The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 1 U19 League Champion
  On May 2007, 5, the Italian U20 Youth League finals started at the Guido Angelini Stadium in Chieti.

The opponents are the U19 youth teams of the Nerazzurri Inter Milan and Sailors Sampdoria.

Although it was only a youth team game, it still attracted more than 5,000 spectators to watch the game.

The game has reached the 89th minute, and the score is still zero to zero.

Inter Milan's youth team coach Vincenzo Esposito could no longer sit still and was pacing back and forth anxiously on the sidelines.

"Mario!"

On the field, an Asian teenager wearing the No. 10 Nerazzurri jersey winked at his teammates not far away, who nodded and clearly understood.

Inter Milan's No. 10 dribbled the ball up front. Faced with Sampdoria midfielder Andre Poli's pressing attack, the Asian-faced boy smiled slightly.

The heel lifted the ball over the head, a simple acceleration got rid of it, and it was over!
  After the successful pass, Inter Milan No. 10 did not forget to turn his head and glance at Poli, who was acting as a backdrop.

Pirlo's successor? That's it?
  "Pretty!"

"Bravo!"

Inter Milan supporters raised their arms and cheered the team's performance.

Even coach Vincenzo on the sidelines clenched his fists and stared at the court.

The gorgeous rainbow dribble boosted the morale of the Inter Milan youth team, but dribbling alone is of no use. What is needed to win the game is to score goals.

Being able to reach the final, Samp's boys are naturally not easy to do, and the defense has been quickly deployed at this time.

There was no time to waste, Inter Milan No. 10 did not even look at his teammates and decisively sent a long pass into the penalty area!

At this time, a dark-skinned figure unreasonably threw away the defense of Sampdoria defender Rossini and broke into the penalty area!

This person is the Nerazzurri's No. 9 forward. Xiaohei relied on his height and confrontation advantages to lean on the Samp defender who was approaching him. He stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area and fired a half-volley into the net!

The ball is in!
  One to zero!

In the 88th minute of the game, the Inter Milan Youth Team scored the goal to break the deadlock!
  The two who jointly completed this wonderful goal were Inter Milan U19 midfielder Leonardo and talented forward Mario Balotelli.

The two people relied on their superior personal strength and extremely tacit cooperation to score a crucial goal!

After holding on for nearly ninety minutes, the chain dropped at the last minute. The young people of Sampdoria looked at their opponents cheering and celebrating in the corner flag area with some frustration.

"Mario! Well done!"

"Hey, thanks to your breakthrough and pass, boss!"

Balotelli calls his boss naturally Leonardo, which is an Italian name. His Chinese name is Leo, which happens to have almost the same pronunciation as Leonardo's nickname Leo.

Leo was born in Italy, but his parents are both from Qingtian, Zhejiang Province, China.

Twenty years ago, they left their hometown and traveled across the ocean to work in Italy. After more than ten years of hard work, they finally opened a restaurant of their own in Milan.

Leo, who has been fond of playing football since he was a child, has a good sense of the ball. With hard work and luck, he was spotted by Inter Milan when he was twelve years old and officially became a member of the Nerazzurri echelon.

After coming to Inter Milan, Leo trained very seriously, but he failed to make many friends.

To be honest, it is very common for a yellow man to encounter discrimination, bullying and isolation in Inter Milan’s youth training echelon.

Fortunately, last summer, this black guy named Balotelli joined Inter Milan. Maybe they share the same disease, or they have similar personalities. In short, the two of them quickly became friends.

Leo and Balotelli are not ordinary people. They have distinguished themselves in the competition with many "white Italian" players by virtue of their extraordinary talents.

Now less than seventeen years old, both have already secured their main positions in the U19 youth team of Serie A giant Inter Milan.

In competitive sports, strength is respected. As long as you are strong enough, no one can bully you.

It is precisely for this reason that Leo and Balotelli formed a deep friendship in just one year.

Under the urging of Sampdoria, Inter Milan finally ended the celebration.

The kick-off from the center circle saw Samp, who was lagging behind, still looking for opportunities to equalize the score.

But there was not much time left. As Bonucci's flying tackle resolved the opponent's final attack, referee Cassino blew the whistle to end the game.

Won! we are the champion!

Balotelli bared his white teeth and lifted Leo on his shoulders. The Inter Milan boys happily waved to the supporters in the stands.

Leo is also very satisfied. He has won the first championship trophy of his career. Maybe the first-team coach Mancini will recruit him to the first-team next season after seeing his performance.

As long as I can get into the first team...

Inter Milan fans are very happy this year. After the Calciopoli scandal, the two northern powers fell into a trough, and the Apennine Peninsula has no rivals. Under the leadership of Mancini, the Nerazzurri easily won the Serie A championship this season.

The performance of both the first team and the youth team is so outstanding. It should be double the joy, but the actual situation is not like this.

Because club president Moratti wants the team to achieve results in the European competition as soon as possible, this means that it is almost impossible for Inter Milan to give young players too many opportunities.

The first team still mainly relies on the introduction of powerful big-name stars to seek breakthroughs.

"Well done boys! I'm proud of you!"

The team's head coach Vincenzo was a little emotional. He didn't know how many of these people would be able to stay on the team next season.

Of course, he would also be happy for the children when he saw that they could find a good way out and achieve greater development.

After all, it was just a youth team game, and the award ceremony was very sloppy.

The Inter Milan youth team players received their championship medals from presenter Luca Facchetti.

Yes, the Luca Facchetti who presented the award to them is the son of the legendary defender Giacinto Facchetti, the star of Inter Milan, the flag of the Azzurri.

Balotelli took a bite stupidly, and Leo didn't have time to stop him.

"Why did you bite it?"

"Huh? I don't know, I just want to bite it."

"This is definitely not gold...what? Then why are you biting it?"

Leo thought Balotelli wanted to see if the medal was gold, but it turned out not to be the case at all.

Leo also had a headache for his teammate and best friend.

Simply put, it is unreliable, both on and off the court.

Outside the game, Leo can help Balotelli solve some problems, including but not limited to not being able to tie his shoelaces, not being able to put on his coat, not being able to take off his vest, etc.

The two are obviously the same age, but Leo always takes care of Balotelli like an older brother, and Balotelli is used to relying on Leo for everything.

On the court, once Balotelli started to wander away absent-mindedly, Leo really beat him to his heart.

Fortunately, Balotelli was still normal today, and they successfully won the game and won the championship.

It was still reliable at the critical moment. Leo looked at Balotelli who was giggling next to him, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Touch your medal for me!"

"Snapped!"

Leo slapped away David Thornton's outstretched hand and put away his medal.

"Do you want to get the medal yourself next year, or do you think we won't be able to win the championship after you advance to U19?"

Thornton is one year younger than Leo and the others, let alone him, Leo and the others are only sixteen years old this year.

Even in the youth team, they seem a bit out of place because they are two or three years younger than their teammates.

"If you don't give it, I won't give it! I'll win one myself next year!"

Leo smiled. Although he didn't know why Thornton didn't hang out with the "white Italians" and wanted to play with the two of them, he still liked this little brother who came to his door.

He is talented and diligent in training. He has no major flaws except for being a bit playful and lustful.

"Mario, when do you think we can enter the first team?"

"what?"

Balotelli took the medal and took a bite.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Leo couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. If this was on the street, he really didn't want to say that he knew him.

"Yes, yes, when the time comes, the three of us will start together for Inter Milan!"

David Thornton actually heard what Leo said, and his face was filled with admiration.

　In reality, Samp bought half of Poli's ownership in early 07, and then Andre Poli came to the Sampdoria youth team after the start of the 07-08 season, and won the Youth Italian Cup and Youth League double championships with the team. .
