From the man behind the football king to the football king

On the evening of November 3, 2014, the Udinese team arrived in Madrid. In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid's home game against Udinese was about to begin.

On the morning of November 4, Real Madrid head coach Ancelotti and Udinese head coach Guidolin attended the pre-match press conference.

"Udinese is a respectable team, but for Real Madrid, victory is the only goal." Ancelotti said directly.

"Real Madrid is one of the greatest teams in Spain and Europe. It is a wonderful experience to visit the Bernabeu. Real Madrid has many great players and Mr. Ancelotti is also a very successful championship coach..."

Hearing what Guidolin said, the Madrid reporters at the scene all smiled and nodded. This was in line with their expectations. This kind of statement is a customary statement by the coach of the visiting team visiting Real Madrid, especially for such a small team, visiting the Bernabeu. It was simply a pilgrimage.

However, they did not expect that Guidolin paused and suddenly changed his voice: "I like Real Madrid. Three months ago, we defeated Real Madrid and won the European Super Cup; two weeks ago, we also played at home. Tied with Real Madrid. This gives me confidence that we are not here on pilgrimage, we hope to have a wonderful experience at the Bernabeu.”

"Are you referring to winning against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu?" a reporter immediately asked.

Didn’t I see what the AS News was saying before the game that this is an absolutely different showdown between mountain bikes and Audi A8.

………………

In addition, in Guidolin's view, this is only the Champions League group stage after all, and Udinese's biggest goal is to qualify from the group. As for first place in the group, Guidolin wants it, but it doesn't matter if he can't get it.

Wearing the blue No. 8 shirt, Bruno rushed up like a tiger descending a mountain, squeezing away the full-back Arbeloa who was trying to fill the position in a hurry, and caught up with Real Madrid right center back Ramos before he could intercept. Just shoot with a football:

The media is almost unanimous in seeing Real Madrid, but only Guidolin himself knows best how worthy of expectations and how huge the potential of the team he has built.

…

But Udinese's offense didn't end there.

Goalkeeper: No. 31 Kanizis;

Defense line: No. 89 Piris, No. 5 Danilo, No. 11 Domic, No. 2 Cancelo;

Isco was already ready to catch the ball, and then he saw a blue figure rushing up and stealing the football midway.

The football flew straight towards the goal like a cannonball. Casillas faced the kick with great force and tried his best to save it. However, when his body flew out, the football had suddenly come over and hit the net directly.

………………

Midfielder: No. 4 Kante, No. 6 Alan, No. 8 Bruno Fernandez, No. 19 Guillerme, No. 27 Vidmont;

The one who can afford to lose the most is Real Madrid, not Udinese and Guidolin, because Udinese is the weak one.

Di Natale moved forward beautifully with the ball, trying to dribble past Kroos, and then at the same time attracted a Real Madrid center back to come out, creating an opportunity for the approaching Videmon to follow up on the right.

With Udinese's strength, it is a good result to enter the knockout round. As for whether they will encounter a strong team in the first round of the knockout round and be eliminated, that is not something Udinese should consider.

Udinese captain Di Natale beat Casillas in the coin guessing game, Udinese won the right to pick the side, and Real Madrid kicked off first.

The Real Madrid captain immediately ran to the edge of the penalty area and launched a counterattack by throwing the ball vigorously.

"Breakthrough!"

In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2014-2015 season, Real Madrid's home game against Udinese officially began.

Amid the exclamations of the commentator, the ensuing process became simple, and Wiedmon passed the ball easily on the right.

After Kanter intercepted the ball, he dribbled forward while observing the surrounding situation. After Modric rushed up, he immediately passed the football to Bruno and retreated without hesitation.

Ronaldo passed Guillerme beautifully on his bicycle. Although Isco kept raising his hands, Ronaldo did not pass the ball. He continued to dribble the ball along the wing.

Corner kick for Udinese.

Guidolin carefully studied Real Madrid's recent games and made his own judgment with reference to Real Madrid's current player situation. Portuguese center back Pepe is injured, so Real Madrid's center back partner today is likely to be Ramos and French teenager Varane, and among the choices of full-backs, the right back is most likely to be veteran Arbeloa, and the left back may be Brazilian Marcelo.

Ronaldo was very excited and started his performance.

This is Kanter. He is very inconspicuous. He does all the dirty work, but it is the most important job.

Casillas was very angry after completing the save. He shouted at his own defense general Varane. Varane's movement was obviously slow just now, and he could not keep up with Di Natale's sprint.

"GOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!"

"Bruno Fernandez!!!!!!"

This is also the reason why Guidolin once again moved Cancelo to the left in this game, that is, to concentrate his superior forces and attack Real Madrid's weak points.

Yes, in Guidolin's view, former Liverpool veteran Arbeloa is the weakness of this Real Madrid team.

"Cancelo! Change position! Pass the ball!"

Guidolin applauded on the sidelines and cheered for the team's attack. Guillerme and Cancelo, two young and powerful young people, made continuous and repeated attacks on the left. This was not the case for Arbeloa, an old man. Guys can take it.

"Varane, he got passed easily, oh my God!"

………………

The stands at the Bernabeu were filled with noise as players from both sides entered the stadium.

"Beautiful, Cristiano Ronaldo!"

At the same time, Udinese's left center back Domic was also forced to move to this side to fill the gap after Cancelo's assist.

"Wonderful save! Casillas made a world-class save!"

The two head coaches' tactical considerations and the design of goals and methods for this game determined the trend of this game from the beginning: the game was extremely fast-paced, with you coming and going, and it was very lively.

Guilherme took a corner kick and drove into the penalty area. Di Natale was unable to withstand the pressure of Varane with his header, and the football was picked up by Casillas in the air.

Widmond, who received the ball, broke through with the ball on the right, and Varane pressed out. The French defender tried to follow up and leaned on Widmond, but Widmond just made a simple change of speed and got rid of Varane.

"Antonio Di Natale!"

Or, to put it more bluntly, Guidolin’s consideration for this game is that it is difficult to prevent Real Madrid from scoring, and he is more confident in the team’s offensive ability, so he simply and Real Madrid Madrid gives it a try.

Alan went to defend Ronaldo.

The beautiful left foot pulled the ball to his right foot, smashed the ball, and changed direction, but Kroos was not completely fooled. His trailing right foot touched the football with all his strength, which made the football bounce.

Di Natale, who celebrated his 37th birthday last month, reacted quickly. He took a small step forward, raised his right foot and flicked the football, which was a very freehand movement.

………………

Madrid local time on November 4 at 8:40 pm.

"Pass the ball! Bastard! Pass the ball!" Ancelotti yelled, waving his arms on the sidelines.

Players from both sides took their positions according to the formation. After the referee and the two linesmen on duty confirmed the time, they blew the whistle to start the game.

Defense line: No. 17 Aveiroa, No. 2 Varane, No. 4 Ramos, No. 12 Marcelo;;

Midfielder: No. 8 Kroos, No. 19 Modric; No. 10 James Rodriguez;

Forwards: No. 23 Isco, No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo, No. 9 Benzema.

James Rodriguez received the ball and passed the football to Kroos. The latter pulled the ball with his left foot, avoided Bruno's pressing, and then knocked the football to Ronaldo.

"Bruno Fernandez - what a goal! What a powerful shot!!!"

………………

It's Kanter!

This was a very beautiful steal, even the commentator exclaimed "Kante! When did he appear there?! Beautiful steal!"

Home team Real Madrid:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Casillas;

Real Madrid's defense has never been very good. With this kind of defense configuration, whether it is Real Madrid's right or left, Aveiroa is old, Marcelo focuses on offense and neglects defense. Dinez has Guillerme on the left and Vidmon on the right. No matter which side he focuses on, he has good hitting ability.

Bruno dribbled the ball forward at high speed. He directly squeezed away James Rodriguez who came up to counterattack, and then passed the through ball to Di Natale.

At this time, Udinese's defense is tilted heavily to the left, and there is some space on the other side. As long as Ronaldo passes the football, this is an offensive opportunity.

The football lifted the net hard and the net was shaking.

"Guilherme! Guilherme! Beautiful! It's over, Aveiroa has been breached!"

"No one will reject victory, and no one will surrender." Guidolin smiled and nodded, "I like victory."

Finally, after Isco's arms were sore that he felt sore, and Ronaldo spiked and flicked the ball continuously, and found that he couldn't continue to break through, he passed the football.

Away team Udinese:

At this moment, the starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen in the stadium.

Forward: No. 10 Di Natale.

Then Di Natale half-turned, blocked Kroos who came up to counterattack, and passed the football to Wiedmon who came to meet him.

Bruno stood in front of the door, clenched his fists, and screamed to the sky.

At his feet lay Casillas, one of the best goalkeepers recognized in the world who he defeated.
