From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 248 Attacking the Golden Globe Award

At the post-match press conference, Guidolin became the protagonist of the media reporters' attention.

"I'm happy with the way we played today because we played to our level."

"We were once behind a very good team, but when we were behind, we fully demonstrated our personality and played very tenaciously. This is a very positive factor and will be a great help to us throughout the season."

"To be honest, I was disappointed when the goal was scored so early, because I wanted to put pressure on the opponent from the beginning, but sometimes the game is like this, there are many uncontrollable factors. Fortunately, after conceding the goal early, , the whole team performed very well, which allowed us to turn the situation around quickly.”

Guidolin also praised Udinese players by name. The first one he mentioned was left back Cancelo. He believed that although the Portuguese defender made mistakes, his overall performance was quite outstanding and he played very well.

There is also new aid Nuel Itura. He also believes that the 31-year-old Chilean midfielder has worked very hard and has shown his strength.

"I think we can get a satisfactory result after the group stage."

Although Di Natale only played for less than ten minutes, his appearance as a substitute was very encouraging.

………………

The partnership between Maguire and Danilo played quite well in this game. Coupled with the double midfielder combination of Badu and Itura, Manchester United basically did not get a decent opportunity.

………………

Of course, this is not because Udinese is really that strong, but because Manchester United did perform very poorly in this game. Coupled with being suppressed at the tactical level, Van Gaal was powerless.

In addition to Sky Sports and Gazzetta dello Sport, other major media in the UK and Italy have also focused on reporting on this key matchup.

"It was such a complete defeat that Van Gaal, in his post-match press conference, accused his players of playing as poorly as amateurs."

"Actually, we had a good start. We established an early lead. I thought at the time that we could build on this and get better and better. But what I didn't expect was that we were hit hard."

"My opinion about the whole game is that Udinese played better than us, much better. They tackled hard, caused us problems, forced us into mistakes and we didn't respond well. This hand is the root of our failure.”

"Obviously, he is getting better every game and I believe he can play an increasingly important role in the team."

For other players, Guidolin basically passed by, but when reporters asked questions about Bruno, Guidolin couldn't stop.

Udinese players generally scored between 7 and 8 points. Only captain Di Natale and Erto, who came on as substitutes in the final stage, scored 6 points.

After winning this game, Udinese can be said to be aiming for the knockout rounds of the Champions League, but Guidolin believes that it is not that easy.

Compared to Guidolin, Van Gaal was furious when answering questions at the post-match press conference.

The loss of power in the midfield put Manchester United into a passive position.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" commented that this should not appear at all in a strong dialogue between top teams.

Sky Sports announced the player ratings of this game immediately after the game. Bruno scored 9.5 points, close to a perfect score, and won the best player of the game, and he did get the best player of the game after the game. .

In addition to announcing the player ratings of the game, Sky Sports also wrote a report specifically for Bruno, believing that Bruno was the most eye-catching player in this game and once again supported Udinese when the team was in a downturn. The strong beams withstood the pressure.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" used the front-page headline "complete victory" to describe Udinese's game. They listed the key statistics of this game. Udinese crushed Manchester United 25 to 6 in the number of shots, almost five times as many as the Red Devils. This undoubtedly embarrassed Van Gaal's team.

"Except for the number of fouls in 10 vs. 18, in all other statistics, Manchester United is at a disadvantage without exception."

You know, Manchester United spent a lot of money this summer, including Martial for 50 million euros, Depay for 35 million euros, Schneiderlin for 34 million euros, Damian for 18 million euros, and Depay for 15 million euros. Bastian Schweinsteiger, Manchester United's total investment in the transfer market exceeded 150 million euros, and Van Gaal also won the title of Fan Thousand Billionaires.

With such a huge investment, Manchester United's goal is naturally to win the Premier League and Champions League titles.

………………

"I think if we want to advance to the knockout rounds, we need to do two things well. One is to continue to maintain our performance advantage over the top teams. We got precious three points from Manchester United today, but there are other teams, and there is another On the other hand, we must score points steadily against other teams.”

However, after the start of the season, Manchester United's performance was unsatisfactory. In the league, 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss seems quite satisfactory, but there is already a 5-point gap with Manchester City at the top of the list.

Even those media who usually dislike Udinese or Bruno, such as "Torino Sport", have to admit this time that Udinese and Bruno really showed a crushing performance. Manchester United's strength.

This performance naturally made Van Gaal, who wanted to make a big splash in his second year at Old Trafford, very dissatisfied.

Guidolin believes that Bruno, who scored a hat trick, is the key to Udinese's ability to win Manchester United in this game.

………………

"Yes, Luke Shaw's injury was a turning point in the game, which greatly affected Manchester United's rhythm and morale. But for such a bad foul, the referee did not even call a foul. Obviously, The referee made a mistake in this penalty.”

………………

"When Bruno was on the court, he was the most threatening player on the court every minute and was very active at the same time. Especially in the first half, he relied on his personal ability to break through with the ball several times, which left an impression on people. He made an extremely deep impression, and he scored three goals, performed a hat trick, led the team to reverse Manchester United, made great contributions to Udinese, and also laid a solid foundation for advancing to the Champions League knockout rounds this season. "

And what he said is indeed true. Manchester United's entire midfield and frontcourt performed very sluggishly, including Depay, who scored at the beginning. Van Gaal's favorite player at the World Cup in Brazil and last season's Eredivisie Golden Boot, except for the flash of light in the first few minutes of the game, his subsequent performance was unsatisfactory.

"Except for the injured Luke Shaw, no one on the pitch was worthy of the word "excellent". We were completely defeated by Bruno!"

Although they are both captains, Di Natale is the meritorious old captain of Udinese. His symbolic significance in this team is not comparable to that of Bruno. This is a kind of achievement that no matter how many goals he scores, A spiritual heritage that cannot be replaced.

Although Guidolin found it difficult, he said he was full of confidence in the team.

"Bruno's personal performance rewrote the trend of the game. The first two goals were absolutely amazing. This fully demonstrated Bruno's top personal strength. I even think that if fans watch the replay of the goals in the future, they may feel , Bruno is not facing a top team that aims to win the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship, but an amateur team.”

The other players are basically between 5 and 6 points.

French striker Martial, who had just performed brilliantly in the double red club, was invisible throughout this game and was completely unworthy of his 50 million euros.

"It turns out that Bruno never disappoints. He plays very well, very well. He can even be said to be the best player in the team, especially the first two goals, each of which is very beautiful. Very important."

Everyone knows that Guidolin never likes to praise others, so he rarely praises others, but this time, he spent a few minutes to praise Bruno's performance in today's game, which shows that he feels deeply about this game. The emphasis on the game and the recognition of Bruno can be said to be the greatest compliment to Bruno.

Van Gaal obviously hopes to take this opportunity to praise Bruno and stimulate the Manchester United players.

As for Bruno's performance, he gave overwhelming praise, believing that the Portuguese's hat trick was the first shot to win this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or, making these two awards full of suspense.

The worst performer for Manchester United was De Gea, who only scored 4 points. This goalkeeper was frequently rumored to have transfer scandals with Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. Manchester United finally relied on a "fax machine problem" to accidentally retain the goalkeeper. , was obviously out of shape in this game and made several mistakes.

Media close to Udinese, including "Daily Udine", "Corriere della Sera" and "La Repubblica", have written articles to sing praises to Bruno, believing that with his current performance, he is fully worthy of receiving this award. A supreme honor.

………………

The ball possession rate was almost the same, 54% vs. 46%, and the passing success rate was 79% vs. 70%. Combined with the number of shots taken by the two teams, it is not difficult to see that it was difficult for Manchester United to break through Udine for most of the game. Sri Lanka's defense created a threatening offense.

The midfield combination of Schweinsteiger, Herrera and Mata has almost no interception ability, which makes it difficult for Manchester United to compete with Udinese in the midfield.

"As Van Gaal said, it's more like a Premier League team versus an amateur team."

Bruno won the Serie A and Champions League double last season. Personally, he won the Serie A Golden Boot and the Serie A assists title. The Serie A MVP was basically in his bag. In the Champions League, Bruno also tied with Cristiano Ronaldo. With a record of 17 goals in a single season, he won the Champions League Golden Boot and the assists title.

It can be said that Bruno is more competitive than Ronaldo and Messi in terms of team honors and personal honors.
