Chapter 78: Attack 1 city first

Chapter 78: Win the first city

The cheers at the Friuli Stadium were loud.

Roberto Pereira, who successfully countered offside, was excited, knowing this was his chance.

The Argentine midfielder, who is about to turn 23, joined Udinese in 2011 and secured his main position last season.

However, with the addition of Bruno and Mahrez this summer, Udinese has become very full of personnel in the midfield and frontcourt, which has greatly compressed Pereira's playing time, which also gave him a strong feeling Sense of crisis.

Because Bruno, as a super talent who created Udinese's historical transfer record, locked a starting midfielder spot from the moment he arrived.

With his outstanding performance in the early part of the season, Mahrez has received more and more playing time, and the media also praised this.

Even Basta, the team's vice-captain, is often forced to play as a defender. It's surprising that Pereira can stay calm.

He now pays special attention to every scoring opportunity.

Because he faced a devilish schedule, the head coach rotated the team's lineup, and he got the chance to start today. Pereira was full of fighting spirit. He wanted to prove that the head coach made the right decision to start him, and he wanted to prove that he was worthy. First release.

Pereira showed commendable composure when faced with the attacking Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto.

He did not hesitate and shot directly into the far corner. The football drew an arc and passed by the left hand side of Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto.

Neto has nothing to do with such a close and decisive shot. He can only hope that Pereira's shooting level is relatively poor.

Then he heard the roar of the Friuli Stadium.

The Fiorentina goalkeeper felt cold, he knew it was over.

The football almost stuck to the inside of the far post and spun into the goal!

………………

"Pereira! Pereira! Pereira! He scored, Udinese scored, 1:0! They took the lead!!"

"Beautiful!! Pereira's shot! In the 34th minute of the game, Udinese finally took a one-goal lead!"

"A key goal. Facing a densely defensive team, the first goal is the most critical. This is the goal that breaks the deadlock."

"1:0, this goal means that Fiorentina's defensive tactics have failed. They are now behind, and there is no point in retreating to defend. Once Fiorentina presses out, it will mean greater trouble for them. , because Udinese is one of the teams best at counterattacking quickly."

The Fiorentina players obviously thought of this, so they seemed very frustrated and stood in the field in a daze watching the Udinese people celebrating.

Pereira, who scored, opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag area. He waved his fist towards the stands in celebration.

In the footage, Udinese fans rushed forward like a tide, celebrating excitedly.

In the stadium, other Udinese players also gathered around Pereira to celebrate together. This goal was so timely and crucial, like piercing the window paper.

This will be the goal that opens the door to victory!

………………

On the sidelines, Guidolin stood up from his seat. He just applauded, and then stood there looking at the court. He did not celebrate wildly. In this way, he told the players: One ball would not satisfy him!

Fiorentina's head coach Montella is also dissatisfied with the current score. Since taking over Fiorentina last summer, Fiorentina, which has been hovering in the middle of Serie A, has undergone a transformation. Not only does it play very beautiful offensive football, but it also ranked third in Serie A last season. Four, right in front of Udinese.

Today at the Friuli Stadium, Montella chose a more conservative tactic, because judging from the previous games, what Udinese likes most is to attack their opponents.

However, after Udinese scored the first goal, Montella found that his decision was wrong. The bus tactic made the Florence players a little at a loss and failed to achieve the results he expected.

That being the case, it's time to return Florence to a familiar state.

Anyway, the team is lagging behind now, and if they want to change the situation, they must attack.

………………

Twelve minutes later, Montella found that he was wrong again, because Fiorentina who pressed the attack was counterattacked by Udinese.

Bruno plays a long ball to Mahrez.

Fiorentina midfielder Aquilani knew he couldn't keep up with Mahrez's speed, so he could only reach out and pull Mahrez down.

The referee showed Aquilani a yellow card.

Free kick for Udinese.

<divclass="contentadv">Bruno fired a beautiful arc, and Fiorentina goalkeeper Neto had nothing to do with the ball.

"GOOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!!"

"Bruno Fernandez! Beautiful arc, Bruno scored from a direct free kick."

"The first half entered stoppage time, and Udinese scored another victory from midfielder Bruno Fernandez, leading Fiorentina at home by two goals!"

……

Not long after this goal, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and Udinese entered the halftime break with a two-goal advantage.

………………

After the start of the second half, with a two-goal lead, Guidolin asked Udinese to adopt more conservative tactics in preparation for the next schedule.

After all, when the advantages are obvious, it is very important for Udinese, who are about to face an ultra-intense schedule, to allow players to save some physical energy as much as possible.

Fiorentina, who played away from home, took the offensive, which is also the choice they have to make now, unless they accept defeat.

Until the 70th minute of the game, the score was still 2:0.

Guidolin began to mobilize his troops. McSuel, who had been out for nearly a month due to injury, came on as a substitute and replaced Mahrez.

Alan, who had reconciled with Guidolin, came on as a substitute, replacing veteran Ping Qi.

The last substitution was given to Muriel, who replaced captain Di Natale.

Udinese's third goal came in the 81st minute of the game.

The young Muriel showed his speed and flexibility to the home audience. He used his speed to break through the Spanish Borja Valero on the wing, and then suddenly stopped and changed direction, cut directly from the center, and faced him. Defender Rodriguez fired a low shot that caused goalkeeper Neto to make a save, and Erto followed up and succeeded with a supplementary shot.

3: 0!

This is the goal that completely sealed the victory.

Ten minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Udinese beat Fiorentina 3-0 at home.

This is also the second time this season that Udinese has defeated the top six teams in the standings, and it also gives the team a good start in this devilish schedule.

………………

This round of Serie A is a situation of frequent upsets.

Naples faced Parma, ranked 16th in the league, at home. Everyone thought that Naples, with its overwhelming attack power, would usher in another big victory at home. However, when the game ended, the score was 0:1.

International practice is that the home team comes first.

In Bologna, Inter Milan drew 1:1 with the home team.

At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Cagliari, who are in the middle of the Roma standings, drew a goalless draw. Since their 8-game winning streak was ended by Udinese, Roma seems to have lost its soul, with only 4 win and 1 draws in 3 league rounds.

Among the top six teams in the standings, apart from Udinese, only Juventus has won. The Old Lady defeated Bruno's old club Novara 2:0 at the Piola Stadium.
