ball magic

Chapter 196

Raphael really has no reason to be angry. He can't say no to returning to the national team, which is indeed worth celebrating.

After he took a shower, Bergomi, who had just confiscated his inner lining, came over and asked.

Raphael raised an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me like that, don't make this gesture," Bergomi said, "I'm not trying to abduct you—"

"You are." Raphael interrupted him, "Last time you asked me like that, you took me to a striptease, last time you took me to a nightclub and someone almost stripped me of my clothes, last time—"

"Giuseppe!"

A voice sounded in the locker room, and everyone looked at the source of the sound in surprise.They had to say in good conscience that it wasn't a loud voice, but it belonged to old Robson.

Belgomi immediately knew what good deed Raphael had done, his most beloved junior obviously did it on purpose!

Is old Robson mad?

of course.

But his temper is so good, so good, so good, under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if he is angry, he can't pick up the "hairdryer", so he can only say to the old captain: "Come, let's chat."

There was laughter in the locker room. They really respected Bergomi, but it didn't mean they were indifferent when they saw the old captain deflated.

Bergomi glared at Rafael amidst everyone's laughter, and strutted out of the locker room like a majestic man.But everyone believed that when they left the locker room, their old captain's shoulders would definitely slump, like a limp eggplant.

"Rafa, you are so unkind." Ronaldo envied, "The captain took you to a striptease and you still cheated him!"

Raphael glanced at him, "Are you sure you want to see it? A fine of $20000."

Ronaldo wanted to say, am I short of $[-]?

But he is still a sick patient, and if he does not recuperate well, there will be such scandals. Maybe the "hard-hearted" old Robson will still throw him on the bench, let him continue to recuperate, and take care of the water dispenser by the way.

But he still complained, "You blissful bastard!"

Raphael shrugged, took the hair dryer from Juan, and frowned to blow his hair.

He really doesn't like blowing his hair, which is one of the reasons he decided to cut it short.It was originally a job that Juan enjoyed doing very much, but since he was promoted to the first team, Rafael refused him to do it again.

Without the captain, and without other excitement to watch, everyone talked about how to spend tomorrow's holiday.

Simeone came over and asked Raphael, presumably wanting to have a meal.

"I have some work to do tomorrow morning, and I have nothing to do in the afternoon."

Simeone muttered, "I guess it will disturb you, forget it."

Raphael smiled, "It's not a big deal, just choosing sneakers."

The World Cup is over. As the spokesperson of Umbro, Raphael was wearing the "Speciali98" series of boots before, which is the same pair that Irving wore in the British-Arab war.

However, due to well-known reasons, Raphael did not appear on the stage of the World Cup. Umbro felt that it had suffered some losses. In order to make up for this part of the loss, they recently decided to launch a new "Speciali99" and sell it in limited quantities.

All Raphael needs to do is choose a favorite among the bunch of samples they offer.

Simeone immediately said: "Then go to your house for a barbecue?"

Raphael readily agreed.

Ronaldo immediately joined in the fun, and Zanetti also brought his girlfriend along, so it immediately developed into a large-scale dinner where half of the team would go to Raphael's house for barbecue tomorrow.There was further discussion about throwing a pool party at Rafael's house.

Juan: "..."

Dare to think.

Raphael didn't care about their quarrel, and waited for them to finish their discussion before saying: "Only girlfriends, wives, and children are allowed. You are not allowed to bring messy people to our house."

This is agreed!

The dressing room of Real Madrid's visiting team was about to be collapsed by their shouts of "Long live"!

Raphael twitched his lips and smiled.

He doesn't like such excitement very much, and Bergomi doesn't necessarily like to take them to nightclubs, bars, or carnivals that much.But as the captain, he still has to get along with the players—although he himself is still skeptical that he can get along with this group of sand sculptures.

They returned to Milan that night, and the next morning, a company planning parties for the rich and famous came to their home to make preparations.

Juan is on the phone with his new friend, and Raphael is picking out his sneakers.

Umbro's design team brought in a ton of sneakers, which filled the living room carpet with sneakers of every color and style.

Little Louis can already run.

This little guy just looks at this and that in a pile of shoes, wandering in it, as if enjoying his own "big adventure".

These shoes are sample shoes, so Raphael does not need to try them on, but only needs to choose a pair of favorites among the many sneakers.

Different from "Speciali98" with its unique big tongue and huge back-shaped logo, Umbro's designers have made some adjustments this time. The logo of "Speciali99" is much smaller, and the tongue is also a little more delicate, making the whole shoe more comfortable. All become more beautiful.

It can even be said that if the studs are removed, this looks more like a pair of sneakers than sneakers.

As for the choice of appearance, it is not a multiple-choice question. Raphael almost took a fancy to the two pairs of white shoes at a glance.

One pair is pure white, and honestly, it's almost a work of art in this day and age.

The other pair of shoes is almost the same as it. What attracted Raphael's attention was that the color of its logo was Argentine blue.

It's it!

that's it!

Compared with the golden sneakers thrown to him by Umbro's design department in the 98 series, Raphael obviously prefers this pair.

Maybe pure white would be nice too, but this Argentinian blue colorway makes it mean more to Raphael.

"If you like the pure white pair, you can also request some special designs on this basis. For example, some stars want to embroider their country's national flag or their child's name on it, and you can make a request."

The accompanying designer picked up the pair of all-white shoes and said, "For example, on the tongue, you can add an Argentine flag, which is small."

The designer glanced at Louis who ran to Raphael and looked up at him with a small face, "The child's name can be here and here."

Raphael admitted that he was a little moved.

So it took a job that should have been done in 10 minutes and ended up taking more than two hours.

"We noticed you haven't been using our shin pads, is there a specific reason?" the designer asked.

After a fierce battle with Nike, Umbro is still the sponsor and equipment provider of Inter Milan.So in every game, Raphael will be studied by them from head to toe, and they will find that Raphael has never used their shin guards.

"My shin guards have special meaning," Raphael said.

It's insanely expensive, worth half a season's worth of victory points.

In fact, Raphael's victory points were only exchanged for two things in total: two shin guards.These just cost him all the points he earned in the Eredivisie season in the virtual space.

He has kept all the league and European points accumulated since the 95/96 season, just like a little boy who collects every glass ball.

When he collects enough, perhaps these "glass balls" will bring him a unique treasure, which is the moment he is looking forward to.

The designer said nothing more.

Since it has special meaning, naturally Raphael cannot be replaced.

When Umbro's people were leaving, Louis suddenly found that his toys were leaving him too!Just when the kid wanted to defend his kingdom, he was picked up by his uncle and saw a small handmade football.

Louis' eyes were immediately attracted by it. Raphael kissed his little face, put him on the sofa, and took out the small sneakers brought by Umbro's employees to put on for him.This is a gift from Louis.

"Shoes! New shoes!" Louis shouted excitedly.

"Yes, Luis' new shoes." Raphael said, kneeling on one knee to put on his shoes, while controlling the little guy's dangling little feet.

These are powerful little feet, and Javier, like any Argentinian father, always brags about his son's future on the court, but Rafael doesn't think about the little guy's future.

He was born in Madrid and now lives more in Milan.

There are many possibilities for his future. If he likes football, there are many different ways, not limited to running on the green field.

After putting on the shoes for the little guy, Rafael took him to play in the backyard of his house for a while.

It may be because of the change of professional sneakers, the little guy who couldn't help but fall when dribbling the ball before can take a few steps smoothly, and his two little feet still look good.

This is definitely a surprise!

"You are smiling like any proud silly father in the world, no, silly brother. You are obviously very happy, and you also hope that he can become a professional player in the future, why are you kidding yourself?"

Raphael ignored him.

He is indeed an intelligent life, but first of all, he is a silicon-based man, not a human being.

But He can always pierce his heart, which is not pleasant.

"I just checked, and there are indeed many humans who have the same idea as you. You want to buy a club for him? I never knew you spoiled cubs so much."

"You're too noisy." Raphael had to tell him to shut up, and the result of a little indulgence to this guy was that he could keep making noise.

"Isn't Louis enjoying his run? You're still by his side. As your friend, your loyal silicon-based friend, I think I deserve your company, too."

Raphael asked back: "Then dare to ask, am I not by your side?"

"Rabbit" was silent for a few seconds, pretending that nothing happened just now, and asked: "I'm curious, if you buy Manchester United, won't you make the fans of Inter Milan angry? As far as I know, you care about them and even loved them."

"First of all, I can't afford it now." Rafael corrected. "Secondly, it's not me who is going to buy the club."

"What's the difference between a Hughes buy and a you buy?"

"Hughes is Hughes, I am me, we are two separate entities, can't my silicon-based friends even tell the difference?"

This is sarcasm.

This is definitely a mockery, "Rabbit" suddenly doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

Raphael finally got quiet, and he called back to Louis who was running farther and farther with the ball.

Looking at the little guy who fell down and squatted because he was anxious to run back, then got up bravely and continued to run back with the ball, Raphael couldn't help thinking, should we have a dog at home?

The author has something to say: There are always some babies who can't understand the timeline, so it is mid-September 1998.

At this point in time, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch was preparing to acquire Manchester United.
