The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 56 Against Germany
  At the last moment of the game, Leo assisted Balotelli and scored a wonderful goal to help the team eliminate the opponent 1-0 and advance to the final!

We are only one step away from the final championship.

Agent Raiola also called to congratulate him.

"As long as you win against Germany, you will be a player who has won the European Championship on behalf of Italy, even if it is just a youth level event, it is enough.

It's enough for me to help you open up the situation in Italy. Several representatives are already in communication, and the results will be available soon.

Also, I happen to be discussing your contract issue with Inter Milan these days. Give it to me, otherwise I feel like they are not willing to let go! "

With his outstanding performance at Inter Milan last season, Balotelli's weekly salary has now increased to nearly 20,000 euros, and the winning goal in the Milan Derby is worth at least 8,000 euros.

And Leo is still earning a salary of several hundred yuan, which is similar to the apprentice contract, which is completely inconsistent with his strength.

Moratti has long wanted to give Leo a new contract, but Raiola has been delaying it, waiting until this game is over.

La Pang is more confident than Leo, and his agent believes that Leo can definitely help Italy win a championship.

Italy won the European Youth Championship in 2003, but the German team has never won the championship.

The closest they came to the championship was in 2002, but they lost to Spain in the final and missed the championship.

Speaking of Spain, the Bulldogs, which had won three championships in the previous four years, were eliminated in the group stage this year.

It stands to reason that with talented players like De Gea and Azpilicueta, they should not be eliminated in the group anyway.

Maybe their coaching is terrible.

Before the game against Germany started, Italy U19 head coach Francesco deployed detailed zone defense tactics to the defenders.

Compared with the excellent tactical execution, the personal abilities of these Italian defensive players are really not that good.

Leo is very worried about whether the team can withstand the opponent's attack tomorrow against the German Rammstein Youth Edition.

“Mario, today’s game still depends on your performance.

Do you think that Okaka or Pawlowski is better than you? If you want to win against Germany, you have to be the one!
  How about it, are you confident? How many are you planning to buy today? "

Ba Shen was blushing at Leo's compliment, scratched his head and replied:

"Trying to score two?"

Leo smiled and patted Balotelli, "Okay, I'll pass the ball to you!"

On July 2008, 7, at the Jablonec Shooting Stadium in the Czech Republic, the old enemies of Germany and Italy competed in front of more than 26 spectators.

The German U19 youth team tied with the Czech Republic in the semi-finals. It took the th minute of overtime to defeat the host country with Pasu's goal.

Therefore, in terms of physical fitness, Italy can be said to have a certain advantage.

After the game started, Leo took the lead in launching an offensive.

Leo dunked past German midfielder Rasband in the frontcourt and sent a direct pass. AC Milan striker Pawlowski's lob shot went over the goal crossbar.

Balotelli on the other side glared at Leo, obviously asking why he didn't pass it to me.

Leo waved his hand and asked Ba Shen to calm down for a moment, as it wasn't yet time.

Afterwards, Leo passed the ball several times but still failed to send it to Bashen. Pawlowski and Mazarani squandered the opportunities created by their teammates again and again. In the 24th minute of the game, Gebhard and Svend created chaos near the Italian penalty area.

Gebhard made a wonderful pass to Rasband, who volleyed with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area and the ball went straight into the far corner!

One to zero! The German U19 youth team took the lead in scoring!
  Alas, just as Leo expected, Italy's defense simply could not withstand the German team's attack.

Taking a look at the Bender brothers hugging each other to celebrate the goal, Leo found it quite interesting.

It's time. Leo received a pass from his teammate near the center circle, took two steps forward and immediately attracted Swende's defense.

This time Leo didn't stick to the ball and penetrated the German team's defense with another direct pass!
  Balotelli broke out from the gap between the two German defenders and was not offside!
  Facing the goalkeeper alone, Bashen stopped to adjust his steps, then flew up and hit the goal with a heavy kick!
  At the moment when Balotelli attacked the goal, the goalkeeper of the German youth team Ziller was still wondering whether to attack, but the opponent suddenly started!

At this time, it was too late to make a save, and Ziller could only watch the ball fly from his side into the net!
  One to one! Not long after losing the ball, Italy quickly responded with color to equalize the score.

Bashen ran to the corner flag area and roared to take off his jersey, but was stopped by Leo who arrived in time.

“The first half of the game is not even over yet, do you just want to get a yellow card?
  Also, why do you no longer take two steps into the penalty area when you are one-on-one, but insist on shooting from a long distance outside the penalty area? "

Ba Shen hesitated for a moment, "Because I think it's cool?"

Leo smiled and patted Balotelli, "He's really handsome. It'll be great if the ball goes in."

There is still another sentence left, if the goal just now was not scored and such a good opportunity was wasted, Leo will definitely find a way to deal with this kid after he returns.

In the 36th minute, it was another direct pass from Leo. The captain of the German team, Jungwirth, received his second yellow card in the game for consecutive fouls on Balotelli and was sent off.

Balotelli's penalty kick was scored instantly, two to one! Italy overtook the score!
  Germany is behind in the score and has one player missing. The game situation is extremely unfavorable to them!
  German coach Hrubesch could only be forced to make a substitution, replacing Marcel Riise with defensive midfielder Laca from Schalke.

At the end of the first half, with two goals from Bashen, Italy temporarily led the German team 2-1.

In the second half, Francisco replaced Poli, who performed poorly in the first half, with Bonaventura, hoping to take advantage of the numerical advantage to score another goal and win over the opponent.

However, in the 54th minute, Italian center back Gentili brought down Naki and received a second yellow card. The two sides actually restored their numerical balance.

Gebhard and Naki cooperated in the frontcourt, and finally Pasu broke into the penalty area and scored with a low shot!
  Two to two! The completely German team did not give up even when they were in dire straits, and stubbornly saved the situation and equalized the score!

However, a draw cannot win the game. The highly motivated German tank continues to strengthen its attack and wants to overtake the score in one go.

In the 86th minute, Swende's long-range shot was too square and was firmly picked off by the Italian goalkeeper.

Opportunity for a quick counterattack! After two passes, the ball came to Leo's feet.

Leo, who had been "resting" on the court for more than half an hour, started!
  He had no intention of passing the ball, and he didn't even see a single teammate in his eyes, only the German players blocking him.

First, with a simple acceleration, Leo passed by Gebhard, and then faced the encirclement of the Bender brothers, he cleverly changed direction and rushed over.

Leo entered a state of man-ball integration, with the ball firmly under his feet and running forward faster and faster.

The last two German defenders failed to close the door, and Leo sped out between them again.

Enter the penalty area with one sword! Leo was very calm. He noticed that Ziller spread his legs in order to expand the defensive area.

With a slight push, the ball passed through the crotch of the German goalkeeper and went into the goal!
