This scoop goal was a huge blow for Santos. As Rafael comforted his teammates, no matter how good Santos's advantage was, a goal came back, the score was equalized, the two sides were back to the same starting point again, and River Plate's morale was back because of the frustration at the beginning.

In the Santos team, the most hit is goalkeeper Rafael. The new goalkeeper with the same name as Angels, the experience is also very similar to him, he was also forced to rest for 6 months in the youth team due to a broken leg bone, and he also appeared in the first team last year, and he also sat firmly in the main team in a short period of time and shined in this year.

Physically, mentally mature, and daring to take on leadership responsibilities at the back to command his team-mates on the pitch, Rafael Cavral has gradually been hailed by the media as one of the best goalkeepers in South America. With Santos soaring in the Copa Libertadores, many European clubs have begun to pay attention to him, and the young goalkeeper is now only 21 years old.

However, the cannons between Brazil and Argentina undoubtedly hurt the self-esteem of this genius, and even the domestic media, when it comes to Rafael, forget that there is another him in the team...... It's sad to think about.

This game is also the battle of the young goalkeeper's name, he has long thought about it, there is no point in talking about it, strength is the foundation, he wants to keep a clean sheet against the opponent in this game, let everyone see, Rafael is not just for angels!

It's a pity that in the first round of the competition, he lost to Raphael's unreasonable cards.

In terms of psychological quality, it seems that angels are superior.

But in reality, Cabraal guessed the reason correctly, but guessed the process wrong, and ultimately underestimated himself.

Rafael just took advantage of the situation, because the timing was urgent, he wanted to volley directly when he shot, and Cabraal obviously predicted his intentions, but at that moment, Edu turned to catch up again, and in order to disrupt his shot, he stealthily dragged him.

This made Raphael's posture a little unstable, his strength shifted, and in a flash of inspiration, he simply changed his volley to a spoon.

He has already carved elegance into his bones, and his every move seems so natural, without letting anyone see that this is forced by the situation, only thinking that this goal comes from his daring from the beginning to the end.

Even the Brazilian commentator is lamenting that it was Cabraal's mistake.

However, Raphael didn't have to be coquettish for long, and he was soon surrounded by a group of excited teammates.

Neymar stood in the center circle with his waist crossed, waiting for the kick-off, his face did not have the arrogance of the previous goal, but with a hint of contemplation. Rafael escaped from the crowd with a bird's nest on his head, he walked over while pulling his hair, his gaze swept over the Santos generals, and finally fixed on Neymar, smiled slightly, and pointed to the Santos goal: "One after another." ”

His tone was very calm, not even emotional, more like a simple repetition of Neymar's words before, but he succeeded in making the faces of the Santos people who heard it change, and Neymar's face became even darker, and his partner, Ze Eduardo, who was about to kick off, lowered his head and spit, and cursed in a low voice.

The scolding was a little ugly, and although Raphael heard it, his expression did not change.

Rafael's teammates were a little surprised, because they rarely saw Rafael take the initiative to speak provocatively on the field.

The game continued, because Rafael had just counterattacked like a swift wind, Santos's right side obviously became a lot more conservative, especially Danilo, he didn't dare to break away from his defensive area as he did before, Rafael's activity curbed Santos's wing attack, but similarly, the over-reliance on Rafael's River Plate did not find a good time.

However, the equaliser made Riverplate relax a lot.

In the 26th minute, Santos failed to attack and River Plate attacked again, but when the ball reached the feet of midfielder Acevedo, it was swept away by a flying tackle from Arouca, who was close to him, before the ball rolled to Elano's feet. Elano wanted to pass the ball at the first time, but was brought to the ground by the equally decisive Almeida. Because his movements were as clean as Arouca's flying tackles, the River Plate captain didn't get a foul.

Elano throws the throw-in, which Ganso steps up to meet. Afrancino wanted to stop the ball first, but Ganso was one of the Santos twins after all, and he didn't panic, and after receiving the ball with his left foot, he hooked his ankle, and the ball went over his head, and a beautiful back picked up the ball over the top, landing at the feet of Leao not far behind him, as if he had long eyes in the back of his head, causing the home fans to cheer loudly.

Leao, who got the ball, didn't want to run wild with the ball, and after causing a block from Ferrero and Almeida, he took a kick and crossed.

Once again, the ball landed at the feet of Gayso, who had been quickly inserted.

Ganso looked around and opted for a high ball, but Eduardo was hit by Maidana when he headed the ball, causing the ball to not fall at the feet of his teammate, but in the gap on the left side of the penalty zone, Neymar quickly came to pick it up, but was cleared by Medana.

The ball was back at Acevedo's feet.

Santos immediately made a defensive gesture, but this time, River Plate did not continue to attack the left side, but took Santos by surprise, passing the ball to the feet of Rafael, who suddenly got rid of the marking and turned to the middle, Rafael pulled directly to the right, and then drove straight in, this scene made the hearts of Santos fans rise to the throat.

But Santos's reaction was still very fast, Leao turned around and chased back, the gray-haired veteran is about to celebrate his 36th birthday, but looking at his cunning rabbit posture, the speed is not much worse, but compared to Rafael, even if Rafael carries the ball, he can only follow the angel farts and eat ashes.

Raphael's speed has always been the kind where you think he's as fast as he is.

Santos was clearly on his toes, with the backline all moving towards him, and Adriano rushing straight at the tackle, which was very dangerous for the ball dribbler at high speed, but where would the adrenaline-pumping home fans sympathize with their opponents, they would only clench their fists and shout: "Stop him!"

Now the hearts are in their throats and the eyes are the River Plate fans, whether the attack is stopped or the angels are splattered on the spot, it is not the result they want.

However, Rafael's quick stop made them breathe a sigh of relief, but poor Adriano's quick tackle was uncontrollable, and the beautiful turf sent him all the way to the boundary billboard, and he almost fell on the green ground to stop the accident. It happened to be where the riverbed fans were, and Adriano received a warm "welcome" and expressed regret that he was able to get up safely.

However, Adriano managed to disrupt Rafael's rhythm, and by the time the angels accelerated again, Santos' two centre-backs and Danilo had already filled in their positions.

Seeing this, Rafael slowed down, and when Lamela got in, he picked the ball up the middle, crossed over Dulvall, and landed at Lamela's feet. The presence of Lamela made the Santos defence a little hesitant.

In particular, Lamela did not kick the ball, but took a few steps, and after Rafael shook off the markers again, he knocked the ball back to Rafael.

This made Santos all their hearts lift, and Morrissy's advice set off an alarm in their minds.

I'd rather let his teammates get the ball than let this guy shoot!

At this time, the Santos backcourt scene was a bit touching, and the defenders chased Rafael like bees smelling flowers.

Rafael can't face the three defenders and the goalkeeper's key marking, after all, a flash of inspiration is a flash of inspiration, and the one who has kept a flash of inspiration is not a person, it is Superman, he took this string of tails, and once again chose a very good time to pass.

Carroll was excited: "Raphael chose to pass, chance! Lamela is in a very good position!"

However, Lamela is not a full-time goalscorer, and his shot is still a bit off Rafael's, and although he chooses a tricky angle as much as possible, Cavral still showed his reflexes as a good goalkeeper to atone for the last goal he conceded, and the ball hit his glove and flew off the line.

Kavral got up, shook his fist vigorously, and roared angrily, as if venting something.

Although Raphael had some regrets, he still sent a comforting hug to Lamela for the first time.

River Plate also failed to take advantage of the next corner, Rafael has never been good at heading, he can only pick up the miss, but the ball is headed out by Danilo.

Santos, who had readjusted their mentality, continued to attack, but they were unable to reopen the scoreline, and Ze Eduardo's low shot from 25 yards was met by Carrizo.

In the 31st minute, Arouca successfully took the ball and passed the ball to Ganso, under the pressure of Lamela, Ganso fell to the ground and tackled, Neymar responded, but before he could make the next move, he was pulled down by the rushing Afrancino, and the ball rolled out of bounds. Neymar got up and glared at Afrancino, who was holding back a fire from the beginning, he was not a person who was afraid of things, and immediately glared back, the referee hurriedly ran over and showed a yellow card to Afrancino, his foul action was still more obvious, and Santos also got a free kick from the edge of the forbidden area.

Elano took the penalty again when his free-kick went over the wall, only to be tipped over the bar again by a highly focused Carriço.

The frightened River Plate fans erupted in cheers.

This made Neymar feel very bad, especially watching Rafael give Carrizo a thumbs up, which was really glaring.

"It's not enough to foul it!" the Brazilian commentator taunted River Plate.

However, a minute later, when Rafael was pulled to the ground by Dulval in exactly the same motion outside the forbidden zone, the Brazilian commentator: "The angel of River Plate is so weak that he can't help the wind, Durgall definitely didn't expect him to pull at will, and the angel will lie down so casually." ”

Hey, hey, Raphael's clothes are all pulled out of shape, are you blind?

Rafael can understand Neymar's depressed mood, and he complained to his teammates: "The quality of Adidas' jersey is too good, if it is broken, I see who dares to pull me, and after the game, the club will send him the bill and compensate him twice the market price." ”

Teammates sneered: "If you pull it, it will break, Adidas will have closed down a long time ago, and why double?"

"Can I wear the same one? I think we can negotiate with Adidas, it's only for the game, do you understand the special jersey?"

Dulvall stood aside with a wooden face, and for the first time he felt that the referee's yellow card was a relief if he really wanted to kick the shameless guy off the pitch.

Lamela's free-kick hits the wall.

At the end of the first half, the two sides went into the break with a score of 1:1.

Lu Oliveira paced a little uncomfortably in the Santos box, the Copa Libertadores was too far and too close to Santos for the Santos president to calm down. He thinks that Santos's strength is much stronger than River Plate, Argentina is now affected by the economic crisis, every club is living in a tight life, Brazil is different, they have ushered in a period of rapid economic development, especially the increasingly high broadcast fees, even with the club has benefited immensely, so on the basis of youth training, he has also added a lot of strong reinforcements.

Even in March this year, because of the intensification of internal contradictions, he decisively fired the former head coach Júnior and quickly finalized Morrissy, all of which represent his ambitions.

He thought that Passarella next door would definitely not understand his feelings, because every step taken by River Plate was earned, and every step of Santos was his hard work.

However, the team's performance in the first half disappointed Oliveira, with Santos not showing the quality to control the game at all.

How could this not make him anxious.

Pele, who was sitting in the same room with him, comforted him: "You should believe them, believe in Morrissy, the second half is the key, they will definitely keep the trophy here." ”

Lou Oliveira: "......" why he's more nervous?

"What do you think...... What about Riverplate's Raphael?" Oliveira simply changed the subject.

Uncle Pele touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "The Argentine still has a vision, this young man has good strength, and the most important thing is ...... There was a calmness in him that didn't fit his age...... In this regard, even Neymar is inferior to him. ”

Putting aside the tinted glasses, Uncle Bailey affirmed Raphael.

Oliveira was a little puzzled: "Neymar does have a big temper, but it's not necessarily necessary to say that he is calmer than Neymar, he has only been banned for two games this season for violence on the pitch and criticizing the referee." ”

Bailey shook his head, "Examples don't say anything," he trusts his eyes more, "A person who is not calm will not keep smiling at the beginning of a nightmare, and will not be able to send hugs under the continuous mistakes of his teammates." If the opening riverbed is still a little nervous...... Now, it's completely out of sight. Oh, maybe I'm wrong, it's not calmness, it's leadership temperament. ”
