Chapter 120 The First Round of the Semifinals
The 34th round of Serie A has attracted much attention. In addition to the strong dialogue between Udinese and Naples in third and fourth place, another game is also the focus of the world's attention, that is, Juventus vs. Bologna at home. Contest.Because as long as the Bianconeri win the game, they will be crowned Serie A champions 4 rounds in advance.

The powerful Juventus did not lose at home. They defeated Bologna 1:0 at home, and Paul Pogba scored the only game of the game.

This is Pogba's 7th goal in Serie A this season, and he also provided 7 assists.Although not as dazzling as Bruno in terms of statistics, he is already very good.

Although Roma defeated Fiorentina 1:0 in an away game in a strong dialogue, with only 4 rounds left in the league, they were 13 points behind Juventus and could only watch Juventus win the championship 4 rounds ahead of schedule. Serie A champion.

With the power of winning the league, the Juventus team went north to Udine to challenge Udinese in the Europa League semi-finals.Pogba will also face Bruno for the second time this season.

In the second round of the league, Udinese, who chose to strategically abandon the league, did not let Bruno enter the squad at all, so the two did not meet on the court.

………………

After the 34th round of Serie A, the media began to actively report on this game.

From the moment Juventus landed at Udine's Formido Airport, the Italian media began to follow the reports.

Both Juventus and Udinese players seemed very confident before the game.

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who just scored a key goal in the 34th round of the league to help Juventus win the championship, said in an interview with Italian and French reporters: "... Udi Ness is a strong team, but we are even stronger. We have just won the league, our team is full of energy and we are not afraid of away games."

Juventus captain Buffon also said: "We know that Udinese is a team that is very good at attacking, and we will not let them score easily in the game."

In response, Udinese captain Di Natale fired back: "Our tactics are very simple, there is nothing to keep secret, we just want to use our best attack to defeat our opponents!"

Bruno also expressed his belief in victory in an interview: "There is no other outcome except victory. We have only one way to go to the finals: victory. I can't think of any other choice..."

Udinese vice-captain Basta's answer was much shorter. Facing the reporters' cameras, he just said, "Yes, we will win." Then he turned and left in a cool manner.

………………

Compared with the players, the head coaches of both sides are a little more cautious.

Juventus head coach Conte said very low-key: "I don't know who will be the final winner before the end of the game. I can only say that we will go all out for nine, 10 minutes or even longer. ."

Udinese head coach Guidolin was not as arrogant as his men. He did not talk about the result, but said that his team would take this game seriously.

Fans from both sides are also paying close attention to this game.The tickets for the Friuli Stadium, which can accommodate more than 4 people, have long been sold out. There are more than 2000 Juventus fans coming to cheer for the team in the away game, and the rest are all Udinese fans.

This stadium has been packed out almost every home game this season, all thanks to the team's outstanding performance.Udinese fans have never been happier than they are this season.

Many fans only made slogans about marching to Turin and prepared to display them during the game.

There are also fans who contact like-minded partners online and agree on how to cheer for the team during the game.

They put the songs they wrote for the players online so that everyone can become familiar with the lyrics and tunes, and they can sing them together during the game, creating an amazing momentum.

The most popular songs are dedicated to Di Natale and Bruno.

………………

In this way, on the evening of April 4, the most critical game for both teams and many others kicked off at the Friuli Stadium.

As predicted by the media before the game, Udinese launched a strong attack at their home court and played offensive football, while Juventus was much more conservative and they defended and counterattacked.

This is a normal choice. Udinese is weaker than Juventus. They urgently need to score goals at their home court and win, so they naturally want to attack.

Juventus is stronger than Udinese, especially in the schedule. They also have the advantage of playing first before home. They also have more choices in this away game. Of course, they will choose a safer defensive counterattack at this time. There is no need to do so. Play against your opponent.

Udinese's attacking power is already well-known in Europe, and they rarely score only one goal in their games.

Compared with last weekend's league championship battle, Juventus has made a lot of personnel adjustments.In other words, they rested most of their main players in the weekend game, but in this game they played all their best.Conte arranged his favorite 352 formation, with Buffon at the goal, Cáceres, Bonucci and Chiellini forming a three-centre back, and the midfielder is Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Pirlo, Marr The combination of Chisio and Asamoah, and the forward combination of Vucinic and Tevez are tall and fast.

Udinese also made adjustments. Guidolin arranged his more commonly used 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is Skufet, and the four defenders are Basta, Danilo, Nardo and Silva. The double defensive midfielders are Kanter and Alan, the forward line is Widmont, Bruno and McSuell, and the forward line is Di Natale's single arrow.

In addition to captain Di Natale, who took a rest last weekend, returned to the main position, young player Sylvain Wiedmon also made an unexpected start.Before that, he had been the team's substitute, ranking behind Mahrez and Badu in the choice of right midfielder.

But Guidolin did not choose to start Mahrez and Badu in this game, but chose Vidmon, who had rarely played before.

This was also beyond the expectations of Juventus head coach Conte. Because Vidmon did not have many playing opportunities this season and played in the reserve team most of the time, Conte had no information about this person at all. He knew nothing about Vidmont.

And the key to the game lies precisely with Widmont.

………………

Sylvain Wiedmon, who played in the Europa League for the first time in this game, is a Swiss. He was born in March 1993. He can play multiple positions on the field. He was acquired from Udinese's satellite club last summer. Introduced in Grana Touchdown.

This season, the Swiss international represented the Udinese first team in a total of eleven appearances in the league and domestic cups, most of which came as a substitute. Most of the time, he played silently in the reserve team, unknown to the public. According to The coaching staff gave him a training plan to improve his level.

If you just look at the data, it would make people think that he made a mistake in choosing to move to Udinese, but in fact he did receive careful training under Guidolin.

Occasionally, Guidolin would let him play for the first team to see the results of his usual training.Sometimes he performed well, sometimes he performed poorly, but no matter whether he performed well or poorly, Guidolin did not comment, neither praised nor criticized, and treated him coldly.

This creates a relatively relaxed environment for Sylvain Widmont, where he can grow freely and make mistakes as he pleases, it doesn't matter.

Young people are bound to make mistakes, and they will definitely make mistakes. Young people who do not make mistakes are abnormal, and young people who do make mistakes are good young people.

Guidolin held this view in mind and allowed Sylvain Vidmont to make mistakes in the reserve team while patiently waiting for his development.

This game Guidolin felt it was time to put more pressure on Vidmon and see how he performed in such a crucial game.

So before the game, Guidolin told the team and Vidmon that the right wing where Vidmon is located will become the team's focus, and Brazilian winger Mike Suel on the left will be a feint attack point.

When Juventus's defensive attention was attracted by McSuell, Bruno was about to transfer the football to the feet of Widmont on the other side.

………………

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Widmon was still adapting to the game. He quickly passed the ball out again without trying the breakthrough he is good at.

It seems that McSuell is still Udinese's main direction of attack.After he got the ball, he made three breakthroughs, one was successful and two failed.

In fact, Bruno was paying close attention to the situation on Widmund's side. Once he felt that Widmon had found the rhythm of the game, he would pass the football without hesitation.

No. 20 In the second minute, after attracting two Juventus defenders on the left wing, McSuell passed the ball through the gap.

After receiving the ball, Bruno did not hesitate and moved the football directly to the other side. Widmont caught the ball!
Although the 21-year-old Wiedmon is 1.8 meters tall, he is not physically strong, but he is fast, flexible and has excellent skills.

Widmont, who received the ball, did not pass the football this time, but chose to break through with the ball himself.

Former Udinese player Asamoah knew nothing about Vidmon, and he couldn't tell anything from the previous two and 10 minutes of the game, so he was caught off guard by Vidmon!
Wiedmon, who broke through Asamoah, did not pass the ball, but continued to break into the penalty area.

As soon as he entered the penalty area, the opponent's midfielder Marchisio rushed up and made a side body contact. Marchisio stretched his foot to steal the ball.

Vidmont fell down after being hit by Marchisio.

There was a loud roar in the stands of the Friuli Stadium: "Penalty kick!!"

Di Natale and Bruno also raised their hands to signal to the referee that the Juventus players had fouled.

Sure enough, the referee blew his whistle and pointed at the penalty spot!
