With a narrow 1-0 win at home to Sorrento, Pavia FC temporarily prevailed in the first meeting between the two sides. However, for this kind of home and away two-elimination game, 1:0 at home is definitely not a safe score, and the probability of being overturned away from home is quite large.

Mr. Donatoni did not expect the manager of Sorrento to be so decisive and ordered the whole team to defend after conceding a goal, which also frustrated his plans to gain a bigger advantage at home.

This score is not satisfactory to anyone, although the victory, but after arriving at the away road, the club will definitely face more huge difficulties, the next game, it is not easy to play.

However, Mr. Donatony did not show his disappointment in front of the players, and in any case, the team won the game after 90 minutes of hard work, and the players always deserve praise, so he also gave the team some encouragement after the game and told them to cope with the next league game.

Pavia's next league game is away from home against Lancen FC.

Lancian FC is a team that has just been promoted to Serie C, and as we said before, they recently changed their owners, a local tycoon took over the team, and then they brought in a few out-of-style players from Serie B and Serie A at a high price, forming a squad that is very strong compared to the top league teams, so they were promoted to Serie B this season.

It is said that the owner of this team is not satisfied with just messing around in the Serie C League, and he is also ready to take the team to a higher league, and even appear in Serie A, so this season the Lancian team has also invested a lot, and for the C League, their investment should be regarded as one of the best.

Because of this, the fans of this team are also full of confidence in the club, and they have made a statement before the game that against an "underdog" like Pavia, the team has only one goal: to take all three points.

Naturally, the reporters of good things did not let go of such a topic, and they approached the players of the Pavia club before the game, especially Descartes, and asked him what he thought of the statement made by the club Lancien.

Descartes was already familiar with this, and he replied to reporters very calmly: "I appreciate the confidence of the Lancian team, but Pavia is not afraid of anyone, and we will know the result after the game." ”

Of course, the reporters would not be satisfied with such a boiled water answer, so another reporter suddenly had an idea and asked Descartes in a loud voice: "By the way, Descartes, I heard that Mr. Jebrini, the president of the Lancian team, is very interested in you, and he also said that he wants to buy you to the Lancian club, what is your response to this?" ”

Descartes was a little surprised, he had never heard of such a thing. In fact, this matter is not that the reporter is talking nonsense, the chairman of the Lancian team, the big-rich Jebrini, did say to his friends in private, hoping to recruit a young man like Descartes, but he also understands that Lancian cannot be compared with a team like Milan, Juventus or Arsenal and Manchester United, Descartes even refused the invitation of these giants, how could he give in to a team like Lancien?

So this matter is only a verbal matter in a private chat, and the Lanxien Club has not made any moves for it.

However, the reporter did not know where to hear the news, and then said it in front of Descartes like a treasure, of course, his purpose was not to recruit Descartes for the Lancien club, he only hoped to hear some demeaning language from Descartes' mouth, and then the media could hype it up and stir up the atmosphere of the pre-match match between the two teams.

It's just a trick used by the media.

Descartes only briefly showed a look of surprise before he understood the minds of the reporters, and of course he would not be so easy to fall for the reporters, so he continued to reply with a smile: "I am very grateful for the kindness of Mr. Jebrini, but I am very happy at the club of Pavia now, I have no intention of leaving here for the time being, and we will leave the question of where I am going until the end of the season." Okay guys, I'm going to train, please let go. ”

Descartes' watertight answer made the media feel very bored, and many reporters complained privately that Descartes was just a teenager under the age of seventeen, why did he act like a seventy-year-old man when he was just a teenager under the age of seventeen?

Descartes just smiled at this, and if you've been in the spotlight for five years, you can too.

However, although the reporters did not get any shocking topics from Descartes, the head coach of the Lancian team gave them a chance.

The reason for the incident was that the head coach of the Lancian team, Gadiani, said in an interview with a reporter: "We have found a way to deal with Descartes, I am confident that we can completely lock him up in the game, you just wait and see the show." ”

This remark simply made the media happy, Gadiani is really informed! As if he was afraid that the reporters would not find a topic to hype, he took the initiative to give the reporters the opportunity to fight such a verbal battle, if everyone didn't do something, wouldn't he be sorry for Mr. Gadiani's hard work?

So the media flocked to Descartes and asked him what he thought of Gaudiani's words.

"Opinion?" Descartes' expression was full of doubt: "Since he said that he found a way to deal with me, then we will know after the game, what can I think?" Can I still go to court and sue him for bragging? ”

The reporters were amused, and the next day many newspaper articles about Descartes' words were published.

"I can't accuse them of bragging—Descartes' response to Gadiani."

"Descartes thought Mr. Gadiani was bragging, and he said he wouldn't go to court for it."

"Descartes disdained Gadiani's remarks and locked me up? You keep bragging. ”

……

Descartes' innocent remarks turned into his disdain for Gadiani in the writings of reporters, and Descartes had long known that it would become like this, and he could only express his helplessness about it.

On the other side of the incident, however, Mr. Gadiani did not see it that way.

He said in front of the media that he had a way to lock up Descartes, not because he was bragging, but because he was really confident.

Gadiani was a professional footballer before becoming head coach, playing for Atalanta, Piacenza and Vizcarra and many other Serie A and Serie B teams.

After retiring as a player, Gadiani accepted the invitation of the president of Lancian Club, Yebrini, to become the head coach of the team. He used his connections and connections in Serie A and Serie B to poach several old but still powerful Serie A and Serie B players, so that the club's strength has grown by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. In his first year in charge, the club was promoted to Serie B group, and in the thirteen rounds of the season, he has led the team to the top of the table, and the future of promotion to Group A is bright, so in his heart, he is very proud.

As for rookies like Descartes, who have become popular in recent years, Gadiani will of course also make research on surnames. He watched Descartes' game footage carefully, and based on his years of defensive experience, he quickly identified Descartes' weakness, which was that his left and right feet were quite unbalanced.

As Mr. Wenger said, professional footballers are usually required to practice playing with both feet at the same time as a child, but Descartes did not have such professional guidance, so he was used to playing with only one foot, and his left foot was simply not in the flow compared to his right foot.

And this problem was discovered by Mr. Gadiani at a glance. After more than 20 years as a defender, Gadiani certainly knows what works best against a player like Descartes.

So he found his old buddy, Paguera, the captain who joined Lancian with him last season, and discussed his findings with him.

Paghra is two years younger than Gadiani, and the two played together for Serie B side Arezzo the previous season. After Arezzo's relegation, Gadiani decided to retire and become the head coach of Lancien, so he recommended his friend Paguera to President Yebrini and brought him with him from Arezzo to Lancian.

Although Paguera is also unknown in Serie A or Serie B, he and Gadiani have partnered as central defenders for several years, and they know each other well, and Gadiani believes that with his level, he will definitely be able to beat any C or even the main central defender of any Serie B team. And like himself, Paguera has been in professional football for more than a decade and has a lot of experience, and he believes that if he tells him what he has discovered about Descartes, he will soon know what to do.

Paguera really didn't disappoint him, and after reading the information handed to him by Gadiani, he smiled playfully: "You mean to let me keep an eye on him?" ”

"Yes." Gadiani nodded solemnly and said, "I believe that with your experience, you can definitely keep an eye on him and not even receive the ball." ”

Paghera smiled and joked, "Why, is it because of those words he said in the newspaper?" ”

"Hey, man." Gadiani also smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You know who I am, I don't believe the nonsense of those shit reporters, I want you to use this method to keep an eye on him, first because he is our most dangerous enemy, and secondly, I want to teach this little guy a little lesson, his growth is too smooth, I think I should give him a little setback, he will make greater progress." ”

"But my old bones may not be able to keep up with him." Paguera sighed and looked at the high-spirited photos of Descartes on the data, when was he, he was once so young, but the years are not forgiving, they are now almost unpopular "veterans", and this little guy is a rising "new star" in Italian football, maybe it is really not a good idea to give the "new stars" a little setback to grow?

Of course, Gadiani didn't believe Pagra's jokes, he patted the old guy on the shoulder hard, and laughed loudly: "You really can laugh at Vaudi, but don't worry, this little guy is said to have some physical problems, he usually only plays in the second half, so I put you in the second half, I will start with Vincent and Franco in this game, and you have only one goal on the court, which is to completely freeze that little guy for me." ”

"Don't worry." Of course, Puguera will not disappoint his old partner, he confidently said: "Although I can be his father, I will let him know that the old bird will not be caught by the chaff (foreign proverb, the meaning is equivalent to ginger or old spicy)." ”
