Chapter 18

The corners of Raphael's mouth hooked, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he waved it fiercely.

Correa also looked at the ball that was still bouncing in the goal: "Can this be ......?"

Maradona, who was on the sidelines, was opening the water cup and wanted to drink water, but the lid of the cup in his right hand fell to the ground and he didn't pay attention.

"Is this kid showing me a threat?" he just hit the opponent and didn't score a goal, but the opponent scored a goal in the middle circle with his back foot? Ma Dashuai couldn't hold his face, rushed to the front and shouted at Romero: "Sergio, are you sleepwalking?!"

Romero was picking up the ball and was a little embarrassed to hear it, but he did underestimate it just now.

At this time, the talents on the field reacted, especially the teammates of the youth team, who ran over to hug him.

"Okay, Rafael, that ball just now was so unexpected, so beautiful!"

"Be bold enough, lucky enough!"

"See the surprised looks on the faces of those stars? I think they must remember you, at least not because of the autograph book. ”

"It's amazing! hahahaha......"

An unbelievable goal was very morale-boosting, and the team-mates forgot about the wolf bèi who had just been suppressed, but they finally remembered that it was only a training match, and they were still sparring ...... After a short celebration, it returned to its original position.

The game started again, Higuain kicked off, passed to Tevez diagonally, and the game returned to the rhythm of the national team again, but the youth team was boosted by morale, and the table was getting better and better, and finally it was no longer as one-sided as before, and even the national team defenders were in their own forbidden zone.

But the national team has three metamorphosis strikers, and there is still danger in front of goal. In the 38th minute, Pezzella and Rodriguez teamed up to block Messi's shooting angle, and at the critical moment, Messi picked up a pass and passed to Higuain, Higuain hit the goal directly, goalkeeper Rey reacted very quickly, and hurriedly knocked the ball away with one hand, and the ball fell in the forbidden area, and the crisis was not lifted, but fortunately, Pezzella arrived in time and kicked the ball out of the forbidden area with a big foot.

But the kick was too strong and flew straight to the opponent's half. Batista shook his head at the sight, the ball should be out of the sideline, Pezzella was still too nervous, it was actually a good counterattack opportunity just now. He thought the same as Heinze, who turned and chased back, and he slowly ran towards the expected landing point of the ball, ready to take the throw-in when the time came.

"Huh?!Raphael, this is ......," Batista's eyes widened suddenly.

Rafael was accelerating, he was originally on the other side of the court, at least 20 meters away from Heinze, but his time from start to acceleration was incredibly short, like a gust of wind, getting closer and closer to Heinze!

Demichelis, who was a little further away, had a bad feeling and was about to warn Heinze, but Raphael was already less than 3 meters away from his teammates......! How fast the hell was it?!The shock made him forget his words.

Heinze was still jogging, and was about to look back at the ball, when a flower appeared in front of him, and a gust of wind blew around him, and he saw only a brilliant blonde hair flashing by.

Could it be that there is someone to save this ball?

Before he had time to think about it, the instinct of a professional player made him accelerate towards the opponent.

Rafael really had a good grasp of the speed and landing point of the ball, he just rushed to the sideline, jumped up directly, then the ball just fell, he gently hit the ball forward with his chest, the ball bounced forward obediently, he successfully saved the ball, and at this time Heinze was still two meters away from him!

Raphael's expression was calm, his right foot moved 0.1 seconds faster than the opponent, and with a shake of his toes, he successfully flicked the ball, and the ball rolled mischievously between Heinze's forked legs, piercing the crotch!

Heinze didn't expect that he would one day be crotched by a 16-year-old youth team kid, and he stayed for a moment, and by the time he reacted, Raphael had already wiped past him and killed directly into the forbidden zone with the ball!

On the sidelines, whether it is the coach or the substitute players, they all can't help but lock their eyes on Raphael at this time, Heinze is not obvious on the court, but their onlookers can clearly see how fast Raphael's speed is! Even if Heinze is accelerating later, the distance between him and Raphael is rapidly widening at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!

Just now, the national team was too pressed, and even the defender Mascherano was in the opposing half, and the defenders were only Demichelis and Samuel, who returned in time when Rafael saved the ball. The closest to him at this time was Demichelis!

Demichelis is very confident in himself, his one-on-one defense success rate has always been good, so he didn't wait for Samuel, and rushed directly towards Rafael, he didn't plan to let Rafael enter the forbidden area! But Rafael didn't panic at all, he continued to rush forward with the ball, the ball quickly rolled forward, Demichelis smiled in his heart, boy, you are still too tender, he fell directly to the ground and put the shovel.

The youth team's substitutes covered their heads in frustration, as if they had seen the ball being shoveled. But Rafael had stepped on the ball with his right foot at the moment before Bidemikelis tackled the ball, and then turned 180 degrees, and quickly pulled the ball back with his left foot.

How can this kid react so fast!

This was the only thought on the mind of the fallen Demichelis.

"Marseille slalom?!" Batista looked at Raphael in surprise, not only for the perfect Marseille slalom, but also for Raphael's unparalleled reaction speed.

Rafael's pass was done in one go, and Samuel didn't expect Demichelis to be passed so directly, but he was very calm and stuck the angle of Rafael's inner cut, and did not rush forward to steal, but intended to force Rafael to the side.

At this time, Demichelis and Heinze were both turning and chasing back, leaving little time for Raphael!

Raphael didn't need to think about it to know the other party's intentions, he slowed down, leaned his body inward, and looked like he was ready to cut directly into the forbidden area, Samuel couldn't ask for it, he directly pasted his body over, Samuel was strong, while Raphael looked more slender, and the end of the physical confrontation didn't need to be thought about at all in the eyes of others, they seemed to see Raphael lose his balance and wolf Bèi fell to the ground.

As they thought, Raphael stumbled a little, but he didn't lose his balance, he leaned to the left again, and at the same time his left foot slammed the ball in front of his left, was he ready to make a desperate move?

However, at the moment when Samuel's center of gravity moved, Rafael's left instep that dialed the ball suddenly moved, and the ball that he dialed to the left was suddenly hooked to his right front, and at the same time, the center of gravity of his body also changed, and he instantly changed direction, accelerating to the right front of his body, that is, Samuel's left front!

Samuel, who had an unsteady center of gravity, was completely unable to stop Rafael's breakthrough. He could only turn his head to look at Rafael, who rushed directly into the forbidden area, and there was only one goalkeeper Romero left in front of him!

Romero chose to attack, but Rafael was not ready to waste time on him, and fired a fierce shot with his left instep, the ball went over Romero's shoulder and smashed directly into the top right corner of the goal!

"It was just a bull's tail flicking...... and at this time, the onlookers were still thinking about the person before him.

You can imagine how fast Raphael's series of actions were! When it came to shooting, everyone hadn't reacted yet!

Correa, who was ready to come to support after noticing Rafael's successful save, was only in time for the half-time, but he was just in time to celebrate the goal.

Even Batista didn't expect Rafael to be so efficient, to be able to beat three main defenders of the national team in a row, and even score a goal!

"Diego, it looks like you've lost this bet. He smiled and said to Maradona.

Ma Dashuai, who had just been attracted by Raphael's smooth flow and was not flustered at all, was about to praise two sentences, immediately silenced, pursed his lips and said: ", son of luck." ”

Batista shook his head, not exposing Maradona's misconduct.

But more complicated than Maradona's mood is the national team's substitute strikers. "Crazy" Palermo is okay, he is 37 years old this year, this will be the last World Cup he will participate in, and he has made the decision to retire in Boca after the new season, he is only sighing now, this kid is really good, I don't know if it is possible to meet in the new season of the Super Derby.

Milito and Aguero have a lot more mixed feelings. Argentina is really a country with a generation of strikers, and there are endless striker killers, when they can't ensure their status and main force in the national team, another striker demon star appears, even if the opponent is only 16 years old, even if the opponent is unknown in the international community, even if the opponent is now in the national youth team, they still can't help but have a trace of worry and vigilance. Argentina's forward rivalry is really ...... It's cruel!

Not only them, but as long as the strikers who have plans for the position of the main striker, they can't help but be vigilant.

Perhaps the only one who can appreciate Rafael's goal without any guilt is Messi, after all, no matter how the partner changes, only his main force will not change.

Rafael didn't know that one of his goals had brought a subtle change of mood to the national team.

"I didn't expect you to score goals like this...... Hahahaha, it's so cool!Raphael, how about we do it again later?" Pezzella, who rushed past half time to celebrate with Rafael, was overjoyed.

Raphael glanced at him: "Well, you can consider kicking a little harder, kicking the ball directly into the opponent's goal, causing a goal, wouldn't it be better?"

The game started again, and the people of the national team looked stern, although it was only a training match, but a draw with the youth team was too embarrassing for them.

Messi's expression is also a lot more serious. He looked at Rafael, who scored two goals in a row, but his expression was the same as the opening, he couldn't help but admire a little, he still remembered that he had just entered the Barcelona first team when he was 17 years old, and the team scored a goal in the main lineup, and he was happy to run all over the field, this cloud, but he was a year younger than he was at that time, how could he be so calm.

In the last minute at the end of the first half, Messi, who was full of firepower, scored the last goal by connecting 5 members of the sparring team, and the main team narrowly defeated the sparring team 3:2.

Maradona was clearly very unhappy with the result, and the main team was all asked to practice for an extra hour.

At the start of the second half, Rafael and Correa were both substituted, and this time the sparring team brought four forwards, and Batista could not favor one over the other. The national team substitute team finally won 1-0 against the sparring team thanks to Aguero's goal.
