As the patron saint of the Italian national team, no one suspects that the 30-year-old Paliuca is currently the best goalkeeper in Italy. The rich experience and extremely outstanding basic skills he has accumulated in his more than 10 years of career make him the most stable player in the Inter Milan team. He is the only one in the team that does not have to accept the rotation system.

As the goalkeeper of Inter Milan youth team, 18-year-old Buffon has shown his superhuman potential in a series of youth competitions in the past two years. He has extremely outstanding physical fitness and superhuman reflex nerves. Currently, he is the captain of Inter Milan youth team and Italian under-18 youth team. Many experts who have been tracking Italian youth players have positioned him and another young goalkeeper Toldo as the main goalkeeper in Italy for the next 10 years.

But from the moment, Tordo is lucky enough to have firmly occupied the position of the main goalkeeper of Fiorentina. What about Buffon? Unfortunately, he cannot silently lean into the youth team under the halo of Paliuca, and continue to wait for the opportunity to come on his head.

Buffon's phenomenon is also the reason why Xiao Hua has not continued to use his advantages to explore more future geniuses since he bought a few young people in the first year. Now Xiao Hua has realized that he is not the team's head coach. If the young players don't get the chance to play, they may not be sure that these future stars can still move forward step by step towards the original trajectory of history.

But God will always give everyone a chance. Paliuka's suspension and Abbas' injury gave the young Buffon this opportunity.

But opportunities only care for those who are prepared. Is Buffon ready?

There is a saying on the football field that a good goalkeeper can match the top half of the team! Although this sentence is exaggerated to a certain extent, it does have some truth.

You might as well think about this issue from a different perspective. If "San Ming" is accidentally pulled to replace Argentina goalkeeper one day, Argentina will definitely lose at least 10 goals, and if "San Ming" is sent to replace Maradona, Argentina will not lose so much.

The goalkeeper is indeed the most special and important position on the court. No coach will easily change this position. Unless the main force is injured or in a very garbage state, there will be a chance for new players. If you are interested in looking through the information, you will find that 90% of the goalkeepers who become famous for young rely on the main force to get valuable opportunities for playing games and get a good start in one game. The goalkeeper is also the easiest way to become famous in one game among all positions on the court. This also includes Buffon in history. I wonder if Buffon can also become famous in one game.

"Gian Luigi, believe in yourself, you can do it well." On the plane to Naples, Xiao Hua sat next to Buffon. He still had a little preference for the young man Xiao Hua whom he dug up, especially he definitely did not want to destroy this talented goalkeeper who had never been born because of his appearance.

Buffon seemed a little out of place along the way, probably because he had not been with the first team stars for a long time. The young Buffon turned his head and looked at Xiao Hua with a little touching feeling: "Chairman, I still remember what you said to me when I came to the Pinetina base on the first day. At that time, you said that the task of guarding the Inter Milan gate in the future will definitely fall on me. This sentence has always inspired me to work hard and play hard. I will definitely not let you down in this game. Please rest assured. At the same time, my parents will definitely watch this game and I will dedicate my best performance to them."

Have I said this?... Why don't I remember saying this... Xiao Hua had already forgotten what he said to Buffon two years ago and his face turned slightly red. He patted Buffon on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Young man, you are so good, show yourself well. Remember that you are still young, we will forgive you no matter what."

Buffon did not answer this sentence. He didn't need others to forgive him afterwards! He believed that he could do his best! So he chose to remain silent, and he was preparing for the final preparation for the game.

In the 21st round of the league, Inter Milan came to Naples, the southernmost end of the Apennine Peninsula. A few years ago, the local proud Naples team also had superstars such as Maradona and Kareka. They even snatched the league championship under the siege of northern powers. Unfortunately, Naples has completely sunk and has barely succeeded in relegation last season. From the current perspective, relegation may have been inevitable this season.

However, no one was willing to sentence themselves to death before the last moment. Today, when Inter Milan was met with "no goalkeeper", a glimmer of hope surged in Naples' desperate heart. Perhaps it was not without a chance in this game. The two forwards in the team, Pizzi and Agostini, also vowed to the local media before the game that they would leave an unforgettable impression on their opponent's child goalkeeper in this game.

"Boxien has kicked up! Shoot!" Less than 2 minutes into the game, Napoli's midfielder core Booxien took a long shot from 30 meters away from the goal. This powerful and heavy shot made the commentator shout for the first time.

Although the shooting force was very strong, the angle was not sloppy. Buffon moved a few steps under his feet, and without taking off, he held the ball firmly in his arms.

Buffon, holding the ball, looked at the frontcourt, and directly assisted for a few steps and threw the ball with his full strength and launched a quick counterattack.

"Today, both Inter Milan goalkeepers were injured or suspended by accident. Wenger had to send 18-year-old youth goalkeeper Buffon. People were very concerned about how he would perform in this game. Judging from the save just now, his current mentality is very stable, but the game is still long. Let's see if he can continue to block Napoli's offense next." The commentator quickly made his comments using the gap between offense and defense conversion.

Buffon's hand throwing power was very strong, and the ball flew directly to Bertie's feet near the center circle. After Bertie stopped the ball, he observed and found that it was a very good opportunity to counterattack. He quickly dribbled the ball forward without hesitation.

A very beautiful man passed the ball, and Bertie passed a defender and drew a high ball into the penalty area with his left foot near the left side of the penalty area. The ball went straight to the center of the penalty area. The opponent's defensive core Ayala, who was standing in front, jumped high and rubbed the ball, causing the ball to change direction.

Ronaldo in the penalty area is not an ordinary player, he is a real genius! Faced with the incoming ball that changed the landing point, he quickly adjusted, from preparing to jump with his feet to jumping up sideways, and shot directly in the air with his left foot! The goalkeeper of Napoli had no response to such a shot, and the ball went straight to the bottom of the net cleanly.

1:0 Inter Milan started less than 5 minutes after the team's first attack, and knocked on the opponent's door.

The players in the frontcourt were excitedly chasing Ronaldo who was running in the field, while the players in the backcourt all gave Buffon warm applause. Captain Bergomi also ran over and patted Buffon on the shoulder and encouraged: "Young man! Good!" Buffon's hand-splash attack made Inter Milan score the first goal.

The Naples players were obviously angry at this goal that was so fast and a little inexplicable. After re-teletting, they roared and rushed towards Inter Milan's goal.

However, their strength is really limited, and there are very few opportunities to attack Inter Milan's penalty area. They can only test the young Buffon through long shots. In the next 30 minutes, the Naples players shot a heavy gun from all angles of Inter Milan's half to Buffon's guarding goal! They believe that this young goalkeeper will definitely make a mistake. Since he cannot enter Inter Milan's penalty area, he can solve it with long shots!

Unfortunately, 30 minutes passed and their shots failed. The young Buffon easily resolved his opponent's shots one by one after another.

"Good! It seems that Buffon is very mentally stable today. He performed very normally today, and there was no mistake Naples expected!" The commentator also jumped out at the right time and praised Buffon. It was already amazing that such a young goalkeeper could perform in such a stable manner.

Naples' strength is really average. Although Buffon did not make any mistakes in defense today, he did not perform well. However, he did unexpectedly make a good result in offense! Inter Milan's first goal was half of his contribution, but he didn't expect that this was not over.

In the 45th minute of the first half, the opponent received a corner kick. Buffon jumped high and steadily caught the ball sent by his opponent, and then rushed through the players of both sides in the penalty area to the edge of the penalty area.

With a "touch!", Buffon's ball with a big foot flew directly to the Naples half with a high arc. In order to seize the last chance of the first half, most of the Naples players occupied Inter Milan's half.

After Baggio got the ball, he saw that there was only one defensive player in front of him. He directly swung the ball and then led the defender with three shots. He easily dunked through the empty goal against the goalkeeper and entered the net.

2:0 Inter Milan secured the victory in the first half.

The young Buffon quickly launched the offense and scored another goal. The whole team ran over excitedly to congratulate the little brother. As the vice captain, Baggio also ran back to the backcourt with a smile on his face and excitedly picked up Buffon.

Napoli, who lost his fighting spirit in the second half, seemed listless on the court, and there were very few threatening attacks, so Buffon could only helplessly become a spectator on the court. Being in a strong team is sometimes a good thing for goalkeepers who want to make a comeback. If he had not launched two offenses in this game, Buffon might not have been remembered by most people at all. Maybe this is fate! He was very lucky to have two goals as a goalkeeper.

This special result also caused him to be reported in the newspaper on the second day. Coach Wenger really praised him after the game and promised to continue to arrange him as the main goalkeeper in the next two games against the weak team.

In the end, Inter Milan won the game 3:0, and did not allow the shadow of the previous defeat to continue to spread.

In the next round of the league, Inter Milan faced Torino at home. Wenger fulfilled his promise and continued to let Buffon be the main goalkeeper, while Paliuka regained his strength to prepare for the 16-8 matches in the League Cup against the Scottish Celtics in three days.

In this game, Buffon continued his stable performance. From his performance on the court, he was not sure that he was an 18-year-old player. Torino, who was trying to find a breakthrough from him, returned disappointed again. Relying on the goals of Lombardo and captain Bergomi, Inter Milan easily won 2:0.

After this game, news that made Inter Milan even more excited came. AC Milan was blocked in the match against Roma. The 0:2 loss and 3 points also narrowed the gap between Inter Milan and him to 2 points again. Originally, because of his defeat against Piacencha, Inter Milan had been blocked by AC Milan by 5 points.

Juventus, ranked third, has not performed very well in the last three rounds. The result of 1 win and 2 draws has caused him to lose his third place. Roma replaced him and squeezed into the third place. However, the gap between him and Inter Milan has reached 6 points. It seems that the championship of this season will occur among two Milan City teams, which is the first time in the past 10 years. At least half of Milan City fans will have a chance to celebrate the victory as soon as the season ends.

Scotland's Grass Song, Inter Milan had to fly to this cold place to face the challenge of local giants Celtics at a critical moment in the competition for the league championship.

Although Scotland's football level is not very good in Europe, the Celtics, a local super strong team, still has certain strength. Although he has been suppressed by his opponents in the same city in the past 10 years, Xiao Hua knew very well that he would completely suppress the wanderers in a few years. At this point, he is still worthy of Inter Milan's learning. At least Inter Milan failed to completely suppress AC Milan like him.

The game itself has nothing to say about. The difference between the Celtics' level and Inter Milan is very huge. Although their fighting and enthusiasm for the game are very high, football still pays attention to strength. Soon Inter Milan used its skillful skills to make their opponents play together.

Inter Milan won a complete victory 4:0, and it should be said that he has entered the quarterfinals of the League Cup this year, but his opponent in the next round is difficult to play. Real Madrid in Spain is waiting for the arrival of the Nerazzurri at the quarterfinals.

When the team is fighting on the field, the club staff also has no time to spare, especially Inter Milan is currently in a violent transformation, and the club staff has a very large workload, so working overtime is inevitable.

"Jaccinto, are you still working?" Xiao Hua, who was about to leave the office and go home at around 9 pm, found that the lights were still on in Fachetti's office, turned around and knocked on the door and walked in.

Fachetti raised his head, took a deep breath with the cigarette in his hand, and replied, "Masco, come and sit down. There is still something that has not been dealt with. Now we are doing well. The team members on the team have become drops of sweet honey. The team outside is like a group of thirsty bees. I have to deal with the purchase intentions of 10 clubs every day."

"Have you worked so late every day recently?" Looking at the cigarette butts in the ashtray, Xiao Hua asked a little worriedly. Fachetti is not a 20-year-old man like him. He is over fifty years old and always keeps going like this.

Fachetti smiled heartily: "I'm used to it, and I can't sleep even if I go back early. There are too many things in the club and I can't feel at ease."

"Jacinto, you smoke too much. Look at the ashtray in front of you. This is not good. Also, the coffee you usually drink is too strong. If you continue to stay up late every day, your body will not be able to bear it. In the past, you were an athlete, your health would be fine, but now it's different. I think you don't exercise much. Well, now it's almost 10 o'clock, let's leave. Tomorrow I will arrange a few secretary to give you some things to the secretary to deal with." Xiao Hua found that Fachetti in front of him was much older than when he saw him two years ago, and he felt a little bit of self-blame and uneasy.

Fachetti smiled slightly, continued to light a cigarette, and said, "I'm not at ease with some things to the secretary. OK, Musco, I know, you go back first, I'll leave in about half an hour."

Xiao Hua said seriously: "Jacinto, since I met you, I have regarded you as my relative, and I am also an elder who deserves my respect. But today I found that you have grown a lot because of this job. From the beginning, I vaguely wondered whether I should put you in such a position. I am not trying to say that you are old, I just want to say that some things cannot be like when people reach a certain age. I really don't want to see you stay up late to work overtime. I hope you know that I care about you very much!"

Fachetti's eyes were a little wet, and he walked up to him and touched Xiao Hua's head kindly, and said kindly: "Masco, it is Inter Milan's luck to sit in this position as the chairman. I have seen the glory of Inter Milan right in front! I just hope to use my experience behind you to help you and help the Inter Milan club. As for your body, I know my own situation. Do you see when something went wrong with my body? Don't worry! I will pay attention in the future and you can go back first. I have something to do. I haven't finished dealing with it yet. I will go back in half an hour."

"No, you have to go back with me now. I'll send you back today. You haven't eaten yet, are you? We both went to find a restaurant together, and we haven't had dinner together for a long time."

"How about tomorrow! This matter is really important today."

"There is no tomorrow! I decided not to let you continue to serve as vice chairman tomorrow!" Xiao Hua suddenly said something like a bolt from the blue to Fachetti, and from Xiao Hua's serious expression, it was not like a joke.

"What? How do you do Musco?" Fachetti asked blankly.

"Yes, I decided not to let you continue to serve as Vice Chairman. I'm not kidding! I can only continue to let you take this position unless you promise me two conditions."

"Two conditions? How do you pull it from Musco?"

"Unless you promised me to quit cigarettes and black coffee, and promised me to accompany me to the stadium every week." Xiao Hua said with an extremely serious expression.

"this……"

"Is Inter Milan attracting you? Or is it that cigarettes and coffee attracting you?"

"Of course it's Inter Milan!" Fachetti blurted out.

"Then you agree to my conditions!"

"But... it's hard to quit." Fachetti also knew that Musco in front of him was for his own good, but it was not easy to quit these two things.

"It doesn't matter, can you take it slowly? For example, starting tomorrow, you will reduce it from 2 packs of cigarettes to 1 pack every day. I will complete the task. I will slowly reduce it from half pack to finally quit. Can you agree? "

"This... OK promise you, hey, I have devoted all my youth for Inter Milan. I didn't expect that even the habit of smoking would be quit for Inter Milan." Fachetti smiled bitterly.

"Haha! These two things of Jacinto are not good for you, but only good for quitting. I will keep observing you. Don't smoke secretly. I decided to supervise your quit in the name of Inter Milan. Don't smoke secretly at the price of offending Inter Milan! You swear quickly in the name of Inter Milan!" Xiao Hua smiled and looked at Fachetti, who was a little helpless.

"Masco, you! OK, I promise to quit cigarettes and black coffee in the name of Inter Milan!" Fachetti said, smiling and shook his head. He was about to reach out to continue to hold the cigarette, but suddenly he thought of something and smiled bitterly and retracted his hand.

Xiao Hua looked at Fachetti's action and smiled knowingly. He was such a cute old man. He probably couldn't match his love for Inter Milan.

"Okay, let's go, Jacinto, I'll take you to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. The Chinese food there is very delicious. After eating, I promise you will fall in love with Chinese food!"

"There is no way to do it to you, who is the boss? Alas, you are still led by your nose when you are young, but this Sunday I will definitely teach you a good lesson on the court and let you see the strength of the world's best left-back." Fachetti also joked.

"Don't give you any hope. I was a famous Italian star of hope back then. Let's take a look on Sunday. I will definitely let you see what a player who is a perfect combination of speed, technology and strength is." Xiao Hua bragged with his chest.

The jokes between the two made them both amused, and they laughed so hard that they intimately brought in a lot of intimacy between them.

"How to pull! How to pull! Have you forgotten the promise made in the name of Inter Milan just now?" Fachetti was about to pick up the coffee on the table when Xiao Hua's voice appeared in his ears.
Chapter completed!
