Chapter 1: The Love of the Heart
Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.
It's true in the world, and it's true in football.
On the 15th day of July in the 200th year, this day was firmly remembered by the generation of football tycoon Florentino on his throne, and since then Real Mara has started the era of "Galaxy Battleship" with a superstar every year.
With the arrival of Figo, Beckham, Owen, Zidane and other famous players in football at that time, people thought that this would be a sign of the unification of the world, and world football was reduced to a stage for the performance of masters.
However, some people have put forward a different opinion, this is Real Madrid's eternal enemy Barcelona.
In order to counter Real Madrid's superstar policy, Barcelona invited the same world-famous "black swan" Rijkaard, and introduced Ronaldinho, Gyuli, Deco, Larsson, Toure and a large number of young or practical stars, which also formed a more famous "Dream Team" in the future.
The confrontation between the "Galaxy Battleship" and the "Dream Second Team" became the focus of attention in football in those years, and it also made the Western Super League gradually begin to become an "interstellar confrontation" outside the Earth Professional League.
This kind of confrontation has continued until the "Galaxy Second Generation" and "Dream Third Team" in the future, if nothing else, there will definitely be a confrontation between the "Galaxy Third Generation" and the "Dream Fourth Team", and such a sequel will continue to be interpreted.
And what we're talking about has nothing to do with our story for the time being.
The next thing we are going to talk about is a small place in Italian football, located in Pavia, a small town in the Lombardy region of Italy.
It is indeed a small city, covering an area of only 80,000 square kilometers and with a population of only 71,486 people.
However, it is located in the industrial triangle of Italy's most industrially developed area, with a highly educated population and a beautiful natural environment.
And there was a famous person here, and that was the volt that invented the battery. Yes, you read that right, not Ford . Fox is the volt that is often used as a unit of measurement.
But other than that, there have been no celebrities in Pavia. Compared to their neighbor, the famous Milan, Pavia, although it was also the capital of the Lombardy region, is obviously too small.
Similarly, compared to Milan's two famous Serie A football teams, Pavia's team named after the city is even more famous. They are perennially in Serie C, and it is Serie C second division.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to first introduce you to the system of the Italian third league.
The Italian Serie C is further divided into two leagues, which are the first division and the second division, also known as the SerieC1 and Seriec2 leagues.
Before 2008, there was only one group of 18 teams in the first division of the Italian third division, and the promotion and relegation adopted the system of two promotions and three relegations, with the first place directly promoted to the second division, and the 2-5 places competed for promotion places through the play-offs.
The second division of the third division is divided into two regions, one with 20 teams and the other with 21 teams. The top teams from the two divisions are promoted to Division 1, while the remaining two divisions with three to six finishers compete in the play-offs to determine the final promotion spot.
Therefore, the two-tier league mechanism of the Italian third division corresponds to the third and fourth leagues in the league system, and after that, the D league, and the amateur league.
Therefore, Pavia is definitely not a strong team in Italian football, at most it is just an obscure little miscellaneous fish.
They have never been promoted to Serie A, and they have never even touched the threshold of Serie B. Their best moment was a 11th-place finish in Serie A, and that came in the distant 1971-72 season.
Since then, they have continued to sink, and their football team is so inconspicuous compared to the university in Pavia, which claims to have the second oldest history in Italy.
Tragically, Pavia also has one of the best women's volleyball teams in Italy, although this team has never won the Italian Women's Volleyball League, they have always been regular players in the Italian Women's Volleyball A1 League, at least compared to the Pavia Men's Football Club, the women's volleyball girls have much better results.
So in the small city of Pavia, the Pavia Men's Football Club is quite a tragic existence, which has never been watched, and can only grow silently and tenaciously.
But even that didn't stop the city from having a group of football-loving fans, and despite Pavia's poor football team, there were still many fans who supported him with all their hearts.
One of our protagonists is a diehard member of this team.
The protagonist's father, Javier. Mr. Mondillo, a physical education teacher at the University of Pavia, is a die-hard football fan himself, and is a native of 10 generations of solo travelers. Mr. Mondillo has been a fan of Pavia FC since he was a child, and this love has never been overcome.
Under the influence of our father, our protagonist Descartes. Mondillo is also a die-hard member of Pavia Football Club, and even under the influence of his father, he joined the youth training system of Pavia Football Club from an early age and became a member of Pavia Football Club.
It's just that today our protagonist Descartes. Mondillo was in a sweet trouble.
The origin of the matter came from the neighbor of the city of Pavia, the city of Milan.
As we all know, Milan City has two famous football clubs, AC Milan, which later became the "Milan City Waste Recycling and Reprocessing Energy and Environmental Protection Group", and their sworn enemy Inter Milan, the "star black hole" in the early years.
These two teams have attracted the attention of almost all fans in Lombardy, and they also have a monopoly on most of the region's football resources, and the search for young players with potential is what they have been working tirelessly on.
The young players in Africa will not let go of these two teams, let alone the small city of Pavia, which is close at hand?
Over the years, Pavia has never produced any football stars, and it must be said that the efforts of the two Milan teams to dig into the corners since they were children are definitely the biggest reason, and there is no one.
On the contrary, in order to obtain the right to loan players from the two clubs, they had to obediently introduce the excellent youth football seedlings cultivated by their teams to the two big clubs, let them choose the best of them, and then leave a little scrap for themselves.
And our protagonist Descartes. Mondillo is one of these outstanding youth seedlings. Despite being only 10 years old, his skill and awareness are already outstanding among his peers, and his coach, Mr. Mancald, the youth director of Pavia, introduced him to AC Milan despite his reluctance, telling Descartes: "With your talent, staying in Pavia will no longer make you progress, you need a bigger stage, and the city of Milan can provide you with that stage." Do a good job and don't let me down. ”
Although Descartes also understands that Pavia is not a suitable place for him to grow up, as a die-hard fan, he is also reluctant to give up on this place, and he has already had a deep affection for this place since he was a child.
So his heart has been in a state of contradiction for a while now.
Coming back to the beginning of the topic, the 15th day of the seventh month of the 2000th year is a memorable date, not only because of Florentillo's rise to power, but also because it is the date when our protagonist Descartes made his final decision.
It wasn't his family who helped him make up his mind, but his good friend, Aguinari, who was also his best friend in football at Pavia. Rosie.
The conversation between the two sounds like a youth inspirational blockbuster.
"Aggie, I don't want to go to Milan, I want to stay in Pavia and help them all the way to Serie A and make Pavia the best team in all of Italy."
"No problem Descartes, I've got your back, but can we do it?"
"Absolutely, why did Milan send us to a trial? It's because we're good enough, Aggie, and you have to have confidence in our strength. ”
"Of course I have confidence in Descartes, but I've heard that Milan's youth system is a hundred times better than Pavia's, and if we miss such an opportunity, I'm afraid we will regret it for the rest of our lives."
"How can you think of Aggie like that? You're still not Pavia's die-hard loyalist? Is it because Pavia's youth system is not as good as Milan's, that we are going to betray our beliefs? Aggie, I'm so disappointed in you! ”
"No, Deska, listen to me, I think so, we can go to Milan for training and then come back when we get stronger and then come back to help Pavia get promoted to the first division, wouldn't it be better? Even Mr. Mankaard said that even if we continue to train in Pavia, we can't improve, we should go to Milan and maybe we can get better opportunities and become stronger, right? ”
"You have a point...... Hey, Aggie, how have you become smart today, these words are impossible to say with your wisdom. ”
"Uh...... Descartes, you hate it, why do you say it so clearly? Well, I'll admit, that's what Ann taught me and she'd love to let you go to Milan for a tryout. ”
"Angeli? That little girl is so annoying, she points fingers at me all day long, and if it weren't for the fact that her father and my father are colleagues, I would never have let her follow my ass every day. ”
"Deska, you don't know how to be emotional, and if Ann Jieli is willing to follow my ass all day, I won't be happy. She's the angel of Pavia, and you know what, at least half of the boys in school like her. ”
"Okay, okay, we're talking about Milan, why did it get to that little girl again. Aggie, you're right, we should go to Milan and work out ourselves and then come back to play for Pavia, then we will be the best players in Pavia, haha, we will definitely be the best stars in the history of Pavia! ”
"You're right Deska, let's go learn our skills first and then come back and play for the team, we are the strongest duo in the history of the Pavia football team!"
So two teenagers with dreams stepped on the car to the city of Milan, a distance of thirty miles, but with the big ambition in the heart of the little boy.
The Milan Academy is not based in the famous Milanello, but in the Vismara Sports Centre, which is located in the south of the city of Milan, close to the Grato Sorio region, and is one of the most important football venues in the city.
When the two teenagers set foot on the Wismara Sports Center under the guidance of the staff, their hearts welled up with a long sigh.
