ball magic

Before coming to participate in this competition, Raphael never thought of stealing the limelight from the old horse.

But with one sentence, Cantona successfully lowered his expectations for this game to the level of a wild field.

His coach Basile apparently had the same idea as Cantona, muttering to him: "As long as you don't lose too badly."

Raphael: "..."

Forget it, don't say anything.

But the fans still gave Rafael some comfort

When they entered the warm-up, he was always booed before, and he was able to omit the "conquer" step and win cheers in this stadium that has special meaning to him.

But these cheers disappeared instantly after Maradona played, and all the Argentine fans were cheering for the king at the moment.

When Maradona was still playing for Naples, someone said that just watching Maradona's warm-up can be worth the ticket price.

But now, it is Maradona's last warm-up.

Raphael was somewhat sad.

But at this moment, he found that Keely ran up to him on purpose, twisted his waist, legs, and buttocks, and gave him a mocking middle finger by the way.

But when Keely turned his head again, he found that there was Raphael in front of him?

This guy has gone away!

Kiley couldn't help but spread his hands at Simeone in disappointment.

Simeone laughed.

He felt that Keeley should be thankful that today was Maradona's farewell game, that kid didn't want to steal the limelight, otherwise he would definitely give him a modified shoulder throw.

After the warm-up, Raphael's supporting role journey has just begun.

And when Marado, the protagonist, entered the field, he was greeted with applause from the fans, white cards flying and circling down, and fans calling reluctantly.

Lao Ma was originally a man of temperament, but now he was moved to tears, and he kept applauding the fans to express his gratitude.

Then there was the pre-match ceremony. The famous Argentine rock band "Magic Mouse" sang a song named Diego, I hope you will stay in the game forever for the old horse, which was obviously the voice of the fans in the audience.

When the singing ended, the home commentary introduced the starting players of both sides, allowing the stars to enjoy the cheers of the fans.

At this time, Lao Ma also went to the world star team.

He is the captain of the Argentine star team, while the captain of the world star team is Stoichkov.

But after the old horse gestured to the Bulgarian, he ran towards Raphael.

Seeing his open hands, Raphael was afraid that he would say "My little angel Raphael" again on such an occasion, so he could only give this guy a hug.

Amar snickered when he saw this scene.

When this game is over, someone will definitely complain to him.

After hugging Rafael, Lao Ma told him mysteriously: "Rafa, wait for me after the game, I have prepared a gift for you!"

What good gift can Maradona give?

Although Raphael felt that this gift was definitely not what he wanted, but at this time, he would not lose face to the old horse, so he had to nod.

After that, the old horse and Stoichkov exchanged team flags, and then won the guessing side, and the game began.

Let's also introduce the cards of the World Star Alliance.

In fact, we only talk about the lineup, which is really worthy of the title of the world star company.

The goalkeeper is Colombian goalkeeper Oscar Cordoba, and the defense is Italian defender Ferrara, Colombian defenders Bermudez and Ivan Cordoba and Paraguay defender Gamarra.

In the midfield are Peruvian midfielders Solano, Rafael, and the "Golden Lion King" Valderrama who competed with him, plus Uruguayan Prince Franciscoli.

The frontcourt is Croatian captain Suker and Bulgarian legend Stoichkov.

This is a simple 442 formation, but Basile has already worried about it.

Before the start of the game, Basile grabbed Rafael and emphasized it. In summary, there are two points

This is just a friendly match, to put it more bluntly, it is an exhibition match.

So don't get hurt, or Toshack will definitely be angry and not worth it.

Don't give too much margin when passing the ball, but give it just right, or even less.

Because the awareness of some players is still there, but the body is not as good as before, so don't be too active. After all, the "Golden Retriever Lion" and "Prince of Uruguay" both like to show off.

This made Raphael feel tired again.

Without waiting until the end of the game, he felt that Simeone and Kiley could come and mock him as the all-round nanny at halftime.

In order to make it easier to be a babysitter, Raphael chatted with Valderrama before the game officially started, and divided the possession of the ball.

When the game had just started and the retired veterans on both sides hadn't started running, the Argentine star team launched a surprise attack.

Almeida suddenly shot 45 meters in front of the goal, and the ball almost flew into the stands against the crossbar, which attracted applause from the audience.

At this moment, Rafael was looking at their goalkeeper Cordoba in shock.

Because the active goalkeeper of Boca Juniors and Colombia's national goalkeeper, he didn't make a save at all!

This made Rafael confused.

Although I know that you belong to Boca and that this is a friendly match, there is no need to make such a fuss, right?

You are the biggest traitor on our side!

Hughes and Byron, who were watching the game at the moment, first laughed, and after replaying Raphael's shocked expression, they even burst into laughter.

Byron even said: "This emoji, must, will definitely be made into an emoji package!"

Because it is too funny!

Hughes stopped laughing a little before saying: "Rafa must regret participating in this game."

If it is said that Inter Milan is picturesque in the frontcourt, but in the backcourt they hold their papa.

Now the world star team where Rafael is in is a picturesque frontcourt, let's let the backcourt be watered.

Raphael has not yet accepted the "scale" of the friendly match, but the match is still going on, and this time it is the old horse who rushed forward.

Before he could react, Rafael's body rushed forward with a swish, gave the old horse a clean shovel with a swish, and completed the pass transfer with a swish.

Byron: "..."

Although Raphael's foot was very clean, he still felt sorry for Maradona who fell to the ground!

You must know that this fat man who played football almost went to heaven because of a heart attack.

Now for this farewell match, I temporarily lost 20 kilograms of weight, but I can't stand Rafa playing like this!

After completing this series of show operations, Raphael seemed to realize this.

This made his expression look a bit dazed, as if he was thinking about whether to get the old horse up.

Fortunately, the old horse got up extremely quickly, and then heard "Diego" without looking at Raphael.

The old horse glanced back, then switched to the duangduangduang mode in an instant, and continued to rush towards the penalty area.

As for the reason, of course it was because the defense of the Argentine star team was not so watery. Ayala successfully broke the ball at Suk's feet. Now is the opportunity for the Argentine team!

Just as Byron was about to ask Hughes, "Will your son release the water this time?" Raphael pressed the button to switch, and instantly entered a defensive state.

But this time he was not defending the opponent's ace Maradona, but Aimar.

Yes, he threw Maradona to the other old comrades of the star team. In fact, there was no such thing as defense at all. He ran to defend Aimar himself.

After seeing this scene, Byron couldn't help laughing and said: "Your son has finally found the fun of this game, but I think Pablo's joy is gone."

Hughes laughed too.

Apparently Raphael realized that he was not suitable for defending a retired star like Maradona. He had to give face to the protagonist, and he couldn't openly enter the walking mode on the field, so he found a favorite target.

Just as Byron guessed, after seeing the figure of this big lion, Aimar felt bad!

You ran to the opposite side and put on the No. 10 jersey. Is it just to defend me?

After this attack was over, he glared at Raphael.

Rafael said innocently: "You have to ask me to do something, I just want to chat with you now, otherwise I want to discuss with Basile if I can play goalkeeper, I think I am better than a goalkeeper." Cordoba came strong."

This complaint was really too funny, Aimar endured it again and again, and still couldn't help laughing.

But he didn't sympathize with Raphael either, and laughed at him after laughing: "You deserve it! Who told you to run to the opposite side."

This is what he asked for.

Rafael found the fun of racing, um, the fun of paddling that he had never experienced before.

But there is a goalkeeper who opens the water, and the defense hardly cooperates. It is only a matter of time before the World Star United loses the ball.

But scoring is not the goal of the Argentine star team, their goal is to let Maradona score.

It's a pity that this goal is not easy to achieve, because the old horse's current body makes it difficult for him to rush all the way to the opponent's penalty area and then create a murderous intention, so the old horse's strategy is also obvious

I still kick the ball standing up.

Even if I can't score, assists are always possible, right?

Facts have proved that Lao Ma's passing is still coquettish. In the case of the World Star United being completely defenseless, they have scored 3 goals in a row in the first half, and Lao Ma also got an assist.

After "Bug" Lopez scored that goal, the whole Candy Box Stadium chanted the name of Maradona.

This is the moment fans have been waiting for.

This made Lao Ma feel a little bit uncontrollable. At the end of the first half, he did not forget to thank the fans.

At the end of the first half, Su Ke, who scored a goal for the World Star Team and saved a little face, talked to Rafael, who was paddling for most of the time.

The Croatian said it very euphemistically, but in essence he accused Rafael of only caring about love and not contributing to the team.

He probably also knew what Raphael was worried about, so he said to this super rookie who hadn't played many friendly matches: "For friendly matches, it's not shameful to concede a goal, but it's shameful not to score a goal. The goal can also be lost, but if you lose It’s too much to justify.”

Rafael understands, doesn't this mean that he doesn't need to defend, but he still has to score two goals?

Cantona waited for Suk to finish chatting with him, and said to him: "Although I don't know how to chase boys, if I were you, I would never keep chasing Aimar."

Raphael raised his eyebrows, because the Frenchman was communicating with him in French!

The Frenchie also wanted to guide him in love.

Considering that he is a Frenchman after all, and a Frenchman with a literary and artistic style, it is okay to listen to it?

Cantona also imitated his action and raised his eyebrows and said: "I may give him an own goal. I remember when you had an own goal last time, Aimar smiled happily."

Raphael: "..."

This Frenchman looks tall and cool, but who knows that he is also a cut black!

Because the Frenchman was mocking him for scoring an own goal in this year's Champions League final, and it was Aimar's "assisted" own goal!

Basile may not be able to stand their blatantly rebellious goalkeeper. At midfield, he took the lead in replacing goalkeeper Corbado and replaced another Colombian goalkeeper Higuita.

This is a substitution that Raphael doesn't know how to evaluate!

Fans who may know a little about football have heard of Iguita's name.

In terms of popularity, Iguita is definitely a legendary goalkeeper, and even a famous "crazy" goalkeeper.

Its signature saving action "scorpion wagging its tail" is even more unique in football.

But the picture of Iguita using this action to catch the ball is classic, but he also missed the ball because he wanted to show off...

There was Cordoba first, and then Iguita. Rafael felt that if this was an official game, he would definitely apply for goalkeeping.

Fortunately, in addition to replacing Iguita, Basile also changed a bunch of people.

In addition to Cantona, there are "Chinese boys" Recoba, Mateus, Careca, Carini...

Raphael was quite touched when he saw his old friend Mateus on the field. After all, Mateus is a German. He can always be relied on, right?

He said this to Cantona in French, only to see Cantona give him an inscrutable smile.

Raphael understood.

If Matthaus doesn't make an own goal and assist Maradona, he should celebrate with champagne.

At the beginning of the second half, Rafael found that the little curly hair suddenly started, switched positions with the old horse, and then ran to the right.

Then he received a pass from Keeley and started the chug mode.

What about Raphael?

The moment Aimar and the old horse switched positions, he wanted to abandon the old horse and go straight to the curls. After all, defending the curls was the only happiness he could get in this game.

But before he could fully start, he was felled by the old horse behind him.

This is a proper red card move to shovel someone from behind!

But the referee ignored him, and directly signaled that the offensive side was in favor, and went straight to the penalty area, and within two seconds the whistle for a goal was blown.

At this moment, the old horse's chubby hand was also handed to Raphael, and the smile on his face was also so bright.

Raphael: "..."

wipe!

The Argentine star team once again led by 3 goals, and with the old horse's shovel, Rafael didn't want to paddle anymore.

He began to concentrate on sorting out the offense and also wanted to send a pass to Cantona.

His luck was not bad. When he delivered shells for Cantona for the first time, Pochettino, who had just been replaced by the Argentine star team, made a mistake. Cantona seized the opportunity and directly pushed the goal from a small angle.

This also brought the score back to 4-2.

But as soon as the front foot equalized, Rafael discovered that they also gave gift bags in the backcourt.

Matthaus!

This German guy who played a huge role in last year's European Cup actually let Maradona in!

Are you not his lifelong enemy?

But at this moment, waiting for Maradona is the cheers of the fans.

The moment the old horse shot, Higuita made his signature scorpion wagging his tail, but successfully missed the goal, which also allowed the old horse to fulfill his wish at this moment.

Raphael shook his head first, and then started applauding with the fans.

He can see that Maradona can't run anymore, so the timing of Mateus' release is just right.

When there were 20 minutes left in the game, the old horse took off the jersey of the Argentine national team and put on the No. 10 jersey of Boca Juniors.

Even though the greatest glory in the club was in Apennines and Naples, at the last moment of his career, Maradona still put on the No. 10 jersey of his favorite club.

Because the old horse could hardly run anymore, the two sides also played big health care, and the final score was fixed at 6-3.

Raphael scored the final goal for the Stars.

When the game ended, Lao Ma wore the Boca jersey and delivered his final speech amidst the applause of more than 5 fans.

With tears in his eyes, Maradona choked up and said: "I was lost and paid for it, but football will not be tarnished."

At the moment when his career was about to end, Maradona admitted his mistakes. He wanted fans to see his football and evaluate his football objectively.
