ball magic

June 2002, 6, Children's Day.

This is Luis' holiday, but the little guy is more happy than the gift he received, that he finally got to meet Papa!

Cough, of course he is happy to see his uncle, but he hasn't seen Papa for a long time.

He felt that Papa must miss him very much, and would definitely give him a big kiss after seeing him.

As for Rafa, isn't there Bart?

He could give Bart to him.

Little Louis thought that the arrangement was perfect, and his father also burst out laughing after hearing his brilliant ideas.

This made little Louis even more proud.

The childish words of the little guy made the adults overjoyed, but soon the little guy abandoned them and went to find his own playmates.

After all, there are many children in this car, and he has many playmates now.

This also made Javier complain to his sister: "I don't know what Bielsa thinks, why must it be at the base, aren't they going to have their first World Cup game tomorrow? Isn't it in another place? Why not go one day earlier so we can get along more comfortably?"

Veronica didn't have time to speak. Byron, who was obviously British but was not afraid of death to hang out with the Argentine family group, explained first: "According to what I found out, they have already stepped on the stage. And the Ibaraki County where the competition is also in the suburbs of Tokyo, It's not very far from the base.

Bielsa appears to be planning to head straight from base to pitch tomorrow morning.

I personally think this is a good idea, after all, staying in a hotel may be harassed by fans or the media. "

This explanation is reasonable, but it doesn't make sense——

At least it is "reasonable" in Javier's heart.

But Javier has an advantage, that is, he is obedient.

This obedience is not only in front of his wife, sister and younger brother, but also in front of smart people and people he values.

And Byron has long been his good brother, since he gave a reasonable explanation, he didn't complain anymore.

Veronica changed the subject at this time: "How is Nigeria's level? Compared with Cameroon?"

Although she is busy with work, the World Cup is a major event that every Argentine cares about, let alone her brother, so he also paid attention to the warm-up match, knowing that the Argentine Football Association asked Cameroon to play the warm-up match to understand the style of African teams .

This is obviously also to prepare for Nigeria, and the first battle was successful.

Byron didn't even think about it: "I watched their games, and the style is indeed similar to that of Cameroon, and they don't have as many stars as Cameroon.

If Cameroon's main players are all playing in the five major leagues, or even giants like Real Madrid, then their players come from all over the world.

Not only played for Arsenal's Kanu, and Paris Saint-Germain's Okocha, but also played for players in the Chinese Super League.

Of the four teams in Group F, the media believes that Argentina is the strongest, followed by England and Sweden, and Nigeria is the worst.

I personally agree that Argentina is the strongest and Nigeria is the worst, but it is not easy to say between England and Sweden. "

Speaking of this, Byron smiled self-deprecatingly, "After all, we haven't won against Sweden in decades."

He talked about this, but Javier comforted him, and the comfort was very reasonable——

"Think about it, you have Irving. That kid is still very good at playing against strong teams. Isn't that what he did to Germany before?"

This is so reasonable!

Byron grinned, Javier is indeed his good brother.

When they finally arrived at the base, they saw that the players were already waiting at the gate, how much they were looking forward to their arrival.

Javier held his son and watched through the car window, trying to find his younger brother, but at this moment, a dog's head squeezed over abruptly. This is Bart, who has been dozing listlessly since getting in the car, and is now full of energy. !

Javier looked at its dog's head getting closer and closer, and simply made room for it.

This picture also made other family members laugh, and some even deliberately called Bart's name.

But our corporal Bart didn't hear it, and instead wagged his tail faster and faster.

Javier knew that it must have smelled Rafa just by seeing its increasingly energetic ears.

Sure enough, when the bus stopped and the door just opened, it jumped out of the door at the fastest speed, sped away, and fell into Raphael's arms in less than two seconds.

With its explosive power and speed, Javier felt that if his younger brother hadn't practiced it, he might be thrown to the ground by it.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry to get out of the car, Louis urged him eagerly. Bart had already found Rafa, and he wanted to see Papa too!

At the moment, the Argentine internationals are also amazed.

Everyone knows that Rafael likes the dog named Bart, even fans all over the world know this.

But apart from those who played for Inter Milan, everyone only heard about this dog by its name and never saw its face. Even if they saw it, they only saw videos and photos.

Now that the deity appeared in front of them, who wouldn't want to masturbate?

Before they could make a move, they saw a more miraculous side——

Raphael's side of the dog.

This doesn't refer to movements, but to his demeanor, look at the smile on his face, the soft light in his eyes, the love radiating from his whole body...

Saviola lived in Rafael's house for a while, and has seen this kind of scene a long time ago, but at this moment, she still couldn't help but secretly complained to Aimar: "I have never seen him look at you like this, nor have I seen him look like this Louis, even his daddy!"

To his surprise, Aimar actually said: "This is normal."

Where is this normal?

Saviola glared at him, that guy was so kind to Bart, Javier was jealous, he didn't care?

Aimar read his eyes and told him quietly: "That guy is very awkward, but it's different with Bart. He can show his love for Bart without restraint, don't be shy - don't tell others, Otherwise I will be angry."

But it was such a sentence that made Saviola dumbfounded.

No, it was a complete shutdown——

shy?

Raphael?

This guy is also shy?

Who would believe this kind of thing, and he was actually worried that he would spread it?

He looked at Aimar like this, but Aimar had already seen the family members getting off the car, and at this moment, he abandoned him without hesitation and rushed to his mother's arms.

Raphael, who had been concentrating on petting the dog before, now has another Louis in his arms who is hugging his face and kissing madly, leaning over to kiss Veronica.

If he didn't know their identities and just looked at this picture, Saviola would definitely be jealous.

Look, my beautiful wife and beautiful son are all in my arms, isn't this a winner in life?

It was precisely because he knew that Veronica and Louise were just Raphael's sister and nephew that he couldn't help complaining in his heart. ——

Hmph, sister-in-law!

Saviola took a last look at the former goddess, and at the call of her fiancée, she opened her hands and embraced her.

Someone's beautiful wife and beautiful son are pure fiction, but his beautiful wife is already in his arms.

He is happier now.

After hugging his sister, Rafael also gave the stupid brother and adoptive father a hug.

Especially the latter, to come to see him at this time, is at the risk of being expelled from his nationality.

After embracing his family, he did not forget to please his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, it is rare for them to meet each other.

After Raphael hugged Louis, Javier and Byron stared dumbfounded at the picture of him courting Aimar's parents.

Rafa actually...

Uh, that's normal, right?

Veronica felt that the expressions of these two guys were too exaggerated, so she punched them both directly.

Javier held his head and dared not speak, while Byron was aggrieved——

This girl is as beautiful as she is beautiful, why does she like to use hands and feet?This is not good.

And, why do you even want to fight with me?

Good times are short-lived, and after having dinner together, it's time to say goodbye.

Louis was reluctant to part, and Bart also rubbed against Rafael's legs and did not want to leave, which made Aimar very reluctant.

Raphael wiped away tears for Louis helplessly, and was about to coax him when he saw Bielsa walking over.

Everyone greeted the coach one after another, and Bielsa also greeted everyone.

Just when everyone thought that the ruthless coach was here to chase people away, Bielsa actually squatted down and greeted Bart.

However, our aloof Corporal Bart just glanced at him, didn't even flick his tail, and continued to rub his head against Raphael's long legs.

Bielsa not only didn't care, but even laughed, praising him as a loyal and good dog.

Such a compliment made Aimar immediately label him a dog lover, and tentatively asked: "Marcelo, Spain took the Duck Cole, can we keep Bart as our mascot?"

After hearing such a proposal, Bielsa, who loves dogs very much, was very heartbroken... rejected!

Yes, refuse, of course he has to refuse, after all he doesn't even let the family members of the players in, let alone dogs?

The captain shouldn't have this kind of privilege.

But at this time, Byron suddenly interjected: "I think this is a very good proposal. You must know that Bart is a dog who served in the Royal Navy and can bring good luck."

These words made Aimar dumbfounded, and felt that it must be hopeless to keep Bart.

After that naval battle, every Argentinian wanted to blow up the British ship. Isn't Byron worthy of a beating when he mentions the Royal Navy now?

But what shocked him was that Bielsa agreed in seconds!

Even Rafael was surprised now, Bielsa actually thinks Bart can bring good luck to Argentina?

If he really believed this, why didn't he mention asking him to bring Duck Keer?

That duck is the lucky duck who has left his own "legend" in football.

Silicon-based people told him the truth.

[I think he's thinking the exact opposite of you. ]

"on the contrary?"

[He knew that during World War II, there was a famous cat in Britain, which once "sinked" five warships, and another "killed" thousands of soldiers.Before the Anglo-Afghanistan War, there was a dog in front of him who had served in the British Navy. ]

Raphael: "..."

He understood, Bielsa must be thinking: Since British cats are so "lucky", can British dogs also do the same?

But if the British are to be unlucky, it would be reasonable to send Bart to the England locker room, right?

However, as Bart's master, no matter what angle Bielsa considers from, he is happy that Bart can stay.

But Louis obviously didn't agree with this result, which caused the kid who couldn't stay to leave crying.

Aimar felt sorry for Luis, but he didn't know how to evaluate the result.

Looking at Raphael who was already planning to take Bart around the base for a few laps, he still gave up asking those two questions now——

Where does Bart sleep?

What about Bart's dog food?

The things he can think about, the silly owner who loves dogs will also think about it.

Facts have proved that male stars don't need to worry about diet and daily life.

After knowing that Bielsa allowed Bart to stay, the equipment manager contributed a large cardboard box and two soft blankets as Bart's nest.

And the chef even made dog food for Bart, and Bart was also very face-saving, sucking in the storm, and swept away all the food in less than 2 minutes.

Thinking that Rafael would also like to take this male star with him during his summer vacation, Aimar even wanted to ask the chef for a recipe for dog rice.

As for Bart's den, of course it was in their room.

Of course, before making this decision, Raphael looked at him "wishfully".

How could Aimar refuse to act so maliciously?

What's more, he didn't intend to refuse at all.

So the day before the World Cup, Aimar found that there was an extra big dog to whom he wanted to say good night.

"Good night, Bart."

"puff."

This laughter made Aimar a little unhappy: "Why are you laughing, can't I say good night to Bart?"

Raphael held back a smile: "No, no, baby, I'm just thinking about a question."

"uh-huh?"

"I was wondering if you could fall asleep, after all tomorrow is the World Cup."

After hearing someone's declaration like this, Aimar took his arm away from his waist, turned on the desk lamp, turned to look at him, and responded proudly, "Baby Rafa, I'm a World Cup winner, The person who played, the real rookie of the World Cup should be you?"

"You actually said that I'm a rookie?" Raphael made an expression of disbelief.

Aimar said confidently: "Aren't you a rookie? You haven't even kicked a minute. If you want to say nervous, it should be you? If you are so scared that you can't sleep, I can coax you, after all, you are a baby."

"..."

This made Rafael regret for the first time that he usually played with baby memes.

Just when he was about to refute, he discovered that Bart, who was already lying in the big box, actually poked out a dog's head from the tall box.

He said helplessly, "Bart, get down."

Bart groaned aggrievedly, but this groan didn't change Rafael's mind.

Seeing this, Bart could only retract his head obediently.

Aimar thinks this Bart is super cute, and Rafael reaches out and turns his face to make his eyes look at her, "Baby, I didn't let it stay to attract your attention."

"So you're a greedy ghost." Aimar complained, "You're just afraid that your dog will love me more than you."

Rafael retorted: "Wrong."

"No, you are afraid that it will be like Louis!"

"I'm afraid you love it more than me."

"..."

Two seconds later, Aimar kissed the sweet-mouthed guy.

Just when Rafael wanted to deepen this good night kiss, Aimar pressed his shoulder and said softly: "You will score tomorrow, I know you will, who are you going to give the goal to? "

That's a good question.

Before that, Raphael would of course want to give it to Veronica, just like the first goal he scored in Deportivo and the national team was given to Veronica.

His first World Cup goal, of course, must be given to his sister.

But this question was asked by his wife!

And his wife has already eaten his stupid brother's jealousy before!

As Rafael tried to get Silicon to provide sideline assistance, Aimar was already laughing.

His laughter was even a little presumptuous, and it might be spread downstairs to some extent, or his teammates who lived on the left and right. He also knew that this was a bit too much, but he really couldn't control himself.

Because he believed it to be true, Raphael with a tangled face is so funny and cute!

At this time, how could Raphael not understand the situation?

He directly blocked the laughter with his mouth, and when Aimar was about to push him away out of breath, he snorted, thinking that the deer had failed.

Seeing his angry look, Aimar couldn't help teasing him, "Are you trying to give that goal to Ronnie? Have you considered the feelings of me, Al, and Javier?"

But what he didn't expect was that Raphael actually fought back, "Baby, if you score a goal, do you want to give it to me, or to Mom and Dad?"

Aimar: "..."

Forget it, let's sleep.

Seeing him silently turning around and turning off the lamp again, Raphael couldn't help laughing again.

Aimar glared at him when he heard the laughter, and then turned off the lamp with a snap. When he returned to the bed, he was pulled into a warm embrace.

This reminded Aimar of his trip to the last World Cup.

At that time his roommate was still Simeone, and Simeone was still the captain of the national team at that time.

Hey, why did he suddenly feel sorry for Simeone?

But Simeone is definitely a good man, a good senior who takes good care of him, and a captain worthy of respect.

He said this to the big baby beside him, but the big baby snorted: "I also know that after you washed his underwear, you praised him as a good man in front of me."

Aimar: "...Diego really took care of me."

Raphael snorted, of course he knew that Simeone was a good guy, but he was just angry, otherwise why is he still thinking about it?

Yes, it was because of this incident that he added Simeone's name to his vengeance notebook.

Of course, he also remembered that guy's kindness to him, which were two different things.

Aimar went on to talk about some interesting stories of the last cup, including Sorin bullying Zanetti as a prank, Ortega got drunk and was angry with Passarella and so on.

This is something Raphael doesn't know, and he has never heard Aimar mention it before.

Even though Andrea and Anna were by his side at that time, he still talked to him every day in the United States.

It also made him want to know more, like—

"The day you lost, before I called you, what were you doing? Who gave you the drink?"

"During the phone call? I was on the patio but would love to get on the roof. The wine was given to me by Ortega.

He took good care of me during that time and was a good guy at heart, so don't be mad at him.Diego was sad too, he even said something to me. "

Raphael took his hand and pointed at himself with his finger, "Is it related to me?"

Aimar hummed, and said in a low voice: "At that time he was packing his luggage, and when he saw me, he told me that he actually hated himself a little bit."

Raphael: "...that's not like what he would say."

This is Simeone, who has witnessed Simeone's weakness?

"He said he hated himself and that if he was strong enough, like another Diego, he could take on Passarella and keep you and Gabe and even Phil."

Raphael was silent.

Aimar clenched his hand, but his voice was even softer: "I told him at that time that he would do it. As long as there is one World Cup, you will fight side by side. I think he must be looking forward to tomorrow's game now." , looking forward to the big game with England."

"baby."

"Ok?"

Raphael leaned over and kissed the tip of his nose and the corners of his mouth before muttering softly, "I just want to kiss you."

Aimar smiled silently, then pulled his hand away from his palm, and pressed him back again.

"Baby Rafa, sleep well, Louis is better than you now."

Raphael snorted, he didn't like such a comparison.

Aimar said softly: "Baby Rafa, good night."

"Good night."

"Good night, Bart."

"Wang!"

Bart's response made Rafael laugh, and put his arms around Aimar's waist again.

He likes big competitions, whether it is the Copa America or the World Cup, not only to enjoy the competition, but also to enjoy the game itself, and also like the precious time he can spend with Aimar.

He also loves clinging to his fawn, sharing each other's breath and heartbeat.

Such a close distance also allows them to know each other's secrets, for example, he knows that the deer in his arms is not asleep yet.

What is the reason why "Sleeping God" can't fall asleep?

Raphael didn't want to go into the details, and he didn't want to blame the pot on his hug, since the baby deer couldn't sleep, he just coaxed it.

He hummed a song.

A brilliant, tried and tested song.

When the humming sounded faintly in the bedroom, Aimar, who was curled up in his arms, couldn't hold back anymore.

It's all because of the guy behind him.

Really, it's all his fault for singing Louis's favorite ever Tom Thumb!

Is this trying to coax him into Louis?

Raphael noticed his dissatisfaction, but he didn't take it to heart. He was very confident in his lullaby.

Seeing that he was singing more and more vigorously, Aimar simply turned over to see how this guy coaxed him.

He did so, but the singing in his ears continued——

"Hey, little fool where are you from?

Is the water wave sending you wriggling forward, or are you rolling along with the current?

Is it your giggles or your murmurs that sway the road?

hey tom thumb what adventure did you escape from

To stagger or hop and sprint when crossing the road..."

Aimar once liked this song so much that he even searched it on the Internet.

Now he feels so stupid.

He should hold him like this now, let him sing in his arms over and over again...
