The Pacaembo Stadium in São Paulo, which had always been noisy, was silent at this moment.

River Plate fans in the stands were accustomed to holding their breath as they saw Rafael shoot, fearing that the rapid breathing would change the trajectory of the football. Santos fans, on the other hand, are completely psychologically unable to accept the silence that has resulted in silence.

Even the voice of the on-site commentary was shocked by Raphael's sudden and overwhelming long-range shot. He was still thinking about "can Angels receive this ball and what is he going to do with it", but the ball has already shot straight towards the goal. This is the sadness of the commentators who contacted and commented Rafael's game for the first time, and it was difficult for them to react immediately in the face of Rafael's unconventional play.

Rafael, who saw the ball in the net, threw a punch hard, turned and ran towards the River Plate stands.

His movements made the icy court crack instantly, and the atmosphere of the "boom" changed abruptly.

Neymar, who was still standing in the river plate half, looked at Rafael's cheerful figure in a daze.

He saw clearly that River Plate's counter-attack was nothing more than a normal goal kick, a normal midfield header ferry, but an abnormal shot on goal......

The score was rewritten!

And that shot came from his worst enemy.

Is...... It's an eyesore.

On his home turf, he's going to beat him and let him crawl at his feet, not let this guy be in the limelight!

But who would have thought that "Rafael would shoot like this"?

"Rafael actually shot like this! Turn around and volley! What a genius's choice! Genius's decisiveness! Only a genius can score such an unbelievable goal!" Carroll continued to express his overflowing emotions like a madness after roaring, "Doesn't a normal person stop the ball first and then turn around, or pass or shoot? Only Raphael can do this series of actions in advance, all he has to do is wait for the ball to reach the door by itself! And the ball obediently cooperates with his performance! Oh! My God, I can now understand why after every Angel game someone wants to do something with the ball, even I want to check if there's something in it!

Carroll actually knew that it was not so much the timing of the ball as Rafael's ability to grasp the timing, which is why the ball now feels like it hit his foot that happened to be volleyed.

Moreover, only Rafael has the confidence to turn around and volley without stopping the ball and hit the goal.

To be reasonable, this kind of shooting, the probability of taking time and hitting the plane each accounts for 49%, this is a long shot from 36 meters away from the goal! But on the contrary, the 2% chance was achieved by Rafael.

God is unreasonable.

River Plate's coach's bench and bench have gone crazy and gone crazy with joy!

Everybody knows what that goal means!

They are ahead of Santos!

Although the format of the Copa Libertadores final is different from the previous group stage, semi-finals, etc., and does not count home and away goals, as long as the score is tied, 30 minutes of extra time will be played, and if the winner is still not decided in the end, a brutal penalty shootout will be played.

But now, they're ahead on the road!

Although there is still a long way to go, the effect of this goal is limitless, and although the morale is invisible and tangible, it is really important.

This goal gives them a big step towards winning the Copa Libertadores!

The Santos coach's bench, which is not far away, has become a group of statues, and the head coach Morrissi still maintains a posture of leaning forward and looks at the goal in amazement, and assistant coach Ricardo Rosa can't help but scold: "What the hell!

This is perhaps the most frequent phrase that comes up after Rafael's shot.

If the first ten minutes of the second half were controlled by Santos, Rafael only took a second to seize the initiative.

"That's the kind of talent that can undo all our hard work in a flash of inspiration. Another assistant coach, Tata, smiled wryly.

Elano has done a good job, almost all the balls that flew towards Rafael in front of him, and when Carriso kicked the goal, Elano chose to stand behind Rafael, which is a very safe choice, one is to ensure his vision, and the other is to block or destroy Rafael's shooting route immediately when he wants to turn and shoot, so that he can only choose to pass. That's the policy they set at half-time, and Elano just followed it tightly. But who would have thought that Rafael's shot would be so coherent and sudden.

'They have a Rafael and we have Paul and Neymar. Morrissey, who came back to his senses, regained his usual composure and greeted his disciples on the sidelines to stabilize their morale.

It's just that if someone looks closely, his face is still very abnormal, and the pressure he bears has increased exponentially compared to before when he is a goal behind at home.

The referee circles his finger in the middle of the circle to indicate that the goal is valid.

River Plate's players began to come from all over to catch angels, and Raphael, who didn't want to be ravaged anymore, ran fast, forming a joyful tug-of-war on the field.

As a midfielder, Almeida has a lot of experience and took the lead in forming a circle with Maidana to catch Rafael.

Raphael made a bitter face: "Touch your shoulders without touching your face, touch your face without touching your head, beg to be spared!"

The hand that was originally on his shoulder turned around and rubbed his hair in an instant, and Almeida smiled: "Good boy, well done!"

"Hahaha, look at them, they haven't reacted until now!"

"Turn around and volley, what else you can't do!"

The teammates gathered over and slapped Raphael's body hard, the weight of the force was directly proportional to the joy in their hearts.

They were pressed and beaten by Santos before, and as time goes by, the pressure on River Plate will become heavier and heavier, and the hidden worries buried deep in their hearts will resurface, and if this continues, Santos will score goals sooner or later...... It's like the downstairs resident waiting for another boot upstairs to drop, nervous and uneasy.

Once conceded, this feeling of settlers could have knocked down River Plate's morale, and at that point, Rafael could not have reversed it alone.

But now, all this gloom has been swept away, and what if the boots fall off?

When Capa and assistant coach Hector hugged, he couldn't help but sigh: "Rafael's psychological quality is so rare, he dares to shoot like this on this occasion, he didn't think about what to do if he didn't score?"

'I think his mind is always about whether he can shoot here, not whether he will score a goal. Hector smiled.

This is Rafael, and the one that has left the deepest impression on him since he got to know him will always be his unrivalled confidence in shooting.

Compared to the joyful riverbed, Santos is like an ice cellar up and down. Bailey and Oliveira in the VIP box looked more ugly than the other.

Santos' goalkeeper Rafael Cavral knelt on the grass, still with only the ball lying quietly in the goal. If Rafael's spoon shot gave him a feeling of humiliation, the goal gave him a deep sense of frustration, as if his instincts as a goalkeeper were completely ineffective in the face of Rafael and no matter what he did, he could not prevent that man from scoring.

He came with the confidence to keep a clean sheet against his opponents, but now he has become a demon who imprisons himself.

After the celebration at River Plate, everyone returned to their positions and waited for the restart.

Rafael didn't provoke Neymar this time, he just smiled at him when he noticed the other party's gaze, and that's it.

It's just that this kind of behavior makes Neymar even more unbearable, how did the two tie up?

What is more provocative than provocation is not caring.

The change in Rafael's attitude before and after deeply stimulated Neymar.

In the 14th minute of the second half, Neymar was once again unreasonably brought down by Afrancino when he took the ball forward on the right side.

Afrancino, who had his back to the referee, continued to disgust Neymar: "Weak chicken, do you still want to be compared with Rafael?"

Neymar clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were full of fire, if his eyes could kill, Afrancino would have been riddled with holes.

Although the referee awarded a direct free-kick, it was not known whether it was too far or the previous four free-kicks were not very good, and Elano chose to pass the ball.

The ball landed at the feet of Ganso, who took the ball with his back and pulled it across the two, and was about to pass the ball to find a match, but was brought down by the River Plate captain. The captain's movements were still clean, and the first tackle on the ball was not considered a foul, so this time the referee did not blow the game to stop, and the ball rolled to the feet of Afrancino.

Afrancino felt that this was a good opportunity, and when he was about to look up for someone to pass the ball, he didn't expect someone behind him to rush over and kick him directly.

This was the first time that Afracino had fallen to the ground involuntarily in this game, and he had no idea that someone would make such a malicious foul move, so he threw himself forward and fell to the ground without warning, and then the man behind him ran past him and stepped on the back of his right hand.

Alfrancino, who had been rolling with his legs in his hands, now had to wail with his hands folded.

This scene was clearly seen by Lamela, who came to answer her, and rushed over and pushed the man: "What the hell do you want to do?"

That man was Neymar.

Neymar took two steps back under Lamela's movements, and laughed angrily: "Didn't you kick people very well before?

Although the home fans saw Neymar's foul action, they didn't care, Neymar received so many fouls, if they could, they would prefer to make up for it alone, so it was even more striking that Lamela pushed Neymar, and they erupted in a huge boo at Lamela and raised their middle fingers.

"Dare to touch our little Bailey?

The referee immediately ran over to separate the two, of course he knew how important this final was for both sides, and he also knew the grudge between Brazil and Argentina in football, so he did not dare to slack off, and he showed a yellow card to Neymar.

Neymar clasped his hands together in front of the referee and explained that he was just trying to tackle the ball, but he didn't get his foot on it. But although Amarilla didn't see Neymar step on Afrancino, he saw it clearly, which was an obvious act of revenge. Santos' talented youngster still couldn't contain his temper.

The referee's decision would not change, and Neymar shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked away with a smile.

The boos on the scene rose higher and higher, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. Even River Plate fans booed because they felt that the referee should have given the guy a red card, which was a foul on the bright soles, and a red card was not too much.

Lamela angrily said to the referee: "Sir, this guy is obviously a malicious foul, you should send him to the dressing room in advance to take a shower!"

But how could Amarilla let Santos' core go back to the locker room to take a shower now, this is Santos' home stadium after all, so he glared at Lamela: "I know how to judge, I don't need you to teach me how to judge, if you think it's unreasonable, you can complain after the game!"

After showing a yellow card to Neymar, Lamela also received a warning for his action just now.

Neymar saw Rafael as he turned to leave.

Rafael ran back from the front court, he didn't argue with the referee like the rest of his teammates, but ran directly towards Afrancino who was still lying on the ground, but his eyes kept on Neymar, and his expressionless face looked murderous.

Neymar raised his eyebrows and glared back, and muttered when Rafael came over: "Look at what!"

Raphael whispered as he passed by: "I thought you would be my current opponent, and then I found out that I was wrong." ”

Neymar couldn't help but sneer: "Who do you think you are." ”

But Raphael didn't reply and ran away without looking back.

When Neymar looked away angrily and saw the slightly reproachful and disappointed looks of his teammates, he was stunned.

This scene is so familiar, he thinks of the first meeting with that guy in the South American U20 Championship, remembers the yellow card he received for arguing with the referee, remembers his teammates who have no fighting spirit, and remembers him in the end......

It's not that the opponent is too strong, it's that he himself gives up hope.

His worst enemy was not Raphael, but himself.

The thrill of revenge vanished in this moment.
