Chapter 254: Turn your hand to make clouds and turn your hand to make rain

When the game reached the fifty-fifth minute, Guidolin finally couldn't sit still and immediately asked Bruno to warm up.

In fact, as early as the halftime break, the Udinese head coach wanted to make a substitution, but the substitution at halftime would definitely be a psychological blow to the players who were replaced, so Guidolin did not Substitution at midfield.

In the absence of injuries, substitutions in the first half are a humiliation to the starting players, while substitutions in the midfield are more like taking the blame. In any case, this is a psychological blow to the players.

In the 60th minute, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Bruno stood on the sidelines and replaced Marquinho.

The Brazilian midfielder was originally introduced as Bruno's substitute, but in today's game, he proved that he is not a suitable substitute for Bruno.

Bruno came on as a substitute, which immediately made the entire Bentegodi Stadium more than 40,000 Verona fans on tenterhooks.

The head coach Mandolini on the sidelines was very aware of Bruno's threat and kept calling out to the players, reminding them to keep close tabs on Bruno and not give him the slightest chance.

Greco was the first to bear the brunt, but he was also the most troubled because he was not sure and didn't know how to defend himself. If the distance is close, it is easy to get rid of him. If the distance is far, you are worried that he will seize the opportunity to get the ball.

It's really difficult!

Udinese is completely different from Verona. After Bruno returned to the court, the team's morale was greatly boosted and the team's tactics also had a backbone. There are still thirty minutes left, it is still possible to equalize the score or even reverse the opponent.

Moreover, everyone also felt that Verona's physical fitness declined very quickly after the high-intensity pressing and oppression in the previous hour.

………………

Football soon returned to Udinese's feet.

Bruno ran to the left side of the top area of ​​the penalty area and raised his hand to ask for the ball. Itura quickly passed the ball to Bruno's feet.

Bruno was always paying attention to the defensive players. Facing Itura's pass, he used the outside of his right foot to stop on his right side. After adjusting again, he started to hit the goal.

Greco had always defended Maginho before, and his position was always to block the frontal assault, but Bruno ran to the front of the penalty area and the left side of the top area to get the ball, and stopped the ball with his right foot. This time He felt a little uncomfortable once, and when he saw him trying to knock on the door again, he was shocked and rushed out quickly.

But Bruno didn't hit. Instead, he took a small step towards the center with his right foot and suddenly kicked the goal directly.

The football flew quickly past Greco and landed in the lower right corner of the goal, with an obvious rebound on the ground.

Verona goalkeeper Rafael's attention was attracted by the actions of Bruno and Greco. Unexpectedly, Bruno suddenly changed his mind, took a small step inside, and then suddenly hit the goal, and the angle was very tricky, directly Orient to the lower right corner of the goal.

Rafael made a flying save, but was ultimately a step too slow and the ball hit the goal.

1: 1!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!"

"In just the first minute of playing, with the first touch of the ball, Bruno equalized the score for Udinese. This is simply unbelievable!"

"He is like an omnipotent scoring machine. Verona's defensive players are like wooden stakes in front of him, and he bypasses them easily."

………………

After Bruno scored, he did not rush out of the field to celebrate. Instead, he quickly ran towards the goal, picked up the football, and quickly ran to the center line, constantly high-fiving his teammates along the way.

He has been observing from the sidelines for so long, and he has a clear grasp of Verona's defense.

Marquinho sat on the bench, staring at Bruno running back with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He never imagined that Greco, who had just caused him so much trouble and gave himself a headache, and even had the urge to go crazy, would be deceived by Bruno so easily and even score a goal.

This was too exciting for him!

As a Brazilian, Marquinho is still very confident in himself. But today, in this game at the Bentegodi Stadium, he witnessed a scene that he could not believe before. This was really exciting to him.

If he hadn't personally experienced Verona's defense just now, if he hadn't really competed with Greco just now, and he only looked at this goal, he would even think, is Greco too bad? Or did he let it slip on purpose?

I believe fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV at this moment will have this feeling, that is, how could Greco suddenly become so weak and make such a mistake?

But Marquinho knew very well that it was not Greco who was too weak, but Bruno who was too strong. So strong that he has completely nipped all possible responses from Greco in the bud.

This goal will be a huge blow to Greco, who performed well throughout the game!

………………

"Udinese still has the ball."

"Itura dribbled the ball forward and suddenly passed it diagonally to the left."

"Bruno picked up the ball from the left corner of the penalty area, got rid of Greco and cut inside..."

"Beautiful! Bruno changed direction again, passing the ball between Greco and Marcos into the penalty area..."

"Excellent forced breakthrough!"

"Bruno brought it to the small penalty area and passed it across to the center. Di Natale..."

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!"

"Udinese took the lead in the 67th minute!"

"Bruno! Bruno, who came on as a substitute, passed and shot!"

"Through this game, we clearly see that Bruno is so important to Udinese!"

"Verona's two defensive players, Greco and Marcos, were unable to stop him. Bruno directly let Bruno dribble the ball through the gap in the defense and rushed into the penalty area. One person tore apart Verona's entire defense line. .”

"Moras was very angry and kicked the ball into the goal. He had every reason to be depressed about it, because Verona's defense was like paper in front of Bruno. Compared with before, the difference was really huge. Big.”

Mandolini grabbed a handful of hair in frustration, turned around and walked back to the coaching bench. He felt he had to make adjustments quickly.

Ten minutes after Bruno came on as a substitute, Udinese scored two goals in a row. An important part of the reason was that the team's physical fitness could no longer keep up.

Adjustments must be made!

………………

Mandolini made a quick decision and immediately called Eros Pisano over.

The 28-year-old defender was loaned from Palermo in the winter transfer window last year. After joining Verona, his performance was not bad. Mandolini hopes that after he joins, he can strengthen the team's defense. So that we can contain Udinese's offensive.

<divclass="contentadv">And this time he replaced the attacking Brazilian midfielder Matuzalun.

Taking out an attacking midfielder and replacing him with a defender was a last resort.

Mandolini may not know the current situation in Verona before the season, but the game against Lazio already made him very clear about the team's situation.

Lazio, whose offensive strength is not strong, was able to score two goals in a row at the end of the second half. What about Udinese, whose offensive ability is better?

Mandolini didn't dare to gamble on this, so his strategy was very simple. Since he was overtaken, he would do his best to defend and ensure that the team would not completely collapse under Udinese's offensive, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. This is What Verona should do most now.

………………

But just when Mandolini was about to make a substitution, the situation on the court changed again.

In the 72nd minute, Udinese launched another wave of offensive. When Bruno faced the double-teaming of two players, Greco and Marcos, he first tried to cut inside the center, but suddenly buckled the ball back and took the lead. He pushed towards the bottom line and then accelerated to catch up.

"A beautiful human goal..."

After Bruno broke away from Verona's defense, he chased after him as quickly as possible. After catching up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he passed the low ball with his left foot to the back point. Di Natale followed up with understanding. Headed the goal while being defended, 3:1!

"Reversal! Udinese once again completed an amazing comeback after falling behind!"

"From 0:1 to 3:1, it only took twelve minutes!"

"Verona can no longer keep up with Udinese's pace. I don't know if Verona can stabilize their position!"

"Mandolini made a substitution, replacing Brazilian midfielder Matuzalun with defender Pisano. At the same time, Taleb's position retreated to the midfielder. Verona changed from 433 to 532."

"This is a substitution to strengthen the midfield defense. Mandolini is obviously aware of the problems in the team."

………………

After scoring three goals in a row and completing the reversal, Udinese did not slow down its offensive.

Soon, Guidolin replaced Itura with Taylor.

This is a very brave and courageous substitution, showing Udinese's determination and courage to go further.

And just after Udinese made the substitution, there were changes again on the court.

In the 77th minute, when Udinese stole the ball in the midfield, they quickly counterattacked. Ed Nelson sent the ball to the left side of the front court. Bruno caught up with the ball as quickly as possible and then took the ball. Rush into the penalty area.

When Greco was lagging behind, he suddenly made a flying tackle from behind, knocking Bruno and Bruno out of the penalty area with the ball.

This fierce defensive move caused Bruno to roll twice on the court and also shocked the Udinese players.

Di Natale and other teammates rushed forward immediately, and the Udinese captain pushed Greco away angrily, roaring at Greco's brutality, and Verona players also rushed forward. , supporting Greco.

The atmosphere in the stadium was tense and the scene was on the verge of breaking out.

The referee immediately stepped forward to separate everyone and signaled Udinese's team doctor to enter immediately. At the same time, he showed a red card to Greco and sent him off the field.

"Verona's players are indeed a little excited now! Especially Greco, who made a fierce tackle from behind just now. It is estimated that he will be punished additionally after the game. This is a very irrational foul. But at the same time, It reminds Udinese and Bruno that they must learn to protect themselves."

"In just ten minutes as a substitute, Bruno completely changed the game. Udinese scored three goals in a row, all from Bruno. This was a painful blow to Verona, but it also made them cherish Bruno. If you are resentful and angry, you will naturally lose some of your weight."

"I still hope Bruno won't get hurt."

………………

When Bruno was carried off the court by team doctors and stretchers, the coaching staff and players on the bench gathered around him. What they saw was that there was a lot of blood on Bruno's right calf, staining the entire shoes and socks red, which looked horrible. But the team doctor shook his head at Guidolin, indicating that he was fine.

"It must have been scratched by a shoe nail."

Bruno also sat up and saw the wound exposed after the team doctor took off his shoes and socks. It was not very deep and seemed to be fine. He knew that it was just a skin injury and it was not a problem. This made him let out a sigh of relief.

"I saw him, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel and didn't have time to hide." Bruno said with a bitter smile.

"He probably didn't mean any harm, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to laugh now." The team doctor shook his head.

Guidolin also shook his head and signaled Portolucci to let Badu warm up.

Now the score is 3:1, Udinese has reversed, and the opponent has one less player. The situation is favorable to Udinese, but those bastards in Verona are already hot-headed, and they are probably holding back their energy now. If If Bruno goes up again, God knows what will happen again?

In order to score one or two more goals, it's not worth it to keep your top star here.

So, soon, Badu replaced Bruno.

He came on the field in the 60th minute, and in the 79th minute, Bruno only played for 19 minutes, but directed three Udinese goals.

………………

Subsequently, Udinese continued to pursue Verona fiercely. Udinese's Felipe and Cancelo, as well as Verona's Marcos and Halfredson and other players received yellow cards one after another. , among which Cancelo almost had a conflict with the opponent once.

Cancelo was very dissatisfied with the opponent's tackle on Bruno.

However, the score on the field was not changed again, and Udinese finally reversed Verona 3:1 away from home.

At the post-match press conference, Udinese head coach Guidolin publicly criticized Greco's brutal foul, believing it to be a destructive foul that should not appear on the court.

"Our team doctor helped him stop the bleeding for the time being, but the specific injury assessment will not be known until detailed tests and scans, but we all believe that this time it may be quite serious." Guidolin looked resentful. said.

If Bruno appeared at the press conference and saw Guidolin's expression at this time, he would definitely be in awe.

It would be a waste not to go to Hollywood to act!

Judging from Guidolin's reaction, people who didn't know must have thought that Bruno's right foot was useless this time.

Of course, this should be considered a tactic.

If Udinese does nothing now and directly tells the outside world that Bruno is fine and just has a slight skin injury, will other teams follow suit next time?

One of the important reasons for Udinese making a fuss this time is to protect their players.
