Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Descartes had spent his sixteenth life in Pavia.

However, at this time he was no longer in the Pavia youth team, and he is now officially a member of the youth team of Pavia FC, the so-called reserve player.

The reason why he has not been promoted to the first team is of course not because of other reasons, but because of his physical condition. With the gradual development of Descartes, the impact of his illness on the body gradually began to be revealed, compared with his peers, he appeared relatively thinner, and his height was only about 1.70 meters, with such a body shape, there is no difference from ordinary people, but compared with professional athletes, it is significantly smaller.

It was because of concerns about his physical condition that the club did not make up their minds to let him play in official matches, and he still played with the youth team for most of the time.

However, the competition is no longer a regional league in Lombardy, but a standard domestic Under-15 youth league.

Italy's youth league system is slightly different from the senior professional league system, they don't go through a long double round-robin season like senior football, and it is not possible to allow youth teams to play in a lower official league like the Spanish football league, in Italy, the youth football league is more akin to a cup surname, with a total of 16 teams in each division, divided into four groups to play, with the top two teams in each group qualifying, and then the quarterfinals.

Inter Milan have dominated the competition in recent years at the top of the Youth League, thanks to the unprecedented number of academies, who have won several trophies in the past few years and have won several times since 2005.

In contrast, Pavia's youth team is a bit of a disappointment, they are not qualified to play against a team like Inter in the first division, their youth team is only slightly better than the senior team, and most of the time they are still mixed in the third league.

Descartes, on the other hand, did not join the Pavia youth team until he was 14 years old, and he won the Silver Boot in the competition last season, helping the Pavia youth team to a fourth-place finish and narrowly missing promotion to the second division.

In fact, although this competition is called the Youth League, many senior players who are not the main players in the big clubs are often sent to this competition to help them regain their form, such as last season's C Youth League Golden Boot Award, which was won by Messina's former main striker Di Napoli.

The 1974-born player, who is more than half the age of Descartes, lost his place in the main team after Messina's promotion to the First Division in the 2003-2004 season, and was relegated to the development team.

So last season, it was the veteran scorer who once dominated Serie B who competed with Descartes for the league's Golden Boot position.

Descartes really had nothing to regret losing to such an old man.

The only regret is that the team fell short in the third and fourth place finals, and finally lost the promotion to the second division of the Youth League.

This made Descartes very unwilling, and he had secretly made up his mind that he must go to the next level this year and help the Pavia youth team to reach the second division.

But just as Descartes was working hard to make his mark in the new season, a discussion about him quietly sparked in the Italian media.

The cause of the incident came from Italy's coach Francisco Fernando Coach of the 2005 World Junior Championships in Peru. A quote from Mr. Rocca.

The Italian World Junior Team has been dubbed by the media as the most starless team in the history of Italian football, and their eleven main players are goalkeeper Matthia. Palin, defender Dave. Bivio, De. Silvestri, Manuel. Angeluzzi, Mitchell. Cremonesi, midfielder Daniel. Greco, Tomasi D. Antonma, Simone Palermo, forwards Christian Tiboni, Andre Russoto, Salvaretto Foti.

The main formation used by this team is 433, and it can be seen from the list of their main players that the media is indeed not lying, this team can really only be called a civilian team, and the biggest star among them is only Silvestri who did not play at Inter Milan later.

So as the head coach of this team, Francisco. Mr. Roca also felt a lot of pressure, for which he spoke in front of the media, claiming: "There is still some time before the game, we do not rule out the possibility of recruiting other more suitable players, as far as I know, Balotelli of Inter Milan and Descartes of Pavia are very good players of the right age, and I will look at them next to decide whether to call them up for the national team." ”

This is the first time that a manager at national team level has recognized Descartes' performance, following the annual robbery of Italy's major giants.

However, in fact, Balotelli is not an Italian citizen now, he still holds Ghanaian nationality, and he must wait until he reaches the age of 18 before he is eligible for dual Italian/Ghanaian citizenship, so Inter Milan can only be politely rejected by the official for Mr. Roca's call-up, and expresses great regret.

As a result, all eyes of Italy were on Descartes.

You know, since the 2000 season, there have been rumors that several clubs have invited Descartes to join almost every year, but Descartes has stayed in the small city of Pavia for five years and has never responded positively to these invitations.

Everyone thought that it was because of the two "withdrawals" of Milan and Juventus that Descartes had a psychological shadow, so many media both admired and regretted his talent, thinking that he might really not be suitable for big clubs, and the most glorious years of his football career were estimated to be only in Pavia.

But now suddenly the head coach of the national junior team has issued a summons to Descartes, and these media are immediately excited, why? Because it's news!

"In the past, the retired teenager was called up by the head coach of the national team, Milan, do you regret it?"

"Suffering from illness but not falling into the clouds, aspiring teenagers finally won the favor of the national team!"

"A model of the handicapped and strong, who tells you that if you don't give up, there will be hope: the legend of Descartes!"

……

What a gimmicky topic these are, as a gossip entertainment reporter, oh no, a conscientious sports reporter, how could these reporters let go of such a good hype topic?

The day after Mr. Rocca said that, the small town of Pavia was crowded with more than 100 journalists, all of whom had come to interview Descartes.

They wanted to hear from Descartes what they wanted, and that was whether he would respond to Mr. Rocca's call. You know, although Descartes has always been in a small team like Pavia, the topic of major clubs competing for him has been exposed in the media several times a year.

If according to what the media said, Descartes is no longer a Pavia person, his thigh is in AC Milan, his head is in Inter Milan, his arm is in Juventus, his ass may be in Rome, or it may be in Lazio, it is only a matter of time before he leaves Pavia, and the whole of Italy knows that the small city of Pavia cannot keep the sleeping dragon of Descartes.

Unfortunately, until now, Descartes has not shown the slightest intention of leaving Pavia. He still played in the youth league of Pavia FC as usual, and he should have assists and goals, as if he had not received any outside interference.

This seems very abnormal in the eyes of reporters, how can such a good player be willing to lie dormant in such a small club? So the better Descartes' performance, the more enthusiastic their hype became, and before they knew it, Descartes was already more famous than many Serie A stars, and in Italy, even the popular fried chicken Kaka did not have as much time as he reported.

Descartes, on the other hand, was actually surprised when he heard Mr. Rocca's call.

Because in a game like the World Junior Team, players who are usually just the right age are usually called, that is to say, players who are just stuck in the age group of 17 years old, unless they are particularly good, players under the age of 16 are generally not considered.

This is because of the special reasons for the development of children during the teenage years.

In such an age of children, each year older, their physical function and quality will be much stronger, if you make a 27-year-old adult and a 25-year-old adult, maybe they are no different at all, but let a 17-year-old child and a 15-year-old child compare, in addition to genetic factors, 17-year-old children are definitely much stronger than 15-year-old children, and their bodies are much better.

So in the World Junior Team game, it is more about the body than the technique.

Like the national football team that we almost disappeared from the World Football Series for nearly a Cretaceous period, in fact, it also often appeared in the World Junior Championships, in the era when the national football team broke the hearts of the Chinese people, we can occasionally find a little comfort from the young players of the national youth, 2003, 2005, we can hear the news of the national junior players galloping in the World Junior Championships.

It's a pity that since 2007, the poor Chinese fans have lost even this last bit of comfort, the entire Chinese football world, really and the world completely opened the line, under the leadership of the wise football association top leadership, we have abandoned the world football that only 5 scum of combat effectiveness, began to play a stand-alone game.

Even a team like the national junior can enter the World Junior Championship, which shows that the rules of the World Junior Championship are completely different from the World Cup.

The strong team in the world of Chengren will not necessarily get the rightful position in the World Junior Championships, here, the emphasis is on more pure football, which is football after putting aside the flashiness.

And Descartes' physical condition is under the long report of the media, in fact, the whole of Italy is very clear. Although his illness has been curbed to a certain extent, physical strength and physique have always been a major factor that has plagued him, with his situation, if he really joins the Italian national team, can he show the level of his time in the Pavia club?

Roca is not Mr. Mancard, and he has to learn to reuse Descartes, not only in terms of his playing time, but also in terms of his possession and centrality.

If these issues are not addressed, Descartes will certainly perform below media expectations, which is a fact that does not need to be clarified.

But the problem is that the Italian national team has been running together for a long time, and even the qualifiers have been played, and then Mr. Rocca has called Descartes, doesn't it feel too late?

Descartes did not respond to this matter in the first place, and he sought help from his most respected teacher, Mr. Mancard.

Since Descartes was promoted to the Pavia youth team, Monsieur Mankaard has ceased to be his coach, but this has not affected the relationship between the two, Descartes regarded Monsieur Mankaard as his most trusted mentor, and Monsieur Mankaard regarded him as his favorite close disciple, and the two would consult each other in everything.

Just like this national team call-up, Mr. Mankad quickly helped Descartes make up his mind: "Descartes, what are you playing for?" ”

"To be a national hero of Italy like Mr. Rossi!" Descartes' eyes were unwavering, and he never wavered in that goal.

"That's fine." Mr. Mancard smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Now that the opportunity has come, what are you waiting for?" ”

Descartes was quick to give his response in front of the press: he was willing to serve his country whenever Mr. Rocca needed it.

The genius boy has finally decided to be born! Just like when Liu Bei learned that Zhuge Liang decided to go out of the mountain, the Italian media was overjoyed by the news, and most of the media were spreading Descartes' response wildly.

The media has been very dissatisfied with the national junior team before, you know, in the 2005 year without the World Series, the national junior team was an important job for these reporters, but what news can this team that looks like a civilian have? It's better to write about them than to write about who is fighting with the Inter youth team, and who Milan has loaned to whom, this is the sadness of this Italian national junior team: In this society where you can't be popular if you don't have a selling point, no matter how hard you play, no one wants to report you!

But now the problem is solved! With the addition of Descartes, the national junior team is no longer an obscure little monster, they at least have the most popular "superstar" in Italy at present, and this alone has a large number of reporters outside the Pinati Sports Center (the training base of the Italian national team).

On August 31, the Italian Football Federation officially issued a requisition order to the Pavia club. Mondillo was invited to join the Italian junior team and began his first appearance in world football.
