The Vismara Sports Centre is not the property of AC Milan FC, it is actually owned by the Milan Municipal Axe.

The green space of the sports center has an area of 230,000 square meters and is dedicated to the memory of Jupese. To be honest, I don't know who this Mr. Vismara is, but to be able to name a sports center after him, I think it would be a great man.

The sports complex consists of 7 training grounds, 3 man-made standard fields including a running track, a standard playing field and 2 7-a-side man-made football pitches.

The office buildings are fully equipped, including an office headquarters, a meeting room for 300 people, a meeting room for 50 people, a bar, a restaurant, and even a chapel.

Before AC Milan took over the 10-year stewardship of Vismara, its functions even included sheltering troubled juveniles and providing religious educational assistance.

And our protagonist Descartes and his best friend Aginari are leaving the small city of Pavia for the first time, and they will of course be shocked to see a sports center of this size.

However, after the shock, they soon met this group of children who also came to participate in the trial under the leadership of the staff.

AC Milan's scouting system is huge, and although they have never been known for their youth system, their youth system is still very large, and every year, AC Milan's scouts compete with their local rivals for the best youth football seedlings in Lombardy, which is not spectacular, but it is related to the future of both clubs.

It's just a pity that Milan has never won Inter in the academy, even if their neighbors have been called the "star black hole" for more than ten years, but in the youth training alone, Inter can at least laugh at their neighbors.

Let's take a closer look at the players who came out of Facchetti's academy, the "Great Captain" Bergomi, the "Last Superstar of Italy" Andrea Pirlo, the "Thinker of Life" Balotelli, Bonucci, Thornton, Pandev, and further Martins, Paslaccua, Ferrari...... Although these players have not necessarily become superstars, they have at least become the backbone of Serie A, holding up the last sky of today's Serie A.

And what about the Milan academy where our protagonist will try out? Baresi, Maldini, Costacuta, Pesoto, Panucci, Otto, Albertini, Ambrosini, Toldo, Cudinic, then ......

Everyone has seen that Milan are all world-class defenders, but in midfield...... Sorry, you might want to say that there is Di Natale and there is Borriello, but I don't think anyone will put them on the same level as players like the horses.

If we just look at these names, we would think that the youth training of the two clubs is actually similar, right? But let's look at the date:

Maldini, born in 1969;

Baresi, born in 1960;

Costacuta, born in 1966;

Toldo, born in 1971;

……

Andrea Pirlo, born in 1979;

Balotelli, born in 1990;

Thornton, born in 1991;

……

Well, I think you've already understood that the Milan academy actually reached its peak of glory 20 years ago, and then, there was no more, but the Inter academy has been continuing to transfuse the team, and although a large part of them eventually left Inter, they are still the pillars of Serie A, compared to the decadent demeanor of Milan's twilight years, it can be regarded as in its prime, youth.

However, this situation is also easy to explain.

Milan's handicap is our fanatical little Lori Prime Minister Pei, an extremely intelligent speculator, the biggest reason he invested in Milan back then was not because of his love for Milan, but because he needed to use this tool to achieve his political goals.

After bringing Milan to the peak, Bei Bald also brought himself to the peak of his political career, since then, his life can be said to have no desires, except for the young girls Miaoman's figure, the former "lover" AC Milan, has been unable to set off a ripple in his heart.

Only when he needs to show up for publicity or create something to keep the momentum going will he show up at the San Siro for fans and cameras to catch him, as for the rest...... Well, he'll tell Carlo Ancelotti that it's a mistake to go with 4231 and that he should play double striker so their championship doesn't get snatched away by their city rivals.

Please, you brought in Ancelotti with an annual salary of 4.2 million euros, is it just to let him function as a microphone?

As Comrade Bei Bald pays less and less attention to AC Milan, and the situation of Milan is also declining, even the first team has to send away a large number of meritorious players in order to cut their salaries, not to mention their academy? It is estimated that Milan will not spend more than 2 million euros a year on youth training.

Some people want to say that 2 million euros is not a lot? The Chinese Football Association's annual investment in national youth training is only 2 million yuan, and it did not rise to 10 million until 2013, which is a country's youth investment for a whole year!

Well, the Chinese Football Association...... Shall we get around this topic?

Moving on to our Milan Academy.

The decline of the Milan academy has almost begun in the 21st century, so the time when our protagonist enters the Milan academy should be regarded as the last afterglow of the academy of this club with a glorious history.

Because the year is 2000, there is no Milan laboratory at this time, and the protagonist is just led by the staff, and the children who came with them for the trial are lined up at the Vismara Medical Center for a medical check-up, and then they are taken to the largest training ground in the sports center.

On the edge of the training ground stood a handsome middle-aged handsome man, wearing a neat suit, accompanied by two staff members, quietly observing these teenagers who came in line.

After all the children gathered, the handsome middle-aged man calmly tidied up his tie and said loudly: "Welcome to the Milan Academy, children, I will be your future director and coach, first introduce myself, my name is Alberigo. Evani, I think you know me, right? ”

There was an exclamation from the group of children, Alberigo. Evani, a former AC Milan player, was Milan's merit and loyalty, and in the darkest years of AC Milan's two relegations, he and the "greatest No. 6" Baresi, Costa Curta were among the few players who never left Milan, he played 296 league games for AC Milan, scored 14 goals, and scored three goals for Milan in the three major European cups.

His loyalty and quality impressed the Milan management, and after retiring from Carrara in the 97-98 season, Milan brought him back to Wismara, giving him the responsibility of head of youth training in the Under-15 team, and he also served as the head coach of the Under-15 team, responsible for the development of the most established group of red and black blood.

After a brief introduction to himself, Evani quickly divided the children into two groups and organized a training match.

He needs to watch the performance of this group of teenagers in training matches so that he can pick out the best of them to join the Milan Academy and inject more quality blood into the Rossoneri's first team.

A total of 32 teenagers came to participate in the trial, probably between the ages of 9 and 13, although there are some physical differences, but the technical strength has not yet been determined, and some things can also be seen in the training match.

Descartes and his nemesis Aguinari were placed on the same team, and luckily for both of them were starters and could prioritize their talents in front of Mr. Evani.

Descartes is confident in his game, and in his opinion, he is one of the best players in Pavia, who has been described by Pavia's head of youth as "unable to improve in Pavia".

But when he actually got to the football field, he realized that compared to the children around him, he was not top-notch at all, and even worse in physical fitness.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand this, these teenagers are the top students in various cities in the Lombardy region, some of them are outstanding in technology, some are amazing in speed, at least they are the type with equal emphasis on consciousness and physical fitness, otherwise they would not have been invited by the Milan Academy to participate in this trial.

And our protagonist, his speed is not the fastest, his technique is not the most fancy, and even his shortcoming-physical strength, has become the biggest problem that drags him down, after running like crazy for twenty or thirty minutes with these red-eyed teenagers, he has begun to feel a little tired physically, and even the technical movements began to make mistakes, and once stopped the ball, he even stopped the ball directly at the opponent's feet.

And all this fell into the eyes of Mr. Evani, who had been silently observing them next to him.

While watching the children run desperately on the field, Evani discussed something with the staff around him, and from time to time he wrote and drew in the notebook in his hand.

This group of children all know that this book is a record of their performance of the "life and death book", in a sense, the things recorded in this book are likely to become the most important information to change their lives.

Unbeknownst to Descartes, Evani was now discussing his performance with his assistants.

"What do you think of the RED team striker? His technique looks good. ”

"Yes coach, his skills are not bad, for his age, he should be one of the best players at this stage, but his physical strength seems to be very problematic, he has only played for less than 30 minutes, he can't run, I think ......"

"Hey Andy, he's only 10 years old, we can work on it slowly because of the physical problem, but I think his awareness is really good, you see, every time he runs is very timely, if his teammates have a little more tacit understanding with him, the red team should be a few goals ahead by now."

"You're talking about a good coach, but at this age there are not many good seedlings like him, he may just be a little precocious than other children, the key to the problem is his physical fitness, you see, he is not fast, his body is also very thin, if the opponent's pressing is a little more ferocious he will lose the ball, according to my experience, such a player usually does not have a big future after becoming a professional player."

"Okay Andy, what you said may have a point, we'll have to wait a little longer."

While Evani and his assistant were discussing the performance of the children on the field, a medical center staff member approached with a stack of papers, which were the children's medical reports.

Evani took the information and checked it, and when he turned to Descartes's physical examination report, he suddenly froze, and then waved Descartes over, looking at his immature face, Evani said with a low face: "Child, I have unfortunate news to tell you, according to the medical examination report, you may have some physical problems, and you may have to give up the dream of becoming a professional football player." ”
