From the man behind the football king to the football king

After defeating Palermo to stabilize Udinese's second place in Serie A, Bruno left Italy because the next two weeks will be another international break.

During this international break, Portugal will have two games.

The first game is the fourth round of the European Cup qualifiers at home against Armenia.

After this game, Portugal will travel north to England to face Argentina at the Theater of Dreams. Although this game is just a warm-up match and has little value in itself, the duel between Messi and Ronaldo gives this game a different meaning.

The match against Armenia starts at 7:45 pm on November 14, local time in Portugal.

In this game, the veteran Bosingwa played for the country for the first time in four years, while the other fullback Guerrero played for the national team for the first time. The double central defender was replaced by Pepe's partner Carvalho. In the midfield, Bruno continues to start, and Andre Gomez and William Carvalho form a double midfielder; the front trident is a combination of Ronaldo, Danny and Postiga.

Even if it was just an extremely subtle change, even if it was just a trivial difference, it shocked the Chievo goalkeeper.

Bruno himself couldn't believe it at first. The only thing he was sure of was that his free throw felt very good. Then he saw the Chievo goalkeeper flying sideways and whether he made it or not. At that moment, he really Didn't see clearly.

Because his hands are so big, after making a side save, the ball changes slightly, which will lead to serious errors in his judgment, and the save that he originally intended to win turns into a misjudgment.

This goal also received warm applause from the Old Trafford Stadium. On the one hand, it was because the coordination before the goal was indeed very exquisite. On the other hand, it was because Nani was involved in the goal. Although he has transferred and left Manchester United, Nani, who has played for Manchester United for many years, is still very popular among Manchester United fans.

"Ah, Bruno took a direct free kick..."

In the first minute of stoppage time, Bruno scored from the middle, Quaresma made a pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Guerrero leaned in front of the penalty area and scored with a header.

Because Bruno is the Portuguese midfield commander in Santos' plan, and he has only recently joined the Portuguese national team, Santos decided to give Bruno more playing time and let him and others play together as much as possible to develop a tacit understanding. .

However, it was Bruno who scored first. In the 43rd minute, his long-range shot from the top of the penalty area blasted away Armenia and helped Portugal open the scoring.

"Bruno! A super-long-range missile from Bruno actually broke through Chievo's goal!"

However, due to the nature of the warm-up match, Portugal's players on the field were constantly changing, making the offense of both sides not very smooth, and the score on the field has not been changed for a long time.

The Udinese players also tried their best to cooperate with Bruno.

Bruno took a deep breath, rushed forward quickly, raised his right foot, and kicked the football directly in front of him.

The football almost went under his hands, and he just missed it and fell to the grass.

The ball quickly flew out from Bruno's feet, very fast. Obviously Bruno also tried his best to kick this free kick, and the arc was low, just above the head of Chievo's player on the side. fly by.

Bruno was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and glided all the way along the sidelines of the stands.

“Come in!!!!”

In!

Subsequently, Eder missed good opportunities in succession, but Portugal finally defeated Armenia 2:0 at home, ushering in three consecutive group stage victories and continuing to lead the standings.

In the end, Portugal defeated Argentina 2:0. Argentina's 42-year unbeaten record against Portugal was broken, and Portugal won five consecutive games.

The Chievo goalkeeper was also facing a powerful enemy and did not dare to be careless. After seeing Bruno take action, he made a quick judgment.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Di Natale helped Udinese open the scoring, and in the 74th minute Radovanovic scored with a powerful shot to tie the score.

Subsequently, although Udinese launched a fierce attack on Chievo's goal, they were unable to score again.

Even if you can't catch it, you can definitely throw it out.

After defeating Armenia, the Portuguese team traveled north to England.

When the game passed 60 minutes, Santos made continuous substitution adjustments. Eder replaced Postiga, Quaresma replaced Dani, and Ronaldo was moved to the center position.

In the second minute of injury time, there was only one minute left before the end of the game.

Udinese gets a free kick in the frontcourt.

The international match day ended, and Bruno, who returned to Italy, soon ushered in the 12th round of Serie A.

Portugal expanded the score in the 71st minute. Bruno sent a through ball in the ribs. Quaresma's shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area was barely saved by Berezovsky, but Voskanyan failed to clear the ball in time and followed up. Bruno poked the ball from his feet towards the goal, and Ronaldo scored from close range.

“It’s actually in!!!”

Because of Bruno's combination in the midfield, Portugal was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Argentina. Even after the second half of the game, they suppressed Argentina on the scene.

Portugal put pressure on their opponents immediately after the opening, but missed consecutive scoring opportunities. Danny's shot missed, Thiago headed the ball high after receiving Bruno's free kick, and Ronaldo's free kick from 25 yards was blocked.

Portugal entered the halftime break with a 1:0 advantage, which put a lot less pressure on them.

But just when he was determined to win and thought he would be able to catch the ball, the ball, which was originally very stable, suddenly changed, as if it was being held down by something, and suddenly fell.

The ball was very fast, very urgent, the line was very stable, and it was not erratic. This was a very high-quality free kick.

However, neither Ronaldo nor Messi was the protagonist of this game. They failed to score in the game, and they only played half of the game in their first national team matchup.

The game continued, Portugal suppressed Armenia at home, but Armenia's counterattack was also very threatening. In particular, Dortmund's core midfielder Mkhitaryan performed very well.

………………

As Udinese performs better and better, and there are more and more international players in the team, the impact of the FIFA virus on Udinese is becoming more and more obvious.

Bruno did not disappoint Santos. He quickly adapted to the game and the playing style of his teammates.

It wasn't until the 81st minute that the deadlock was broken. Bruno and Nani, who came on as a substitute, played consecutive one-twos in the frontcourt, and finally Bruno scored with a push shot from the line of the small penalty area.

The man in charge of this game is a man who wants to be the king of Old Trafford in the future.

Portugal broke the deadlock and scored another goal in stoppage time.

In this game, Bruno became one of the few Portuguese players to play the entire game.

…

Everyone on the court was staring at him closely, paying attention to his every move.

This is his 23rd goal by Cristiano Ronaldo in the European Championship qualifying and final stages, surpassing Thomason and Suker to become the historical top scorer of the European Cup.

………………

After arriving in Manchester, Portugal was treated like home court, all of which was naturally because of Ronaldo. Although he has left Manchester United for five years, Red Devils fans are still full of affection for the old player. Whenever Ronaldo takes the ball, Old Trafford cheers even more.

As for Messi, he is not welcomed at Old Trafford. Whether it is because of the Melo duel or the grievances between Manchester United and Barcelona in the past few years, Manchester United fans will not like the Argentine star. Every time he took the ball, he was booed by the fans.

The referee arranged the scene. Because the distance was too far, Chievo did not set up a tight wall. Obviously, they were more worried that Udinese would take indirect free kicks, so they paid more attention to other Udinese players.

Everyone at the scene was stunned, and then burst into thunderous cheers.

It wasn't until he saw clearly that there was no football in the arms of the Chievo goalkeeper who fell to the ground that he became excited.

But after all, he is an experienced veteran. He reacted quickly and tried to interfere with his hands, but in the end he was unable to do anything.

After the start of the second half, Portugal continued to put pressure on Armenia's goal, but failed to score a goal to expand its lead.

………………

………………

At this time, the live broadcast camera above the Friuli Stadium was quietly aimed at Bruno. But there was nothing unusual about Bruno. He just backed away slowly and stared straight ahead silently. He was patiently looking for that ethereal feeling.

………………

"Oh my God, a direct free kick that was 33 meters away actually went in!!!"

In!

Really got in! ! !

Armenia got the first chance in the 15th minute. Mkhitaryan broke through and caused Carvalho to foul in front of the penalty area and was given a yellow card. Dortmund's midfielder took a free kick and shot directly through the wall and into the lower left corner, but was bravely saved by Patricio.

After the referee blew his whistle, Udinese's players started running quickly, attracting the attention of the defense.

The Udinese fans in the stadium were loud, but a muffled sound could still be clearly heard.

As a goalkeeper, he had a strong enough feeling that he flew over and put his hands together, he was sure enough.

The Chievo goalkeeper quickly came to a conclusion and recognized Bruno's ability to take free kicks. But unfortunately, I have to save this ball!

The Chievo goalkeeper was very confident because the distance was too far. No matter how fast the ball is, once the distance is further away, he will have enough time to judge the direction of the ball and react.

More than 40,000 Udinese fans chanted his name in unison, celebrating such a wonderful free kick.

A full thirty-three meters long!

People say that if you have never scored a free kick from 30 meters away, you are not considered a master.

But now, Bruno feels that after scoring this penalty kick, he should be considered a master, right?
