Chapter 27 The Name of Bruno
Chapter 27 The Name of Bruno
"Novara passed the ball to the right and handed it to Bruno!"
"Bruno starts quickly, spikes the ball and changes direction, cutting inside!"
"Pretty!"
……
"Beep!" As the referee blew his whistle, Bari's left back, 36-year-old veteran Alessandro Parisi, climbed up from the grass panting.
Bruno was still lying next to him, uninjured, but looking excited.
"Damn Portuguese boy!" Parisi cursed in his heart and backed away slowly.
At the last moment of the first half, Bruno suddenly turned offside and crossed into Barry's penalty area, even passing the goalkeeper.If it weren't for the last moment when Barry's right center back used his body and a suspected handball to block his shot, Novara would have scored.
This serious mistake caused Parisi, the left back, and the left center back to be severely criticized by the head coach during the halftime break. Coach Barry obviously could not accept that the team's defense had such a mistake. Mistakes.
Parisi was also holding back his anger, and he decided to give the Portuguese boy a good look in the second half.
After changing sides in the second half, less than two minutes into the game, Bruno saw Bruno get a one-on-one opportunity and suddenly spike the ball and cut inside. He was anxious and immediately fouled decisively.
The referee quickly ran over, raised a yellow card towards him, and gave him a warning.
………………
Parisi slowly stepped back, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Bruno who was pulled up from the ground by Novara's captain Rudy, feeling very emotional in his heart.
He still clearly remembered that more than four months ago, the two teams met at the San Nicola Stadium. At that time, both Novara and Bruno were still at a low point. Novara had just suffered a six-game losing streak, while Bruno was It was the embarrassment of eight games without assists or goals.
It was on Barry that Bruno sent an assist, ending the embarrassment of eight games without goals and assists. Novara also achieved two consecutive victories, declaring that it was officially out of the trough, and started a 21-game winning streak that later shocked Italian football.
More than four months later, the two teams met again, but Bruno was already the star player of Novara, leading Novara to a terrifying record of 21 consecutive victories. He himself also became a new rising star in Italian football, and was praised by many. Several Serie A teams are competing for it, including giants like Juventus and Milan.
In tonight's game, he also performed very bravely and was obviously in excellent condition. He kept running throughout the game, constantly looking for opportunities, which made it extremely difficult for him to play against him.
It didn't feel like guarding an 18-year-old kid at all, but more like guarding a top European player.
As a 36-year-old veteran, Parisi has seen a lot. He played in Serie A for many seasons during his time at Messina and Bari, and often competed against the top stars of those wealthy teams.
He felt that his feelings were correct.
………………
Head coach Barry kept calling on the players to pay attention to the defensive formation on the sidelines.
What Novara got was a set-kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt, which was quite a threat.
Alessandro Parisi had clearly lost his position just now and was forced to foul.
Coach Barry really can't complain about his left back. He believes that the 36-year-old veteran really tried his best in this defense.
It can only be said that Bruno's sudden start with the ball and the subsequent change of direction of the smash were really too fast!
"The speed of this kid's progress is really amazing!" the assistant coach shook his head and sighed.
He still clearly remembers that when the two sides played at the San Nicola Stadium more than four months ago, Bruno was not as strong as he is now.
In four or five months, he was like a rocket, quickly making up for his shortcomings and deficiencies, and at the same time constantly improving his advantages. Whether it was an attack with the ball or the change of direction just now, he left a lot of impression on people. Made an extremely deep impression.
Bruno now has the strength and magnanimity of a first-tier European star. Especially now, looking at his general demeanor when he directs his teammates to set up set-piece tactics on the court, it is really hard to imagine that he is not yet ten years old. Nine years old.
………………
"Alessandro has a yellow card. Next, Novara will definitely use Bruno to attack our left wing and let the people in front retreat appropriately to help defend Alessandro." Head coach Bari Lay out the road.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bruno on the court kicked a high-level set kick.
"Novara takes the free kick."
"Bruno made a curved pass with his right foot into the penalty area!"
"There's someone missing in the middle!"
<divclass="contentadv">"Gonzalez grabbed the first shot and headed the goal!"
……
There was only a muffled sound heard at the scene. The football hit the crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area.
The more than 10,000 Novara fans in the Piola Stadium all let out an exclamation, followed by a sigh of disappointment.
"What a pity!"
"The Argentinian striker's header hit the crossbar."
"Novaara's set-piece attack was very thoughtful. Bruno's free throws were of a very high level and the placement was quite accurate. Gonzalez quickly inserted a header to attack the goal. The entire set-piece was coordinated very beautifully. But it was very It’s a pity that Gonzalez’s header was a little bit worse.”
"Bruno is still the most threatening player on the Novara pitch. Barry obviously intends to strengthen the defense against Bruno's active left wing."
………………
In this wave of attacks at the beginning of the second half, Novara built up its own morale and rhythm.
Bruno soon got another chance on the right. Rudy made a direct pass, Bruno retreated, turned around when stopping the ball, and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
Bari's left midfielder tightly entangled Bruno, but Rudy quickly stepped in, drawing Bruno's defensive attention. Alessandro Parisi was forced to follow Novara's right back.
Bruno suddenly accelerated and used his speed to dribble away from Barry's midfield entanglement and dribble straight into the penalty area.
This frightened Barry's midfielder and he quickly rushed over to help defend. But Bruno's speed did not slow down, and he rushed directly into the penalty area with great momentum. This made Barry's midfielder very passive and could never find a chance to make a move. The closer he got to the penalty area, the less he dared to make moves easily, and could only keep retreating.
But just as he retreated into the penalty area, Bruno spotted an opportunity and suddenly moved the ball horizontally, and the football passed between the two Bari players.
Buzigori quickly stepped in and hit with his right foot!
"Bruno crosses the ball...Buccigori hits the goal directly!"
The football flew towards the goal at an extremely fast speed, but slightly missed the upright and went out of the baseline.
Buzigori knelt on the edge of Barry's penalty area, feeling extremely regretful.He was so anxious about the shot he just took!
He has been waiting for the opportunity, always waiting for Bruno to pass the ball. He always believed that Bruno could pass the ball, and in fact Bruno also passed the ball.
But when the opportunity came, he wasted it.
The Novara fans in the stands once again let out a sigh of disappointment, but soon responded with applause.
Many fans were shouting Bruno's name, and some were shouting Buzigoli.
"The fans of Novara are supporting their players."
"After the start of the second half, Novara started its own offensive and played vigorously. Bruno, in particular, was extremely active and frequently created opportunities for his teammates. But unfortunately, other Novara players still have the ability to seize opportunities. Lacking, otherwise Novara would already be ahead."
………………
Bruno just sprinted 20 meters with the ball, which also consumed a lot of energy.
On the football field, the most consuming thing is this kind of quick sprint. Bruno can only do it more than thirty times a game, and after each quick sprint, he needs a little time to slow down.
Bruno's physical fitness is very good, but after all, he is still relatively young and his body is far from reaching its peak condition.
"It's okay." Bruno walked over, pulled up Buzigoli, and encouraged, "It's okay, Daniele, I will pass the ball again and try to catch it next time."
Buzigoli turned around and hugged Bruno, his heart full of apologies. This was an opportunity that Bruno had finally fought for, but he wasted it.
Sometimes in a game, such an opportunity can only come once. If it is wasted, it may not appear again.
Bruno patted his shoulder hard and said loudly: "Believe me! If we work harder, the goal will definitely come!"
Bruno's loud appeal attracted the attention and even hostility of the Barry players, but so what?
This is the Piola Stadium!
As long as he can kill Barry and win the game, even if he is hated by the opponent's players, it will be very satisfying.
Novara wants to score, this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.
Bruno wants to help Novara score a goal under the watchful eyes of the Bari players!
