On the first day of the millennium, Sir Robson received a gift he will never forget

The picture of Raphael kissing Aimar, like a thunderstorm on the ground, exploded in the New Year.

Although the Argentine media did not cut the beginning and end of the report, leaving only key shots, but when other media reprinted it, they often only reprinted the picture of Rafael kissing Aimar.

So Robson Sr. could only sigh and do an interview with the BBC before boarding the plane to Brazil.

Yes, his first interview in the new year was to formally respond to the "scandal" of his beloved disciple.

Facing the camera, the first thing old Robson did was to criticize!

"I saw some different news, I mean the full version. Some media outlets that I don't want to criticize publicly are irresponsible! If you have seen the full video, everyone knows what is going on.

Don't focus on Rafa's emotional problems anymore, and don't let Aimar feel troubled, he is a good boy, and his performance this season is unparalleled.

Our winter break has ended early, and Rafael is about to go to Brazil to prepare for the Club World Cup. I think he must be looking forward to the Club World Cup, playing against champions from all over the world, which will inspire all his fighting spirit ..."

There is no doubt that Robson Sr. is one of the people who knows Raphael best in the world.

Because he really thought so, and he did so.

After the arrival of the new year, Rafael's vacation ended earlier than other players, all because they were preparing for the first Club World Cup held in Brazil, and they were going to win the championship of the best club in the world!

This is a trophy that is not in Inter Milan's honor room, and it is also a vacant column in his personal honor book.

This made him say goodbye to Aimar with only a little bit of nostalgia, and then boarded the plane to Rio de Janeiro with Luis, Jia, Andrea and Messi.

And what about Aimar?

He chose to stay at home with his parents for two more days before flying back to Spain.

After Raphael arrived in Rio de Janeiro, he returned Xiao Jia to Lao Jia, and entrusted Messi and Andrea to him by the way.

Sun and sand are more suitable for them than playing game consoles in hotels.

"Are you going to train with this brat?" Jaminia asked, looking at Louis.

Raphael is not worried: "He is very obedient, and his dad will come."

In the pretense of going to the United States to accompany his sister, Javier, who actually just wants to live a two-person world with his wife, will also fly to Rio to watch the game.

They said goodbye at the airport, and when Raphael got into the car, the staff member said uncomfortably, "There is one thing I want to tell you first."

Raphael raised an eyebrow.

Just when he thought that Moratti had arranged for him some kind of job such as an exclusive interview in Brazil, he heard the staff say: "Real Madrid... and our hotel... and they have a lot of supporters. I heard their staff say that they There will also be a lot of work to be done interacting with fans.”

Raphael was silent.

With so many hotels in Rio de Janeiro, Real Madrid and Inter Milan chose the same hotel?

Because of the language relationship, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a huge influence throughout Latin America.

And what about Inter Milan?

If this World Cup was held in Argentina, Inter Milan would have many fans to support them, but now it is in Brazil...

Then the staff told Rafael more details.

"Fortunately, we have different floors from Real Madrid, but both clubs are in a hotel, which means that we have to share some facilities with their players, such as gyms and swimming pools, physiotherapy centers..."

Found that the voice of the staff is getting smaller and smaller, as if frustrated by this.

It was also the first time for Rafael to stay in a hotel with another team, but the opponent was Real Madrid, so he found it interesting.

"It's not bad, after all, we are all acquaintances."

Since his transfer to Inter Milan, he will play against Real Madrid every season.

This year they have not yet been a member of the Champions League knockout round, so they have to compete in the Club World Cup.

Seeing that the captain didn't mind very much, the staff also told Raphael a lot of news.

"You are the first player to return to the team. European players should arrive one after another tomorrow morning or tomorrow morning. Some of Diego and the others will arrive in the evening, and some will arrive tomorrow..."

Raphael doesn't care when his teammates arrive, but if they return late, he is obliged to extend his palm to them and ask for a fine.

After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and sent Aimar a message.

Aimar replied to him almost immediately

You and Real Madrid are really destined, but I think Fernando and the others may think this is a bad relationship.

Raphael quickly replied: Then I'll ask that Mr. Big Mouth.

He did what he said, and immediately called Redondo.

As he guessed in his mind, as one of the four captains of Real Madrid and the only South American among the captains, Redondo had already arrived in Rio de Janeiro last night.

When they arrived at the hotel, Raphael saw the figure of Mr. Big Mouth.

After exchanging hugs, Redondo reached out to Luis, "Luis, do you still know me? I'm Phil."

Louis looked at him, then at Raphael.

Obviously, the information about Redondo in his mind was blank.

Raphael had to remind him: "Have you forgotten? Phil sent you an oversized plane for Christmas."

Louis immediately shouted excitedly: "Plane! Big plane! Fair!"

He finally remembered.

Although what he remembered, maybe it was just the plane.

Redondo kissed his little face, and after getting on the elevator, he asked Raphael in a low voice: "Little baby's height..."

Raphael said helplessly: "I've checked it a few times, and it's okay."

Redondo frowned and said, "He won't be the second you, right? Of course, if he doesn't play football, it doesn't matter if he develops later."

Raphael shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't want to continue this topic, Redondo simply brought up the schedule.

"There are two groups. After three rounds, the top two teams will enter the final, and No.2 will enter the third place competition. This also means that if we want to play against each other, we must win the first place in the group."

Raphael has seen the schedule before.

Although this competition system is a bit weird, the original intention of FIFA is to reduce the burden on European teams to the greatest extent.

Even so, they had to play two more games than other teams in Serie A and La Liga during the game, and they had to find time to make up for the two missed league games.

"Obviously our most important opponent in the group stage is the Brazilians. We will play Vasco da Gama and you will play Corinthians. If we win the group, we will meet in the final."

When Redondo heard him mentioning the Brazilians, the corners of his lips curled up.

For the Argentines, there is nothing better than winning the championship against the Brazilians on the Brazilian territory.

As it was for Raphael, so it was for him.

They had lunch together.

Because of the heat and the need for babysitter Louise, they squandered the afternoon in the pool.

After playing for most of the afternoon, Louis was drowsy after dinner.

After Raphael put him to sleep, before he could reply to the work text message, he heard someone knocking on the door.

After he opened the door, two bald heads appeared in front of his eyes.

It's Ronaldo and Carlos!

Technically, it was Carlos who pushed Ronaldo in a wheelchair.

Ronaldo and Carlos are well-known good friends. They eat and live together in the national team and travel together in nightclubs.

After giving Raphael a surprise, the two Brazilian bald men consciously lowered their voices because they saw Luis.

Raphael threw a bottle of soda to each of them from the refrigerator before looking at Ronaldo: "Come cheer for us?"

Ronaldo smiled and nodded: "Of course! I also accepted the TV station's invitation to explain the game. Actually, I would watch the game without the invitation. I'm from Rio!"

Raphael raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then you have to be ready to answer a question. They will definitely ask you whether you support Corinthians or Vasco da Gama."

Yes, Corinthians and Vasco da Gama are still brothers from the same city.

If Ronaldo supports one side, he will definitely offend the fans of the other side.

Carlos smiled and said, "Brother, he's right, you have to think about this."

"What's the point of this, of course I support Corinthians!" Ronaldo said decisively.

But he then pointed his fist at Rafael: "There are coming and going, do you still support Boca now?"

This is obviously a sensitive topic, but it is his friends and teammates who are asking questions, and Rafael will not hide it.

"Of course, I will always support Boca Juniors."

Carlos was surprised: "Even if they kicked you out?"

Rafael nodded and explained to the two curious Brazilians: "You have to admit that Boca is so unique, and I took root in it when I was 8 years old and became a member of them."

The two Brazilians were speechless.

Boca Juniors is of course special and the best way to understand that team is to understand Maradona and vice versa.

In such a team that has been branded by Maradona, it is not surprising that players with personality like Rafael have been cultivated.

This also made Carlos sigh with emotion: "If you said that in an interview, those Boca people would not hold up the banner that this is hell."

What responded to him was Raphael's smile.

Carlos didn't react at first, and it took a while to realize how arrogant the guy's smile was.

So what about the Boca fans holding up "Here is Hell" banners at the Candy Box Stadium?

In this summer, Argentine fans also played for him the banner "God created the world in 6 days, and created Raphael in 7 days"!

oh!Can't bring up that banner, any Rio person will be angry!
