Rubbing his aching ankles, Balotelli got up from the grass and scolded the players behind him before walking forward dissatisfied.

In general, he likes this kind of training match very much, small field, cloth shoes, solid ball, Parma's training mode, so that his advantages are vividly and vividly. Although he is very tall, he is not very fond of heading, although he is black, he does not like sprints, his way of playing is quite similar to Ibrahimovic, Parma's training mode, he is very happy here.

Except when I met Palmeri.

He can't remember how many times he had been robbed of Palmeri on the pitch. When the big white defender first arrived, he didn't particularly look down on him, and he was able to win eight of the ten duels between the two of them. However, as time went on, he found that this big white man began to have a success rate comparable to him, and now, he can hardly win the confrontation.

This guy may not be the stupid big guy he thought he was at first. On the contrary, he has a good mind and good technique. Just like this time, as soon as the ball reached his feet, he didn't have time to turn around, and the opponent snatched the ball, and he knew that it was the opponent who took advantage of the moment when he turned around and snatched the football from his feet. He timed the tackle well and was decisive in his move, allowing Balotelli to turn and break through to no avail.

I remember that at the beginning, he didn't have such good skills, and even his running position was easy to make reckless mistakes. However, this guy is really a fast learner, and he now knows how to get the right time to grab it and cause trouble for himself.

This defender is a real nuisance, but it's okay, maybe after a while, I won't have to fight against him again. Maybe, after a while, I'll be on a big team.

"Mario, you're doing a good job, and you, Orlando, keep your distance, I repeat, keep your distance, pay attention to your position, you can't always blindly grab like this, you want to learn to keep your distance from your opponent, pay attention to the space behind you, make sure that your teammates behind you are in place, and then grab up. Maintaining an effective defensive position is the first step in defending and you have to remember it! ”

On the football field, Esposito's roar rang out again, and Palmeri, who had just completed the ball break and successfully played a counterattack, walked backwards.

This made Balotelli's heartless big man laugh, what if you win the confrontation? It's not you who gets scolded, not me?

His laughter caused Esposito to glare up at him, but when he realized that he didn't care about his gaze at all, Esposito had no choice but to ignore him and let him go on his own. It had become a habit for Balotelli to make mistakes and not change his mistakes, and Esposito knew that no matter how hard he tried to speak, it would be in vain, so he ignored him. He still found Palmeri and talked to Palmeri about the defensive moves he had just made.

"I've told you a lot that when the opponent is passing, go around behind the receiver and defend, that's the basics! When the opponent can form a small range of cooperation, keep the inside, don't get too close, don't blindly kick out, why can't you remember? Your up-and-down just now, it looks like you're in a position, but the teammates behind you aren't in place, if Mario kicks you over, then the teammates behind you are in danger, you're a defender, who do you expect to wipe your ass? ”

"This kind of ball, I don't need to think about the problem behind the back, the front of the penalty area, Mario after receiving the ball, the skills are not skilled, when you turn around, there must be free, I have observed this many times, I don't have to wait for my teammates to be in place, just grab it, and immediately after grabbing it, it is an opportunity to counterattack. If you listen to you, let him go, and wait for his teammates to be in place, it is indeed blocking his breakthrough and passing, and he can't let him attack head-on, but after he calmly turns around, he can quickly split the ball to form a secondary attack. I'm not doing anything wrong, it's that you're too conservative! As you can see, I won this confrontation and I made no mistake. And, how can you just talk about me? Do I blame my partner for being slow to fill in? ”

On the sidelines, Palmeri also argued with Esposito. What he said also has his own truth, and the teammates around him are accustomed to watching the arguments between the two people, and they have seen a lot of such things.

"Listen, what I'm asking you to do now is learn positional techniques, not make you think about how to form a tactical counterattack. You can steal him because you have a big physical advantage, but what if you play against a better player? What if it's not him who's up against you, but the first-team players, Rossi, Milito? What if it's Ibrahimovic? Will you be able to grab it too? You are not to blame for your partner's problems, but on the football pitch, you can't expect your partner to always be a player of Nesta's level. As a defender, you have to learn to play with your teammates. And as a defensive leader player, how to lead a team mate who is not strong to win, is also something you have to learn, tell me, do you want to be a leader, or an ordinary third-rate defender? ”

Esposito looked at the child in front of him and reprimanded him with some hatred. This kid is the best physical and brainiest player in the youth team, but his cleverness can sometimes be a bit of a problem. Esposito has told him many times that he should be more secure in his tackles, thinking about defense first and then attacking, but he is always a little reckless, he likes to grab when the opponent catches the ball and turns around, and likes to make opponents make mistakes in a confrontational way, so as to break the ball and start the attack. This style of play does make him extremely conspicuous, but, as Esposito said, this kind of play is a bit too risky, not paying attention to the cooperation with his teammates, always blindly betting that he can win the confrontation, which is not what a good defender should do.

A striker can be confident, but a defender has to be steady. A striker with a large fluctuation level can attract attention with his highlights, but a defender with a fluctuating level will only pay attention to his mistakes.

Of course, this is also him, and when arguing like this, Esposito is still willing to quarrel with him calmly. Although this kid said that he had a lot of ideas, he had actually done a good job in his card position. It's hard to get it right every time, and although he has some bad faults of being reckless, at least the most basic running coordination, he never makes a mistake. This is the rarest thing for a defender, how many people have to be stumped by just controlling the distance? He has a lot of talent, that's no doubt.

Although Palmeri likes to talk back to the coach, he argues about the technical problems on the court, and even Esposito is happy to argue with him. Players are willing to use their brains, how can a coach be unhappy? Hitting the coach, scoring is the thing. If it's against the rules, or if it's for privilege, it's a jerk, but if it's about discussing technical and tactical issues, and having your own opinion on how to play, it's a rare genius. Esposito was quite happy to meet such a genius, even if he quarreled.

In the future, he can have higher achievements, and the Italian defenders will not be able to pit the second generation. Balotelli plays in a similar way to Ibrahimovic, and it is true that he has the potential to become a top striker, which is certainly gratifying, but as an Italian, Esposito would like to see the emergence of a top defender.

Moreover, Balotelli's temper and personality during this period of time are not very satisfactory to him. This kid is indeed gifted, very talented, and even said that his talent can be compared to Ibrahim. However, there is something in his personality that makes his development far less than expected.

The word character is used to describe a lot of players, but some players have character and make people happy, while some players have character that means some nonsense. Everyone knows that Ibrahimovic has a lot of character, but he has a character and never sloppy in training games, but Balotelli's character is a bit excessive. It's a good thing to use the player's character where it should be used, but it's not a good thing to use it where it shouldn't.

Balotelli's temperament and personality made Esposito dislike it very much, he always couldn't see through, is this child really stupid or fake stupid? He does have talent and ability to play, but if he doesn't work so hard, sooner or later something will go wrong.

Therefore, when it was rumored that someone was going to buy Balotelli, he didn't feel any pity, he couldn't teach such a child. His temper has always been relatively straight, for those players who need to be coaxed, accustomed to playing well, he doesn't cherish it very much, he always feels that football is a man's sport, is the victory of peacetime, men, have a wound to lick themselves, have a scar as a medal, always coax what kind of man is it? Balotelli claimed to be leaving, and his greatest regret was that in the future, there would be no one to confront Palmeri.

However, this was not a big problem in the first place, and now he is fighting against Balotelli, and he has won more and lost less. Although Balotelli's skills are very good, he has always been unscrupulous in his play, and he can't compare with someone like Palmeri who has a brain. Palmeri is now quite invincible in his age group. It's just that this habit can win against Ibrahimovic? That's what Esposito had in mind.

'Even if Ibrahimovic had been defending him with anybody else, I wouldn't have let him score a goal like that.'

Palmeri muttered, much to Esposito's frustration. Everything else is fine with this child, but it's just a problem of overconfidence, and he doesn't change after repeated teachings.

"You think about it, is it right for you to play like this. Don't always think that it's okay if you're invincible in your age group now, professional football doesn't matter what age group, there, you play well to be really good. ”

When he was reprimanding Palmeri, Esposito had already seen Li Bin coming over from the sidelines, he said a few more words, put him on the court, and then walked to the sidelines, "Lee, how is Mario's affairs?" ”

After talking about it a few days ago, Li Bin went to deal with the matter of Inter Milan poaching, although he didn't care very much, but Esposito still greeted him and asked.

"Inter Milan is very well priced, it should be said that it is very good for children in this age group, and Inter Milan is not as lacking in virtue as AC Milan in this regard...... Still, I told them that Mario is our future and that I won't sell him easily. His father asked for a lot, but you also know that Balotelli doesn't even have an official Italian nationality, and if he wants to transfer, where is it so easy. Li Bin said to Esposito, "Don't worry, we've got him left." ”

"I wasn't worried about that." Esposito muttered, "I said, he's not the one I'm most worried about not being able to keep." ”

"Worry or not, I've left him behind, at least this year, we don't have to worry about it." Li Bin pondered for a moment, "However, I'm not worried about him, I'm more worried about the little guard you mentioned." I'd love to see how good he is to make you think he's more important than Balotelli. To be honest, I'm also looking forward to seeing a good defender in Italy. ”
