Kapa, who received Rafael's call, was also going to faint, and Capa smiled bitterly, should he be glad that his starting list has not been announced, otherwise he would have to waste a substitution at the beginning.

Capa came to the hospital and determined that Raphael did have a cold, and there was no luck at all - wind chill cold, pay attention to rest and treatment, and Raphael could recover in almost a week. But at this juncture, Kappa is depressed and blamed himself at the same time.

This is still Raphael himself found out and took the initiative to seek medical treatment, otherwise if he had an accident tomorrow, he would regret it for the rest of his life. The team doctor who received the notice was also very remorseful, and he obviously knew that Rafael's cold had nothing to do with the heavy rain. Normally, after the rain game, the medical team needs to pay close attention to the physical condition of the players, but Capa gave Rafael a few days off, and the team doctor also forgot to track Rafael's status......

Either way, it was a mistake on the part of their coaching staff and medical staff.

And Terri's mother, who knew at the latest, rushed to the hospital and didn't say anything, just looked at Raphael quietly, and saw that his already cold body was like being locked in a freezer, and even his breathing was about to freeze.

"Mom, I was wrong...... Raphael apologized for the first thing he said.

Terri smiled slightly, and her voice was soft: "Leo just called me to tell me......"

She paused, and Raphael coughed twice in fright: "He, you, mother, how did you get in touch?"

"Well, I wouldn't know anything if it weren't for him......" Terri smiled softer.

Raphael cried and said, "Mom, I was wrong! Don't ...... like that."

"Are you wrong? where are you wrong?" continued gently.

"I shouldn't have been mindful of my body, I shouldn't have been the first to inform you, I shouldn't have caught a cold and still wanted to ......play," Raphael said, becoming more and more vain.

Terri's face changed, and her tone was like a honey-coated ice ballast on Raphael: "Oh! so my son is so brave...... How could you be wrong?" she sat on the edge of his bed, touching his head.

Raphael swallowed and bowed his head: "I was wrong, I will never do this again in the future...... Mom, don't talk like that...... Ahem, I'm afraid. ”

At this time, Terri's voice finally returned to normal, but her eyes were full of sadness: "Raphael, I don't know if it's because I'm too used to you before, and the degree of freedom I gave you is too high, so that you are becoming more and more willful now...... I'm looking for a dedicated dietitian and a personal doctor for you, and in the future you will have routine check-ups twice a week, and you will not be allowed to eat anything that is not on the dietitian's recipe, and let me know as soon as there is any emergency, and if there is a next time, you will go to a broker again. You know, I'm your mother first, and then your agent...... Since becoming your agent, we have indeed spent less and less time together, and it is my fault that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. ”

Raphael's nose was sour, and he bowed his head: "No, mother." It's all my fault, and I will never do this in the future. ”

"Raphael, I want you to know that from the moment you were born, your life is not just for you alone, but also for your body, and you are responsible not only for yourself, but also for your family...... When you haven't found your significant other yet, you have to think about your parents, and if you have a wife and children, you should think about them...... Only children are qualified to be willful, but you are no longer a child. Do you know how hard it was for me and your dad to be when you had to recuperate at home because of an injury the year before last? I wish I was the one who was hurt. God willing, you're back on the pitch as you wish, I don't want you to be a superstar, I just want you to never get hurt again. ”

"This is the only thing I can expect from my child as a mother......" Terri's eyes turned red, and Raphael panicked.

By the time Terri left, Raphael had almost sworn that he would never joke with his body again. In any case, Terri, who has always been a strong woman and the image of a demon king, has left a deep enough impression on Raphael this time that it is impossible to repeat it in the short term.

The news of Raphael's admission to the hospital spread as soon as it came. At first, the gossip was messing around, what was the shower and wrestling at home, and the beard was robbed and depressed...... It really made people laugh and cry, and then the accurate reason - a cold appeared in the eyes of everyone, and many people's first reaction was to disbelieve it.

From the flash waist to the altitude sickness of 2000 meters, Raphael has always been so different. Well...... So what about an injury that isn't special enough and doesn't look like Rafael would get it at all?

Of course, these are other fans who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and River Plate fans really feel like dogs - no matter what kind of injury, they don't want to have anything to do with Rafael, okay?

There are also neutral fans who are eager to watch a good game, hoping that it is just a smoke bomb from the riverbed.

Even Santos coach Morrissey Ramalho's first reaction to the news was like this.

"Why didn't you have any signs before?" Although it was a little strange, Morrissey pondered it carefully, and still ruled out the possibility of Riverplate's trickery, in his opinion, Capa is not a coach who likes to do such small movements.

If the River Plate Angels can't play, that's good news for them.

"Cold?!" Neymar, who was chatting with his little girlfriend in the hotel room, heard the message from his teammates, and pressed the option to end the call in an excited way.

Neymar, who called up the Internet and swiped the news, was speechless.

The roommate laughed: "It seems that God is on our side of Santos, huh? Neymar, are you unhappy?"

Neymar gritted his teeth: "Happy? No, I just feel aggrieved!"

He dreamed of revenge! As a result, this kid was in trouble again! Let's say that this guy is a glass man, except for a sprain, there are no other injuries, and he is as strong as a cow, but he fell off the chain at a critical moment......

If Raphael appeared in front of him, he really asked if the other party did it on purpose.

After thinking about it, he posted on Facebook and privately messaged the other party: "You can't play tomorrow?!!!!" Well, the other party didn't lie on his blacklist a long time ago.

"Raphael, you really have a cold, what happened!" Raphael finally received a call from his best friend, and when he came to the hospital, his mobile phone was confiscated. This was received under the disapproving gaze of the assistant, and he had to turn in his phone again and go to bed obediently - it is said that this was given by Terri, and in order to give him a better rest, the assistant was also left by Terri.

"Ahem, that's what happened today......"

"Okay, it's really not the right time for you to catch a cold, but you still have to recuperate in peace, hum, see that we beat those Brazilians tomorrow with blood, laugh and cry back, and when you are well, you can come to collect people's heads!" This is probably the biggest characteristic of Lanzini, although he is not strong enough, he has a true inheritance of Ortega for treating enemies......

While Lamela's temper gradually relented, Lanzini's yellow card on the bench was almost broken......

At the beginning, the super derby Lanzini was also the first to rush out to fight for Rafael.

Rafael knew that his friend was comforting him, and his heart warmed, but he said with disgust: "What game are you playing again? Don't leak at the coach, how long do you want to stay in the players' dormitory." During this time, the competition was tense, and Lanzini was also caught by reporters in the nightclub waves, thrown into the youth dormitory by Capa, and if there is a next time, he will go directly back to the youth team.

Lanzini laughed dryly.

"You can't play, those Santos fans are going to be a pity. They arrived at the airport two hours ago, and it is said that there are six or seven thousand fans coming with the team, but unfortunately they can only come in with three thousand. ”

"I just hope they don't blame me......"

"What do you blame for? The last thing you want to get sick at this time is yourself. But unfortunately, you can't see the gifts that Santos fans have prepared for you. ”

"What do they want to do?" Raphael was a little puzzled.

Lanzini only smiled and didn't speak: "I knew you didn't know, you watched the live broadcast tomorrow, maybe you can see it." Okay, rest well, and I'll come back to see you after the game. ”

"No, what should I do if I get infected?"

Lanzini smiled slyly: "No, I'll just take a look at the window and leave." ”

Raphael was upset: "You really want to experience the feeling of visiting a prison!!Get out! Get out of here!"

After the call, Raphael also sent a text message to someone before the phone was confiscated: "You told my mother! Our friendship is over! This time it's true!"

Someone who received a text message: What did ??? do with him?

Later, the two talked about this matter again, and finally restored the whole thing.

This still originated from Messi's later call to Raphael was received by Terri, Mei Xiaoxi was still very alert, knowing that Raphael only needed to rest for a few days to treat a cold, and politely said goodbye to Terri without saying anything.

Who knew that Terri cheated casually, and Raphael confessed it all himself.

Messi is very depressed, he is not afraid of god-like opponents, he is afraid that he is a pig and dislikes his teammates are teammates of pigs!

After Capa's list of 18 came out the next day, the public finally confirmed that Rafael was indeed sick. Not only did he not make the starting line-up, but his name was not on the bench, and the fans were completely disappointed.

"The body is soft and easy to push down, and the cold is really unfortunate. I originally wanted the alarm clock to be set at three o'clock, but now I sleep until dawn......!"

"I'm ready to revise the number and timing of the team's Copa Libertadores triumph as soon as possible...... this is the grievance of River Plate fans......

"Is this good news or bad news......" is the Santos fan who wants to surprise Rafael.

Perhaps the most difficult person to understand is Maradona...... Dead boy, it's rare to praise you, and you repay me like this? Before the king decides that the results are out, he won't give any interviews - Raphael can always punch him in the face in a thousand strange poses!

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the next day, the game that was hyped before the game, but due to Rafael's absence, the media and fans were a little inexplicably weak.

Santos was supposed to be a remnant in the game, and Ganso, who was hailed by the Brazilians as the next Zidane, was absent due to injury, in addition to him, their captain Edu Blasena was suspended for a red card, and two defenders, Jonathan and Rafael Leao, were also unable to appear at the Monumental Stadium due to injury.

Overall, the situation was in River Plate's favour, so Kappa had hoped to build enough of an advantage at home, but now he had to be cautious. Another winger, Caruso, took Rafael's place, leading the pitch with Lamela and Pavoni, and the midfield was a back three: Chiligano, Acevedo and Afrancino. Captain Almeida was automatically suspended for accumulating yellow cards. With Medana returning from injury at the back, River Plate's backfield remains the same.

Capa opted for an offensive and defensive lineup to prevent Santos from taking the offense.

However, Santos's forward core Neymar is obviously a little interested, I don't know if it was because Rafael didn't come or Ganso didn't come, in short, his whole performance was above the passing line, but it didn't reach the point of being amazing.

On the contrary, the River Plate players were excited by the arrival of the national team head coach Batista.

Argentine commentator Carroll was a little confused: "Since Milito withdrew from the national team squad due to injury, River Plate fans have a high demand for Angels to appear in the Copa America on homesoil, but today Rafael missed this game due to a cold, and Batista obviously couldn't have come to inspect the Angels...... Is it necessary to inspect goalkeeper Carrizo? Or is it ...... He has someone else in mind?"

Although Batista spent most of the game talking to River Plate president Passarella, it still didn't stop the River Plate players from playing chicken. After all, it is in front of the head coach of the national team, even if Carrizo, who has already decided to go to the Copa America, he hopes to continue to make a good impression in front of him, let alone others. Even if you can't make it to the national team this time, what about the next time? Maybe today's impression will be crucial.

It was this excitement that River Plate, which had the advantage of being at home, once suppressed Santos.

In the 15th minute of the game, Pavonila sent a cross from the side, and Caruso grabbed the spot in the middle to shoot.

The ball was tipped off the crossbar by Santos goalkeeper Rafael Cabral for a corner. And so a second attack on River Plate followed.

In the corner, Maidana's header was headed over, Cabraal struck it with one hand, Ferrari raised his foot to make up for it, and River Plate took the lead!

It was a goal that could be said to have been scored by River Plate, because of this corner, they pressed almost everyone, except Carrizo.

The hard work still paid off, which also made River Plate even more excited. In the first half, Santos barely fought back, and in the last three minutes, Acevedo passed directly to the right side of the penalty zone in the midfield, and Lamela almost formed a single knife, but unfortunately Cavral made a timely save, and River Plate failed to extend the score.

However, the situation changed from the beginning of the second half, and the good national team effect in the first half allowed River Plate to start fighting on its own in the second half. And the lazy Neymar on Santos's side began to exert force.

In the 48th minute, Neymar cut into the forbidden area on the left side and passed back, Alex Sandro shot with his left foot and was blocked by Carrizo, Elano took a tactical corner kick on the left side, Sandro hung the forbidden area diagonally, and Bruno Rodrygo shook his head at the penalty spot and hit the crossbar. Not long after, Neymar made a return to the left side of the penalty area, and Sandro's low shot from 16 yards in front of goal was again parried by Carrizo.

Santos then had a back-to-back of chances, with Ciligliano also receiving a yellow card for pulling Neymar's shirt. In the 76th minute, Santos pulled the score back, Neymar passed the ball on the left, Elano volleyed back after a low shot from the periphery, Ze Eduardo stopped the ball and walked past the defender and scored with a left-footed volley from 11 meters in front of the goal.

The goal also brought River Plate to their senses, and the two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw.

This result is strangely satisfying for fans on both sides. For Santos, it is not easy to draw away from home, and it is also very beneficial for them to play away and then home. For River Plate, as long as Rafael can make it to the second round of the final, their confidence will always be there!

On the third day of quarantine, Rafael expressed his blessings to the team on social platforms, and he also saw Neymar's private message.

Raphael saw the other party's thoughts at a glance, and he replied with a few big words in a good mood: "Wash it and wait!"
