Chapter 16 The Road to the Strong

Falling behind at home, Novara continued to strengthen its attack on Cesena.

Although the area where Bruno is located has become the target of the opponent's focus, in addition to the starting single midfielder, Cesena cannot arrange additional manpower to defend him. After all, they also have to worry about defense in other directions.

Moreover, Bruno is full of physical energy, and the coaching staff gives him a lot of freedom on the court. He has a wide range of activities and is often pulled to the two wings to support and transition. This makes the opponent's defense very disadvantageous, and he often even fails to follow up. Defense.

In this regard, Cesena's midfielder also has a headache, because as the core of the team's defense, he also has to take into account the defensive order.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Bruno spotted another opportunity. He suddenly retreated to catch the ball, turned around and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area. After attracting the attention of two defensive players, he suddenly passed the ball to Buchigori. The player accurately passed the ball behind the defense.

After completing the pass, Bruno quickly crossed into the penalty area and hit a shot with his right foot, scoring his ninth goal of the season and helping Novara equalize the score.

More than 10,000 Novara fans at the scene gave him a warm round of applause.

With the improvement of the team's performance, the fans have long forgotten the unhappiness during the six-game losing streak, and Bruno has once again become the favorite of the Piola Stadium.

………………

After equalizing the score, Novara obviously played more calmly and confidently.

Having an advantage in terms of strength and playing at home, Novara completely controlled the situation against Cesena and quickly organized wave after wave of offensives.

Bruno continued his outstanding performance in recent games and was very active in the frontcourt. After getting the ball, he rushed forward decisively whenever he had the chance. This not only caused the defensive midfielder of Cesena to suffer a lot, but also caused great pain to the defender. Senna's defense caused huge trouble.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Bruno received a pass from his teammate in the space between Cesena's center back and left back. After receiving the ball, he quickly turned around and used his speed to quickly dribble the ball forward.

Cesena's midfielder ran over to defend immediately, but Bruno, who had already surged up, did not wait for him to get closer. He used continuous changes in rhythm to directly pass his opponent and formed a breakthrough from the outside, winning the enthusiasm of the Novara fans on the sidelines. cheer.

After Bruno successfully broke through, the opponent's central defender quickly moved over to defend the inside, forcing Bruno to rush forward quickly along the right, but Bruno was also paying close attention to every move in the penalty area.

When he saw Pablo Gonzalez seizing the most advantageous position, he immediately made a decision, followed familiar steps, used the most familiar rhythm, and stood with his left foot at a 45-degree angle to the ball. He lifted up his right foot and sent a curved ball diagonally into the penalty area.

The ball passed over the opponent's center defender's head, drew a high arc, and then slowly dropped.

The arc of Bruno's cross made it difficult for the opponent's goalkeeper to make a decision. He wanted to attack but was unsure. In the end, he chose to stay in front of the goal. However, Gonzalez, who quickly came in from behind, was very comfortable. He hit the falling ball with a push.

The Cesena goalkeeper flew to make a save, but Gonzalez's shot went straight to the bottom of the goal net.

………………

2: 1!

After falling behind, Novara reversed the score in just twelve minutes.

After Gonzalez scored, he rushed towards Bruno again.

The Argentine player suddenly discovered that Bruno had become his lucky star. Bruno had given him 5 assists this season.

When Bruno is on the pitch, he is always given good quality passes. As long as he correctly determines where the ball will land and how it will fall, scoring a goal is not that difficult.

Bruno was very excited when he saw Gonzalez score because he saw his progress.

This curve ball pass is definitely the result of his hard work in passing in the past period.

In fact, according to the training arrangement of the training master system, Bruno has completed basic football training courses in the past six months, including hitting the ball, stopping the ball, passing the ball, dribbling, shooting, running, interception... all aspects of technology have been improved. There has been a significant improvement.

<divclass="contentadv">Because he was practicing the basics, although his performance on the court was not fancy, every move he made seemed very reasonable, giving people the impression of a heavy sword without a sharp edge. Work is almost like returning to nature.

On the sidelines, Novara coach Tessel also nodded in disbelief.

"In half a year, this kid's progress in all aspects has been too obvious." Tessel's assistant said.

As the team's assistant coach, he knows better than anyone else that Bruno is definitely the most diligent player on the team.

In the past six months, outsiders have only seen Bruno's all-round progress, but how many people know about the hardships involved?

If nothing else, let’s just say that this cross is impossible to achieve without hard work.

Originally, for a position like the attacking midfielder, few people practiced crossing skills from the wing. But Bruno not only practiced, but also practiced to a high level.

This is why the Novara coaching staff dared to give Bruno so much freedom on the court.

………………

After shooting and passing, Bruno became more and more excited and began to frequently create murderous opportunities in the frontcourt.

As long as he gets the ball in the frontcourt, he will make an immediate judgment. If he has the opportunity, he will dribble the ball forward and use his personal breakthrough ability to create a threat. Or he will use the wing to pass the ball and frequently send the ball into the penalty area. Just pass the ball back to your teammates to reorganize.

With Bruno's strategy adjustment, Novara's frontcourt offensive became very fierce.

In the 43rd minute, Bruno once again pulled to the right to receive the ball. After keeping a distance from the defensive Cesena left back, he caught a chance and quickly made a long-distance diagonal pass with his right foot to pass the ball. It passed behind the opponent's defense and landed in the penalty area.

Gonzalez quickly stepped in from the back row, caught up with the ball and passed it to the left. Mohammadi followed up and hit the ball directly.

3: 1.

Novara's offensive attack once again broke through Cesena's goal.

After conceding the ball first in the first half, it took less than twenty minutes to score three goals in a row and ended with a two-goal lead. The players in the Texel locker room praised the performance and Encouraging everyone to keep up their efforts in the second half, this time he once again highlighted Bruno.

"In the second half, our offense still focused on the right side. The opponent's defense on the left side obviously had problems. We must work hard to completely defeat the opponent."

When Bruno nodded in agreement, not only did the shadow of Cesena's left back appear in his mind, he was also an unlucky guy. When he played for the first time in his career, he scored a beautiful goal on him.

However, this is the case in professional football. The strong always have to step on the shoulders of the weak to rise to the top.If you don't want to become someone else's foil one day, then you have to make yourself stronger.

………………

After changing sides and fighting again, Novara still maintained its offensive against Cesena.

Bruno is still very active, either dribbling the ball to disrupt the opponent's defense, or passing the ball at the right opportunity to create chaos in the penalty area.

Soon, Cesena made adjustments, replaced a defensive midfielder, replaced a forward, and switched to a 4231 formation.

Cesena's head coach seemed to have noticed that a single defensive midfielder could not stop Novara's impact. Moreover, in the first leg of the match between the two sides, Cesena was defeated by Novara with a score of 1:6 at home. He did not want such a disastrous defeat to happen again at the Piola Stadium.

Cesena's double midfielder tactics mean that Bruno in the attacking midfield position often has to face two defensive players alone, and his active performance has been curbed to a certain extent, but Bruno is still trying to find opportunities and create threats.
