The Bergamo junior football team is not an obscure opponent, they are the academy and reserve team of Serie A regulars Atalanta pairs.

Atalanta was founded in 1907, and when the team was formed, their jerseys were red and black, but later due to some sordid problems with Milan and admiration for Milan's rivals Inter, they changed their jerseys to blue and black.

Perhaps for today's fans, "the Great International Era" is just a very abstract term, it represents the most glorious period of Inter Milan, but few people can understand how brilliant it is.

Take a look at the history of Atalanta's jersey evolution and you'll get the idea.

The strength of the "Grand International" has reached the point where teams of the same level change their jerseys to salute it.

At that time, the "big international era" was not the later Juventus dynasty, which relied on referees to win the championship.

They had Sarti, Bugnić, Facchetti, Din, Gouaneri, Pizzi, Jair, Mazzola, Milani, Suarez and Corso, and under coach Herrera, Inter swept through the continent to win two consecutive European Cups, as well as three league titles in 1963, 1964 and 1966.

At that time, when players rarely played abroad, Inter's squad was almost equal to most of the Italian national team.

If there is any other team in Serie A that can compete with them later, I am afraid that only Milan's "golden backline" is Milan.

That's why the Nerazuri are always very nostalgic for those lost years, and they are full of resentment about the black hole of the current team.

Since it was once peerless, who can endure today's rouge vulgar powder?

But let's go back to Atalanta and his junior soccer team.

Similar to the Pavia youth football team, in fact, the Bergamo youth football team is not a youth academy fully owned by Atalanta, they are also an amateur football team led by the Bergamo Municipal Axe, but because of the existence of the Atlanta club, the main function of this team is to transfuse blood for the Atlanta youth team, so he is often regarded as a part of the Atlanta club, and has received a lot of help and support from the Atlanta club.

The difference is that Atalanta has been fighting in Serie B all year round, and occasionally can show up in Serie A, which can be regarded as a quasi-strong team, while Pavia can only be said to be a gangster in C, and it is also CB.

So Atlanta is definitely qualified to look down on this poor neighbor of theirs.

And the Bergamo Juniors team is backed by the big tree of Atlanta, and of course it is qualified not to take the Pavia Juniors football team in their eyes.

In fact, in the past few decades, the record of the Pavia junior football team against the Bergamo junior football team has been at a disadvantage, even after they have a talent like Descartes, they still have a draw and a loss against Bergamo last season, narrowly forcing a draw at home to Bergamo, and losing 1:3 away.

Naturally, such a result did not satisfy Mr. Mankald.

So he gave the team a hard target before the game, and they must win!

Of course, their home stadium is not the municipal sports center used by the Pavia club, but a training ground that just meets the standards of the game, and this training ground has no spectator seats, just a circle of barbed wire, so that the spectators can sit on the side of the football field and watch the game.

In fact, with the exception of some fans who are particularly fond of football, most of the spectators who come to watch such youth team games are relatives of the young players, who are different from ordinary spectators and have a stronger subjective color.

They will cheer for their son's performance, but they will not curse or boo their opponents, and who would want to curse at a group of eleven or twelve-year-olds?

So they can probably be regarded as the most fanatical and civilized group of "fans" in the world.

In the eager eyes of many local Pavia spectators, Pavia's young players walked out of the stadium one by one, holding hands, without a flag-raising ceremony or playing the national anthem, they just cheered each other in a circle, and then dispersed to all corners of the stadium to prepare for the first game of this year's regional league.

Descartes stood in the middle of the court, looking at the cheering crowd around him, and his heart was filled with a sense of wonder, a little apprehension, a little excitement.

This is not the first time he has stepped on the pitch, nor is it the first time he has played in the junior league, but unlike any other time, this is the first official match he has played since being sentenced to "death" by AC Milan.

Mr. Evani, do you see, I'm not going to give up football!

I would never go to San Siro as a white-collar worker, and even if I did, I would go as a footballer!

The opening whistle blew quickly.

As a regional league with professional teams such as the Milan Juniors, the referees hired by the Lombardy Regional Juniors Football League are quite high, at least at the national level.

One of the referees who officiated the game was De Coster. Narson.

The referee is an old friend of the Lombardy junior football league who has officiated on several occasions, and he is equally familiar with these junior teams and young players, and his enforcement is fair and a little harsh.

After all, it's a youth football game, and no one wants to see children get hurt, so it's understandable that the whistle is tighter.

And Descartes' opponents are not unknown, they also have one or two players in the team who are called "geniuses".

Mobrizio, the midfielder of the Bergamo Juniors, is known as the best midfield supernova in Atalanta after Donadoni, and even some local media in Bergamo call him the next Fiore, you know, Fiore is a member of the Italian national team at this time, and he is also the main midfielder of Lazio, the 2000 Serie A champion.

At 12 years old, Mobrizio is already ahead of his peers in speed and technique, and his breakthrough on the right flank is one of the most important attacking weapons for the Bergamo teenager. At this level of the junior team, no team has been able to stop his assault so far.

It is said that even the Milan duo once thought about him, if it weren't for the 2000 season, when Atalanta happened to be promoted to Serie A, and was in a strong period, he would have been poached by the Milan duo.

And Bergamo's No. 8 player, Giulio. Donati is Atalanta's new discovery at the back. Although he is only 11 years old, Donati, who plays as a central defender, has already developed the qualities to be an excellent defensive leader, he is accurate in position, excellent in judgment, and has good physical fitness, which is the real anchor of the Bergamo junior team.

He later played for Inter and Bayer Leverkusen, and was the absolute mainstay of Italy's Under-21 youth team, although he didn't get any decent opportunities at Inter, but he was only 23 years old in 2013, who could have predicted his future?

These two are also the bitter masters of the Pavia Junior Team, and in last season's competition, they went one after the other, Donati was in charge, and Mobrizio attacked the city, and the Pavia Junior Team was miserable, even Descartes could not bargain in front of them.

However, when this match started, everyone felt that the Pavia Junior Team was different from before.

The main difference is in their core player, 10-year-old Descartes. On Mondillo.

Even Donati, who plays as a central defender and is facing Descartes, has seen that this old opponent is a little different from before.

Last season, although Descartes was also difficult, as long as he put on a fierce face to press him, or moved a little bigger, he would voluntarily give up the ball, either passing out with one kick or wasting a chance with a wasted shot.

In Donati's opinion at that time, although Descartes was called a "genius boy", his skills at his feet were not necessarily very good, and his will was very weak, and he could not bargain for anything in front of him.

But today's Descartes is like taking medicine, not only in the face of his fierce pressing, but even after losing the ball like a mad dog, such a scene is simply not possible.

How did he know that Descartes was now in a "rebirth" mentality, trying to shine his brightest light on the football field.

And Mr. Mankaard only gives him 45 minutes, and if he doesn't give it his all, his persistence is meaningless.

The reincarbled Descartes surprised the crowd on the sidelines and panicked his opponents, as he interrupted the Bergamo defender's ball on a counter-attack just 17 minutes into the first half, and then fired a powerful shot past the Bergamo Juniors before Donati could come up to help.

On 25 minutes, Descartes made a comeback, receiving a pass from a teammate in the ribs, and in the face of Donati's ferocious close pressing, he staggered to take the ball into the box, and when Donati was too worried to put his feet down, he made another light stab and once again insulted the opposing goalkeeper with a crotch ball.

With only 25 minutes to play, the Pavia Juniors took a 2-0 lead, much to the delight of the families of the players who came to watch the game, who cheered desperately on the sidelines for the young players, the loudest of which was chanting the name "Descartes".

The enthusiastic cheers of the audience also made Descartes even more excited, in the 41st minute, he took the ball in the front court again, Donati did not dare to despise this "old friend" this time, he beckoned his companions, one left and one right at the same time to hit Descartes, but Descartes did not do it brute force this time, he used a light toe to pick a pass, in the game of the junior team, such an imaginative pass is rare, this pass easily crossed the Bergamo backline, another striker of the Pavia junior team, Levedra was there just in time for the ball to land and then rolled out a bocce ball with the arch of his foot.

It's a pity that the opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and blocked this inevitable shot with his toes, and just when everyone felt sorry, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared on the path of football.

It's Descartes!

He didn't stop after passing the ball, but forced his way through Donati and his team-mates, and Mr. Mankaard once told him that on the football pitch, you don't necessarily get more if you give more, but if you give less, you will definitely get nothing. So after passing the ball, he continued to run hard, it's not that he doesn't trust his teammates, it's just that he doesn't have much time left in this game, he wants to run as much as he wants, and release his energy completely.

The Emperor lived up to his wishes, and his run led to an incredibly easy goal, and under the desperate eyes of the opposing goalkeeper, Descartes comfortably scored his hat-trick in the 45 minutes of the game.

As the half-time drew to a close, the two teams were given a temporary respite, while Descartes was replaced by Mr. Mankald in a state of unfulfilled regret.
