Chapter 8 Showtime
Chapter 8 Showtime
As a Serie B league, this game does not attract much attention. Only the local TV stations where the two teams are located are broadcasting the game live. Big media such as Sky TV and RAI have not arranged live broadcast.
In the suburbs of the small town of Novara, Mr. Rich and his family were sitting around the living room watching the live broadcast of the game.
When Bruno came on as a substitute, their family was very happy: the child (brother) who lived in their house finally made his professional debut!
Although they only got along for less than a month, the Rich family liked Bruno very much.
In the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Rich, Bruno is a polite and extremely hard-working child. He is very pure and only has football in his eyes. This makes him go to Novanello to participate in the team every day. In addition to training and two hours of Italian language learning, I took the football to the community court to train alone.
Although they have not been given the chance to make their debut, the couple are very confident that this child will definitely be able to play!
In the eyes of the two little ones, Isabella and Abraham, the eldest brother who lives at home is a person who loves to laugh. He smiles every time they see him.
It's just that they have too few opportunities to see him, only at breakfast and dinner every day, and at other times they can't see Bruno, giving people a feeling of elusiveness.
Now, they finally see Bruno playing, even in garbage time when the team has basically secured the victory. In their opinion, it is very happy.
As for performance, they didn't have much expectations.
The game has entered garbage time!
But then, they saw a jaw-dropping scene: In just 27 seconds, Bruno single-handedly penetrated Cesena's defense and scored with a beautiful left-footed curve ball. Sent into Cesena's goal!
This... this is too powerful!
The Rich family were all shocked by Bruno's performance. The guy who lived with them day and night was actually so strong? !
………………
Amid the shock of Mr. Rich's family, the voice of local commentator Di Canio came on the television.
"Bruno shoots! Beautiful!"
"4:1! Novara once again has a three-goal lead! The goal was scored by a young player who has just joined the team for a month, Bruno from Portugal!!"
At this time, the TV screen was watching Bruno's goal from different angles, while Di Canio quickly flipped through the information and said: "This is the fastest goal record for a debut in the history of Serie B! The distance is Only 27 seconds have passed since Bruno came on stage! Bruno set a record!"
"He completed a two-on-one with his midfield partner Buchigori, used his speed to get rid of the Cesena left-back, and then used a beautiful stop to pass through to complete the inside cut and then connected with a ground-breaking kick. The shot! This line, this angle, this ball speed! It’s simply incomprehensible! Even if it’s Buffon standing in front of the goal! Not to mention that the opponent is just Cesena’s goalkeeper!”
"The Portuguese midfielder, who just celebrated his 18th birthday yesterday, scored a very beautiful goal. This is a meeting gift he gave to the Italian fans and an adult gift he gave to himself!"
"Welcome to Italy!"
"Happy birthday!"
"Enjoy your moment!! Portuguese boy!!!"
………………
This conceded goal was a huge blow to Cesena.
After a quick comeback in the second half, Cesena, playing at home, once saw hope of scoring points. But after they attacked for almost half an hour, the score on the field was still 1:3. They were 2 goals behind and one person behind.
During this period of offense, although Cesena, with ten men to challenge, took the initiative, the players also put in more energy, putting them all in a physical bottleneck period.
Then Bruno came on the scene and penetrated their defense with one attack and sent the ball into their goal.
This is a huge mental blow to the Cesena players!
The opponent is too strong and cannot be defeated by us!
The huge mental blow, coupled with the physical problems encountered, caused the Cesena team to encounter a huge crisis. In the subsequent games, they became confused and a little tired of coping.
Novara, whose morale was greatly improved, continued to besiege Cesena.
<divclass="contentadv">The most active player is Bruno. He seems to create a threat every time he takes the ball in the frontcourt. Cesena's left back and midfielder players are all hurt by Bruno's breakthrough. yellow card.
In terms of number of shots, Bruno completed three shots in ten minutes, and all three hits were within the goal range.
Fortunately, they were all long-range shots from outside the penalty area, and the Cesena goalkeeper saved all his shots. However, the confusion of the Cesena defense when facing Bruno was also noticed.
………………
"Bruno! Another long shot from outside the penalty area! The ball was so fast! The Cesena goalkeeper probably felt a chill in his heart when he saved the ball. This ball might have gone in if his wrist strength was a little weaker!"
The TV screen was replaying Bruno's shot just now. He took the ball near the center circle, turned around, took the ball directly to the edge of the penalty area, and then kicked the goal directly. Unfortunately, this shot was saved by the Cesena goalkeeper.
After being beaten several times by Bruno, Cesena finally reacted and began to shrink its defense in an all-round way, compressing the breakthrough space for Bruno and Novara players.
With almost the entire Cesena team defensively, Bruno and Novara players could only change the way they played and frequently threatened Cesena's goal with long shots.
Although long-range shots are a weapon against the iron barrel formation, it does not mean that the goal rate of long-range shots is very high.
Long shots have never been an efficient means of scoring, but only because other offensive methods are even more inefficient when facing the iron barrel formation!
Breaking dense defense is a worldwide problem in football matches!
Of course, this also has a lot to do with Italian football's tradition of focusing on defense, and Cesena was only relegated from Serie A last season. Although their original lineup has fallen apart this summer, some members of the team have still been retained.
Take Cesena's goalkeeper Teodorani, for example. He was originally Cesena's substitute goalkeeper. He joined the team at the age of eighteen, but he never got many opportunities during this period. It wasn't until Cesena was relegated this season and the original veteran goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli retired that he got a chance to start.
Although he had not had many chances to play before, he had played for the team for many years and had a tacit understanding and cooperation with his two central defenders. Therefore, Bruno's three consecutive long shots outside the penalty area were resolved by him!
………………
"What a nice guy."
Texel saw all this, and he certainly knew why Bruno was so eager to perform.
He is now more and more interested in Bruno. In the past ten minutes, this Portuguese boy has shown him wind-like speed, extraordinary ball feel, superb dribbling, sharp breakthroughs, and precise passes. Ball, changeable shooting skills...
So... what other weapons do you have? Just show it off! !
Just like the progress bar in the game, Bruno's ten-minute performance has greatly improved the progress bar in Tessel's mind, but Bruno still needs to perform more before he can be confirmed as the starter.
Of course, Bruno also knows that scoring a goal in the first game of this game is just an unexpected surprise. For him personally, he needs to show enough strength in the game to impress Tessel.
Under the actual combat test, Bruno can also clearly feel that after more than a month of high-standard and strict training by the system father, his strength is indeed much stronger than when he was in the Boavista Youth Team. , stopping, passing and shooting are all better.
He constantly catches the ball, passes people, passes the ball, and looks for opportunities to shoot.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his level is a level higher than everyone else on the court now!
Especially his ability with the ball, which tortured Cesena's defenders to the point where they almost wanted to ask to be replaced.
After coming on as a substitute, the focus of the audience was almost all on Bruno. He is now the most shining player on the court.
This is his showtime!
