The final stage of the 2008 19 European Youth Football Championship will be held in the Czech Republic in July. The Italian Cup is divided into Group B, with the same group including the host Czech team, England team, and Greece team.

Italy's 3 games will ---

July 14, 2008 to Greece,

July 17, 2008 to England,

On July 20, 2008, the host Czech Republic.

The match between the Italian 19 national team and the England 19 national team was arranged before the group results of the final stage. After the group draw results were released, although Italy and England were divided into Group B, neither side proposed to cancel the warm-up match. In the words of Italian 19 national team coach Kasirach, this warm-up match was purely to examine the players' status. After the results of the game and the championship started, it did not have any reference value.

After all, the feeling of the game and the warm-up match in the real finals is essentially different.

However, no player will ignore the importance of this game. After the end of this game, the concentration of the Italian 19 national team will be until July 2. From July 2 to 11, 2008, the Italian 19 national team will hold training at the Boseggella base in Rome.

So the players in this training camp can basically be confirmed to participate in the European Youth Championship in July. Of course, if anyone performs too much, then they will be replaced.

This time in Italy's 19th match against England, Kasirach recruited a total of 18 players. At the end of June, UEFA's 23-man roster will be reported. If nothing unexpected happens, these 18 people will be used as the team. The specific list is as follows---

Goalkeepers: Fiorillo (Sampdoria), Piccolo (Turin);

Defenders: Albertazi (Milan), Bruscakin (Milan), Dalmian (Milan), Frmiconi (Udinese), Gentilly (Atlanta), Tagliani (Fiorentina);

Midfielders: Bonaventura (Atlanta), Frestieri (Siena), Palonbo (Naples), Poly (Sampdoria), Lazzo (Genoa), Romizi (Fiorentina), Viola (Regina);

Forwards: To the South (Chelsea), Balotelli (Inter Milan), Paroski (Milan)

This warm-up match with England was originally arranged at the Olympic Stadium in Turin, but later decided to be played at San Siro Stadium. The young men from Italy 19 should also be thanked. **          ***The two teams of Milan were not in good shape. In this year's European Champions League knockout stage, Milan was eliminated by Arsenal and Inter Milan was eliminated by Liverpool. San Siro Stadium does not need to host the Champions League match to be the home court of the Italian 19th place.

On the evening of April 8, 2008, Milan Malpensa Airport.

Malpensa Airport is only 20 kilometers away from Milanello, the training ground in Italy 19. After getting off the plane south, you will rush directly to a hotel near the airport to meet the team, and then do adaptive training in Milanello early tomorrow morning. The game will be held in the evening.

When he just walked to the airport lobby, the reporters who had been waiting at Malpensa Airport for a long time immediately rushed forward, which caught Tony, a staff member of the Italian 19 national team who was responsible for picking up the plane, caught him off guard. In Tony's impression, no 19 player could cause such a sensation.

"Andre, how do you feel when you return to Italy again?"

"It feels good, the sky in Italy is still the same as before. The air is also good."

Uh... I have to say. This is really a nonsense answer. It seems that Xiangnan has learned to face reporters more calmly under the eyes of the elites of England Fleet Street.

"Andre, as the first Chinese player in Italian football, what do you think?"

"It's very calm, Italy's football level is very high. I am a football player. Of course, I'm proud of being a Chinese. Football is so wonderful.==="

"Andre, will you worry, will you be nervous? You know, your competitors are also very strong."

"Mario is very strong, Alberto is my good friend, and they cooperate with me without any problems."

Xiangnan's answer, to be honest, is a bit arrogant, and this meaning is very obvious. Xiangnan shows that relying on his own strength, he will definitely occupy a main striker's place. As for Inter Milan's Balotelli, or Xiangnan's friend, Paroski of Milan, which one partnered with him depends on the coach's arrangement.

However, Xiangnan did not think that he said this. There was nothing wrong with it. In the football world, everything was spoken by strength. Xiangna did not think that he would praise Balotelli first. This guy who didn't deal with him would be in love with him. As for Parotski, before Xiangnan came, the kid called Xiangnan. On the phone, Parotski joked that he was not afraid of Xiangnan's competition.

At this time, Tony quickly pulled Xiangnan out of the crowd, got on a Volvo, and rushed towards the hotel. The roommate in the room was the awesome Balotelli.

Xiangnan couldn't help but complain that the Italian Football Association was just stingy. The 19th national team actually arranged a double room?!!

Yes, it’s still comfortable for the Italian adult national team, a five-star luxury hotel, a single room at the presidential suite level, and a beautiful waitress…

Balotelli was obviously still the bad temper. She ignored Xiangnan and didn't know that she thought Xiangnan had snatched his girlfriend.

In fact, the temper is like the thing below a man, and it cannot be changed easily. As long as he is still a man, his temper will not change like this.

What? You say shemale?!!

OK, I didn't say anything.^^^^^

"Andre, do you want to come and have fun?" Xiangnan, who had just finished taking a shower, was about to go to bed, but he had not spoken much, suddenly came over. It was mysterious.

"What are you playing?" Xiangnan looked puzzled, "First of all, I'm not glass, and I will never be!!"

Balotelli looked at Xiangnan, who was exaggeratingly covering a sensitive part, and suddenly, his face turned like a pig's liver. Fortunately, he was originally a black man. Otherwise, it would be ugly enough.

Seeing Balotelli take out a p3 from his bag like a magic trick, Xiangnan's eyes widened. You should know that this thing was able to survive after being siege and blocked by the coaching staff. It was really not easy.

Balotry looked south with his eyes slanted, "Hey, can you play?"

God testified that this was a great slander and ridicule for a super player, so Xiangnan decided to teach this annoying guy a little lesson. The picture was frozen at 8:1!!!

Balotelli was mournful, her mouth was wide open, and she could almost stuff a pig's trotter...

That's right, 8:1!!

Xiangnan chose Milan to gang-rap Inter Milan, which Balotelli chose. This result made Inter Milan No. 30 very depressed. Brother Mario, who originally wanted to find pleasure in Xiangnan, found that he accidentally put it on the iron plate...

So Xiangnan went to bed with satisfaction and soon fell asleep. As for the unlucky roommate Balotelli brothers, it is not something Xiangnan can know whether he is so sad that he can't sleep!!!

Milanello training ground

The Italian 19 Youth Team's breakfast was not in the hotel, but on the second floor of the main building in Milanello, so I arrived in Milanello early in the morning.

After breakfast, it is not time to meet up.===

Going south around the woods of the training ground, jogging, followed by Milanello's guard Marcos, a purebred German shepherd.

After coming to Milanello early this morning, Marcos recognized Xiangnan, just like an old friend who had not seen him for many years. He followed Xiangnan tightly and stopped patrolling.

Uh... God testified that Xiangnan had been treated here for less than half a month. I didn't expect that Marcos still remembered him. Is this considered a very good person?!!

Yes, this.

After the jog, I walked towards the bar on the second floor south. Now, this is the lounge in Italy 19, where everyone rests here.

"Andre." Kasirach patted Xiangnan's shoulder, "Do you want a beer?"

Xiangnan certainly knew that the head coach was joking with him. He didn't think that the Italian head coach would tolerate his players becoming an alcoholic.

"No, coach." Xiangnan smiled, "I still like to have a little more juice."

"Okay, take a break and go to San Siro to get used to the venue."

This is the second time Xiangnan has trained and played on this field, but the last time he came here was a league for Torino and Inter Milan. At that time, the name of this field was Meadza.

Xiangnan stepped onto this field again, and couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the last game here was his last game for Turin.

Group training mainly allows these kids who have hardly played together to get familiar with each other. However, in such a short time, the effect is really limited, especially Xiangnan, who has almost never played with his teammates of the national team. There are still many mistakes in terms of passing and receiving cooperation.

This also made Kasirach frown when he watched carefully on the sidelines.

"Pierre. Don't worry.**      ***This is just the first time Andre and his teammates practice together. I believe that the next time, in the training ground in Rome, the situation will be much better." Assistant coach Zora observed Kasirach's expression and said with a smile, "I have confidence in that kid."

Kasirach glanced at his assistant, nodded, and said nothing, turning his eyes back into the court.

On the court, Xiangnan received a pass from Romic, and a defensive player around him accelerated and shook away. Facing Tagliani who came to make up for defense, he suddenly leaned forward, stepped on the ball with his left foot, turned back and pulled back, leaning on Tagliani, and at the moment Vrmiconi came up to press, he gently rubbed his right foot. The ball reached Paroski's feet. All Milan players had to do was to send the ball to Xiangnan's teammate when he was in Turin. Now the Italian 19 national team substitute goalkeeper Picolo made a light shot, and the ball was spinning in the net.

Paroski also ran over to celebrate with his friend. Indeed, the passing to the south was so comfortable with this cooperation just now.

"Beautiful!!" Kasirach couldn't help but applaud on the sidelines. He was more confident in the Chelsea striker. At the same time, Xiangnan and Paros base also made his eyes shine.

Uh... Poor Barotri, Inter Milan's Super Mario caught a cold because she didn't have a good rest last night and is now doing running exercises on the sidelines depressed sidelines.

Uh...it's all caused by 1:8.

Early in the morning, Parosky ran to Xiangnan mysteriously and asked Balotelli about his cold. Did the two of them get too passionate last night?!!

The result of poor Paroski was that he was threatened to not pass the ball to him in today's training game, and finally, amid the apology of the Milan boy, someone expressed his understanding...

With Zora's whistle, the training ended. At this time, it was time to announce the roster of starters for the match against England's 19 Youth National Team tonight.

Kasirach was wearing a sportswear for the Italian national team, looking very energetic. He walked slowly with a piece of white paper, looked at the player with anticipation, cleared his throat, and read it slowly---

Starting list:

Goalkeeper: Fiorillo (Sampdoria)

Defenders: Albertazi (Milan), Dalmian (Milan), Frmiconi (Udinese), Tagliani (Fiorentina);

Midfielders: Bonaventura (Atlanta), Frestieri (Siena), Palonbo (Naples), Romizi (Fiorentina);

Forward: Balotelli (Inter Milan), Paroski (Milan)

Xiangnan was obviously stunned when he heard that he had no starting lineup. He did not expect that not only Xiangnan himself, but also Balotelli did not expect that he would start. Inter Milan Super Mario, who occasionally felt the cold, just saw the wonderful cooperation between Xiangnan and Paroski, and had already admitted that Xiangnan and Paroski had the opportunity to start.

Even Parosky, who started, was surprised. He always thought that if he started, his forward partner should be Xiang Nan. In the training just now, the cooperation between Parosky and his friends has gradually changed from frequent mistakes at the beginning to gradually having some tacit understanding and exciting cooperation.

Another point is that Paroski and Balotelli, two guys from Milan and Inter Milan, don’t meet each other very much...

Seeing Xiangnan's stunned eyes, Kasirach announced his disbandment without explaining anything.

After disbanding, Xiangnan was about to leave when he heard Zora's voice.

"Andre, are you still used to it at Stamford Bridge?"

Zora is the greatest foreign striker in Chelsea's history. He has too many stories for Stamford Bridge, so he would ask himself this, and Xiangnan didn't find it strange.

"Very good, those guys, all are pretty good."

Who are those guys? Zora also knows very well, but he also knows that almost few of his old friends were still at Chelsea when they were there.

"Andre, about this starter--" Zora was stunned when he said this. He didn't know what he should say.

In fact, in Italy, there is still a lot of controversy over the selection of a Chinese player like Xiangnan. Italy's racist contradiction is also a relatively famous European continent. On the Apennines, some fans think that Kasirach will recruit the national team from Nan, which is completely unnecessary.

Italy has its own best striker, so there is no need to recruit that yellow-skinned boy.

Even the head coach Kasirac, although he does not mean racism, still appreciates Xiangnan more. However, from a psychological tendency, the head coach of the Italian 19 national team is still more recognized and intimate with Italian local players.

Therefore, in this starting lineup, Paroski and Balotelli's starting lineup is not very strange.

Of course, there are also fans who recognize Xiangnan's strength and professionals in Italian football. For example, Italy's hero of the 1982 championship, Golden Boy Rossi, believes that in time, Xiangnan will be a powerful weapon on the Italian forward!!

Note that Rossi is talking about the Italian national team, not simply referring to this Italian 19 youth team.

Of course, no matter what others think, the European Cup and World Cup road to the south must start with the current 19 Blue Army!!!

Zora still didn't say much, just said, "After playing in the second half, use your physical strength and speed to perform well and prove yourself."

Xiang Nan understood the meaning of the assistant coach in front of him, his senior. Kasirach recruited himself into the national team and finally recruited himself from England to play this game. What he would definitely give him a chance to perform is just how much playing time. What he has to do now is to prepare well and prove it to everyone who doubts!!

Looking south, the gaze has been set on the San Siro Stadium at night, and the match against England 19--
Chapter completed!
