The author has something to say:

Fanwai·Rafa's final【3】

June 2002, 6 was the day of the World Cup finals.

Ever since the England national team was eliminated, the old Robson has been looking forward to this game, and now it has finally come, he will naturally dress up to welcome his lover's good day.But please don't get me wrong, the disciple he is talking about is not just Rafa, there is also Juan in Spain, and Juan is also his disciple.

So the British media teased him, and they were right. He was already in a position to lose tonight.

Whoever gets to the top is one of the big winners tonight.

So does our Lord Robson have a position?

Of course there are.

But he doesn't want to do multiple choice questions.

After the old man tidied up, he was very satisfied with his image, so he went downstairs to the lobby and picked up a few English newspapers in the rest area.

It is worth mentioning that these newspapers all printed a handsome photo of one of his disciples, which made the old man smile.

After he sat down on the sofa and read the headlines of several newspapers, he found that the media were unanimously advocating Argentina, as if they had won the trophy ahead of time.

Old Robson also thinks that Argentina has a better chance of winning, but it's hard to say until the last step in a game like this.

He wished Rafa well, but that also meant Juan would be sad.

Fortunately, they are very young, this is their first World Cup, and they have already reached the final.

Just when the old man was thinking deeply, he heard a sweet "Bobby".

The old man immediately looked in the direction of the elevator.

Like him, everyone was dressed in fancy dress. If it was normal, the old man would have complimented Veronica in a gentlemanly manner.

But now?

He opened his mouth wide in surprise.

This... what's going on here?Why did Duck appear in Louis' hands?Isn't this nonsense?

Seeing the old Robson's eyes, Hughes explained helplessly: "Rafa said that there are too many people on the court, and it is not good to put Duck alone in the locker room. Let us put it in the box. He also said that Louis used to I also took it to watch, and didn’t put it in the locker room much.”

Old Robson: "..."

This is indeed something Rafa can do, even—

"Does he not want to take Duck to the field?"

Facing his question, everyone nodded in unison.

Now the old gentleman is helpless, this is what Raphael will do!

Even if this is the final of the World Cup, Ming Yang cares about the gold cup, on the matter of arrogance——

Rafa is always arrogant!

Old Robson thought so, and said so, and such sharp complaints made everyone laugh.

Only Louis was not happy, he pouted and said, "Rafa is awesome, he is not arrogant!"

But the old man only cares about one thing——

"Who called Rafa arrogant in front of you?"

Louis:

you!you!It's you!

This kid has grown up and can already protect his uncle!

The old Robson was so emotional, but it was easy to coax him, "Louis, our little Louis, let's send 'Luck' to Rafa?"

With just one sentence, Louis changed from pouting to nodding vigorously!

He's going to the stadium, he's going to bring luck to Rafa!

When the old Robson arrived at the stadium in the vehicle prepared by the hotel, the blue and white painted player bus also drove into the stadium with the screams and blessings of the fans.

The media who had been waiting for a long time in the special channel became excited after seeing it. When the bus was stable and the chubby Maradona appeared in front of everyone, their mood became even more excited!

Look, Maradona is Maradona, even if he retires, he still has amazing influence on this Argentina team and even this country!

When the media were so emotional, Lao Ma also shouted the slogan "Go! Argentina!" to them!

If the old Robson were here, he would definitely comment like this——

In the matter of high-profile, Maradona will always be high-profile.

After murdering countless films, Lao Ma took the lead into the passage with satisfaction, and after a few seconds, it was Bielsa and other members of the coaching staff who came out.

Even surrounded by his colleagues, the Argentine coach won a lot of shots for being too arrogant in the pre-match press conference.

Before all the members of the coaching staff got out of the car, a reporter rushed to the car door and called out Raphael's name!

They are waiting here, of course not to shoot the retired old horse, nor Bielsa who declared at the pre-match press conference "I can't think of a reason why Argentina lost to Spain", but Rafael!

It was Rafael who didn't participate in the pre-match press conference at all, which made them feel regretful!

Amidst their eager cheers, Raphael finally appeared in their camera.

But the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

Today is the final, it is the final, but on such a day, Raphael actually wears a black super, still cold!

Seeing that he walked directly to the player tunnel after getting off the car, the reporters immediately called out his name.

A reporter even suppressed his peers, shouting: "Rafa! Today is the final, do you have anything to say to the fans?"

The reporter didn't report confidence at all, but who knew that such a sentence actually made Rafael stop.

There is a play!

Not only the reporters were excited, but other cameramen were frantically clicking the shutters. Barty even felt that the flashes hit Raphael like Iguazu Falls.

The raging lights did not affect Raphael who was wearing sunglasses, instead he raised the corners of his mouth and said loudly: "I told them——

Victory belongs to Argentina!

The honor belongs to Argentina!

Football is Argentina! "

After speaking, Rafael had already followed the coaching staff, but the remaining reporters were hilarious, and Batty followed suit.

Although he was called the "God of War" by the fans, his arrogance was used in every celebration.

Where is Rafa?

The celebration on the court is always the same.

But off the court, in front of the camera, his words are enough to shake the world.

And this sentence "Football is Argentina" belongs to the earth-shattering in the earth-shattering!

Even though it was not the first time hearing him say it, Batty still felt that he was so handsome!

He can even understand why Aimar kissed him for 6000 minutes in front of more than 7 million fans!

No, no, this idea is wrong, Batty quickly slipped away before anyone paid attention to him.

But what Batty did not expect was that there are not only media from 232 countries around the world, but also seats arranged in advance!

His complicated little expression and the process of sneaking away while the reporter was not paying attention all entered the fans' field of vision.

Batty, who entered the special passage, caught up with Raphael and patted him on the shoulder after just a few steps.

Rafael glanced at him, and Batty complained: "It's fine to wear sunglasses at night, this is the player channel."

This complaint was very sharp, and Raphael took off his sunglasses in a face-saving manner, but gave him a big "fart, let go" look.

But this guy just looked at his shoulder happily and walked forward, and didn't want to say anything to him at all.

Raphael: "..."

Each of these old men is harder to understand than the other.

But when they came to the locker room and came to their respective wardrobes, the old man standing in front of No. 9 cabinet let out a giggle.

Raphael glanced at him, then looked at the No. 10 jersey and captain's armband neatly placed in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth.

In the World Cup final, wearing the No. 10 jersey and playing as the captain is the honor of his life.

not enough!

He wants more!

When Aimar and Saviola walked into the locker room together, they saw that No. 10's smile was so dazzling.

The players are making final preparations for the game, and the commentator is also exaggerating the atmosphere of the game as much as possible.

Mr. Huang, who is on site, is doing such work.

Audience friends, there are only 2002 minutes left until the final of the 45 Korea-Japan World Cup. The buses from Argentina and Spain have already arrived at the stadium, and the players will soon go out to warm up.

Everyone knows that Spain used to be the suzerain of Argentina. They speak the same language and have the same beliefs.

This also makes Argentine players generally give priority to La Liga when landing in the five major leagues, followed by Serie A.

In the Argentine team, Rafael, Simeone, Redondo, Aimar, Claudio Lopez, Ayala and other stars either played for La Liga teams, or had played in La Liga, so they and Spain The team should all be familiar with each other.

But in the World Cup, they are familiar strangers——

There is only one match between the two teams in the World Cup, and that was in the 1966 World Cup in England. Argentina and Spain met in the group stage. At that time, Argentina 2-1 Spain... "

The fans were not interested in such rotten sesame seeds at all. When they were overwhelmed, they found Louis appeared in the camera.

But the point is obviously not Louis, but the pet box in Louis's arms.

Fans don't like to listen to data, and Teacher Huang actually doesn't want to read such boring things. Now that he sees such a big melon, of course he immediately shared the melon he just discovered with the fans.

He first talked about Rafael's pre-match declaration with the fans, and then said that the reporters squatting in the special passage did not see "Luck" until the end. How happy the Spanish fans were when they found out.

But now?

"The Yokohama International Stadium can accommodate more than 7 spectators. For safety reasons, only 6 lucky people entered the stadium today.

Probably because the price of final tickets is too expensive, the number of Spanish fans has an advantage, followed by neutral fans, and then Argentine fans.

But we could see the Spanish fans visibly upset when Luis and 'Luck' appeared, while the Argentinian fans shouted 'Luck'.

—The country is crazy about ducks, and the whole country is crazy about ducks, such an interesting scene, I believe, can only be seen in the World Cup..."

When Mr. Huang said this cheerfully, he realized that he had been slapped in the face!

Because the Spanish players entered the field, and the Spanish fans cheered up!

"Hahaha, the Spanish internationals are indeed wearing jerseys with the footprints of Kele Duck on the field! I heard that they also made a foot model for 'Luck', what is it called?

If I can't get the body of a duck, do I still want to get the seal of a duck? "

Mr. Huang couldn't be happier when he said this, but the Spanish internationals who entered the field all held their heads up and looked full of confidence. As for the words "thief" and "duck thief" in the mouth of Argentine fans, they simply don't care.

After all if they did steal the duck, the duck would be in the dressing room in Spain, not the audience!

Uh, it doesn't seem very accurate to say that everyone raises their heads and chests up, because at the moment, there is also a slouching alien among the Spanish internationals.

The director obviously noticed this, and was happy to give him the camera.

"Now appearing in the camera is Juan Fernandez, who is only 23 years old. He played for Inter Milan. He has overcome difficulties with Inter Milan in the past few seasons. He has already won countless honors at a young age.

Also because he played for Inter Milan, he has a very good personal relationship with Argentina's "Inter Milan Barbecue Gang", and his relationship with Rafael can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart.

Juan also has many interesting nicknames in football, the most famous being 'Decoder'.

It is said that the original origin of this nickname is that everyone thinks that only through Juan can they know Raphael's thoughts.

But as he matured and became more important to the team, fans began to use this nickname to praise his outstanding overall view...

There are many kinds of data, fans love this one the most, but fans who know a little about Juan will know how much Mr. Huang avoids the important.

What kind of codec are you talking about? If you have the ability, you can interpret Juan's other nicknames!

While Mr. Huang was chattering, the fans found that Juan seemed to have sorted out his mood. Although he was just following the physical coach to warm up, he was also very focused, and every movement was so standard.

In addition to Juan, Teacher Huang feels that he can still chat with the fans about Casillas.

This is the goalkeeper who was sanctified by Spanish fans at the age of 21!

In Mr. Huang's view, Spain's success today is not due to Raul, Mendieta, or the coach Camacho, but Cassie and good luck!

But Mr. Huang wanted to brag, but the director didn’t give him this chance, because the Argentine team entered the stadium, but their entrance ceremony was so different——

Raphael's blond hair was fluttering, and his blue and white striped shirt was shining. He rushed into the stadium like flying, and also broke into the sight of the fans.

This scene is so beautiful that the eyes of the fans are glued to his figure.

But he had locked on to the target and went straight to the target.

Juan, who had already started touching the ball, also rushed straight at this moment, but his reaction was still too slow, so slow that he was overtaken by the 32-year-old captain!

This made Juan work hard to speed up, and when Raphael embraced the old captain in his arms, he also successfully joined their embrace.

Teacher An knows that he should introduce this player who contains the essence of many stars to the fans——

"Friends of the audience, it is Spanish left forward Francisco Javier Gonzalez Perez who is hugged by Rafael at this moment.

Because his name is so long, we usually shorten him to Fran.

Deportivo's captain and Rafa's old captain, Fran. "

Fanwai·Rafa's final【4】

When the picture of Rafael, Juan and Fran embracing spread to thousands of households, not only the fans were moved, but even Toshack, who was in Milan and started preparing for the new season, silently applauded them .

This scene was like a time train, sending him to the past.

It was the 1996/97 season, he took over a team that dreamed of winning the league title, and the club chairman was so stingy that he didn't even buy him a decent striker.

Lao Tuo still remembered how angry and helpless he was at that time.

But at that moment, an incredibly handsome kid from the youth team, who in his opinion should step up to the stage and become a male model, approached him and asked him for a job.

He had heard of the child's name long ago, so of course he kept him without hesitation.

After all, Jing is just one more young player training with the first team. What loss does he have?

On the day the kid joined the team, Fran found him.

The Deportivo captain told him solemnly how well this kid performed in the youth team, and that he was the future of Laco.

future?

Toshack, who has coached a giant like Real Madrid, smiled.

Because at that time, the Spanish media said the most-

“Raul Gonzalez, the future of Spain!”

Raul, Real Madrid youth training.

Where is Rafa?

He just did well in the Depor youth team.

But he was quickly slapped in the face.

In just one team match, Rafa won the respect of all Brazilians and his heart with goals, skills and fancy dribbles.

Fran is right!

Rafa is a genius!

It's not being boasted casually by the media, but the kind whose talent pool is so full that it's about to overflow!

After that, it was the first warm-up match.

It was such a warm-up match that made him boldly include Rafa's name in the starting list——

Squad against Real Madrid.

After that, Raphael started the road to fame.

But for Toshack, that was also his path to revenge.

In that season, he led Depor, and finally beat Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​won the league and the Copa del Rey, and his team was the double crown!

At that time, who would have thought that after 5 years, he and Jaminha would reunite with Rafa in Serie A?

Who would have thought that six years later, Fran, Juan and Rafa would stand together on the stage of the World Cup final?

At this moment, Toshack felt so much emotion and so much satisfaction.

Look how good they are and how lucky he is to have so many players he coached...

Lao Tuo was full of thoughts, but Raphael on the field had been blackmailed by the old captain——

"Remember, defend your jersey, it belongs to my son!"

Rafa gave him a blank stare, but did not refute.

Because it is different from before, this guy really has a son now.

Few knew him better than Fran.

No rejection is consent.

This made Fran couldn't help rubbing his head a few more times, of course, in a cautious way, he didn't want to ruin this guy's hairstyle.

After all, this cub is cool and handsome. He wanted to show it off to the world when he was 16 years old, and now this day has finally come.

Raphael also endured for a few seconds before he slapped the guy away, looked at Juan, and finally warned: "Don't be nervous, this won't be the first time you stand on the stage of the World Cup final." Fran :=mouth=

Juan: QAQ

They can't be blamed for being so excited. After all, Rafa used this loan to brag for Spain in order to make them not nervous.

Once again standing on the World Cup field...

To be honest, they are not narcissistic enough, and they are not that confident in Spain.

So much so that Fran couldn't help but think—

Is Rafa going to lend us Duck in the next World Cup?

Hey, how many years can a duck live?

Fran thought a lot, but after Raphael gave Juan another hug, he had already caught up with the main force without hesitation.

Before the fitness coach led them to warm up, Rafael looked at everyone: "Warm up carefully, after all, this is the final, I don't think anyone wants to leave because of insufficient warm-up, right?"

Who would say that to their teammates before a game?

This is so fucking unlucky!

They need a hero who stands up and rants about this guy for them!

But what about reality?

Neither the boss who was over [-] years old nor Aimar responded to their gaze. Instead, someone's gaze was as sharp as a cold blade.

Everyone dared not speak out, they could only warm up carefully under his gaze, lest they become the unlucky ghost in his mouth.

At the same time, Maradona in the stands was also shaking his head, regretting: "Rafa, he is still too young."

This is the final, and his warm-up moves are so simple, how can he become the king of the ball in the future?

Alas, really too young.

Of course, Lao Ma didn't admit that he was a little proud of himself.

The first to end the warm-up is of course the Spanish team that warmed up earlier.

When the warm-up was over and he was about to return to the player tunnel, Hierro was disappointed to find that the fans didn't even bother to cheer them on—

They were busy sparring with the Argentine fans for [-] rounds.

This is about to talk about the grievances and grievances between the Spaniards and the Argentines.

In fact, it is not enough to talk about grievances. After all, the two teams have only met once in the World Cup, and that was still in the distant Cold War period.

If it's not a grievance, what is it?

It's contempt!

The Spaniards look down on the Argentines, or it can be said that they look down on all the colonial peoples.

This was the case as early as the colonial period, and now they feel that these Argentines, Colombians, Uruguayans... are a bunch of stinky beggars, and they came to Spain to compete with them for job opportunities.

And what about the Argentines?

Hehe, they think the Spaniards are stupid, very stupid, lazy and stupid.

Normally the two teams would never meet at all, but now they bumped into each other and spoke the same language. Everyone could imagine how exciting their pre-match scolding battle was, so much so that they didn't bother to encourage their own players.

Of course, in the eyes of fans who don't understand Spanish, the pre-match atmosphere is still very good——

The Argentine fans were tearing up the paper and singing songs, while the Spanish fans were holding red cards to respond. What a beautiful scene!

In such a wonderful atmosphere, it was suddenly interrupted by an arrow that left the string.

Listen, that's the exclamation of the fans behind the goal!

When other fans looked in the direction of that goal, they could only see the backs of Caballero and Rafael.

Although I didn't see what happened clearly, this scene has already made the Argentine fans look forward to it!

At the same time, the old Robson in the stands rubbed Louis' curly hair.

"Rafa looks like he can't wait."

Even a little too excited.

I took a rest for a period of time because of stomach problems, and tried to finish writing the finals in one breath.

Before Chapter 732, Zai Zai Fan Wai was updated, and then Zai Zai Fan Wai was put in that chapter. If you see the update, you can look at the catalog and you will find that it is 732, or this chapter.

Thank you all for your patience.

Extra episode 4

The first time Irving heard of the nickname "Big Young Master" was after Raphael was promoted to the first team by Ferguson.

This nickname came to his ears together with "Ferguson's godson" and "Bruce's son".

This let Owen know that the arrogant ghost was doing well in the Manchester United dressing room, so good that he could only give him a few nicknames with envy and jealousy.

But Carragher quickly told him: "Gary Neville called him 'Master' not because he is Ferguson's godson, nor because he is Bruce's own son, but because his family is super rich!"

Seeing his shocked face, Carragher emphasized: "Don't you know? It is said that Ferguson was shocked when he went to his house. He changed several luxury cars during his time, the key is that his family just bought a big mansion in Cheshire."

Owen nodded, expressing his shock.

He didn't tell Friend 1 that Raphael's house in Cheshire is really big, because I just went there and we went on vacation together in the summer.

It is not a problem for Owen to have money in the arrogant family, because his father is a famous player, and he has never been short of money since he was a child, not to mention that he has been able to earn money for the family since he was a child.

Money won't get in the way of their friendship, but that guy's nasty personality will!

Owen was indignant at the thought of this.

From childhood to adulthood, other people wanted to get close to him and become friends with him, but no one was as difficult as Raphael!

However, although he scolded Raphael in his heart for being difficult, after the training, Owen still came to Raphael's home in Cheshire——

The kind that drives itself.

After all, he is not like some guys who want to drive a motorcycle. After he was able to take the driver's license test, he got the driver's license immediately!

It was Raphael's butler who opened the door for him, and it was Raphael's brother who warmly entertained him.

Although this is not the first time he has dealt with Javier, every time he sees him, he wants to say——

emmmmm, the gap between these two brothers is really too big.

Considering that he and Javier are somewhat familiar, Owen tried to get some words from him.

"Is Rafa back yet?"

"Today is Wednesday, it is said that there is some FA Cup today."

Owen was shocked: "He actually entered the big list?"

Javier scratched his head and said, "It seems so, I don't pay much attention to this."

Owen: "..."

His dad and two older brothers pay special attention to his game.

Perhaps seeing his expression, Javier shrugged and said: "It's not that I don't pay attention to him, it's that he has played a lot of games since he was a child. Oh, you are also a genius, I guess your brother is used to you being so good. And I'm on the same side as them, and I can only watch you shine."

Owen never thought about how his two older brothers viewed him, and he never thought about it before, so Javier's words triggered his thinking.

Javier has been wandering the streets since he was a child, and his skills of observing words and expressions are full. He realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly made amends: "If Rafa told me that he would play today, I would definitely watch it. I love him very much. You My brother must love you very much, too."

Owen nodded, of course he believed that Andrew and Terry loved him very much.

After that, Javier stuffed him with a cup of black tea and a bunch of delicious snacks, and looked at him with shining eyes.

Owen guessed: "Did you do this?"

Then he saw Javier pointing at his nose and saying: "Although I am not as good-looking as my brother, I think I may be better than him in cooking."

The taste of the biscuits is really good, Owen tentatively asked: "Do you want to develop in this direction in the future?"

As a result, I was almost pissed off...

Because Javier said in an incomparable way: "Yes, I plan to go to Italy and France to learn culinary skills, and Spain is also fine. After I finish my studies, I will open a restaurant in the UK. After all, the food in the UK is so easy to earn!" Μ .三彡ㄚQxS.CǒM

Well, Owen decided to change the subject, like—

"Does Raphael have any preferences? I mean, I bought him a birthday present before, and I don't know if he will like it."

Javier knew that there was a falling out between them, so he asked curiously: "What did you buy? He is usually not too picky."

Owen felt that what he said was very guilty, and he sympathized with him in his heart for a second before continuing: "Watch, I found that he is wearing a Casio now."

And it's the cheapest, the kind you can buy for a few pounds.

As a result, he was very happy when he mentioned Javier. He pointed to his nose and said, "Because I gave it to you! This is the first time I gave him a decent gift."

Now Owen was confused. He wanted to ask this brother who gave his younger brother a "decent" gift, what did you give him before?

No wonder he always speaks badly to you. He is your younger brother, but he manages you like your father.

Javier was still talking, which let Owen know that it was a gift he bought for his younger brother with the money he earned from working, and he didn't expect that Rafael hadn't changed it.

"I bought this because it has a good reputation in Argentina. The leather is durable and won't break in a fight..."

That is, Owen thought, not only is it invulnerable to fighting, but it is also extremely waterproof by your standards.

The watch he gave Raphael obviously does not meet Javier's standards, but Owen no longer intends to take it back.

"Since he has been selected for the big list, it is estimated that he will not come back until after 11:[-], so I won't wait any longer. You can pass this on to him for me."

He said to Javier.

Javier cheerfully agreed, as if he didn't think that this would make the watch he gave his brother an honorable dismissal.

After Owen left the house, he called his brother.

His elder brother Andrew appeared soon, and asked him in surprise, "Didn't you say you were going to stay for a while? Why are you leaving so soon?"

"He's in the FA Cup squad," Owen said.

His elder brother immediately showed a look of shock, and commented: "The kid who got lucky."

This made Owen laugh, and he asked him after getting in the car: "If I am selected for the FA Cup squad?"

Andrew immediately said: "That's the way of the coach, but we don't need to worry, Dad said that as long as you follow the steps, you can usher in your own era."

Even though he was boasted by his father and brothers since he was a child, Owen still felt that this compliment was too exaggerated.

But he quickly thought of Javier. Does he think of his younger brother in the same way?

It was past 11 o'clock when Raphael got home.

It was not his adoptive father Byron who sent him back, but his "dad" Bruce in Manchester United.

Bruce doesn't live far away, but the Manchester United captain had a very strong personal style when he was a dad.

When he took his bag and was about to get out of the car, he laughed and said: "You are a thousand times happier than other little devils to be selected for the big list, so don't look like a little rooster who hangs his head and is defeated, we won the game Go get a good night's sleep, I want to see you appear at the base in good spirits tomorrow morning!"

Raphael couldn't help complaining about him: "Come on, you won't show up tomorrow morning."

Bruce said "tsk" and said, "I really don't know how your father can love you so much. If it was me, I can't stand it anymore. Okay, get out."

Raphael's response was to torture his car door with more force than usual.

But Bruce didn't care at all, instead he laughed twice because of his embarrassment, and then walked away.

When Rafael came home, he saw Javier still watching the MV of the Spice Girls in the living room.

Rafael was not interested in women's legs, and just about to go upstairs, he heard Javier say to him: "Don't go up, Owen gave you this."

Raphael took a look at it and raised his eyebrows.

Javier laughed when he saw his younger brother's action, and he didn't say anything.

Raphael returned to the room with the beautifully wrapped gift box, threw the bag away, sat on the small sofa, unwrapped the wrapping paper, and opened the royal blue box.

Inside the box was a dark blue watch.

Before Javier gave him the Casio, he only knew Rolex and the IWC that Byron wore every day, but nothing else.

So he didn't know the value of this hublot, but since it was given by Owen, he accepted it.

But what will he do when he receives a gift from his peers (especially men) for the first time?

Write a greeting card?

No, more importantly, when is Owen's birthday?

What is he going to give him?

Raphael thought hard to no avail, so he had to ask Byron for advice. After all, this guy understood the aesthetics of the British better than him.

But Byron is more willing to immerse himself in self-moving than answering questions——

"Wow, that's great, you finally have a friend, Rafa, this is a friend! You have a good friend who can send gifts to each other and celebrate birthdays together!"

What responded to him was Raphael's indifferent back.

He should have asked Rice, or any of his England youth team-mates, not this idiot who didn't answer the question!
