ball magic

Eccentric like Lao Tuo, at the post-match press conference, he forcibly defined the "shoulder throw" that reporters were most interested in as an unconventional celebration!

And with a look of "Believe it or not, I believe it anyway".

The reporters want to hype up the fact that Deportivo's two stars are not in harmony, but there is nothing to speculate about, because the league has reached the most important stage! 22 teams, 42 long league rounds, also means that the places for relegation and the Champions League are more "abundant".

Because Rivaldo was abandoned by the Brazilian coach, it is good news for Depor, because they will not lose the front trident at the same time.

Rafael's performance in the following April and early May can be said to be radiant.

He has no Champions League to perform, no UEFA Cup to fight for. The La Liga Golden Boot and European Golden Boot are the only personal honors he can fight for this season, and he will never allow them to fall by the wayside.

The ambition to get his hands on the Golden Boot is so obvious, but no one can hate Rafael, not even Rivaldo, because the "cake" sent by this kid is really delicious.

After nearly a season of training, coupled with the virtual space, Rafael can accurately send the ball to their feet with his eyes closed.Rafael also likes to be with these two Brazilians, whether it is their personalities or the feeling of being connected with each other when they play football together.

If they can still play together next season, it will be a better Depor team.

But Raphael knew that when summer came, there would be a farewell.

Laco is very good, but for foreigners like them, this small harbor town is just the first stop of their travel.

They may miss the sea breeze here and the South Stand here in the future, but to leave the best memory, they still need to be embellished with trophies and medals.

Rafael wants to leave more for the team and fans, and also wants to leave more for himself, and he will do his best.

On May 5, the Argentine Football Association sent a fax stating that Raphael was selected for the World Youth Championship.As much as Lendoiro would have liked to refuse the draft for Rafael, Toshack objected, and certainly would not have dared if he had not objected.

Everyone who has dealt with Rafael can feel his character. If he refuses to be recruited on his behalf, Rafael may refuse to play in the next game...

Rendoiro can only comfort himself, it doesn't matter, the World Youth Championship is also a good stage, a good stage...

On May 5, Depor once again visited Barcelona. After 23 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides drew 90:3.

It may be because he did not lose, or it may be that it will be difficult to play against each other in the future. After the game, Ronaldo walked up to Rafael and asked him to exchange jerseys.

Raphael took off the jersey and handed it to him without saying a word, and "Rabbit Tooth" immediately smiled.

"It's a pity without you in the America's Cup," Ronaldo said.

"Argentina is still the strongest team in South America without me." Rafael said, what he said was true.Even if Argentina did not send the strongest lineup in this America's Cup, it is still the strongest opponent of the Samba Army.

Ronaldo didn't expect Rafael to say this. As usual, shouldn't he boast about business?But thinking about the character of the person in front of him, Ronaldo smiled generously, and still sent his blessings, "Then look forward to seeing us in the World Cup, goodbye."

This sentence is obviously also very suggestive. After watching him turn around, Rafael looked around the Nou Camp again, and walked towards the away fans' stands with the spoils from the "alien".

The arrival of Rafael made him cheered by all Deportivo fans, all Deportivo fans already knew that Rafael would fly back to Argentina after the game.After the World Youth Championship, Rafael may never return to Deportivo again.

Every fan is so reluctant, but the reality is also in front of them, no matter where Raphael's next stop is, it is destined to be a giant, and they also need this money to continue signings.

Fran walked to Rafael's side, gently hooked his shoulders, and thanked the fans with him.

Originally, Lao Tuo hoped to tell the fans before the last home match day, so that he could have a perfect farewell, but Rafael refused.

Juan, who still didn't get a chance to play today, could only watch Raphael's back being embraced by Fran and Jaminia from the sidelines.

He once asked him secretly, why didn't he say goodbye to the fans?

Raphael just put down the book in his hand and said calmly, "Because I'm just a passer-by, and I don't deserve more."

The answer was "Raphael" as always, but Juan was extremely sad at that moment, because he knew that he might just be a short passer-by in Rafael's football career and life.

After thanking and saying goodbye to the fans, Raphael returned to the visiting team's locker room. Toshack was waiting for him. When he saw him, he waved to him and said, "Come here, kid, let me give you a big hug!"

The corners of Raphael's mouth were slightly raised, and he took the initiative to hug the Welshman.

"Play well, and you make me a little bit jealous of Pekerman," Toshack said.

There was a little laughter in the locker room, unlike before.

Raphael patted Lao Tuo on the shoulder, "You don't need to be jealous of anyone, because you are also the only coach in my heart."

Lao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud the next moment. Everyone was laughing this time.

"I swear, if I write an autobiography in the future, I will definitely write this sentence in my autobiography!" Jaminia said loudly!

"Who did you sell your autobiography to? Brazilians?" Fran teased him, which drew Jaminia's glare.

The smile on the corner of Raphael's mouth deepened, he clapped his hands, and when everyone looked at him, he said, "League champion——"

"Ours!" Everyone shouted in unison!

"The Copa del Rey—"

"Ours!" Everyone's voices could almost break through the roof of the locker room this time!

Rafael smiled and raised his right thumb, "I haven't lifted the trophy yet, don't lose my championship!"

Everyone booed him immediately, and Jaminia even said, "Wait, we will let you lay two champions!"

Only then did Rafael go to take a shower satisfied. After he finished taking a shower, Lao Tuo was still in the development meeting. Juan handed him the mobile phone as always. Rafael glanced at him after taking it this time, stepped forward, and hugged Hug Juan.

"Train well."

Juan nodded vigorously with sore eyes.

This kid is a member of Deportivo's youth training. If it's not for stability, he should be able to get more playing time.Rafael had nothing to worry about. He put on his clothes, took Juan's packed luggage, put on his baseball cap, and when everyone looked at him, he waved to everyone, "Goodbye guys."

"Kick well!"

"It would be embarrassing to lose the championship!"

"See you next time, Rafa."

Rafael looked at his teammates one by one, and raised his eyebrows at Juan, who was about to cry. Gomez raised his hand and said, "Well, take a group photo?"

Rafael thought for a while and said, "I'll wait for the coach to come back."

When Toshack returned to the locker room, he saw that everyone had already taken a group photo with Rafael, and everyone was waiting for him to take a "family portrait".

This made Lao Tuo a little happy, and the reluctance he had suppressed a little bit more.

After taking the photo, Lao Tuo patted him, but this time he didn't say anything.

The Pampas eagle is destined to soar between heaven and earth.

Raphael doesn't like parting, but this time it feels good to say goodbye, after all, it's life and not death.

See you next time, whether it is an opponent or a teammate, a hug is enough.

After returning to Buenos Aires, Rafael was still tied up on the plane, and after putting on an eye mask and earplugs, he still had a long sleep.

After more than ten hours of flying, he finally returned to Argentina, and the staff of the Football Association picked him up, but this also attracted the attention of some fans.After signing more than a dozen autographs, Rafael was able to get away and head to the Ezeiza training base with the blessings of the fans.

The staff didn't talk much this time, but they have a good memory. They said a lot to him after he got in the car, "Jose (Pekerman) said that you should take a good rest for two days. I hope to see or hear about your additional training. He said that too much strength training for young people is not good, and proper rest can help you grow better."

Raphael frowned slightly, but still nodded to indicate that he would execute it.

But the staff member's next sentence successfully touched the softest part of his heart——

"No. 9 is yours, No. 8 is Riquelme's, No. 10 is Aimar, oh, the captain is Cambiasso, he is No. 5..."

Raphael doesn't have any idea about the captain's armband, but he has a lot of opinions about the number 10 belonging to Aimar!

The staff went on to say: "You live with Aimar. Jose said that since you have a good relationship, you should live together. Just let him guide you to familiarize yourself with the environment. He is also very popular in the team, and he can help you as soon as possible. adapt to the team."

Raphael twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and pressed the baseball cap.

Aimar, who was missed by Rafael, was packing his luggage.

Because of the preparations for the America's Cup, the Ezeiza training base now has both senior team players and echelon players like them, so the housing is a bit tight, so the temporary housing environment for them is just...

After Aimar came to the assigned room, he saluted and put it away, then asked the management staff for cleaning tools, and cleaned and cleaned diligently.

When he heard the knock on the door, he put down the mop in his hand to open the door, and saw Cambiasso—the one who [became stronger and bald] in the future.

But at this time, Cambiasso has blond hair and is praised by the Argentine media as the "child of the sun".

The moment he saw him, Aimar was a little happy, but when Cambiasso saw the mop behind Aimar and looked at the room again, he couldn't help widening his eyes, and shouted a little bluffingly: "Paburido! You Isn’t it too exaggerated? You can still live here!”

"Did you just fly back?" Aimar, who had almost become a medical student, was unwilling to delve into this topic, and diverted Cambiasso's attention.

Cambiasso immediately forgot to complain, and said with a smile: "I arrived last night. Fortunately, I provided a direct flight ticket this time. If I have a connecting flight, I will have to endure a few more hours."

Aimar waved his hand at him, "Wait for me to get off, I'll give you a hug after I wash my hands, big one!"

"You look like a little girl." Cambiasso asked casually while complaining, "Who do you live with? Who is the lucky one to live in such a clean house?"

"Lucky?"

"Isn't it? I slept all night and now I don't even open the windows."

Aimar's laughter came from the bathroom, and when he came out, he hugged Cambiasso, and after letting go, he smiled and said, "It's Rafael."

Cambiasso put away his smiling face and asked coldly, "Rafael Rodriguez?"

"That's right, it's him." Aimar blinked, not knowing why Cambiasso's attitude was so indifferent. You must know that there is no positional conflict between the two of them, after all, Rafael is now playing as a striker.

"The little lunatic who beat me up because I struck up a conversation with his sister?" Cambiasso asked through gritted teeth.

"And this thing?" Aimar was amazed and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you the same age as Rafael?"

If he remembered correctly, Cambiasso was two months younger!So he actually went to strike up a conversation with Veronica?

"That's right, I'm the same age as that kid, we're still teammates in the World Junior Championships, oh, I'm also unfortunately roommates with him, you don't know how annoying that bastard is—"

"You should be lucky," Rafael said coldly, "I didn't kick your balls at that time."

Aimar immediately looked towards the door, and saw Raphael wearing a baseball cap and carrying a backpack. The embarrassed staff behind him waved his hands and ran away when he saw his gaze.

"Rafa!" Aimar smiled and stepped forward to give Rafael a hug.

Seeing Cambiasso's unhappy face, Raphael didn't avoid it, but even patted Aimar on the head.

After Aimar greeted him, he looked at Raphael with some doubts, and then at Cambiasso, "Didn't you fly over from Spain together?"

"No, he is from Barcelona and I am from Madrid." Cambiasso said blankly.

Raphael gave him a cold look, then walked into the room and put the bag on the table.

"I'll go back first. By the way, I live with Roman. If you need anything, you can find us." Cambiasso waved to Aimar, walked out before he could speak, and "smoothly" closed the door.

Aimar scratched his hair, turned to Raphael who was staring at the mop and asked, "You don't have a good relationship with him?"

"I'm defeated." Raphael dropped four words, and then added, "He's both on and off the court."

He took off his hat and put it on the table, took off his coat and threw it on the bed, turned to look at him and asked, "Do you want to clean?"

Aimar originally looked at him with subtle little eyes to pretend to be aggressive, but when he saw his eyes now, he quickly explained, "No one lived here before, and the staff didn't clean it very carefully, it was too dirty."

Raphael nodded, took the mop to the bathroom.

As soon as he entered, he found that the walls of the bathroom were all wet, apparently just washed, and Raphael silently labeled Curly as a "cleanliness".

Aimar followed and said, "Esteban is a nice person. He came to say hello to me just now. There is no training tomorrow. I can invite you to dinner tonight—it is the barbecue restaurant I mentioned earlier."

When Raphael heard him mention the barbecue, he turned around and asked him, "Have you calculated the tip in advance?"

Aimar: "..."

He shouldn't talk to him!You shouldn't worry about whether he can integrate into the team!

The author has something to say: Cambiasso was originally from the independent team and is currently in Real Madrid. He is also a 16-year-old genius.But Capello didn't like him and didn't even allow him to train with the team.

So going to a wealthy family when you are young is a double day of sadness and joy.

About Rafa and La Coruña:

Aimar has a favorite Argentine rock group "lospiojos". They have a song, which is translated into Chinese like this, which is enough to describe these Argentine players drifting in Europe——

"I am an eagle walking on a high place. I can see all the majesty and confusion, but I don't like it. There is no storm there. I continue to spread my wings. My mother didn't tell me to park there. In the wind and rain, I am powerless and proud. ——".
