28. Chapter 28
Rafael had a difficult time with the Internet and a "former idol", and the next day he was allowed to get out of bed, but Terri still forbade him to exercise, let alone touch football...... Although Raphael felt that he was almost good (after all, he was a person with internal strength), but under the roof, he had to bow his head, and the words of the Great Demon King must be listened to!
Raphael leaned on the recliner on the balcony, leisurely looking at the book in his hand, this book was found by him from his father's study, "Dragon Babu", martial arts novels, oh, I didn't expect to change the plane, everyone's imagination is the same way, the light work of flying eaves and walking the wall, the internal strength of splitting Huashan, hehe. But aside from these exaggerated martial arts moves, this is indeed a very good story, the plot is relaxed, the characters are flesh and blood, the character is full, and the martial arts system is well portrayed, which is really fascinating.
He's learned simplified Chinese to the point of mastery, so it doesn't look like a lot of effort.
Raphael was completely attracted to the fact that he was reluctant to put it down even when he was having lunch.
Seriously, even he, a Ming man who knows what kind of internal force is, can't help but yearn for the world of martial arts written by the author, Mr. Jin Yong, and can't help but wonder if there are really more advanced martial arts that have not been explored, maybe they can really reach the situation described in the book?
There is a poem that says, you look at the scenery from the bridge, and the people who watch the scenery look at you from upstairs. Raphael, who was reading quietly, did not know that he had unconsciously amazed the world of others.
Zhang Qing and his partner photographer Wang Zhen and his friend Ma Qinuo, who had to come with him, stood in front of the door of River Plate's superstar Rafael Yun, and their spirits were a little uplifted. As a special correspondent of "Football Weekly", Zhang Qing is a little emotional, he was originally the company's special stationed reporter in South America, but he has been focusing on the Brazilian league, especially the recent return of many big stars in the Brazilian league, such as Santos's Robinho, Corinthians' aliens Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Flamengo's Adriano, to see the rookie, there is also a rising star - Neymar da Silva.
River Plate has a demon star named Rafael Yun, as soon as the results of the A-League match came out, he knew it, he originally wanted to observe a few more games, and then apply to the editor-in-chief for an interview, but he didn't expect an old classmate to make a phone call for him to book a plane to Buenos Aires on the same day......
If he wants to grab Rafael Yun's first domestic interview, he must have it! At that time, his heart was pounding, and he didn't care about Neymar or a big star......
The inaugural issue of "Football Weekly" was born in 2001, it is affiliated with "Sports Weekly", but it does not want to be only a vassal of "Sports Weekly", "Football Weekly" aims to be the largest circulation sports magazine in China.
However, since last year, after the domestic football industry began to fight against gambling and blackmail, scandals have occurred frequently, and the enthusiasm of domestic fans for Chinese football has repeatedly declined. But most fans will only watch more and more congested, and they don't want to pay attention to the news of who is down today, who is arrested after class, and the Chinese Super League is even more lacking in attention, and "Football Weekly" can only focus more on foreign countries.
Now that the appearance of Rafael has made Zhang Qing's eyes shine, what is more attractive to domestic fans than Rafael Yun, a rising star of the A-League who is of Chinese descent? It's just that he didn't dig deep into the specific life of this young player. However, Zhang Qing also regrets that the other party is only a Chinese, if he is a complete Chinese, when the news such as "Chinese teenager landed in the Ajia giants and scored a hat-trick in 11 minutes of his debut" appeared on the cover of the magazine, the whole of China would be shaken!
But in this way, it seems that it is not his turn to do the scoop.
Anyway, the editor-in-chief made a direct decision: "Since the news is accurate, then go immediately, go immediately, and be sure to get ahead of other newspapers!" So he took his partner Wang Zhen directly to the River Plate Club.
However, despite River Plate's agreement to his request for an interview, the club asked for an interview after the game because the next day was the game against the Hurricanes. Outcome...... As everyone knows, Rafael Yun was replaced by Lanzini with a sprained back after delivering a superb long ball......
Well, they originally wanted to make the interview a little thicker, and they also wanted to take some photos of Rafael Yun's training, but now it's no show, and it's still unknown whether Rafael, who is recovering from his injuries, will agree to their request, but fortunately, the editor-in-chief did not agree to him release the news of Chinese identity with the interview, but first wrote a manuscript for "Sports Weekly" to publish, otherwise with his current ups and downs, the timeliness of the news would have been gone.
Zhang Qing didn't want to return in vain, hoping that the club could help pass on a message to Raphael's family, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, Raphael's mother agreed to their request, and asked them to go directly to the home for an interview!
I can't shoot the training scene, and it seems good to take a picture of the life at home, and the watch on the court - they were at the Hurricane's home stadium at the time, and they also took a lot of photos, which can be used (yes, the two Asians who watched the game in the media box before were his and photographer partners)!
After ringing the doorbell to explain what they were going to do, the door was opened by a white woman with beautiful long pale blonde hair, and they knew that it was Raphael Yun's mother without looking at her face, because their hair was the same color.
Raphael's mother looked a little strict, but she still smiled when she saw them, and pointed to the balcony while bringing them in: "Raphael is reading, I'll go and tell him to come down, wait a minute." ”
Zhang Qing's Spanish is good, although the other party's Argentine accent is very strong, but it is no problem to understand, he thanked him and looked at the other party's fingers, and saw the boy who was eye-catching on the field...... It turned out to be as dazzling as the court.
Just wearing a casual suit, lying on a bamboo chair reading a book, without crossing Erlang's legs or posing in other indecent postures, but the calves are overlapped up and down, gently placed on the small coffee table on the side, but it looks comfortable, and with a little free and easy. Zhang Qing knew that Raphael was very good-looking, but from the current angle, he couldn't see the other party's face, but this one was ...... He had to agree with the commentary on the pitch that he really didn't look like a football player at all. On the contrary, he is like a noble little prince who is ignorant of the world, immersed in his own happy country, so that everyone who sees him has the illusion that the years are good.
Even Ma Qinuo, an old classmate who had always been very excited, couldn't help but lighten his pace, only Wang Zhen, who was suffering from occupational disease, was a photo.
The other party was clearly very focused, not noticing their gaze or movement at all.
Terri called Raphael twice, and finally couldn't bear to take the book away, and Raphael looked at her as if he was awake: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"The reporter is already here, you can wait until the interview is over. Really...... Addicted to playing football, so addicted to reading. ”
Raphael was a little caught off guard: "What interview?"
Terri was even more surprised than him: "Didn't I tell you when I was eating before? There is a magazine in China that wants to interview you, and I originally wanted to wait for you to return to the team before interviewing, I miss you, I forgot everything as soon as I trained, so I just took advantage of your leisure to interview first." ”
Raphael touched his nose, he was thinking about the contents of the book, and he was absent-minded in his lunch, and he didn't notice Terri talking.
It shouldn't be.
Raphael was annoyed and immediately ......, "Ahh
When Raphael saw three friendly Asian faces sitting in the living room of his home, he was still a little confused, wondering why a Chinese newspaper office had come to interview him.
"Hello Rafael, I'm Zhang Qing, a reporter from Football Weekly, this is my partner Ma Qinuo, photographer Wang Zhen, and I'm glad to have this opportunity to do this interview for you. Zhang Qing was the first to speak, in Spanish, with a kind smile on his face.
As a result, the handsome boy on the other side looked at them suspiciously: "Oh, aren't you Chinese? Why don't you speak Chinese?"
Zhang Qing's eyes widened, and his professional smile could barely be maintained, because the other party spoke very standard Mandarin!
"You can speak Chinese?!"
"My dad is Chinese, so of course I speak Chinese. Raphael wondered why every Chinese was so excited to see him, was it strange to speak Chinese?
Perhaps because Raphael didn't feel like a foreigner at all, the slightly rusty atmosphere between them disappeared in an instant, and the two professional reporters and a real fan who had mixed in relaxed.
"I really didn't expect you to speak Mandarin so well, I always thought that it was rare for children who grew up abroad to be able to speak a sentence or two. Zhang Qing smiled, looking at the boy sitting in front of him, his every move was full of good parenting, "I don't know how your injury is, can you catch up with the next game?"
Rafael smiled: "It should be possible, but it still depends on the coach's arrangement." But I'm curious, why are you here to interview me?"
He remembered that there didn't seem to be a Jia broadcast in China, and he was still a rookie, and one or two games didn't prove anything, China was so far away from Buenos Aires, why did he come all the way to interview him.
Zhang Qing and Wang Zhen glanced at each other, this kid didn't realize how much repercussions his identity would cause in China, before China produced a real international superstar, a superstar was Chinese, which was enough to make the Chinese people ecstatic.
However, Zhang Qing didn't explain so much to Rafael, just smiled: "The Argentine team is very popular in China, it used to be because of Maradona, and now there is Messi, so there are a lot of fans in the Argentine League. Do you know, before we came, there were already a lot of people talking about you on the Internet, and it was normal to come and interview you, and we are grateful that you were willing to give us this opportunity to interview. ”
This is the love of the house and the blessing of Messi, Rafael directly thought crookedly.
"Your Chinese name is Yunyi, so can we call you Yunyi directly?" After Raphael nodded, Zhang Qing's interview officially began.
"Yunyi, where is your ancestral hometown? Xiamen, Fujian? Xiamen is a good place, have you gone back to see it?"
"I want to go, but I don't have time for the time being. Raphael smiled bitterly, he still wanted to go through the whole of China.
The whole interview lasted two hours, Zhang Qing asked about everything from Rafael's 9-year-old trial at River Plate to now emerging in the first team, and when he knew that he also went to South Africa to spar, his eyes lit up, just like Vicente at the beginning, and asked him a lot of information about the members of the national team.
Especially "What kind of person do you think Messi is?"
Why do you always like to ask this kind of question...... "He is like in the news, humble and gentle, even in the face of members of the sparring team like us......"
Zhang Qing also wanted to ask for more information about Raphael's family, but he politely refused, his father and mother are relatively low-key people, he doesn't want his parents to be exposed to the media because of his excessive exposure, and it is precisely because of their low profile that the information that he is Chinese was not exposed for the first time, many people only know that he is a mixed race, but they don't know which two countries he is of mixed blood.
Finally, Zhang Qing asked Raphael, "Can you visit your bedroom?" and we would like to take two photos of your home. ”
"Uh...... No problem, but the bedroom doesn't seem to have much to photograph......"
Raphael took them upstairs, and his bedroom was on the second floor.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Zhang Qing was not surprised to find that his bedroom was just like the feeling he gave people, clean and simple.
On a large bed in the center, the light blue air conditioner is neatly laid, there are no computers or game consoles, and there are no posters on the wall (in fact, they used to be all Messi's, which were taken away by Raphael), only two large bookcases occupy the space on both sides.
Wang Zhen took a few photos, and Zhang Qing smiled: "I can't believe that this is the boy's bedroom, it's too tidy." Why do you have so many books? Do you usually like reading?"
Zhang Qing glanced at it and found that there were some educational books in a bookcase, how to say it, just like the kind of textbooks that are distributed to junior high school students and high school students in China.
"What are these?"
"The textbooks used to be," Rafael smiled, "before I was promoted to the sixth-tier team, I was still studying at River Plate Football School, and I had a cultural class to take every day, and these books were distributed at that time. Zhang Qingcai remembered, "Then aren't you in school now?"
Rafael nodded: "I didn't apply because it was too much time to train...... But I think I'll reapply to the school when I have time. "He's planned it for a long time.
Zhang Qing nodded in agreement: "Knowledge is also very important. "Otherwise, how could River Plate let young players go to cultural classes, not only to leave more back for the opponent, but because it is easier for such players to understand the team's skills, tactics and culture, and it is more convenient for the club to cultivate.
In these bookcases, Zhang Qing also saw books such as Chinese dictionaries, compendiums of materia medica, and detailed explanations of Chinese medicinal materials.
Raphael only deduced his interest in this and did not explain much, Wang Zhen also saw "Dragon Babu" that was placed on the bedside table by Terri, and directly took a close-up with the camera.
"Yunyi also looks at Jin Yong?" Zhang Qing is really sure that Raphael is a Chinese fan, and it is a trivial thing to be able to speak Mandarin, and it can be inferred that his father taught him well, but he loves to read Chinese books, that is, he is really interested in Chinese culture, and he is more and more sure that he has picked up a treasure.
Raphael smiled brightly: "Yes, I only found it from my father's study today, and it was so wonderfully written." ”
As a result, the two chatted about martial arts novels in the room for half an hour, and Zhang Qing also recommended many famous works by other writers to him, Raphael was very interested, and solemnly thanked him.
When Zhang Qing thanked him for cooperating with the interview, and handed Raphael a business card, and when he was about to leave, Ma Qinuo, who had been acting as a wallflower, was anxious, and hurriedly jumped out: "Yunyi, I'm your fan, please help me sign it!" and then put a photo in front of him.
Raphael touched his stomach, and after an afternoon of interviewing, he was a little hungry, but he still nodded good-naturedly: "No problem." He took it and saw that it was a picture of him celebrating his battle against Tigray.
Considering that the other party was Chinese, he signed his foreign name and signed his Chinese name together.
"You can also write Chinese characters......" Zhang Qing saw clearly on the side, he was well-informed, and noticed that the boy's words were indulgent and flowing, hidden edge, not the kind of flower style characters designed by professionals, but a beautiful line of grass! Suddenly he felt that he had made a mistake, he was late, and he should come over as soon as lunch was over! He thought that he had almost dug up the other party, but with such a beautiful hand, he could have been interviewed for another two hours!
Baby Magino put away the photos, then ignored the cannibalistic gaze of his old friend, and took out a large stack of photos from his bag again: "I have many friends who are your fans, please help sign them together......"
The corners of Raphael's mouth twitched, remembering the stupid things he had done, it turned out that there was really a pile of autographs for someone to sign......
