From the man behind the football king to the football king

"Also, tell Pirlo to pay more attention to the defense. Stabilizing the defense is the first priority."

Landucci nodded and immediately wrote down Allegri's words in a simple and clear note and gave it to Koeman.

This is often seen on the court, a way for the head coach to convey information to the players on the court. Many of the contents on the notes are tacit understandings that we have in daily life, so they can be written very simply and can be understood at a glance.

"Their midfielder is so good!" Allegri shook his head and sighed.

Kante and Badu form a double midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Udinese's defense. Coupled with Guillerme and Vidmont who are actively returning to defense, Udinese's entire midfield is impregnable. Even suppressed Juventus' midfield tonight. Vidal and Pogba did not perform at all, which shows the strength of Udinese's midfield.

"The main thing is that we are restrained by Bruno." Landucci explained.

Allegri nodded frequently, and just one Bruno made Juventus use at least two players to defend him. It would be surprising if the midfielder was not at a disadvantage.

The reaction of Juventus's central defender is indeed very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it cannot be faster than Bruno, who has a tacit understanding with Di Natale. He took the first step, pushed the ball forward slightly, and chased after it as quickly as possible.

Controlling the ball gave him the advantage.

Pogba was shocked because he discovered that Bruno seemed to have consumed a lot throughout the second half, but in fact he had been secretly accumulating energy, and it suddenly burst out at this moment.

………………

Udinese's backcourt players were really pushed into a hurry, and passing and controlling has never been Udinese's strength.

If Udinese's right wing was very active in the first half, with Vidmon posing threats on the right wing again and again, then after Koeman came on the field, Juventus completely plugged this loophole.

The time quickly entered seventy minutes.

You must find a chance!

No chance? Then forcefully create opportunities!

Bruno looked up at the scoreboard and saw that it was already seventy-five minutes. He could clearly feel that Udinese players were beginning to show signs of fatigue.

A trace of worry flashed across Allegri's eyes, and he still wasn't confident enough about Bruno.

"Don't worry, he seems to have consumed a lot of energy and feels like he can't hold on anymore." Landucci said while looking at Bruno on the court.

If you want to say that the most threatening player in the Udinese team, it goes without saying that it must be Bruno. It can even be said that the closer the game looks, the more dangerous Bruno is.

………………

Di Natale quickly retreated and ran to the left. He noticed that Barzagli did not follow, so he patiently judged the landing point of the ball, blocked the position with his body, and faced Kanizis' long pass. The ball rubbed lightly.

Di Natale's header was not strong enough and the ball fell quickly.

The game time passed by minute by minute.

This is the Italian team, known as a reinforced concrete defense. One ring is tightly connected to the other, and immediately after one, another one comes!

But Bruno has long been mentally prepared, and this is not the first time he has dealt with Juventus. After catching up with the ball, he chose to stop the ball at the first try.

Allegri knows better than anyone about Bruno. The closer the critical moment comes, the more threatening and terrifying he becomes!

After Allegri reminded him, Landucci suddenly did not dare to be careless. Because he is familiar with Bruno's performance in Serie A in the past two years and knows how powerful this Portuguese is.

Juventus was obviously a little anxious this time and wanted to try to press forward.

The football hit Di Natale's head and was sent behind Pogba.

Bruno was on the court, but he admired Guidolin's judgment even more. Because he found that everything was really not beyond the head coach's expectations. Guidolin was really like his nickname "Little Zhuge", and he had no plans left.

Barzagli guessed his intention, but did not follow him out. Instead, he instructed Pogba to follow, and he fell behind.

"After all, he is only twenty years old. In such an important final, the pressure is so great and the consumption is so staggering. It is probably too much for him." Landucci guessed.

………………

Not to mention Bruno scored a goal at the beginning, even if he didn't score, he held down two defensive players by himself, Udinese was good enough.

But he didn't need to say anything. Bonucci had already reacted and rushed forward.

Allegri shook his head and said: "Don't be careless."

Players like Bruno no longer need to prove anything with goals or assists. Their presence on the court itself is the most threatening thing. As long as you give him the ball, as long as you give him a chance, he can shine.

But even now, even though the game has been going on for nearly sixty-five minutes, Allegri still dare not let down his guard against Bruno because he is too dangerous!

"Add another one, tell the players to pay attention to cutting off the connection between Di Natale and Bruno, be sure to pay attention!"

Since this season, Bruno feels that not only his overall strength is constantly improving, but his confidence is also getting stronger. At least, on the court, he no longer doubted whether he could do it, but was thinking about how to do it.

These are obviously two different levels of mentality, and this should be regarded as his biggest gain and improvement this season.

Except for Juventus' lucky goal, everything was Guidolin's deduction. Our head coach is like a supercomputer!

At almost the same time, Bruno, who was originally in front of Di Natale and Pogba, suddenly started to shake off Marchisio, inserted behind Pogba as quickly as possible, and chased the ball directly. Go up, it's very fast.

Bonucci was trying to clear the siege, but he couldn't do two things at once. He had no way to catch Bruno. Otherwise, he would definitely choose to foul at this time, because after entering the penalty area, Bruno would become even more terrifying!

Barzagli's reaction was not fast enough, and he was always beside Bonucci. After realizing the danger, he immediately rushed towards Bruno with help and blocked Bruno on the left side of the penalty area.

After the second half, although Bruno still ran more actively, he seemed to have consumed a lot of energy and was not as shining as he was in the first half.

If Salah, Vidmont and Guillerme were better at seizing opportunities, Udinese would have led at least 3:0 in the first half. Bruno sent them several wonderful passes and planned several attacks. , but just failed to score.

The two worked together for two seasons. With Bruno's gesture and the look in his eyes, Di Natale immediately understood what to do and nodded silently.

The temperature in Berlin is too hot, which is quite unfavorable for this kind of pressing team, and the consumption is very huge. Once the team cannot run and cannot establish a lead, the final result will be difficult to predict and may even be bad.

Kante quickly passed the ball back to the goalkeeper. After Kanizis stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he looked up and saw Di Natale raising his left hand and pointing faintly to the left. He immediately understood.

………………

Bruno and Bonucci followed different routes and chased the ball at the same time.

Marchisio was thrown away and Pogba had no time to return to defense.

Juventus quickly made its first substitution adjustment. Less than a minute after Di Natale came on, Allegri replaced Evra with Coman.

………………

After one substitution, neither side seemed to have the idea of ​​​​making any more substitutions.

"We can't continue like this!" Bruno muttered to himself.

In the past two seasons, Bruno and Di Natale have been the best offensive combination in Europe. The number of assists the two have sent to each other ranks first in Europe.

This made Guidolin's expression tighten in front of the home team's coaching bench, because he knew that this was Allegri's plan to defend Di Natale.

Therefore, when he saw Juventus counterattacking through the midfield, he was quickly intercepted by Udinese's double midfielders. When Juventus launched a counterattack in the frontcourt, he realized the opportunity and immediately moved towards Di Natale made a gesture.

Without Bruno, Udinese's midfield advantage would not be so obvious.

There was a bang in the Stadio Olimpico. Under the pressure of Tevez, Kanizis made a long pass and kicked the ball directly to the left.

He is a central defender and it is very dangerous to leave his position easily.

"Be careful with Bruno!" Pogba reminded in a voice.

Especially his usually cold, mechanical appearance without any expression, really makes people wonder if he is a robot.

After Koeman came on the field, Udinese's crosses from the wing were restricted, and it was difficult for the team to play the same offensive style as in the first half. But Juventus's situation is not much better, and it is also difficult to play a threatening offense.

After Udinese gradually stopped running, Juventus' counterattack began to create a threat.

After Di Natale gave the order, he quickly retreated from the front and ran to the left.

Pogba finally took his first shot of the game, a volley near the penalty spot, but it was blocked by Kante with his body. It failed to directly threaten the goal, but it was enough for the Udinese players. Be alert.

………………

Barzagli also stopped immediately, trying to block him. As long as Bruno is blocked and Bonucci and Pogba react, Bruno will be dead.

Udinese's long passes basically go to Di Natale, but there is also a point about which wing they play.

But Bruno knew his thoughts very well, so his choice was to smash the ball and cut inside immediately after an emergency stop, trying to get out of the way.

As long as there is space, his right foot can be a threat.
