Although he realized that Rafael would recommend someone to him because of the old Robson, Moratti took the initiative to bring the topic to Crespo and Batty.

The former is younger and has proven himself in Serie A and Copa America. Moratti really likes it.

The latter is Batty, which is the name Moratti has infinite respect for.

"I don't know, Massimo. I like Hernan, and I like Gabe, but I think I've recommended it enough."

When Raphael said this, he heard Moratti remain silent, obviously a little disappointed.

"Masimo, our striker is so strong that the whole of Europe is envious of our striker and our midfield. Of course, it is an honor to be a part of it.

I think you always want to bring the best players to Inter Milan, and it is not easy to run a team as great as Inter Milan.But someone comes and someone leaves, football is always like this, do you want Zamorano to leave? "

Raphael's words were very direct, and it took two seconds for Moratti to say: "Maybe so."

"Then I will do my best to help new players integrate into the team." This is the only thing Raphael can say, and the only thing he can do.

It took two seconds for Moratti to laugh, but his voice was full of satisfaction, "Rafa, I believe you will do a great job, you are born to be a leader, and you will become a brand new banner of Milan City."

But he brought it all to the city of Milan.

Their conversation ended quickly, and when Raphael hung up the phone, he walked towards Aimar and squeezed into the single sofa forcibly.

Seeing that the armchair was suffering pain it shouldn't have to bear, Aimar could only shrink back inside as much as possible, and then asked him, "How does it feel to be a sandwich biscuit?"

"It's not good," Raphael muttered after rubbing his neck, "especially because I like them."

"Then you must like Inter Milan." Aimar was very sure of this, otherwise Rafael would not care so much.

"The fans love me, Massimo loves me, not to mention Bobby." Rafael admitted these generously, "I enjoy it all, and I don't want to spoil it all."

"You did a great job," Aimar couldn't help but praised him, "I didn't expect you to use the request. It seems that Moratti can't bear it."

Rafael glanced at him, then stretched out four fingers and said: "It's a team that wants to kill Inter Milan. Samuel, Ashley Cole, Panucci, Crespo, should spend a lot of money." For less money, plus it's mid-July, Bobby doesn't have to worry about stuffing a dozen guys into the locker room."

Living in Italy for 2 years also allowed him to fully understand the efficiency of the Italians.Regardless of the fact that there is still one and a half months left in the transfer window, it would be great if Inter Milan could reach these few transfers before the end of the transfer window.

"Why not Gabe?" Aymar asked.

The one who wants to leave the team now should be Batty, right?

"He may want to join Inter Milan, but I don't think he can leave Fiorentina easily this season. If Massimo can do it, I will look at him with admiration."

On the second day, Raphael received another call from Robson.

"You recommended Ashley Cole? The one at Arsenal?"

"Yes," Rafael said, "I think he is a good left back. He is young, fast, full of impact, and can attack and defend well."

Listening to his praise of the England players, the old Robson was obviously a little happy, but he still said: "I have observed him before, but I don't think Wenger will let him leave the team easily, and he will definitely hit us hard."

Listening to his complaints, Rafael knew that this old-fashioned British coach still likes to control the transfer by himself, and he doesn't want to be slaughtered as a fat sheep, so he can only persuade him, "The whole world knows that we want to buy a left back. Especially with Sylvester going to Manchester United, so it doesn't matter who we buy."

"That's true." Old Robson said with emotion before saying to Raphael, "How good is your personal relationship with Batty?"

"If you're wondering if I can push him to come to Inter, I think I might. But I don't want to mislead Ivan Zamorano."

The old Robson knew that Zamorano had a very good relationship with the Argentine barbecue gang. Rafael obviously didn't want Zamorano to think that he had to leave Inter Milan in order to promote Batty's transfer.

For Raphael's worries, the old Robson could only tell him with a wry smile: "Massimo has notified Ivan's agent that they can find another home. He said that Inter Milan can make concessions on the transfer fee." .”

This allowed Raphael to fully understand what "Moratti speed" is, and made him realize Moratti's determination, which made him choose to remain silent.

"Rafa, football is like this." The old Robson could only comfort his beloved disciple like this.

"Yes, it's always like this in football." Rafael repeated the coach's words softly, "I'll give Gabe a call."

"That's an excellent player, but it's hard for me to guarantee that he can get an absolute main position," Robson said with a wry smile.

Batistuta, he has a chance to get Batistuta, but to say such a thing!

So old Robson murmured to his disciples: "This is a sweet trouble, but I want to comfort myself, few colleagues can enjoy this sweetness like me."

Raphael shook his head after hearing this, not daring to remind his beloved coach

We are Inter Milan, a team known as the "Black Hole of Stars".

Rafael hung up the phone after discussing Batty's position after joining and the number of possible appearances with the old Robson.

This incident obviously affected his mood, so that it didn't take long for Aimar to hand him a cup of tea, "You don't look very happy, why?"

"For my friendship with Ivan." Raphael took the cup of tea before pouring out his troubles, "Masimo has already told his agent that he still wants Gabe, and I even want to be a middleman .”

"...Maybe your friendship with him will come to an end." Of course Aimar knows the risks involved, "But you can't refuse yet, because you are the captain of Inter Milan and the vice-captain of Argentina."

"Obviously so."

Aimar was speechless for a moment, and in the end he could only hug him as comfort, because he couldn't help much in such matters.

After a few seconds, he still asked: "Will you text Ivan? Tell him it has nothing to do with you?"

"Call him in a few minutes. I think I should call him and let him know it's been a great two years with him."

This made Aimar rub his blond hair again and said softly: "Then he will not blame you, you are a huge fan of your former teammates, Jaminha and Rivaldo both love you to death, They're still Brazilians!"

This is not the first time he mentioned Jaminya, and Rafael finally couldn't help wondering, "What did he do that day?"

As a result, his expressionless face turned into Aimar, "He eats my jealousy like crazy, and he doesn't like me very much."

This sentence successfully pokes Rafael's smile, because his beloved Pabrido now has "jealous" written on his face.

After feeling better, Rafael called Zamorano.

The Chilean is also enjoying his vacation, but he will return to the team earlier than Rafael, and of course he may not return to Milan now.

He told Rafael on the phone, "I know this has nothing to do with you, but I have to say that your call is very important to me, because I also like you as a teammate, and of course we are friends now. Rafa, remember next time we meet Give me your jersey and be proactive."

This made Rafael laugh, "I will take the initiative to ask you to change the jersey, and I hope you are doing well in the future."

Zamorano was obviously not satisfied with his rhetoric, and complained: "It sounds very official and polite, but I am already looking forward to meeting Inter Milan in the European war."

Raphael smiled and said, "Then you can only take my jersey as comfort."

After chatting with Zamorano, Rafael called Batty. He knew that Batty had the idea of ​​leaving Fiorentina, so from the perspective of the captain of Inter Milan and Batty's friends, he should make this call.

Batty, like him and Aimar, was also enjoying the holidays, so he didn't answer, and it took 2 hours to call him back.

Because he was one of his own, after Batty greeted him, Rafael asked directly: "Gabe, do you want to come to Inter Milan? Massimo wants you to join very much."

Obviously he was still too straightforward, and Batty on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Raphael knows his entanglement, and he also knows what leaving Fiorentina means to Batty and Fiorentina fans.

What is before Batty now may be the most difficult choice he has made in his life, which makes him feel more painful than whether to cut his hair or whether to participate in the 98 World Cup.

Raphael was able to understand his mood and comforted him: "I know this is not easy for you, you can give yourself some time to think about it."

He wanted to give Batty time, but Batty stopped him: "Rafa! How would you choose? Rafa, beloved fans and honor, how would you choose?"

If the person on the other end of the phone was not Raphael, but Simeone, or even Redondo, Barty would not ask them such a question.

Because he knows how Simeone will choose, and he also knows what choice Redondo will make!

But the person on the other end of the phone was Rafael, the one who had the courage to give up his first chance to participate in the World Cup at the age of 18.

Now Raphael is 19 years old and already has everything except the World Cup. He may not understand his own contradictions at all, but Batty still wants to know what choice he will make between honor and fans.

"It depends on what we want," Rafael said. "Some people say that the pampas eagles are always wandering. This is because we yearn for honor. This is the reason we wander in Europe. The place stays for a long time, it must be because we love that land deeply.

I'm luckier than you, Gabe, because I've got everything I wanted at the club and will continue to challenge for trophies throughout my career.

I also like Inter Milan, it is my favorite team at the moment, the fans and the club give me everything they can.But even so, I can't guarantee that my future will stay here forever, because I don't know if there will be something unbearable in the future. "

It sounds ambiguous, but Batty knows that this is Raphael's heartfelt voice.

"Like?"

"Let's say three or four coaches in a season."

Batty couldn't help laughing, "So this is why you don't join Milan, Real Madrid or Barcelona? It feels like you can only join Manchester United in the future."

In Europe, only the La Liga duo and the Milan duo can fire three or four coaches in one season, and Ferguson is the only team among the giants that has been coached by one coach for a long time.

Raphael said softly: "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Barty asked again: "Will you make an effort? I mean, give Moratti a chance?"

Rafael smiled: "I'm doing such things now, such as contacting you."

Why would he be a sandwich between Moratti and Robson, and a sandwich between Zamorano and Barty, if it wasn't to avoid that?

His meaning made Batty laugh heartily.

"Sounds like a pretty reliable team leader, then I have to consider whether to give you a chance to become my double captain."

"I am looking forward."

The author has something to say: life is not easy, the captain sighed.
