Chapter 111

Rafael, who spent a lot of money on construction projects at home, but didn't blink, had his first European game, the UEFA Cup, before the shooting range at home was completely remodeled.

We're going to take a moment here to explain the UEFA Champions Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup.

They are collectively referred to as the three major European cups, representing the highest level of European football clubs.

The most gold content is undoubtedly the European Champions Cup, also known as the Big Ears Cup.Even though the UEFA Champions League was restructured in 1992 and will continue to expand in the future, it is the trophy most desired by European football clubs at any time.

The European Cup Winners' Cup is a competition that only the champions of the major cup competitions of UEFA member countries can participate in, such as Spain's King's Cup champion and England's FA Cup champion.

And in that era when only the league champions of various countries could participate in the European Champions Cup, and the turnover rate was extremely high, the UEFA Cup received far less attention than the future UEFA Europa League (UEFA Europa League), and its influence was second only to the UEFA Champions League. .

The era of the three cups is coming to an end, and the gold content will be different.And the source of all this is actually because of the good things done by the "Premier League".

The owners of English football clubs got together and withdrew from League One, which is run by the FA. In the 92/93 season, 20 teams formed the Premier League.In the face of reality, the FA had to bow its head.

After the establishment of the Premier League, the huge benefits brought by the new broadcast distribution income to the Premier League teams made other European football giants yearn for it, and began to explore the possibility of forming a European Super League.

Who is the person who put forward this great "idea"?

It is Silvio Berlusconi, chairman of the AC Milan club, Rupert Murdoch, the rich man who is eager to buy Manchester United, and Kirsch, the rich man.

The three of them have one thing in common: they are all media tycoons.

How could UEFA allow them to get their hands on this sweet cake?

Therefore, UEFA's efficiency is surprisingly high this time, and it has to act first to carry out reforms.

In 1998, UEFA decided to cancel the European Cup Winners' Cup in the 99/00 season and reform the European Champions Cup and UEFA Cup.

The football clubs of European member countries are ranked according to their national league results. Each member country can send 1-4 teams to participate in the European Champions Cup; in the Champions Cup, there are two stages of group round-robin matches. The No. 3 can also continue to participate in the UEFA Cup. ? 【1】

In order to compete with UEFA and compete for the right to speak, in September 2000, G9 (European Football League) was established!

Who is there?

首先就是不知道为什么会出现在这个尴尬名单内的巴黎圣日耳曼(法国)、1986年欧冠冠军波尔图(葡萄牙)、1988年欧冠冠军埃因霍温(荷兰)、1992年欧冠冠军巴塞罗那(西班牙)、1993年欧冠冠军马赛(法国)、1997年欧冠冠军多特蒙德(德国)、2夺欧冠的国际米兰(意大利)、2夺欧冠的尤文图斯(意大利)、2夺欧冠的曼联(英格兰)、3夺欧冠的拜仁慕尼黑(德国)、4夺欧冠的阿贾克斯(荷兰)、4夺欧冠的利物浦、5夺欧冠的AC米兰(意大利)、6夺欧冠的皇家马德里(西班牙)。

Of these 14 teams, 13 of them are Champions League champions, and the energy they generate is enormous.

But although the gold content of the UEFA Cup has not shrunk, the old Robson not only attaches great importance to the upcoming game (because they first host and then away, and a big home win is beneficial to the away game), he also showed the ambition of a rich coach——

Before the game, he released the news of Ronaldo's injury. On the day of the game, when the starting lineup was announced, Ronaldo's name was not in the starting 11!

Even the happy Brazilians seem a little unhappy, but the old Robson has his own way of coaxing Ronaldo. Ronaldo, who was also plagued by injuries last year, can only calm down.

But even without Ronaldo, Inter Milan still defeated Simakos Club from the Swiss League 4:0 at home, which provided convenience for the away game in the second round.

Because of Ronaldo's absence, Rafael took on more offensive tasks in this game. Goals were the only requirement Robson had for him before the game.

Under such circumstances, on September 1997, 9, Raphael finally ushered in his first European game, which was the first leg of the UEFA Cup 11/1 final.

In the home game, Raphael has a heavy responsibility, which made him cheered by the fans wave after wave at the beginning of the warm-up. Some fans even pulled a Tifo in the North Stand—although the size is not the one that covers the entire stand, But also big enough.

Raphael on Tifo is wearing a suit and kicking fiercely. Any man who has watched the video will understand this scene.

Raphael got a lot of nicknames related to "Egg", but no one dared to mention it in front of him, but YSL's men's clothing line received huge attention because of Raphael!

Because compared to those nicknames related to eggs, "Suit Maniac" is obviously much more handsome.Because of this increasingly famous nickname, the suit that Raphael was wearing received a wave of extremely high attention.

According to Oriol, this is equivalent to having a living "Bond" to help YSL advertise.

Although the first cooperation with Hodi Slimane was not pleasant, and the tight suit he wore when he attended the signing conference made him irritable, but after being called back three times by them, YSL gave a A lucrative contract with a price so high that Oriol almost hugged him.

Raphael has just returned a large sum of money, but he is still short of money. Considering that YSL’s promotional work is not very annoying, and Hodi Slimane promised not to let him wear such restrictive clothes again, Raphael decided to go with him YSL renewed the contract for 2 years.

On this home match day, Raphael will naturally not disappoint the old Robson and the fans. He scored his first hat-trick at San Siro in just 23 minutes.So that the old gentleman had to replace Rafael when the game reached 60 minutes!

The disciple was so outstanding, but the old gentleman couldn't praise him—since the last press conference, the old Robson was also afraid of Rafael's "big mouth" in the interview.

Under such circumstances, the old Robson would rather not take Raphael to face the short-sighted shots of the media reporters. This kid really doesn't like to be in the limelight.

As a result, the old Robson left happily and returned disappointed.

Reporters caught him asking a bunch of questions about Ronaldo's injuries, and when they asked about Rafael's situation, the topic had nothing to do with today's game, even though the kid did a damn good job!Those reporters actually asked him about guns!

How did he know what gun was the problem?

Mourinho knows it, but sometimes "pretending to be confused" is also a way of responding, and this question is really difficult to answer.

That's why he explained to the old man on the way, "I read in the news that Raphael's bodyguards declared some shotguns and pistols from the Italian gun manufacturer XXX company. They didn't hesitate to crawl around his house. The reporter staying in the tree reported that they saw red smoke from a flying saucer in the backyard of Rafael’s house from a distance, and suspected that Rafael was playing with a flying saucer at home with a shotgun and used a gun.”

Old Robson: "..."

Even though he is a gentleman, at this moment, he still wants to say, what a fucking worry-free child!

"Is it okay?" he asked Mourinho. "Should Massimo ask the lawyer?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. Although he is a minor now, it should be fine if he is under guardianship. But the media is hyping up this matter, so these guys are booing and want to see Rafael shoot. Of course, they may also be curious, you got it."

Old Robson wants to say that I don't understand!

I, a person who has experienced air raids in World War II, don't want to understand at all!

When old Robson came back from the post-match press conference, he saw everyone in the locker room booing.

Because he couldn't understand, he waited patiently for Mourinho to tell him what happened.

After dozens of seconds, Mourinho said to him: "They heard that Rafael's bodyguard's gun license had come down, and wanted to go to his house to watch the fun, but Rafael refused. He said they are welcome to visit his house , but if he wants to play with guns, he does not agree."

Old Robson's eyes were rounded, and he was a little relieved to see Raphael, who had been tortured by Ronaldo and the others, with a cold face—fortunately, Raphael's brain is still very good!

If the whole team went to Rafael's house to shoot, the media flocking to Raphael's house would not only block Rafael's house, but also cause Inter Milan's PR (public relations) to collapse, and Moratti would also be devastated.

Rafael scored three goals, so it put him in a good mood, and it was patience to be bothered by this guy.After dismissing these idiots, he said generously, "Would you like to go to the restaurant I'm about to open for a try? No waiting."

"Go, go! Of course!" Simeone was the first to respond, and the locker room was filled with the wind of beating local tyrants and dividing land.

Simeone asked Raphael in a low voice when everyone was booing, "Is your house repaired? I mean expansion?"

"Some media say you wish you could build a bunker at home!" Almeida said.

This made everyone laugh. Rafael was not moved by everyone's laughter, and looked at them coldly, "Based on the Italian army, I can't comment on it, and the police are so incompetent. If necessary, I will You don't mind turning my home into a fortress."

Belgomi: =mouth=

Cannavaro: "..."

This brat is really annoying!Our Italian army...but our police can still do it!

Seeing Bergomi's eyes and Zanetti's constant poking on his back, Rafael reluctantly added, "Italian guns are good."

Belgomi: →_→

He didn't think it was a compliment!Especially after Raphael belittled their army!

Of course, the Italians didn't want to discuss the obvious issue of the Italian army's combat effectiveness with Rafael. Bergomi had already seen the old Robson, so he immediately diverted his attention, and asked the old man for leave like a captain!

Old Robson can still understand words like leave.

The old man blinked and said to them: "It's okay to have a holiday, but only for half a day. I still have to come to the base for recovery training in the afternoon."

If he hadn't seen the scene just now, Old Robson would have happily granted them a day off, but after seeing them arguing that Raphael would go to his house to shoot, he said that he would not take a day off.

Even if it's only half a day, everyone cheers!

This proves that they can spend most of the night today and wake up naturally tomorrow!

Rafael is a man of action. Since he said he would open a restaurant for Javier, he would keep his promise.During this time, the Havels have not only found the shop, but the interior decoration is almost finished.Before the restaurant officially opens, it is obviously a good choice to entertain guests first.

Now if you want to invite your teammates to dinner, you can send a text message to Javier and ask him to prepare it, which can be regarded as a trial operation.

Barbeques take time to prepare, and these guys need to go home with their girlfriends, wives, and kids like Belgomi.

Speaking of which, Zanetti is clearly also a lover of grilled meat - although he is extremely self-made.After eating the barbecue made by Javier before, he did not hesitate to contribute and accounted for 2% of the shares.

Rafael and Juan also had to go home and change before going to the restaurant.

Speaking of which, it was no longer Juan's turn to drive. Sitting in the Mercedes, Juan asked worriedly, "Is there any problem with the gun?"

Raphael didn't care, "No problem."

"Rabbit" confirmed with him that as long as he is not being videotaped, there is no problem. The problem is that now that "Rabbit" is under [-]/[-] surveillance, it is impossible for him to play with guns while there are reporters secretly taking pictures.

Juan was relieved, and immediately told him about his dream of a sharpshooter, and mentioned Eric's ridicule.

Of course, his original intention was to ask Raphael to help him compare with Eric and vent his anger, but Raphael was thoughtful—dream?Compared to dreaming, maybe Juan can really have a way to become a sharpshooter.

"Really?" Juan's face was full of surprise!

"In the game." Raphael said.
