Chapter 15 David Thornton
Before the start of the game, there is still a simple opening ceremony. Under the leadership of the captain, the players from both sides shake hands with the referee team and the opponent players one by one. Then the two captains exchange team flags, and then under the organization of the referee, they guess coins to choose the side to decide which side kicks off first.

After everything was over, the Turin team kicked off the ball first in the first half, and the players of both sides stood in their respective positions. Only when the referee blew the whistle, the game officially began.

Since Dominique is still injured, Loreto gave him a chance last time, but the coach was disappointed again, so today, coach Pigino simply asked Zhu Hantao to play as a single striker.

The Turin team formed a 4-5-1 formation with a single arrow Zhu Hantao, the left and right midfielders were Daniel Bernardo and Mattia Lerda, three midfield captains Stefano Capelupo, Mark Rousseau and one was the midfielder Vincenzo Nitrid.

The four defenders from left to right are Rafael Mazza, Manuel Varatti, Diego Benedetti, Luca Avanzi, and goalkeeper Mioni.

On the other hand, Inter Milan has formed a 4-4-2 lineup, with Bashen Balotelli on the forward line, and in a few days later, he may be referred to the first team to participate in the game.

Balotelli's striker partner is Macedonian striker Golan Slavkovski.

The central midfielders are Francisco Bolzoni and Rene Corsin, with Luca Siligardi on the left and Coelho on the right.

What is worth mentioning on the back line is David Thornton, who has just been promoted to the u19s. The talented young man who was still playing the core of the midfield before has been transformed into a right back this season.

Central defender Ivan Fatić is partnered with Dennis Esposito. This Dennis has the same surname as the head coach, and I don't know what the relationship is.

In the end there was Fabio Perisinoto at left back, with goalkeeper Wade Berech.

As the game started, Inter Milan's live commentary introduced the starting lineups of the two sides to the audience, and the battle was about to start.

After all, it is a rich family, even the youth team has a commentary on the scene, Zhu Hantao couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The Turin team advanced with the ball in the midfield. Capelupo observed the position of his teammates and was just about to pass the ball.

The captain of the Turin team was shoveled away with the ball. When he rubbed his butt and stood up from the grass, he found that Inter Milan had already attacked his own penalty area.

"Hey! What's the situation, isn't this a foul?" Capelupo raised his hand in protest while running back quickly.

The referee ignored his protest, maybe he thought that the tackle just now tackled the ball first, it was clean and not fouled.

There was applause from the crowd in the stands, whether it was for the referee or for Borzoni, who opened with a fierce tackle.

Borzoni took the ball to the penalty area and was blocked, so he split the ball to the wing and Siligardi took the ball.

Luca went to meet him, and the Inter wide player passed the ball before he could go up. Rene received the ball at the top of the penalty area.

Rene wanted to take a long shot himself, he has a good free kick and a long shot.

The central defender on Turin's side could only jump out to defend, preventing him from getting a chance to shoot.

After hesitating for a while, Rene saw Balotelli, who was actively running, reaching out for the ball, and sent the ball lightly. The through ball instantly penetrated the Turin team's defense.

Bashen faced the goalkeeper in the penalty area and scored a single goal!
The black striker of the Inter Milan youth team did not think about life, glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and kicked a far corner.

Mioni fell to the ground and tried his best to save the ball but failed to touch the ball with his fingertips. "Shua!" The football hit the net.

"Rene sent a beautiful through ball from outside the penalty area. Mario got a chance to score a one-handed ball. What will he do against Torino's goalkeeper Mioni? Oh! Calm shot, he pushed a far corner!"

"The goal went in, it went in, it went in!" The on-site commentary suddenly became excited, "It was Mario... Balotelli who scored the goal for us!"

"It's so beautiful, it's beautiful!"

"Wow! That's awesome!"

"Mario! I love you!"

"That's it, abuse them!"

Because of this goal, the atmosphere of the audience was high.

"what?"

"what happened?"

Just as the Inter Milan players were celebrating the goal, the line referee raised the flag. After communicating with the line referee, the referee blew his whistle to signal that the goal was invalid and offside. It was a goal kick for the Torino team.

Balotelli is like a frost-beaten eggplant—withered, he was still excitedly celebrating his goal with his teammates just now, but he didn't expect to be blown away.

At this time, the commentator's regretful voice came from the radio, "Our goal just now was disallowed by the referee. It may be slightly offside. The referee is too strict."

The head coach of the Inter Milan youth team, Vincenzo Esposito, was picking up a water bottle to drink water. When he saw his goal was blown by the referee, he angrily smashed the water bottle to the ground.

The fourth official, whose body was splashed with water, looked at Vincenzo who was angry over there, and said nothing, but wrote something in his little notebook.

Seeing this comic scene, Zhu Hantao heaved a sigh of relief. This game was not easy to play in the first place. If the opponent scored a goal at the beginning, then he really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, the ball was offside.

Coach Pigino sat on the sidelines with a blank expression on his face, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, but when Coach Esposito got angry, he couldn't help but secretly smiled.

"Go forward! Run forward!" Mioni held the football in his hand and asked his teammates to press forward quickly. Seeing that the Turin players had all run to their positions, he took the ball with his big foot.

The football flew past the half-court and began to fall near the middle circle. Zhu Hantao stared at the football in the air and ran towards its landing point.

Zhu Hantao, who focused all his attention on the football, grabbed the point, but he didn't pay attention to the enemy players behind him.

Zhu Hantao stopped the ball with his chest, and the football fell obediently to his feet. At this moment, Borzoni came from diagonally behind and made another fierce tackle.

Fortunately, Zhu Hantao reacted quickly enough and found out in time. He pulled the ball and turned around to avoid the opponent's tackle smartly. He looked up and saw that no teammates were in place to respond, so he had to take the ball forward by himself.

But Inter Milan didn't intend to give him a comfortable chance to get the ball at all. After all, their head coach had already boasted about Haikou before the game and said that Zhu Hantao would definitely be seen to death. Of course, there must be targeted measures.

That's right, central defender Dennis rushed straight towards Zhu Hantao, and Zhu Hantao didn't play one-on-one with him, and passed the ball to the side.

Daniel cut in at high speed on the left, got the football first, tried to cross, and was cleared by David Thornton out of the touchline.

Speaking of the player David Thornton, it also made many people sigh.He became famous at a young age and performed well in both the Italian youth team and the Inter Milan youth training echelon. Later, in order to play in the first team, under the discovery of the coach, he switched to the left wing, and was once all-around left and right.

Not long after, Thornton played well in the Inter Milan first team, and because of his right-footed left-back characteristics, he was regarded by many Italian fans and experts as the next Paul Maldini.

This is a player who represents Inter Milan's first-team team. It can be said that according to the normal development trend, there should be a place for him in professional football in the future.

However, things are impermanent, and the subsequent development of Inter Milan's "Prince" David Thornton is far from reaching his due level.

In short, this new generation of talented Italian full-back who had been placed with high hopes gradually fell silent in his later career due to various reasons such as injuries.

Having said that, there are geniuses every year, and Melo is there. What kind of height a player can reach depends on many aspects, whether it is talent, hard work, self-discipline, or even a certain amount of luck.

There are too many stories about Shang Zhongyong, and outsiders will be filled with emotion when they read it, but they don't know how they themselves will feel as the parties involved.

Let’s not go too far and talk about the game. Turin full-back Mazza came up to serve a throw-in, and the midfielder Nitrid stepped forward to respond. After receiving the ball, he took two steps and was stopped by the opponent player. He passed the ball to Capelupo and then ran forward suddenly.

Capelupo sent the ball back in time, and Zhu Hantao also rushed into the penalty area.

Nitrid sent a straight kick, Zhu Hantao shook off Dennis and got the ball, "Bang!"

"Let's look at this attack from Torino, where Vincenzo Nitrid and Capelupo played a two-for-one, past our Borzoni,"

"Nitrid sent a through ball, Zhu got the ball and shot! The post made it! With the help of the post, Berech received the ball."

Zhu Hantao was a little disappointed that he almost scored a goal, but he didn't take it too seriously and still had a chance.

On the contrary, his teammates hugged their heads in annoyance when they saw the shot hit the post.

Coach Pigino had already clenched his fist to cheer for Zhu Hantao's goal, but let it down helplessly.

The players of the Inter Milan youth team who had escaped, did not dare to take it lightly and concentrated their attention.

Coach Vincenzo shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Play more aggressively, press up, press up! Attack me!"

Inter goalkeeper Wade Bereci kicked the ball wide, and midfielder Borzoni grabbed the first point before handing the ball to Rene.

Rene took advantage of the situation twice and then sent a straight kick to the Macedonian striker. Golan and Mario both hit the goal, and the Torino central defender reacted a little slower.

While both centre-backs were focusing on Goranslavkowski, who had the ball, he crossed inadvertently and Balotelli fired without stopping the ball.

The football flew into the goal in a blink of an eye, and Mioni could do nothing to watch the ball enter the net.

"Wade kicks off, Bolzoni, Borzoni gets the ball, he immediately passes the ball to Rene, Rene goes forward, Rene goes through! Golan! Golan has the ball in the box, he can hit the goal! Cross! Mario! Mario shot! Goal!"

"Beautiful combination! Perfect goal! Mario-Balotelli!"

Bashen took the lead in scoring a goal for the Inter Milan youth team at home.
