Chapter 316 The Winning Streak Ends
Chapter 316 The Winning Streak Ends
Is it because Cagliari is too strong or other teams are not up to date? After the No.17 round of the league was over, the Italian media had a series of debates on this.
However, this debate is obviously fruitless. Cagliari is strong, but Cagliari is not so strong that it is invincible. The reason why Cagliari is strong is because the team is united.
But from the perspective of the general environment, the reason why Cagliari can win consecutively and undefeated is because the competitiveness of Serie A has declined, but the Italians deny this fact from the bottom of their hearts. It was not until the phone call broke out more than a year later that the Italians woke up.
But what about awakening?Italian football can be called the most complicated among the five major leagues, because Italian football is linked to politics, and once something is linked to politics, it is destined not to be simple and clean.
The Serie A environment cannot be changed by anyone. This is why Li Yi wants to leave Serie A. The Serie A used to be brilliant, but the current Serie A has completely degenerated.
Winning Messina will widen the point difference with Juventus to 9 points, which undoubtedly adds fire to the No.19 round and makes Juventus even more invincible.
If Juventus loses to Cagliari in the No.19 round, then this season has basically come to an end. With Cagliari showing strength and state, the difference of 12 points is enough to determine the championship of this season.
Of course, there are no exceptions. For example, Moggi has completely lost his lower limit and played Cagliari crazily in the second half of the season, but it should not be possible if you think about it.
If Moji really can cover the sky with one hand, he won't have another phone call. Besides, if Moji dares to do it, Li Yi will definitely fight back. Anyway, he has already asked people to edit the footage about the Juventus game. As long as it is released, it will be enough for Moji and Juventus to drink a pot.
After the 18th round, Cagliari did not have any rest time. Three days later, it ushered in the No.[-] league round, and then the second round of the [-]/[-] knockout round of the Coppa Italia.
This is quite interesting for Cagliari. Cagliari won the last round with Lazio with a score of 5:1. This score is enough for Cagliari to enter the next round.
But Li Yi never dreamed that Cagliari almost lost the No. 18 round at the Friuli Stadium in Udinese.
In this game, Cagliari can be said to have played the main force, and the state is obviously much better than the previous game, but even so, Cagliari failed to take away a victory at the Friuli Stadium.
Since the problem wasn't with Cagliari himself, it was with the opponent. In fact, for the Udinese players in this match, Li Yi only had the feeling of beeping the dog.
Because Udinese's players are in such good condition, let's say goalkeeper De Sanctis, last season's selection of the best goalkeeper was a little behind Cech, which really stimulated the goalkeeper.
In this game, De Sanctis seemed to be on the hook. Not to mention the various shots of the Cagliari players, they were all single-handedly resolved by him.
In the No.303 minute of the first half, Cagliari scored a single goal through a wave of counterattacks. Conte intercepted the ball, Guardiola made a long pass, and Ribery chased the ball and rushed into the penalty area after throwing off the defender.
But in the end Ribery's single shot was blocked by De Sanctis' left foot. Facing the attacking De Sanctis, Ribery chose to push and shoot, but De Sanctis reacted very quickly. He went down one and his left leg was just in front of the ball.
But even De Sanctis, who was descended from the gods, still failed to block Cagliari's goal, and it was none other than Di Natale who almost joined Udinese last summer.
And still scored twice, No.601 minutes of the second half, Di Natale and Milito both rushed into the Udinese penalty area, and Poboski passed the ball at any time.
Milito, the Argentine striker's shots in this game were all resolved by De Sanctis, so this time Milito did not shoot himself, but chose to play for Di Natale. After attracting the attention of De Sanctis and the defensive players, he probably missed the ball.
Di Natale, who was at the back point, snatched a shovel shot before Kroldrup and scored the goal, catching up with the score 1:1.
In the No.20 minute of the first half, Udinese scored the first goal. Iaquinta carried Balza in the penalty area and used an imposing header to help Udinese open the scoring.
In this game, Udinese did not lose to Cagliari in terms of possession, shooting and defense. It can be said that this game is the most uncomfortable game Cagliari has played recently.
This is directly reflected in the score. Five minutes after Di Natale equalized, Udinese rewrote the score again and regained the advantage.
This time it was the midfielder Pizarro who scored for Udinese. He shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. With the cooperation of several passes, Pizarro came to the front of the Cagliari penalty area.
Immediately, a sudden long-range shot was made. Although Cech was very focused, he also made a save, but Pizarro's long-range shot was too angled, and the ball went straight to the corner. Cech tried his best but could only watch the ball enter the net.
Fortunately, Cagliari also has Di Natale in hot form, or the entanglements in the past summer have given Di Natale extra motivation.
In the past summer, Udinese watched Empoli's relegation and wanted to catch the leak, but with Cagliari's intervention, Udinese decisively withdrew because he was reluctant to spend money.
In fact, even if Udinese is willing to pay, Di Natale will eventually choose Cagliari. Cagliari is the defending champion and can play in the Champions League, but Udinese can only go to the UEFA Cup.
The relationship between players and clubs is actually like that between men and women. Women like to be pursued by men, and the more men there are, the fewer players. Players want to be pursued by clubs, and the more the better.
Although Di Natale has nothing to do with Udinese now, when he really faces Udinese, Di Natale always wants to show his best side.
No.707 minutes, Di Natale once again pierced De Sanctis's goal with a strong shot, and it was Poboski who passed the ball for Di Natale.
The Czech cut into the penalty area with the ball this time, but he didn't choose to shoot himself. Instead, he chose to attract the attention of the defender and pass the ball to Di Natale inside the penalty area.
Almost, just a little bit, Cagliari not only stopped their winning streak, but even their undefeated ones were about to be terminated.
After chasing the score, Cagliari tried to overtake, but Udinese made a quick counterattack. If it weren't for Cech's last heroic performance, Cagliari could only stay unbeaten in 42 games.
After surviving, Li Yi didn't dare to play at Tuo University. In the end, the two sides ended the match with a score of 2:2.
