From the man behind the football king to the football king

Udinese returned to Udine and did not hold a large-scale celebration again, but immediately devoted themselves to preparations for the next game.

On the evening of May 6, local time in Italy, less than 72 hours before the Italian Cup final, Udinese will usher in the 36th round of Serie A at home.

The game was originally due to be played at the weekend, but was postponed for three days to make way for the Italian Cup.

The opponent in this game is Bruno's old club Novara.

For Udinese, this is an important game in their fight for a Champions League spot; for Novara, this game is a key battle on their way to relegation.

With three rounds left in the league, Udinese is only 4 points ahead of Naples, which is not a very safe point difference. If they want to compete for a place in the Champions League, they must win this game.

After 35 league rounds, Novara only scored 25 points, ranking 19th in the league, 3 points less than Bologna in front of them, 3 points less than Sassuolo, and 5 points less than Chievo.

Bruno played very relaxedly in this game because Udinese was completely in control of the situation.

Then the rhythm of the game completely entered Udinese's rhythm.

And Manchester United, led by Sir Alex Ferguson, never scored 100 points during their dominance of the Premier League.

On Udinese's side, although Guidolin made some rotations in the team's lineup, he still retained 6 players who started in the Italian Cup final, which made Udinese's players look a little tired.

How difficult is it to get 100 points? When Arsenal won the Premier League title with an unbeaten season, they only scored 90 points, still 10 points away from 100 points.

………………

Udinese's strong advantage on the court comes from the outstanding performance of several rotation players.

Moreover, the opponent is Novara. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for him to give all his strength to fight to the death. So he basically organizes offense in the midfield or connects in the frontcourt.

"This is obviously at the instruction of coach Guidolin, because the team still has three games to play, including the Europa League final."

So far, only two teams in the history of the five major leagues have achieved this miracle.

Before the game, Bruno exchanged pleasantries with his old teammates in Novara, but when the game started, everyone put away the warm feelings before the game.

After taking the lead, Udinese continued to maintain pressure on Novara, but the Gunners were not at the mercy of others. They soon threatened, but they were never able to break through Udinese's midfield pressure.

After the game, Udinese's performance was unanimously recognized by the Italian media.

Under the control of Udinese, Novara did not pose much danger to Udinese's goal. He only scored a goal through a chaotic battle in the 88th minute.

Although Bruno did not perform very well in this 5:3 game, the media not only did not make any accusations against Bruno, but many media including "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Italian Football" took the initiative In his defense.

Even, as long as Juventus does not lose at home in the final round, they can even become the third team in the history of the five major leagues to reach three-digit points in a single season.

In the 44th minute, Badu made a pass from the wing, and Pereira scored twice, rewriting the score to 4:2.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote: "Bruno obviously focused all his attention on how to help his teammates score goals, which made him forget to score a goal for himself!"

It is worth mentioning that Juventus defeated Roma 1:0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome in this round. They had a record of 32 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in 37 rounds, and their points reached 99 points, which refreshed the 97 points created by Inter Milan in the 2006-2007 season. Serie A single-season points record.

Under such circumstances, if Novara wants to avoid relegation, there will basically be no mistakes in the remaining three league rounds.

Badu and Pingchi jointly contributed 22 steals in the first half, which set a record in Serie A this season. Badu, in particular, performed extremely eye-catchingly and left a deep impression on people.

"Italian Football" believes: "Udinese's next schedule is still intensive, and Bruno is obviously saving energy for the next games."

In the end, Udinese tied with Verona in the away game, reaching 73 points and continuing to rank third in the standings with a 2-point advantage.

More importantly, Ghana's midfielder is not a ball-grabbing machine. He has a very stable ability to pass and play the ball.

In the 54th minute, Taleb passed the ball and Halfredsson scored at the back post, giving the home team a 2-goal lead.

At this time, Guidolin could no longer sit still and immediately made substitution adjustments. Bruno and Di Natale both entered the battle.

On May 10, Udinese visited Bentegodi Stadium to challenge this season's dark horse Verona.

Under the strong pressure of Udinese, the Novara defenders made a mistake. Their foul in the penalty area gave Udinese a penalty kick, but the quality of Di Natale's penalty kick was very poor and was missed by Novara. The Vara goalkeeper pounced.

The winner of the best player this season is Di Natale, who scored twice. The Udinese captain has scored 25 league goals this season and continues to lead the Serie A scorer list.

As for Cagliari further ahead, they have 14 points more than Novara and have already landed ahead of schedule.

In the 56th minute, Bruno scored in the midfield and Pereira made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Di Natale stopped the ball with his left foot 10 meters in front of the goal and turned around. He volleyed with his right foot and hit the crossbar into the net, helping Udinese to score. The score was rewritten as 1:2.

However, Guidolin's wishful thinking soon failed.

………………

This substitution adjustment had an immediate effect, and Udinese took just two minutes to get back one.

………………

………………

In other words, the three relegated teams this season will be among the five teams: Catania, Novara, Bologna, Sassuolo and Chievo.

………………

In the 21st minute, Di Natale knocked across the wing, Bruno played the ball in the middle, Badu followed up and scored with his right foot, and Udinese took the lead.

After taking the lead, Udinese continued to keep the pressure on Novara, but Novara, who was determined to score points and avoid relegation, was not at the mercy of others. He quickly threatened and scored 1 in the 29th minute. The ball tied the score to 2:2.

Catania has finished 36 rounds and only has 24 points, basically locking in a relegation spot; Novara has 25 points in 35 rounds and the pressure to relegation is also very high; Bologna has 28 points in 36 rounds and is also under great pressure; Chievo has 36 points With 30 points in the round, Sassuolo has 31 points in the 36th round, both of which still have great hope of relegation.

After the change of sides, Udinese mainly controlled the game. The team still has two league games and a Europa League final. These three games are all in the next two weeks, and everyone must try to save energy.

Under huge relegation pressure, Novara played very proactively at the Friuli Stadium and scored Udinese's goal early in the 13th minute.

In the 19th minute, Bruno took a corner kick, and Di Natale redeemed himself with a left-footed goal from close range after being offside, leveling the score at 1:1.

In the 14th minute, Agostini was brought down by Alan, Toni hit a penalty kick, and Verona led 1:0.

Because he will compete with Sevilla for this season's Europa League championship at the Allianz Stadium in Turin four days later, Guidolin did not hesitate to choose a large rotation for this game, including Bruno and Di Natale. Many of the main players were given a rest, but Alan and Kanter, the two main midfielders, both started.

In the end, Udinese defeated their opponent 5:3 at home.

Although Napoli subsequently defeated Cagliari 3-0 at home, Udinese still occupied the third position in the standings with a 4-point advantage, occupying a clear advantage in the competition for the Champions League seats next season.

Obviously, Guidolin wanted to replicate the second round of the Europa League against Juventus and rely on defense to win a draw in the away game.

Guidolin also spoke highly of the performance of Udinese players during the halftime break, believing that the team must keep up their efforts and must score 3 points at home to prepare for next season's Champions League. Lay a solid foundation for the competition.

In the 33rd minute, Silva assisted Pereira and succeeded in a shot from the center, surpassing the score again.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that Udinese did not give its best in this game because Bruno did not show his best form. Even after the advantage was established early in the game, several main players including Bruno were disappointed. Playing a little relaxed.

Moreover, Di Natale's two goals in this game brought Di Natale's total number of Serie A goals to more than 200, reaching 201 goals. He is only 4 goals away from Baggio in sixth place!

The performance of several substitute players has also been widely recognized by the media.

However, Novara's goal still stimulated the Udinese players, and they immediately started to exert their strength.

The report of "Turin Sports Daily" has some conspiracy theories. They believe: "Facing his old club, Bruno should be a little reluctant to take action. In the first round of the game, he did not shoot, and this game is still the same. However, Bruno Vara fans will not be grateful to Bruno for showing mercy as he provided four assists for his teammates.”

One minute later, Di Natale also scored two goals with an offside shot, which was a wonderful pass from Ping Qi.

In injury time, Udinese scored another goal. Bruno also launched an offensive in the midfield. He hit the frontcourt with a long ball, Lazzari headed the ball over, and Badu tied the ball with an oblique shot.

Real Madrid was in the sweet period of Mourinho's coaching in the 2011-2012 season. At that time, they were the vanguard against Barcelona Cosmos. Under Mourinho's quick counterattack style, he scored 32 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses throughout the season, scoring a full 100 points!

The attacking line composed of Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Di Maria shined that season, and the team scored a total of 121 league goals!

Just the next season after Real Madrid scored 100 points, Barcelona did the same, with the same 32 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, and the same full 100 points.

Another year later, Juventus is very likely to become the third team in the history of the five major leagues to score 100 points in a single season!
