Chapter 15
Raphael looked a little uncomfortable when he dined, and although his movements were still very elegant, he was obviously much sluggish, which caused Pezzella to look at him frequently.
"You don't feel right today, Raphael. ”
Raphael smiled weakly, but didn't say anything, he was really restless now.
Because he had just seen that Maradona had come in with the players for the first time! Oh my God! Although Maradona had been mingling with his disciples in training, it was because with his lofty and unlimited status in Argentina, there was no need to defend his majesty as a coach without smiling. But during meal time, he would not appear in the restaurant, and Raphael felt that he did not want his disciples to feel constrained by him, after all, no matter how good the relationship was, he was also the manager. Of course, more importantly, the coach definitely doesn't eat nutritious meals like them, if he eats a lot of fish and meat, they eat spaghetti pitifully, which is so sad. So he and the coaching staff will choose to eat elsewhere.
But no matter how many reasons there are, they can't compare to the facts, he's here today!
Raphael was like seeing a ghost. Especially when the black waiter took out the autograph book again and handed it to the large crowd of them...... Dear, do you want to be so dedicated.
Maradona was obviously a little surprised, and then frowned, as if asking something, Raphael and Pezzella were sitting outside, through a layer of glass, so they didn't hear clearly. Later he watched Maradona take the autograph book, and then did not come in to eat, and went out with the black waiter.
Why did Raphael pay so much attention to this...... That's right, that autograph book is the idea he came up with...... He originally planned to put the book away in the past two days, so as not to have many dreams at night, who knows that people are not as good as the sky, and on the whim of Maradona, his plan will be ruined......
Not only did he lose the soup, but he himself was probably going to be unlucky......
I don't know the taste of food at a meal.
"I think I did something stupid, Herman. Raphael sighed and stood up.
"Uh-huh, what?" Pezzella looked confused as she walked out, "What are you going to do?"
"Fight for leniency!" said Raphael, grieved.
Rafael felt that this would definitely be a stain on him for the rest of his life, especially when he found the manager to explain the situation, Batista, who was drinking water, almost squirted the water, and finally coughed for a long time, looking at him speechlessly. But Batista looked at his pitiful eyes, and swallowed the words that he wanted to reprimand harshly, and finally waved his hand: "Let's go, talk to Diego." ”
Maradona was arguing with the managers of the HPC Sports Center that the autograph book was a trick made by his employees on the basis of their authority, much to his annoyance, and he was furious when he was pulled out by Batista.
"How shameless to come up with such a shameless way to get an autograph, this time to sign, what will happen next time? Sergio, I have to warn them!"
Raphael broke out in a cold sweat and once again mourned his stupidity.
After Raphael confessed, the long-standing Ma Dashuai would also live for a long time.
"The way you want to sign is very creative, little ghost!" Maradona was amused.
"What are you here for? Are you here to chase stars? Who gave you the courage to assume my name? When did the little imp in River Plate be so bold?!"
"I was wrong, I'm sorry. Raphael hung his head and apologized, he had never been so embarrassed as he was today, but he had to bear the consequences of what he did, no matter how embarrassing he was.
After all, Raphael only wanted to sign and didn't do anything more excessive, but Maradona felt that his authority was offended, especially when he was angry with HPC managers just now, but in the end it was his own internal mistake, which made him feel very embarrassed, so he was particularly annoyed.
After scolding, Raphael was summoned into the team by Batista, and Maradona crossed his arms and stopped talking.
"Train twice as much as tomorrow, and if there's a next time, go straight home with your luggage! Now, run twenty laps and go!" Batista grimaced as he pointed to the pitch outside.
Although it seems that the punishment is very severe, it is actually not heavy for Raphael, who practices every day, Batista cherishes Raphael's talent in the end and does not want to punish him too heavily, although he doesn't understand how Raphael looks very smart and does such a convulsive thing.
Raphael walked out, took two steps and came back.
His face turned crimson: "So, Mr. Maradona, can you give me that signature book?"
Batista was dizzy, and looked at Raphael like a psychopath.
However, what Raphael thought was that his face had been lost anyway, and the punishment had been there, and if he had returned the bamboo basket to draw water, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
Maradona smiled, he squinted at Raphael: "Hey, riverbed imp, you're really fat." Did you think you were in the national team too early?"
Raphael looked at him very innocently, not that he pretended to be innocent, but when he didn't smile, he pursed his lips, his eyes were big, and his black pupils looked very pure, with his clean and handsome face, it was difficult for people to feel bad, and in this situation, he would look particularly innocent.
Maradona picked up the autograph book and shook it: "That's it, I've read your report, the youth echelon has 22 goals in 9 games, which is really amazing, in front of others, you may be a genius, but in front of me, you are nothing, you know?! The smile on his face disappeared and he looked very stern.
Raphael was really aggrieved this time: "I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean to disrespect you." One wrong step and one wrong step, his impression in the eyes of the football king seems to have fallen directly to the minus.
But Maradona didn't want to deal with him anymore: "Do you want this autograph book? Then let's make a bet, tomorrow the first team will have a warm-up match with you, as long as you play and score two goals, even if you win, I will reward you with this autograph book, if you don't score a goal, you will lose, you can go home first and lie in bed and watch the World Cup comfortably, how about it? Boy, aren't you very bold, dare you bet?"
Batista was speechless: "Diego, he's just a kid. "Why are you messing around?
As a result, what made him even more speechless was that Raphael actually nodded: "Okay, I'll bet." Then he added, "But Mr. Maradona, I really don't disrespect you." ”
His refreshing response impressed Maradona, but he didn't think the other party was arrogant, because Maradona himself was a very confident person, and he only snorted coldly about it: "Stinky little ghost, don't cry tomorrow." ”
Raphael apologized and walked out.
Batista glared: "Don't go the other way, the stadium is over there, twenty laps, one lap can't be less!"
"I want to apologize to the waiter first, I made a mistake and he was implicated, I'm sorry...... I'll run after apologizing, coach. ”
Batista hates that iron is not steel: "You don't have to worry about it, hurry up and run in circles!" This kid can't protect himself, and he still has the leisure to apologize to others. Batista was by him. If there is an internal problem, they will definitely not publicize it to outsiders, so this matter can only end with a coach on the coaching staff who forgot to inform Maradona.
This kid ...... Alas, this incident should be a lesson, I hope he can reflect on it when he goes back, and he can't make such a mistake in the future.
Obviously, Batista didn't think Raphael could win, not only couldn't win, but he would also roll up and go home......
