Chapter 66 Untitled

Before the game with Udinese, Degan's words were immediately understood as an ultimatum by media reporters. Everyone knows that Degan's ownership is in the hands of AC Milan. If Atlanta can't make a successful transfer in winter and satisfy Degan, I'm afraid that even their head Shooter, Atlanta will also be lost.

You can imagine how Riodo would feel when he heard Degan's words. If he is an ordinary player who dares to threaten the club he plays for, he is afraid that he will be blocked endlessly, but Degan is different. After the beginning of this season, he not only contributed 29 goals, but also After assisting six goals, a person's efficiency is almost the combination of the front line of any big team.

Barcelona has unlimited scenery this season. After introducing Deco, Jiuli, Larson and other stars, it now has a tendency to dominate La Liga, but all their goals add up to only 50 goals, which is more than the goals created by Degan alone. But is this comparable?

Riodo also hopes to win an honor for the team when he is in charge of Atlanta, so that when people mention him in the future, he will be awarded the title of championship chairman before his name.

At the beginning of the new season, he did not expect that the team would be at the top of the table in the middle of the season. Kaiserslautern's name in Serie A is not good. Although it is not the first European team to win the league championship with a promoted horse, it is enough for Atlanta to be proud. It's time.

Even if Degan was not introduced by him, after all, this can't be wrong during his tenure. If he can really win a championship for the team, he will certainly be happy to see it.

Although Riodo is stingy, he is not stupid. If the team can really win this season's league championship, he will get not only reputation, but also money.

Even if you can't win the league championship, as long as you can make it to the UEFA Champions Cup, the appearance fee for six games in the group stage alone is enough to earn all the winter's investment.

If you are still reluctant to open the money bag, once Degan is really forced away, the loss will be really great.

After thinking about this truth, Riodo immediately ordered the club's transfer department to search for powerful players to fill the team's lineup according to Mandollini's requirements.

The reinforcement lineup still needs to wait until the winter transfer door opens. At present, Atlanta's most important thing is the game against Udinese.

After the team suffered the first wave of injury, the performance of this game is crucial.

In this game, Mandollini finally replaced the injured Montolivo with Budan and formed a three-forward formation on the front line. Pacini and Budan separated on both sides, and Degan rushed forward.

Zenoni and Marcollini's mission in this game is no different from that of full-backs. Mandolinei made up his mind to defend and counterattack and use Degan's speed to hit the opponent's defense.

In fact, if it is a defensive counterattack, Pia is obviously more suitable. Unfortunately, the Brazilian's performance in a few games this season is really terrible, and has been basically abandoned by Mandollini.

In this game, Udinese continued to play their usual 343 formation. The goalkeeper is still De Sanctis, the three-back Danish Kroll Drup, Argentine veteran Santa Cini, and Betto, Janculowski and Alberto are separated on both sides. Parallel positions, the three forwards are Dimikele, Aquinta and Dinatale.

Dinatale, a late player, has squeezed the team's original main center Fava to the bench after the adaptation period at the beginning of the season, occupying the main position.

Maybe Di Natale is not outstanding now, but his achievements in the future will definitely envy a group of players who were more famous than him and have been valued by the national team.

After the game started, the home team first made a threat. In the ninth minute, Pizarro made a free kick on the right side, and Yaquinta's header slightly missed the goal.

Atlanta rarely plays the formation of three forwards this season, and even Degan is not used to it. After the start of the game, it seemed a little chaotic and was suppressed by Udinese for a period of time.

It was not until the 24th minute of the game that Atlanta had its first threatening shot. Albertini made a tactical corner kick on the right side to replace Marcolini's cross. Degan headed the goal eight meters in front of the goal. De Sanctis had given up, but was defeated by Argentine veteran Sancini. Rescue on the goal line.

Sancini is definitely a typical example of old age. He can still occupy the main position in Udinese at the old age. Later, he will score in Serie A at the age of 40, and also serves as the coach of Udinese.

Old men are generally the patents of Italian players, such as Costakuta, Maldini, Virjord, Caboni and other veterans, who are basically 40 years old and can still fight in Serie A.

Sancini is still able to play on the field as an Argentine player in the Maradona era, which is really different.

Udinese's tactic is to seek stability, but don't think that the pace of their game will be slow. Once they seize the opportunity, their counterattack speed will definitely beat Serie A.

In the 26th minute, Udinese suddenly accelerated the attack, Pizarro split, Dimikele assaulted along the right side, Yaquinta and Dinatale have been in place. Bellini, who had no choice but to foul, pulled Dimikale down and got the first yellow card of the game.

Pizarro made a free kick on the right side, and Yaquinta's header nine meters away from the goal was saved by the responsive Tebi. Di Natale followed up shot slightly higher than the crossbar, and Atlanta escaped.

After gradually stabilizing the formation, Atlanta also began to try to counterattack. In the 30th minute, Albertini successfully cut the ball in the middle and handed the ball to Zenoni. After Zenoni broke through Kroldrup's defense and passed the ball to the far point. Pacini's header hit the post, and Degan's header missed again.

In the 38th minute, Yaquinta made a diagonal pass from the right side, and Di Natale headed the ball seven meters away from the goal, and was magically blocked by Tibi.

In the 45th minute, Atlanta played a wonderful cooperation. Degan suddenly accelerated and knocked back on the left side of the penalty area. Pacini made no adjustments while running. His left foot half volley pushed out the arc ball. The ball slightly deflected from the goalpost and hit the billboard. Atlanta also missed the best scoring opportunity in the first half.

At the end of half-time, both sides are still 0:0!

However, for Atlanta, where the wounded soldiers are full, a draw is also within an acceptable range. Even Degan has to admit that with the current strength of Atlanta, it is indeed not competitive, and this time there is no stubbornness. After the start of the second half, he also began to retreat to help the team. Defense.

It seemed that Atlanta was ready to defend a draw, and Udinese also became bold and gradually tried to launch an attack, hoping to score a goal.

In the fifty-fifth minute, Di Natale and Yaquinta changed positions and pulled to the right side. After receiving a pass from Pizarro, they passed a threatening ball from the right rib, and Dimikelai volley volley missed the near post.

Just a minute later, Yaquinta got another opportunity outside the penalty area, and his right foot volleyed vigorously and was blocked by Taibi's fists.

Udinese accelerated the pace of the attack. At that time, the initiative on the court was completely controlled by them. The offensive was higher than the waves. Atlanta was left and right, which looked extremely awkward. Degan sometimes even had to return to the penalty area and participate in the defense. Obviously, the attack could not be taken care of.

In the 70th minute, Jankulovski suddenly volleyed with his right foot 30 meters away from the goal on the left side, forcing Taibi to make a wonderful save and fly to seal the ball out of the bottom line.

In the 84th minute, it was Jankulovski's long pass from the left. Di Natale's beautiful right foot unloaded the ball, but the subsequent volley was slightly higher.

Atlanta was about to hold a draw, but just before the end of the game, there was an accident.

In the 87th minute, Sancini made a long pass in the backcourt, and Yaquinta received it in the arc of the penalty area. Sara behind him jumped up and headed the ball out in advance, but the referee blew Salala's foul. Atlanta players protested collectively, but it was difficult to change the referee's decision.

Mandolini, who was on the sidelines, negotiated with the referee and was too excited. Looking at his mouth shape, he knew that it was not a good thing. As a result, he was invited to the referee to the stand.

The Chilean Pizarro's free kick skills in Udinese can't be ignored. All the big men in Atlanta lined up in front of the line, but they still failed to stop the loss of the ball.

Pizarro took a free kick 18 meters in front of the goal, and his right foot shot directly through the human wall and flew into the left side of the gate, 1:0!

At the end of the game, Udinese finally took the lead at their home court.

In the subsequent game, although Atlanta launched a crazy counterattack, it failed to equalize the score. Rivalta was still fighting with Jankulovski. He was too big and was sent off by the referee with a direct red card.

In the end, Udinese won a victory at home and ended Atlanta's winning streak.

At the press conference after the game, Mondonic, who attended instead of Mandollini, denounced the referee on duty. The most common sentence he said was that the free kick did not exist at all.

But it still didn't help. Atlanta lost, and Degan had no choice but to taste the victory in all the games he participated in.

Then the media that saw the wind soon concocted a lot of articles, and the key point was that Atlanta was about to collapse one by one!
