In the hotel, Raphael received a text message from Messi: "I'm waiting for you in Japan. He smiled and put his phone in his bag.

In the room, Lamela, who came in early, didn't take off her shoes, so she casually leaned on the bed and flipped through a palm book, saw his eyelids lifted, and fell back into the book: "There is no hot water in the shower, I have already called to report for repair, don't go to the shower first." ”

Because Lamela and Rafael are now regular partners, Capa may want to have a better relationship in private, and they will be more tacit on the court, and they are basically roommates when arranging rooms, which makes Lanzini very sad.

So the occasional exception was that Capa couldn't stand the resentful look of Ranzini, and arranged the two of them in the same room.

Pezzella also joked that in this case, Mr. must make rounds.

However, Raphael was very puzzled, and he would not play games with his best friends.

"Oh......" Hearing this, Raphael folded the clothes in his hand and stuffed them back into his bag, a little strange, "How can there be no hot water?"

"I don't know. ”

"Okay......" Although the relationship between the two has improved a lot with the friendship of practicing free kicks together every day, Rafael is still sometimes frozen by Lamela's habitual coldness.

Raphael washed two apples and handed one to Lamela, who took it very easily: "Thank you." ”

After eating an apple, the maintenance personnel had not yet arrived, and the bored Raphael looked around and stared at the book in Lamela's hand again: "What are you looking at? Eric?"

Lamela flipped through the booklet and showed him the cover: "Similarities and differences between Italian and Spanish." ”

"What is this? Are you learning a language?" Raphael reacted, he looked at Lamela with wide eyes, surprised, "You've already decided?"

Lamela bowed slightly: "When this game is over, the contract will be officially finalized." ”

Raphael was stunned, and the meaning of this sentence was that no matter what the outcome, he would choose to leave.

This season, the club did not bring in reinforcements, and River Plate's youth team began to shine. Rafael knows that apart from him, not to mention the first team, even the reserve players are coveted by many European clubs, and under him, the most sought after is Lamela.

But he doesn't even pay attention to his own transfer news, let alone others.

"Is there a club in Serie A? Which one is it? Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Napoli?"

"Rome, in the capital of Italy. Caniggia, Balbo and Batistuta have all played there. ”

"Oh......"

'They were very sincere and they were watching me for a long time, I wanted to go to Spain but only Roma could give me plenty of playing time. ”

"Oh, that's good...... So, is there anything else Rome has to offer?"

Lamela paused, "Rome is best known for its art. When he was alive, the Mother of All Things was afraid that he would override her work, and when he died, she was afraid that she would die herself...... Do you know who you're talking about?"

Lamela closed the book, obviously not wanting his answer: "The repair hasn't come yet, you go to the front desk to urge it." ”

Raphael: "......" He still prefers the tsundere Eric from before......

Rafael knew he was disliked, so he turned around, but before leaving the door, he said: "We may not be teammates next season, but now we can use this trophy to crown us." ”

Lamela looked at the gently closed door and whispered, "I'm waiting for you in Europe, this time, I won't let you cover my light again......"

It's not that Rafael can't speak, but he doesn't like the atmosphere of parting, and when he hears that his familiar teammates will go their separate ways next season, although he sincerely wishes him, his mood is still inevitably a little melancholy.

He went downstairs to the front desk to respond to the problem, so he didn't go back to his room and went to his friend.

Pezzella and Lanzini lived together, and when Raphael went, the two were taking a selfie and talking on a phone call.

When they saw Raphael, they were both surprised: "Why are you here? Are you going to eat?"

Rafael briefly explained the situation, and Lanzini pouted: "As far as I know, if the club doesn't object or stop it, next season you know, there will probably be five or six people left in the first team, don't you have to leave? ”

He threw a wink at Pezzella, who gave him a blank look, but his expression was a little worried: "I hope the club will pay off its debts and can add some players, otherwise the team will be miserable next season." ”

Lanzini laughed at him: "Captain's heart, substitute." ”

Pezzella was not angry: "What's that, anyway, my dream is to fight for the riverplate, if I can, I hope to be here for the rest of my life, you are all gone, the riverbed must be guarded by someone, and then I will take over your popularity, hahahaha." ”

"Come on, your position is too coquettish. The full-backs can still insert an assist, but what can the centre-backs do? Countless tackles can't withstand a single mistake, and it's good not to be booed. Lanzini snorted.

Rafael: "Don't be like Manu, there is still a chance to become famous, for example, an own goal. ”

The rampaging Pezzella relied on his size and beat up the two children who were underdrawn, Lanzini was short and flexible, Raphael was miserable, and became the target of the key fat beating, Raphael begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, it's not an oolong, you put your big feet out of the siege and practice, and then specialize in the world wave!"

After the break, all the staff assembled, they will go to the Pacaembo Stadium in São Paulo for field adaptation, River Plate's away jersey is a red and white sword stripe shirt and red shorts, if the home jersey is more elegant, then the away jersey is less elegant and more stable.

Raphael touched his chin and felt more handsome.

When I got on the bus from the hotel, the entrance was already surrounded by fans and reporters, and some reporters shouted: "Rafael, do you have any thoughts on this game, do you have anything to say?"

Raphael, who was named, waved his hand: "Do we have any other ideas than to take away the trophy? Oh yes, I want to say that I hope that when I come back, the hot water supply in our room will be back to normal." ”

The Argentine reporter's eyes lit up, and he had already typed a draft in his heart "The angel who has recovered from his illness is not afraid of the scene, and the poor hotel facilities in Brazil have caused complaints"

The Brazilian journalist was unhappy with his previous sentence: "Do you think you can take the trophy away from home?"

"It's not me, it's us. Raphael corrected, feeling a little surprised: "And what does this have to do with pride, doesn't Santos think so? That's really good news." ”

The Argentine journalist burst out laughing, the Brazilian journalist choked up before he could think of a word, and Rafael had already been pulled away by his teammates.

Capa glared at Raphael helplessly, but he didn't say anything, the angel treats reporters as he wants, which his mother can't control.

Almeida patted the seat beside her, and Raphael looked behind her, and Ai Ai sat down.

Almeida touched his head: "Rafael, you put the words here, if you can't get the trophy back, we will keep you in Brazil." ”

Raphael shook his body: "Captain, this is not good. ”

The teammates laughed and the atmosphere became a lot more lively.

Almeida was satisfied, and he found that with or without Rafael, the atmosphere in the team was completely different.

Since Rafael's illness, the team has been in a serious and tense environment, although the team drew with Santos at home, but the strength of the opponent's second half still makes them very jealous, the closer to the championship, the more they suffer from gains and losses, even if it is a veteran of the battlefield, the string in their hearts is tight, they don't want to watch the news, let alone be stopped by reporters for interviews, which will make them irritable.

But Rafael is different, he is a big player, the more important the game, the more excited, never seem to know what nervousness is, let alone fear. And it has to be said that although Rafael's presence has stolen most of the team's scenery, the pressure is also equal. Think about Rafael not being there before, his pressure is distributed to everyone, how terrible the team's low pressure is, and every move is observed by the media with a magnifying glass. But now, the pressure is back on Raphael, but his liveliness has not changed at all.

Oh no, it seems to be even more underwhelming.

After adapting to the venue, the words of winning the championship outside the Rafael Hotel have spread throughout Brazil, causing them to be more warmly "welcomed" when they returned, and Rafael, who was still unsatisfied after bouncing back from the stadium, also waved to them very enthusiastically, just like a leader inspecting, almost causing a riot, but fortunately, Lamela's curtains were drawn quickly......

Brazilian: MD, the last time I saw this dead kid, I wasn't so arrogant......

Teammate: Looks like Rafael is really excited......

No, it's been more than half a month since Rafael last competed, and he can't wait.

That night, Rafael's performance was cut into the show by Brazilian television, and the host called on Santos to give the arrogant kid a little color and make him cry and go back to Argentina.

If Messi is the favorite Argentine player of the Brazilian people, then Rafael, who is Messi's good friend, has gone in the direction of the most unpopular player......

River Plate's coaching staff didn't bother with the media, and it was enough for them to know that it didn't affect Rafael. They are still deliberating on their starting line-up for the next day, and they are still divided on whether to start Rafael.

"Since his return the day before yesterday, his physical function has shown that everything is normal, and the amount of training he has gradually recovered has been completed very well. "I think he's totally fit to start. ”

"After all, it didn't take long for the cold to get better, so I thought it was better to be on the bench to be on the safe side. Another assistant coach, Haines, suggested.

"No, just look at how excited he is today, he's been looking forward to this game for a long time, he's not fit, it's not appropriate to put him on the bench. Hector, who has been following Rafael since the beginning of the youth team, disagreed, "We should believe him, and don't let him play, who should let him play?" Caruso's breakthrough means are too simple, the benefits brought to the team are too small, in the second half of the last round, he did almost nothing, 90 minutes, why waste half of the time?"

"I also think it's better to put him in the best shape for the second half than to put him in the first half. Offensive coach Cleveland said, "After all, we can't guarantee that he will be physically fit to play the whole game. ”

Kappa has a headache and the more important the game, the more cautious he becomes, but now, apparently, even the coaching staff is starting to suffer a little bit from what is going on.
