Chapter 21 The promised battle at Tianwang Mountain!

Chapter 21 The promised battle at Tianwang Mountain!

On April 2013, 4, at 6 pm local time in Italy, a focus match of the 35th round of Serie B started at the Piola Stadium, with Novara facing off against Sassuolo, who topped the Serie B standings.

From the moment the referee blew the whistle, the Piola Stadium was quiet for not a second. More than 10,000 fans shouted and cheered at the top of their lungs to cheer for the team.

Some people say that playing at home is an advantage, but it is also pressure.This is true, but all Novara players obviously enjoy playing at their home stadium more, because the fans here are the team's best comrades!

Texel's game strategy was basically the same as in the first round, including how to mark Vanianelli and Berardi.

Although there is a saying that one does not fall in the same place twice, Tessel does not believe in that evil.

Among Novara's lineup, Bruno has the highest degree of tactical freedom.

Mohammadi wants to steal Terranova's point, Gonzalez wants to suppress Bianco, and Bruno's task is to attack.

Di Francesco's original idea was very simple, control the ball, control the rhythm, and use the experienced team captain Magnanelli to restrict Bruno, then other things will be much easier to handle.

This approach had achieved good results in the first round against Novara. Magnanelli basically restricted Bruno to death.

………………

Magnanelli is indeed a very experienced and outstanding player. At the age of 28, he is in the prime period of his career.

If the two sides compete on the same level, it will be difficult for Bruno to stand a chance. This is why Di Francesco dared to put the veteran Bianco out.

Therefore, Bruno changed his strategy. He deliberately moved further to the left and tried to pull Magnelli out.

As long as Magnanelli leaves his position, Bruno's diagonal and vertical sprints will be a threat.

Magnanelli has rich experience and knows his strengths and weaknesses well, so he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and just doesn't come out.

But Magnanelli soon paid the price for his choice, because Bruno knocked on the door of Sassuolo with a long shot from 20 meters away from the beginning.

Over the past six months or so, Bruno has not only undergone basic training in passing and receiving under the arrangement of his father, but he has also undergone special training on his shooting skills. His shooting ability is far from what it was five months ago. .

Five months ago, Bruno's long-range shot did not pose much threat to Sassuolo's goal, but today it was a hit.

This completely ignited the atmosphere of the audience and shocked Sassuolo.

In the second minute, Novara took the lead at home!

………………

After seeing Bruno's long-range shooting skills, Magnanelli had to come out and in the ninth minute, he received the first yellow card of the game.

Captain Sassuolo also struggled to deal with Bruno.

As the core of Sassuolo's defense, receiving a yellow card early made Sassuolo's defense very passive.

Then, in the 13th minute of the game, Sassuolo lost the ball again.

It was Bruno who still attacked, and Magnanelli was forced to defend Bruno. But at this time Bruno chose to pass the ball across to Buzigori who came in behind, and the latter easily sent the ball into Sassuolo's goal.

2: 0!

The game only lasted 13 minutes, and Sassuolo fell behind 0:2 in the away game. This was a situation that no one expected.

What's the agreed upon strongest matchup in Serie B?

What about the promised battle at Tianwang Mountain?

How come Novara beats Sassuolo like a strong man beating a child?

The scenes in both games are similar, but the attacker and the one being beaten have changed their positions.

………………

Di Francesco did not make many adjustments. Bruno guessed that the Sassuolo head coach should have a headache at this time and even regretted his starting lineup because he had no way to adjust.

During the counterattack, he took the ball to attack, so he had to put Magnelli at the front of the penalty area to protect him.

Kurtic and Missiroli are separated on both sides. They are the key to the team's ball control organization and passing attack, and they cannot move.

At this time, Buzigoli stepped in and Sassuolo had nothing to do.

Bruno has a feeling that it's not that Sassuolo has become weaker, but that Novara has become stronger, too powerful!

Five months is not too long, but many things can happen, such as allowing Novara to transform!

And he is the key to Novara's transformation!

Mid-range teams like Padua and Bari can't stop Novara, not even relegation teams like Vercelli and Grosseto, and so-called Italian teams like Empoli, Verona and Sassuolo. Team B still doesn’t work!

………………

"The Novara midfielder successfully intercepted the ball again!"

"Tackle by Buzigori, handed to Simone Pese..."

<divclass="contentadv">"Pese dribbled the ball forward, and Novara launched a counterattack, passing the ball behind him..."

"Bruno..."

……

The entire Piola Stadium was completely boiling.

In the first fifteen minutes, Bruno was the most threatening player in Novara's frontcourt. With one shot and one pass, Sassuolo's defense was thrown into chaos.

This time, he retreated further back, then suddenly turned around and crossed into Sassuolo's penalty area.

Magianelli followed him out. He desperately wanted to wrap around Bruno, especially the moment he turned around and started. He even made a pulling action, but he soon let go because he Realized that he had just received a yellow card.

It was like a sword of Damocles, always hanging above his head.

After letting go, he used his body to block Bruno so that Bruno could not relax. At the same time, he hoped that his teammates could come up in time to help defend and fill the position.

………………

After Bruno came to Italy, after more than half a year of training, his physical fitness has also improved a lot. Facing the physical confrontation of Magnanelli, who was about the same height as him but weighed a full five kilograms more than him, he was indeed unable to squeeze away from the Sassuolo captain, but he was also not squeezed away by the opponent.

Especially the moment he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he obviously felt that Magnelli's movements had restrained.

This is a sensitive area, and an accident can result in a penalty kick.

Bruno not only observed the surrounding situation with his peripheral vision, but also stared at Terra Nova in the penalty area.

The Sassuolo defender was a little far away from Magnanelli just now, and at this time he was throwing away Mohammadi and pounced on him.

Bruno could tell the time just by looking at him.

He is sure!

After just stepping into the penalty area, Bruno made adjustments with his first touch of the ball.

Magnanelli is very experienced and immediately realized that Bruno was going to hit the goal.

The captain of Sassuolo didn't care about anything else. He took a step forward, fell to the ground and put down his shovel, intending to block Bruno's shot with his body, but Bruno was obviously faster. By the time Magnanelli realized something was wrong, Bruno had already swung his leg. Get up and hit the door!

………………

"Bruno dribbled the ball into the penalty area..."

"Kick right up and hit the door!"

“The ball went in!!!!”

“GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"Sixteenth minute, sixteenth minute, Novara scored Sassuolo's goal again!"

"It was Bruno's diagonal pass into the penalty area again. Pese's direct pass was just right. Bruno received the ball and walked into the penalty area. Magnanelli was powerless!"

"Tranova was pulled away by Mohammadi and failed to stop Bruno from hitting the goal."

"The ball went directly into the bottom right corner of the goal!"

"3:0!"

"Incredible score!"

“Before the game, people thought it would be an evenly matched battle, but the game only lasted sixteen minutes and it completely deviated from people’s predictions!”

……

The entire Piola Stadium was completely engulfed in carnival.

No one expected that the start would be so smooth. Novara took a three-goal lead in only sixteen minutes of the game.

"It can be said that Bruno was very active in the opening and showed his very good state. The first long shot knocked on the door of Sassuolo, which surprised everyone in Sassuolo, so Mani Yanelli didn't dare to relax her vigilance against him anymore, so she was forced to follow him out, but the result..."

"In this defense, Terranova did have some problems with his defense, but he was also restrained by Muhammadi."

"The characteristics of Novara's three offensive players in the frontcourt are too obvious. This combination gives any opponent a headache."
