ball magic

As a head coach, communicating with players is a basic quality.

Bielsa was worried for a few seconds, and decided to take advantage of the dead ball to have a good chat with Rafael.

Thanks to Mexico's current tactic, which is to interrupt Argentina's offensive opportunities as much as possible, Bielsa talked to Rafael after 1 minute.

When Rafael came to the sidelines and took the water cup from the assistant coach, Bielsa quickly said: "Rafa, why is the ball flying in the air? I mean, why are there so many long passes today? I think we should go on the ground, Control the game better our way."

Raphael took a sip to moisturize his throat before saying, "Because the ground is covered with pieces of paper, mistakes will increase."

Just because of this?

Bielsa's expression at the moment can be perfectly summed up in four words of ignorance!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Raphael took another two sips before saying, "Do you want to push on the ground?"

It must!

Bielsa said: "Never mind the opponent, we win the game by doing what we do. Rafa we should be us, you must understand that, right?"

Raphael nodded knowingly, threw the water glass on the bench, and left without looking back.

Redondo looked at the water glass in his hand amid Batty's laughter, and looked at Raphael's back without turning his head, and couldn't help snorting.

Batty laughed hahaha and said, "It's good for your own people to take care of themselves now. I finally don't have to listen to Diego complaining to me."

This Diego is of course Simeone!

When Rafael was first selected for the national team, Mr. Redondo with a big mouth threw this big trouble to Simeone. Now that Redondo has joined the national team, of course he has to deal with this trouble himself.

Redondo was unmoved by his ridicule, put the water glass aside, and turned his gaze to the court.

Although I didn't hear what Bielsa was saying just now, it was nothing more than the ball flying around in the air.

In fact, flying around is a bit too exaggerated, because the large-scale transfers in this game came from Raphael's feet, and the others still took their positions honestly.

But it was Rafael's long pass, oblique long pass, and through pass that directly tore through Mexico's defense line, posing a threat extremely easily.

But if Mr. Big Mouth is to be the judge, he also prefers the traditional ones.

The ball is at their feet and the game is in their hands, which is the way he prefers to play.

"We saw what Bielsa and Rafael said just now, oh, the water glass was thrown very accurately. Now let's turn our attention back to the pitch, now the opportunity is at the feet of Argentina."

"Sorin, who was advancing with the ball, encountered a little trouble. Cepeda always suffered when facing him. The parents obviously couldn't stand it. Now he has to face the interception of two people."

Sorin obviously didn't intend to fight alone, and he passed the ball quickly after Samuel came up to meet him, but Garcias seemed to have predicted it, he reacted very quickly to break the ball first, and quickly passed the ball The ball is passed to the left side of the Argentine penalty area.

There was no one there, but Garcias had confidence in Cepeda's speed, and he would definitely be there first.

"Samuel's miss, Mexico's chance!"

But just when Cepeda reached the point and was about to cut inside, Ayala simply blocked the ball and people outside the penalty area.

This scene made the fans applaud him one after another, and Mexico also got a free kick in the frontcourt.

"Mexico's free kick expert Ruiz is not present, who will be in charge of handling the ball now?" Huang Jianxiang said here, and saw the young player Max walk to the goal.

A centre-back, to handle free kicks?

Huang Jianxiang quickly introduced: "What we are seeing now is the teenager Max. Among the four young teenagers starting in Mexico today, he is the one with the best performance. He is currently playing for the Atlas Club. favored by European clubs."

I saw Max kicked out in an arc, the ball did not fly directly to the goal, but came to the left, Garcias met the ball and shot it with his instep, and the ball went above the crossbar.

"Although we missed the target, this is Mexico's best offensive opportunity after the start of the game. This warm-up match exposed many problems in Mexico, such as the weakness of the midfield."

As Huang Jianxiang spoke, he saw Boggs taking a goal kick, and the opportunity came to the Argentine again.

As the shortest of the three central defenders, Ayala has good footwork. After receiving a throw from Boggs, he took the ball out of the top of the penalty area before distributing the ball to Zanetti on the right.

Bielsa, who was watching Raphael all the time, was relieved to find that Raphael actually moved forward!

So impressed!

As soon as Rafael advanced, Simeone knew that Bielsa must change his position, so he honestly guarded the middle and did not dare to advance too far.

After Simeone took a few steps slowly, Zanetti had already transferred the ball to Aimar's feet.

Aimar obviously only had Rafael in his eyes. He dunked Cabrera, turned half a circle and sent the ball to Rafael's feet.

The moment Raphael received the ball, the fans booed it again!

Crespo had already reached out to ask for the ball, but now he knew who had the ball when he heard the boos, he could only murmur in his heart, "Pabredo is not cute", and turned around quickly.

I saw that Rafael took the ball under his feet, taking no time to rush. This obvious fishing posture made Mexican captain Suarez dare not go up to grab it, just to prevent him from breaking through.

But even if he was careful, Raphael's breakthrough was only a split second!

Before Suarez could react, Rafael had already sprinted past him from the left side of his body, rubbed his right foot, and the ball reached Keeley's feet.

"Butterfly" turned again, it was too late!

Keeley has a shot!

He hits a nice far corner without any interference!

"Such an easy goal, such a beautiful cooperation! But in 16 minutes of the first half, Argentina scored 2 goals. You must know that in their last warm-up match, they only beat Mexico 1-0!"

Huang Jianxiang completely ignored that when the two teams played against each other last time, Bielsa recruited all players who played in the domestic league, so he called Rafael.

"Argentina has never been short of good offensive players. They have always been worried about the accumulation of offensive players in the frontcourt. What they need is a commander, someone who can thread the needle and command the crowd. After Raphael returned to the national team In the first match of the season, he put in a magnificent performance in just 20 minutes."

"Now I am very much looking forward to him scoring his first goal back in the national team. This should be the voice of all Rafael fans!"

Along with Huang Jianxiang's comments, the camera showed Maradona in the stands, and the fans around him who didn't know whether to celebrate or not.

Keely scored a goal, they should be happy and cheered for him, but it was Rafael who could assist Keely!

Raphael!

The fans are still tangled, and Keely, who has had a bad luck with the ball recently, has hugged all his teammates who celebrated with him.

After Rafael extended his hand, he even hugged him, "Boy, we have to celebrate like this in the national team!"

Raphael couldn't help smiling, and patted Senior on the shoulder.

Keeley didn't let him go, but just reminded him intentionally, "Do you want to try to score a goal? You haven't shot a goal today."

"No rush," Raphael said in no hurry, "We still have plenty of time."

This succeeded in pleasing Keeley, who laughed and ran away.

Of course, Argentina still has plenty of time, and Mexico on the opposite side may not think so.

In fact, Huang Jianxiang was also deeply moved by the one-sidedness of this game.

"Mexico has always been the king of Central and North America. They are frequent visitors to the World Cup. We also mentioned before that they reached the final of the Copa America in 93. If they didn't lose to Argentina, they would have successfully turned away and won the championship. Take the trophy.

But with the retirement of Hugo Sanchez, Mexico's problem is not only a talent gap, but also a loss of their previous characteristics.You must know that Mexico in the past would not allow the Argentines to come and go freely in their midfield and play such a smooth game smoothly.And the attacking Mexico also lost the quickness and flexibility of the past, the ball could not be passed to the frontcourt quickly, but Argentina did it perfectly today!

So the game became a one-sided situation. We saw that Mexico was just tired of running, on the left, on the right, in the center, and we had to beware of the long ball that would drop from the sky at any time.

I hope this game will make Lapointe realize the problems of his team, they still have 3 years to solve..."

Rafael is not in a rush to score, but Aimar wants him to score, very, very, very much.

And his mood is also fully expressed in passing the ball, so Raphael seems to have returned to 2 years ago, in the summer in Malaysia, his curly hair just made cakes one after another, and crazily dropped them on him.

Without any cover, he just used practical actions to show his "friendship" with Raphael to fans all over the world.

What makes Rafael interesting is that his curly hair is obviously not only good in the youth team, but also has a good popularity in the adult team!

Because not only were everyone not angry, but they actually followed him and fed him together!

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Crespo actually declined the cake offered to Sorin, and then passed Raphael!

The timing of the delivery of the ball was just right. Even the seasoned Suarez never expected that Crespo could still "refuse to eat". Seeing that Crespo passed the ball, it was too late for him to react!

How can Rafael live up to the ease and taste of the cake in his mouth?

The left foot shot calmly, and the ball went directly into the net from Campos' armpit!

At the moment Rafael scored, Aimar, who was a few meters away, ran over desperately, but his speed was still a little slower, and Rafael was already surrounded by Kiley and the others.

But what's the matter?

Emma is so happy!Happier than scoring goals himself!

Before entering the arena, he wanted to shut up these Boca people!Aren't their mouths closed now?

After admiring the goal, Huang Jianxiang couldn't help saying with emotion: "Today's Crespo is simply a saint, because he behaved like a saint like Liu Xiahui today..."

I don’t know how many Chinese fans laughed until their stomachs ached from such ridicule, but the commentators on the scene still didn’t know it, and continued to smile and said: "I think the Argentine fans in China should be in a very happy mood now. Crespo behaved so well today. Humility, obviously also want Rafael to get the goal as soon as possible."

"Look, even Ayala and the others in the backcourt ran 80 meters to celebrate! The last time you saw Argentina like this, it should have been in the World Cup qualifiers in 94. Maradona came back and led the united Argentina to win World Cup tickets!"

Raphael in the camera is surrounded by his teammates, while the fans in the stands are extremely silent.

The director pointed the camera again meaningfully at the banner that said "Raphael, welcome to hell".

"We see that Boca fans are very silent now. I don't think their silence will last long. After all, Rafael's debut at the Monument Stadium almost scored a hat-trick."

Huang Jianxiang, who has played the role of the prophecy emperor more than once in this game, opened his mouth again, while Maradona in the stands was frowning.

He understands this Argentine team, and can understand Bielsa's tactics. Because he is a fat man who understands the ball, he can see whether Argentina today is playing high and high, which is contrary to the usual style, or continuing the traditional short pass. The penetration is all led by Raphael.

Forget about these, when Aimar started playing for Rafael crazily, and the entire midfield began to cooperate, Maradona clearly realized that whether the River Plate system represented by Sorin or Simeone led The neutral faction completely surrendered to this kid!

After all, all the details on the court reflect the attitude off the court!

All this shows that Rafael has the support of this Argentine team!

For Maradona, this is simply worse than Raphael's return to the national team!

Because this means that Rafael is fully capable of kneading this team into a whole and making it his own team!

Usually such a player will be dubbed a "ball bully" by the media.

Maradona is the most famous ball bully in the history of the Argentine team, and now he has a successor who is disgusting and hated!

Nothing could be worse!

Maradona thought gloomily, this also means that unless Bielsa and Grondona want to dethrone Rafael and re-support Boca's Veron, Riquelme and Palermo, otherwise his influence, It was no longer possible to penetrate this national team.

In this way, he was abandoned by the times...

And the "back wave" who took his "front wave" ashore seemed to be in a good mood after scoring the goal, and he also had fun.

The most straightforward performance is sticking the ball.

But neither the players on the field nor Bielsa on the sidelines felt that there was anything wrong.

Argentina's No. 10, is there a non-stick ball?

The old Robson, who was watching the game in far away Europe, looked at Raphael like this, but he had a different feeling from them.

Perhaps because of returning to his homeland, Raphael's dribbling is obviously more enthusiastic than usual, but it can make people taste the romantic beauty that only belongs to classicism with a long aftertaste; it is so hearty, like dancing to the full after drunk , seems to be strolling in the courtyard, but with the amazing courage of thousands of people in his actions!

His good boy, at the moment is so hearty and calm to show his football, just because he wants to conquer the hearts of the most critical and indifferent people in the world.

After involuntarily giving Raphael an applause that only his wife could hear, old Robson still couldn't take his eyes off the TV, but this didn't affect his thoughts.

This kind of Rafa is simply a beautiful, proud little peacock showing off its feathers wantonly.
