ball magic

On May 2001, 5, in the Milan Derby, Inter Milan defeated their rivals in the same city and achieved a double play against AC Milan this season.

Being double-killed by a rival in the same city and watching the opponent enter the Champions League final for three consecutive years is obviously a huge stimulus for Milan fans.

This allowed them to start shouting slogans before the end of the game, and let Galliani and Berlusconi give an explanation!

Because what they want is not just a coaching change, they want the team to spend money on signings, and they want Milan to return to the top of Europe!

This also allowed the camera to be given to Galliani many times.

After the game, some extreme fans threw firecrackers and other debris into the stadium to vent their dissatisfaction, which made the security personnel escort the players of the two teams to leave the field immediately.

Such a big scene, such a big drama, made many Inter Milan players return to the locker room to discuss whether there will be big signings next season.

They discussed in full swing, expressing their opinions, and some people even gave a list of signings, and saw that Rafael had already taken a battle shower, greeted Juan and left...Gone...Gone!

Everyone was confused, did Raphael not wait for Juan?

Vieri asked Juan dumbfounded: "Why did he go?"

Although he was asking Juan, he already had a guess in his heart, maybe it was Aimar who came!

No, it's Saturday, don't they have a game this weekend?

Juan said cheerfully, "Ronnie is back! She came to watch the game, and now Rafa wants to go shopping with her."

Vieri: "..."

Oh, he remembered, this guy is not only a Mr. ptt, but also a madman who loves sisters.

But there are many fans of Veronica in the locker room, such as Simeone.

Simeone was shocked: "Veronica is here? Why didn't we know?"

Vieri:

You guy has a wife, right?

Also, why should I tell you when people come to watch my younger brother's game?

Juan naturally couldn't answer, and then he was "beaten up" by Simeone and Saviola.

Simeone didn't forget to warn him: "Next time, remember to inform in advance and do your job well."

As a result, Juan gave him an aggrieved look, but said loudly: "I want to sue! I want to tell Ronnie that you bullied me!"

Simeone: "..."

You are really promising!

The locker room was very lively, and Rafael had already seen his sister in the player-only parking lot.

After giving his sister a huge hug, he was praised by Veronica, which also made the corners of his lips curl up.

Because Veronica did not sit in the family seat during the game, she was not photographed by the Italian media, but when the pair of siblings strolled down the street hand in hand, how could no fans and the media notice it?

But the two parties don't care about these, they just shop around and buy whatever they want.

After the two had been shopping for more than an hour, Raphael had a bunch of paper bags in his hand.

The reporter complained about Raphael while following the film

Turns out you, too, will be a portrait hanger.

But Raphael didn't have the impatience of most male compatriots shopping with their mothers, wives or girlfriends. He enjoyed such moments very much, and this was also a rare time he and his sister could spend together.

After shopping with my sister for a while, they came to the pre-booked restaurant together.

Javier and Ada were already waiting for them with Louis.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Veronica looked at Raphael: "What have you talked about with Pabrido these two days? Have you talked about the game?"

Raphael could hear a hint of worry in her tone, and couldn't help saying, "He's not that stingy."

Veronica couldn't help saying: "I didn't say you will win, football is round!"

Rafael shrugged: "Yes, I admit that there is a chance, but you will still watch me lift the trophy."

Veronica didn't know whether to say that he was confident or conceited, but just reminded him: "It's fine if you lose. If Pabrido loses, this is the second time he lost to you in the Champions League final." .Even if he loves you again, he will definitely not want to see you for a few days, so you have to be more conscious!"

After she finished speaking, she saw Raphael's expression was a little unhappy.

This made her raise her eyebrows, and her younger brother said depressedly: "This season is too long, we still have half a month to play in the league after the game, even if I want to run in front of him, I don't have that chance. "

Veronica: "..."

Shouldn't you be thankful for this?This also calmed down his mood when he was on vacation.

After Inter Milan played the Milan derby, Lazio is the only decent opponent left in the rest of the league.

Because of the schedule, the game against Lazio was after the Champions League final, so on the second day of the Milan derby, the Inter Milan team entered the state of preparing for the Champions League.

The Champions League final is just around the corner, but the old Robson found that except for Rafael, the other main players were not very excited, which made the old man a little strange

Is the team no longer eager for the championship now?

This made the old man call for Juan. After all, he is the most popular, the most careful, and the most well-informed kid in the team.

After he asked Juan, Juan thought for a while and said: "I think it may not be what you guessed. Of course everyone is very happy to be able to enter the final again. As for your lack of excitement, I think it is because the opponent is Wa Rencia relationship."

What's wrong with Valen?

The old Robson was still at a loss and said: "Although Valencia has fewer mendieta, Kiley and Claudio than last season, this is also a team that reached the final all the way..."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Juan reminded: "Although this is the case, they are still Valencia, just like our opponent, even if it is Real Madrid, it is only Real Madrid. Everyone is familiar with them, and they are So familiar."

Juan mentioned a few more names and said: "Rafa, Figo, Vieri, Redondo, Simeone, Panucci, and even you, are all from La Liga, aren't they?"

Old Robson finally understood.

It's not that his kids are no longer eager for the championship, it's just that the opponent is too familiar, too familiar to be full of chicken blood before the game is about two weeks away.

In this case, the old Robson is no longer entangled.

He even adjusted his strategy, and in the following training, he no longer emphasized the opponent too much, but emphasized himself.

Robson Sr. firmly believes that as long as his children play properly, they will lift the Big Ears Cup again.

And after that, he can also think about his own affairs...

This made the old Robson couldn't help looking at the training ground, and at a glance he saw Rafael who was dribbling the ball around the pole and doing the most basic training.

This made his eyes soften, Rafa...

This is his favorite child.

After the day's training ended, Rafael rarely practiced, but went to pick up Louis.

On the way home, he gave Louis a ball and asked him, "Louis, can you take the ball all the way home?"

It was too easy for Luis!

But Raphael told him: "I will grab the ball, when you are not focused enough."

It was a good threat, and Louis protested twice, and saw him try to steal the ball, which made Louis immediately rush forward with the ball.

Raphael smiled while holding his small schoolbag, and then followed slowly.

He thought that they should consider Louis' future.

When he got home, Louis's little face had turned red. He gulped down a few sips of sparkling water before glaring at his uncle with big eyes, "Rafa is the worst! He always likes to bully Louis!"

Raphael pointed to himself and said, "Want to win me? Just work harder."

He then picked up the ball that had been running all the way, passed it to his feet and said: "Now I want to grab your ball head-on, think about what you are going to do."

Louis looked at him, then at the ball, called Bart, dropped the water bottle and rushed up.

Bart took a leap and grabbed the water bottle.

But when it saw that the big and small masters were not alone with it, but playing with the ball, it drooped its ears depressingly.

Bart absolutely hates that ball!

Because Louis had already run all the way, Raphael didn't let Louis play for too long, so he took him to the swimming pool for a while.

But Louis was obviously tired, and soon collapsed on the inflatable raft. After resting for a while, he asked the uncle who always liked to bully him, "Rafa! Do you like to bully Louis very much?"

Raphael glanced at him: "If this is bullying, am I bullying my opponent every time I play?"

What he didn't expect was that Louis nodded and said, "That's right! You're always bullying them! You're bullying Papa too! Dad said that if Papa loses the game, he might secretly hide and cry."

Raphael: "..."

It's okay for Veronica to think so, how fragile does this idiot Javier think of Aimar?

He wasn't worried about Aimar crying at all, he was worried about something else.

However, the children's three views still need to be corrected. Rafael asked him: "What about you? When you played football with the kindergarten children, and the children in the town, were you bullying them?"

What he didn't expect was that Louis actually nodded his head vigorously, with a bright smirk on his face: "Louis really likes to bully them!"

Raphael: "..."

Forget it, this may also be a way to enjoy football.

So he told him when the kid had had enough fun in the water: "If you don't want me to bully you, you have to find a way to protect your ball."

Louis nodded his head vigorously, and then clamored to bully Bart!

But it's not easy to bully Bart. Seeing that he and Bart were playing equally well, Raphael simply went to get the home camera and took pictures of him and Bart playing.

He was halfway through when he got a call from Simeone.

"what happened?"

"Big event! Colombia insists on holding the America's Cup! qtmd! They are full of guerrillas now, do they want us to die?"

Raphael frowned at Simeone's angry voice.

In the history of the America's Cup, there have been many wonderful games. In his impression, the 2001 America's Cup is such a wonderful one.

This is a hastily held cup competition. Two months after the start of the competition, South American Football Confederation suddenly made a decision. The reason for this Copa America is more political considerations, and it can also be said to be money. strength.

Because the domestic situation in Colombia, as the host country, is quite tense, and many guerrillas in the country frequently create various terrorist attacks. Playing games in this kind of place, isn't it letting the players die?

In fact, Rafael remembered that on the eve of the event, guerrillas kidnapped the vice chairman of the Colombian Football Association.

Raphael asked: "Has it been decided that Colombia will hold it now?"

Simeone said angrily: "That's right! Grondona called me and said we won't participate! You must show your attitude! Whoever tm likes to go, we won't go anyway!"

Raphael said clearly: "I see."

"and also!"

"Ok?"

"I heard that Veronica is still in Milan? We want to invite her to an Argentine party!"

"……roll!"

Even if Raphael knew that his teammates either had wives or girlfriends, he wouldn't let his sister attend this kind of party!

Simeone won't swallow his anger. The little ball bully can piss him off, so of course he can complain back. After he got angry, he hung up the phone.

In just a few minutes, Rafael received a call from Aimar.

Aimar's intention for coming was very clear, he wanted Rafael to keep a low profile!They have only one life, don't mess with those lunatics with nonsense!Especially since they plan to return to Argentina in the summer!

Raphael was talked about by him for more than half an hour, and he made a number of guarantees to reassure Aimar.

But Raphael doesn't hate such nagging at all, this is love!

Curly's love for him!

As Simeone reminded, when Rafael came to the Pinettina training base the next day, he saw many reporters guarding outside the base.

Because he knew their purpose, Raphael took the initiative to send them to the door.

Listening to the questions raised by the media, he said directly: "If you want to ask questions about the America's Cup, if it is from the perspective of a member of the Argentine national team, we should have obeyed the arrangements of the national team, such as recruitment, Must participate. But if it is from a personal point of view, I hope that the Football Association can give more consideration to the players' ideas. I personally do not want to go to Colombia, and I think my teammates have the same point of view."

After Raphael finished speaking, he calmly escaped with the cooperation of the security personnel, and the media who were left behind looked regretful.

They thought that Rafael would talk more, like how Maradona slammed the CONMEBOL's mind, or directly slandered Colombia's domestic situation, but they didn't expect Rafael to learn to stop!

The old Robson also got the news last night. The old man couldn't even imagine that the Argentine players in his team played in such a dangerous place in Colombia!

So he communicated with Moratti at that time.

Of course Moratti couldn't imagine what Raphael and the others would play in Colombia!In case of a little accident, it may affect the careers of these players.

After ventilating on both sides, they decided to put pressure on the Argentine Football Association!

If they dare to recruit players from Inter Milan, they will file a huge claim with the Argentine Football Association if there is a problem!

But the attitude of the players is also what they are worried about. After all, it is the Argentines...

So the old Robson and Moratti came to Pinettina early today. After Raphael, Simeone and Redondo were interviewed, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously the players are also sensible!

So Moratti called those Argentine players at this moment and said to them: "Bobby and I have already decided on the Copa America. We will not allow you to participate in this Copa America. If you really want to play, we would rather Play a few friendlies against Argentina!"

After Moratti finished speaking, he looked at Raphael, and saw that Raphael had no expression.

This is no dissatisfaction!

This allowed Moratti to finally breathe a sigh of relief!

After the training, Figo and Toldo called Rafael.

Their purpose is also very pure, which is to remind Rafael that even if the Argentine Football Federation agrees to participate, they must never agree to be recruited.

As far as Figo goes, Toldo's words are much more simple. He said to Rafael earnestly: "Even if you love Argentina, you can wait until next year's World Cup to give everything for your country, not in this kind of competition. , bet your life and career!"

He was worried that Raphael's character would not agree, but what happened?

Raphael just gave him a blank stare, and then said: "We won't go, don't worry. And as the captain of the national team, I will not allow the Football Association to participate in this tournament before the players agree."

Toldo: "..."

Figo: "..."

They were so worried, seeing how domineering this kid is, he can actually say something like "I don't allow the Football Association"!

It's really... enviable...

Raphael didn't just talk about it in front of his teammates. Although Grondona refuses to participate now, if he doesn't keep it all, he will fall under the power of money.

So after confirming their positions with Barty, Veron and Riquelme and other Argentine internationals, Rafael called Grondona directly.

All Argentina internationals will not be participating in this Copa America.

This is official notification.

If the national team continues to recruit players to participate in this cup, the players will directly refuse to recruit!

Grondona was furious by this notice, who said he was going to participate!

Didn't I immediately say no?

But when the national team was united, he could only pinch his nose and confess, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only endure it, and continued to emphasize to Rafael that they would not participate.

After Raphael hung up the phone, Grondona scolded Raphael again in his heart, oh, and he had to bring that Maradona who dared to point his nose and scold him!

But after scolding these two guys, Grondona could only order the secretary to make arrangements. He was going to have a press conference in the afternoon!

When the Argentine Football Association's second development conference announced that it would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not participate in this Copa America, public opinion was in an uproar.

Because everyone is thinking, without Argentina, it means losing half of the South American superstars. Can this Copa America still be held?

But the South American Football Association also held a press conference on the same day!

Argentina not participating?We will still try to get them to change their minds, but it doesn't matter if Argentina really doesn't participate, we will continue to do it, but instead invite other teams, such as Australia or Japan...

It is hard to say whether this Copa America can be held, but the Argentines are determined not to participate.

This made Rafael's Brazilian friends very envious, and Ronaldo even called him to complain about the Brazilian Football Association.

Rafael felt that this guy complained about his mortal enemy's operation of the Football Association, but this was the first call Ronaldo made to him after he transferred to Real Madrid, of course he had to listen.

However, Ronaldo suddenly changed the subject and said gossipingly: "I congratulate you for entering the final, and I think you can win the championship, but I want to know, will you be dumped after you win?"

Raphael: "..."

He wants to shark bobo!

Because it's this Italian who's in charge in the locker room!

The farce in South American football can hardly affect Europe. Now that the Argentine Football Association has given reassurance, Inter Milan also prepares for the next game with peace of mind.

In fact, "preparation" is definitely an exaggeration.

Because what old Robson is really preparing for these days is the Champions League final against Valencia.

As for the league match with Parma?

With a big wave of his hand, the old Robson dispatched a full substitute lineup amidst the scolding of AC Milan fans, Roma fans and Atlanta fans.

Parma is now at a critical moment for the fourth. Although their fans guessed before the game that the old Robson might stay for next week's Champions League final.But when the old Robson really put on a posture of "we're going to be a gift boy", they started to cheer.

Not only cheering, they are still busy fighting with Atlanta fans!

It's okay for people from AC Milan and Roma to scold Inter Milan, but you scold me!Why didn't you scold me when you took advantage?

The old Robson didn't care about these right and wrong. How could the gain or loss of a game be more important than the final?

In the end, Inter Milan lost to Parma 1-2 away.

It is worth mentioning that Ibrahimovic helped the team score the only goal.

After the game, the old Robson took the players back to Milan without stopping.

On the return bus, Rafael also received a text message from Aimar

We are in Milan.

Before he could reply, he found a new one:

Until the end of the game, we will not be in touch again for a while.

Raphael was not surprised by this at all, he sent him a text message with the corner of his mouth curled up:

again?Be careful to repeat the same mistakes.

Yes, he was just a friendly reminder to the superstitious little curly.

But Aimar obviously didn't like these bad words, and sent several text messages to settle accounts with him, but he never said the words "don't contact me again".

Raphael chatted with him for a while, and saw him saying that he had arrived at the hotel and was going to take a shower later.

This made Rafael put away the phone, and saw Juan beside him still pressing the keyboard with his head down.

Thinking of Juan's possible start in this year's Champions League final, Rafael whispered: "Have you invited her to watch the game?"

Juan nodded happily, of course he did, and he invited his own family.

Raphael smiled and said, "I want to invite them to dinner."

During his years in Lacco, he was taken care of by Juan's family, and he also had dinner with Juan's family, so it is also due to return the invitation now.

Juan was a little surprised, then nodded and said, "I'll ask, but I know they will agree."

Raphael smiled and rubbed his hair.

The author has something to say: Tomorrow I will be able to write about the final game...
