Chapter 307 The End of the Legend
Time passed slowly in this stalemate.
From the equalizer in the 25th minute, to the next 30 minutes, to the 35th minute, to the 40th minute...
When time passed bit by bit, but the score on the court never changed, everyone became worried and began to feel anxious.
Not just the fans and media reporters on the sidelines, or the audience in front of the TV, but also the players on the field.
But Bruno always remained calm, comforted his teammates and stabilized everyone's emotions. The one word he emphasized the most was opportunity!
He believes that opportunities will definitely arise!
………………
"On April 15, 2016, at 9:29 pm, in the 38th round of the 2015-2016 Serie A season, Udinese played against Carpi at home. In the 44th minute, 21-year-old Bruno... Fernandez scored his 38th Serie A goal of the season! ”
Everyone in the audience was shouting for him: "Goal one more goal! Goal one more goal!! Goal one more goal!!!"
He contributed two assists and a goal, and all three of Udinese's goals came from his feet.
This is one of the greatest records in Italian football history!
Of course, this may also be the last Serie A goal of Di Natale's career, because he will officially hang up his boots after today.
At this moment, all the fans are praying for him. Everyone saw his diligence and hard work on the court. He kept running almost the entire game, sprinting back and forth as if he would never tire.
This is the 21st goal scored by the 38-year-old Udinese legendary captain this season. He finally equaled the record of 7 consecutive Serie A seasons with more than 20 goals set by AC Milan's legendary striker Nordahl 60 years ago. Ball record!
The game has reached this point, and Udinese is basically guaranteed to win. The only suspense is that Bruno is one goal away from breaking the historical record of Italian football.
………………
After the start of the second half, Udinese launched a round of attacks, and Bruno assisted Di Natale to score a goal.
Immobile could hesitate any longer. After stopping his chest, he quickly picked up the ball with his right foot.
As the game time passed bit by bit, everyone could feel Bruno's diligence and hard work on the court.
Of course, this means that Carpi's relegation efforts have failed and they will be relegated this season.
After reversing Carpi 2:1, Udinese can play more patiently and handle the game more calmly in the second half.
Especially with Carpi's physical exhaustion, it will become more and more beneficial to Udinese, and these are Bruno's opportunities.
After establishing a 3:1 lead, Udinese began to consciously help Bruno score, but Carpi seemed to be competing with Udinese and refused to let Bruno score.
“He has even tied the single-season scoring record in the entire history of Italian football. In the 1928-1929 season, which was also the eve of Italian football entering the professional league, Inter Milan’s legendary star Meazza set a record of 38 goals in a single season. "
………………
Zapata was stuck in the penalty area, but had no chance. He could only head the ball out of the penalty area and towards Immobile on the left.
And now, every step he takes is creating new history!
………………
Starting from the 61st minute, Carpi made three substitutions to strengthen defense.
At this moment, he suddenly saw in front of him, in the direction of the top of the penalty area, Bruno, wearing a black and white sword-striped shirt, was running over, raising his hand to ask for the ball from him.
When the game reached the 44th minute, many people noticed that the linesman on the sidelines raised his sign and called for three minutes of additional time.
This is a clear signal to step up the attack.
But this is also the end of a legend!
Bruno has always believed in this, and the facts have once again proved it.
At this moment, he could clearly feel all the movements around him.
In the entire 87-year history of Italian professional football, only two players have achieved this achievement, one is Nordahl, and the other is today's Di Natale.
…
On the scoreboard of the Friuli Stadium, the time finally jumped to eighty-five minutes.
When Bruno volleyed the ball into the goal, the entire Friuli Stadium burst into cheers.
Bruno was on the left side of the top area of the penalty area and spotted the ball.
It's too cold to be at a high place, and it's easy to lose your enterprising spirit by being alone in the lead. Under such circumstances, you must defeat yourself in order to create new history.
Countless fans may have also been moved.
There is a saying that a person who travels a hundred miles is only half ninety, which means that after walking ninety miles, it is only half completed, and the remaining half is in the last ten kilometers. The same is true for football matches.
When walking back to the court, he even ran to the coach's bench and shook hands and hugged Guidolin, Portolucci and others one by one.
"Let us congratulate Bruno here! Congratulations to him for once again refreshing his Serie A single-season scoring record! But at the same time, we must also encourage Bruno again and hope that he can continue to work hard, because there is still a second half of the game, as long as If he continues to work hard, I believe he will have a chance to break this record.”
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!"
Even the commentators on the live broadcast called with emotion: "Let us cheer for Bruno together!"
After eighty minutes, Bruno began to expand the scope of his activities without any scruples.
Bruno would definitely not be able to hear the voice of the live broadcast commentator. But he heard the calls from the fans and media reporters in the stands.
Obviously, this team is competing with Udinese.
At this time, Carpi had no idea of scoring points at the Stadio Friuli.
After every run, after every sprint, he would be so tired that he would stop and bend over, panting.
There are only more than three minutes left in the first half.
“The ball went in!!!!”
Bruno rushed out of the stadium excitedly and ran all the way. Many, many fans stretched out their hands and high-fived Bruno as he flew by.
This is also Di Natale's 249th Serie A game in his career, officially surpassing Totti, who scored 248 goals, to become the second-leading goal scorer in Serie A history.
This night, fans all over the world are cheering for Bruno.
Udinese launched an offensive from the left.
After confirming that he had a chance to kick, Bruno immediately raised his chest and stopped towards the incoming ball. The football hit his chest and bounced down. Bruno, on the other hand, turned sideways, stood on his right foot, raised his left foot, and hit the ball directly without waiting for the ball to hit the ground!
In the face of Udinese's powerful offensive, Carpi cannot stay focused and committed for a long time. They will make omissions, especially when the game time is getting closer and closer to the end, such as the last few minutes of the first half.
"Bruno stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area... and hit the goal directly!"
"The new FIFA Ballon d'Or winner continues to set a new Serie A single-season scoring record!"
Anyone can see the pain he is feeling at this moment. It is the way he is clenching his teeth and struggling to hold on even though his physical strength is almost exhausted. Even if it is just through the live TV camera, everyone can clearly see it. Feel it.
Whether they are Carpi fans or Udinese fans, they are all happy for Bruno at this moment.
Whether it was the fans at the scene, the media reporters, or the audience in front of the TV, they were all looking forward to the birth of this goal, but Bruno always seemed to be just a little behind. Some opportunities are bad, some are not grasped by oneself, and some are destroyed by opponents...
After Bruno celebrated with his teammates and listened to the cheers of the fans in the audience, he was also very excited.
Cancelo suddenly stepped in, cooperated with Badu, attracted Carpi's midfield defender, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.
"Forty-fourth minute, forty-fourth minute! All fans at the scene and viewers in front of the TV, please remember this time!"
Immobile was surrounded by defensive players. He wanted to stop the ball and cooperate with Cancelo and Badu, but he was worried that he would be entangled by the surrounding defensive players, so he couldn't help but feel hesitant.
"This is indeed a very exciting goal. Zapata's header was passed by Immobile. After Bruno stopped the ball with his chest, he volleyed directly with his left foot. The whole goal process was very clean and neat. Without the slightest obstruction, Carpi's defensive players had no time to stop Bruno. They could only watch the ball go into their goal. "
Everyone is encouraging him to keep up his efforts and strive to score another goal.
"But there is no need to be too anxious, we still have the second half."
However, in these seven years, Nordahl's number of goals is still slightly higher than that of Di Natale. The Swede scored a total of 194 goals in those seven years, while Di Natale scored 176 goals.
………………
"The time in the game is running out, but he still doesn't give up."
In addition, he also sent wonderful passes to his teammates, and he also made more than a dozen shots, including some wonderful shots, but he was still a little short of scoring.
Bruno is also complacent.
The score has changed from 2:1 at the end of the first half to the current 3:1.
Bruno was quickly caught up by his equally excited teammates. Udinese players gathered around the sidelines to celebrate Bruno's goal.
Whether it is out of their own professionalism or simply to vent their anger, Castori's team obviously does not want Udinese, especially Bruno, to score again.
………………
Udinese also made substitutions. The young player Perica came on and replaced the old captain Di Natale who was not physically fit.
"From him, we can feel the charm of the most primitive football and the spirit of competitive sports."
"If God is really fair, then I think he should give Bruno a reward, because Bruno is using practical actions to tell us and tell everyone that this is how football should be played!"
