ball magic

Keely took care of Gallardo, and he was confident that he could handle the small problems between his old friend and the ball master, and he felt that he was awesome.

However, at breakfast time, as soon as he arrived at the restaurant, he saw Ayala waving desperately at him.

After seeing this scene, Keely waved away Gallardo with a clear understanding, and threw himself into Ayala's arms.

Cough, who made him an ordinary man who was curious and shared a secret with Ayala?

Coincidentally, Ayala doesn't think he is a big mouth either, but he is also a normal man.

Since he is a normal person, of course he also wants to complain.

So after the two of them whispered in the corner of the restaurant, Keeley giggled.

Before his rippling smile subsided, Ayala whispered: "Come on, those two guys are here."

This made Keeley turn his head in an instant, but he could see Aimar walking towards his teammates one by one, giving them high fives.

And Raphael followed behind him with a good temper, without any impatience.

But after seeing this scene, Keely shook his head in disappointment.

These two seemingly normal people don't look as impatient as Ayala said!

Ayala read Keeley's expression.

But the facts speak louder than words, those two young people who were so bored that his stomach ached didn't seem to have anything indescribable happened last night.

This also made him curl his lips and muttered: "No wonder you said you saw one in the gym, can you not go to the gym?"

Obviously they are such young and energetic two people!

Keeley: "..."

Can it be interpreted that way?

This guy can do it.

But after that, Keeley had no time to watch him, because Aimar had already walked to the corner where they were.

Kiley has always liked Aimar, from the day he was promoted to River Plate's first team at the age of 16.

Maybe it was because of his style of play, or maybe it was just because of his smile, so when he saw Aimar coming, he was obviously a senior, but he took the initiative to get up to greet him and gave him a big hug.

This also made Aimar smile extra brightly, and greeted his family and several children.

Keeley answered fluently, but found that the ball bully who was a head taller than him was already staring at him coldly.

cut!

Keely wasn't afraid of him, he had a hostage in his hands.

When Aimar and Gallardo also embraced, he noticed that Rafael's face became even more stinky.

This discovery also made Keely laugh deliberately at Raphael.

He discovered this guy's secret.

However, this smile has a completely different interpretation in Raphael's eyes, so Raphael didn't bother to pay attention to this childish ghost, and after Aimar and Gallardo separated, he urged him to eat quickly.

In order to let Amaldo sleep for a while, he postponed calling him to get up until the last time, and now there is really not much time left for him.

After the two of them left, Keeley and Ayala looked at each other and smiled, but then they also raced against time to eat breakfast.

After all, there is not much time left for the two of them. Bielsa, the demon king, set the time for the first training session at 9 o'clock. After breakfast, they will catch the bus and go to the temporarily rented base for training!

Yes, Bielsa is so ruthless, and regardless of whether players like Ayala and Aimar, who just played a game last night and came all night long, can bear it, training is a must!

Bielsa also has his own logic.

The national team has only a few days of training time, and each batch of players is different. If you don't hurry up and train, will you really have to rely on the individual ability of the players to play football?

So there is no other nonsense under his hands, just one word, practice!

This is what everyone is used to.

Under Bielsa's watchful eyes, everyone lasted for an hour and a half of training in the morning before they heard him finally stop.

When some players breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Bielsa read: "Fernando, Diego, Gabriel, Roberto..."

Ayala was stunned when he heard his name.

what happened!

I am not lazy!

Yes, in his opinion, being named by Bielsa is most likely to be criticized by him, and it is criticized in public.

Although he played all the games last night, he didn't paddle during training.

If he knew that he thought so, the other [-]-year-old men would definitely want to pooh him.

You're not being lazy, are we?

Bielsa said at this moment: "The ones I called out to stay, and the ones I didn't call out can go to rest. You take a break at noon and resume training in the afternoon."

The players who were not called out immediately dispersed.

Even their young captain.

He walked towards Aimar immediately, as if he didn't care that the coach ignored him as the captain of the team at this time.

Bielsa got up in the morning and heard that he waited for Aimar in the hall last night until one o'clock in the morning.

If it wasn't for hearing that he ran to the gym after six o'clock, I would actually have something to say to him.

Cough, although it is difficult to speak...

Keeley was not included in the roll call. He originally wanted to chat with Aimar and ask him to help blow the pillow wind, so that Raphael could let go of his prejudice against Gallardo earlier, but he found out that it was too late...

Although the two young people didn't hold hands, they were very close, and there was no room for a little him.

But the topic of young people is actually no different from that of most people.

After staying away from the crowd, Aimar said in a firm tone: "Marcelo wants to discuss the big list with them."

If it was other questions, Raphael would not be interested at all, but if it was related to the gold cup, everything would be different.

"how do you know?"

Emma smiled at his surprise.

"I think the whole of Argentina, only you don't pay attention to this matter."

But these words made Raphael point to his face and said, "I will take this sentence as a compliment."

Of course he was praising him!

Aimar thought, he even thought this gesture was kind of cute!

And for him like this, his brain must be broken.

Since he was interested in this topic, Raphael acted as a fan, and asked along his words: "Why do you need to discuss with them? I don't think Marcelo is a person who needs to discuss with others to make a decision. I don't even think he needs to give the loser a reason."

This is the Bielsa in his heart, the "crazy" Bielsa.

However, when he finished speaking, he saw Aimar looking at him a little strangely, which made him slow down and said, "Do you have a different opinion?"

Aimar thought for a while, then shook his head, and said, "You are talking about the ideal him. Your evaluation of him like this shows me an idealist, but this idealist is you."

Idealism?

Raphael turned his mind for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "You say I'm a dreamer?"

In fact he thought the dreamer was meant to be in quotes.

But it made him roll his eyes.

Raphael, who was stared at, smiled instead, and asked, "Is that a compliment?"

"Of course!" Aimar said angrily, "Of course I'm praising you."

Since it was praised, Raphael laughed, "Then let's talk about our head coach?"

"Now there is a lot of pressure on him domestically, I mean from public opinion, from fans, or from a higher level."

When Aimar said this, he said again: "I say this not because I care, nor because I want to focus on it, but because I care about Javier (Saviola)."

Raphael nodded.

As it should be.

When he and Little Curly were still friends, he was urging him to perform well, fight hard, and kill Gallardo.

"Javier also has some voices of support, but more of it is Carney. You know, he is in good form now. For the World Cup, he didn't even participate in Diego's farewell match. He paid so much, but he just wanted to It’s nothing more than participating in the last World Cup, which is also the hope of the fans.”

When Aimar said this, he said: "Similar to him, there are Ortega, Roman (Riquelme), Veron, too many. Even without them, there are too many candidates on the front line. too much……"

He looked up at Raphael with those caramel-colored eyes: "I actually don't want you to pay attention to this."

This look made Raphael smile instead, and he repeated deliberately: "Because I'm an idealist?"

Aimar snorted: "You are Rafael now, not Baby Rafa. I won't treat you as a child, I just think it's unnecessary, these things are also very boring, and it doesn't depend on you, you know this , and just know."

Raphael understood what he meant, which made him take the initiative to hold his hand.

Aimar originally wanted to avoid it, but his teammates were not far away!

Unexpectedly, his body did not refuse.

Well, Aimar resigned to his fate and held his hand back, when he heard Raphael's voice.

"You're right, these are not up to me, and if no one tells me, I'm not interested in knowing. But what do you mean by higher levels? Grondona?"

Aimar looked up in surprise, and saw those blinking eyes.

This made Aimar feel a little bit frustrated——

How could this guy be so keen on this kind of thing?

But he had nothing to hide, and explained: "I heard some such statements, Ayala told me, Javier also said some, in fact, everyone will have their own channels to know about these."

Raphael understood that the curly hair was from River Plate after all, and even that guy Simeone represented the power that broke away from these two factions in the locker room.

So in a sense, this guy and Zanetti are the same.

Yes, although he doesn't know much about these things, he actually knows.

But what he didn't understand was——

"Can Bielsa bear it?"

Seeing that he was still obsessed with this, Aimar laughed. What kind of image does Bielsa have in his heart?

He explained: "Have you forgotten? Before Marcelo coached, he was only a coach who won the Argentine Spring League Championship."

It was such a sentence that shattered some of Raphael's filters for Bielsa.

Partially, because of Bielsa's football.

He asked again: "Then he is keeping these guys now, is he going to share 'power' with them?"

Aimar shook his head and said: "Marcelo is also very awkward, he probably won't, but I think he should want to pass the message through the players. But there may be other possibilities. Anyway, I hope Javier can seize this time Chance."

Raphael didn't speak.

In his memory, Saviola was not selected for this World Cup.

This made him say to Aimar with a little worry: "Is Argentina top-heavy for a day or two? No matter what choice we make, all we can do is to be ourselves."

Even in his memory, Argentina experienced the biggest defeat since the 1986 World Cup in this cup, he still didn't take it to heart.

Because he always believed in himself, he still believed in his opponents, and he even believed in Bielsa.

Because he loves Bielsa's football.

Maybe it's too trendy for this era, but for Argentina it's like tango, born in danger and yet so sexy.

Although he admires Pekerman more, he will not refuse tango, nor will he refuse Bielsa's football.

It's just that if this is the case, there is no need to tell Curly.

After all, his image in Little Curly's heart was already strange enough, and he didn't want him to put more weird labels on him.

They waited on the bus for more than half an hour before Redondo and Bielsa came back together.

After they got into the car, Raphael found that almost everyone was looking at them except for the little curly who had fallen asleep on his body.

This also shows how concerned everyone is about the World Cup quota.

But that's understandable, because even he's fighting for it, isn't he?

But Redondo couldn't see anything on his face.

Batty is a guy who likes to laugh, he looks at whoever looks at him.

Simeone is a weirdo. After noticing everyone's gaze, he rolled his eyes at everyone.

Instead, Raphael looked at the head coach twice more.

He thought that he, who was labeled an idealist by curly hair, might want to put the same label on Bielsa at this moment.

He doesn't want to find approval in Bielsa, but he may appreciate Bielsa like that more.

After returning to the hotel, because there are still 2 hours before lunch time, Aimar intends to race against time to sleep for a while.

But as soon as he pulled back the quilt, he found that there was an extra person on the bed.

Raphael said confidently: "Replenish sleep."

He really needs to catch up on sleep.

After all, having nothing to do is better than sleeping with your wife in your arms.

Aimar glanced at him, and then fell directly on the bed, which was revenge for being crushed last night.

When he heard a muffled grunt, he smiled triumphantly.

This season, at any rate, he managed to gain 2 kg of muscle compared to last season.

yeah!

When they were woken up by the alarm clock and rushed to the restaurant, did they find out where their teammates were eating?

Almost everyone surrounded the three old men Redondo, Simeone and Batty. There were also Gallardo and Keely near Ayala.

Raphael just glanced at it, then looked away.

Now he is hungry and just wants to take his wife to fill his stomach quickly.

Before he took Aimar to get the dinner plate, he heard a call——

"Boy, come here."

Raphael turned his head in an instant, staring at Simeone.

Old boy, I am your captain!

But the squad leader still gave Simeone a face and walked over, and the few people who were sitting opposite Simeone immediately gave up their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Simeone coughed, as if he was thinking about how to start.

At this time, Redondo, who was sitting on the side, said: "Marcelo has some troubles that should not belong to him. We think it is most appropriate for you as the captain to talk to him."

Barty let out a "wow" in his heart, as expected of Redondo!

When Batty looked at Raphael, he saw him get up coolly and said, "Got it. You guys also obediently go to eat."

What do you mean by "you also give me food obediently"?

Batty just finds it funny, we are not your little nephew who just turned 6 years old!

A slap in the face happened...

The teammates who had surrounded them immediately dispersed, and either returned to their positions to pretend to eat, or went to fetch food, they were so good!

and then?

He found himself stared at!

The little bastard standing opposite him stared at him condescendingly and arrogantly, and asked in a commanding tone: "Why don't you go?"

Batty: "..."

f*!

For the sake of taking the blame on you, I will endure it!

When Rafael went back, he found that Aimar had already fetched him food and was waiting for him.

This made him feel a lot better. When he walked towards him, Aimar whispered: "Captain, you look cool."

Raphael: "..."

Well, cool.
