Chapter 41

Rafael looked at Rivaldo.

He knew Rivaldo well enough, and maybe Rivaldo thought he knew him well enough, so he said this.

You must know that Rivaldo is not a talkative person, let alone a meddlesome person. He is indifferent to everyone and everything outside his family and is very self-centered.

From a certain point of view, Raphael thinks that Rivaldo is very similar to him, they are the same kind of people.

So Rivaldo's ability to say such words at this moment means that he is concerned about Raphael, and this kind of concern is also extremely rare.

Maybe it was earlier, when Rafael said he wanted to go to U20, the Brazilian wanted to say these words to him.

Rafael felt that this was a rare kindness released by Rivaldo, which made Rafael appreciate it.But he made his own decisions, so he just hooked Rivaldo's shoulders, ignored the camera, looked at the Brazilian and said, "Man, did you forget I'm only 16? The Copa America is good, but the World Youth Championship is also good. .”

After a pause, he smiled, "The future is not something I can decide by myself."

Rivaldo was silent.

Because he was speechless, it seemed that this was indeed the case—Raphael could not decide his own future.

But who will let Rafael go to the World Youth Championship?Do Argentines have grass in their heads?

Rivaldo then patted Rafael on the back as a response and comfort, and ended the topic. They have to focus on the game in front of them!

The Laco players behind the two heaved a sigh of relief. If the two just had a falling out, then...

Since there is no infighting in Deportivo, at least there is no conflict between the two most important thighs, after the game started, the players in Deportivo still followed the rhythm they liked, and it took almost no time to control the rhythm.

Toshack's tactic of allowing the three front midfielders to take turns acting as attackers, each of whom can be an organizer or a terminator, has recently attracted widespread attention from his colleagues.

Because the attack power of the trident composed of Jaminia, Rivaldo and Raphael is beyond description!

After Real Madrid replaced Capello as the coach, it was no surprise that they fell behind in terms of offensive power-although he evolved from a 1:0ist to a 2:0ist, he still couldn't satisfy the discerning Real Madrid fans.

What the Meilingers love is a coach like Toshack who keeps attacking until the last moment and can bring championships.

So they won't love Toshack who can't win the championship, which is why Toshack dismissed get out of class.

Attack and championship, the noble Lord Mei Linger wants it all!

This is much better for Barcelona fans, because they have Figo and Ronaldo this season!They averaged 2.7 goals per game!Are you happy!

But even cooler than them are the Depor fans.

In this game they beat the Spaniard 5:1!Averaged more than 3 goals per game!

In this game, Rafael, who readjusted the small goals, played with more passion. This passion is more active running, more attempts to shoot, and Rafael's desire for goals is still revealed. undoubtedly.

However, his way of playing football is not "independent". After all, apart from Fran, the midfielders and frontcourt players are more independent than him.

But the reason why the three can still cooperate is that none of the three of them were born as forwards.Even an offensive midfielder like Rivaldo who can win the Golden Boot is still a midfielder.

The complementarity between the three also made the Spaniard's coach Rodnas very helpless with them.

Take Rafael as an example. During the pre-match preparations, he spent a lot of energy on defensive arrangements. In order to keep Rafael in a cage, he asked four people to help defend him today!

The results of it?

It's still too difficult, the two central defenders, Pochettino and Sebastian Herrera, can't do anything about him, and the two defensive midfielders, Bunovic and Preliga, can't do anything about him. This kid is pretty tough—although he's skinny!

In the 41st minute of the first half, Rafael walked between Bunovic and Francisco. This is not something that only speed and explosive power can do!This shows that Rafael's physical fitness is monster-level, he can adapt to this kind of confrontation, and he can also deal with this kind of confrontation!

Such Rafael can penetrate their defense alone, but he is not alone, he has teammates, Rivaldo, Forlan, Jaminha, and two fast players full back...

Toshack's three attacking midfielder without a striker actually has a more terrifying play in the eyes of Rodners-remove Fran and put a center forward, but this is obviously unrealistic, because it is The captain of Deportivo, he is the soul of the team, and the local fans will not agree.

At the post-match press conference, Rodners suppressed his depression, first praised Potoshack from a tactical point of view, and then began to praise his team.

Since he wants to stabilize his handsome position, he must lift his opponent to the sky.

"I think Deportivo will be the champions of the season. We were prepared before playing against them. Now it seems that we are too optimistic and too conservative. This game made me realize that Deportivo is already A brand new team, they will win more glory this season."

When Rhodes said this, he looked at Rafael, which was a hint.

Yes, today Raphael, who made two shots and one pass, scored 3 goals, attended the first post-match press conference in his life.

Toshack persuaded him thus—

"Want to be called up to the national team? Want to go to Malaysia?"

Raphael came obediently, like a tame cheetah with its claws retracted.

"Rafael's performance today amazed me," Rodnas said, looking at Rafael.

Raphael just saluted him politely,

Rodnas didn't expect him to respond like this, so he continued to brag, "Bobby Robson thought Ronaldo was the best before. My team has played against Barcelona, ​​but we only lost 2 goals."

Toshack looked at Rodnas differently.

He has never seen such a coach who can throw blame. After the Spaniard lost to Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Deportivo in a row, he can still make a strong and weak comparison. The more goals he concedes, all because Rafael is better than Ronaldo superior……

This miraculous posture and ability to shake the pot also made him admire.

Rodnas was not the main character today. After he briefly answered a few questions and blew up on Raphael, the reporters couldn't wait to turn to Raphael.

While the flashing lights came and went, Raphael answered the first question. It was a reporter from L'Equipe.

"Rafael, we all know that you have been selected for the Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo is now the favorite to win the Ballon d'Or. Do you think you can compete with him?"

This is obviously a pit, and it is still a huge pit in the abyss. Toshack scolded the French in his heart!

Raphael has already answered the "L'Equipe" reporter [1], and said lightly, "I don't think I can compete with Ronaldo in this year's Golden Globe Award. This is the first time in my career. season. He had a very good two years at PSV -"

Toshack was relieved and relieved, he didn't expect Raphael to be so good at talking.

But Lao Tuo was slapped in the face by his disciples a second later.

"But I will compete with Ronaldo in other areas, such as the scorer list. He is an extremely good player, a good opponent, and his presence motivates me to go forward."

As soon as this remark came out, the entire press hall fell silent.

Only then did Toshack remember that his beloved disciple was the one who blatantly fought back and slammed Maradona hard!

Competing with Ronaldo for the goalscoring charts?

In fact, this is a fact. If you only look at the league goal list, Rafael, who has a stable output, is actually higher than Ronaldo, who has to fight for the league and the UEFA Cup at the same time.

But to say it directly, this is too high-profile!

Although Lao Tuo doesn't think that Raphael needs to be humble, he shouldn't be so high-profile, because this is equivalent to declaring war, which will bring endless pressure——

The media will take it seriously!

In the following season, they will pay attention to the performance of the two of them every week, and in the next week, they will continue to mention this topic constantly!

If Rafael loses the La Liga Golden Boot competition in the end, these uncrowned kings will also criticize Rafael, and they will never show mercy!

Even thinking about Rafael's youth, he just got "sympathy" and "encouragement" from these uncrowned kings. "I hope" Rafael will continue to challenge Ronaldo next season. Maybe someone will advise him to learn to keep a low profile. Learn to be humble, learn to be pragmatic.

This might irritate Rafael even more...

But Raphael said everything, can he take it back?

Answering the reporter's question for the first time, he set the tone with such arrogance. The reporters flocked to Rafael like a group of tiger sharks smelling blood. They were eager to get more from Raphael!

"Did you and Rivaldo have a disagreement before the game? In the player tunnel?"

"I don't think so," Rafael looked at the reporter with sharp eyes. "It's not so much a disagreement as an advice."

"Pochettino wanted to swap jerseys with me after the game. We were both Argentines, so we had a chat about the national team. He wanted me to play for Argentina, which was a dream for me, so I mentioned that I wanted to play for Argentina. I can be selected for the U20s, and Waldo (nickname) thinks I have what it takes to play in the Copa America."

A smile appeared on the corner of Raphael's mouth at this moment, "If you know Waldo a little bit, you will know that this can be regarded as his recognition of me and his encouragement to me."

This clarifies that there are both parties and "witnesses", and the seniors care about the younger generation. The facts are clear and the process is clear, and the reporters are not interested immediately.

But Raphael didn't want to end this topic.

Ignoring Toshack's look at him, he continued: "I very much hope to be selected for the U20 and play under Mr. Pekerman. When I was only 14 years old, he once inspected me. , also gave me encouragement. I hope he can see my current performance, can recognize me, and let me become a player under his command."

Toshack felt helpless when he heard Rafael talk about u20, but when he heard Raphael mentioned that Pekerman had inspected him and encouraged him, Toshack had a sense of identity—he finally agreed Why is Rafael going to u20?

As the birthplace of modern football, Britain still has some special courtesy. For example, there are 4 football associations: England, Scotland, Ireland, and Northern Ireland.

He is Welsh and can freely choose to play for England or Wales.

But he finally chose to play for Wales and became the national team's thigh, but when he was a teenager, he also longed to be selected for the youth team of the national team to attract the attention of the coach...

If at that time I could get the coach's attention, or even personal praise and encouragement, it would be a dream, not to mention the improvement of confidence!

Reminiscent of Raphael being expelled from the Boca youth academy at the age of 14, Toshak felt sensitively that Pekerman might have a more special meaning to Raphael.

This is indeed the case.

Rafael is really eager to play in the World Youth Championship, not the Copa America.

As for whether his participation in the World Youth Championship will cause a psychological shadow on young players from other countries, Rafael doesn't care about this.

Now Argentina is the well-deserved king in the World Youth Championship!

Even without him, Pekerman will lead the team to win the cup!

As for the Copa America, if Passarella really recruited him, he would not refuse for the blue and white jersey, but Rafael knew clearly that there would not be a few days of honeymoon between him and Passarella.

When the press conference ended, the uncrowned kings were contradictory, and their contradiction stemmed from the contradiction shown by Raphael——

Say he is not crazy, he is really crazy.Crazy until he was only 16 years old, he threw a white glove to Ronaldo in just a few games, and wanted to compete with him.

Call him arrogant, his low profile in the national team is so low that many Spanish reporters present are extremely jealous!Jealousy to death!

Our national team recruited you, gave you bonuses, subsidies, and immigration for your whole family, but you refused all of them. All your extravagance is to be selected for the U20 and play in the World Youth Championship?

Their sadness at this moment can only be understood and empathized with the lemon essence who watched the arch enemy lift the Champions League trophy.

And Raphael wants to play in the World Youth Championship and wants to be "Pekkelman's child", but it is actually because of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Yes, Rafa also becomes lemon zest.

When he was in a bar in London and saw Aimar and Riquelme wearing blue and white jerseys and running on the green grass of Malaysia, he was so envious, because he should have been one of them.

Seven years later, when he thought he had forgotten about football and even lost himself, he saw Pekerman in the command area at the World Cup in Germany (in 06), and saw Rick Ermei danced lightly, seeing that Aimar had become the idol of the teenager, he was so jealous that he had to admit——

When he got the first football in his life, he was doomed. Only in the football world can he find himself and be satisfied.

The author has something to say: [1] "French Football" is under the banner of "L'Equipe".

Hello everyone, I am fighting for the Lemon System for my devil's dignity.
