The world-renowned final between Mexico and Italy was scheduled at the National Stadium in Lima, Peru.

On May 24, 1964, Peruvian fans clashed with police during an Olympic soccer qualifier at the stadium, killing 364 people and injuring more than 1,000.

The violence was the deadliest tragedy in the history of football, far more casualty than the more famous Heysel tragedy, but it was not mentioned because the venue was not the centre of the game.

After this tragedy, the Peruvian political axe also made up its mind to vigorously rectify the violence on the field, and their decades of perseverance finally paid off, in the competition for the qualification of the World Junior Championships, they were able to defeat Uruguay, Argentina and other football powers because of public security, and successfully won more than half of the votes.

The National Stadium in Lima has been renovated and turned into a fairly modern stadium, with seats rising from 40,000 to 70,000, a semi-automatic retractable roof, and natural turf with more than 1,400 water jets and an excellent drainage system, comparable to the Wembley Stadium in England.

When the Italian and Mexican teams walked out of the stadium to warm up, they found that the entire stadium was packed with enthusiastic fans, although a large number of these fans were neutral fans, but this did not affect their enthusiasm for watching the game.

Both teams have some of the most up-and-coming stars at the World Junior Championships, and when they came out, they drew cheers from the tsunami squad on the pitch.

When Descartes came on the pitch, as the best player in the tournament, he was naturally warmly welcomed by the fans. For the first time in his life, Descartes saw 20,000 people cheering for the team, but at this moment, there were at least more than 70,000 people cheering for him alone, and he instantly felt a surge of blood on the top of his head, and even his skin felt numb.

That's what it's like to be a star!

For the first time, Descartes realised how small the world he had been, and although the Pavia club had about 5,000 fans every game, it was a senior game, and it was not easy for the youth team to have more than 1,000 fans cheering on them.

Even if he has seen thousands or even tens of thousands of fans away from home, but after all, he is cheering for the opposing team, and he has nothing to do with himself, and he is still his enemy, so he has never felt that it is such an exciting feeling that there are so many people cheering for him.

At this moment, pride and ambition came to his heart together, and all hardships and hardships were left behind, as if he was the god on the football field, and everyone fell for him.

Descartes knew that at this moment, he had become obsessed with this feeling, and from now on, the small court of the Pavia Club might no longer be able to satisfy him, and he needed a bigger stage, a stage as big as today, so that the world would know him and let the whole world worship him!

With a stirring mood, Descartes was very active in the warm-up, and his good condition fell on Mr. Rocca's eyes, which made Mr. Roca happy, if it weren't for the fact that Descartes' physical strength has always been a hidden danger, Mr. Roca would have liked to replace Descartes in the first minute of the game.

With Descartes' performance getting better and better, he has completely established himself as the core of the Italian national junior team, and the Italian team has been completely reduced to the second place in the Pavia junior team, and with or without Descartes on the field, their performance is absolutely worlds apart.

And his excited performance was also seen by his opponent Mexico.

In the Mexican team, there are also two players who are very concerned about Descartes, that is, their pair of "twin stars" Vela and Doss, who have performed very well in this World Junior Championship. Santos.

The same young fame, the same young talent, the two Mexican players will certainly have a kind of comparison with Descartes. In fact, Vela has scored five goals at this World Junior Championship and, if nothing else, he has lifted the Golden Boot trophy with one hand. Santos also scored three goals, so the two certainly have the right to be unconvinced by Descartes.

It's just that Vela has been confirmed to be recruited by Arsenal, and they also learned that Arsenal offered Descartes £5 million. Santos, however, made no secret of his hostility towards Descartes.

"I'm going to tell the Italians why we're the most attacking team in this tournament." This is Doss. Santos also expressed his willingness to challenge Descartes in his pre-match media interview: "I know Italy's number 20 is doing very well, but I think I'm better than him and I'm going to prove that to you in this game. ”

For Doss. Santos's provocation, of course, the media will not let go of the opportunity to provoke Descartes with this question, but Descartes is very indifferent to this: "I think everyone has the right to feel the best, because this is his confidence, but who is the best of the best, we can see after the game." ”

Although this sentence is not angry, it hides a needle in the middle, and it is the true meaning of dealing with the media.

That's another thing Descartes learned during his five-year career as a star. There are no angry words, but there is a stronger self-confidence.

Naturally, this sentence was spread to Doss by the media. Santos in the ear, Doss. Santos smiled coldly at this, he thought that Descartes had already taken his battle book, so in the pre-match warm-up, he paid close attention to Descartes.

Seeing Descartes playing a couple of tricks with a soccer ball at his feet, Doss. Santos said unhappily to Bella beside him: "Look at that guy, he will only play some tricks here to please the audience, we must let him see how good we are later." ”

Vela laughed: "It is said that he only plays in the second half of every game, so I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while. ”

"Hmph, play a big name!" Doss. When Santos heard that he would have to wait 45 minutes, he was even more upset, and directly named Descartes' behavior as a pretend.

Bella pursed her lips and shook her head. Santos's surname is like this, impulsive and fiery, and he never pretends to be a color for things that he is not used to. In fact, when it comes to personal technology, Doss. Santos is a little better than himself, but it is precisely because he is so straight and not very popular with the team that his teammates are more willing to pass the ball for him.

In this tournament, he scored 5 goals. Santos only scored three, definitely not because he was really better than him, but purely because he received more support from his teammates.

If his surname can't be smoother, I'm afraid his future road will be much more difficult than his own.

Doss. Santos, of course, didn't know about his good partner's mental activity, he quickly slipped back to the locker room after the warm-up, and then shouted to his teammates who came in later: "Hey, brothers, today we must work harder, let those Italians taste our awesomeness, especially the No. 20, we must not give him a chance today, we must make him understand that he was so well touted by the media before, just because he didn't meet us!" ”

Although his words are very encouraging, but the boss style revealed between the lines makes the Mexican players secretly unhappy, you know, the captain of the Mexican team is their No. 6 Espisa, the captain has not spoken, this guy has already spoken first, for the players who pay great attention to the rules of the locker room, this is obviously a bit of a suspicion of arrogance.

Doss. Santos was unaware of his own problem, and in the face of his longing eyes, the Mexican players nodded one after another, although they felt a little uncomfortable. After all, although his behavior is somewhat unreasonable, his words are not wrong, the Mexican team and the Italian team will fight to the death later, and of course they can't give the enemy a good look.

And in Doss. At the time of Santos's speech, Italy was also in the midst of a pre-war push for the war.

However, it was their head coach Mr. Roca who spoke for the Italian team, and the players certainly did not have any complaints about it.

"Boys, your performance in this competition is fantastic, it has exceeded my imagination, I am very proud of you!" Mr. Rocca was clearly prepared for the speech, and he began by praising his young players, which went a long way towards boosting morale.

Then he began to agitate his three-inch tongue: "Now we are only 90 minutes away from the championship!" I know you've worked hard, you've played five games in 10 days, you're all very tired physically and mentally, but when you think about it, you're here, you're within reach of the championship, are you willing to give up? Are you willing to give up? Lads, I need you to show your last strength, just like the last game of your life, stand with me, fight, fight! We want to tell the world that we are the best, that we are Italy! ”

"We are Italy! We are the best! "The young players let out a loud roar, a rebellion against their pre-match debacle by the media and even the media in their own country, and the most fanatical declaration from the heart of each of them.

Mr. Roca looked at the scrappy little ones with satisfaction, then clapped his hands and shouted: "Very good, keep this fighting spirit, I need you to show this fighting spirit on the court, I need you to work hard, this is probably the closest game to glory in your life, I need each and every one of you to give it your best." Remember, don't leave your life with regrets! ”

"No regrets!" The team members yelled neatly again, and then scattered with tense faces and began to pack up their equipment in earnest.

Soon, the stadium staff knocked on the door of the Italian team's dressing room to remind them that they were ready to play.

Mr. Roca stood in the doorway, high-fived and cheered at the players who were out of the door, and when it was Descartes' turn, he said with a deep gaze: "Descartes, don't let me down." ”

Descartes replied confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Rocca, I'll teach the Mexicans a lesson!" ”
