Chapter 180 Missed the Top Ten at the Golden Globe Awards

When one-third of the Serie A schedule has passed, the championship situation this season has become clear again: it is the same as last season, it is still the battle between Juventus, Udinese and Roma!

After 13 rounds of games, Juventus had 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, scored 30 goals and conceded 7 goals, ranking first with 32 points.

Udinese also had 10 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, scoring 29 goals and conceding 16 goals, accumulating 32 points, but fell into second place due to a goal difference disadvantage.

Roma has 10 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, scored 25 goals and conceded 9 goals, ranking third with 31 points.

Compared with the top three in the standings, the gap has widened starting from fourth place.

The fourth place is Naples. Benitez's team has 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the first 13 rounds, scoring 24 goals and conceding 16 goals, ranking fourth with 23 points.

Genoa, which only defeated Udinese this season, is ranked fifth. They have the same record as fourth-placed Naples, with 6 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, but they are ranked fifth due to a goal difference disadvantage.

It can be seen that the advantages of the top three teams in the standings are very obvious. Roma is 8 points higher than Naples, averaging 0.6 points higher per game. This can be called a gap!

It is precisely because of this that the Italian media exclaimed that the competition for the Serie A championship this season is still between Juventus, Udinese and Roma.

In fact, the competition between the three teams this season will be even more intense than last season!

When Serie A reached the 13th round last season, Juventus scored 34 points, while Roma and Udinese both had only 30 points. Juventus was already in the lead.

………………

Udinese's outstanding performance is inseparable from the outstanding performance of its two core players Bruno Fernandez and Di Natale.

In these 13 league rounds, Bruno and Di Natale both scored 10 goals and tied for the top scorer in Serie A.

Udinese has only scored 29 goals in the league. Bruno and Di Natale have scored more than two-thirds of Udinese's goals combined.

This shows the importance of Bruno and Di Natale to Udinese.

In addition to scoring goals, Bruno also sent out 9 assists and directly made 19 goals by himself. This means that only 10 of Udinese's league goals are not directly related to Bruno.

Di Natale is also very good in assist data. He has recorded 4 assists in 13 league rounds and has also entered the top five in the assists list.

The combination of Bruno and Di Natale can be called a golden offensive combination. 3 of Di Natale's 4 assists were provided by Bruno; while 6 of Di Natale's 10 goals were provided by Bruno assisted.

The good interaction between the two ensured Udinese's excellent results.

Many Italian media have a view, that is, as long as one of Bruno or Di Natale is injured or is in a sluggish state, Udinese's performance will plummet.

Fortunately, this situation has not happened so far this season. Bruno has always stayed healthy and in very hot form.

The 37-year-old Di Natale is also getting stronger with age, and his performance can be regarded as phenomenal for his age.

………………

Bruno's outstanding performance is not just in Serie A. In the Champions League, his performance is even worse than that of Serie A.

In the 5 Champions League group matches that have been played, Bruno scored 9 goals and also provided 4 assists, directly creating 13 goals, ranking first in the Champions League scorer list and assists list, which truly shocked the entire Europe.

It can be said that Bruno almost single-handedly helped Udinese advance to the knockout rounds two rounds ahead of schedule in the Champions League group stage, and is even very likely to beat the Galacticos Real Madrid and appear first in the group.

Less than four months into this season, Bruno has played 21 games on behalf of Udinese in Serie A and European competitions, scoring 25 goals and assisting 15 times, averaging nearly 2 goals per game.

During the same period, only Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed Bruno in the number of goals in Europe. Real Madrid's number one star has been in great form this season, scoring 20 goals in 13 rounds of La Liga. In addition, he has scored in the Champions League, Copa del Rey, European Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup. There were 7 goals scored in the tournament.

However, if you add assist data, Ronaldo will be crushed by his national team teammates. Real Madrid's top star currently has only 5 assists, only one-third of Bruno's.

Not only that, Bruno also had 6 goals and 3 assists in 5 games with the Portuguese national team, ranking first in the Portuguese national team's scorer list and assist list in the new season.

In other words, since this season, Bruno has scored 31 goals and 18 assists in 26 games, directly creating 49 goals.

This is unmatched by any player at the same time!

………………

On the afternoon of December 2nd, Central European Time, FIFA announced the final three names for the 2014 Ballon d'Or on its official website. Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Argentina's new goalkeeper Messi, and German goalkeeper Neuer were on the list.

After the final list of three players was announced, the German media "Bild" spared no effort to build momentum for Neuer, saying that Neuer is the only player qualified to win the Ballon d'Or. It is expected that Neuer will become the first player since 1991. After Matthaus, the second German to win the Ballon d'Or.

The German media "Bild" pointed out that based on his personal performance, Messi is obviously not qualified to be among the top three. Neuer and Ronaldo both performed outstandingly in their respective positions and are the best representative players in their respective positions.

But compared to Ronaldo, Neuer's biggest advantage lies in his team honors. Neuer won the league, domestic cup, and World Cup championship honors with the team in 2014. Ronaldo only has the honor of being the Champions League champion, and his Portuguese team was beaten by Neuer's German national team in the World Cup.

The Portuguese media sneered at the German media's remarks. Portuguese media said that only Cristiano Ronaldo deserved the 2014 Ballon d'Or.

In addition, Portuguese media also stated that if Bruno did not participate in the World Cup in Brazil for special reasons, he would be another player to enter the final three-man roster.

Even based on Bruno's performance in 2014, the Portuguese media said that if Bruno participated in the World Cup in Brazil with the team, Portugal might finally aspire to win the Hercules Cup for the first time in history.

These remarks by the Portuguese media were ridiculed by the media in other countries.

Of course, they are not denying Bruno's outstanding performance, but they are laughing at the Portuguese media's obscene desire to win the World Cup.

Bruno was indeed one of the best players in world football in 2014, but he wanted to single-handedly change Portugal's elimination in the group stage of the World Cup in Brazil. The Portuguese still took it for granted.

………………

FIFA announced the final three-man roster for the 2014 Ballon d'Or, but it did not have any impact on Bruno, because he knew very well that with his current influence, he was very lucky to be selected for the 23-man roster.

He had not given any thought to making the final three-man roster.

He thought it was impossible to even make it into the top ten in the final voting.

According to various information revealed so far, his final ranking this year should be thirteenth, which is still some distance from the top ten.

Of course, these are all speculations by the media, because FIFA did not announce the final voting results.

Bruno and Vanessa were in front of the computer to check the list released by FIFA.

Since Udinese's next game will not be played until next weekend, Guidolin gave the Udinese team three days off and will not resume training until Thursday.

Udinese's recent games have been too intensive, with almost double matches a week. Although Guidolin rotated as much as possible, the players were very tired.

Guidolin specially told Bruno to have a good rest during this short holiday.

As Bruno is the core of Udinese and the only full-time player, he played all 21 games in the new season on behalf of Udinese, and 18 of them were played for the entire game. He was a substitute in only one game and was substituted early in two games.

In addition, Bruno also has to participate in the Portuguese national team competition. Even though he is an energetic young man who has just turned 20, he often looks very tired.

Compared with his teammates who traveled around, Bruno did not do that. Instead, he quietly took a car to Milan and lived a quiet world with Vanessa.

Bruno really likes this mature Italian beauty.

Vanessa is attracted to Bruno not only because of her tall figure, good looks, charming style, but also quiet personality.

Perhaps after witnessing the dangers of being exposed and experiencing severe beatings from society, this woman, who is about to celebrate her 27th birthday, has completely lost the unbridled speech and wanton behavior she had when she was full of energy. Coupled with the accumulation of years, it gives people a quiet and elegant feeling. When Bruno was with her, he felt like the years were quiet and the world was stable.

When the two of them are together, they both pay great attention to confidentiality. This is all because of Vanessa's past experience. Once the relationship between the two is exposed, it is very likely to have a lot of bad effects on Bruno.

After confirming that Bruno was unlikely to enter the top ten for this year's Golden Globe Awards, Vanessa also comforted him and told him not to be discouraged.

However, what she didn't know was that hidden in the body of the man in front of her was the soul of an adult, and he didn't care at all about these vanities.

Unless one day, he really hopes to win the Golden Globe Award or the World Footballer, he may care a little bit.

As an encouragement to Bruno, Vanessa said she would make meat buns for Bruno to eat, which made Bruno very excited.

He could finally see the charming side of this charming Italian beauty!

In this night where there was a lot of noise and even many fans of a certain two people criticizing each other on the Internet, Bruno had a very fulfilling life.
