Raphael didn't know what he was feeling at the moment, his eyes were a little moist, even though he kept blinking, trying to make himself look the same as before.

He always thought he was playing football because he loved the sport, that he was doing it for himself, for his dreams, and not for anyone else.

But at this moment, he thought of the phrase that if football has no fans, then ...... It's nothing. Because of love, so save zài!

He was a little ashamed, for his previous expression and thoughts, with such a group of lovely fans, what can't he compromise?

But soon, his gaze became firm again...... It's for the sake of such lovely fans that he can't let them down.

Eventually, instead of his usual moves, Rafael grabbed the shirt on his left chest with his left hand, kissed the emblem lightly, then bowed to the fans, got up and waved, and returned to the stadium.

At this moment, Carol was very excited: "Did you hear it? Did you hear it? River Plate fans wrote a song for our little angels, hahaha, look at this neat singing, they must have practiced in private for a long time, oh! It's a pity that I wasn't there, otherwise I would have sung along! Haha, I'm sure Rafael must be the youngest player to get the fan song-writing treatment, haha, but he can afford this treatment, because he single-handedly pulled River Plate back from the brink of relegation and brought it to the top of the mountain!" ”

"To this, Rafael's response was to kiss the team emblem affectionately, which is the best response for the fans!"

Pavoni, who turned around and walked away, also heard this singing, and his feelings were very complicated, the fans wrote songs for the players, which is the greatest recognition of the players...... The funny thing is that he is 28 years old this year, and he has never enjoyed such treatment, and ...... Probably never again.

No matter how good he looks, in the eyes of River Plate fans, he is an outsider.

River Plate took a temporary lead over Tolima thanks to Rafael's superior individual ability and went into the break with that scoreline.

Kappa asked Murray and Bonanaut to warm up after the whistle blew at the end of the first half, without them having to go to the dressing room.

When they walked into the passage, both Lamela and Pavoni had not looked good.

In fact, when Capa walked into the locker room and closed the door, he was the one with the most ugly face: "Look at your table in the front court, you play like a piece of shit! What do you take the game for? I allow you to express yourself, but I will never allow your self-expression to lead the team to the abyss!

"In the second half, Hugo down, Roglio up, Juan down, Diego up, in the backward situation, Tolima will definitely make adjustments to strengthen the attack, a goal is not safe, so we continue to attack in the second half, the backfield is mainly defensive, in the midfield, I don't want to see the first half of the scattered situation, otherwise, although a game can only be changed three people, but the next game, please believe, I can completely let you sit on the bench ......"

Juan Díaz was also a little surprised, he was a fullback, this game Capa chose a back five, in fact, to release two fullbacks to insert assists, but because of the chaos of the first half of the organization, they did not get a good chance, Capa replaced him, replaced a frontcourt personnel, think about it, see the head coach with a stern face, quickly nodded to show that he supports the head coach's decision.

Lamela breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Bonanott warming up, he thought he was going to be replaced.

And as a counterpoint substitution, Pavoni knows very well that Capa replaced him because he was dissatisfied with his appearance, which made his face very ugly, yes, he played very selfish in the first half and wasted a lot of opportunities, but, which striker is not selfish, which striker will not waste opportunities? Didn't Rafael pass him just now?

But apparently, Capa gave up on him and chose Raphael.

After the coaching staff went out, there was nothing in the locker room for a while, and Rafael was called out as soon as he took a bite of the apple.

As soon as he left, Almeida came to Pavoni's side: "Hey, Hugo, can I talk to you?"

"Of course, Matthias, is there anything wrong with you?" Pavoni and the captain didn't know each other very well, except for the occasional barbecue dinner.

"I always forgot to ask you, did you enjoy your time at the club?"

"It's good, I love it here, the river bed has always been a dream of mine. Pavoni replied carefully.

Almeida smiled: "Yes? That's good, after all, we had a good season, we worked together, we won the championship together, you like it here, that's good." He paused, "If you encounter any difficulties or contradictions here, you can sue me, I hope it won't affect your performance in the arena." ”

Pavoni thought that the other party was here to comfort him, and was about to speak, but Almeida did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "You are our indispensable force this season, you look at Rafael, he is only 17 years old, although his growth is so amazing, he will definitely be the absolute core of the team in the future, but he still needs your experience and help, no one can leave the team and live on his own, isn't it?"

Pavoni understood that the captain was here to beat him......

"Matthias," Pavoni whispered, "I came to River Plate because Mr. President told me that River Plate needed me," and he would be the savior of this team, the heart of the front court, but the reality and the ideal gap was too big, "and I wanted to be in the national team." "He is not young, and he also wants to wear the blue and white jersey before retiring and fight for the country.

His mentality has indeed changed a lot compared to the past, but no one wants to become someone else's vassal, winning, it's an angel, if he doesn't win, his teammates don't give it, if he loses, he can't do it without an angel...... For an aspiring and idealistic person, this is simply a kind of mental torture.

So sometimes he thinks that if only Rafael hadn't appeared, his light wouldn't have been overshadowed, maybe in the last game against Portugal, Batista wouldn't have chosen Estudiantes de La Plata's top scorer Martinez in the squad, but him?

Not to mention that Rafael has not yet arrived at 17 this year, Batista is already interested in him......

Almeida was surprised: "I don't think it conflicts with your dreams, or do you think being a lone wolf will make it easier for you to get into the national team?"

Who wouldn't want to be in the national team, and how could Ferrero not give up on joining a higher-paid Mexican team without moving if it wasn't for the hope of increasing his hopes of making the national team?

But no matter how good the personal table is, the team can't win the ball, and there is a fart.

Not to mention that in the forward line, there are enough lone wolves in the national team, Batista is crazy to ask for another one, what he wants is a player who can cooperate with Messi!

The bystanders cleared, Pavoni was stunned for a while, and found that it seemed to be ...... It seems like...... That's true.

"And Rafael is a good boy, if you treat him well, he won't treat you badly, last season, did he give you fewer chances?"

As Almeida finished speaking, Pavoni looked over and saw that many people were looking at him with a look of detachment in his eyes, and he suddenly realized that although his teammates had not previously expressed their opinions or even sided with him and Rafael's rivalry, they actually ...... They didn't actually approve of him.

Lamela was on pins and needles, because before the captain left the dressing room, he patted him on the shoulder: "Second half, do well!"

Rafael was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, and Almeida came out and handed him his apple: "What did the coach tell you?"

Raphael's eyes lit up and he took a bite: "Thank you, captain." ”

"It's nothing, the gentleman just told me about the second half. His smile was sweet, and he could tell that he was in a good mood.

Almeida pinched his face: "Cunning little devil, if we lose this game, I won't spare you." ”

Raphael paused and winked innocently: "Captain, what are you talking about." ”

Almeida was not prepared to continue to poke at him: "Ariel is gone, Paul has become a vice-team, the third captain of the team is vacant, I recommended you to the coach, you don't want to let me down." ”

Raphael took a bite of the apple: "How do I feel like I'm dreaming today...... The fans sang the song that was written for me, and then Matthias said I was going to be captain......"

"It's the third captain!" Almeida knocked him, "and look at your appearance! little rabbit, you want to usurp the throne before you even become it?"

Almeida was a little lamented.

In fact, Pavoni's changes and even Lamela's heart knot, he is very clear, but he did not adjust it at the first time, first of all, this kind of duel from strength can only be eliminated from the root by the parties. Secondly...... He used the captain's authority to help Rafael press down this time and even fight the manager for this, so what about after that?

Ariel is gone, he will retire sooner or later, Ferrari may also leave, or will Rafael transfer in the future?

If you don't solve it yourself, you will never be able to grow.

So he chose to watch from the sidelines, by the way, to see how Rafael reacted, if Rafael chose to endure silently, or even unconditionally cooperate with the coach's arrangement, although it may be good for him to develop in a cyclical gradual manner, Almeida will be disappointed.

How can a man have no character and blood? How can he be rubbed by others? Even under the banner of love, he can't!

Most importantly, Almeida disagrees with Capa's point of view, cultivating a superstar is definitely not treating him as a flower in a greenhouse, pampered and cared for, how can he stand tall when the storm and wind come?

Fortunately, Raphael is usually soft and cute, but he did not compromise at all at the critical moment, and it seems that he has solved it well...... Although he didn't know how the other party persuaded Lamela to risk being replaced, such a cooperation with him......
