ball magic

Chapter 78

The young men from the riverbed on the opposite side were actually the training partners of the senior team, and some of them were seconded by Pekerman.Because they are all from River Plate, they are quite familiar with young players from River Plate such as Aimar.

Because it was an in-team training, neither side wore shin guards, but at the beginning of the game, some players secretly regretted it, because the opponent's movement scale didn't look like they were here to be a training partner!

In fact, this is exactly what Pekerman requested.

These young players, except for Rafael, have basically been promoted to the first team of their clubs, such as Aimar and Riquelme, but they don't have much playing time.

Pekerman pointed his sword at the laurels, and there was nothing to lose.

Traditionally, Argentina's playing style is different from Samba's skill-based style, and also different from the Europa Continental team's emphasis on strength and confrontation. Instead, the two are a blend and complement each other.

But since Maradona became an iconic figure, in Pekerman's view, Argentina's youth training has taken a detour. There are many short people, such as Riquelme, who is more than 180 centimeters tall. But a lot less, which is not a good sign.

Because although Maradona is a dwarf, he is a dwarf whose strength is against the epic level!

At the beginning of the game, the substitute team with four over-age players gave the main team a big blow, which gave them a slight advantage in the first few minutes, but after a few minutes, the main team's midfielder adapted to their defensive hardness .

Raphael hibernates patiently, carefully using this time to observe the running of his teammates.He has used the time in the virtual space to know each of his current teammates in advance, but this understanding does not mean that he can integrate into this team.

Take Curly as an example. Aimar played today not so much as a midfielder, but more like a shadow forward, and Raphael himself needs more defense, of course, this is not a problem for him.

When Raphael observed his teammates, his teammates were actually observing him.In the 6th minute, Riquelme faced three double-teams and successfully sent a long pass to Raphael. Raphael volleyed, but it was a bit offside.

But it's clearly a sign, a positive sign.

A few minutes later, it was Aimar who sent the pass to Rafael. In fact, it can be said that this little guy is quite eccentric. From the beginning of the game until now, he has passed the ball to Rafael whenever he has the opportunity, and he has not passed once. to Romeo.

Raphael knew the little man's mind, not because he thought Romeo could compete with him, but because the little man wanted him to score a goal as soon as possible and show himself in front of his teammates.

This time the ball was under his feet, and Raphael directly drove the ball into the penalty area. The defense of the substitute team was simply vulnerable to him.

In fact, he can even beat the goalkeeper if he wants to.But considering that everyone is teammates, Raphael didn't pull hatred.

Aimar ran over to celebrate with Rafael the moment he scored, and in fact was the only teammate in the team to celebrate with him.

It's not that everyone thinks this is just a harmless intra-team match, and scoring a goal is nothing to celebrate, but because Rafael is so unpopular.

As the little baby of his teammates, he is so unpopular in front of teammates of the same age. Of course, they didn't show that they hated him.

Raphael obviously didn't think he had anything to be proud of for abusing River Plate's substitute players. When Curly came to celebrate with him, he just curled his lips and clapped his hands as a celebration.

"You are really unpopular..." Aimar covered his mouth in a low voice and sighed. He didn't receive such treatment when he first entered the youth team.

Raphael: →_→

Do I seem to care?Jose likes me enough!snort!

Raphael didn't take the indifference of his teammates at ease. In fact, even if these guys didn't pass him the ball for no reason, he didn't care, saying it as if he couldn't grab it.

It is not terrible to grab the ball, whoever is weak will be embarrassed.

At this moment, Pekerman called Raphael, and after Raphael looked, he saw Peishuai giving him a thumbs up, and a smile bloomed on that rare smiling face again.

Raphael was different from the stingy "smile" when the little curly hair looked for him to celebrate, this time he smiled.

Curly looked at Raphael's eyes-filled, sugar-filled smile and ran away silently.

The contrast is too obvious, he will never celebrate with this guy again!never!

Raphael didn't care about the little curly hair, the game resumed soon, and the cooperation of the main team was getting better.

As a member of the team, reading the game with his own eyes, Rafael has to praise Riquelme as a genius.

His vision, dribbling and passing are top-notch. He is not an imaginative player like Jaminha, but Riquelme's greatest magic lies in his brain!

His style of play is very slow, of course we can also call it graceful.Because he can always control the ball at his feet, slowly think about the passing route, and then control the game through passing, running, receiving and distributing the ball, running, and catching the ball. .

In less than half the game, Rafael understood this guy-Riquelme is the kind of player who is immersed in his own world.

Raphael has no intention of comparing himself with Riquelme.

Because it is also controlling the rhythm, Raphael can actually feel the difference between Riquelme and him.This difference is not in the level of realm, not in beauty, but in character.

Riquelme played football, playing his own football.Raphael can admire, but never imitate.

Now Riquelme has entered the rhythm, and the substitute team did not cause him any trouble, so this training session quickly lost its meaning-this is a one-sided goal show, 30 minutes, pull Phil scored 3 goals himself, and Romeo also scored 1 goal.

Pekerman yelled to stop the game.

Raphael scored easily and it was a waste of time if the game continued like this.But he did not terminate the game, but switched the defenses on both sides, allowing the two teams to practice how to break through the dense defense directly in half the court.

He wants to make Argentina's offense even sharper, looking down on everyone!

After a few days of training, on June 6, Rafael and the whole team flew to Kangar, the capital of the northernmost region of Malaysia.When they got off the plane, they were surrounded by flashing lights from Asian media.

At first everyone thought that the media was coming for the team, but these big boys soon discovered that the media was indeed coming for them, not for everyone, but for Raphael!

"so many people……"

"That's Raphael's poster? Are the square characters on it in Chinese?"

"should be?"

"There is still a show of love in Spanish, but it's a pity that kid doesn't appreciate it..."

While discussing, everyone looked at Raphael, who had no expression, as if he lacked expression. It was difficult to understand his indifference.He didn't even take the initiative to greet the fans!

If they have such good looks and such popularity...

Boys have a hard time controlling themselves from envy, jealousy and hatred!

Because there are too many media, coupled with the group of female fans who are obviously Asian but speak different languages, Pekerman has a big head.

In order to get out of the customs smoothly, let the whole team take 20 minutes to sign autographs for the fans, and let Rafael go for an interview.

If Rafael had acted as eager as the other boys in front of the media, Pekerman would not have done so.

But Pekerman was hardly satisfied with Rafael's indifferent attitude towards the media.He hopes that Rafael will focus more on football, but it is not a smart choice to focus too much on football and ignore the outside world, not to speak out, and to let the media criticize him, or sketch at will, or even fabricate it wantonly.

Pei Shuai felt that he had to talk to Rafael about this, but obviously not at this moment.

After Raphael approached, the Asian reporters tacitly surrounded him layer by layer as if they were afraid that he would escape, and scrambled to point their microphones at him.Even if Raphael hadn't avoided it quickly enough, the microphone in the hand of one of the reporters would have hit him in the face.

Rafael frowned, took a microphone by himself, and said to them in English: "Please be quiet, I will answer your questions before the assembly, we have a long time, don't be crowded."

Hearing what Raphael said, the reporters were still scrambling to throw the question over, lest their voice be lower than others——

"What do you think of Depor's 1-2 victory over Real Valladolid yesterday, winning the championship 0 rounds ahead of schedule?"

"Raphael, do you have a girlfriend? What's your ideal girlfriend like?"

"I did not participate in the America's Cup but participated in the World Youth Championship, and it is very likely to miss the World Cup. Do you regret it?"

Raphael frowned from the noise, he stretched out his hands and made a pause gesture, then glanced at the many microphones in front of him, randomly picked one from it, raised it up and said, "I'm only answering the questions from this media now. question."

Immediately, a reporter excitedly took the initiative to claim it, "Raphael, you who got the European Golden Boot and La Liga Golden Boot in advance, do you intend to compete for the World Youth Championship Golden Boot?"

"I am an athlete, and I will strive for all the honors I can. But I am more eager to win the World Youth Championship trophy with my teammates than my personal gains and losses."

After Raphael finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the reporter, and chose another one from the other microphones, this time it was a Chinese reporter.

The CCTV reporter immediately asked: "Which team do you think Argentina's biggest competitor is? Brazil, England, or France?"

Raphael thought it necessary to answer this question, which was like asking him "Which of these three piles of shit is more stinky?"

"Whether it's Brazil, England, France or whatever, as long as we keep winning we have a chance to play against each other, so for me it doesn't make any sense."

Under countless flashing lights, Raphael's tone was flat, and his eyes were full of confidence—perhaps conceited.

He said that only because he thought so.He doesn't care who they are playing against in every game, because no matter which team it is, he will go all out and do everything he can to win the championship.

And the championship belongs to Argentina, doesn't it?
