ball magic

After Raphael returned to the team, he was called by Lao To to talk.

When I went to Laotuo's little black room, my intuition told Raphael that it would not be a good thing!Although among the many disciples of Lao Tuo, he is an excellent student who can get high marks or even full marks in every exam.

When Raphael was sitting across from Toshack's desk, Lao Toshack was also a little stressed. Everyone knew the reason, and it was because of Raphael's dog temper.

Raphael conquered Toshack in just three games.

He himself dotes on talented players, so what can he do in the face of such a dog-tempered Rafael, he can only show a smile on his face, speak softly, and he is more patient than in front of his son, like a qualified father.

"...So that's why you didn't let me play?" Raphael narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Toshack.

"Proper rest is only good for you. This is my decision. You are still young. For the sake of your future, we don't want you to participate too much in the game, especially our opponent in this round is Hercules (Elcu Rice Football Club, also translated as Hercules Football Club) such a relegation team is the right time for you to rest."

First Real Madrid, then Derby opponent Celta, and then to Atletico Madrid, just short of Barcelona. Depor has beaten the championship opponent and his brothers in the same district since the start of the new season.

Now that he finally had a chance to breathe, Toshack's first thought was to let Raphael rest.

"Don't worry, we will still maintain the lead. We are determined to win the league trophy..." Toshack said earnestly.

Raphael raised his chin slightly, his jaw line was tense, and coupled with the line of his lips, his unhappiness was undoubtedly revealed.

"You can play the whole game now, I know; you are doing well, and I know it too. But proper rest can make your future brighter. Didn't Simeone kick your calf last time? The team doctor said you have to rest .” Toshack decided to blame the team doctor.

Rafael glanced at him and didn't believe this. He probably knew more about the human body than their team doctor.

But this was not a powerful counterattack. Rafael saw that Toshack didn't intend to change his mind, nor did he intend to persist, so he simply got up, "I'm going to train."

As soon as Toshack nodded, he realized that he had left without looking back... gone...

This made Toshack rub his face and start thinking about a question——

Kid, what time do you want to practice extra today?Would he call it a stop himself, or would he let Fran do it?

Raphael's performance was just as Lao Tuo thought. He didn't change today's training plan just because he couldn't play this weekend, so today Rafael also practiced extra as usual.

However, Rafael's hard performance did not conquer the ruthless Laoto. Not only was Rafael not included in the starting list for the weekend's game, he was even left in La Coruña!

Yes, Toshack did such a great job, he didn't even put his name on the 18-man roster, let alone the starting 11.

He completely cut off the idea of ​​Rafael wanting to play this week.

"We'll bring you a present, be a good boy." Fran said with a strange smile.

"fuck off!"

Rafael's response to the captain also included a middle finger.

But no matter how unhappy he is, Rafael still has to stay at the training base in Deportivo on match day.

On this day, he followed his usual rhythm, got up at 6 in the morning, and appeared on Deportivo's training ground an hour and a half earlier.

But he is not alone, because there are several unlucky guys on the training ground who were not selected for the big list.Either they were rested in rotation, or they were not strong enough to even make it to the 18-man roster.

When they arrived at the base, they found that Raphael was already sweating profusely on the court. This is normal, and everyone would be surprised if this scene did not happen.

But the problem is that Raphael is not alone, there are a group of little "vegetarian chickens" around him.

These rookies from the youth team won the small triple crown with Rafael last year, which means that these rookies have actually been with Rafael for a year.

Rafael is leading them to practice lap robbing, and not far away are the director of youth training, Vazquez, and several youth training coaches.

These "cookies" were sent by Vazquez to be Rafael's "sparring partner". This is mainly because Vazquez discovered that Rafael is actually a very qualified captain within a year. He can even be a qualified youth training coach.

Let’s take today as an example. Raphael didn’t say anything after he sent the “vegetable chicken”, and asked Juan to supervise their warm-up, run laps, and then personally lead them to practice lap snatching together.

Youth coaches rarely schedule this practice, but Raphael loves it.

During his youth team year, Raphael would usually be that unlucky "monkey" in the circle, and his partner could be any unlucky ghost.Then his "monkey" will keep stealing, making everyone doubt their lives, and there is nothing they can do about it.

That's okay, the problem is that Raphael usually looks at the opponent severely when some players make mistakes that shouldn't be made.

At first, Vazquez was worried that these young players in the youth training would be psychologically shadowed by Rafael's eyes. Later, he discovered that these little guys developed antibodies after being abused by Rafael.

reason?

Of course, they are more afraid of Raphael's mouth than their eyes!That tongue is just poisonous!

This former Boca squad captain, who has been carefully cultivated since he was 8 years old and was abandoned at the age of 14, is used to the fact that some of his teammates can't keep up with his rhythm, and he is also used to the fact that there are always people who are lagging behind.

But he can't stand his teammates always making low-level mistakes, or making the same mistakes frequently. At this time, Raphael needs to talk to that guy.

Conversation is usually simple.

For example: "Why are you panicking? Will the ball burn your feet? Letting you hit the ball with one kick doesn't mean you can hit the ball in a second. If you want to be a quick shooter, you have to distinguish the occasion!"

Also like: "Calm! Calm! Calm! Let me repeat that a few times! We're playing 'Monkey Walking', and if you're going to act like a monkey that's always flustered, you're going to be a fool who's being played all the time!"

No player can escape Rafael's "talk". After the talk, Juan will always find time to "talk" with that unlucky guy.

In the end, as far as Vazquez knew, Juan even organized a "mutual aid group" in just a month or two, sharing what Raphael "talked" to them alone, from other people Find balance and happiness in the bitterness——

All living beings here suffer, and I am not the only one who is unlucky.

It's hard work, but that's all.

After the captain was promoted to the first team, the training field of the youth team became much more dull, and no one had any fun because the devil left...

So today Vazquez came here to send "warmth" to the young players and let them come to accept the baptism of the "old captain"'s poisonous tongue again.

But in less than two months, these young players who had been convinced by Raphael before the captain turned into complete fans. They even envied Juan to death!

Today, they were once again poisoned by Rafael's poisonous tongue. Not only were they well-behaved and obedient, they trained hard, and they honestly admitted their mistakes when they were criticized.

After this unofficial training session was over, they were still sticking to Rafael's side, either picking up the ball for him, helping him count, or asking for advice while Raphael was resting.

That's right!What shocked the players of the first team who were not included in the big list was that they dared to ask Rafael to give advice!

And Raphael actually pointed them out!

Whether it is a striker, a midfielder, or even a goalkeeper, they can all have a share, and the goalkeeper even has preferential treatment!

"Speed, Lucas, your bottoming speed is not fast enough, be more decisive! I will accompany you again, and shoot from the angle just now."

This really makes it difficult for them to tell whether the goalkeeper is serving as a training partner for Rafael, or whether Rafael is serving as a training partner for the small goalkeeper.

Deportivo's third goalkeeper Nuno was thoughtful.

Deportivo's game today is at night. Facing Hercules, they easily won the victory, becoming the only team in La Liga that has maintained victory after the first four rounds.

The next day the team had a holiday, but the word "holiday" would never appear on Rafael.

When Juan got up at 6 o'clock, he found Rafael reading on the balcony. He felt dizzy when he saw the thick "Physiology of Sport and Exercise (Exercise Physiology)", but this also made him have a soul torture-I, want to No, learn some English?

Raphael took him to the gym and let the kid train by himself, and he punched himself for an hour.

Rafael's height in his previous life was 187 cm. Now that he has grown to such a height, since he is no longer developing, he can pursue something else.

Juan almost looks silly in the gym.

That sandbag is so strong!Can carry it for an hour!

Because today is the first team's holiday, Raphael originally planned to go directly to the youth training for training. As a result, more than a dozen players came one after another. You must know that the Deportivo first team only has about 30 players.

Among them are the training madman Rivaldo, as well as Fran, Mauro, and Armando.

Juan was full of emotion, those who are stronger than them work harder than them, how can they live this day?I can only fight!

"Hey, kid." Fran, who came late, greeted Raphael, "Smile, we won yesterday!"

Raphael glanced at him, too lazy to ignore him.

Today's training is a bit special for Raphael, because a brave guy came to him and recommended himself, hoping to be his partner.

Rafael readily agreed, because this guy is the team's substitute goalkeeper Nuno.

It's better to have a goalkeeper as a sparring partner than nothing, and Raphael is very satisfied with the guy he sent to the door.

Nuno is now just an ordinary substitute goalkeeper, living in the shadow of Songo'ao and the second goalkeeper Kuba, and is only Deportivo's third goalkeeper.

But Nuno's future is far beyond Song'ao and Kuba, which may be due to his having a different agent-Jorge Mendes.

Rafael may be one of the very few players who is not interested in Mendes.

The world may only see Mendes's successful, beautiful, and huge transfer operations. He is even one of the agents admired by Manchester United coach Ferguson.

But Raphael still doesn't like him, just like he didn't like any agent who came to him to recommend himself, or even wanted to buy his third-party ownership since he was 8 years old.

Because the Mendes of the future are no different than these agents.

Not only did he rely on the two cash cows of Ronaldo and Mourinho to become a world-famous agent giant, but he also did a business of third-party ownership of players that exudes a rancid smell.

To put it harshly, he was an elegant human, mouth, and businessman.

Of course, Mendes will package these more beautifully. He seems to get what he wants from the players, which is "fair".

On the third day after Nuno appeared in front of Rafael, Jorge Mendes appeared in front of Rafael.

Mendez is a guy with a face full of enthusiasm, passion, and always gestures when he speaks.

And to become a top agent in the future, Mendes also has a dexterous tongue. The realm of a brilliant tongue may not be reached yet, but it is still no problem to be fluent.

But the eloquent Mendes failed to convince Rafael. He talked about a lot of plans for Rafael and looked at him full of expectations, but Rafael just said to him: "No, thank you, I have an agent."

Despite his preparations, Mendes couldn't hide his disappointment, but he remained polite.

He was about to say goodbye to Raphael, planning to "swipe" next time, but he heard Raphael shouted: "Juan! Come here!"

Juan da da da came running.

Raphael pushed him in front of Mendes, and said to Mendes, "He needs an agent."

Juan's eyes widened, and he looked at Mendez who was examining him.

This is not to say that Juan was very pleasantly surprised, but rather a little grievance-I want to be a manager with the male god!Is Anderson okay?

Yes, this comes from Juan's dislike of Mendes.

The author has something to say: Regarding brokers, my opinion is that we can’t do without them. After the implementation of the Bosman Act, the era of brokers is doomed.

But what kind of broker is a good broker?I feel like there are no answers, not even conclusive conclusions.

Even an "excellent agent" like Mendes is "Xiangwei ice cream" in my eyes.

He has an attitude towards top players such as Ronaldo, Mourinho, Ronaldo, Pepe, and Deco, but at the same time he is contaminated with the business of third-party ownership.

The sale of third-party ownership of players has been called "modern slavery" by FIFA.

Whether Mendes is cooperating with Deportivo, cooperating with Valencia, or becoming a shareholder of the Wolves now, everything is driven by interests.

Of course, everyone has two sides.A person has disadvantages and also has advantages. Rafa doesn't need a boss, but Juan's younger brother will not suffer from such a manager.

At least in this period.
