Chapter 9 An almost perfect debut

Chapter 9 An almost perfect debut

Again!

In this game, Novara played in a 442 formation. Bruno came off the bench and served as the right midfielder, but he did not fix his position at all. He was everywhere in the frontcourt.

For example, when he scored his first career goal, he appeared on the right. But the next few long-range shots were both in the center and some on the left.

This time, he appeared on the left.

Cesena's right back is Emanuele Fonte, a talented defender who is well-known in Italy. This 20-year-old right back has attracted the attention of many Serie A teams.

But at this moment, facing Bruno, who is two years younger than him, Fonte has withstood the biggest test in his career.

After playing for more than 80 minutes, Fonte's physical fitness was about to reach its limit, but he met Bruno who had just come on as a substitute and was in high spirits.

When he saw Bruno once again getting the ball on the left wing, Fonte had no choice but to face it. At the same time, he immediately called his teammates to help defend, including Cesena's right midfielder, a midfielder and a Center back.

At this time, Fonte and their right midfielder came up one after another, the defensive midfielder dragged back to help defend, and the center back firmly guarded the penalty area. It seemed that there was no flaw at all, but the eyes of the fans in front of the TV Full of expectations, looking forward to Bruno's magician-like performance, because similar scenes have appeared many times in the previous ten minutes.

………………

"Here we go again! Bruno holds the ball and faces multiple double-teams. What skills will he show this time!" Di Canio, the local TV commentator in Novara, couldn't help but shout.

Bruno fiddled with the football with his right foot like a master playing the violin.

"This is the player with the best sense of the ball I have ever seen." Di Canio couldn't help but sigh after seeing this.

Under the camera, Bruno was not watching the ball, but the football was like a cute elf, spinning around his feet.

He suddenly paused, like the rhythm of a symphony suddenly changing, flicking and dunking his right foot, and then dunking the ball to the other side with his left foot.

These two effortless spikes made Fonte and Cesena's right midfielders pick up the pace and involuntarily tilt their center of gravity to the left.

Bruno's center of gravity then shifted to the right, he easily hooked the ball with his right foot, and kicked hard with his left foot. His body was like an arrow leaving the string, and his super starting speed instantly passed the two Cesena players cleanly.

While the two were adjusting their center of gravity, their feet slipped and their bodies fell backwards, completely losing their defensive position.

The Cesena midfielder who was assisting in defense had to rush forward quickly and made a desperate defense - sliding tackle!

This is a one-shot deal, either successfully keeping Bruno, or letting Bruno directly face the defense.

He had to because he had no other defensive options.He can't keep up with the speed, nor can he keep up with the rhythm. The only method available now is to foul!

………………

"Be careful!!"

Amid the exclamations of Di Canio and the fans, Bruno seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. Suddenly, he stopped suddenly, and the Cesena midfielder could only watch as his body passed by Bruno. , he didn’t touch anything, and his body slid forward very far under the action of inertia.

When he looked back, Bruno had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area. The tall Cesena center back was like a wooden stake in front of Bruno, handing over his center of gravity with a feint.

Fortunately, Cesena goalkeeper Alex Teodorani had already attacked in time and quickly jumped in front of Bruno.

"Bruno!! Oh oh oh!! Four people have passed, and now the one standing in front of him is Teodorani!"

Teodorani attacked very quickly, and his position selection and blocking posture were also very standard, blocking Bruno's possible shooting route to the greatest extent.

He even deliberately exposed the top of his head, preparing to induce Bruno to take a shot.

One-on-one football is a battle of wits between the goalkeeper and the forward.

In the blink of an eye, Bruno had already dribbled the ball in front of Teodorani.

Teodorani breathed a huge sigh of relief. The closer the distance between him and his opponent, the smaller the angle of the opponent's shot, and the higher the success rate of the save.

At this moment, a scene occurred that made Teodorani very desperate: Bruno passed the ball!

He just pushed the ball gently towards the center, and Novara forward Mohammadi who followed up easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.

<divclass="contentadv">Teodorani was shocked, why did that guy pass the ball? Aren't most offensive players supposed to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper?

What the hell is a pass?

………………

Everyone was very surprised. After all, after passing four opponents' players in one breath, when facing the goalkeeper alone, almost all players would not choose to pass the ball. They would either directly take a kick, or pass the goalkeeper and then shoot. .

At that moment, who only has the goal in their eyes?

Who knows if any of our own players are following up in the middle?

But to almost everyone's expectation, Bruno chose to pass the ball without any hesitation, and the pass also bypassed another Cesena central defender and accurately passed to the feet of his own forward Mohammedi.

It is obvious that during the breakthrough process, he has been paying attention to the situation in the middle and has a clear understanding of the positions of the players on both sides.

To be honest, Mohammadi was very surprised the moment he saw the football appearing in front of him.

He just pushed forward as usual and did not think that Bruno would pass the ball under such circumstances.

That’s so selfless!

Is there such a person?

After subconsciously pushing the ball into Cesena's empty goal, Mohammadi was stunned for a moment, and then he ran towards Bruno who rushed out of the baseline to thank him for his selfless assist.

Other Novara players also followed suit to celebrate Mohammadi's four goals today.

Although the goal was scored by Mohammadi, Bruno was at the center of the celebration.Everyone knows that % of the credit for this goal must be attributed to Bruno.

As for Mohammadi’s goal, they, even their grandma, could have scored it!

Even among the commentators, the focus of discussion is Bruno.Talk about his series of beautiful breakthroughs, his precise passing, and his selflessness...

………………

As Bruno sent out his first career assist in the game, helping Novara rewrite the score to 5:1, Cesena's fighting spirit was completely crushed.

In the 85th minute of the game, Bruno completed a strong one-two with his teammates in the middle and then took a powerful shot. The football bypassed the interception of Cesena goalkeeper Teodorani, but accidentally hit the post and bounced In the penalty area, Novara's other forward Pablo Gonzalez tipped the ball into the net.

Bruno once again received an assist.

6: 1!

That was the final score of the game as the referee blew the three full-time whistles shortly after Novara scored his sixth goal.

After the game, although the best of the game was taken away by Mohammadi who scored four goals, Bruno also received high praise.

Even Italian heavyweight newspapers such as "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Gazzetta dello Sport" mentioned the young Portuguese midfielder in their reports the next day, although only in an inconspicuous corner.

Who said this game is just a Serie B match?

In Novara, Bruno quickly won the love of fans.

Boys who love to laugh are always lovable, not to mention this boy who plays football so well!

In the mind of head coach Tessel, Bruno said that although he has not yet risen to the point of entering the main lineup immediately, he has decided to give him more opportunities to perform.

Of course, this is not to say that Texel thinks Bruno is not capable enough to start in Novara, but he believes that Bruno still needs a process of integrating into the team.

That would be a better choice for both Bruno and Novara.
