ball magic

It's a good time to play, and you're done with the crematorium?

It can't.

Raphael confidently believed that such a tragedy could not happen to him.

After all, in addition to teasing his wife, he also mastered the key skills of coaxing and listening to his wife.

So when the results of the lottery were announced and the fans were discussing which four teams could advance to the semi-finals, Raphael's fans were surprised to find that their male god was as quiet as a chicken!

How can this be?

Some fans think this may be because the opponent is Panathinaikos.

However, this view has not been widely accepted.

Because when Laco and Manchester United met last time, a certain villain BOSS still expressed more than [-] million points of opinion.

Rafael chose to shut up, but he was looking forward to the rematch with Real Madrid from the bottom of his heart.

This is not to say that Bayern is unattractive to him, but because this year's Real Madrid gave him a novelty——

This is a Real Madrid with Ronaldo and Zidane.

In addition, the scene of Redondo replaying the Bernabeu is very interesting no matter how you think about it, and it is indeed more attractive to him than Bayern.

If you want to play against Real Madrid, you must first advance to the semi-finals.

Although Raphael is full of confidence, before the arrival of the Champions League match day, the first thing waiting for him is Sunday's league match and his long-awaited national team match day.

The reason why the word "long-awaited" is used to describe it is to praise the chairman of the Argentine Football Association Grondona.

If Rafael was asked to comment on the Argentine Football Association president before, Rafael would directly give him the nickname "Money Basket".

Because he felt that this guy only had money in his eyes!

But as the World Cup approached, Grondona made three showy operations, which gave Rafael a new understanding of him in addition to his ability to make money.

What did Grondona do?

First of all, he found the right opponent for the warm-up match.

When England was drawn, all the Argentine internationals were reveling and shouting for revenge, but Grondona's mind was obviously very calm.

If Sweden, England and Nigeria are really easy to play, Group F will not become a group of death.

According to the style of these three national teams, Grondona found Wales, Cameroon and Germany to warm up respectively.

When Rafael knew about these three opponents, he couldn't help but admire Grondona's pragmatism, because his choices were so targeted!

Wales can almost be regarded as the second team of England, and it is very suitable to find them to warm up.

Nigeria is nicknamed the "African Eagle" while Cameroon is the "African Lion".

The mysterious connection between the two African brothers can be known from their nicknames.

As for why Germany was invited, it was aimed at Switzerland.

Although Owen has just broken England's embarrassing record of winning against Germany for more than 30 years, the embarrassing record of winning against Rui is still there.

Germany and Sweden are both the sufferers of the English. There are still many similarities in the styles of the two national teams.

In addition to finding the right opponent for the warm-up match, "Money Basket" is willing to spend money!

In order to minimize the fatigue of the thighs of the national team in Europe, so that the players will not be injured, after selecting these three warm-up opponents, Grondona made a decision that went against himself——

All three warm-up matches will be played in Europe!

The matches between Wales and Germany are played at the home courts of these two national teams.

As for Cameroon, which came from afar, the Argentine Football Association will of course have to bleed. After careful selection, Grondona still rented the home stadium of a Swiss club, which can only accommodate less than [-] fans.

But Raphael is already very content. After all, playing in Europe is better than taking a red-eye flight to and from South America, right?

As for the last thing Grondona did right, during this year's Club World Cup, he hooked up with the chairman of the Japanese Football Association and arranged a warm-up match with the host.

How sensible is this arrangement?

Let's put it this way, when the warm-up match was finalized, countless England fans angered the chairman and management of the FA, and some fans even shouted——

"Even the dumbest groundhog can do a better job than you!"

There are two reasons why England fans are so angry.

First of all, all the matches in Group F will be held in Japan.

Secondly, Raphael's popularity in Japan is too TM against the sky!

Combining these two points together, as long as fans who have some knowledge of the 1990 World Cup can get the sinister intentions of Grondona!

In that Italian summer, hosts Italy and Argentina met in the semi-finals in Sao Paulo, home of the Naples club.

Who wouldn't want their country to make it to the final?

However, Naples fans, between their own country and Maradona, decisively chose to backstab their motherland.

During the game, a large number of Naples fans were cheering for Maradona, interpreting what is called "Maradona is Naples".

And as long as fans who have watched the Club World Cup in the past few seasons will know how crazy Asian fans are to Raphael.

Now the Argentine has another warm-up match with the Japanese, obviously wanting to use the opportunity of this match to win people's hearts!

After the interpretation by the British media, the English fans who reacted first angered the Argentines for their sinister intentions, and then despised their own FA management as stupid as pigs... ③эㄚQχδ.CΟM

Grondona used a series of operations to prove that he, the president of the Argentine Football Association and the vice president of FIFA, was not in vain.

This also changed Raphael's evaluation of him from "a money basket that only makes money" to "a money basket that can do some facts."

On Saturday, March 3th, Inter Milan ushered in the 24th round of the league at home, and their opponent was Roma.

At present, Roma has replaced AC Milan and ranks second in the standings.

For Toshack, this is a must-win game.

Winning Rome means that he has won the Serie A trophy. How could he not pay attention to such a game?

So even considering that after this game is over, it will be the heinous national team match day, he still has a full lineup.

Before the game started, Toshack was keenly aware that Rafael was very excited today.

When the game started, he found that Raphael was more than excited?

That is simply entering a state of rage!

Not only wearing a hat, but also sending out two assists, helping the team beat Rome 5-2 at home!

While this made Toshack feel happy, he was also curious about how his disciple's overwhelming desire to score goals came from.

Facing his question, Redondo thought for a while and said: "The national team match day is coming."

Toshack: "..."

Just because you want to meet Aimar?

It seems that even this traitor is not exempt...

Redondo could tell from his expression that he was thinking wrong, and had no choice but to explain: "The opponent is Cameroon. He admires Roger Mira."

Toshack: "...oh."

This can't blame him for wanting to be crooked.

The famous work of this Uncle Mira in the World Cup was in the opening game of the 1990 World Cup. At the age of 38, he led 9 people to fight Cameroon and defeated 1-0 with many players including Maradona and Caniggia. The stars of Argentina.

Argentina was still the defending champion!

Which "serious" Argentine would like this Uncle Mira?

However, his traitor is such a wonderful thing.

If Raphael knew about this conversation, he would definitely lash out at that middle-aged man who interpreted it indiscriminately.

It is true that he appreciates Uncle Mira, but he is looking forward to this game so much, to put it bluntly, he is still looking forward to the World Cup.

After all, he is still a rookie playing in the World Cup for the first time.

However, Rafael, who knew nothing about it, packed his bags as quickly as possible after the game. With Juan's blessing, he brought his teammates from the national team to the airport and took a private plane to Switzerland.

Three hours later, they arrived at the hotel in Geneva.

When they got out of the car and saw the hotel, Raphael raised his eyebrows, because it was actually a five-star hotel.

Five star!

Simeone was by his side, and after seeing his iconic move, he smiled at the young man: "Julio knows what is most important."

But it was Raphael who raised his eyebrows again in response to his senior.

Is this the proper attitude towards seniors?

But after Simeone gave him a blank stare, he unconsciously hooked his shoulders and walked into the hotel intimately with him.

Rafael was not used to such heavy love from his seniors, and after getting the room card assigned by the staff, he took the initiative to distance himself from Simeone.

Of course Simeone got there, he could only shake his head and complained to Redondo.

And it's the kind that complains super loudly.

But after Rafael walked into the elevator, he just bowed his head and tapped the keyboard of his mobile phone. He also knew that he was sending a text message to Aimar who was still in Valencia. How could he care about him?

This made Simeone curl his lips uncontrollably, brat
