Chapter 213 Visiting Camp Nou

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals when Udinese challenged Barcelona kicked off at 8:45 pm, but after dark, Udinese took a bus to the Nou Camp.

Along the way, Barcelona fans can be seen everywhere.When they saw Udinese's bus, they all attacked in groups, and some extreme fans even threw things at the bus.

Fortunately, the Barcelona police who opened the way ahead quickly came to maintain order and ensure the safe passage of the bus.

Nearly 10 people are booing you at the same time, what kind of feeling is that?
Perhaps most people will never have such an experience in this life, but Bruno has experienced it!
The moment he walked into the Camp Nou stadium, the [-] Barcelona fans sitting in the stands booed him deafeningly, and many fans even yelled at him.

At that sudden moment, Bruno really felt like his legs were shaking.But he quickly stabilized his emotions, adjusted, and continued to move forward steadily.

This is Camp Nou!

The place with the largest capacity in Europe and the scariest atmosphere at home!

When Bruno stood in the stadium, the stands were crowded with people, [-] fans gathered.And when he was stared at by these [-] fans, he really felt chilled and creepy all over.

He believes that not only himself, but also everyone in Udinese must feel this way, because they are all visiting teams that are not welcomed by the 5000 people.

In the next game, they still need to endure the boos of 5000 people.

………………

"Hey, Bruno, are you scared?" Di Natale turned around, saw Bruno looking around, and asked with a smile.

Di Natale has a never-say-die spirit. He always goes all out in the game and is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles.

But Bruno was able to realize that it was not that he was not afraid, but that he was able to work hard to overcome his inner fear and show himself not to be afraid.

"Afraid, I must be afraid!" Bruno replied calmly.

Di Natale was a little surprised. He didn't expect Bruno to be so frank.

But soon, Bruno changed the topic again and said: "I was just paying attention to see if the security measures around me were strong. What if I score a goal and they rush in and beat me? What should I do?"

Such a serious joke immediately made Di Natale burst into laughter and said: "Run away, why don't you stay and fight with them?"

"Does this count as a foul? Will he be sent off with a red card?" Bruno asked again.

Gerald had a complete belly laugh this time, what kind of bad questions are these?
The teammates also noticed the captain's weirdness and thought he had taken the wrong medicine. When they asked about it, they all laughed.

"Don't worry, if a fan rushes towards you, I will be the first to rush out and kill him to protect you!"

"Although you score goals, I'm here!"

"How about I ask the coach to find someone to check?"

"Are you kidding me? The security at Camp Nou must be up to standard, and UEFA has checked it."

"Don't tell me, I'm also worried about Bruno."

"What are you worried about? If he can score, can you score?"

"I can't score, but I can prevent them from scoring, and I'm closer to the stands!"

……

The Udinese players were talking a lot and were a little confused for a while, but the pressure brought by Barcelona fans also quietly disappeared.

………………

After some fun, the game is about to begin.

The starting lineups of both sides have come out.

Home team Barcelona 433:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Ter Stegen;

Defender line: No. 22 Alves, No. 3 Pique, No. 14 Mascherano, No. 18 Alba;

Midfielder: No. 4 Rakitic, No. 5 Busquets, No. 8 Iniesta;
Forwards: No. 10 Messi, No. 9 Luis Suarez, No. 11 Neymar.

Visiting team Udinese 442:

Goalkeeper: No. 31 Kanizis;
Defender line: No. 89 Piris, No. 5 Danilo, No. 3 Maguire, No. 2 Cancelo;

Midfielder: No. 27 Vidmont, No. 4 Kante, No. 8 Bruno Fernandez, No. 19 Guillerme;
Forwards: No. 10 Di Natale, No. 20 Salah.

With the whistle of the referee Bruchy, the game officially started.

Amid the cheers of more than 9 fans at Camp Nou, Barcelona controlled the ball from the beginning of the game and launched a fierce offensive towards Udinese's half.

Udinese's defense was under tremendous pressure from the beginning of the game.However, Udinese’s defense is also very resilient, coupled with the number of defenders

………………

"Barcelona launched an attack from the left."

"Neymar dribbled the ball and cut inside. Piris clung to him and there was no chance."

"The ball was passed back to the left and handed to Alba."

"Alba takes the ball and crosses!"

"Later!" "Messi!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!"

"No. 14 minutes, only 4 minutes into the game, Messi scored a beautiful close-range push shot eight meters in front of the goal!"

……

After Messi scored, he was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium.

In the entire Camp Nou stadium, [-] fans shouted in unison and chanted Messi's name. The scene was really exciting!

Barcelona's players also rushed towards Messi and stepped forward to celebrate Messi's goal.

Head coach Enrique was also dancing excitedly on the sidelines.He obviously also knows very well that this goal undoubtedly plays a role in stabilizing the morale of Barcelona!

………………

"1:0! Barcelona got off to a pretty good start."

"This was an opportunity created by the left wing. Neymar drew the attention of Piris with the ball, and then suddenly passed it back to the left wing. Alba followed up and crossed, assisting Messi to score with a header!"

"This goal reflects Enrique's consistent tactical coordination. In fact, from the first ten minutes after the opening, Barcelona's ball control and overall advantage are relatively obvious."

"Udinese, on the other hand, mainly focused on defensive counterattacks, but the Udinese team did not play conservatively. They did not huddle at the front of their own penalty area as previously rumored, but instead actively pressed and pressed. To create pressure. But in this way, the probability of the team making mistakes will inevitably increase."

"Let's take another look at this slow-motion replay."

"When Alba passed the ball, Maguire obviously failed to follow Messi in time, which led to Messi's subsequent header, almost without anyone marking him."

"This is definitely a big mistake, because before the game started, we said that Udinese's header advantage is very obvious. If Maguire followed Messi just now, I believe it would be difficult for Messi to win. A chance to score."

"But no matter what, the mistake has been made, Udinese should be careful."

………………

Guidolin slapped his forehead hard, shook his head and walked back.

What he worried about before the game still happened.

Maguire is tall and has a great advantage in high-altitude balls, but his shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, he turns too slowly. He was thrown away by Messi just now. In fact, it is not his reaction that is slow, but his movement. .

But he does not regret his choice, because Bubonijic, who has been unable to obtain the main position in Udinese for a long time, is in even worse condition, so he will still choose Maguire.

Guidolin knows the English central defender and believes that he will gradually adapt as the game time goes by.

As soon as he reached the coach's bench, Guidolin turned around again, quickly came to the sidelines, and shouted towards the court: "Silvain, follow him, follow him closely, you have to keep an eye on him when he comes up. he!"

This goal conceded is not only Maguire's responsibility, it is also a big problem that Vidmon did not follow Alba immediately and gave him a chance to pass easily.

"Harry, it's okay, focus on the game!"

"N'Golo, Guilherme, you should put more pressure on your opponents and suppress the midfielder, do you understand?"

……

After the team conceded a goal first, Bruno gritted his teeth in frustration and exhaled heavily.

He forced himself to calm down and continue to focus on the game.As the core of Udinese's offense, he must maintain a high degree of concentration at all times.

Then he heard instructions from Guidolin on the sidelines.

Guidolin reminded Vidmont to follow Alba, allowing Kante and Guillerme to put more pressure on Iniesta and Rakitic to suppress Barcelona's midfield.At the same time, he kept the team compact and allowed Barcelona to press through the half.

This is the way Barcelona like to have the ball, they like to go halfway.

………………

In fact, Udinese didn't play badly after the start.

Gibruno sent a direct pass, and Salah made a pass from the right, but Di Natale failed to follow up and missed an opportunity.

Neymar took the ball from the left and cut inside several times, but he was trapped in the double-teams of Piris, Kanter and Danilo.

In addition, Suarez once fell in the penalty area and tried to get a penalty kick, but the referee ignored it.

Cancelo was dedicated to marking Messi. The Argentine star did not perform very well after the start. Barcelona's offense was mainly concentrated on the left, and the right side was basically misfired.

This is not surprising. Bruno is restraining Rakitic in the frontcourt, and Messi is restricted by Cancelo. Barcelona's right offensive channel cannot be opened, and they can only go to the left more often.

Neymar is indeed too strong!
This Brazilian is very magical. Almost as long as the ball reaches his feet, anyone, even three players double-team him at the same time, he can protect the ball and pass it out.

He can pass people with ease, as if any defensive player is useless in front of him.

The goal just now seemed to be Alba's cross, but before that, Neymar's pass allowed Alba to get rid of Vidmon, and the ball and pass were both done at the same time.

This is the world's top superstar!
