From the man behind the football king to the football king

Just when Novara's offensive was getting stronger and stronger, just when Novara was full of confidence and believed that the goal was coming, Barry suddenly launched a quick counterattack.

They stole the ball in the backcourt and quickly released the ball to find forward Francisco Caputo on the front line. Caputo charged forward with the ball, then played one-two with his forward teammates and sent the ball into Novara's goal.

This sudden change caused the Piola Stadium to fall into dead silence for a while.

Bruno also shook his head secretly, but he was already prepared for this scene.

When Texel asked the team to attack from all fronts during the halftime break, he had already foreseen the risks involved. Once the team is unable to open up the situation for a long time, it is likely to be counterattacked by the opponent and lose the ball.

However, it is impossible for Novara to let the two midfielders stay behind just for this possibility.

The offensive power is insufficient and it is difficult to knock on Barry's goal.

Failure to score means failure to win, and the team will not be able to reverse Sassuolo and win the league championship.

And now that you have made a choice, you must bear the corresponding consequences.

Bruno had already realized this.

Seeing that his teammates were a little lost, Bruno stood up again and asked everyone to forget about the missed goal, stabilize their position, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

………………

The opportunity Bruno had been waiting for soon came.

After Barry took the lead by one goal, he did not play too conservatively and continued to attack Novara. They know very well that for Novara, a goal advantage is nothing at all. If they can take advantage of the psychological turmoil of the players after Novara loses the ball and score another goal, then the game will be really stable.

But the Bari players did not expect that the Novara players would recover mentally so quickly. As if they were not affected by the loss of the ball, they continued to invest in the game, and took advantage of the Barry players' pursuit of victory to launch a quick counterattack.

"Barry made a quick counterattack and passed a long ball from midfield to the frontcourt."

"Perdicone quickly stepped up and headed the ball to clear the ball."

"Buzigori dropped back and passed the ball to the left."

"Simone Pese takes the ball forward and Novara counterattacks."

…

Simone Pese dribbled the ball along the left to the frontcourt and quickly passed it directly to Mohammadi in front.

Mohammadi had no advantage in speed and chose to cut to the center after stopping the ball.

Bruno ran laterally from the right side to the front of the top area of ​​the penalty area to ask for the ball.

Mohammadi's pass happened to be out of reach of Barry's defensive players and came to Bruno.

Bruno did not choose to stop the ball, but lightly rubbed it, slowing down the speed of the ball, but it still rolled to the right, and he took a step forward.

Barry's midfielder reacted very quickly. He knew how strong Bruno's shooting ability was, so he immediately chose to get involved and blocked Bruno with his body, not giving him any chance to directly face the goal.

But Bruno also used his body to block Barry's midfielder, preventing him from reaching the ball.

At this time, another Barry player had also quickly returned to defense, and was about to form a double-team with Barry's midfielder.

………………

When Bruno caught the ball, he quickly moved his head left and right to see clearly the situation on the field.

At that time, after passing the ball to Simone Pese, Buchigoli turned around and moved forward quickly, and a Bari player also chased him and followed him back to defend.

Estimating Buchigoli's forward speed, Bruno used his body to block Barry's midfielder at the time when the opponent should arrive, and before another Barry player could return to defend, he knocked the ball with his right heel.

The football almost followed a straight line, crossed the top of the empty penalty area, and rolled to the left side of the top of the arc.

This was completely beyond the expectations of the Barry players and somewhat beyond the imagination of their own players. No one expected that Bruno would pass the ball in such a way.

However, Buzigori reacted very quickly, and Bruno's pass was very good. Buzigori quickly shook off the defender with a single lunge. He stopped with his left foot, swung his right foot, and hit it with a powerful kick. shoot.

Everyone at the scene only heard a "bang" sound. The football was like a cannonball fired from a barrel, quickly crossing an arc and almost grazing the right post and circling into Barry's goal.

The Bari goalkeeper made a flying save, but still failed to touch the ball.

"GOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the fifty-seventh minute, Novara scored Bari's goal!"

"1:1! Both sides are back on the same starting line!"

"The Bari people were ahead by just five minutes!"

"The midfielder Buzigori's long-range arc shot from outside the penalty area was a very exciting goal. But for this goal, the Novara midfielder should thank his teammate Bruno!"

………………

After scoring the goal, Buzigoli rushed towards Bruno excitedly, hugged Bruno with both hands, and picked up Bruno directly from the waist.

After landing, the two excitedly rushed to the sidelines and celebrated the goal.

"Bruno's performance is really outstanding!"

"Most of the credit for the goal came from him."

"Especially the imaginative heel pass just now, we even have to wonder if he has eyes on the back of his head. Otherwise, how would he know that Buzigori is moving forward?"

"Furthermore, we have to admire Bruno's creativity. He is obviously very aware of the characteristics of his teammates. Buchigoli threw away the defensive players as soon as he accelerated."

"It can be said that although Buzigori scored Novara's goal, Bruno took the greatest credit."

"This is also Bruno's 30th assist this season! Oh my God, a great number that is unbelievable!"

…

In the stands, countless fans were shouting the names of Buzigori and Bruno. Everyone obviously recognized Bruno's contribution, including Buzigori.

………………

After equalizing the score, Novara played better and better on the court.

Especially Bruno, who has excellent physical fitness and still keeps running on the court, flying all over the court.

In the 67th minute, when Bruno was retreating to defend, he wanted to jump out from behind to steal the ball, but accidentally kicked down the Barry player in front of him and gave Barry a free kick from more than 30 meters away. At the same time, he was shown a yellow card by the referee.

This is Bruno's first yellow card in his career.

The fans at Piola Stadium cheered towards Bruno, as if to celebrate Bruno finally getting a card.

Obviously, they like to see Bruno's high spirit and never give up on the court.

Bruno was also very innocent and took the initiative to reach out to his opponent, saying that he did not mean it.

The Bari players also knew very well that Bruno would have stolen the ball if he hadn't made a sudden move. This is mainly due to his rich experience and knowing how to protect the ball, so he does not blame Bruno for this foul.

………………

Subsequently, under Novara's offensive, Barry chose to recover across the board, defend his own half, and wait for opportunities to use quick counterattack tactics to deal with Novara.

If there is not a good opportunity, they will basically not attack the frontcourt.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Novara's pressure.

For Barry, getting a point on Novara is also an acceptable result.

In order to win and win the league championship, Novara had to continue to take the initiative to attack.
