Chapter 145: Youth Team

'It's very common for players to leave the pitch with an injury in a game, but it's rare for a starting striker to leave the pitch with an injury and a substitute striker to go off with an injury and get more serious, as happened last night in the Champions League final between Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven. "Sports news is playing on the bar on the TV.

As soon as the TV screen turned, the screen appeared in the video of the match between Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven last night, which was the picture of Cassano being injured and being carried out on a stretcher, and then, what appeared in the camera was the face of Inter Milan coach Li Ang's iron green, and he also kicked the mineral water bottle at his feet, looking at the posture It seemed that he couldn't help but rush into the field to fight.

Then came the picture of the post-match press conference, in which Leon said in a very sarcastic tone: "PSV Eindhoven players all had a gold medal today, no matter how bad their actions were, the referee seemed blind at that moment...... Oooh, and is our referee from the Society for the Protection of Weak Animals?"

The picture changed, and the face of the news program host appeared, "I bet UEFA will not like Coach Leon's remarks, of course, his big mouth is not a day or two, PSV Eindhoven has protested for the first time after the game, of course, Inter Milan FC also appealed the referee's decision after the game." ”

"I can totally understand Coach Leon's anger. "In the league against Napoli at the weekend, injuries to Sergio Aguero and Cassano, coupled with Adriano's suspension in the league, he only has one striker available, and it is impossible to even force two strikers. ”

"Damn the Eindhovenians. ”

"Damn the referee!"

In the bar, Inter Milan fans cursed indignantly.

Fans know their team situation best, as the guest of the show said, Inter Milan is now in a striker crisis, only Diego Milito is a striker, in this case, once Diego Milito is in poor form or even injured in the game, there is no substitute striker.

"Inter Milan and Napoli are in a difficult situation in the league and are likely to suffer their first defeat of the season. The words of another live guest were heard on TV, which caused a wave of scolding in the bar.

"Die!"

"Shut up!"

"How could we lose to Napoli. ”

"But it's not going to be good for the team right now. Someone whispered.

In this case, we can only see what Li can do. An Inter Milan fan sighed.

"Lee is not God, he can still conjure a striker. Someone said in frustration.

***********

The Pinenati training base, the following training ground for Inter Milan's 19-year-old team.

Inter Milan's under-19 team has been in impressive form this year, beating Sampdoria 1-0 in last season's Youth League final that ended this summer to claim their sixth Under-19 league title, also known as the Giachimto Facchetti Cup. The first five were in 1963/64, 1965/66, 1968/69, 1988/89 and 2001/02. After the victory, Giaccinto Facchetti's son, Luca Facchetti, presented the winners to the Inter Milan youth team players.

The head coach of the under-19 team, Vincenzo Esposito, has also been praised by some Italian media as promising to coach Inter Milan in the future. Of course, the media also said that with Li Ang's coaching performance and age, as long as Li Ang does not take the initiative to leave Inter Milan, others want to take over.

"Say, what did you two just do, why don't you train hard?" Vincenzo Esposito reprimanded his player with anger on his face.

Mario Balotelli and Francesco Borzzoni were fighting while the team was practicing laps, and the two boys had a heated verbal altercation.

Francesco Borzzoni glanced at the manager, his expression a little frightened, and a hint of sadness.

Mario Balotelli, on the other hand, looked indifferent, and when he saw Borzoni's sad and angry expression, he actually laughed out loud.

"Francisco, you say. Vincenzo Esposito said.

"It's Mario, he added something to my body wash. Francesco Borzoni gritted his teeth and looked at Balotelli as he spoke.

"Is that so? Mario. Vincenzo Esposito looked at Balotelli, he had a real headache, the youth coach was not only responsible for training and games, but also for all this mess, he was like a babysitter for these kids.

Balotelli is the youngest of his squad, but, when it comes to footballing talent, the black kid is the most talented.

However, Balotelli's eccentric personality really caused Vincenzo Esposito a real headache.

Sometimes, Vincenzo Esposito was so angry that he wanted to expel the kid from the team, but he cherished Balotelli's football talent and pity for the boy's background, and finally chose to tolerate.

***********

On August 12, 1990, Balotelli was born in Palermo, Italy, he is the son of immigrants from Ghana, the economic conditions of his biological parents are very poor, Balotelli suddenly fell seriously ill when he was two years old, and the poor little one was abandoned by his biological parents in the hospital and became an outcast.

Later, Balotelli was adopted by the Francis Balotelli family. The adoptive parents' family treated Balotelli very much and regarded it as their own, and it can be seen from this experience that without the adoptive parents, Ba Shen's fate could be very miserable. Subsequently, Balotelli changed his surname and is now fighting for Italian citizenship.

I don't know if it's because of the tragic experience when he was a child, or if this kid was born with a different brain circuit than others, anyway, Balotelli always had problems in Pinenati. Of course, this kid is not bad in nature, but there is something 'unusual'.

In the face of the manager's questioning, Mario Balotelli did not have the slightest awareness of what he had done wrong, but looked proud as if he had done a good deed, "Yes, sir, I saw that Francesco's shower gel was running out, so I added some to him." ”

"That's good. Vincenzo Esposito was surprised, the kid seemed to have done something good this time, and then he looked at Francesco Borzzoni, there was nothing wrong with it.

"He's adding mustard oil!" said Francesco Borzoni through gritted teeth, his dan-dan still sore and worried about whether his function would be affected.
