Chapter 173 Ned Returns
Piacenza won and they are very grateful to Perugia.

In Serie A, no team can be so friendly to the middle and lower reaches of the team.

It's not that Perugia can't win. As long as the main lineup plays, they still have a great chance to win, but they just sent a substitute lineup.

Although this is more due to rotation considerations, Piacenza still has to accept it.

So after the game, the Piacenza coach not only didn't feel arrogant because of winning, but he praised Perugia in a very low-key manner, and expressed his hope that Perugia would eventually win the Serie A championship.

In this regard, Bruno didn't take it to heart. Winning the championship depends on strength, not the blessing of the opponent, otherwise it would be too absurd.

After losing the game, Perugia naturally has no way to continue to sit at the top of the list. Juventus and Bologna are beyond imagination, winning consecutive victories, and finally surpassing Perugia.

This is no surprise, after all, others are relentless, only Bruno's Perugia dares to play like this.

Look at Juventus, fighting on three fronts, although the results on all three fronts are not bad, but you can imagine how tired they are.

No matter how strong Juventus is, it is impossible to have superstars on the bench, and in this era, it is difficult for a team to have a substitute in every position.

The league has to compete for the championship, the Champions League has to fight to defend the title, and the Coppa Italia has also entered the quarter-finals. It seems a pity to give up any of them.

Can Lippi be upset?

Of the three events, the Coppa Italia is the least valuable in any way. If a trade-off has to be made, I am afraid that anyone will choose to give up the Coppa Italia.

Juventus has just played a battle in the league, and next week they will compete in the Champions League. In this Coppa Italia and Perugia contest, no matter how you look at it, there is no need to die with your opponent.

So in such a situation, Lippi chose a big rotation. Facing Perugia, Juventus sent a lineup mainly composed of substitute players and young players.

If you can win, you win, if you can't win, it's okay.

And Perugia's main force is here. Even if Juventus's main lineup is here, they may not dare to say that they can win Perugia, let alone these bench players.

In this way, Perugia won a victory without any suspense and almost no consumption at his home court, and advanced to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Lippi congratulated Bruno after the game. At the same time, he was also very envious of Bruno, because it seems that Bruno's cards are not inferior to him at all.

If Juventus can introduce several players from Perugia during this winter transfer period, then Lippi dares to advance in three lines.

But it is a pity that Perugia does not sell, and they have nothing to do. After all, Perugia and Juventus are not in the same faction. Perugia and Rome seem to be closer.

When shaking hands, Bruno also looked at Lippi strangely, as if full of doubts.

Don't you keep giving me cigars?
This is Bruno's doubts!
If Lippi knew what Bruno was thinking, he might have gone berserk long ago.

You still have to show your face!

"That's it for this game, but next time we meet, we won't continue to use the substitute lineup!" Lippi said to Bruno.

Lippi refers to the second round of the league between Juventus and Perugia after two rounds of competition.

Bruno shrugged and smiled, but didn't speak, because he felt that it was inhumane to speak harshly to an old man like Lippi.

You Juventus want to win, and we in Perugia don't want to lose either.

It's nothing more than a real sword and gun, who is afraid of whom?
If you want to overthrow Juventus' domination of 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 beat their opponents in the two rounds with Juventus, then this championship may be complained about its lack of gold content, or in other words, it does not deserve it.

So, just wait and see!
Then back to Serie A, in the two rounds of competition, Perugia won one and drew one, scored four points, and continued to rank among the top three in the standings.

Tied with Samp and defeated Cagliari, although the attributes of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor did not play out, it seems that this is what a strong team should look like.

But when Bruno led Perugia to prepare for the battle with Juventus, an exciting piece of good news came.

Perugia captain Pavel Nedved returned from injury and can already practice with the team.

As soon as the news came out, everyone felt a little unbelievable, because it didn't conform to medical common sense.

Nedved was injured in the national team match in early November. The injury was very serious. It is optimistically estimated that a recovery period of 11 months is indispensable.

But now less than 3 months, Nedved returned to the training ground, is this a medical miracle?

Even the doctors in Perugia chanted inconceivably.

However, Bruno knew very well that this should be the function of the quick recovery potion in the system store.

It can probably speed up the recovery speed by 1/4, which is already against the sky.

Even if it is as strong as the system, it is impossible for the players to be alive and kicking the next day after applying the potion, that would be suspicious.

Now, although everyone finds it unbelievable, it is not necessary to get to the bottom of it after all.

Judging from Nedved's training situation, his body should have fully recovered, and his physical fitness is fine. The only thing that needs time to adjust is his state.

There's no way, I haven't played a game for three months, so it's impossible to be super god right away.

"How does it feel?"

After training, Bruno took Nedved to the sidelines.

"Very good, I feel full of strength, I can't wait to play!"

Nedved made a rare and playful fitness pose, showing his biceps.

"This is really good news, but I can't entrust you with important tasks right away. I will let you come off the bench first, feel the atmosphere of the game, improve your state bit by bit, and then gradually increase your playing time until you Fully recovered!"

Bruno nodded, and said to Nedved in a friendly tone.

Nedved naturally understands this, and he doesn't feel that he is about to lose his main position.

"It's great that you can come back, so that our tactics can become complete, and I also hope that you can play the role of spiritual leader to the greatest extent on the court, so that I can relax a little bit, you think I would like to give you guys every time chicken soup?"

Having said that, Bruno couldn't help laughing!

This is true. Sometimes an excellent captain and spiritual leader can be worth half of the head coach. If the head coach is always needed to boost morale like a monkey on the sidelines, it can only be said that the captain is not qualified.
