With River Plate reaching the Copa Libertadores final, Rafael, who was getting deeper and deeper into the transfer scandal, was also disturbed, and he made a statement through Terri's mother that his pre-season commitment to the fans was still valid. At the same time, the club also issued a notice that at the moment they will not accept any offer for Rafael, and they will not even look at it.
However, the statements of the two sides have sunk the hearts of many Argentines into the abyss, because it means that Rafael will leave River Plate after winning the Copa Libertadores, which is almost a foregone conclusion.
Even Boca fans said in an interview: "We're going to have more reason to support Santos, oh God forbid, River Plate won't win that damn title!" I don't want to admit it, but if we don't see that little guy next season, there will be a lot less fun in the league." ”
In a recent interview, Maradona criticized the River Plate club: "No one can take him as long as they don't want to." If they have the slightest foresight, they should know that the sooner they sell Raphael, the greater the loss. If you want me to say, Rafael's biggest mistake was to choose River Plate, he should be in Boca, Boca can keep that fearless courage. Riverplate ruined him!"
In the face of questioning, Mr. Ball King, who couldn't hide his words, shook Rafael's signature incident in the World Cup in South Africa clean, and unlike the anger at the beginning, he said in an appreciative tone at this time: "I was deeply impressed by his courage and self-confidence. ”
But as soon as the conversation changed, Maradona scolded him again, "But now he is losing his most important quality." It would be a disappointment to me if he chose to leave just because of one unfair treatment. He has experienced too few things, so he will take his future to be willful! What he should do now is to continue to temper and enrich himself in China, strengthen his physical strength and mental quality, and wait until the conditions are ripe before choosing to leave. ”
"Actually, I think Diego likes you very much," Messi smiled, "although he didn't say it, but it can be seen that he also sees you as his successor." ”
Raphael put down the cup in his hand and was speechless: "I like to come out and scold me from time to time." Also, I don't want to be anyone's successor. ”
"The successor of the king of the ball, huh? ”
The corners of Raphael's mouth curled: "No need, what should be mine is mine." ”
Messi paused for turning the steak in his hand, looked up at Raphael, the young man had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were full of arrogance, and he suddenly thought about it.
Rafael continued: "I didn't choose to leave because I was angry, conquering a mountain and climbing higher, isn't it normal?
'But you didn't pick the timing well, if there wasn't a derby, your transfer would have been normal, it was purely athletic, but now it's ...... It's not the same. Messi saw Raphael pouting, "Okay, okay, you probably don't care about any of that." But, as I said before, it's not good to go to Europe too early. You may think that what I said before doesn't matter because you've been in such good form and you can easily get the love of the coach and the fans, but ...... Have you ever wondered what you're going to do if you get a serious injury before your body is fully formed? It could ruin your whole life! And once you get back in shape after the injury, everything I said before will happen...... That's why I said, if you are sure that you want to transfer, La Liga is the best league for you, and Barcelona is the best club for you. If you want to have more options, then wait until your body is ready to take on the challenge. ”
Raphael stared at Messi's eyes without saying a word, and Messi touched his nose, "What are you looking at me for?"
Raphael: "Leo, I look at you like I see my mother. ”
Messi's black line: "Rafael!"
Rafael waved his hand: "Don't get excited, I know you're thinking about me, but do you know? Actually, my mother didn't approve of my transfer, at the beginning she applied for German citizenship for me just to press the AFA, make them a little more restrained, and at the same time prepare me for the future...... She doesn't want me to leave at the end of the season, for the same reasons you do. ”
What do you think about "then ......"?
Raphael smiled at him: "I'll talk about it when I'm done in the final." ”
Messi once again felt that he was really the emperor and the eunuch was not in a hurry...... He shoved the roast that had been served on Raphael's plate into his mouth and took a hard bite.
Raphael was anxious: "Mine, this is mine!"
"Bake it yourself. "Messi was angry.
Rafael stopped talking, looked at him pitifully, and within half a minute, Messi surrendered......
Messi packed food for him and sighed heavily: "I don't even know what I'm anxious about, my brother who gets into trouble all day long, I haven't worried so much......"
"Because you're a good man!" Raphael said, cutting the meat into small pieces, dipping it in a delicious sauce, and putting it in his mouth, "Well, that's great!"
Messi's resentment disappeared, and he smiled proudly: "Yes, I'll just say that my skills are good." ”
"Burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, the mouth is fragrant, well, on par with Matthias's craftsmanship!"
Messi's face fell.
"Leo~, please grill me some more fish!"
"You don't have a good appetite, eat less!" Messi snorted.
While the two were eating barbecue, Messi suddenly thought of something: "If River Plate wins the Copa Libertadores and you don't transfer away, maybe we will have a chance to play each other next season." ”
"Well, what is that? We're going to play a friendly match?" Raphael was puzzled.
"Club World Cup, don't you know?" Messi gave Rafael the science of the tournament, and continued, "The Club World Cup in '09 was played by Barcelona and Estudiantes de La Plata, and then we won the six crowns. ”
Messi was very proud, but when he thought of what happened later, his mood was a little low, "But the domestic fans hate me even more." ”
As soon as Messi said this, Rafael also remembered, he seemed to have seen the relevant news. At that time, he was busy recuperating from his injuries, and he just swept away these things, so he didn't think about them for a while.
That was after Messi led Barcelona to win the Club World Cup with a victory over the University team, and the fans of the University team threw all the reasons for the team's failure on Messi's head, so they took to the streets to insult Messi, and even some extreme fan organizations even played nakedPhysical threats of nudity.
At that time, Lanzini still sighed with him and expressed deep sympathy for Messi. Rafael also felt that these fans were a little unreasonable, treating the number one star of the national team so harshly, and the wins and losses between clubs actually rose to the point of letting Messi get out of the national team.
And why the Argentines are so harsh on Messi, this is also a question that Rafael still does not understand.
He didn't know how to comfort Messi, so he had to say: "Don't worry, this won't happen again, the fans of River Plate will like you, because as long as I'm here, the championship is mine." ”
Messi rolled his eyes: "This love is too heavy, I don't want it! I want to compete with me for the championship, hum, dream!"
Raphael finished eating a grilled fish and was almost full.
Messi, who always feels that he has eaten a cow, is incredible: "It seems that your appetite is really bad, that's a pity, the barbecue I made by myself is very rare." ”
"With the first time, will the second time be far away?" said Raphael.
Messi glanced at him: "There is no next time, you better go to your Matthias to help you bake." ”
"Oh...... Don't be like that, Leo, you've baked the best. Rafael puffed and "knelt down" in front of Messi's craftsmanship.
After eating and drinking, the two were ready to leave, and the restaurant's service staff told them that the door was already surrounded by Messi's fans and that the restaurant could arrange for them to leave through the back door.
"Looks like you were spotted when you came in. Raphael snickered, seeing how well he disguised himself, and didn't even mention him.
"How long have they waited?" asked Messi.
The waiter said that not long after they came, fans gathered, and then more and more people came.
Messi looked at the time, it was almost two hours, he refused the restaurant's kindness, and decided to go out to meet these fans, after all, these people have been waiting for him for so long.
He looked at Raphael, and he said he was going to send Raphael back.
Raphael didn't mind delaying for a while, and was quite interested: "Let's go, let's go out together, just to test my camouflage skills." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his hat and fake beard.
Messi: "......"
It really hurts my eyes...... "Don't talk about the fans, you don't even recognize ...... mother"
The two went downstairs one after the other, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see that fifty or sixty fans were quietly waiting at the door and on both sides of the restaurant, and some people couldn't stop looking inside, these people were the first to find Messi, causing a commotion, and soon someone took out their mobile phones and aimed them at him.
With a burst of calls for "Messi", Messi pursed his lips and smiled at them, and led Rafael out with him.
However, Raphael's disguise is really very good, and no one looks at him, everyone sees Messi and rushes towards him, and some people even want to touch him, but as soon as they see Raphael, these people are tied up again, I don't know if they use him as Messi's bodyguard.
While Messi met the fans' requests for autographs and group photos, he seemed to see Rafael's smug little eyes.
As Messi became more and more people around him, the Rafael bouncer who had no substantive movements became less and less of a threat in the eyes of fans, and he was soon pushed aside by the crowd.
The bored Raphael yawned, and then he heard a hurried high-pitched voice: "Long live Rosario Central! You damn Newells guy! You have no feelings for the national team at all!"
At the same time, a hoodie man raised his arm and swung it at Messi's head, and Rafael rushed forward with an arrow step that he didn't think of, he pulled the opponent's arm down with one hand, and then raised his knee high, almost in the blink of an eye, he cut the opponent's hands back, and pressed him to the ground.
"Who are you, what do you want to do?" Raphael asked in a cold voice, frowning.
The man who was pressed below couldn't stop writhing, and Raphael noticed that this was still a fairly young boy, and his strength was loosened.
I don't know if he feels that the current situation makes him a little embarrassed, the young man's face is red, but he doesn't say a word.
At this time, I don't know where a voice came, "Messi's bodyguards are beating people!"
Raphael was stunned, this can't mean him, right?
Messi pursed his lips tightly, walked over quickly, and was about to speak, but the boy who was pressed on the ground had already taken the opportunity to break free of Raphael's clamps, and the embarrassed boy got up from the ground and waved his hand at Raphael's face, Raphael leaned back and dodged quickly, but his face was not harmed, and his beard was torn off.
The boy was visibly nervous, he didn't even notice what he was doing, grabbed his beard and almost instinctively turned around and ran.
The fake beard was sticky, and the sound of "Zrazla" made Raphael feel like his face had been scratched away as he pulled it.
He was furious, covered his face, pointed at the boy and shouted, "Beard, my beard, bastard! You give me my beard back!"
Messi, who had an ugly face just now because of a series of changes, had a more exciting face now, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but bend down and laugh.
Raphael...... You're such a talent!"
Where did this ability to turn bad things into fun come from......
The melon-eating crowd who didn't know the truth had turned into a group of statues at this time.
