ball magic

Batty's fans are most concerned about whether the male god can score goals.

What is Barty himself doing?

tease duck.

This can't be blamed on him, he is number 9 and someone is number 10.

Someone put such a cute duck in front of his eyes, can't he tease it?

Of course, this also made him stare a few times, but what does it matter?

That kid doesn't know how to respect the old, doesn't he know how to love the young?

Just don't argue with him.

However, at this time, a bad guest came to their locker room——

Unsolicited brazilian skinhead*1.

When they saw the bald head, everyone rolled their eyes in unison, because the Brazilian didn't understand politeness at all. After he opened the door and came in, he greeted everyone casually, and then went straight to Rafael. Er... uh, his duck.

Batty now feels that at least half of the duck belongs to him. After seeing the Brazilian, he tried to move the duck box to his side, fearing that the Brazilian would take away his luck.

But the Brazilian didn't understand etiquette at all. Before he could move it, he picked up the duck and the box, and teased it: "Hey, little guy, I heard that you are very famous now, let's have a look."

Duck Kele looked at his shiny bald head obediently.

The bald head was not discouraged, and continued: "Come and shout, look, I will bring you some bugs when I see you next time."

Keer Duck continued to maintain a dumbfounded duck state.

Now the bald head was not happy, and the triangular eyes turned directly to the owner, and asked very understandingly: "Did you feed it enough? It doesn't cooperate at all."

He was answered by a grunt from the master.

Jaminia gave a "tsk", and returned the duck to Batty who was staring at him, then put his hand around Raphael's shoulders, and whispered in his ear: "Old entrust you You sent a text message, right?"

Of course Rafael knew what he was talking about, and asked back: "Can you play today? Why didn't I see your name in the starting lineup?"

This time the Argentine internationals couldn't hold back anymore, and they didn't want to save face for the Brazilian who took the initiative to send him to the door for abuse. Everyone laughed very happily.

Jaminia chuckled, and didn't take these silly Argentines seriously at all. Instead, he said to Rafael, "You are on the list, but you are not his most beloved disciple."

What he said was obviously not welcome. After all, in the Argentine locker room, the Inter Milan Barbecue Gang was the biggest black and evil force.

Jaminia didn't care about Simeone's chatter at all. Seeing that Raphael still had a bad face, he reached out and pinched his face twice, and then greeted Aimar proactively. Just meander away.

If someone else is not very familiar with him, or doesn't know him enough, he must feel that this guy is here to find fault.

And Raphael, who didn't even give him a smile, shook his head instead.

Emma knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression.

Who is Rafael most looking forward to playing against in the entire Brazilian team?

Is it the Ronaldo that all fans are looking forward to?

If it were him, he would choose Jaminya.

Jaminha came and went, and at this point Bielsa also came back from dealing with the referees and chased them out to warm up.

When Rafael and the others walked into the stadium, they were greeted by friendly boos and abuse from the Brazilian fans.

But this thing belongs to the standard equipment of the Baya game, and it is wrong to have it.

Everyone automatically blocked the booing, and found that this newly built stadium far away in East Asia is full of South American atmosphere——

In the stands of the Brazilian fans, the fans are all dressed up gorgeously, and of course they also hold high the banners mocking Argentina or hold high the national flag.

Argentine fans obviously pay more attention to the sense of ritual than self-indulgence.

They have pulled up more than a dozen blue and white banners on the stands. If you look down from the air, the stands where the Argentine fans are located are not only surrounded by blue and white, but also look like a third of the oversized blue and white stripes in the air. balloon.

Why one third?

Of course it's because they have few fans.

But it doesn't matter, white confetti has been sprinkled from the air!

Look, whose home field is this!

Well, of course it's from Brazil.

But this didn't affect Raphael's mood.

So what if there are more Brazilians?

It's not like they haven't played at the Maracana Stadium, which can hold 8 people. What's more, this is Tokyo, and there are many Argentine fans present.

When Raphael and the others raised their hands to thank the fans, Mr. Huang was still teaching the fans not to be bad.

"We saw the white sheets of paper being sprinkled layer by layer, no matter how many times we see this scene, we will feel very beautiful.

What's more, today's Argentine fans are more numerous and better prepared, which makes them sprinkle more pieces of paper, and we can see some of them falling on the pitch.

But I don't think they are worried about the impact on the game at all now, after all, the South American game will always be like this.

So instead of watching this semi-final in Japan, we might as well watch it in South America, in Rio de Janeiro, in Buenos Aires.

But it is worth mentioning that after the last game against England, the Japanese Football Association asked the Argentine Football Association to pay for the cleaning of the stadium.

Japan has not directly announced the fee, but I think the Argentine Football Association will inevitably have to pay this 'environmental tax' this time.

But fines are not the purpose, environmental protection is the focus, I hope our fans and friends will not learn..."

Shortly after the Argentine players took the lead, Brazilian players also entered the stadium.

This also made the Brazilian fans who had been engrossed in booing the Argentine immediately happy.

Rafael, who was doing stretching with the physical coach, also took a look at the Brazilian players, and saw Jaminha making a face at him.

Raphael: "..."

How old does this guy think he is now?

At this moment, he saw Rivaldo waving at him, and Ronaldo waving at him, which made Rafael smile back and waved at them.

Huang Jianxiang said with a smile: "We saw that the relationship between Rafael and Brazilian players is still very good. Before the game, a foreign fan made an MV called "I have a bunch of Brazilian friends". The amazing camaraderie of the Brazilians."

The interaction between the superstars was only in these few moments, and the director's camera cut to the Brazilian beauties in the stands.

There are already more Brazilian fans. In terms of the number of beauties, the Argentine fans obviously lost a lot, and the director rarely showed the camera.

Just when everyone thought so, they saw a familiar figure on the camera, which was Veronica who was hugging Louis.

This is definitely a beauty!

Sitting next to her was neither her younger brother Javier nor Maradona, but Sir Robson who had just stepped down as England's interim coach for 5 days.

So the old horse will watch the game in the same box with Sir Robson later?Is it so exciting?

Soon the fans realized that they had made a mistake. The old horse was not in Raphael's stand, but set up a place by himself!

His wife and two daughters have come to Japan!

After the old horse appeared, before the Argentine fans paid homage, the Brazilian fans of the Argentine international who originally meant to boo and warm up got excited!

Singing, rise up!

Bailey, great!

They sang Bailey's praises and scolded the old horse for being a drug addict.

Lao Ma is not angry, because the Argentine fans have already sang "Brazil, Argentina is your father". ③эㄚQχδ.CΟM

Anyway, when they spray each other, scold each other and greet each other, there is no difference between the fans of the two teams, they are all so unrestrained.

Just when Mr. Huang wanted to feel that this game was controlled by the old horse with his strength, Bailey appeared!

That's right, how could he be missing in the battle between Baa and Ah?

However, after Huang Jianxiang saw Bailey appearing and waved at the fans, he laughed first.

For no other reason-

Before the game, the old horse caught Brazil and sprayed wildly for several rounds. Everyone knew his magic skills, which made the Brazilian fans so angry, but Pele, the only one who could confront him, did not show up.

Huang Jianxiang gossiped to the fans at the time: "Pelé is right not to show up. If he comes out, wouldn't he say that Brazil will win? If he said that, Brazilian fans might wish he didn't show up."

After the Anglo-Afghanistan war, Bailey, who had been hiding for several days, also appeared, and Huang Jianxiang entered the mode of watching the excitement without taking too much trouble.

"We saw that both Maradona and Pele came to the scene. The two kings had previously fought for the title of player of the century, and they wished they could fight for real.

But they don't belong to the same era. If you really want to compare them, it's Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong.

Now they have a good way to decide the victory, which is to see who wins and loses from the teams they support. "

Huang Jianxiang actually wanted to say that the fans made the atmosphere like this. Pele and Lao Ma both brought their families. Obviously, they didn't pay much attention to the Spanish team, but regarded this game as a final.

They are like this, do the players on the field think they are playing in the final?

When the camera was shown to the players on the field again, Raphael placed five balls in one breath, ready to shoot one by one.

Seeing this, Huang Jianxiang hinted: "After the match between Spain and Germany, Juan, who scored the only goal of the game, was interviewed.

He said that the goal was scored because Rafael had given him some advice, and they had done a lot of shooting and passing practice with the 'Flying Fire Meteor', which many players complained was difficult to control.

It is said that one minute on the court is ten years of work off the court, so why isn't that true for professional players?

Even Rafael practiced hard off the court.

We wish him the best of luck today in scoring goals and reaping the rewards. "

But it is a pity that the first three balls were not scored. When Huang Jianxiang felt a little embarrassed and wanted to save the Archangel, he found that Raphael scored the last two consecutive goals.

And the scoring posture is quite chic, and the long hair dances with it, full of the wild and uninhibited Argentine flavor.

Just when he was about to play a wave, he saw the director suddenly zoomed into the distant view, and a ball flew high.

The ball was in the air, and everyone saw that Rafael did not choose to take off and stop the ball before dealing with it, but turned his back to meet the ball, and took a cool swipe!

Upside down the golden hook!

Huang Jianxiang couldn’t help admiring the sudden arrival of such a stroke of genius: “Every upside-down golden hook is a perfect combination of player’s imagination, technique and explosive power. Rafael scored this goal so effortlessly and freely, which is very enjoyable. Sex, I really hope this goal is on the pitch..."

Mr. Huang played so hard, but the fans didn't listen to him at all.

Because at this moment, in their eyes, there is only Raphael's smile and his raised fingers.

This smile, no, who is this gesture for?

Aimar, of course.

And Aimar passed another ball, this time the ball was not so high, it was easily unloaded, and it was passed back casually.

The old fans looked at such a warm-up method and felt that they were forced to eat tons of dog food.

The fans suffered from dog abuse, and Batty, who was practicing shooting not far away, had lost interest because of that barb.

Hey, I'm old, so I won't compete with the younger generation for the limelight.

When he turned around, he saw Simeone smiling like a flower, startled her, and couldn't help asking, "What's your expression?"

Simeone glanced at him: "You can't even read the smile? Is it the ankle or the eye?"

Batty: "..."

Simeone won the verbal confrontation. Seeing that he had no intention of continuing the debate, he laughed and said, "Sometimes I think this kid is quite cute."

cute?

Raphael?

Seeing the questioning in his eyes, Simeone snorted, "You're so young and cute, why didn't you see it?"

Batty looked at the "young and lovely" Raphael, and said speechlessly, "No, the only one who is cute is Pablo."

Simeone: "...Your eyes really have problems!"

Batty, who had a problem with his eyes, chuckled, then ran up, and then sent the ball into the dead corner of the goal.

Problems with his eyes?

Ah!

At this time, the assistant coach also began to urge the players to go back. After hearing the call, Rafael also stopped, and casually sent the ball under his feet to the stands where the Argentine fans were.

This caused the fans in the stands to fall into a scramble, and Raphael had already waved in the direction of his family, and then walked into the player tunnel with Aimar.

The game has not come yet, and he can't wait!

The squad leader was full of ambitions, but when he returned to the locker room, he found Bielsa was circling the ducks.

After seeing the players come back, Bielsa was not embarrassed, but touched the duck's head again, and then got up to signal everyone to go to the tactical board.

When everyone gathered around, Bielsa said: "Although this is the semi-final, I think everyone regards this game as the final."

After Bei Shuai finished speaking, all the players including Rafael and Redondo nodded in unison.

It's not that they underestimate the Spanish team, but now that Spain and Brazil are put together, any player can know which side is stronger.

If they lose to Brazil, they will also miss the final.

Bei Shuai continued: "You already know Brazil's starting roster, and it is no different from what the coaching staff predicted. The key point is the two wings—"

After hearing him mention the wing, Raphael waited for himself to be called.

Sure enough, Bielsa looked at him: "Rafa, you have to take on more defensive tasks today, especially Cafu."

Raphael nodded silently.

It may be because of the 99 America's Cup, or it may be the previous two games against England and Sweden. In short, when formulating the tactics of this game, Bielsa obviously lost the arrogance of being arrogant and about to sweep the world, and a little more pragmatic.

Raphael thinks this is a good thing.

Bielsa then looked at Redondo, who also nodded.

If Raphael was to cover the left, he would help Zanetti fight Carlos on the right.

Bielsa then emphasized to Saviola.

Even if Keeley is injured, Gallardo is still qualified for this position. Letting the young Saviola start, Bielsa is taking great risks.

But Bielsa chose him for two reasons -

He is teammates with Rafael and good friends with Aimar.

This is not to say that Saviola was promoted by nepotism, but by tacit understanding.

Choosing Saviola is better than choosing Gallardo. If it doesn’t work, he has another option, which is to replace "Little Bug" Lopez in the second half, let "Little Bug" play on the right, and Aimar run on the left go.

Saviola listened obediently. What Bielsa said now, he has actually emphasized to himself a hundred or a thousand times in his heart.

Bielsa then chatted with the back five.

His nagging focus is on Placente and Pochettino.

In fact, it took him a long time to decide on these two positions.

Compared with other players, Placente is obviously at a disadvantage because he plays for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

The Bundesliga will not become a desert for Argentine players, but it is not much better. Usually, the national team coaches will not stop at the Bundesliga team.

But this season, Leverkusen won two runner-ups in the Bundesliga and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Such results, coupled with his outstanding performance, and more importantly, his status as a member of the 97 World Youth Championship and Rafael's younger brother, made Bielsa still give him a World Cup ticket.

But this performance is not enough for Bielsa to reuse him.

Because compared to him, Bielsa prefers Sorin's offensive performance, and Sorin himself plays a very important role in the Argentine national team, and he is also the leader of the river plate.

Since the strength and qualifications are enough, why does Bielsa take risks?

But Pekerman was different.

He is just a temporary coach, only coaching for one game, so he doesn't have to think so much at all.

Placente was his former disciple, and now he is in top form, with excellent offense and defense. Without him, how can he still use Sorin, who is not tall?

It also allowed Placente to take his chances and give his all in this game.

His performance was so eye-catching that after the game against England, domestic fans questioned why Bielsa didn't let Placente take over.

Now against Brazil, facing the "3r" composed of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, Bielsa really has no confidence in the defense, especially for Pochettino.

Bielsa weighed it up and chose the latter between [Very offensive] and [Excellent offensive and defensive], and Placent took the position.

But Bielsa obviously still thinks he is too young, and this is another Ba-A battle, so it is inevitable to say a few more words before the game.

Bielsa is a pure person, his mind is not difficult to guess, Rafael thinks he may be too nervous.

If Argentina's defense is made of paper, then Brazil's defense is made of sieves. Who is better than whom?

When Bielsa finished his tactics and looked at him, and asked him, the captain, to give the final speech, Rafael only said one sentence——

"Why doesn't Pele say now 'Samba football is the ultimate attack'?"

This rhetorical question made everyone obviously stunned for a moment. It was because he was afraid that he would have a crow's mouth and hid.

But this is obviously not the correct answer. At this moment, Simeone took the lead in shouting out the correct answer——

"Because football is Argentina! The most extreme offense is also in Argentina!"
