ball magic

Raphael had his own expectations for the holiday, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.

Aimar had plans for the holiday -

"Havel said that Tokyo can buy a lot of games, there are a lot of the latest electronic products, as long as we don't bring you, we are safe..."

Raphael is angry!

What is "We're safe without you"?

Do you think your popularity in Asia is low?

And you're going with that little guy Saviola, that's double the chances of being recognized!

Even though he said so and acted so angry, Aimar said this——

"Even if Javier and I have such a little bit of popularity in Japan, we are definitely not as good as you. Javier said that you alone are worth the entire Inter Milan team and the entire Argentina team. And you are too tall, even if you It's too obvious to wear sunglasses and a hat as camouflage, we don't want to come back in a police car."

Raphael was speechless, because it was a fact that he was sent back by the police car, and it was also a fact that his height was more conspicuous.

With so many facts superimposed, he has no way to refute.

But since he can't be reasonable, he doesn't want to be reasonable either!

Anyway, he's going, he's going.

But Aimar thinks he is cheating?

Clearly playing hooliganism, he actually pressed him on the bed and threatened that he would not be allowed to get up unless he was allowed to go.

During the stalemate, Saviola slammed the door.

At this point, Aimar has suffered a complete defeat, and can only agree to take him with him.

In order not to let the excursion go away with excitement, and to return in a disappointment (mainly because he didn’t want to be sent back by the police car), Raphael fiddled with his hair early the next morning, trying to hide it all.

After discovering that the hat was not enough to hide his hair, he complained: "It shouldn't be so long, it's troublesome and hot as hell..."

His intentions were too obvious. Aimar also knew that the weather in Tokyo was very hot. Given Raphael's hair length and laziness in grooming, it was best for him to cut it off.

But he still said: "Be patient for a few more days, except for the locker room, I can help you blow it up at other times."

In fact he's been doing it these days.

Raphael had already given up his hat, and while rummaging through the outfit that Byron sent this morning, he asked curiously, "Why do you have to persist until after the World Cup? You just like me with long hair?"

Speaking of which, he had found a gaudy, Byron-esque hood.

Aimar first smiled when he saw the turban, because he couldn't imagine the effect of Raphael wearing it, but answered his question anyway.

"I really like it, but you are also very handsome with short hair. I just want you to stay until the end of the World Cup. There is not much left."

It has been less than half a month since the end of the World Cup.

World Cup over?

This made Rafael immediately think of Passarella, and made him joke: "I thought you still liked Passarella very much, after all, he treats you well."

"He was really good to me," Aimar said. "Without him, I might be a doctor now, and a dentist. But as a matter of fact, I think he is wrong. I also hope that the fans know that the player's hair How long is it, whether you wear a baseball cap or not, whether you have ear studs, it has nothing to do with football."

"That's it?" Raphael suddenly approached, "I'm waiting for the most important sentence."

Aimar blocked his approaching face and urged: "Go and make trouble, or Javier will be waiting for us. It was hard for me to get him to agree to play with us."

Raphael smiled and said, "Honey, did you slip up? Also, finish that sentence."

He had known for a long time that this little curly hair was cheating at both ends, cheating him and Saviola at the same time, the purpose was to promote the relationship between the two of them, it can be said that it was well-intentioned.

Unfortunately, he didn't appreciate it.

And, that little man probably didn't want to be the light bulb in his heart.

But they just can't do anything about him.

Aimar pushed his head away with a backhand, urging: "Hurry up, or I won't take you."

Since he refused, Raphael had no choice but to go back to the mirror and try to put the turban on his head.

Wearing a floral turban is a much simpler process than hiding your hair in a hat.

Aimar saw that he put it on easily, and only adjusted it a few times. With that oversized T-shirt and extremely loose slacks, it has a bit of a rock style and a bit of a rapper's demeanor.

When he put on the pair of black pants that can cover half of his face, Aimar suppressed a smile, clapped his hands and praised: "This time is great, you will definitely not be recognized, I think Javier will also be scared Jump."

Raphael twitched the corner of his mouth, and turned over old accounts again, telling him to say the last sentence quickly.

Aimar swore to die, which made them fight for a while.

When Saviola was standing in front of the door, he heard a faint movement behind the door panel. For this reason, he deliberately stepped back two steps before duang~duang knocking on the door.

He thought it would take some time for the two guys to open the door, but when Raphael opened the door, he was greatly frightened.

What the hell!

Who is this?

Aimar, who was hiding behind Rafael, held up the dv in his hand and laughed loudly.

Since Saviola didn't even recognize it, they will definitely succeed today!

Facts have proved that he is still too optimistic.

At first they were not recognized by the fans, but not long after they came to the restaurant, they saw reporters taking pictures outside the window.

Fortunately, the reporter was also very measured and withdrew after filming, which did not affect their meal.

In the afternoon, Rafael received ridicule from sand sculpture friends one after another.

In addition to him, Saviola also received a bunch, but after reading a few, he turned off the phone directly.

Because all those guys were asking him the same question—

[The two of them are shopping, what are you mixing with? ]

Saviola said in his heart: Do you think I am happy?I was also forced to be helpless!

It was also these text messages that made him discover——

Although he positions himself as a "light bulb", most of the time today, he and Aimar are choosing and buying, but Rafael's sense of existence is very thin.

Even so, the guy didn't make any complaints, let alone do anything that made him feel awkward and unwanted intimacy.

This made Saviola scratch his head, because he just had a weird idea——

From a girl's point of view, a boyfriend like Raphael who is super handsome, super rich, and willing to obediently go shopping with him is considered the best, right?

Publido's eyes...doesn't seem too bad?

Tokyo is so hot!

This is the unified thought of the England internationals who have finished training.

Of course, this is the beautified version.

After Owen greeted the big sun above his head kindly, he took a bottle of mineral water from the assistant coach and poured it directly on his head.

After the bottle of water was finished, he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a sports drink to rehydrate.

It was at this time that Ferdinand came to him, then stuck in his position, and handed him a thing.

Owen saw it, oh, it's actually a mobile phone!

No wonder this guy is sneaky!

Ferdinand quickly said: "I just forgot to take it out, and now the training is over, it's over!"

Owen said in his heart, since the training is over, what are you hiding?You can openly let the old man take a look and see if the old man will call you a bad boy in public.

But when he saw what Ferdinand wanted him to see, he first widened his eyes and then looked at Ferdinand.

Ferdinand nodded at him and motioned: "Don't stare, what you saw is true, this is really that kid."

Ferdinand regretted it in the next second!

Because Owen was laughing, laughing maniacally!

Now it's all right, not to mention the teaching assistant who was nearby, the old Robson who was chatting with Beckham on the other side also looked over, and then walked over.

Ferdinand: "..."

He hasn't been criticized by the old Robson yet, but who wants such a respected coach who is unlucky to come to put out the fire to criticize himself?

On the contrary, Ferdinand was afraid of this incident, which would affect his image in his heart——

Don't ask him why, old Robson is the best coach in England.

He is now fortunate to be his disciple, and he has been able to cooperate for such a short time, of course he doesn't want to be labeled a bad boy by him.

After the old Robson came over, he touched Owen's wet head, but his eyes were on Ferdinand.

"Leo, what are you talking about? I want to be happy with you too."

This sentence made Ferdinand's eyes light up. If Owen can succeed in this way, maybe this old man will too!

After all, this is Raphael's black material!

When he handed the mobile phone to old Robson as if offering a treasure, old Robson laughed after looking at it for a few seconds, but this laughter was enough to be described as "hearty and heroic"...ノ亅、讠斗

Because of the image of Raphael, hahahaha...

After the old Robson held back his smile, he said to them: "Rafa is very popular in Japan. During the Club World Cup in the 99/00 season, everyone else went to buy New Year gifts for relatives and friends, and he followed suit. , but was recognized by the fans, causing congestion, and finally went back in a police car.

I'm glad he learned to disguise, but this disguise is so successful, it's so successful that it's funny..."

Laughing, but the old Robson knew very well that the reason why Raphael fought so hard was that he still wanted to accompany Aimar.

Hearing old Robson talking about Raphael, Ferdinand was somewhat jealous.

But jealousy is jealousy, and he hasn't forgotten to praise: "You are also very popular in Japan. When we went to Osaka for the game, so many fans shouted your name."

This made the old Robson laugh unbearably smugly.

After all, he didn't come to Japan too often.

Owen: →_→

Another duplicity guy.

Vacations are short.

When the holiday is over, the Argentine internationals ushered in training again.

When the fitness coach led the players to warm up, Keely was unfortunately injured and had to be out for at least 10 days.

That is to say, the quarter-finals and semi-finals, Keely is destined to miss.

On the day when Raphael shocked fans all over the world with his "extraordinary costume", two major events happened in football.

The first is the results of the two quarter-finals—

Brazil beat Belgium 2-0 and the United States beat Mexico 2-0.

After Brazil and the United States advanced, the top 8 has already decided 6 teams.

Another incident shocked the entire football world, even FIFA!

Things have to start from the Internet. At 6 pm Milan time on June 17, the "Sun" announced a big news——

The Ecuadorian referee Moreno, who is about to officiate the match between Italy and South Korea, was suspected of accepting bribes. They received multiple audio messages from insiders who also provided two bank accounts in Moreno's name!

The "Sun" also uploaded all of these to its official website.

As soon as the news came out, Italian fans exploded and asked FIFA to intervene in the investigation.

There will be a match tomorrow, and it was revealed the day before that the referee had accepted bribes. One can imagine the impact on FIFA, and even affected the credibility of this World Cup!

This forced FIFA to immediately announce that the disciplinary committee would intervene and let the police intervene in the investigation...

But the Italian fans are not satisfied with the result of such handling.

Tomorrow is the game, and you guys made black calls. If you don't change the referee, are you waiting for him to put on shoes for us?

At this time, the Italian Football Association also asked to replace the referee, and the Korean Football Association had to passively hold a press conference to clarify that they did not bribe the referee.

But as soon as the Korean press conference was over, the Japanese stabbed them in the back.

In fact, backstabbing is out of the question.

Because in the eyes of the Japanese, the right to host this World Cup originally belongs to Japan. If the Koreans were not in the way, how could they hold it together with South Korea?

As a result, it didn't matter if the opening ceremony was held in South Korea, and there were almost no Japanese elements in the opening ceremony.

And it's not just South Korea that will play tomorrow, Japan will also play against Turkey.

Now there is a black whistle scandal in South Korea, but they say they are innocent and innocent, do people still believe it?

Doesn't this affect their image of Japan?

The Japanese mermaid didn't eat it, but caused a commotion. In addition, this World Cup was not happy, which led them to quickly hold a press conference after the Korean Football Association held a press conference.

Originally, the media thought that they were going to be in the same spirit as South Korea, or to separate themselves, but the media did not expect that the Japanese way of clearing themselves is so unique——

After the press conference began, the Japanese Football Association first clarified that it had done nothing bad.

In order to prove themselves, they said that they have reached an agreement with Turkey and hope that FIFA can replace tomorrow's referee. They are not afraid of substitutions!

As soon as such a statement came out, the image of the Japanese suddenly became taller than that of the Koreans.

Look, as the host, Japan obviously didn't do anything, and still needs to avoid suspicion.

What do you Koreans do?

It wasn't until Rafael and the others started training the next day that they heard that FIFA had temporarily changed the referee team for today's two games in order to quell the controversy.

When Raphael heard the news, he was also relieved.

The World Cup is not without black whistle, nor is it without shady scenes.

For example, in the 1998 World Cup final in France, Ronaldo suddenly fell ill before the game. During the game, the whole audience wandered. In the end, France defeated Brazil 3-0.

Because of the many doubts in the off-court link, the Brazilian players had different opinions, and France exempted Brazil's US$3 million in national debt a year later, which led to controversy in this game.

But controversy is controversy because there is no stone hammer.

In the match between South Korea and Italy, the South Koreans indeed bribed the referee Moreno and took away Italy's chance to advance in an extremely ugly way.

Raphael has played in Italy for so many years, and the Italian team has a bunch of his friends. Will he watch them not only shed tears, but even blood on the stadium?

He can't.

So after getting the silicon-based people to obtain the evidence, Rafael asked the silicon-based people to break the news to the "Sun" the day before the game.

The reason for this special emphasis is that a "tabloid" like "The Sun" has no integrity in the face of this kind of sales and popularity.

As long as they have interests, they can even eavesdrop on the royal family and dare to break the news, let alone the FIFA scandal?

The "Sun" did not live up to his expectations and produced a burst effect.

Because the effect was too explosive, after returning to the base and hearing about this incident, Aimar also told him to send text messages to encourage bobo and the others.

Raphael naturally obeyed obediently, and Bobo also teased him: "What kind and considerate little angel is this? Just wait for me to hug you in the final."

Rafael felt hehe in his heart, but he felt that Bobo's embarrassment was not unreasonable.

If Italy advances, they will be grouped with Spain, Germany and the United States.

Spain is now the king of the qualifiers, and the big draw is weak. Although the United States has eliminated Italy, it is the weakest persimmon in the quarterfinals. The opponent is Germany, and it is difficult to go further.

And what about Germany?

Italy's dictatorship over Germany refuses to accept it!

Since bobo is so bragging on loan, of course Rafael has to pay attention to their games.

Bielsa also attaches great importance to today's two games, because the winners of Turkey and Japan will be their opponents in the next game.

So with a word from the coach, everyone turned watching the game into a team building activity.

Today's first game is Türkiye vs Japan.

Argentina played two African teams in this World Cup, while Turkey met two Asian teams, China and Japan.

Although Japan and Turkey played back and forth, in the end Turkey was superior, eliminated the host Japan 1-0, and advanced to the top 8.

The Turkish goalkeeper also left a deep impression on Rafael.

Let's put it this way, Turkey can easily eliminate the host, and the goalkeeper accounts for [-]%.

As for the game between South Korea and Italy, the black whistle incident before the game attracted the attention of more neutral fans.

Although the referee had changed, the Koreans still played an extremely ugly game that could be called full martial arts under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of fans.

Of course, the Italians will not be beaten passively. This also led to the chief referee from Sweden issuing a total of 9 yellow and 2 red cards, a total of 11 cards, and managed to control the situation.

In the end, Italy paid the price of 4 yellow cards and Gattuso's red card, eliminated South Korea with a score of 2 to 1, and successfully advanced!

After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Maldini, who still had blood on his face, took the initiative to run to the stands of Korean fans and roared. This scene is destined to be recorded in the history of the World Cup forever!
