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

Chapter 255

欧洲中部时间10月19日下午，国际足联公布了2015年金球奖的23人大名单。让人意外的是，上赛季会师欧冠决赛的乌迪内斯和尤文图斯分别只有2人和1人入选。

For Udinese, who eventually won the championship, captain Di Natale and midfielder Bruno Fernandez were selected for the squad, while only Pogba was selected for Juventus.

On the other hand, Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are only in the semi-finals, and Bayern Munich, the southern king of the Bundesliga, each have 5 people selected.

This list caused a lot of controversy. After all, in a year without a World Series, the two teams that met in the Champions League final only had a total of three people selected for the Ballon d'Or. This seemed like a joke.

This has also made the professionalism of the FIFA Ballon d'Or Award widely questioned.

Coupled with the FIFA scandal that broke out this year, FIFA's authority has also been seriously challenged.

………………

The starting players from both sides lined up in the players' corridor, preparing to enter the field.

Di Natale and Nardo hug. The veteran Brazilian central defender played for Udinese for one season in the 2013-2014 season, but then moved to Wolfsburg on a free transfer and performed well.

Dieter Hecking walks through the tunnel.

The camera kept focusing on the Wolfsburg coach and found that when he walked past Bruno Fernandez, he paused and glanced at Bruno.

The Portuguese, who was still on crutches when he came to Wolfsburg yesterday, has now thrown away the crutches and seems to have no problem.

At this time, Dieter Heijing naturally knew that he had been fooled, and he and Wolfsburg fell into Guidolin's smoke bomb.

What could seriously injure you? What is the injury for at least a month?

It's all fake!

The most disgusting thing is that from yesterday to today, the media photographed Bruno appearing with a cane at least three times.

This is so shameless!

It’s just a Champions League group match, is that all? !

Then, as soon as Dieter Heijing came out of the players' corridor, he saw Guidolin.

"Ha, what a coincidence, Mr. Black Gold." Guidolin greeted the other party with a bright smile.

What a coincidence!

Dieter Heijing glared at Guidolin with a straight face, and said in a sinister tone: "Hello, Mr. Director."

"I knew you would misunderstand." Guidolin said with a grimace. "You may not believe it. This morning, the team doctor examined Bruno. Guess what?"

Dieter Heijing looked on coldly.

Guidolin clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Bruno recovered from his injury in time and is in time for the game!"

Seeing Guidolin's expression of "I can't believe my good luck", Dieter Heijing really wanted to take off his leather shoes and scream at him.

"You can't win with little tricks, we'll see." Dieter Heijing looked at Guidolin's extended right hand, shook it, and snorted.

Guidolin sighed inwardly, do you know what it means to be brave in war?

………………

Amidst the huge noise, players from both sides entered the field.

The camera immediately focused on Bruno Fernandez, trying to capture some information from his facial expression.

After being tackled by an opponent in the match against Verona last week and leaving the field, Udinese immediately announced that the team's vice-captain was seriously injured and would be out for a long time.

Even when the Udinese team went north to Germany, the media captured Bruno on crutches, which seemed to confirm the news that Bruno was seriously injured.

However, when Udinese announced the team's starting lineup this afternoon, people suddenly discovered that Bruno was among them.

At this time, who doesn’t know that Udinese and Bruno deceived the whole world?

Bruno's expression is calm. As the star with the most media attention in today's football, he is able to hide his emotions and control his expression very well.

"Let's gather our emotions and take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

Wolfsburg (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Benaglio;

Defenders: No. 15 Tresch, No. 18 Dante, No. 25 Nardo, No. 34 Ricardo Rodriguez;

Defensive midfielders: No. 22 Gustavo, No. 23 Guillavoji;

Midfielders: No. 7 Caligiuri, No. 10 Draxler, No. 11 Max Kruse;

Forward: No. 12 Dost.

Udinese (starting lineup):

Goalkeeper: No. 31 Kanizis;

Defense line: No. 89 Piris, No. 5 Danilo, No. 3 Maguire, No. 2 Cancelo;

中场：27号维德蒙、6号伊图拉、7号巴杜、8号布鲁诺·费尔南德斯、4号阿德南；

Forwards: No. 10 Di Natale, No. 77 Taylor;

"Everyone has also seen, a big surprise, Bruno starts! Obviously, Guidolin released a smoke bomb before, and some foreign media even reported that Bruno may be seriously injured and retire." Zhan Jun also said with a smile, "This smoke bomb is very success."

………………

Di Natale lost to Wolfsburg captain Benario in the coin guessing session, so the home team Wolfsburg got the right to pick the side and the visiting team Udinese got the right to kick off.

"Good result." Guidolin nodded, "We have the upper hand."

Portolucci glanced at Guidolin and said nothing: If Di Natale won the coin guess, Guidolin would say, let's win first. If you lose the coin guessing and kick off first, you will have the upper hand. Anyway, it’s all in Guidolin’s favor.

From the beginning of the game, Udinese took the initiative.

Udinese took advantage of the opportunity to kick off the ball first and firmly controlled the football at their feet.

They know that the game at the Volkswagen Arena will be an extremely tough tug-of-war.

Guidolin has long instilled this in his players: Don’t rush!

Therefore, Udinese is not in a hurry to hit the football in front of the goal, but patiently passes the ball, moves, and slowly deals with the home team.

The Wolfsburg team is very experienced and has already planned and prepared for this. They began to shrink their defense line at the beginning of the game, first solidifying their defense and then seeking offense.

In the pre-match meeting, Dieter Heijing seriously warned the players that this game would be very difficult and they would have to fight until the last second: This is a battle for first place in the group!

This is the first time Dieter Heijing has clearly stated to his players that Udinese is a direct competitor of Wolfsburg!

………………

"Huh?" Dieter Heijing showed a surprised expression.

He noticed that on Udinese's side, according to the tactics of the game with Verona, Bruno, who should have been ambushing behind the two forwards, was positioned a bit behind.

"Bruno's position today is deeper, more like -" Zhan Jun thought for a while and said, "more like an organizing midfielder, which reminds me of AC Milan's midfield playmaker Pirlo."

"Hehehe, it is indeed very similar. In AC Milan, Pirlo was protected by Gattuso. Today Bruno retreated and was protected by Badu." Zhang Lu added.

The camera showed a close-up of Udinese's coaching bench, with a slightly smug smile on Xiao Zhuge's lips. This was exactly what he had changed in today's game.

If Bruno's injury was a smoke bomb, Bruno's position retreated and allowed the German star to play as a midfielder. This was an even bigger change!

Guidolin knew that Udinese’s previous games would have been studied many times by Dieter Heijing. He wouldn't be so stupid and continue to use the same tactics from previous games.

Just Bruno's position retreated and he played as a midfielder. This one change was enough to evolve many new tactical changes.

Badu is responsible for protection, and Bruno is responsible for organizing and dispatching in the middle. Adnan and Widmon are on the two wings, one is responsible for speed breakthrough, and the other is responsible for precise transfer and passing dispatch. Udinese's two wings have their own characteristics, which is enough to provide artillery support for Di Natale and Taylor on the front.

………………

Bruno got the ball in the middle, and Gustavo came up to interfere with him. Bruno got out of the way with a half-turn, spike, and then passed the ball to Wiedmon.

Widmund passed back to Bruno, Bruno passed the football to Widmond again, and then he continued to run forward, seemingly trying to hit the wall continuously.

"Watch him!" Wolfsburg captain Benaglio shouted to direct the defense. Quelavoji immediately followed Bruno, but to the surprise of Wolfsburg's defensive players, Widmund turned a blind eye to the space created by Bruno's running, and instead made a long pass to transfer the football directly to the court. The other side.

"Nice slash transfer!"

Bruno and Widmund continued to make trouble on the right, which caused Wolfsburg's defense to tilt to this side, leaving Adnan empty on the left.

Adnan receives the ball beautifully and then he drives the ball straight down the wing.

Tresch quickly came up to intercept, and at the same time, Gustavo also double-teamed from the side.

Adnan knocked the football sideways.

Bruno got the ball in the middle, then he pulled the ball and turned around, trying to pass the football to Widmont on the right.

Rodriguez quickly retreated and moved towards Vidmon.

Bruno made a false shot and passed the football to the left.

Adnan gestured to catch the ball.

"Football! Beautiful!"

Adnan's raised foot did not touch the ball, but missed it.

Behind him, Cancelo cuts in at high speed.

"Fill in!"

"Stop him!"

Bruno's feint shot, Adnan's missed ball, and Cancelo's high-speed plug-in.

………………

Wolfsburg's defense was fully mobilized, and some gaps finally appeared in the originally airtight formation.

Cancelo dribbled the ball along the left wing at high speed. When he waited for Wolfsburg center back Dante to pounce on him in a hurry, he pushed with the arch of his foot.

Adnan got the ball at the top of the penalty area.

Adnan passes the football to Bruno.

Bruno passed the ball diagonally to Widmund and continued to run forward. It seemed that he wanted to do a one-two with Widmund and hit the wall.

Wolfsburg's players are not fools. How can we tolerate them playing such a cliché and simple coordination in front of the penalty area?

Guillavodji followed Bruno, and Rodriguez came up to attack Vidmon.

Wiedmon pushed the football with his right foot. In the penalty area, Taylor turned his back to get the ball and knocked it diagonally with his heel in the crowd.

Almost at the same time, Widmon, who had completed the pass, had already rushed into the penalty area.

As long as Widmont catches up with the football, he will face the goalkeeper!

"Single knife!!!"

The commentator exclaimed excitedly. No one expected that five minutes into the game, Udinese had been kicking back and forth unhurriedly. Suddenly, they exerted force and made such a beautiful combination and penetrated the ball. Wolfsburg's defense.

Naldo rushed forward diagonally, and at the same time, Rodriguez was chasing from the side and behind. Rodriguez was very fast, and it seemed that he would definitely be able to catch up before Vidmon could pose a threat.

"Vedemon is surrounded!"

Naldo blocked the angle of Vidmon's shot, and Rodriguez forced Vidmon to prevent him from having a chance to adjust after getting the ball.

Vidmon did not shoot, nor did he try to adjust the football. He got ahead of Rodriguez and rubbed the football...

The football drew a small arc, passed in front of Benaglio, also bypassed the goal, and flew to the back left point.

………………

"Di Natale!!! He has no one to defend him at all..."

None of the Wolfsburg defensive players, including Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio, noticed Di Natale.

This is not because they made a low-level mistake and missed someone.

After Taylor's beautiful heel knocked the football to Widmon, the first priority of the defense was to guard Widmon!

As long as it surrounds Widmon and prevents him from completing shots or passes, the defense will be successful.

Naldo's blocking caused Widmon to lose his shooting angle. This was a successful defense. In that case, it seemed impossible for Widmund to threaten Wolfsburg's goal.

Moreover, if Widmont wants to pass the ball, it is more likely that it will be passed to Taylor who is closest to him, but Taylor is defended by Dante who is returning to defend.

Then, no one expected that Widmont successfully passed the ball to Di Natale, as if the ball had eyes.

Now, with most of the ball in front of Di Natale being empty, what he needs to do is simple.

The Italian veteran stopped the ball with his chest, followed by a volley, and the ball went straight into the net.

………………

"Taro! Heel!"

"Vedmon! Pass the ball! Beautiful!"

"Di Natale! Shoot!"

"GOOOOOOOOOAL! Udinese scored!"

"1:0! Di Natale scores for Udinese!"

"1:0, this goal was scored too easily, Wolfsburg's defense was completely penetrated."

"Adnan-Bruno-Vedemon-Tero-Vedemon-Di Natale!" Zhan Jun stood up in the studio and shouted loudly.

"All Udinese's offensive stars participated in the attack. They played a mercury-rich combination and Wolfsburg was completely led by the nose."

Udinese fans gave a huge cheer at the Volkswagen Arena.

Udinese players excitedly rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate with Di Natale.

The Wolfsburg players stood frozen on the spot, they still couldn't believe what they were seeing.

It was only five minutes into the game, why did they lose the ball?

How could the team's defense be penetrated so easily?

He was obviously trying his best to defend, and there were no obvious loopholes or mistakes, so he just lost the ball?

They couldn't figure it out.

Yes, they felt that they were completely confused and just lost the ball.

This left Wolfsburg players a little confused.
