Chapter 16

Maradona has a flamboyant personality, and he is not a person who can hold back his words, although Raphael will not publicize what he did to outsiders, but what about the inside...... In short, when Rafael came back from the lap, whether it was the first team or the youth team, they basically already knew the strange things he had done, Raphael wanted to cry without tears, he just felt embarrassed to sign the autograph, but the result was ......

One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred.

In the room, Messi was talking to his father on the phone, and Aguero, who came back later than him, collapsed on the bed laughing and having convulsions as soon as he came in.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Messi, who ended the call, curiously.

"Hahaha...... Do you remember the autograph book that Diego took away before, at dinner? Haha!" Aguero clutched his stomach and laughed breathlessly, "It's not Diego's order at all, hahaha, I was suspicious at the time, and sure enough, Diego was angry when he saw it." ”

"You know what? It was that kid with very good blonde hair who made it, oh my God, to get the autographs of our whole team...... Hahaha, you actually came up with this method...... Really, what a genius......" Aguero buried himself in the quilt and laughed uncontrollably.

Messi was stunned by this amount of information, he has been a good baby since he was a child, and he can't imagine that someone is so bold.

A smiling face flashed through his mind, and he touched his nose: "But I don't think he's like a fanatic." Otherwise, how could he react so coldly today, he remembered that he didn't gesture twice and didn't gesture out, very! no!

"You can't just look at the cover to judge the content of a book. Aguero finally had enough of laughing and jumped out of bed, "Maybe he's as introverted as you are, and he's embarrassed to ask us for autographs." Well, he's really a genius with this method!" He sighed again, "Why didn't we think of it in the first place?"

"If you think about it, you won't do it. Messi pouted, "Then was he punished badly?"

Aguero pointed out the window: "I guess I'm still running in circles, how did he come up with such a genius method, HPC people are also stupid, I don't doubt it at all." ”

Messi walked out the window, which was some distance from the training ground and there were trees blocking his view, so he couldn't see anything.

At breakfast the next day, Messi saw the boy at a glance - because there was a lot of people, and the people around him were smiling, but the boy in the middle was wilting like a frosted eggplant. He was spoken to by his teammates, Mascherano and Higuain.

Mascherano's expression was a little stern, Higuain smiled kindly, and the boy kept nodding in response.

Seeing this scene, he remembered that Xavier and Higuain both came out of River Plate, so it is inevitable that there will be a sense of responsibility for the young players from the River Plate Academy, unlike others, who only know how to laugh, although this thing is really stupid.

Messi snickered.

Rafael's scalp exploded, and when he came back from a lap last night, he and Pezzella's room was crowded with a large group of youth team teammates, and these people kept asking him, "Did you do it? Is it really you? What do you think? Why do you want so many autographs? Why don't you just ask them? You are such a genius!" When he responded, the group of unsympathetic guys began to laugh wildly!

It's time for these bastards to go back to their respective rooms, well, Pezzella doesn't laugh at him, but!

Pezzella would only look at him without speaking, and then sighed after two seconds. Repeat these movements......

Can you imagine? Raphael's dreams were filled with this demonic sigh......

And that's just the beginning.

All of a sudden, it was as if all the first-team stars knew him, and almost everyone who saw him came over to say a word to him, or pat him on the shoulder or rub his head.

"Hey, little guy, you can sign it in the future, and you don't have to be so tactful. ”

"Has the signature book been confiscated, and do you want us to replace it for you?"

"I really thought it was a signature book invented by the coach, you lied to us, have you figured out how to compensate?"

"Good boy, promising ......"

Then there's the words and deeds of the former River Plate player......

In the current 23-man squad of the national team, there are three players who have played for River Plate, and of course there is not a single River Plate player now. For example, Martin Gaston, the main centre-back wearing the No. 2 shirt. He joined River Plate in 1998 and made his senior debut three years later, playing around 50 games for River Plate, helping them to two league titles before moving to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for €4.5 million.

Demichelis started out as a defensive midfielder, but during his seven-and-a-half-year spell at Bayern, he was gradually transformed into a central defender and won 11 heavy titles with the team. Since Maradona took charge of Argentina, Demichelis has been a regular in the national team, and this World Cup in South Africa is his first World Cup appearance.

There is also Javier Alejandro Mascherano, who wears the number 14 shirt and is also the current captain of the Argentine national team, and his position in the national team is generally as a central midfielder, and he is the core of the national team. At his first press conference as head coach of the national team, Maradona described his importance to the team with the phrase "my team, Mascherano plus ten other people". It is worth mentioning that he made his debut for the Argentine national team before making his debut for River Plate. Despite not playing long at River Plate before moving to Corinthians in the Brazilian league, Mascherano's fighting spirit on the pitch has made him still popular at River Plate.

Mascherano had the nickname "The Martian", which was given to him by the early chairman of River Plate. In a Copa Libertadores match, no one was worried about him when he was knocked to the ground in pain with a flying tackle in the ribs, but after a little bandaging on the sidelines, he threw himself into the heat of the game, and even ripped it off because of the bandages on his body - a situation that made all the River Plate fans moved. This nickname is to praise him for not being afraid of pain, as if he is a visitor from outside the world, and he is strong-willed. Mascherano currently plays for Liverpool, a veteran powerhouse in the Premier League.

The last one is Gonzalo Higuain, the number 9 "little smoking gun", who, like Rafael, is a product of River Plate's academy, and his father Higuain Sr. is also a football player, nicknamed "Smoking Gun" because of his big pipe-like nose. Therefore, Igua, who inherited his father's business and big nose, is also called "Little Smoking Gun". River Plate plays as a midfielder, but after moving to Real Madrid, he is now a striker and winger on the field, and is a very efficient goalscorer.

He made his debut at River Plate in 2005 and scored eight goals in 18 games that year. Higuain's brace against arch-rival Boca in October 2006 caught the attention of many scouts. That was the year when La Liga giants Real Madrid brought him to the Bernabeu for 12 million euros. Since last year, he has officially represented Argentina in international competitions.

Of course, in addition to reminiscing about the past, they secretly warned Raphael that if they want to sign an autograph, they can do it for them, and stop doing such a shameful thing.

Raphael was tired.

However, after this incident, the relationship between the first team and the youth team is much closer, in the past, in the restaurant they basically occupied half of the country, but now the situation has improved a lot, after all, everyone is mostly young, in fact, they also have a common language.

Pezzella patted him on the shoulder: "It turns out that I misunderstood you, sacrifice myself to fulfill everyone, great Raphael, we will remember you." ”

Rafael: "The coach actually said that you are mature and steady, Herman, I really misjudged you. ”

Pezzella was stunned, as if she had reacted to something, she had to touch her chin: "Strange, I used to be very stable, but I talked a lot with you." ”

Raphael: Blame me?!

The afternoon training match came in Raphael's state of shame.

Because Maradona is still insisting that the players are not overworked, and this training match is not official, he divided the first team into two groups, and it seems that the two groups are going to play the first half of the sparring team separately.

First up the pitch was the main line-up, with Lionel Messi, Higuain and Tevez up front, Di Maria, Veron, Gutiérrez and Mascherano in midfield, Heinze, Demichelis and Samuel at the back, and Romero in goal.

Maradona is still trying the 343 lineup, and if this lineup runs in well, it will probably be the first match of the World Cup on the 12th, which will be their starting lineup against Nigeria.

Compared with the ease and calmness of these players, the head coach of the youth team Batista has not decided on the last striker. In the end, in the face of Raphael's eager and untimid gaze, he still called his name: "Raphael Yun." ”

He really doesn't think Rafael can win this gamble, the players of the sparring team have never run in together at all, and even many of them are selected for the U20 for the first time, and they are not even the main force of the national youth team, so what to compete with the national team?

Therefore, this time the sparring team, it is impossible for him to gather the main force of the national youth team, even if the players are willing, the club will not agree, after all, many main members are also an indispensable part of the team, and they need to participate in the preparation and training of the new season, and there is no time to do sparring at all.

Finally Batista patted him on the shoulder: "Play normally, don't be pressured. ”

When Rafael walked onto the pitch, Maradona, who was talking to the assistant coach, clapped his hands at him: "Boy, it's too late for you to give up now." ”

The other players looked at them curiously, not knowing what Maradona meant, and when they saw Rafael, they all smiled.

The corners of Raphael's mouth twitched and he didn't speak.

As long as he stood on the court, he didn't give up two words in his dictionary!
