ball magic

Busy making friends after the game and not returning to the locker room with the big team has only one fate-being stopped for an interview in the mixed zone.

What moved the reporters so much was that Rafael was quite cooperative and gave a positive answer when asked about returning to the national team.

This was also regarded by reporters as a "sacrifice" made by Rafael in order to be selected for the Argentine national team again.

But what surprised Raphael was that some media thought he had conflicts with old Robson!

"Sorry—" he asked the female reporter, "I have a problem with Bobby? Bobby?"

The female reporter picked up immediately, "After you were substituted——"

After Raphael was reminded, he immediately thought that when he was substituted, he was kissed by Winter. At that time, he was a little distressed about how to explain to Curly, after all, he might be sprayed with double marks by Curly.

Originally, he wanted to learn a few sweet words from the Italian love saint, but now he was reminded by the reporter that he thought this was a good channel to speak out, and he wanted his teammates and curly hair to be heard on TV——

"Winter kissed me, maybe trying to rub my dribble, but it was too sudden, I don't like it very much, in fact, I prefer that everyone express their feelings in a different way."

Speaking of this, Rafael added: "I have a great relationship with Bobby. I was lucky to meet John (Toshack) at the beginning of my football career and now I have Bobby. Like my father in his football career, he helped me a lot and gave me warmth. So I don’t want anyone to misunderstand our relationship-I love him very much and care about our relationship.”

A reporter paid attention to the relationship between Raphael and the old Robson. When Rafael finished speaking, he laughed and teased, "What way do you like your teammates to express their feelings for you? Over the shoulder?"

"No, it's not." Raphael looked at him, those gray-blue eyes just stared at him for two seconds, and the smile on the reporter's face gradually faded.

"The main purpose of my interview today is to talk about this celebration. The referee Mr. Bogji made me realize that I am a public figure now and should not make such a celebration that children may imitate. It has a good impact, and I promise that I will not make similar actions on the court in the future."

As the saying goes, it’s a good time to fall, and after the fall, you still have to wipe your own ass. Raphael decided to post a "work" post when he got home, and appealed to fans not to imitate.

When Raphael returned to the locker room, he was caught and checked by the team doctor who had been waiting for him for a long time, and then he took a cold water bath to recover his fatigue and began to receive treatment.

Rafael was used to this and didn't resist the cold bath, he even took a nap while being relaxed by the masseur.When he wakes up, where in the locker room are there teammates who decided to go carnival after the big victory?

Only Juan was left reading a book and waiting for him.

On the way home, Raphael noticed that Juan was looking at him with some hesitation in his eyes.

Rafael said: "Speak up if you have something to say, and ask if you have a question."

Juan scratched his long hair subconsciously, and looked at him with a little tangled, "Jorge wants me to play in the Portuguese League on loan in winter..."

Raphael's eyes were slightly startled, and he asked, "What do you think?"

Juan struggled and said: "John (Toshack) told me that if I still don't get a chance this year, he wants me to go back to Deportivo. Not a lot. If this is the case, seeking a loan is the best choice. But I feel that now I can get a certain amount of playing time in the team, and there are many superstars in the team now, so I can learn a lot.”

Raphael could see his confusion, but he also saw that Juan was seriously thinking about his future.

Raphael patted his head lightly, feeling a little emotional, "You have grown up."

Juan's eyes widened!He even heard the sniggering of Sean in front!The bastard!

He's half a year older than Raphael, okay?

"Is it because of Andrea's relationship that puts you under some pressure?" Rafael asked. He also brought a bunch of cubs. It's hard to hide what a young man of Juan's age is thinking from his eyes. .

Juan hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.

"We are friends, we have a good relationship, I like Andrea, but..."

"You're about the same age, and he's Italian, and Bobby seems to like him better, doesn't he?"

Juan struggled for two seconds, then nodded sincerely.

For a giant like Inter Milan, even Zamorano has to struggle to become the third striker, and the midfield position is also highly competitive. For him, it would be good to be a rotation substitute.But even the rotation has to face tough competition.

He is not afraid of competition, nor does he think he is inferior to Pirlo, he has his advantages, but he is worried that such days will not last long.

When Inter Milan do not need him?

What if the team doesn't re-sign him?

Could it be that he can only stay on this team because of his relationship with Rafael?

"First of all, I have no objection to your seeking a loan, and Mendes's suggestion is not wrong. But I don't agree with a meaningless loan. It is very important to find the right team. But I think you will leave without this winter window for the time being. necessary."

Rafael saw Juan's bright eyes, and Rafael continued: "We are fighting on the third front, how many people are there in the team?"

"Counting 4 goalkeepers, 26 people."

"Simeone and Almeida are competing for a position, and Andrea's position in Bobby is closer to the number nine and a half in Italy. It is not fixed, but your position is fixed. The first thing you have to do is Give yourself an accurate positioning, whose substitute do you want to be?"

This question made Juan's eyes widen. No matter in the 433, 442, or 4231 system, he is most competitive with Rafael's rotation.

"I don't have a qualified substitute," Rafael said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sean who was driving laughed again, and Raphael kicked the seat angrily to make him quiet.

"Yeah, if you need a break, it's Luis..." said Juan, who could tell from some of the groupings in the intra-team matchups.

"Since they are all unqualified, it doesn't matter who you use. You may be able to play in a small club, but you are only 19 years old. You really have to worry about the future. It is not too late to worry when you are 21 years old." Raphael said here, Looking at Juan with praise, "Believe in your own potential, you will be better than the other Juan."

"Another Juan?" Juan's curiosity was aroused! "Juan Veron? The one you showed me on tape?"

Raphael shook his head, but did not say Juan Belleron's name.

Although Juan didn't know who the other Juan was, he was still happy, just like when he played against Barcelona, ​​Rafael compared him with the young Barcelona player.

"Did you watch the Beckham video?"

"Look! Every day!"

"Juan Veron?"

"Look! Every day!"

Raphael nodded and said to him, "I'm going to hire a professional personal trainer, you need to exercise your physical fitness."

Raphael doesn't know whether Juan will develop in the direction of Beckham or Harvey Alonso in the future, but judging from the current situation, it is more suitable for Juan to move closer to Alonso.

But that little Juan Alonso is almost 2 years old, and he is still playing football at Real Sociedad, but it doesn't matter, because the person who knows people with his eyes, digs out and gives that Alonso a chance is Lao Tuo!

Raphael decided to call Lao Tuo after returning home, and then chat with old Robson about Juan's future.

"Be confident!" Raphael finally encouraged him.

Juan was already flattered, he nodded vigorously, he has filled at least one year of self-confidence!

After arriving home, Rafael and Juan had extra meals together. Juan rarely showed his curiosity. He looked at Rafael, "Rafael, in the football world, what do you most want to have?"

Raphael said without hesitation: "I have already got it."

"what?"

"Put on the Argentina jersey - I've done it. Anderson said you were in the Spain U21 squad, why didn't you tell me?"

Juan was stunned, he didn't expect Anderson to have such a big mouth!

Looking at his expression, Raphael could tell that this idiot must have thought too much, taking into account his mood, so he didn't say anything.

This is the first time Juan has been selected for the national team, and it is the U21 national team.Although I missed this year's U21 European Youth Championship, it is also worth celebrating.

Raphael didn't want to settle accounts with him anymore, but instead changed the subject in a rare and considerate manner, "I will watch your game and record it for you."

Juan was on the verge of tears!Almost immediately he said, "I'll have the tickets ready!"

Rafael smiled, Juan's family tickets are limited, but it is too easy to buy tickets for the youth team's game.

"I'll take Louis with me and let him cheer you on."

"I will work hard!" Juan already wished he could turn into a striker and send a goal to Luis!

Rafael has indeed arranged his schedule for next month.The main reason is that other countries are playing warm-up matches, but the Argentine national team still has no arrangements.

Great or not?

Bull is not bull?

Old Robson had already told him that he would be given a vacation next month, and Rafael would not refuse this time.

Because the old man told him that next year there will be the 99 America's Cup, and Argentina will definitely find an opponent in the warm-up match next year. At that time, it is destined to fly around, just like Ronaldo.It is true that I have time to rest more now, and I can also take care of minor injuries on my body to avoid future troubles.

Raphael gave Juan a surprise, and called Aimar after returning to the room after eating this extra meal.

He consciously maintains this relationship. In his eyes, the curly hair delivered to his door is like a newly grown fawn. If he is not careful, he will be abducted by someone, and he has not yet remembered the way home.

Curly has no game today, his game is tomorrow, and he is waiting for his call at this time.

It may be that what he said in the interview with the media was effective. Apart from congratulating him on his performance, Curly didn't mention that Went kissed him, which made Rafael silently breathe a sigh of relief.

Aimar is worrying about his upcoming schedule, perhaps also shocked by the difficulty of his schedule.

"I understand why Mr. Robson gave you a holiday. You didn't participate in the national team, you didn't participate in the World Cup, and you didn't have the depression after the World Cup. Of course he has to keep you in shape—"

Raphael couldn't help interrupting him, "Shouldn't you take care of my mood?"

"Take care of your mood, so do you want me to persuade you to cut your hair?" Aimar retorted.

This was very sharp, and Raphael shut up.

Curly asked, "What if I advised you to cut your hair? You agreed to one condition."

"You won't." Raphael said categorically, he was sure that Aimar would not do such a thing.

It took two seconds for Aimar to whisper: "I thought about it..."

His voice was a bit vague, and Raphael could almost imagine that he might be lying on the bed, his face buried in the light blue pillow, muttering in a low voice.

Raphael also leaned against the head of the bed, and the missing came unexpectedly.

"Publido—"

"Ok?"

"Did I tell you that you softened my heart?"

It took a second or two before there was faint laughter. Aimar seemed to laugh for a while before he could hold back his laughter and said, "Are you trying to make me happy because you know you did something wrong?"

"I heard you laugh," Raphael stated, "so I managed to make you happy."

"Yes," Aimar replied quickly with a smile this time, "I'm very happy."

The author has something to say: small popular science:

European Youth Championship: European U-21 Football Championship.This is the most gold-rich youth competition in Europe, and in this era, the gold content is slightly inferior to the World Youth Championship.In our era, the importance in the eyes of European powers may have surpassed that of the World Youth Championship.

It is worth mentioning that in 96, Raul led the Spanish U21, defeated France and won the first pro-match championship in Spain's history, and scored 4 goals in 3 games, and was elected the top scorer of that session .

There are two updates.
