From the man behind the football king to the football king

When the game restarted, Fiorentina, with two players on the back line carrying a yellow card, played more passively.

In the 61st minute, they conceded another goal.

This time it was defender Erto who scored the goal, but it was not Bruno who assisted the goal. It was Mahrez who assisted Erto, but it was Bruno who passed the ball to Mahrez.

Bruno passed the football to Mahrez, and Mahrez passed the football to Erto who came in from behind. Erto shot hard and the football rolled into the near corner against the turf.

4:1!

Just one minute after Erto's goal, Bruno was replaced by Guidolin, along with team captain Di Natale.

In the 35th minute, Badu made a pass, and Basta shot unmarked with his left foot from the back point, giving Udinese the first victory.

………………

Since the advantage in the first round was large enough, Guidolin made extensive rotations against Udinese, including Bruno, Di Natale and other main players, all sitting on the bench.

At the last moment of the first half, the home team pulled one back. Marchese made a pass from the wing, and Konate headed in and scored, rewriting the score to 1:2.

At that time, Udinese was ranked third in Serie A, only 8 points behind Juventus at the top, and still had hope of winning the championship. As for Bruno personally, he scored 14 goals and assisted 17 times in 21 rounds of Serie A. He ranked first in Serie A's scorer list and was also Serie A's assist leader.

Especially Totti and Piola. Totti has not retired yet and has maintained a considerable scoring rate this season. Currently has 5 Serie A goals. Piola's lead is too big, and Di Natale is still 81 goals behind him.

Obviously, with the overall situation decided, Guidolin is saving energy for the next game.

Over the weekend, the 24th round of Serie A kicked off, with Udinese visiting Genoa.

However, now a single game best for Bruno is nothing to boast about. This season he has won no less than 20 best-of-one games, and he has won more than half of the best-of-one games in all Udinese games.

In January, Bruno was once again selected for the Serie A Best of the Month candidate list. In that month, he contributed 1 goal and 5 assists in 4 Serie A games. However, Udinese's poor record of 3 draws and 1 loss held him back and he failed to play in the league. Selected as the best player of the month for the third time in the season.

In December, Bruno once again won the Serie A Player of the Month. In that month, he scored 3 goals and 4 assists in 4 Serie A games, leading Udinese to beat two powerful enemies, Juventus and Naples, and once again won the fourth consecutive Serie A title in a single month. win.

When he took the stage to accept the award, the host also laughed and said that Bruno might be awarded the Serie A MVP in a year.

Even Serie A's Best of the Month is not a new title for him.

In the 48th minute, Burdisso was sentenced to death for a foul, and Muriel took a penalty kick, expanding the advantage to 2 goals again.

This game is Guidolin's 172nd Serie A game coaching Udinese, tying the record of the club's meritorious coach Bignho.

Both sides fought hard in the first half, but each missed scoring opportunities.

In the 30th minute, Chievo forward Taylor's heel shot hit the door frame. Udinese also wasted a golden opportunity in the 36th minute. Bruno's pass allowed Di Natale to form a single shot, but Di Natale's shot was bravely saved by goalkeeper Puccioni.

In the second half, Udinese finally opened a gap. First, in the 56th minute, Basta passed the ball and Di Natale broke the deadlock with a right-foot ejection from the right side of the penalty area.

The substitutes are team vice-captain Basta and forward Muriel. However, after Basta came on today, he did not appear as the right back before, but replaced Bruno as the attacking midfielder.

………………

In the 86th minute, Bruno and Muriel cooperated and sent out assists. Badu grabbed the spot and shot to seal the victory.

In the 69th minute, Feifazidis made a direct pass and Gilardino succeeded with a long shot from the outside, chasing the score to 2:3.

This also caused Udinese's midfield to lose control, and Genoa scored two goals in just ten minutes.

This was also what Basta did at Udinese in the previous two seasons. However, with the arrival of Bruno this season, Basta was squeezed to the wing or even the right back position.

In October, Bruno contributed 5 goals and 1 assist in 4 Serie A games, helping Udinese win four consecutive league victories. He also won the Serie A Player of the Month for the first time in his career.

On February 8, Udinese ushered in the 23rd round of the league. They sat at the Friuli Stadium and faced Chievo.

In addition, at the Italian Oscars on January 27, Bruno was also elected as the best player in Serie B for the 2012-2013 season.

………………

With Di Natale's scoring efficiency, he is very likely to overtake Baggio at the end of this season.

However, the possibility of further surpassing Nordahl with 225 goals, Totti with 232 goals, and Piola with 274 goals is getting smaller and smaller.

If Udinese can maintain its top three position at the end of the season, even if they fail to win the championship in the end, Bruno will be the most competitive candidate for the season MVP based on his personal performance.

Because the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Fiorentina did not consume much of the main players, and there was not much suspense in the last round, Guidolin only made a small amount of rotations in this game, including Bruno and Di Natale. The main players all started.

This is his 17th league goal this season. The total number of goals in Serie A has reached 193, ranking seventh in the history of Serie A. In front of him is Baggio who scored 205 goals. Among active players, he is second only to Francesco Totti. The Wolves currently have 232 goals.

In the end, Viola, playing at home, scored a goal in each half and won the game with a score of 2:0.

After the game, Bruno was once again selected as the best player of the game by the Italian media.

When the game passed 60 minutes, Guidolin began to make substitution adjustments to save energy for the Europa League knockout round in midweek. Bruno was also replaced in the 65th minute under such circumstances.

Although he can't compare with Pirlo, who was elected the best player of the season in Serie A, he deserves the title of the best player in Serie B this season.

In the 74th minute, Argentine midfielder Pereira, who came on as a substitute in the second half, received a pass from Di Natale and made a pass from the wing. Bruno outflanked and fired from behind, changing the score to 2:0.

At this point, Udinese can put aside the Coppa Italia matter for the time being, because the final will not arrive until early May, which is still nearly three months away.

On the evening of February 11, Udinese visited Stadio Franchi for the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals.

………………

However, Guidolin's celebration was disrupted by Genoa and he failed to win a victory at the Ferraris Stadium as he wished.

In the end, Udinese defeated Fiorentina 4:1 at home. With such a huge advantage, the two-round knockout match basically lost its suspense in this one.

In the 40th minute, Yebuda made a direct pass, and Pereira's offside shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Bruno succeeded in making a supplementary shot, extending the lead to 2 goals.

If Di Natale does not retire at the end of the season, next season he may even overtake the two legendary strikers Altafini and Giuseppe Meazza, who scored 216 goals, and rise to fourth place on the Serie A historical scorer list.

Bruno had just high-fived Basta when Guidolin stepped forward, pulled him into his arms, patted his back and said in his ear: "Well done, boy. Now have a good rest!"

However, the score in the two rounds was 4:3. Udinese relied on the huge advantage established in the first round at home to finally eliminate Fiorentina and reach the Italian Cup final again after 92 years.

The host's words caused friendly laughter in the audience, because they knew that the host was not joking, but that this possibility really existed.

In the 79th minute, Genoa took a corner kick and Gilardino scored twice with a close-range shot during the melee. While scoring his 170th career Serie A goal, he also helped Genoa equalize the score.

Conceding two goals in ten minutes made Udinese a little confused, but fortunately they did not lose any more goals and maintained the 3:3 score until the end of the game.
