupted Udinese's defense deployment.

"Come on!" Danilo shouted at Cancelo.

Cancelo rushed forward, and Bitolo looked at the Udinese right back who rushed forward. He pulled the ball laterally, looked up at the direction of the goal, and immediately made a move with his feet to shoot from a long distance.

"Don't let him shoot!" Cancelo was shocked and reacted immediately. He tackled directly.

"Fool!"

Bruno almost cursed when he saw this scene. This was really a reckless and even stupid choice.

Bitolo, who has excellent skills and flexible movements, easily dunked Cancelo who was making a tackle, and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

The cheers of the Sevilla fans overwhelmed the Udinese fans at this moment, and they saw the hope of scoring.

Bacca had already moved forward. Bitolo raised his foot and was about to send the ball diagonally, and then one foot appeared in front of him!

"Oh!"

Two people faced each other, and the football bounced up. Without any hesitation, this person turned his body directly over, stuck his position, and then kicked the football out of the sideline in an awkward posture.

"N'Golo Kante!" the Italian commentator shouted excitedly. "At the critical moment, it was Kante who came back and blocked Vitolo's pass and successfully destroyed the attack!"

………………

A few minutes later, taking advantage of a dead ball, Guidolin called Bruno and Kanter aside to give them advice.

"Intensify the pressure on Bitolo." Guidolin pointed at Sevilla No. 20 on the court and said, "This kid is very flexible. Tell everyone not to give him another chance to break through easily."

After a pause, Guidolin added: "Focus on pressing Carrizo. He is the key point for Sevilla's midfielder and also a defensive barrier."

"Also, Bruno needs protection when attacking." Guidolin said, noting that Sevilla also stepped up its pressing on Bruno.

"When Bruno gets the ball, you have to protect him," Guidolin said to Kante, "protect him from being easily robbed. If the ball is lost, grab it immediately. Yes, you go grab it. Bruno is quick. Drop back and organize a defensive line behind you."

"Tell Mahrez to position himself closer to the center and give Cancelo space to sprint down the wing."

Bruno and Kanter both replied in unison: "I know, coach."

"Be smart and intercept with skill." Guidolin said to Kanter again.

"Understood." Kant nodded.

Guidolin glanced at Kanter, as if to confirm whether this guy really understood.

Then Guidolin patted the two people on the shoulders and said: "The midfield is the key. Between the two of you, one can defend and the other organizes the attack. We will win this game."

Guidolin pushed the two players back onto the court and said: "Come on!"

………………

A few minutes later, Sevilla had an offensive opportunity. Bacca suddenly took a long shot, but Danilo blocked the ball with his body. Alan kicked the ball forward, and Mahrez headed the ball towards Cancelo, who came to meet him, but unexpectedly it was directed towards Carrizo.

Carrizo had just caught the ball and was about to turn around when he was pushed down from behind.

"This time it was Kanter's foul, a smart tactical foul!" the Italian commentator praised.

When Carriso gets the ball, Vitolo and Reyes are both running. As long as he passes the football, he is a great threat.

The referee awarded Sevilla a free kick in the frontcourt, but did not take the card to Kanter. His action just now was very small and not enough to warrant a card. However, the referee Bruchy gave Kanter a verbal warning. special.

Sevilla coach Emery was so angry that he thought the referee should have played a card.

<divclass="contentadv">Udinese stopped a threatening attack from Sevilla with a trivial foul. This business was a huge profit.

Guidolin was applauding, applauding the defense.

Sevilla's offense gradually improved, and then Reyes' inward shot at the top of the penalty area missed slightly, and Bacca also had a shot attempt, forcing Kanizis to make a beautiful save.

Kanizis's outstanding performance made Guidolin very happy.

This season, several Udinese goalkeepers have been competing to perform various tricks and concede goals. But as the season came to an end, the Greek began to behave more normally and gradually secured his position as Udinese's starting goalkeeper.

………………

However, what made him even more happy was the subsequent counterattack by Udinese.

After Bruno and Di Natale simply played a one-two, Bruno passed the ball to Mahrez. Mahrez tried to pass the ball to McSuel on the left, but then did not pass the ball into the penalty area. It was suddenly passed outside, and Alan, who stepped in from behind, hit the ball high with a long shot.

This is not the key to the problem. What caught Guidolin's attention was that when Alan shot, the Brazilian adjusted and shot. During the entire shooting process, there was no Sevilla defensive player to interfere.

Even Mbia, who was the most aggressive in fighting, only arrived late after Alan completed the shot.

The loopholes in Sevilla's defense that were trying to press forward and attack were exposed.

Guidolin showed a smile. Now, Sevilla presses heavily and there is space behind them, while Udinese presses tit-for-tat, and there is space behind them. It depends on who can seize the opponent's space first and score.

Udinese had a goal in hand and Guidolin felt he could gamble with Emery on offense.

Even if Sevilla pulls a goal back, it is not a big deal, but once Udinese can score first and rewrite the score from 1:0 to 2:0, this goal will It will be the key hammer to destroy the Sevilla people's will to resist!

Guidolin is confident in such a desperate attack, because Udinese has too much such experience this season.

………………

"The team's current offensive momentum is very good." Sevilla's football director Monchi said happily. "As long as we can equalize the score before the end of the first half, the situation will be greatly improved."

Emery shook his head and said: "You still have to be careful. Udinese's counterattack is still very sharp. They almost succeeded in their counterattack just now."

Almost as soon as Emery finished speaking, another goal appeared on the field.

Carrizo tried to pass the ball to Rakitic, but his passing intention was too obvious, and Kante suddenly stepped forward to complete the steal.

After stealing the ball, Kanter quickly passed the ball to Alan, and Udinese quickly counterattacked.

Alan dribbled the ball forward at high speed, Bruno came to respond, Mbia went up to defend, and Facio was protecting Mbia's back.

At this moment, Di Natale suddenly came closer, and his movement also brought another central defender Pareja over.

At the same time, Mahrez also ran to this side, which led Sevilla left back Moreno to protect the flank.

Just when Sevilla's defensive focus tilted to the left, Alan suddenly sent a diagonal pass.

Then people saw Udinese right back Cancelo inserting at high speed.

Sevilla's defense became confused because of this extremely penetrating diagonal ball and Cancelo's penetration.

Moreno dropped Mahrez and hurriedly turned towards Cancelo.

Cancelo made a move to cut inside, which attracted Moreno to continue coming over, and also tempted center back Pareja to come over for protection.

At this moment, the top of the arc on the right side of Sevilla's penalty area was instantly empty, and Cancelo pushed a diagonal back pass.

Udinese left midfielder Mike Suel appeared in front of the football.

………………

"Nice pass."

The Allianz Arena in Turin was filled with jubilation.

After receiving the ball, McSuel raised his head to observe the position of his partner Di Natale. This action deceived Sevilla goalkeeper Beto to subconsciously see where Di Natale was, but the next moment the Brazilian started directly. Foot shot.

The football rolled quickly against the turf towards the goal. Beto might have been able to save the football, but he subconsciously looked at Di Natale. Just this extra glance made it too late for him to react and save.

Everyone saw the football rolling past the legs of Sevilla goalkeeper Beto, then hitting the outside of the far post, making a "bang" sound, and then bounced out.

Di Natale saw the football bounce right at his feet, and he swung his right foot. Mbia stretched his legs to block it. He was surprised to see that the Udinese captain did not shoot, but passed the ball!

Then, people saw that Udinese No. 18, who advanced forward, easily blocked the ball into Sevilla's goal.

2: 0!
