Chapter 158 Losing His Wife and Losing His Troops

Just when the referee Skomina was about to blow the whistle to stop the game, Bruno suddenly stopped rushing forward, leaned back, and bumped backwards.

Safaree pulled Bruno's jersey tightly, and suddenly felt the opponent's forward force. His center of gravity immediately became unstable and he rushed forward due to inertia.

As soon as Safaree collided with Bruno's back, he immediately felt the force of Bruno's back hitting him, and the two bodies suddenly bounced apart.

At the same time, Safaree, whose center of gravity was unstable, subconsciously let go of Bruno's jersey and wanted to put his hand on Bruno's back to steady himself.

At this moment, Bruno suddenly jumped forward and got rid of Safaree's pull!

After finishing his escape, Bruno strode forward and hit the ball into Basel's penalty area!

In the penalty area, Basel's center back Susi was shocked. He didn't expect Bruno to be able to escape from the double team in that situation, and successfully turned around to get rid of Safari's foul defense and dribbled the ball over. !

Susie came over hastily.

Facing Susi, Bruno dribbled the ball at high speed, changed direction with his feet, and directly passed by the Basel central defender who rushed forward recklessly!

………………

"Change of direction! Beautiful! It's gone!"

"Single sword!"

…

reporters in the press box at St. Jacobs Park screamed.

Basel's other central defender is currently fighting with Di Natale. The Udinese captain performed very tough today. In the struggle with the tall and powerful Fabian Scheer, he restrained the opponent. The Swiss international was not allowed to escape.

Basel's goalkeeper Wazlik was ready when Susi came up to intercept. He wanted to attack, but he was hesitant. He hoped that the American central defender could stop Bruno!

Seeing Bruno easily passing his last defender, Wazlik knew that he could no longer hesitate, and he immediately abandoned the goal and attacked!

Facing Wazlik who abandoned the goal, Bruno dribbled the ball forward, slowed down slightly, and directly raised his right leg.

"This must be a fake move!" Waclik judged. He didn't make a save. Then he widened his eyes and saw Bruno's swinging right leg swinging down. Without any fake move, he directly kicked the ball!

"Bang!" Bruno suddenly hit the football with his right foot and made a muffled sound.

Wazlik knew that he had made a mistake in his judgment. He heard the muffled sound clearly, and his heart was filled with despair!

The football came with a roar, and it was in front of Wazlik's eyes in an instant. The Basel goalkeeper had no time to make a save. He just subconsciously raised his hand and saw that the football had flown past him. , and also brought up a gust of wind.

Immediately afterwards, he even heard the football rushing into the net with great force. The momentum of the impact continued unabated, and it made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the net.

The ball went in!

………………

"GOOOOOOOOL!!!!!"

In the ninth minute of the game, Bruno made a beautiful breakthrough from a double team, entered the penalty area and passed one person, and then hit Basel's goal with a powerful and heavy shot.

Udinese fans cheered excitedly in the visiting team stands at San Jacopo Park.

The moment Bruno saw the ball go into the net, he rushed out of the stadium excitedly and went to the front of the stands where the fans of the away team were, celebrating the goal.

Taking a two-goal lead so quickly, today's game is safe!

Other Udinese players also came in droves.

"The goal was scored! Udinese's counterattack was successful! The goal was scored by Bruno Fernandez!"

"Only nine minutes into the game, Udinese took a two-goal lead away from home!"

"This Udinese team is in great shape!"

"Oh oh oh oh! What a very beautiful and exciting goal! After Bruno got rid of the double-teams of Safaree and Elneny, he successfully broke through and entered the penalty area. Safaree's pulling and fouling failed. Stop him from advancing! Then Bruno passed another defender in the penalty area and scored a shot from the attacking goalkeeper. It was completely impossible for Basel goalkeeper Watzlik to save the ball! "

…

Seeing Bruno score such a wonderful goal, Udinese head coach Guidolin took the lead and rushed out of the coaching bench, cheering. This goal is really beautiful and crucial!

Basel, as the class champion of the Swiss Super League, is definitely not a weakling, especially at St. Jacobs Park Stadium. This team is still very effective. In the previous two seasons, the two Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea failed here and missed the Champions League knockout rounds.

For Udinese, it is crucial to get the start and score first.

………………

While the Udinese people celebrated the goal, the Basel people gathered in front of the penalty area and surrounded a Basel player lying on the ground.

That was Basel left-back Saafari who had just fallen to the ground after being broken through by Bruno.

Soon, a Basel player gestured to the sidelines to let the team doctor in.

Seeing the team doctor enter the field, the home fans who were booing Udinese instantly became quiet and looked towards the field in surprise, trying to figure out what was going on.

Soon, the replay on the big screen in the stadium explained the cause and effect clearly.

It turned out that after Bruno got rid of Safaree's entanglement, Safaree lost his balance and fell down without finding a point of support. Moreover, when he stumbled and fell, the Swedish defender sprained his foot.

When Bruno walked away and sent the football into the Basel goal, Safaree was sitting on the ground with pain on his face.

There was both psychological pain and physical pain caused by Bruno's breakthrough.

When the Udinese people celebrated the goal, the Basel players who knew the situation called the team doctor into the field.

After an on-site inspection by the Basel team doctor, the unlucky Swedish left-back's injury is not optimistic, because the sprained foot may have caused a fracture of the calf bone!

Then the stretcher was called in again.

………………

The medical team quickly fixed Safaree's calf and then lifted him onto a stretcher.

By this time, the Udinese players had finished celebrating and returned to the field.

Seeing the Basel players gathered together, they thought it was the Basel players who were complaining to the referee. However, soon after seeing the stretchers and the medical team, they knew that the matter was not what they imagined, but that a Basel player was injured. .

So, the Udinese players approached and asked about the situation.

The Udinese players were secretly stunned when they learned that Safaree might have broken his calf bone after falling. I didn't expect the confrontation between Bruno and Safari to be so fierce. I really underestimated Bruno, he was like an animal!

Everyone looked at Bruno in a slightly different way.

Bruno was also a little speechless. The opponent's left back was really unlucky. He lost his balance and broke his bone after falling.

He also went over to express his apology to Safaree, which made Safaree feel moved but also a little embarrassed. After all, Bruno is not to blame for his injury, it was just a normal physical confrontation on the court.

Elneny next to him was also very depressed. He and his teammates flanked Bruno, and not only did the opponent score a goal, but his teammate also suffered a fracture because of it. Who can explain this?

………………

After the game restarted, Basel's morale was obviously affected. On the one hand, falling behind by two goals in less than ten minutes of the game was even worse than the last match against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. On the other hand, seeing their teammates seriously injured in front of them also made them feel like a rabbit is dead and a fox is saddened by its own kind. So on the court, the fighting spirit of the Basel players was significantly weakened.

As for Udinese, they took a two-goal lead early, which also made them relieved. In the next attack, Udinese players were obviously not as active as before.

As a result, the rest of the first half ended in a relatively calm state. Udinese entered the halftime break with a score of 2:0.

After the start of the second half, the revitalized Basel finally strengthened its attack again.

However, Udinese, who have passed their peak state, seems to no longer know how to play football.

With Bruno, the core offensive organizer, being closely monitored by Basel, Udinese made certain changes. Kante delayed and Alan moved forward slightly. The Brazilian midfielder had to assume certain organizational responsibilities.

However, Alan has been criticized by the media and football commentators for lacking imagination in offense. He often can only pass back and lacks the imagination and courage to move forward.

In addition, Alan, whose physical fitness is not outstanding, suffered some disadvantages when facing tough confrontation from his opponents.

On the Basel side, after falling behind by two goals, they put down the pressure. Paulo Sosa adjusted the team's tactics in time, and they began to press out. Although this offensive tactic was a bit risky, For Basel, who must not lose the game, they must have this kind of adventurous spirit.

………………

Basel began to attack Udinese's goal amid the cheers of the home fans.

Ivory Coast international Dieye assisted near the penalty area. He changed direction and passed Cancelo who came up to intercept, and then wanted to drop the ball into the penalty area.

Alan was defending him, and the Udinese midfielder, who was relatively disadvantaged in the physical confrontation, had no choice but to commit a tactical foul and pulled Dieye down.

The referee Skomina's whistle sounded, he gave Alan a verbal warning, and then awarded Basel a free kick from outside the penalty area and into the wing.

Xhaka stood at the penalty spot. The corner kick he took went into the penalty area. Basel's high center forward Strehler jumped up from the back point and prepared to header. Udinese goalkeeper Kanizis attacked in front of the goal. He was ready to shoot in front. The football was plucked from the air.

However, Kanizis made a serious mistake in judging where the football would land. He attacked but failed to pick up the football. The football slipped past his eyes.

Strehler, who was at the back point, was already a little disappointed. He thought the football would be intercepted by the Udinese goalkeeper at the front point. Unexpectedly, the football flew over and hit him directly on the head, and then changed direction. , the football flew into the net.
