From the man behind the football king to the football king

Chapter 76 No opportunity for an unprecedented showdown

The final score of this game stayed at 1:2. Udinese scored two goals to reverse the opponent after conceding one goal in the away game.

At the post-match press conference, Udinese head coach Francesco Guidolin blasted referee Andrea Demarco, believing that the referee should take refereeing courses again.

Surprisingly, the home team Catania was also dissatisfied with the referee's decision. De Canio believed that the referee made a serious mistake during the game and the first goal scored by Udinese did not exist. Yes, Kanter committed a foul first when stealing the ball.

Guidolin refuted De Canio's words on the spot, and the head coaches of the two teams immediately had a verbal exchange at the press conference.

What is even more surprising is that although the head coaches of both sides criticized the referee on duty at the press conference, the Referees Association did not impose any punishment on the two.

This is somewhat intriguing.

Many Italian media believe that the Referees Association also believes that the referee on duty has serious problems in the judgment of the game. They are wrong in the first place and do not want to take action against the angry Udinese people.

In addition, the head coach of Catania also attacked the referee. It would be even more unjustifiable to punish Udinese at this time.

You can't fine both head coaches, right?

………………

Many well-known Italian media, including "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Gazzetta dello Sport", reported on this game, focusing on the resilience and strength shown by Udinese in the game, believing that they have truly Has the potential to compete for the Serie A championship.

In the game, Udinese was punished in the eyes of everyone, but even in the face of such a bad situation, the Udinese scored two goals in a row to reverse the opponent.

With this performance, as the local TV commentator in Udine said, Udinese is invincible!

In fact, this is not the first time this season that Udinese has finally come back from behind.

"Torino Sport" used a scene in the report, which is the scene where the Udinese striker angrily rushed to the referee on duty, but was hugged tightly by Bruno Fernandez.

"Turin Sports" said that the 19-year-old Portuguese midfielder not only played a dominant performance on the court, but also handed over a brilliant record of 8 goals and 5 assists in 12 Serie A games. The calmness is terrifying and shows extraordinary maturity. Such a performance should never happen to a 19-year-old young man.

It is under the leadership of this midfield brain that Udinese has achieved an impressive record of 9 wins and 3 losses in 12 league rounds, ranking fourth in the Serie A standings, and the points difference between them and the team in front of them is 1. Not big.

………………

At the end of 12 rounds of the league, the powerful Bianconeri have regained the first place in the standings. The Old Lady's current record is 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with 31 points.

Roma, which had won eight consecutive games at the beginning of the season, currently has a very good record, with 9 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 12 rounds, scoring 29 points, ranking second in the standings.

Naples, who made a lot of signings in the summer, performed equally well, with 9 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in 12 rounds, scoring 28 points.

Next is Udinese with 9 wins and 3 losses in 12 rounds and 27 points.

These four teams may be the contenders for the Serie A championship this season.

Behind Udinese, Inter Milan and Fiorentina are far behind the performance of the previous four teams. The most they can do is compete for a spot in the Europa League. It will be very difficult to enter the Champions League next season.

Moreover, this season Udinese not only performed well in the Italian domestic arena, but also performed well in the European war. After four rounds of group matches, they shared the same points with Sevilla in La Liga. Currently, they are not only qualified for the European Cup The prospects for the knockout rounds of the League Cup are bright, and there is still the possibility of competing for the top spot in the group. This is inconsistent with Udinese's image of a point-giving boy in the European competition in previous seasons.

Udinese's performance is inseparable from their excellent recruitment work in the summer window.

In addition to the dominant performance of Bruno Fernandez, who set a record in team history, the other three young players Mahrez, Kante and Cancelo signed at a small cost have gradually established a foothold in the team. .

Kante is already a regular starter in Udinese's defensive midfielder position, while Mahrez and Cancelo have become important rotation players in their respective positions.

These three cheap guys, who only cost Udinese 1.3 million euros, have far exceeded expectations.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" stated that Udinese's new general manager Cristiano Giaretta has done an excellent job this summer.

………………

After the Serie A match with Catania ended, football entered the third international match day of the season.

Not surprisingly, in the call-up list announced by the Portuguese national team, Bruno Fernandez, who performed absolutely well in Udinese, was not on the call-up list for Portugal.

Obviously, after being bombarded by Udinese coach Guidolin, Paulo Bento "listened to the advice" and did not call up Bruno Fernandez.

Obviously, the Portuguese national team coach does not believe that young people who have performed well in Serie A have the ability to play the main role in the Portuguese national team, or even be the core midfield organizer. He still trusts his old subordinates.

Bruno himself had already expected this result.

In this way, Bruno finally got a real chance to rest nearly four months after moving to Udinese.

Since joining Udinese in late July, Bruno's life has been either playing or preparing for the game.

Since making his debut on behalf of Udinese in the Europa League play-off match against Liberec in late August, Bruno has played 18 times for Udinese in various competitions in less than three months. He played almost every game for 90 minutes. He was the player in Udinese who played the most time in the same period, and he played a lot more time than other players.

Not only that, during this period, Bruno also flew almost halfway around the world with the Portuguese national team. Although he did not get much playing time, the consumption of time and energy was not small.

At this time, it is undoubtedly good to take a good rest and recharge for the intensive schedule ahead.

………………

During this international match day, the Portuguese national team played two playoff matches with Sweden in the European qualifying rounds of the Brazil World Cup.

This is a battle between two superstars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

In the first leg of the match in Lisbon, Portugal on the evening of November 15, Ronaldo scored the only goal of the game, while Ibrahimovic was lost in Portugal.

In the duel between the two superstars, Ronaldo won first.

Four days later, the two people who moved to Sweden once again faced a life and death battle.

This is a wonderful game that takes personal heroism to the extreme!

A world-famous game!

The draw results for the Brazil World Cup play-offs have already decided between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic. Only one can go to the World Cup.

In the first round, Ronaldo helped Portugal win 1:0. In the second round, Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 50th minute, and Ibrahimovic scored 2 goals to take the lead.

In the 77th minute, Ronaldo equalized with a low shot with his left foot. In the 79th minute, Ronaldo scored another goal, completely killing the suspense and leading Portugal to the World Cup!

These 3 goals were all accurate single shots and were not easy to hit, but Ronaldo hit them cleanly and crisply with 2 left feet and 1 right foot!

What is archery? This is a textbook!

Bruno, who stayed in Udine, watched the entire game in front of the TV.

Even though he didn't know how many times he had watched this game, seeing the duel between the two superstars still made Bruno's blood boil.

Moreover, Bruno had to admit that with his current abilities, he was still far away from these two superstars.

He led Udinese to defeat Catania under adversity, which was considered a famous game by many Italian media. However, it was far inferior to this duel between Sweden and Portugal, both in terms of weight and excitement. .

Perhaps, not being able to experience this unprecedented match on site is Bruno's only regret about not being able to participate in the Portuguese national team this time.
