ball magic

When there was a faint sound of playfulness in the corridor, Bielsa knew that Inter Milan had helped.

And when he realized this, he couldn't help frowning.

It's not that he thinks the players have no rules, he is so strict with the players.It was their arrival that reminded him of the war between him and Grondona.

Yes, when Rafael gave Grondona the highest rating ever, Bielsa had conflicts with Grondona instead.

The root cause lies in the World Cup squad.

As a strong chairman of the Football Association, Grondona has a small opinion of the World Cup squad.

Of course, as a smart person, the chairman will not let such news spread, and this is also a little secret between him and Bielsa.

As the coach of Argentina, Bielsa knows that he is not the first coach to be troubled like this, nor will he be the last.

The battle was invisible, but it was there, between him and Grondona like the Andes.

The focus of this war is Caniggia, Batty and Crespo, as well as Saviola, who is not yet ranked.

Also in Ortega, Veron and Riquelme.

Even regarding the selection of the goalkeeper, he has to be influenced by those invisible hands...

Yes, the preliminary World Cup roster will be announced in a month. He, the Argentine coach, is still fighting with the chairman for the roster!

Ridiculous or not?

Yet this is reality.

On the front line, Bielsa undoubtedly trusts the younger Crespo more, followed by Batty and "Bug" Lopez.

After them, you can consider whether to bring the young Saviola instead of the 35-year-old Caniggia.

In the midfield, he also held a two-hour press conference to tell domestic fans why he couldn't recruit Riquelme and why he gave up Ortega, but the huge pressure still swept through.

When his assistant coach Vivas greeted Saviola and others and pushed the door in, he saw Bielsa with this expression.

With just one glance, the assistant coach who has been with him since the 90s guessed his mind.

Thinking of Rafael he just saw, Vivas said to him: "Marcelo, if you are really troubled, why don't you discuss it with Rafael?"

Rafa?

Bielsa was stunned for a moment, and after understanding his purpose, he said decisively: "No!"

"Why not?" Vivas' face was full of disbelief.

In Menotti's era, Passarella was the one who had the final say, because if he said a word, Menotti would not be able to bring Maradona.

In the era of Bilardo, Maradona was the boss, and a legendary captain like Passarella could only find an excuse for stomach problems to cover up the embarrassment of missing the World Cup.

Why can't Rafael be pushed up in Bielsa's era?

Vivas persuaded: "If it is Rafa's decision, everyone will be convinced, including Grondona."

History has proved that even Grondona will back down in front of the World Cup!

But at this moment, Bielsa has regained his calm.

He rationally said to the assistant coach: "It's because of this that I can't tell him this. I am the coach of the team, and I don't need to let the players bear these."

Having said that, he added: "I can't make him take on this, I mean - in case we don't win the cup."

It was such a sentence that made Vivas shut up.

If we didn't hold the cup...

Then who will take the blame?

He knows very well—

It used to be Bilardo, Basile, Passarella, and now it will only be Bielsa.

It was Maradona, it could be Rafael now, and that kid has already been a traitor once...

But never, never Grondona.

Seeing the assistant coach's expression was a bit complicated, Bielsa said: "I will take the opportunity of this game day to talk to Simeone, Redondo and Batty, and I will tell them my opinion."

Vivas nodded silently.

At this time, all he can do is express his support.

After the domestic Argentine international and Italian Inter Milan arrived at the hotel first, Batty also came to the hotel soon.

After putting down his luggage, he greeted his roommate Simeone, and knocked on Raphael's door with a bag of things.

The moment the door opened, Batty couldn't help whistling.

It seems that the timing of his knocking on the door was not very clever. What appeared in front of him was a handsome boy who had just taken a shower with only a towel around his waist!

This rogue whistle made Raphael look at him speechlessly.

He knew from the time the guy was hiding his debut jersey for the national team that he wasn't the same guy.

Batty didn't care about his little eyes that rejected people thousands of miles away, but handed him the things in his hand with disgust: "Here, the love from your father. Your dear Papi asked me to hand it to you personally inside."

Raphael doesn't care about the ridicule of this middle-aged man.

After he took it, the touch of his hand made him realize that this might be Byron's latest manuscript.

It is estimated that his adoptive father forcibly threw it to Hughes, and Hughes reluctantly asked Batty to hand it over.

For Byron's works, Raphael has always been very supportive, and this time is no exception.

He accepted the book, and looked at the middle-aged man who was still standing there suspiciously——

Why hasn't this guy left yet?

Batty certainly understood this look!

This made him speechless: "Boy, I brought you something, don't you invite me in and sit down? I think Diego (Simone) is right, you don't know how to respect at all." senior……"

Amidst his nagging, Raphael took two steps back expressionlessly, which was obviously a hint.

When Batty entered his room door, he slammed the door shut, and then didn't greet the senior again. He first put the book in his hand on the bedside table, and then walked to the closet, ready to put on his clothes.

Batty pulled a chair and sat down on his own. When he put on his underwear and bathrobe, turned around, he kindly reminded him: "Boy, you'd better pay attention next time, I'm serious." .”

Raphael raised his eyebrows puzzledly: "Pay attention?"

What did he do?

Batty said seriously: "Yes, you'd better pay attention. After all, I know that you are not interested in me, and you didn't change clothes in front of me on purpose-I mean, this is not a locker room, but in private. I Not misunderstood, but maybe someone else will."

Raphael: "..."

He got it.

Just because I understand, he's so fucking subtle now!

So subtle that he even got angry, and felt that he was so fucking stupid!

But his complicated and tangled expression made Batty laugh, that kind of laugh.

But Raphael's small eyes were so present, he stopped after laughing a few times, and rubbed his face.

When he put down his hand, he had already put on an expression of "I am innocent", and asked, "Before this, did no one ever remind you? You never thought about it?"

Only Raphael's cold eyes responded to him.

Well, this look also made Batty realize that this guy didn't want him to play the role of confidant brother at all, and he didn't want to listen to his lectures.

Since the kid didn't need it, he cut to the chase.

"I came to you, and besides handing over that thing, I also want to tell you one thing."

Raphael said, "I'm listening."

If he hadn't guessed that this guy was up to business, he would have kicked him out when he couldn't stop laughing.

Batty smiled before saying, "Moratti called me."

Raphael: "..."

After seeing Raphael's expression at the moment, Batty smiled again. He smiled carefreely for a while, and then looked at Raphael who was still sullen.

This cold little expression made Batty smile again, then looked into his eyes and said, "I'm seriously considering this matter.

It's not that Man Utd are bad, I'm happy to be on the verge of winning a second league title, but the truth is the weather isn't very kind to me, there's just too much rain, it hurts my legs, it hurts. it hurts...

Although I am in good condition, I know that such a day will not be too long. "

Raphael knew that this was Batty's sincere words.

He also knew that such pain was the price Batty paid for becoming the "God of War".

He knew better that Batty told him this was also a respect for him.

This made him get up, walked to the small bar in the room, took two bottles of beer, snapped off the bottle caps, and handed one of the bottles to Batty.

This made Batty laugh again. He really likes to laugh, so he touched the bottle with him with a smile, and then took two sips before saying, "Remember the first time we met?"

Raphael thought for a while, "In the small bar in Ezeiza?"

Batty smiled and said, "That's where you invited two riverbed caddies to eat skewers after extra practice, while Diego and I drank there. I still remember the way you looked at us, without any dignity, Just full of disgust."

Having said that, he looked at Raphael with smug and narrow eyes and said, "Now you are the same as us."

Raphael sneered at his pride, but he also raised his head and took two big gulps.

While he was drinking, Batty just looked at him quietly, and after he put down the bottle, he asked, "You have nothing to say?"

Of course Raphael knew what he meant, so he asked back, "Have you talked to Ferguson?"

He guessed not.

Sure enough, Batty shook his head obediently, "I haven't talked to that old man yet. In fact, I think if I tell him this, I will get spit all over my face. He will definitely look at me like a fool.

Well, I know it, and now I go to Inter Milan to make mistakes for myself. "

Vieri, Irving, Saviola, Ibrahimovic, plus a Rafael who can top the striker at any time and overwhelm them in the scorer list...

Batty knows that this kind of Inter Milan is a meat grinder for top forwards, and it is more likely to be the grave of his career.

But he is 33 years old and will soon be 34.

His friend Baggio also announced his retirement.

He has also reached the age to slow down.

However, in Raphael's blue eyes, he only saw coldness, without any warmth.

He said indifferently: "Yes, he will still think you are a coward, a coward just to escape the weather in England, a football player who does not want to suffer pain, he may even say-"

You don't deserve to be called Gabriel Batistuta!It was the name of a brave and fearless general. "

Hey!

Batty was shocked!

This is so fucking venomous, if Rafael spoke English instead of their mother tongue, with a little Scottish accent, he would have thought that Ferguson himself was present!

This made him complain a little: "I just want to tell you that I made such a decision, and I didn't come here to seek guilt, let alone to be sprayed!"

But the junior in front of him just responded with a sneer: "Before you complained to me, didn't you think that such consequences would happen? What do you think I will say? Say that I agree with your decision, agree with you as a Cowards, just because of injuries?"

Although he was so sneering, he didn't give Batty a chance to speak, so he said to Batty: "If you really don't like Manchester United and want to leave here, you can talk to Ferguson. If you are fed up with the weather If you experience pain, I recommend you to try traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy, which is said to have a miraculous effect on relieving the pain caused by the weather.”

Batty: "...Chinese medicine?"

Yes, he automatically ignores the former.

Because he can't say he doesn't like Manchester United.

When he arrived at Manchester United, Fiorentina fans pulled down his statue.

Such extreme hatred is, of course, due to extreme love.

So when he joined Manchester United, he simply wanted to get something from the Manchester United fans. He just wanted to play well, score more penalties and get a cup.

However, the fans of Manchester United gave him a lot, so much that he once again felt what it means to be "loved" and "spoiled". Even Ferguson gave him a lot.

So it was difficult for him to communicate with Ferguson, but he wanted to tell Raphael first.

Well, he didn't even talk to his family, he just told Raphael, because he admired this brat and believed in him.

He saw Raphael nodded and repeated: "It has a miraculous effect."

Because of his previous suggestion, Batty, who has undergone surgery and changed to a vegetarian diet, said without hesitation: "Okay, I will try!"

It's so easy compared to being vegetarian!

Raphael nodded, and picked up the bottle of wine in front of him in the next second.

Batty couldn't help saying: "This is mine."

Is this kid out of his mind?

What responded to him was Raphael's cold eyes and sarcasm: "You are so hurt that you are going to be a coward, and you still want to drink?"

Batty: "..."

屮!

A few seconds later, Batty consciously left the devil's room.

If he stayed any longer, he wouldn't have a pain in his ankle and knee, but a headache!

And when he left, Rafael poured out the remaining two bottles of wine and put the bottles where the waiter could easily find them. Then he picked up his cell phone and texted his wife frantically.

Well, of course he wouldn't say that he was out of his mind and changed clothes in front of Batty, but told his wife——

[I am too difficult QAQ! ]

[Moratti secretly pried Manchester United's corner to buy Batty!Inter Milan has no shortage of strikers now, what do you think he thinks! ]

[Barty's brain is also flooded, he is still tempted!The reason was just because the weather in Manchester made him feel so fucking hurt!Is this what he should have said! ]

[I didn't mean to swear in front of you, I apologize.But you have to forgive me, because your husband is going to be a sandwich biscuit! ]

[I miss you, why did you arrive tomorrow? ]

[Reply to me when you see it, use the fastest speed! ]

And when Aymar came out of the shower, he heard his roommate Ayala pointing to his mobile phone on the bedside table and saying: "Your mobile phone has been buzzing non-stop."

After saying that, Ayala went to the bathroom.

Aimar thanked him for his thoughtfulness, and when he picked up the phone, he realized that the buzzing did not mean an incoming call, but a text message.

When he finished reading one by one, he shook his head helplessly.

Where is it too hard for someone?

It is clearly carrying private goods!

Who are you husband, we are not married yet!

But he didn't know whether it was the sound of water in the bathroom that gave him a sense of security, or the courage brought about by being thousands of miles away from Baby Sandwich Biscuit, but he replied in a strange way:

[Gabe must think you're the best captain ever. ]

[PS: My husband also thinks you are great. ]

After sending these two text messages, Aimar's face was burning, but he felt innocently——

It's all someone's fault!

Who made him say that he envies Juan for getting married every day!

He also envied Juan...

And Raphael, who was lying on the bed and staring at the phone: "..."

Wife, what kind of stimulus is this?

So much so that I don't know who is...

But he didn't dare to say that, let alone ask, but he also couldn't accept the little curly hair's slight thoughts!

I'm afraid, I'm afraid!

After hesitating for a few minutes, he dialed the phone decisively, opened his mouth and said, "Baby, I miss you..."

Well, to hell with my husband!

He will never pretend to be in front of curly hair in this capacity again!
