Since that friendly against the United States, Rafael has not received another call from Batista. The main reason is that River Plate is tight, the club is not willing to release people at all, and Batista can only settle for the second. In Argentina's match against Paraguay on the 25th of last month, Rafael's place was replaced by Lamela, and the River Plate golden boy finally made his national team debut.

However, during that time, Battista chose players from the domestic league, mainly to look at the form of different players, and Rafael was not very interested in these friendly matches, what really interested him was the Copa America place.

Rafael's personality makes it impossible for him to do anything to roll and sell cuteness and take it away, all he can do is to play every game and fight for every championship he can strive for. It's just a pity that with his age and current qualifications, he is destined to not be the first choice here in Batista.

Originally, Rafael was able to become a national team teammate with Messi so quickly, or because of Batista's purge of Maradona's old department, he urgently needed a player with strong popularity and strength in Argentina to help him divert public opinion and knock some disobedient people by the way.

Rafael, who made a good impression on him at the World Cup in South Africa, came into his sights.

However, as Aguero and Tevez have become more and more eye-catching in the club, the rhetoric that hopes that the two can return to the national team has also intensified in China, among them, Tevez, who is loved by the people, is particularly popular.

And after Batista left them dry for a few months, his beating still paid off, not to mention Aguero, even Tevez's attitude is getting softer and softer.

Some time ago, Tevez took the initiative to apologize to Batista for pretending to be sick and missing the friendly match between the national team and Brazil, and finally obtained his understanding.

A few days ago, Batista announced the 26-man squad for the first phase of the Copa America, Tevez really returned to the list, the forward six have been determined, and the 10 World Cup is not much different, it is still Messi, Higuain, Tevez, Diego Milito, Aguero, only the position of Palermo, who has withdrawn from the national team, has been replaced by his descendant Lavic.

After going around in circles, Batista still doesn't have the courage to break this inherent framework.

River Plate's only selection was goalkeeper Carriço, who will be the team's third goalkeeper after Romero and Andujar...... Although there is no chance to play, it is also a recognition of its strength.

Probably the most disappointed are Rafael's fans. Rafael was short-lived and became a passerby of the national team, and his beautiful performance at the beginning still failed to completely move Batista's heart.

In the face of questions from the media, Battista said with great regret that Rafael has outstanding strength and will definitely have a place in the national team in the future, but not now...... Because of the limited number of places in the national team, if he can, he would also like to take the little angel to experience the atmosphere of the Copa America.

Since then, Rafael has not paid much attention to the national team.

However, I don't know if it's Batista Crow's Beak, he just said that the number of places is limited, and soon, someone took the initiative to vacate the spot.

That man is Inter Milan's Diego Milito.

In the final game of the Coppa Italia, Milito, who came on as a substitute in the last few minutes, received a serious foul in the penalty area, he originally looked unusual, scored a penalty and held on until the end of the game, but when celebrating the victory, Milito left the field first in pain, and the next day it was revealed that he had strained his left leg again.

This is Milito's sixth muscle strain this season, and the fifth strain of the same muscle in the same area, which has once again led Italian and Argentine newspapers to take aim at Inter's medical system. But then, the more practical question is that Milito will be doomed to miss the Copa America for two months due to this injury, so who will fill the vacancy in the Argentine national team?

Of course, there are also people who say that there are only 23 people who can participate in the Copa America, and now they have left one early, so why do they need someone to fill the place.

It depends on what Batista thinks.

Messi asked Rafael because he thought Batista had a good chance of recruiting another striker, and his previous smooth cooperation with Rafael also made him hope that Rafael could be selected.

However, Raphael's attitude gave him the illusion that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.

"Whatever, if you can go, you can go or not," Batista's attitude hurt Raphael, and he snorted lightly, "Anyway, if you go, it's soy sauce." ”

"Soy sauce?" Messi wondered, "Who is the soy sauce?

“…… Aha??? what Neymar, I mean look at the water dispenser......" Rafael looked at Messi for a moment, suddenly laughed again, and finally pounded the table, "Hahahaha, you say this is a good image, at least the color is the same, ......eh? Has this guy already made it to the national team?"

Messi still doesn't understand how watching the water cooler and playing soy sauce are connected, but seeing Rafael happy, he also smiled: "He is still the main Brazilian player." ”

Raphael was a little envious: "He's not much older than me, it's so unfair." From this point of view, it can only be said that the Brazilian coach is still very courageous, daring to challenge and break the stereotype, you say yes. "Look, people are the main force, but he can't even get into the list of 26 people, so he's angry!

Messi refilled a glass of water for him: "Don't say that kind of thing outside. It's a different environment, now the Brazilian talent is withering, and the forward line is not as good as it used to be. ”

Otherwise, how could a Neymar be praised to the sky, the Brazilian can really blow it, even if Rafael is in front, there are often Brazilian media who bypass him and forcibly compare the two of them.

Messi is also very helpless.

"Okay, but it's okay, the national team will be handed over to you, the club will let me come, hahaha, he and I will meet in the game soon, for the sake of him provoking me three times and twice, I will definitely treat him well." Rafael thought about the game in a few days, smiled a little and looked energetic again.

Messi looked at his distant gaze and wondered a little: "Don't tell me that the tweet you sent this morning was for him." ”

Raphael raised his eyebrows: "Of course, there are comings and goings, but my way of life." ”

Messi poked him: "You are idle, you didn't care about this before." ”

This has to start with Neymar tweeting, after River Plate qualified, Neymar uploaded a photo of himself watching the game, and at that time, the team emblem of River Plate flashed on TV, and the photo was Neymar's finger team crest, and the content was: "God can't stop me." "It is followed by a pattern of a soccer ball.

The Copa Libertadores final will be played in a different format than the UEFA Champions League, with a home-and-away double format, with the first round of the match between the two sides taking place at the River Plate Monument, where Neymar's intentions are clear: he wants to score at the monument.

Rafael, of course, was not happy and also tweeted: "I believe God will not stop anyone from scoring, as long as you can score." Some people just like to play with God, do they give court fees? Don't blame God for not scoring goals, complain about your own lack of strength. ”

Taunting MAX, not to mention River Plate fans, all Argentines are raising their eyebrows.

However, the reason why Rafael is so angry is that Neymar himself is cheap, intercepted a lot of emojis and sent them to Rafael on Facebook, which is still the kind of 360-degree full blind angle.

Raphael was angry, and when he searched for a lot of black material from the Internet and wanted to fight back, he found that he was blocked......

He held his breath in his heart, and almost didn't suffocate.

He had never suffered such a loss, so he ignited the war on Twitter, and the two of them were on the bar after a while.

After listening to the cause and effect, Messi laughed a little bit and was a little afraid...... Hmm, would he say that he also saved a lot of screenshots of the game? Looks like he has to hide them so that the little angel won't find out......

"This guy is so annoying. The more he talked, the more angry Raphael's cheeks bulged, "The means are too cheap." ”

"It's a pity I don't have Twitter, otherwise I could support you...... But I'll sign up for a trumpet and take the time to help you scold him. Messi couldn't help but smile as he smoothed his hair. He signed an exclusive contract with Huaxia's Tengxun Weibo last year, so there is no way to authenticate it on other Weibo platforms.

The waiter brought the ingredients they wanted, and Messi was ready to show off his skills with great interest: "If we change the position, we can see the whole process of the chef's barbecue here, which is specially served to those guests who don't want to do it themselves." But I think it's best to grill the meat yourself, what do you think?"

Raphael blinked: "Well, but either way, I'm usually the one waiting for food......"

Messi put all kinds of condiments in his handy place, and Raphael's cooking skills were already deeply felt by Christmas, and he didn't expect him at all: "It's okay, you just wait, I told you before that I was very good." Actually, I've always dreamed of opening an Argentinian barbecue restaurant in Barcelona, haha. ”

Raphael's eyes lit up: "Then if I go, can I eat it?"

"You're a ...... When the time comes, I'll count you as a super VIP customer, whatever you want, okay. Messi stacked the beef and lamb neatly, put them on the barbecue, and gave him a blank look.

Raphael held his chin: "Then my dream is that one day you can open a store in every corner of the world." ”

Messi: "Your dream really touches me...... If you want to come to Barcelona and you can enjoy the supreme treatment of the future owner cooking the food every day, how about it?"

Rafael didn't know how the topic turned to the transfer again: "Leao, you look like a trafficker right now......"

Messi shrugged, "It's a pity that it's an unqualified trafficker," he was also helpless, "I don't know why you don't want to come to Barcelona, if you want to transfer, this is a very good opportunity." ”

Rafael was silent, Messi finished greasing the meat slices, and said to him very seriously: "With your current value, it is impossible for a small team to buy you, your future is in the giants, but it is not so easy to gain a foothold in the giants." You're an angel and a source of pride for the fans, but when you move to a new club, it's all over again. Fans from these clubs will look at you with a magnifying glass to see if your every move is worthy of the value or the shirt. Once your performance is not satisfactory, any of your shortcomings will be infinitely magnified. On the pitch, the saddest thing is not the boos of the opposing fans...... It's a humiliation from the fans of his own team. ”

'You're still growing up and what you need is a relaxed playing environment, plenty of game time, a harmonious dressing room atmosphere, patient coaches and fans, and if you come to Barça, I swear, it's all going to happen. If you don't want to...... I respect your choice, but I want to say that Diego has a point, you should stay in River Plate for the time being......"
