From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 222 Judgment

The problem is, not only Alves heard the Uruguayan's big mouth, but also the Udinese players who were very close to them heard it.

Bruno glared over fiercely.

Alves stared back: What are you looking at?

Seeing Bruno turn away angrily, Alves shrugged at Suarez, as if to say, "Young man, you just need to take care of yourself."

Suarez grinned happily.

Barcelona captain Iniesta looked at this side and shook his head with a smile. He knew his teammates well.

Besides, we were leading 2:1, and the total score was 5:2. Our opponents could only parry and had no power to fight back. Everyone was happy and happy, it was no big deal.

However, after taking a look at the gloomy Udinese man, Iniesta, who was wearing the Barcelona captain's armband, was worried about causing a conflict, so he scolded his teammates: "Okay, don't say such things."

"What's wrong with you?" Di Natale asked Bruno.

Di Natale didn't speak Spanish, so he didn't know what Alves and Suarez said, but seeing Bruno's scary expression, he asked.

Bruno told Di Natale what he heard, and the latter was so angry that he wanted to explode.

Bruno did not tell Di Natale one thing, that is, he suspected that the other party did it on purpose.

Is this deliberately irritating?

Is this simply looking down on people?

Bruno didn't know. Anyway, he felt that he was being specifically despised.

………………

"Okay, the first half is over. Barcelona scored two goals in just six minutes to reverse the score and rewrite the total score to 5:2!"

"Originally expected to be a battle between dragons and tigers, Barcelona only needed six minutes to turn the remaining game time into garbage time."

"1:2, the total score is 2:5. Bruno's goal at the beginning of the game cannot change anything. They are still three goals behind and have also lost the away goal advantage. What Udinese can do in this game Yes, just don’t lose the ball again and try not to lose too badly.”

The Barcelona players who left the field were chatting and laughing, and there were other players who poked me and hit you and left the field in a noisy manner. They played too much in this game.

On the Udinese side, everyone looked serious, no one spoke, and they quickly left the field.

………………

In the visiting team's locker room at the Friuli Stadium, Enrique was all smiles. He praised the players' performance and encouraged them to keep up their efforts in the second half.

"2:1 is not enough." Enrique said, "We strive to score more goals and advance to the finals with a big win."

"Would you like two more?" Alves shouted.

"Two is not enough," Suarez shouted.

Then there was a burst of laughter.

You can't say that they were too arrogant. The first half of the game was overwhelming. They scored two goals in just six minutes. The total score was 5:2, and they also had the advantage of away goals. In this case, the players It is human nature to be in a good mood and not take the opponent seriously.

On the other side, in the home team's locker room.

"Well done!" Guidolin also praised his players.

"In the last few minutes of the game we withstood the pressure and didn't concede a goal, which was good."

The players understood what the coach meant. After conceding the second goal, Guidolin said that the game had just begun and he calculated from that time point of the game.

This is not a compliment. It is not easy to quickly stabilize your position when you are almost beaten to collapse.

………………

The halftime break passed quickly and the players returned to the court one after another. Guidolin stayed for half a minute before slowly walking towards the players' tunnel, and then he saw Salah running over in a hurry.

"What have you been doing?"

"Go pee," Salah said.

Guidolin looked at the young Egyptian, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mohammed, the team needs you in the second half of the game! That old guy Alves can't keep up with your speed at all. Your task It’s to blow him up!”

"Coach, do you think so too?" Salah asked with wide eyes.

"Of course!" Guidolin just encouraged the players as usual, but he immediately noticed the light in the kid's eyes.

"Go, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines." Guidolin slapped Salah hard on the shoulder, "This is a night of miracles, Ga Mohamed, after this game, you will be famous all over the world! "

"Yeah!" Salah nodded vigorously.

Looking at Salah, who was running towards the court happily as if he had been beaten to death, Guidolin smacked his lips. His chicken soup for the soul had not yet exerted its force, but this kid was so excited.

………………

After the start of the second half, Udinese did not blindly attack because the score was behind, but played steadily and organized the attack in an orderly manner.

However, in everyone's eyes, Barcelona has already won an early victory in this game, and what Udinese is doing now is not to concede any more goals and avoid greater humiliation.

The TV broadcast camera showed the coach's bench on the sidelines in a timely manner.

Guidolin stood on the sidelines, frowning, not yelling, but looking a little decadent.

Decadent, this is what the Spanish commentator said about the Udinese coach.

<divclass="contentadv">Not far from Guidolin, Barcelona coach Enrique was also staring at the court.

He has his own judgment theory. What tactics Udinese adopted at the beginning of the second half of the game, to some extent, represents Udinese's game purpose and attitude in the second half.

If Udinese starts the second half with a strong attack, it means that Guidolin is not giving up yet. Although this does not mean that Udinese has the ability to make a comeback, it is an aggressive tactical attitude.

If Udinese does not rush to attack after the start of the second half, but instead solidly defends, in Enrique's view, this shows that Guidolin is very pragmatic.

Guidolin knew that the defeat of this game was certain, and he did not want to think about something as whimsical as a comeback. This was to stabilize the defense, not to concede any more goals, and not to lose too miserably.

And if we can score another goal in the second half of the game and equalize the score, we will look much better.

Even if they don't score and lose 1:2, Udinese won't be too ugly.

………………

Enrique is a meticulous and relatively silent coach. He likes to think about these things. This is also his coaching experience.

After the start of the second half, Udinese did not attack, but relied on defense.Enrique breathed a sigh of relief.

If Udinese accepts the result of losing, the second half of the game will be relatively mild, and Barcelona can also play relatively easily.

Of course, if possible, Enrique also hopes that the team can score again.

With Udinese unwilling to fight again, Barcelona hopes to continue to expand the score.

However, Enrique soon frowned.

Although Udinese did not show aggressiveness on the offensive end, they were extremely tenacious in defense.

Iniesta is the core of Barcelona's midfield, and he was tightly defended by Udinese.

Udinese was very smart when defending Iniesta. They would choose to strangle Iniesta in the midfield. Because fouls in the midfield position generally do not give cards.

In addition, the foul was not malicious, its purpose was just to prevent Iniesta from controlling the ball easily, or to force him to lose possession of the ball.

For example, pulling the jersey and pushing down Iniesta.

And even if it is a tackle, it is a relatively clean tackle without the intention of hurting someone.

In addition, Barcelona is already leading by a large score, and the referee will be more lenient towards Udinese's fouls.

………………

After the second half of the game started, as long as Iniesta got the ball, whether it was Kanter or Wiedmon, they would rush up to press and defend him.

Their fighting was very aggressive, but the scale was well controlled and they had no intention of hurting anyone.

In this way, Iniesta was violated one after another, but the referee only gave a verbal warning and had no intention of playing a card.

Kanter and Iniesta were fighting in the midfield again, and both fell to the ground at the same time.

The referee whistled for a foul on Iniesta.

Kanter got up from the ground and took a quick free kick.

After Bruno received the ball, he moved directly to the left.

Salah speeds up.

Pique went to defend Salah and pursued desperately. Seeing that it was difficult for him to form a defensive effect on Salah, he loudly called Alves to fill in the position.

Just as Alves ran over, Salah suddenly stopped, changed direction, and took two horizontal steps. Before Alves and Pique formed a circle, the Egyptian suddenly shot a cold arrow at the line of the penalty area.

This is a ground ball, the angle is not tricky, but the ball speed is very fast. The football was thrown by Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen and rolled out of the baseline. Udinese wins a corner kick.

………………

Bruno stood at the penalty spot.

The referee's whistle blew and the corner kick was taken.

Di Natale, who was fighting for the top of the goal, jumped up high and headed the ball ahead of everyone else. The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen touched the ball with his fingertips, but the top of the ball was so powerful that he was unable to stop the ball from moving forward.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!! Antonio Di Natale! The thirty-seven-year-old veteran scored! 2:2, Udinese equalized the score!"

"This is the Udinese captain's sixth Champions League goal this season!"

"2:2! Udinese relied on the captain's goal to equalize the score. Although this goal may not help the result of the game, it still saves a little face."

Yes, in the eyes of commentators from various countries, the greatest significance of Di Natale's goal is that it helped Udinese save a little face.

No one thought Udinese could come back.

The goal just makes Udinese look better and prevents them from being double-killed.
