"Hah! Santy! You're here, come here! When Santhiago changed into his jersey and shoes and just stepped onto the training ground, Riquelme, who had already looked here a few times, immediately greeted him warmly.

Riquelme had been extremely bored this morning, and when some of the players had not yet returned to the team, there were only a few players who played in La Liga who could talk to him happily on this training ground, except for Monzon, who also played for Boca Juniors. There is no way, even if he is a big brother in the national team, he is even more so in the national Olympic team, and some newcomers who have not been selected for the national team look at him with great admiration, although this kind of respect makes him very useful, but at the same time, it also makes him a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, when he saw the arrival of Saint-Tiago, he immediately showed his enthusiasm.

"Hey, Romy! Your sneakers are so good, they're cool! As soon as he walked in, Santiago's eyes lit up, and I have to say that the boots under Riquelme's feet were really very stylish at this time, needless to say, there must be a sponsor who came to the door with a shy face! Sure enough, after glancing at Riquelme's expression, Santilgo immediately confirmed his thoughts, and immediately rushed to another player to give a bear hug before he could show off his own player, who no longer had a shoe sponsor:

"David, you miss me! Brother, I'm back! How are you doing in Valencia? No, don't talk yet, I'll smell it! Oh, you've got to be doing well, your mouth is full of lemon, and it smells like you're used to it! “

"O God, Holy Ty! What makes you so energetic, let me guess, you must have rested early last night! “

Friends always meet with malicious ridicule, if you have to find someone in Argentina worthy of the title of Santiago's best friend, then it must be Banega! Banega, who is two years younger than Santiago, has almost the same trajectory as Santigo, but Banega is much more bumpy in comparison.

After showing his talent as a child, despite playing from junior to youth first, he was never taken seriously by Newell's Old Boys Club, so the stubborn prodigy decided to try his luck at Boca Juniors, a poor man's club in Buenos Aires, 300 kilometres from home. What I didn't expect was that the east was not bright and the west was bright, and as soon as I arrived at the candy box, Banega was photographed and got the youth manager Hugo. Tokari's call-up and the appreciation of former Boca coach Basile, it was at that time that Banega got acquainted with San Tiago, who had just entered the first team of Boca, and since then he has embarked on the road of no return.

We go on to say that Banega has won the praise of his teammates since his debut, has a variety of scoring ability and can play both offensively and defensively, so he joined the Bats for 18 million euros in January this year, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract to start a new chapter in his career. From Boca Juniors to moving to European clubs, most people may have such a script, but the reason why it is not so different from Santhiago is that the two immediately discovered a common hobby after they met, and it seems that Banega is even crazier than Santi.

After helping Argentina win the World Youth Championship last year in 2007, Banega once took the lead in smashing a bar after getting drunk, and was once revealed to have prostituted with his roommates... And that roommate ...... And on the second day of joining Valen this year, a video website in Argentina exposed Banega's video, which caused an uproar after the video was broadcast, Banega was very embarrassed, and the new owner Valencia also began to lose trust in him.

Of course, this kind of exhibitionism Saint Tiago didn't like it, he was also stunned when he saw this video, he didn't know that Banega still liked this kid, and he also played selfies, this is just too showy!

It's fair to say that Santhiago and Banega are two of the craziest of Argentine youth players, and it's a headache that nothing good happens when they get together. However, at this moment, San Tiago has already made up his mind to change his past, and after hearing Banega's words, he looked very embarrassed and touched his nose and said, "Damn! Shut your mouth, David, do you want the world to know that Valencia is rich in lemons? “

"Hey, I've got you covered with a lot of dirt! Special! Give birth! This! Santy! Banega didn't care about Santiago's teasing, and said with a wink.

After exchanging sarcasm with his friends, Santhiago then greeted the other players, and almost all of the players who were more friendly to him were Boca Juniors, while the average attitude was someone like Di Maria who had played against him and had a good sense, and there were almost no who were indifferent to him in the end. After all, although Saint-Thiago is scolded every day at AC Milan, there is nothing wrong with him except for his love of play.

Santhiago also commented on his previous evaluation, whether in China or after coming to this body, he had almost never played unbridled, so after a small success and being praised by others, he played without scruples.

"Yes gentlemen! Let's put the pleasantries aside, now let's start training, and then let's have a match and see how you are doing! When Santhiago greeted the players of the national Olympic team, coach Batista had already walked behind everyone and said solemnly, especially when he read the last few words, he strengthened his tone and glanced at Santiago.

The players knew who this match was for to test everyone's state, and after looking at each other, no one said anything about it, so everyone quickly dispersed and started training under the leadership of the assistant coach. In the second half of the season, Santiago had become aware of his problems, but unfortunately by that time he had lost the trust of the Milan club and Carlo Ancelotti, and in this situation Santiago could only continue to train every day and try to maintain his sense of the ball.

He knows his strengths better than anyone else, and as long as he is still young, he can do it all over again as long as he is responsible for himself!

The forty minutes of warm-up training passed quickly, and everyone knew that the focus of the day was coming. Under the direction of the assistant coach, the players were divided into two teams of nine men each, which means that there were only eight men in each team except for the goalkeeper, which was just enough to meet a 3-3-2 formation, with Riquelme in the red midfield and Sousa in the yellow midfield, led by Santiago and Banega.

Coach Batista's intention is very obvious, he wants to observe two points through such a grouping: one: regardless of Sosa's nervousness and lack of confidence in the competition, now he wants to see if Sosa can take on the task of sorting out and connecting the team's front, midfield and backfield under the light of Riquelme; Two: Can Santilago take charge of the role of the team commander alone, and Banega, a midfielder with strong offensive ability, strong ball protection ability, and a penchant for sticky balls, is the best weather vane in this game.

"Can you do it? Santiago! “

Looking at the players from both sides who were standing in positions and waiting for kick-off, Batista couldn't help but think as he stared at Santhiago, who was communicating with Banega in a low voice.

The start of the game was very simple and dull, the red side that opened the ball was constantly doing the middle and back feet and did not immediately launch an attack, while the players on the yellow side were naturally happy with this situation, and the players on both sides were making a short adaptation. Most of the players on the red side play in La Liga, and they are more adapted to each other's styles, while on the contrary, the yellow side is varied, such as the Eredivisie, the Portuguese Super League, the A-League and even Serie A, and Battista is a deliberate test of Santiago's ability.

San Tiago himself was well aware of this, and when he saw that the red side was doing inverted feet, he took this opportunity to quickly analyze it.

Most of the players on the red side come from La Liga and Serie A, although they play in ordinary clubs and look inferior to the players who play for the giants, but in fact, in today's young generation, except for Messi, Aguero and others, it is difficult to have the opportunity to play the real main force in the giants, Sosa is the best example, so these players are actually more experienced in the top league, which can be seen from the state when they are down.

However, the style of playing more slowly changed, La Liga focuses on technique, passing and control, but the physical confrontation is not strong, and the pace is not fast, especially when the players are from different clubs, it is difficult for them to form a systematic defensive system, in this situation its waist is extremely important. But unfortunately, in the absence of a better choice, the red side can only play the back of the Sevilla FC Fazio, how to say, this is a more modest player.

Santhiago didn't think he could take on this important responsibility, so it stands to reason that the best choice for this position would be Gago, but unfortunately Redondo II is still at Real Madrid!
