Chapter 286 Taking Over

Bruno has been hiding behind the scenes, carefully observing Arsenal's defensive position in this game and Coquelin, an opponent he is not very familiar with.

In the past, when he was catching the ball, the evil beggar would come up to defend him, but now he basically just ignores it.

Coquelin put more attention on the more active Immobile in defense, although Immobile has not performed much since the start of the game.

After Bruno observed for eight minutes, he finally decided to take over the banner of leading the team.

Immobile is actually just used as a shield, misleading the opponent into thinking that he will only defend with peace of mind in this game, but the real organizer is Immobile.

This is not the case.

When Udinese attacked again, Bruno waved for the ball in the center circle.

When Di Natale saw Bruno asking for the ball for the first time in this game, he knew what he was going to do, so he passed the football back without any superiority.

When Bruno received the ball, Arsenal midfielder Coquelin still focused on Immobile, who was running horizontally.

Immobile is indeed reaching out to Bruno for the ball, which further confirms the speculation of the Arsenal players: the core of Udinese in this game is the boy Immobile!

………………

Bruno raised his foot and made an action to push the football to Immobile. Coquelin ran towards Immobile in advance, thus clearing the middle.

Bruno drew back his foot the moment before he kicked the football, took a feint and then moved the football forward.

He wants to dribble the ball straight towards Huanglong!

Coquelin was shocked and turned around to attack Bruno again.

Seeing Coquelin moving closer to him, Bruno kicked the football with the outside of his instep to Immobile who was pulled aside while dribbling.

After passing the ball, Bruno did not stop, but rushed in faster, looking like he was going to have a one-two with Immobile.

Coquelin did not follow Bruno, but went to fill the position of defender Koscielny. Because after Koscielny saw Immobile taking the ball, he pushed it out, so that the area he was originally responsible for became empty.

Coquelin has to ensure that this gap is not exploited by his opponent.

At this moment, Immobile passed the football between Koscielny and Coquelin, and the direction of the pass was Bruno!

………………

Arsenal's other central defender is the German Per Mertesacker. The Arsenal captain pounced on Immobile when he passed the ball to Bruno.

He knows that Bruno will receive the ball, and then he may take a long shot or pass to Immobile, who is playing one-two with him, so he must not receive the ball.

Mertesacker is different from the young Coquelin. Although he has never played against Bruno, Bruno is currently a dangerous person who can be ranked among the top three in world football. He cannot be underestimated under any circumstances, otherwise he will It will put the team in danger.

Di Natale was diagonally in front of Bruno, looking like he was about to catch the ball. After passing the ball, Immobile continued to penetrate in, as if he was going to play one-two with Bruno.

Just when everyone thought Bruno would catch the ball and send the football to the area in front of him, he spread his legs and walked straight over the football!

Mertesacker didn't expect Bruno to miss the ball.

Could it be that he had eyes behind him and knew that he was coming to defend him?

The football passed in front of Mertesacker, and his eyes followed the football to the space behind him.

In the gap he left, a figure appeared there. He didn't see the person's face, but he saw his number - No. 10!

Mertesacker's heart felt cold!

………………

"Antonio Di Natale! He received the ball in the penalty area and shot!"

Wenger should be grateful that he did not take Cech out of the starting lineup when he determined the starting lineup before this game. Because in the face of Di Natale's sudden shot, it was Cech who made a wonderful save and pushed the football out of the baseline with his fingertips!

"Wonderful save! Petr Cech! I didn't expect that the most threatening attack after the start of the game came from Udinese! Di Natale's shot almost gave the visiting team a goal!"

Mertesacker looked at Bruno with complicated eyes, holding his head in his hands and looking disappointed.

First of all, this is a very beautiful offensive cooperation, secondly, I was fooled by this No. 8, and thirdly, if it were not for Cech's outstanding performance, Arsenal would have fallen behind at home!

He suddenly understood why Immobile was Udinese's core player in this game. It was fake!

Udinese has never changed its commander. Their real commander is still No. 8, Bruno!

………………

"Bruno passed the ball to Immobile and ran forward...Immobile passed the ball over, one-two! Do you want to continue to cooperate?...Leak! Bruno passed the football! Take it. Who's coming down... Di Natale breaks into the penalty area! He shoots the ball! Great attack and defense!"

The commentators and fans were very excited, but the players on the field did not think so - the Udinese players were regretful, and the Arsenal players were shocked.

Di Natale, whose shot was saved, also held his head in his hands, looking very regretful.

Bruno didn't expect that such a wonderful shot could be saved. He raised his arms to cheer at first, but now he had to fold his hands behind his head, with an obvious expression of disappointment on his face.

He originally thought that this beautiful offensive cooperation could help Di Natale score a goal, so that the team could take the lead on the road. This was definitely an exciting goal. The teammates were able to completely put aside their distracting thoughts and go all out to win the game.

Regret to regret, disappointment to disappointment, Di Natale still turned around and extended his thumb to Bruno who leaked the ball to him, indicating that he had made a good pass.

………………

When he saw Koscielny going to attack Immobile and Bruno pushing forward, he expected that Mertesacker might also rush out to challenge Bruno.

On the one hand, Bruno is indeed unmarked and needs Mertesacker as a central defender. Another aspect is that because Koscielny has already stepped up, if Mertesacker is still behind, Udinese will use it to counter offside, so he must step forward in time.

Then you can take advantage of this by plugging it in from behind.

The problem is that he can't shout "Give me the ball", which would attract the attention of everyone at Arsenal.

Of course, that may help Bruno reduce the defensive pressure he faces, but Di Natale is more willing to let himself complete the shot.

So he can only hope that Immobile will pass the ball in Bruno's direction, and at the same time, Bruno will know that he is running without informing him and miss the football.

This requirement is really high enough. Di Natale doesn't know if Bruno can do it. He can only try it once. Anyway, regardless of whether Bruno missed the ball or not, he would complete that move. Even if he could really attract the attention of the opponent's defender for Bruno, it would be regarded as completing the task.

Unexpectedly, when he crossed the line between offside and non-offside in Arsenal's defense, he saw that Bruno really gave the football over!

………………

Di Natale thanked Bruno for the leak, but he still wanted to ask Bruno why he gave the ball to him.

"Intuition and tacit understanding." He liked Bruno's answer very much.

Udinese won a corner kick, and Bruno, the team's best set-piece expert, naturally had to take the penalty.

He did not blame Di Natale for wasting an excellent opportunity, but he still felt regretful when he saw the Arsenal and Udinese players preparing for the corner kick.

If this goal is scored, teammates will believe that beating Arsenal with Udinese's strength is not a fantasy!

Bruno shook his head slightly.

Udinese's corner kick did not pose any threat to Arsenal's goal. Di Natale jumped high, but he headed the ball high. The football flew high over the crossbar. Cech just waved his hand and didn't even jump.

When everyone was running back, Immobile happened to be facing Bruno. He showed Bruno a questioning expression, which meant: "Who will organize this game?"

Bruno pointed to himself: "It's me for now."

Immobile nodded.

………………

I have been with Bruno for more than a month, and he doesn't really listen to what other people on the team say, even the captain Di Natale. But he listened to whatever Bruno said, and rarely had any objections.

When Guidolin asked Bruno to help Immobile integrate into the team, did he foresee that one day the relationship between Immobile and Bruno would develop to this point?

In fact, it wasn't just Bruno who helped Immobile integrate into the team. The more he saw Bruno's performance in training and games, the more Immobile admired this guy who claimed to be "not a genius."

Not only does this guy have the best skills in the world, but his awareness is also first-rate. Just like the one that was leaked to Di Natale just now, he was completely facing him before and didn't look behind him at all. How did he know that Di Natale behind him was telling him?

It stands to reason that a strong football awareness should be accumulated through continuous competition - people generally call this "experience". But Bruno's football awareness seems to be innate and a talent.

Immobile believes that even if Bruno never looks up, he knows everything about what is happening in every corner of the field. Just like when he missed the ball to Di Natale just now.

This is amazing, isn't it?

He asked Bruno how he did it, and Bruno's answer was: "Intuition."

Immobile prefers to believe that it is talent, talent, and an indescribable feeling.
