ball magic

As the host country of this year's America's Cup, Paraguay has worked very hard to make this year's America's Cup the biggest ever in the history of the America's Cup.

The game will be held in the four largest cities in Paraguay, namely Asuncion, Este, Luque and Pedro Juan Caballero.

In Group C where Argentina is located, 6 of the 5 games were held at the Feliciano Caceres Stadium.

When stepping on the field the day before the game, Raphael was very careful and serious.

The conditions of the venues in South America are not good. Even if he is used to playing on the rotten grass of the San Siro Stadium, he doesn't want to stumble on the Paraguayan's court because of carelessness.

It's just that his teammates were a little worried. Raphael looked at this group of joking guys, and just shook his head helplessly, and Aimar was hung on his back.

Look, even his deer's mentality is so relaxed.

Raphael swallowed what he didn't say, and a relaxed mind also has the advantage of being relaxed.

On June 6, the Feliciano Caceres Stadium, which can accommodate 30 spectators, was full of fans.

In the locker room, Aimar couldn't help laughing when he heard the faint sound of cheering coming into the locker room.

Raphael was still adjusting his shin guards, and when he heard the movement, he glanced at him, and saw Aimar return him with a sugary smile.

Although he didn't understand the deer's heart, this smile easily captured Raphael, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips before adjusting his leg guards.

Zanetti, who was sitting on the other side of Raphael, was an observant person. He witnessed the interaction between the two, but he just shifted his gaze to Aimar who was on the chair, and the leg guards had not been put on yet.

The size of the shin guard is smaller and thinner than usual, and it looks very light.

Zanetti is very familiar with it, after all, Raphael has used the same model for at least 2 years...

So this is invisible dog food again!

After Aimar put on the shin guards, adjusted the non-slip socks, and put on the sneakers, Raphael asked him, "What did you think of just now?"

"Malaysia." Aimar said generously.

Seeing that Zanetti looked curiously, he gave Zanetti a smile and explained: "When we went there to play the World Youth Championship, the audience was very unenthusiastic and the stadium was empty, as if we were playing a training match."

This made Zanetti a little unbelievable, there are actually people in this world who don't love football?

So what do they love?

However, compared to what sports the Valencians love, everyone is obviously more concerned about the World Youth Championship that has kicked off in Nigeria. The topic soon turned to Argentina u19 who are fighting for the World Youth Championship.

Everyone, including Redondo, agreed that Pekerman would lead these kids to win three consecutive World Youth Championships. Even Brazil could not stop the Pampas young eagles from advancing.

Unbelievably optimistic.

Aimar saw that Raphael raised his eyebrows slightly, so he knew that he didn't agree with everyone's views, so he guessed that he might have thought of Juan, who was also fighting for the World Youth Championship.

He thought, it's normal for Rafael to prefer Juan, but I support our short-legged rabbit.

Cough, that's right, he was led badly by Raphael, and he actually started calling this nickname.

Brazil and Argentina are the most populous countries in South America, and the number of fans watching the game is far more than their opponent Ecuador, so that at least three-quarters of the stadium with 2 people are wearing blue and white striped shirts Argentina fans.

Of course, there are also family members of the players among these fans!

Due to the limited capacity of the stadium and the limited family tickets provided by the Football Association, Rafael's ticket was given to Messi, and Aimar's ticket was reserved for his younger brother Andrea.

After entering the arena, they warmed up first, and then found them and said hello before leaving.

It is worth mentioning that when Raphael was warming up, he did not hear a single boo against him.

"Rafa is so cool..." Andrea couldn't help whispering.

Messi, who has grown more than ten centimeters, nodded his head. Rafa is really cool, but he will be the captain today, captain!

When the players returned to the locker room, Bielsa explained his tactics to them.

I don’t know if he underestimated today’s opponents from the bottom of his heart. Bielsa didn’t mention their opponents at all. Instead, he gesticulated to Aimar and Keeley, the two little guys, how to run, how to break into the penalty area to create opportunities, and how to press. .

After the two dwarfs were bathed in his saliva and nodded again and again, Bielsa turned to Rafael to emphasize the control of the rhythm and encouraged him to play more aggressively today.

This is obviously to let Rafael plug in more and score more goals.

Everyone get, just make a ball for the little ball master.

Bielsa glanced at Redondo, thought for a while and said nothing.

After all, looking at the training games of the past few days, Redondo still managed the balance between defense and assists very well. He turned around and emphasized this point to Zanetti and Sorin, and then nagged Ayala , He needs the defense to control the scale and how to help the team attack without losing touch.

Yes, the emphasis in front of the defense is still... offense.

This is Bielsa.

Raphael checked his equipment for the last time while he was speaking fast, adjusted his headband to ensure that his long hair would not affect his vision, and then put on the dark blue captain's armband with the Argentine team logo .

This action also attracted everyone's attention.

Bielsa also found that everyone's attention was no longer on him, which made him smile helplessly, this is Argentina.

The head coach is important, but more important is the one who directs them on the court.

Rafael noticed everyone's gaze, he ignored his teammates, just looked at Bielsa, his gray-blue eyes seemed to be asking: "Any more orders?"

Bielsa waved his hand, allowing the captain to play freely.

Only then did Raphael look at his teammates who were obviously too relaxed, and what he said was not so pleasant!

"If we qualify second in our group, we will meet the Brazilians in the semi-finals like in 95. No one would want to meet them at this time, right?"

This was said quite bluntly.

The pampas eagles in the whole room are upset, the group is second?

Argentine group second?

Absolutely not!How could they overturn!The one who overturned must be the Brazilian!

Looking at the unhappy eyes of his teammates, Rafael said with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that we have reached an agreement."

Everyone, hehe, they are too lazy to complain about this unilateral agreement.

The time was almost up, and since Bielsa had nothing to say to Rafael, he was about to walk out of the locker room.

He had just taken two steps when he was slapped on the head, and then he heard a burst of snickering.

He glanced back, and saw that Redondo had put the paw that patted his head on his shoulder, and said nonchalantly, "Why stop, let's go."

Raphael:

I remember!

When he walked out of the locker room, his sand sculpture teammates who were dawdling behind burst into laughter. Apparently, the scene of "Arrogant vs. Smelly Ghost" just performed was so exciting that they couldn't stop laughing. .

In fact, Rafael is very clear that there is a reason why his coach and teammates did not take Ecuador seriously.

Just like when mentioning La Liga, everyone will think of the "La Liga duo". When it comes to South America, the first thing that comes to mind is the "South American duo" of Argentina and Brazil.

Even with the richness of the ancestors, Uruguay, which is still very rich, is only the "South American top three", and the other seven countries are all younger brothers.

And this time Uruguay and Argentina are in the same group, they have the same goal, they are all competing for the first place in the group, and Colombia is not weak, they have won the World Cup tickets for three consecutive times.

Ecuador's position in South American football has been stable for a long time, and it has always been ranked at the bottom of the pyramid.The last time they entered the top four of the Copa America was in 93, when they were also the hosts.

But after 93, their performance lacked stability and turned into nerve knives.

In the 95 America's Cup, they first lost to Brazil 1-1 in the group stage, and then lost to Colombia 1-[-]. Even though they beat Peru [-]-[-] in the final round, they failed to qualify for the group stage.

But in 97, they drew Argentina 0-0, then beat Paraguay 2-0, and Chile 2-1.

Not to mention dealing with such a crazy knife, even facing Brazil and Uruguay, Bielsa is such a "lunatic", I am afraid that he will only say "as long as we do our best and play our own football, we are the champions", not to mention Say it's against Ecuador.

But Raphael doesn't think there is anything wrong with Bielsa's argument, he has always believed that fate is under his feet!

As soon as Raphael walked out of the locker room, the live broadcast signal cut to the player channel.

Huang Jianxiang couldn't help laughing after seeing the signal ahead in the media area, "We saw Rafael and Redondo walking into the locker room together. I prefer Simeone, who fought side by side in the club, or the equally proud Prince Bernabéu..."

After Raphael stood still in front of the player tunnel, his sand sculpture teammates followed up sparsely. At this time, Huang Jianxiang began to read out Ecuador's squad.

"Ecuador is using a 532-[-]-[-] squad today.

The goalkeeper is Jose Ceballos, who has been playing for Ecuador's Barcelona team since 1991, please note, Ecuador's Barcelona team!

The five defenders are veterans Frickson George, Ivan Hurtado, Alberto Montani, Hogkinios and Uruses de la Cruz.

Notable among these is Freiksen George.Although he is only 25 years old, he is already the player with the most appearances on behalf of the Ecuadorian national team in the defense, and he is also the captain on the field today.

The three midfielders are very worthy of a separate introduction to Jimmy Brandon, because this player who played for Deportivo has been a teammate with Rafael for a year.The other two players are Hector Calabari, who plays for Brazilian giants Sao Paulo, and Luis Moreira, who is currently playing for the New England Revolution in the United States...

The two forwards are Ariel Grassini and Augustin Delgado.Delgado is a typical high center with a strong scoring ability and has won the attention of many European teams. "

In Huang Jianxiang's introduction, the Ecuadorian players have already entered the field. Everyone saw that a famous player crossed the Ecuadorian captain George on the field today, walked towards Rafael, and gave him a high five.

Huang Jianxiang said: "This No. 8 player is the Jimmy Brandon I mentioned earlier."

Rafael and Brandon chatted briefly, and the referee from Peru came out with the ball in his arms. He first extended his hand to the captain of the "home team" and congratulated him.

This made Raphael smile.

Ecuador is not a difficult opponent, and this is not a game that he would look forward to before the game, but on this day, he left his own record in Argentina's century-old team history .

After the referee team entered the court, Raphael also took the little caddy's hand and stepped onto the court.

This is his day.

After queuing up, the national anthem was played. Argentina’s 6-minute national anthem often led them to play a prelude. Players rarely had the opportunity to sing the national anthem, but this moment was also so different for Rafael.

This is a real international arena!

After scanning the players on both sides, the camera finally focused on him, watching him take a photo with his teammates, and watching him walk towards George with the Argentine team flag.

George took a deep look at Rafael, and he would ask the reporter for a photo after the game.

He was Rafael's first opponent after becoming the captain of Argentina.

The coins flew into the sky, and the new Argentine captain was obviously lucky, and they got the ball!

Seeing Rafael's upturned mouth, Huang Jianxiang, who was honored to be the "prophet king" when explaining the friendly match between Argentina and Mexico, had already begun to criticize Ecuador.

"Although the game has not yet started, Ecuador's starting lineup has lost half. This is not because the main force of Argentina on the opposite side is exhausted, but because they are short of major players.

Ecuador is a not-so-typical South American team. Their most commonly used formation is 442. They pay attention to the combination of side and center, and often use medium and long-distance passes to create opportunities. Captain Chala and Delgado's best partner Cavides are both sitting on the bench at the moment, which is bound to affect their performance..."

Although Huang Jianxiang said it very cryptically, the meaning was still expressed.

You Ecuador itself is not a strong team. Now you are missing three thighs. The opponent is Argentina. Want to win?

It's almost impossible.

Ecuador coach Carlos Sevilla gave up the fight with Argentina, which is obviously disgraceful, but thinking about their other two opponents, perhaps it is justifiable to "lay down and let the ridicule" like this.Three (iii) YQχδ.℃òΜ

As soon as Huang Jianxiang finished speaking, Argentina, who had the ball in hand, launched an attack!

Crespo took the lead and ran directly to the penalty area. Obviously, in the game against Mexico, he played for Parma and worked with Veron, who is good at long passes, for a season. He also found the trick to cooperate with Rafael, regardless of Rafael If I can pass it on, he just needs to run!

Raphael didn't let him run in vain. When he was about to rush into the penalty area, the ball fell precisely in front of him.

Ecuadorian defender Hurtado looked extremely embarrassed under his sprint. Fortunately, George beside him resolved the danger.

Crespo was a little depressed, but he still looked at the little ball bully for the first time, ready to praise him for his beautiful pass, but when he turned around, he saw that their chances had come again!

The little ball bully rushed over!

Without hesitation, Crespo glanced at the frontcourt and saw his teammates and the position of Ecuador's defense. He immediately withdrew from the penalty area and beware of offside traps.

He ran just right, and Rafael, who had already rushed to the front of the penalty area, passed to Aimar, who had successfully changed positions with Crespo, and ran to the center without hesitation.

Aimar moved around in the penalty area, opened up the shooting space, and then made a fake shot.

"Inverted triangle pass! A shot from Zanetti! It's so easy, Zanetti will go first for Argentina!" Huang Jianxiang didn't expect the goal to come so easily, let alone Zanetti's goal , But this is Bielsa's football.

After scoring the goal, Zanetti was very happy. He wanted to go to the family stand to find his girlfriend to celebrate, but his teammates didn't give him this chance at all and put him under him.

Rafael has reason to suspect that they are waiting for an opportunity to bully honest people, because Argentines rarely celebrate with a mountain of people, and running is the main theme.

Of course, if that ghost Batty is here, just a machine gun shooting the whole field can ignite the passion of all the fans in the stands.

He walked slowly and slowly. At this time, the others had already dispersed. Zanetti, who hadn't got up from the ground, saw the pair of white shoes with the blue back-shaped logo appearing. Stretched out his hand.

He had to be pulled by the little ball bully to get up.

Raphael pulled the guy up, and then he heard Zanetti say in an experienced tone: "Be careful later, these guys must be playing tricks."

Raphael patted him on the shoulder and ran away slowly, as if he didn't care at all.

This is indeed the case.

Although he hasn't played in the Argentine League for a day, you can look at his front and back, including Aimar, all of them are old drivers who have played in the Copa Libertadores, so worry about it.

Zanetti saw him drifting away and wanted to remind him

I'm not afraid of you getting hurt, I'm afraid of your temper!

After kicking off again, Raphael felt the love from his old teammate Brandon.

Brandon was asked by his coach Carlos Sevilla not to leave Rafael's side for a moment, and it was best to piss him off. After all, if you know a little bit, you know that Rafael is also a little violent.

But Brandon knew very well, it was difficult to stay with Rafael all the time, and it was not easy to foul him, so he could only choose to "chat about home affairs" with Rafael to be more energetic attack.

He followed Rafael non-stop, from Lao Tuo who just got out of class, to Fran who finally had a son, and from the UEFA Europa League next season, somehow the friendship between Rafael and Aimar was involved ...

Even though he was thrown away by Raphael a few times, Brandon still persisted in posting it, and continued to output mental pollution!

This made Raphael very annoying, but it would not be enough to say that he had a conflict with Brandon like this.

When Brandon just talked about where to go on vacation in the summer, Raphael looked at Redondo, yelled at him, and ran away without looking back!

Redondo looked at his long hair flowing in the night sky, and then at Brandon who was chasing after him, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Now they have one more striker on the front line, one more defender on the opposite side, and both sides have one less midfielder. Is it his turn to step forward?

Redondo absolutely wanted to do it, and seeing him run away, Ayala immediately followed.

So much so that the audience in front of the TV found that Argentina was aggressively pressing, and all arrows were fired!

The author has something to say: ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!

Ecuador these days has less sense of existence than Mexico, and information is hard to find!

To write the perfect Asian Cup, there will be hundreds of players in my database that I didn't know at all before.

Let me go ah ah ah ah ah...

qaq!
