Chapter 194 The ambition to compete for the championship

Zaccheroni did a good job in Udinese. Now Udinese ranks No.7 in the standings, which is a good improvement from the previous season.

But compared with Bruno, Zaccheroni's achievements are not something to be proud of.

He is 12 years older than Bruno, and no matter how old he is, he cannot be regarded as the head coach of the same generation.

In terms of performance, there is no way to compare. Udinese can only fight for the UEFA Cup place, and it is still hopeless, but Perugia already has the qualifications for the championship.

In particular, Perugia also reached the final of the Coppa Italia. It is entirely possible to embrace the Coppa Italia. In the first full season of coaching, it is possible to embrace a heavyweight trophy. Bruno is definitely the envy of all head coaches Object.

In another Coppa Italia semi-final, Samp successfully eliminated Vicenza and advanced to the final. They will become Perugia's opponents in the Coppa Italia final.

When the quota for the finals was announced, it seemed that the title of the champion already had the answer.

Sampdoria is no match for Perugia.

Perugia has already beaten Sampdoria twice. If you count that Bruno also cleaned up Samp in Inter Milan last season, it is equivalent to Samp died three times in front of Perugia.

It's like giving away children!
There is no way to compete with Perugia in the league. How can you let Samp have the courage to compete with Perugia for the championship?

The hero is short of breath!
Perhaps Samp's strength is not bad, and it is also a strong team in Serie A, but if they can't beat Perugia, no one can do anything.

The handicap offered by the bookmaker is very telling. The odds of Perugia's victory are 1.7, while the odds of Samp's victory are 5.3. It doesn't look like a handicap for two teams of equal level. .

Interestingly, the gaming company also offered a very attractive game, which is to bet on whether Perugia's coach and players will make trouble in the final, with odds of 1 to 2.

There is a wide range of things to do, and lottery fans are also very active in betting, because they feel that Perugia will definitely do things, and the gaming company will definitely go bankrupt because of this.
Of course, what is before Perugia is not the final of the Coppa Italia, and there is still nearly one and a half months before the final, when Serie A is drawing to a close.

Therefore, now all of Perugia's energy can be concentrated on the Serie A league, and they can do their best to sprint for a good ranking, or even the championship!

Bruno's ambition for the championship has actually been buried in Bruno's heart. He will not tell the players because he is afraid of putting too much pressure on the players.

But at this level of the season, there are some things that he can't hide if he wants to.

It's like if you have been firmly occupying the top position in the standings, even if you say every day that you just want to relegation, no one will believe it.

Bologna was kicked off the top of the list by Juventus, and it seems that their spirits are not so high. Then, it seems that only Perugia can pose a threat to Juventus.

No matter how low-key Perugia is, Juventus will not think that Perugia is just playing soy sauce, and media public opinion will label Perugia as a championship contender.

This is what Bruno worries about.

Perugia is immature, that's for sure, a young team, without two seasons of running-in, no matter how talented they are, there is no way to reach the peak. This is a considerable law of existence.

It can be seen from Perugia's unstable performance this season that they have lost too many points that should not be lost.

But now, even if Bruno remains low-key, it is impossible for Perugia not to attract people's attention, because everyone also hopes that the championship competition will be more suspenseful, rather than Juventus locking up the championship early.

In this case, Perugia ushered in the challenge of Naples again, but this time it was not the shrimp soldiers on the opponent's bench, but the real Naples main force.

Of course, Naples' main force is not very strong, at least there is a big gap with Perugia's strength, but don't forget that Naples is now a relegation team.

How terrible the relegation team is, presumably the old fritters are well aware of it.

Often in the final stage of the season, the championship teams are not as fierce as the relegation teams.

Competing for the championship is just about fighting for honor, while relegation is about saving your life!
Horizontally afraid of being stunned, stunned for fear of dying.

I'm afraid that Naples is really desperate, and Perugia will be disabled a few more.

But fortunately, Bruno will not send too many main lineups in this game. Except for Abbiati, who has almost no physical consumption, and Gattuso, who asked for leave in the last game, the other main players have got the opportunity to take turns.

There are many physical potions. Bruno doesn't have to worry about the physical fitness of the players, but he can't ignore the players' state. They are always dead grass main players. Can you still expect them to show their state in the battle?

Therefore, the necessary rotation is inevitable, and there is no choice even if it costs some performance.

In fact, Perugia's substitute lineup is also very talented. In addition to the lack of power in the midfield, both the forward line and the back line have enough deterrence.

This is very similar to Palma, which is thick at both ends and narrow in the middle.

Gattuso is the starting midfielder today, his left and right forwards are Genti and Gretti, and in front is Allegri, a standard diamond-shaped midfield position.

The offensive ability is definitely not that strong, but the defensive sweep is still very good on the table.

However, in the face of Naples, who is crazy about saving their lives, it seems that Perugia's midfielder is a bit overwhelmed.

The game went on for almost 20 minutes, and Bruno couldn't sit still on the bench for a long time, with black lines all over his head.

He also had to admit that today's lineup was a failure.

He even wondered, did these midfielders play Lianliankan in the midfield, and disappeared when they joined together?
Not only was the offense unable to play, but the defense also frequently had loopholes. The opponent seized the opportunity to play several threatening attacks and scored a goal.

Sighing deeply, Bruno knew that the players might not be to blame for this, because he had never practiced this lineup, and it was understandable for the players to make mistakes in their positioning.

It seems that this summer, I have to choose a few good substitute players for the Perugia midfielder, and then practice hard. Genti and Gretti are still a little bit less interesting. As for Allegri, just Just retire.

With such a good performance this season, he couldn't believe that Gao Qi didn't pay him to strengthen the lineup. Anyway, when he asked Gao Qi for money, he would be very confident.

In the end, the game was still tied with Naples. In the second half, Nedved, who came off the bench in the second half, hit Naples' goal with a heavy artillery to help the team equalize the score.

There is no danger!
