While the first team was being strengthened, the youth team was also expanding.

Since Parma had been promoted to Serie C, many local kids had joined the team.

Matteo and Rossi naturally became the elder brothers of the youth team.

Over the past year, Rossi's progress has been very obvious. After acquiring Albertini's skills, he gradually integrated his technical characteristics and showed extraordinary ability in passing.

It can be said that he has now become a rising star in the youth training camp.

Even Rossi himself did not expect that he had made such great progress in more than a year.

Youth team coach Stefano Morrone also believes that Rossi will become another rising star in Parma's youth training!

As for Matteo...

This kid seems to have clicked the wrong skill point.

Why do you, a central defender, always want to do fancy work?

Although your pass is quite accurate, you can't always think about running forward, right?

What? You still want to grab a point in the penalty area?

Come back to me!

The youth team coach Stefano Morrone was somewhat helpless.

And Mateo was equally helpless.

Because his skill points were not in the center back, he wanted to play forward!

Now he has half of Messi's passing and shooting skills, and Crespo's center forward skills, why do you want me to continue playing center back?

In fact, this is also a matter of chance.

Due to the turmoil in Parma, the coaching team of the youth team has been unstable.

A year ago, Crespo saw that Mateo had no intention of being a center back, and he wanted to talk to Alessandro, but because of his departure, the two sides never found a chance to talk.

When the new head coach Stefano Morrone took over the team, Mateo had already become the prince of the club. He received instructions from Alessandro to strictly require his son, so he could not allow Mateo to do something that seemed to be rebellious.

So, he could only continue to play as a center back.

However, on July 20, 2016, Matteo finally couldn't help but find Alessandro: "Dad, can you tell coach Morrone that I want to play forward instead."

Alessandro was stunned: "Play forward?"

Matteo said: "Yes, I want to play forward."

Alessandro looked at him carefully: "Mateo, I know that every teenager has the desire to play forward, but we can't be too ambitious, we must be down-to-earth."

He knew that his son did not have the potential to play forward. His biggest expectation for Matteo was to be able to practice a little bit as a central defender and strive to play in Parma's first team for a few years.

It happened that he recently heard Morrone say that Matteo struggled in training, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to give his son some advice.

Matteo looked at his father speechlessly: "Dad, I want to know, how long have you not paid attention to my training and games?"

Alessandro was stunned, and then he realized that he seemed to have not seen his training for a long time.

Because he was busy with games and club affairs, he rarely had the opportunity to watch the youth team's training, and he hadn't even watched his son's training this year.

Mateo said: "I still hope you can go and see my training class to see if I am suitable to play center forward."

Alessandro couldn't help but become curious. Mateo has always been very stable. He told him this matter so seriously this time, it seems that he is very sure.

Otherwise, he should go and see it himself?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help asking: "Have you had any group confrontation training recently? If so, I will let Morone arrange for you to play as a striker."

Mateo immediately became excited: "There will be an internal U18 competition at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you can come and see it."

Alessandro carefully calculated the time: "Okay, I will definitely go there at that time."

Soon, the time came to 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

Morone had received Alessandro's notice that Mateo would be arranged to play as a striker in this game.

Although he didn't want to arrange it this way, there was no other way, because his old teammate Alessandro was now the boss.

Both sides arranged a 4231 formation in this game, and Mateo was arranged in the position of a single arrow.

And his good friend Rossi was arranged in the other team.

This was also specially instructed by Alessandro. He wanted to see how Mateo, who lacked midfield support, could perform in the center position.

This would test whether he was really suitable to play as a striker.

Before the game started, Alessandro hurried over and sat on the sidelines to watch.Battle.

The young players on the field were excited when they saw the arrival of the team owner.

They knew that they had to perform well in this game to leave a deep impression on the boss.

So, from the beginning, the intensity of this game has exceeded the internal competition!

In the eleventh minute, Rossi received the ball in the midfield and dribbled past the opponent's tackle and sent a surgical pass. Domenico Rispoli understood and got a single shot through clever running. He sent the ball into the net before the goalkeeper attacked.

One to zero, Rossi's green team scored the first point!

Alessandro couldn't help but applaud.

Rossi's handling of this ball was great, worthy of being the most talented player in the youth training camp!

In the twenty-third minute, Rossi's long pass again initiated the attack. The right winger of the green team inserted a cross at high speed, and Domenico Rispoli headed the ball to score twice!

It seems that with Rossi's arrangement, the green team has a clear advantage!

Mateo, however, did not get support from his teammates and seemed to be doing nothing.

Alessandro was anxious when he saw this scene.

Although he wanted Mateo to face reality, he still hoped that Mateo could perform well on the field.

When the red team where Mateo was was trailing 0-2, Mateo made a change.

He took the initiative to retreat to the vicinity of the midfield to increase the point of passing, which made the green team a little uncomfortable.

In the 37th minute, after Mateo retreated to the midfield to get the ball, he leaned against Simone Dotti and passed the ball to the left winger Salvatore Contu, and then he quickly ran into the penalty area.

Relying on his long legs, he quickly came to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Contu had already brought the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area line. He looked up and observed the middle road, and directly chose to kick and cross!

Mateo had already seen the ball coming, he leaned against the opponent's defender, swung his left leg, and volleyed the ball!

The ball was so powerful that it went straight to the dead corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper of the green team could not react at all and could only watch the ball go into the net!

World wave!

A volley outside the penalty area!
