Chapter 65 Qualifying for the Europa League
Chapter 65: Qualifying for the Europa League
With his two goals in today's game, Di Natale increased his number of goals in the European War to 19. At the same time, his number of goals in the European War this season has reached 4, which is far away from the European goals he created in the 2011-2012 season. The record of 5 goals in a single season is only one step away.
After replacing Di Natale to give the veteran some rest time, Guidolin sat in the coaching bench with a relaxed expression. He should have no problem winning this Europa League play-off.
There is even no problem with Udinese qualifying for the Europa League. After all, the 4:1 advantage is big enough. Unless Udinese collapses after going to the Czech Republic in the second round, there is no reason to be eliminated.
Guidolin then continued to mobilize his troops. He replaced Pingqi with Mahrez, replaced Domic with Kante, and moved Basta back to play at left back.
The departure of the two veterans drew cheers and applause from the stands of the Stadio Friuli. These two are veterans who have contributed to Udinese's rise in recent seasons and have a high status in the hearts of fans.
The three starting veterans Di Natale, Pingchi and Domic were replaced, but Udinese's goals did not end there.
Muriel, who came on as a substitute, was very active. He made Liberec's center back Kovac very uncomfortable and soon received a yellow card from Muriel.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Bruno passed the ball through. Muriel's shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Udinese got a corner kick. Bruno took the corner kick and substitute Mahrez grabbed it in the small penalty area. From the right spot, he scored with a close shot.
"goooooooooooooooool!!!!!"
"5:1! Mahrez scored for Udinese. The Algerian midfielder who just spent 30 euros for Udinese to import from French second division Le Havre scored his goal just ten minutes after coming on as a substitute. My first goal for Udinese. Just this one goal, Udinese’s 30 euros is worth the price of admission!”
"Udinese now leads Liberec 5:1, what an amazing score!"
………………
In the end, the result of this game was 5:1. Udinese defeated Berec at home and took the lead in the two-leg Europa League play-offs.It can even be said that they have already locked in the qualification for this season's Europa League in advance.
In addition to the amazing performances of Bruno Fernandez and Joao Cancelo who came on the bench, the other two young people who came off the bench, N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez, in limited time His performance was also remarkable, Mahrez even scored a goal.
Others still don't know what this means, but Udinese's new general manager Giaretta is very excited. He didn't expect that the three young players Bruno recommended to him turned out to be very good young people.
To be honest, when Bruno approached him privately and asked him to sign these three young people, he was a little disapproving. Because among these three, except for Joao Cancelo's performance in the World Youth Championship, Kante and Mahrez are only newcomers to Ligue 2. They have not performed in the professional arena before and are truly unknown.
However, considering Bruno's face and not spending much money, he reluctantly made three trips to bring these three people to Udinese.
Before today, Giaretta only learned from head coach Guidolin that these three young people showed good abilities and potential in training, but that was just training and did not have much practical significance.
However, today's game made Giaretta feel that these three signings may be very valuable!
Giaretta really didn't expect that in addition to his superior strength, Bruno contributed 2 shots and 1 pass in his debut, he also had such an accurate eye for people, bringing three newcomers with extraordinary potential to the team.
If these three people can perform well enough at Udinese, it will also be very useful to improve his status in the eyes of boss Pozzo.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, it is believed that these three players were discovered by Cristiano Giaretta.
………………
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Friuli Stadium turned into a sea of cheers.
Although this is not Udinese's first game of the new season, it is the first appearance of the new team at home in the new season. As a result, the team brought them a hearty victory, which naturally made the fans Overjoyed.
Especially the performance of the four young newcomers satisfied them greatly.
<divclass="contentadv">Super talented star Bruno Fernandez, who set the transfer record in team history, showed his talent and strength in this game, with 2 shots and 1 pass, and he also indirectly participated in the other two The goal was the direct director of Udinese's victory.
Another Portuguese starter, young right back Joao Cancelo, also performed very well in the game, contributing on both offense and defense. He was really good at attacking and coming back defensively.
Mahrez, who came off the bench, scored his first goal in just ten minutes, and his performance on the offensive end was excellent.
Another new player, Kanter, who came off the bench, showed his talents on the defensive end. In more than 20 minutes when he came on as a substitute, he covered almost the entire midfield, killing almost all Liberec's offensive threats.
In the last twenty minutes of the game, Liberec did not show any threat. In addition to playing one less player, it was also because of the 22-year-old Frenchman's sweep in the midfield.
Really: new team, new season, new look!
