Chapter 83 Master Dong Comments on Italian U19 Players
意大利时间的2011年10月6日晚上九点，意大利U19国家队迎来了U19欧青赛资格赛的第一场比赛，而意大利U19国家队的第一个对手则是罗马尼亚U19国家队，这也是U19欧青赛C组的揭幕战。

As far as the strength of the team is concerned, the Italian U19 national team is much better than the Romanian U19 national team. After the opening game of Group C, the Italian fans at this time remembered that the saying that there are no underdogs in Europe applies to most European national teams.

面对实力远不如自己的罗马尼亚U19国家队，佐拉托带领的意大利U19国家队在U19欧青赛的资格赛第一场比赛中就迎来了球队的看门黑，意大利U19国家队1：2的比分不敌罗马尼亚U19国家队。

After the game, Zolato, as the head coach, also talked to the media reporters about the reason for the loss of the game, because most of the U19 players had just finished the club game, and then rushed to the training base non-stop.

However, the defeat in the first game did not affect Zolato's confidence in the team. He believes that the boys under his command will win the next two games and then advance from the qualifying group.

Two days after the end of the first match, the start time of the second qualifying match was also at 19:19 pm. The Italian U703 national team played against the second opponent, the Swedish U[-] national team. In the first match, Wang Zi did not get the chance to play, but today, head coach Zolato gave Wang Zi a chance to substitute.

Wang Zi, who came on as a substitute, did not help the team to expand the score, and at the end of the game, the Swedish U19 national team seized the opportunity to score a free kick and staged a perfect show. In the end, the Italian U19 national team had to shake hands with the Swedish U19 national team, and the two teams each scored a group point.

The last U19 European Youth Championship qualifying match came as scheduled at nine o’clock in the evening on October 2011, 10. In Group C, except for the Romanian U11 national team, which won both games, the remaining three teams are on the same starting line with one point. Therefore, for the three teams, they all hope to advance to the next round of qualifiers as No.19 in the group today. Therefore, tonight’s result is very important. The three teams will definitely go all out to compete for this group No.2.

The Italian U19 national team will face the Azerbaijan U19 national team in the third game. Both the head coach Zolato and the players who are about to play have shown a strong desire to win today's game, because no one in the entire Italian U19 national team is willing to stop at the qualifying stage. This is definitely a great shame for the team.

After 10 and 19 minutes of hard work, with the hard work of the Italian U19 players, the team finally ushered in the only victory in three games. The Italian U3 national team 1:19 Azerbaijan U19 national team. Verratti and Beretta, who started the game, made contributions to the team.

同小组的另外一场比赛中，瑞典U19国家队0：0罗马尼亚U19国家队，没能取得胜利的瑞典U19国家队也只能将晋级的资格让给了意大利U19国家队。

The Romanian U19 national team and the Italian U19 national team, which have advanced in Group C, will compete with other teams qualifying for the U19 European Youth Championship in May next year. At that time, all representative teams will be divided into seven groups. Four teams in each group will compete for eight places in the U2012 European Youth Championship in July 19. The host of this event is Estonia.

In the editorial office of "China Football News" in Shanghai.

"If it weren't for winning Azerbaijan in the end, I almost thought Italy would be eliminated."

Thinking of the Italian U19 national team's near-miss promotion in the U19 European Youth Championship qualifiers, Ren Xiaoke sweated for the head coach Zolato.

"Haha, I think you are worried that if Italy U19 loses the game, then Wang Zi must have no chance to continue to perform in U19." As Ren Xiaoke's immediate team leader, Shen Tian didn't give his subordinates any face.

"Hey..." Ren Xiaoke was not annoyed at all when his little thoughts were exposed, and he had a "that's it" expression on his face, and he didn't hide it at all.

Shen Tian was not surprised by Ren Xiaoke's appearance for a long time, and then talked about Wang Zi, saying: "Wang Zi performed really well last night and scored a goal, but whether he can participate in the U19 European Youth Championship in the next stage depends on whether the head coach Zolato approves Wang Zi's performance in these two games. In fact, I think Wang Zi can go to the Italian U17 national team to stay first. Among the same age group, Wang Zi must be a thigh-level presence in the team."

"Well, that's not bad." Ren Xiaoke still agreed.

"It doesn't make much sense to be in the Italian U17, and it's useless for Wang Zi to stay. If his strength is recognized, it's best to stay in the Italian U19 or move forward. Just like Balotelli did at the beginning, he went to the Italian U21 national team. Facing a group of opponents bigger than himself, Balotelli still played at the thigh level. After that, he was called by the adult national team without any surprises."

When the two were talking about Wang Zi, Dong Bo, the head of the Italian football editorial team, joined the conversation as usual. Dong Bo always wanted to share his own opinions on any topic related to Italian football.

"Well, this is a good idea, but whether Wang Zi can continue to stay in the Italian U19 is not up to us. We are just worrying about it here, can we really make Zolato listen to us?" Shen Tian shrugged.

Dong Bo was noncommittal.

"Boge, what do you think of the Italian U19 national team?" Ren Xiaoke asked a question that he has been concerned about. He knows a lot about Italian football, but Ren Xiaoke doesn't pay attention to the outstanding Italian young players below the senior team. Now there is an expert who has comprehensively dabbled in Italian football. Naturally, Ren Xiaoke can't let go of this opportunity.

Shen Tian will also vote for Wang Zi.

After all, Dong Bo knew the Italian football team best in the entire editorial room, just like if someone wanted to ask about French football, the person who asked would definitely ask Shen Tian.

"Well, judging from these few games alone, some people may not have high expectations for this Italian U19, but I am on the contrary. I am looking forward to the future of this group of guys, because there are actually quite a lot of good seedlings in this Italian U19 national team."

"In the goalkeeper position, Zolato chose Bardi from Inter Milan's youth team and Leali from Brescia. Bardi jumped to the Italian U21 national team two months ago and made his debut in the Italian U[-] national team. I read a report in the Italian press that praised Leali as the 'Iker Casillas of Italy', which was an exaggeration."

Taking a sip of coffee, Dong Bo continued: "Next is the defense line. The defense lines of Italian national brands at all levels, without the top strength in the same age group, cannot be selected at all, because this is Italian football! Reinforced concrete defense line!"

"However, among them, there are only two people I am optimistic about. One is Biraghi who has become famous at a young age and has already represented Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League. The other is Camporese from Florence. Starting from Italy's U16, Camporese has hardly missed any call-up to the national youth team. Moreover, Camporese also ranked second in the selection of the best local youth defender in Italy this year, second only to Inter Milan's Ranocchia."

"In terms of midfield, except for one Inter Milan's Crisetig, the others are capable but not outstanding. Verratti is an excellent midfielder, but I don't understand Zolato and wants him to stay on the front line."

"The focus is still on the front line. I won't talk about Wang Zi. I skipped to Italy U19. Just talking about Wang Zi, you are more familiar than me, aren't you?"

Shen Tian and Ren Xiaoke looked at each other and smiled, what Dong Bo said was right, they loved to hear it.

Dong Bo followed with a smile, and continued: "Verratti has been Pescara's starting candidate since the start of Serie B this season. As I said before, Verratti is actually more of a central midfielder. I really think he is a midfielder and has the potential to become a top midfielder."

"Furthermore, there is Verdi, he is the top player of the AC Milan youth team, because the midfielder of the AC Milan youth team is relatively mediocre, and most of the time the attack is entirely based on the super personal ability of the striker. Among them, Verdi's personal breakthroughs and passing The ball almost drove more than half of the team's offensive. I think his style is similar to Di Natale.

"Like Verdi, Beretta is the top card of AC Milan's youth team. Beretta is known as 'Little Vieri'. He came off the bench against Bologna in the league this season and has outstanding potential. In the AC Milan youth team, because of Verdi's brave performance, people seem to have forgotten Beretta, but this does not mean that Beretta has no strength. Compared with most people calling him 'Little Vieri', I actually agree with his teacher Vallotti. Valotti thinks Beretta is more like Inzaghi , also a bit like Gilardino."

"Finally, let's talk about Al Shalawi. This is a genius among geniuses. Before Wang Zi, I always thought that Shalawi was the most talented young genius who was closest to Balotelli. At the age of 16 years and 1 month, Shalawi made his first-team debut on behalf of Genoa. This is the youngest Serie A appearance record for the Genoa club since 1893."

"And like Camporese, Shalawi started from the Italian U16 and hardly missed any call-ups to the first-tier national youth team. I heard that AC Milan has been paying attention to Shalawi for a long time, and may give this talent a contract next summer."

"Shalawi..."

After three qualifying matches, the two-week international competition day has also come to an end.

After Wang Zi simply packed his luggage, he went home first, stayed at home for a day, and accompanied his parents. Wang Ping cooked a sumptuous Chinese meal for his son. Although he did not inherit the family's Chinese restaurant like his elder brother, Wang Ping's Chinese food level was personally taught by his father, but it was definitely not as good as that of his elder brother who was taught by the old man.

Early the next morning, after seeing off his parents, Wang Zicai returned to the club from Italy.

(PS: Most of the players in this batch of Italian U19 national team are actually quite good, and many of them have also played. The kicked out here does not mean that they have become superstars, but that they are now playing in Italy or other national leagues, but they are not as expected by many fans, especially Verdi, Beretta and Shalawi. Shalawi only joined Shanghai Shenhua a few days ago. Great. Also, finally returned to the league, please continue to watch Wang Zi's big fight in Ligue 19.)
