Chapter 170 Ned's Return
Piacenza won, and they were very grateful to Perugia.
In Serie A, no team is so friendly to mid- and downstream teams.
Perugia cannot win. As long as the main lineup comes in, there is still a great chance to win, but they just sent a substitute.
Although this is more due to rotational considerations, Piacenza still has to accept this love.
So after the game, the coach of Piacenza not only did not have the idea of winning the game, but he praised Perugia in a low-key manner and expressed his hope that Perugia will eventually win the Serie A championship.
Bruno didn't take this seriously. He had to rely on strength to win the championship, not the opponent's blessing, otherwise it would be too absurd.
After losing the game, Perugia naturally had no way to continue to sit at the top. Juventus and Bologna were more resilient than imagined, and they won one after another, and finally surpassed Perugia.
There is nothing surprising about this, after all, others leave no room for anything, and only Bruno's Perugia dares to play like this.
Look at Juventus, fighting on the third line, although the three fronts are pretty good, you can imagine how tired they are.
No matter how strong Juventus is, it is impossible for all superstars to sit on the bench. Moreover, in this era, it is difficult for a team to have substitutes in every position.
The league has to compete for the championship, the Champions League has to defend its title, and the Italian Cup has also reached the quarterfinals. It seems a pity to give up any one.
How can Lippi not be upset?
No matter how you look at the Italian Cup, the Italian Cup is the least valuable. If you have to make a choice, I am afraid anyone will choose to give up the Italian Cup.
Juventus has just had a big fight in the league and will compete in the Champions League next week. There is no need to fight the opponent to the Italian Cup against Perugia no matter how you look at it.
So in this case, Lippi chose a big rotation. Facing Perugia, Juventus sent a lineup mainly composed of substitutes and young players.
If you can win, you won, and if you can’t win, it’s nothing.
Perugia has all the main players. Even if Juventus' main lineup is here, it may not be said that he can defeat Perugia, let alone these bench players.
In this way, Perugia won a victory without any suspense and almost no consumption at home, and advanced to the Italian Cup semi-finals with his head held high.
After the game, Lippi congratulated Bruno, and at the same time, he also envied Bruno because it seems that Bruno's cards in his hand are not inferior to him at all.
If Juventus can bring in several players from Perugia during this winter transfer period, then Lippi dares to go hand in hand with three lines.
But unfortunately, if Perugia doesn't sell, they can't do anything. After all, Perugia and Juventus are not from the same faction, and Perugia and Rome seem to be getting closer.
When shaking hands, Bruno looked at Lippi with a strange look, as if full of doubt.
Don't you continue to send me cigars?
This is Bruno’s doubt!
If Lippi had known what Bruno was thinking, he would have gone wild long ago.
Do you still have some shame?
"This game is like this, but next time we meet, we won't continue to use the substitute lineup!" Lippi said to Bruno.
Lippi pointed to the second round of the league after two rounds of the game, Juventus and Perugia's second round of competition.
Bruno shrugged, smiled, but didn't say anything, because he felt it was a bit inhumane to say harsh words to an old man like Lippi.
You Juventus want to win, and we Perugia don’t want to lose.
It’s just a real sword and a gun that has been done, who is afraid of whom?
If you want to overturn Juventus' dominance over Serie A, you must not only surpass your opponent in the standings, but also defeat your opponent in a direct confrontation. This is the real king.
Otherwise, even if Perugia really wins the championship one day, if they fail to defeat their opponents in the two rounds of competition with Juventus, then the champion will probably be criticized for being insignificant, or rather, not well deserved.
Then, let’s wait and see!
......
Next, he returned to the Serie A. In the two rounds of competition, Perugia won one and tied one, scored four points, and continued to rank in the top three in the standings.
Drawing Samp and defeating Cagliari, although the attribute of robbing the rich and helping the poor was not exerted, it seemed that this was what a strong team should look like.
And just as Bruno led Perugia to prepare for the battle with Juventus, an exciting and good news came.
Perugia captain Nedved returned to the team after recovering from injury and can already practice with the team.
As soon as this news came out, everyone felt a little incredible because it was a bit inconsistent with medical common sense.
Nedved suffered injuries in the national team match in early November. His injuries were very serious. It is optimistic that a four-month recovery period is indispensable.
But it wasn't until three months before Nedved returned to the training ground. Is this a medical miracle?
Even Perugia's doctor shouted incredible.
However, Bruno knew very well that this should be the effect of the potion to speed up the recovery of injuries in the system store.
It can probably speed up the recovery speed by 1/4, which is already amazing enough.
Even if it is as strong as a system, it is impossible for players to jump around the next day after applying potion, which is suspicious.
And although everyone finds it incredible now, it is not enough to ask the bottom line after all.
Judging from Nedved's training status, his body should have fully recovered and his physical fitness is fine. The only thing that needs time to adjust is his condition.
There is no way, I haven't played the game for three months, so it's impossible to be super amazing as soon as I get started.
“How does it feel?”
After the training, Bruno pulled Nedved and sat on the sidelines.
"Very good, I feel full of strength, I can't wait to appear!"
Nedved made a rare and playful fitness posture and showed off his biceps.
"This is really good news, but I can't entrust you with an important task right away. I will let you come on as a substitute first, feel the atmosphere of the game, improve your condition bit by bit, and then gradually increase your playing time until you completely get back to your condition!"
Bruno nodded and said to Nedved in a friend's tone.
Nedved naturally understood this and would not feel like he was about to lose his main position.
"It's great that you can come back, so that our tactics can be complete, and I also hope that you can play the maximum role of spiritual leadership on the court, so that I can relax. Do you think I'm willing to give you chicken soup every time?"
Speaking of this, Bruno couldn't help laughing!
