23. Chapter XXV

No one thought that even the fans were about to give up and accept the draw, when the ball was like the gospel of God, sprinkled at the Monumental Stadium and cured their uneasy and frustrated feelings. In the boiling stadium, the cheers of more than 50,000 fans overwhelmed a qiฤ“, "Rafael, Raphael!" The name that Carol had just introduced instantly resounded throughout the stadium, forming a sea of joy.

Because the fans saw the dawn of victory and saw the three points beckoning to them, this young player from their River Plate academy caused a goal with his first touch of the ball in the second minute of the game, which didn't make them ecstatic!

Rafael opened his hands and ran all over the field, his brilliant blonde hair rose with the wind, the calm before the goal had long disappeared at this moment, he loved football, he loved winning more, he enjoyed cheering, he enjoyed the feeling of dominating the game, the mountains and tsunamis of 50,000 people, Argentina's top stadium, he came, he arrived, he was going to conquer! There is a way that Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles! No one can stop him!

His smiling eyes shimmered with boundless ambition.

But in the footage captured by the camera, the first impression he left on most people was his beautiful and unmere appearance.

Carol, who had used all his lung capacity to finally finish his long voice, just took a breath, and said in a fast, fast tone like a machine gun: "Rafael! The scorer is No. 27 Rafael! This is his debut, this is his first goal, he not only broke Saviola's record for the youngest age to appear in the club's first team, but also became the club's youngest goalscorer with a record of 16 years and 105 days!" Congratulations to Rafael, it was a perfect debut and I am sure he will make a lasting impression on the hearts of all River Plate fans. โ€

Rafael and his teammates hugged each other, and the Tigray players looked at him with fiery eyes, they couldn't tolerate fighting for more than 80 minutes, not only did they not get a victory, but they couldn't even take a point away.

Tigray's head coach Caruso Lombardi is even more regretful, even if River Plate is not what it used to be, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, he is already very satisfied with taking away a point at the Monument Stadium, so in the case of a long-term weak attack, for the sake of conservatism, he replaced the team's sharp knife Straqualulsi and strengthened the midfield control, and now he can only hope that the players on the field can break out and hold on to the draw.

As the kick-off whistle blows, Tigray's players are on the charge again, and with the little time left to defend their honour!

Tigray was clearly unwilling to accept defeat and they attacked again, but with only five minutes remaining, the fourth official played four minutes of injury time on the sidelines, a total of nine minutes, and they were still ...... Oh my God, Raphael, Raphael snatched the ball from Morales' feet, oh my God, Raphael's movements were so fast, look at Morales's expression, it's like he's seen a ghost!"

The opening tackle was Rafael's forte, and the Tigrayan players who just wanted to dribble the ball into the River Plate penalty zone seemed to him like a broken net full of sieves, full of holes. He rushed directly to Morales, who was dribbling the ball, and with a slight hook of his foot, the ball had already turned against him, and he was happily thrown into the feet of Rafael, while Morales was still thinking about the passing route and wanted to kick it straight.

Rafael, who had snatched the ball, instantly took the ball out of his own half, and the Tigray coach folded his hands together and shouted loudly: "Back to defense!

Raphael doesn't reason with them, doesn't play with his feet, doesn't think about how to pass people, and now that the game is about to end, no one is more energetic than him, and no one is faster than him, so he has to use a very unreasonable speed...... Take the ball into the goal!

The fans couldn't sit still, standing up and wanting to shout for fear of disturbing Rafael's long-distance run, even the commentator Carol couldn't sit still, he stood up and roared directly: "God, Raphael's speed is too fast! Who can stop him? No one!" Standing on a high place, you can have a panoramic view of the shape of the field, Rafael is like a white lightning, crossing the arc of the middle circle, straight into Tigray's backfield! The Tigray players who are chasing back are getting farther and farther away from him with the ball, what a terrible speed!

Everyone looked at Raphael without blinking, for fear that if they missed the eye, the person would disappear from their field of vision.

Tigray is left with only defenders at the back to stop Rafael.

"Trombetta rushed over, oh! He just fell to the ground and shoveled! He just went straight at people, damn it, this butcher! Oh haha, he's still too slow, haha. โ€

There was a deep mark left on the court, and if Rafael was tackled in such a high-speed dribble, he would probably be carried off a stretcher immediately. But Rafael didn't care at all, he picked up speed again a second before the opponent put the shovel over, and the miscalculated Tigray defender shoveled directly behind him, and he could only watch Rafael rush away.

Rafael kicked the ball wide again and continued to run, and in front of him were the Tigray backline that quickly turned back to the middle, each of them closer to the ball than Rafael.

But no one had faith in them, because their speed was as slow as a snail compared to Raphael's.

When they rushed in front of Raphael, even reaching out and pulling it became a luxury, and they had already been ruthlessly thrown away by Raphael.

It's pure, unbeatable speed contests!

Tigray central defender Perez, who is closest to the goal, is also the closest player to the ball, he doesn't look at how fast the River Plate player is, he just needs to know that as long as he grabs the ball first and drives the ball forward with a big foot, it will be useless for that player to run fast, and this will be their counterattack opportunity!

5m, 3m, 2m, 1m......

Perez, who was getting closer and closer, picked up his right leg, and before the joy could reach his nerve center, at this moment, a whirlwind blew past him, and then, the ball that was still close in front of him disappeared!

"Perez is too slow, in front of Rafael, he is like an old man, he moves so slowly, is he afraid of twisting his waist!!?

The Tigray goalkeeper hesitated for a moment when the last goal was an abandonment and was easily erased, and finally stood in front of the goal, he saw that Rafael did not slow down at all, raised his leg in high speed, and hit the ball with his right instep!

"Raphael-!Raphael-!Gooooo!!oo

Islas instinctively made the save, but unfortunately he made the wrong save and he fell to the left and the ball flew into the net from his right!!

Rafael, who was unable to close the momentum, rushed towards the plastic runway outside the bottom line, almost hit the billboard and barbed wire in front of the fans' seats, and held his hand to stop his body, which shows how fast he was just now!

The fans who were still holding their breath just now watched the ball enter the net, and it boiled again, it was this teenager again, it was this teenager again!

"Raphael, Raphael!" shouted the crowd, and the fans, who were facing Raphael, all leaned forward and stretched out their hands, as if trying to embrace the boy who had brought them victory.

Rafael clasped his hands to his lips and opened them with a touch of a button, sending a flying kiss to the fans. This scene was recorded by a moving camera, his movements were seen at a glance, a camera pushed closer to the lens, Raphael's black and white pupils, his eyes were full of smiles, and the heat and blush on his face caused by the wild running, all of which made him look energetic and hooked.

When this close-up appeared on the big screen, I don't know how many unintentional viewers stopped and stared.

River Plate's bench and coach's bench were jubilant, if there was a one-goal gap that could still be counterattacked, but the two goals had basically declared the end of the suspense of the game.

Manu cheered and was a little depressed in his seat, and looked at the head coach with resentment, Mr. Capa, you said that it would be great if you let Rafael start with me, with this kid's perverted Cheng Dรน, the game might have ended long ago.

Tigray's players were all in mourning, and the fighting spirit that had just risen disappeared in an instant, and the physical exhaustion and mental exhaustion rushed together, making them almost want the final whistle to blow immediately.

Caruso Lombardi was also dumbfounded, the new No. 27 player was like a tiger out of the cage on the field, he really couldn't understand that Capa had such a killer feature, why didn't he get on it earlier, he had to give them hope to throw them into hell again, it was too shameless!

After the flying kiss, Rafael wanted to rush to the coach's box to dedicate the goal to Capa, but was slammed on the grass by a group of teammates who came to celebrate......

When he came out again, he was like a ravaged little cabbage, pitiful, where did he still have the spirit to be courteous.

With five minutes remaining, Tigray was clearly out of hope and began to kill the last minutes, with Caruso making one last substitution to strengthen the defence once again. Rafael doesn't know how to take it when he sees it, he is still very active running, the Tigray players who are already very wary of him, but they are not willing to give him any more chances, and his teammates don't seem to want to attack anymore, Rafael has some regrets, he feels that he has just warmed up, but the game is about to end, which is really a sad thing.

Commentator Carroll also knew that the game had entered garbage time, and Rafael, who came on in the 83rd minute and scored twice in 6 minutes, became the object of his praise, and he began to gush about Rafael's magical experience in the past six months, and this time it was much more emotional than the previous introduction that was not salty or light.

"At this year's World Cup, Rafael was selected to join the sparring team and went to South Africa with the national team, so head coach Capa decided to give the youngster a chance and recruit him into the pre-season preparation list, obviously, this decision was too wise, Rafael's brace scored a brace to get River Plate off to a good start to the league!"

Carroll did not forget to continue the commentary as he spoke: "Oh, the Tigray players made a mistake and sent the ball to Bonanott's feet, hehe, seeing that the 1 point in the hand became 0 points, the blow was too big, they obviously forgot how to play the ball. He scoffed.

Bonanotte was also tired, but he didn't forget what he should do as the core of an organization, he swept his eyes slightly, looked at the opponent's position, and suddenly felt that the ball still had a play, and he broke through with the ball.

Because Rafael's previous two goals were too hateful, and the defensive strength around him was twice that of another striker, Murray Jr., Bonaort didn't have to think about it at all and finally gave the ball directly to Murray Jr.

Rogorio Mori did not let go of this gift package, in the face of the black jersey that came from the block, he did not pause, and chose to hit the goal directly at the first time he received the ball, although the angle was not good, he still chose to shoot, I have to say that the choice is very casual, after all, the game is over, and they have won, it doesn't matter if they score or not, just practice shooting!

"Little Murray chose to shoot directly, will this ball go in?!" Carroll's eyes widened and lamented, "It's a pity! Islam finally got brave and saved the ball, it doesn't matter if the ball didn't go in, anyway, we've already won, the referee is already looking at the watch, it seems that as soon as this goal kick is served, the game is over, congratulations to River Plate, the victory belongs to-!"

Carol felt like someone had choked her throat, and the audience was equally silent.
