Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Dominate the List

The game time passed minute by minute, and the score remained at 1:3, with the home team Basel lagging behind.

This made Paul Sosa on the sidelines sit on pins and needles, and the goal he expected never came.

The situation on the field was very anxious. Players from both sides fought fiercely in the midfield. Scenes of people turning upside down kept appearing. It was difficult for both teams to play a smooth offense.

Especially against the home team Basel, their offense was stubbornly blocked by Udinese's two small midfielders with strong sweeping ability.

At the same time, they have to worry about Udinese's quick counterattack after the attack is blocked. Because Udinese with Bruno is very likely to launch a counterattack in a way you can't imagine.

This feeling of fear is really uncomfortable!

The only thing that gave Paul Sosa some comfort was the news from Bulgaria.

In the 77th minute of the game, Real Madrid scored again. French forward Benzema helped Real Madrid take the lead.

But this only slightly relieved Paul Sosa's nervousness, because even if both games ended with the current score, Ludogorets also lost, but Basel still had to go with a goal difference disadvantage. , at the bottom of Group B!

………………

The unwilling Paulo Sosa made another substitution when the game reached 80 minutes.David Kalla came on as a substitute, replacing talented forward Embolo, intending to give it a final try.

The 17-year-old Embolo performed poorly in this game and looked frustrated when he was substituted.

David Kalla, who came on as a substitute, had a good long-range shot. Not long after he came on, he used a long-range shot from outside the penalty area to force Kanizis to make a save. The football went out of the baseline and Basel got a corner kick.

Basel's corner kick was a tactical corner kick. Xhaka kicked the football to Hammoudi. After the latter took two steps, he suddenly knocked the football back with his heel. Kara did not stop the ball and directly hoisted the football into the penalty area.

Kanizis struck out and punched the football with one punch, but was unable to clear the ball away. This caused chaos in Udinese's penalty area.

In the melee, a figure rushed up, jumped very high, and headed the ball towards the goal.

"Watch out Frey!!"

"Header!"

Udinese made a mistake in defending the high-altitude ball this time. The defensive focus was on the high points of Strehler, Scheer and Susi, but they ignored the defense of Frey.

The captain of Basel is very smart. He didn't jump in front of the goal, but rushed in and jumped from the outside. He used enough force to jump higher than anyone else, and he shook his head like a beautiful lion in the air.

Udinese goalkeeper Kanizis had no reaction to this header, but Frei was not very lucky. His header was too straight, and it bounced off Kanizis's body, and then Danilo quickly rescued him.

The Basel fans in the stands held their heads in their hands and jumped regretfully. They all thought the ball was scored.

………………

Guidolin was also shocked. When he saw the ball being cleared, he yelled on the sidelines: "Damn it! Why didn't anyone defend that guy?"

Frey rushed in from the outside and headed the ball. This is not the key. The key to the problem is that there is no one defending the Basel captain? !

Obviously, Udinese's defense had quite a problem in this corner kick defense.

Paulo Sosa rubbed his hands in regret. It was a pity that he failed to score with such a good opportunity.

If this goal is scored, Basel's hope of scoring points at home will greatly increase. After all, there are still ten minutes left before the end of the game, plus injury time.

However, this attack also confirmed Paul Sosa's intention to make a fuss about the high-altitude ball.

Udinese's goalkeeper Kanizis was in very average condition today, especially when he frequently showed unstable performance in defending high-altitude balls. This was Basel's opportunity.

………………

Bruno's expression was a little solemn.

The team has been somewhat passive during this period. If Basel scores a goal, this is obviously not what he wants to see.

There are still about ten minutes left before the end of the game. If Basel pulls one back, the pressure on Udinese will be unprecedentedly high in the next game.

In order to win, the Red and Blue Legion will definitely fight with Udinese.

We cannot remain so passive, we must counterattack, and we must use offense to suppress Basel's rising offensive.

However, before Bruno could organize Udinese's counterattack, Guidolin made a substitution. High school defender Maguire, who was loaned from Sheffield United in the summer, came on as a substitute and replaced veteran Domic.

Ping Qi came on as a substitute, replacing Alan who was in average condition today.

Obviously, these are two adjustments to strengthen the defense.

Guidolin hopes to use Maguire's height and Pingqi's experience to help Udinese hold on to the final minutes.

………………

In the 86th minute, Udinese got a free kick in the frontcourt.

<divclass="contentadv">Captain Di Natale personally took the free kick, but Di Natale's free kick did not go over the wall and was directly blocked by the wall.

However, Bruno grabbed the ball and Udinese continued to organize the attack.

Widmund's break down the right earned Udinese a well-placed free kick.

Di Natale planned to take the free kick, but Bruno found him: "Captain, let me do it."

Di Natale thought for a moment and handed the ball to Bruno.

His condition was not very good today. Although he scored a goal at the beginning of the game, his performance in the subsequent games was not good.

Seeing Bruno standing at the penalty spot, Basel's defense suddenly became nervous, and the Basel fans in the stands were also a little worried.

Bruno has good free kick skills. He scored 3 direct free kicks last season, and assisted his teammates to score even more goals through free kicks.

"beep!"

Referee Skomina's whistle sounded.

Bruno made a run-up. He did not choose to attack the goal directly, but hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Di Natale successfully grabbed the point and poked the ball into Basel's goal from close range.

4:1, Udinese completely killed the game!

After Bruno scored twice, Di Natale also scored twice.

Di Natale seemed very excited. He did not expect to give Bruno the right to take the free kick, but he scored a goal.

This business is such a bargain!

………………

In the end, Udinese defeated Basel 4:1 in the away game and won two consecutive games.

When the referee blew the three whistles to end the game, the television camera focused on Bruno who was surrounded by his teammates for a long time, and broadcast a long close-up shot of him.

"Udinese spent 2500 million euros to gain a superstar." Zhan Jun said, "In his first season in the Champions League, Bruno handed over a shocking report card, with 5 goals and 3 assists in two games. This is an absolute success. Most players can’t put up numbers in an entire Champions League season, but Bruno Fernandez only did it in two games!”

Zhang Lu also said: "Udinese, which has won two consecutive games, has also surpassed Real Madrid with a goal difference. Now Udinese is first in the group."

At this time, on another field, the game was also over. Real Madrid finally defeated Ludogorets 2:1 away with Benzema's goal in the second half.

However, although they have also won two consecutive games, the Madrid giants have two goals less than Udinese, so they can only settle for second place.

The Champions League match between Udinese and Basel became the focus of media coverage after the game.

Bruno scored twice in this game with a goal and an assist, which also earned him widespread praise after the game.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote in its post-match report: "With two shots and two passes in a single game, and eight goals scored in two games, Bruno declared with unquestionable domineering performance that the Champions League is still his territory!"

The report of "Turin Sports Daily" is also full of amazement: "With 5 goals and 3 assists in two games, he ranks first in the Champions League goals and assists list. Bruno Fernandez's performance in his first season in the Champions League is crazy. Group B It has now become a duel between two Portuguese people. In the next round of the Champions League group stage, Udinese will face Real Madrid at the Friuli Stadium, and Bruno will also face Cristiano Ronaldo directly after the European Super Cup. This game is bound to be as intense as Mars hitting the Earth and is worth looking forward to.”

………………

The second direct confrontation between Bruno and Ronaldo has not yet come, but they are fighting side by side first.

In mid-October, the second international match day of this season arrives. Portugal will usher in two games, a warm-up match against France, and an away challenge against group rival Denmark in the European Cup qualifiers.

According to the roster announced by Portuguese national team coach Fernando Santos, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno were selected without any doubt. Portugal's top player finally made his return after missing an international match day due to injury.

Countless Portuguese players can finally see the perfect central axis of "Cristiano Ronaldo + Bruno + Pepe" that they have longed for appear on the playing field.

However, after Portugal announced the new national team roster, Bruno played another game on behalf of Udinese.

On the afternoon of October 10, Udinese sat at the Friuli Stadium and faced newly promoted Cesena in the sixth round of Serie A.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Bruno assisted Di Natale to open the scoring for Udinese. In the 62nd minute of the second half, Di Natale reciprocated and helped Bruno score.

However, in the stoppage time of the game, Udine player Vidmon fouled in the penalty area and sent a penalty kick. Caccione took the penalty kick and Cesena regained a victory.

最终，乌迪内斯2:1在主场取胜。5胜1平拿到16分，登上了意甲积分榜首席。

However, before Udinese could secure its top spot, Juventus defeated Roma 3:2 in a controversial game and snatched the top spot from Udinese.

In the match between Juventus and Roma, the referee took out 2 red cards and 7 yellow cards, and awarded Juventus two controversial penalty kicks.

Without these two controversial penalties, Juventus is likely to lose to Roma at home and give up the top spot to the Red Wolves.
