From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 22 The Winner

Bruno rushed out of the court wildly, spreading his arms all the way and gliding across the Piola Stadium.

All the fans in the stadium were chanting his name until he finally stopped under the main stand, hugged his teammates who were catching up behind him, and celebrated the goal happily.

This goal almost completely killed the game!

Conceding three goals in the first sixteen minutes, this was a completely broken rhythm!

It can be said that this goal had a heavy blow to Sassuolo's morale, which can be seen from the expressions on the faces of each of their players, especially their defense.

………………

"Sassuolo's defense has never been strong. They have conceded 34 goals in the first 30 rounds of this season. Originally, in the first 16 rounds of the season, they only conceded eight goals. But after entering December, Sassuolo The defense began to have problems frequently, and this game is more like a microcosm."

"On the contrary, Novara's performance since December this season has become more and more impressive. It has only conceded 18 goals in 13 league games, the fewest goals conceded in Serie B during the same period. Its solid performance on the defensive end is also a good example for Novara. One of the key factors for Vara to achieve 17 consecutive victories."

"Of course, the primary factor in Novara's 17-game winning streak is their excellent offensive performance. In 18 league games since December, Novara has scored a total of 49 goals, averaging close to 3 goals per game!"

"Especially Bruno. So far, he has scored 16 goals in Serie B and provided 24 assists. The total number of goals in the Novara League is 75, and Bruno alone was directly involved in 40 of them. , which shows his excellence and importance to this Novara team."

"Last summer, Novara only spent 4 euros to introduce this Portuguese talented player. It was a great value! Because Bruno perfectly filled the shortcomings in Novara's lineup and improved the team's performance. Overall strength, especially offensive ability.”

"Currently, this 700-year-old Portuguese genius midfielder is worth 1000 million euros in the German transfer market. Considering his -year-old age and huge potential, if other teams want to get him, I am afraid that at least It would cost million euros!”

………………

Texel on the sidelines obviously also recognized Bruno's performance.

Especially in several strong dialogues, Bruno obviously performed better and his scoring efficiency was more stable.

It can be said that Bruno is indispensable for Novara's dominance in Serie B this season.

Of course, this is obviously not Bruno's best performance, and his potential is simply immeasurable.

"We found a treasure!" Tessel said with a cheerful smile.

When Giaretta brought the Portuguese kid to the team, he was skeptical. However, Bruno soon impressed him with his diligence.

And Bruno did not disappoint him. Since his debut on behalf of Novara, he conquered him, the whole Novara team, and all the Novara players with a performance of 8 goals and 5 assists in 7 games. Walla fans.

Afterwards, although Bruno suffered an embarrassment of 8 goals and 0 assists in 0 games, which also caused Novara to suffer a six-game losing streak, Texel never gave up on Bruno.He knew Bruno was a genius, and he knew Bruno's hard work even more.

Geniuses may not necessarily succeed, and those who work hard may not succeed, but if a genius still works hard, there is no reason why he cannot succeed.

Sure enough, after going through that difficult time and adapting to the opponent's targeted defense, Bruno's performance rebounded, which drove Novara to take off, allowing Novara to achieve a record-breaking 17 points in Serie B history. winning streak. During this period, Bruno alone contributed 9 goals and 16 assists.

"What a pity! Such an excellent player, the team can't keep him for much longer!" The assistant next to him told the truth that made Tessel very unhappy.

Although judging from the current situation, Novara will almost certainly be able to return to Serie A next season, but with Novara's foundation, it is difficult to offer conditions that satisfy Bruno.

Although Bruno and Novara still have two years of contract, in theory Bruno can be kept for another two years.

The sky in Novara is too small to accommodate Bruno, who is about to spread his wings and fly high.

Of course, the most important thing is that Novara must not be able to refuse attractive offers from other teams.

As far as Texel knows, strong teams in Serie A have been in contact with Novara and have put forward very tempting conditions.

"I have a strong hunch." Texel raised his head and glanced at the sunny stadium. "We will definitely win the league championship this season."

His assistant nodded.

Although even if they win the championship, it is only a championship in the second Italian league, but for Novara, this is the highest honor in the team's 105-year history!

<divclass="contentadv">For this team from a small town on the northwest border of Italy, they have few honors in history. The best championships are three Serie B championships, and they were in the early stages of the team. The most recent victory in the second division was in the 1947-1948 season, 65 years have passed since then!

His eyes quickly looked at Bruno on the court.

………………

At this time, Bruno on the court was still looking for opportunities after the game restarted.

Especially against Magnanelli who was defending him, Bruno frequently used his advantages and range of activities to pull and create opportunities. This made Captain Sassuolo a little exhausted, but he had to support himself hard.

Of course, Novara cannot always attack the opponent. On the one hand, the players' physical fitness does not allow it, and on the other hand, the team's tactics are not arranged in this way.

After half an hour of game time, Novara took the initiative to slow down the offensive, and Sassuolo, who finally stabilized his position, once tried to counterattack.

After Novara paid two yellow cards, he barely suppressed Sassuolo's attack.

However, as a team that has long been at the top of the league standings, Sassuolo's strength is unquestionable.

Novara was able to take a three-goal lead in just 16 minutes in the first half, mainly because Sassuolo's understanding of Novara was still in the first round of the confrontation between the two sides. As a result, Novara led by Bruno He was caught off guard and conceded three goals in a row.

As they adapted to the new Novara, their strength finally began to show.

When the game reached the 61st minute, Sassuolo once again completed a counterattack after stealing the ball in midfield. Magnanelli dribbled the ball to the outside of the penalty area and passed it directly to Masucci.

Masucci quickly went straight into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he made an emergency stop and suddenly started to shake off Marianini. When he saw the Novara goalkeeper abandoning the goal, he decisively crossed the ball to the goal with his left foot.

The ball passed between the goalkeeper and Marianini. The Novara goalkeeper and defender were frightened and tried desperately to make a recovery. But Sassuolo's talented winger Berardi jumped out from behind Mariannini and easily pushed the ball with his right foot in front of the goal, sending the ball into Novara's goal.

1: 3!

Sassuolo pulled one back.

………………

Berardi, who scored the goal, was extremely excited. Regardless of the fact that this goal did not have much impact on changing the situation in Sassuolo, he rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

This talented winger from Sassuolo was once called the biggest discovery of Serie B this season along with Bruno. But as Bruno led Novara to 17 consecutive victories, the Italian media no longer mentioned the Serie B double star.

Before this game, Berardi vowed to compete with Bruno in the game.

However, the first half of the game became Bruno's personal performance. This made Berardi very depressed. He could only see his opponent Bruno Fernandez scolding Fang Qiu on the court, but he could only be helpless and furious.

Now, he finally helped Sassuolo score a goal and his emotions were somewhat released.

After regaining a victory, Sassuolo's morale was greatly improved. They turned against the visitors and began to suppress Novara.

In the 76th minute of the game, under the pressure of Berardi, Novara captain Rudy accidentally scored an own goal.

As the game approached 80 minutes, Sassuolo tied the score at 2:3, which brought the suspense of the game back.

In the final stages of the game, the scene became unprecedentedly tense and intense.

But until the referee blew the three whistles at the end of the game, Sassuolo failed to score the third goal of the game.

Moreover, taking advantage of Sassuolo's full pressure at the last minute, Novara made a quick counterattack through a midfield steal in the 90th minute, and young forward Farago, who came on the bench, scored another goal.

4: 2!

Novara seals the victory!
