"Argentina made a substitution, Yunyi replaced Di Maria," the Chinese commentator perked up as soon as he saw Rafael playing, and his voice unconsciously raised, "Yunyi can be said to be the youngest player on the field in this Copa America, but although he is young, his popularity is not bad at all." The most popular player voted by fans on the official website of the Copa America, after playing less than 45 minutes, he is ranked third behind Messi and Aguero, and the number of votes is rising. ”

"Yunyi's performance in this Copa America has been eye-catching, his personal ability has been fully displayed, and the fans like him, probably because as long as he plays, the team will always have something to gain. After the group stage, he was tied for second in goals and third in assists with the likes of Falcao, Pato and Neymar, and his efficiency on the pitch was truly the first. ”

"However, in this game, Di Maria's positioning on the field is more about tandem protection of Messi, will Yunyi's appearance bring about a change in formation? For example, like against Costa Rica, let Messi go up to the front as a center forward, and he plays as a winger? Hmm...... It doesn't seem like it will be at the moment, after all, Higuain is still on the pitch. Looking at it this way, the position of the substitute Yunyi has changed three times, I really don't know if it's because Batista trusts him too much, or if it's too difficult......"

Peru's head coach Macarian had already walked out of the dugout, seemingly very calm and directing the players on the field, but his frowning brow had already betrayed his bad mood at the moment, and he also called the captain Vargas at the same time as Rafael came on the field. The previous raid failed, and at this time there was no point in defending. Although he still has a substitution spot in his hand, there is no one to change. After all, before the Copa America started, his team had become a barracks of injured soldiers, and if Pizarro and Farfan were still around, he would not be so embarrassed.

Watching the opposing youngsters play, Makarian was so envious of Batista, and the world-class forwards under his hands were like mushrooms after a rain.

The game continued, Peru, which was bent on fighting back, increased its efforts to break through from the wing, and Vargas, who was originally a left midfielder, was more active, as if Peru was a wing attacking blade.

Mascherano told his teammates: "Watch out for their long-range shots!"

In the case that the forbidden zone is difficult to break, long-range shooting is bound to become an important means of scoring for opponents.

Although this is too much of a test of character.

Considering the defensive ability, Rafael switched places with Aguero after coming on the pitch, becoming the first barrier that Vargas, a left-sided stalwart who had been in Real Madrid's blue eye.

However, it is still his job to connect and cover for Messi, Rafael didn't feel anything, but when he saw Messi's six for him, the little angel's mentality collapsed.

In the 83rd minute, Argentina's corner kick was cleared, and Peru once again set off a counterattack frenzy. But Peru's advance was very difficult under Argentina's quickly organized defense, the ball was like a bomb about to explode, and no one dared to over-hold it, so they could only let it fly around the pitch, and they couldn't get into Argentina's forbidden zone. It wasn't until the second half that Cherokui was replaced with the ball that he did not hesitate to see his teammates' gestures, and passed the ball away as soon as possible, avoiding Banega's forward interception.

It was Vargas who received the ball with an accelerated sprint that appeared not far in front of him to the left.

The all-round Peruvian captain on the left opted for an incredible shot in the face of the ball!

Shoot straight from the centre circle at least 40 yards out!

Romero obviously didn't expect his opponent to be so whimsical, and despite his mental focus, the ball slid into the net the moment it landed on his waving arm.

Peru pulled one back.

Little Brother Ma was very depressed, in fact, he had said this out of precaution against Vargas before. When they were in the World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, they didn't win easily, relying on Palermo's final winner to defeat Peru 2-1 at home. Before the final whistle, Vargas, who was unwilling to admit defeat, shot directly after kicking off, but fortunately the ball hit the goal frame and flew out of the bottom line, but in that game, Vargas's strength in desperate survival still impressed him.

However, his advice didn't work in the slightest.

Watching the Peruvian players' passionate and quickly ending celebrations, Rafael's mood, which had been very relaxed since he came on the field, became a little heavy and empty.

With the Argentine offensive line shrinking, he was not far from Vargas.

This goal should not have been scored, if he hadn't hesitated to defend at that time, Vargas wouldn't have been so easy to get off without any interference, because he didn't think that this man would do such a thing in this place, and his mentality at that time was like the opponent he had faced.

And the commentators didn't think it was Rafael's problem, "No one could have imagined that the Peruvian captain would play in this location. He made his name on his Peruvian Primera debut in '02 with a long-range shot from 40 yards out, when he was still a left-back. And today, he relied on his amazing long-range shooting ability to knock on the door of Argentina and give hope to Peru. ”

But Batista on the sidelines knew exactly what he was switching places for Rafael and Aguero.

So he frowned and threw his arm again, and he looked a little anxious when he should have sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Deep down, he is not very confident in his heart, he is too afraid, too afraid that Argentina will be overturned. Taking advantage of the spare time, he called the captain to the sidelines.

Mascherano came back and walked up to Rafael's side, his voice low but serious: "The coach asked me to tell you to remember your tasks on the field," he paused, "You have to know that only by carrying out the manager's requirements can you gain the trust of the manager, and by gaining trust, you can go further." ”

Raphael nodded obediently in acknowledgment.

After the reopening, the commentators found that Argentina once again strengthened their defense, the most typical of which was that only Higuain was left in the front, and Messi, Aguero and Rafael all retreated to varying degrees.

Peru, who wanted to drag the game to penalties, and Argentina, who were interested in retreating, switched the attack and defense of the game. The attacking Peru still focused on the left side of Vargas.

'The Peruvian captain's goal gave Batista's conservatism the upper hand once again, but Vargas is in a bit of trouble right now and appears to be being targeted by Rafael. You must know that the 17-year-old Argentine talent has not only been very strong on the offensive end in his previous games, but he also has a lot of experience in defense. ”

This is the case with Rafael, and the other commentators who don't pay much attention to the Argentine star have focused on Rafael and Biglia's defence, believing that Rafael is only a harasser.

Vargas thought the same way at first, after all, he is 1.85 meters tall and has a strong physique, and he really doesn't really take the defensive ability of a 17-year-old who looks weak and can't help but look weak.

But he soon realized that he was wrong.

As Rafael concentrated on defending, his shadow (or kraft candy to put it mildly) made the left-sided warrior feel uncomfortable.

His explosive assault, his ability to outperform his teammates on the feet of his national team-mates, and his physical ability to withstand pressure have no effect on Rafael. Because Raphael doesn't have much physical contact with him at all, and in terms of speed, the opponent is faster than him, and in terms of technique, the opponent is stronger than him.

Not to mention the inherent quality gap between Peru and Argentina, even if he occasionally breaks through Rafael's defensive range by penetrating with his teammates, he will often fall into a bigger quagmire.

Peru's desperate attack also led to the emptiness of the backline, and in the 89th minute, Messi's long pass from the midfield, Higuain once again easily countered offside, and the small smoking gun was given a one-on-one chance with goalkeeper Fernandes. From 11 yards out of goal, he slowed down and opted to push into the far corner, where Fernandes quickly fell to the ground and slid sideways to seal the near corner, but he was a little slower and the ball rolled under him quickly.

Peru fell into despair for a moment, then stared at the ball and rolled off the line against the post.

One second hell, the next second heaven.

The Argentine fan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Although the small smoking gun's single knife did not score another second to Peru, Vargas's mood became more and more anxious, they were still one goal away, or one goal short!

The minutes ticked by until stoppage time, when Milito received a yellow card for knocking down Guerrero and Peru's free-kick turned into a corner.

Argentina also attached great importance to this corner, and Rafael continued to show his spirit of perseverance towards Vargas, standing behind him persistently - even if the opponent's position was not close to the forbidden zone, even if he suffered a lot of eye stabs from the grumpy captain.

Peru opted for a high ball that went straight in the direction of Vargas.

With a kraft candy next to him, Vargas knew there was no point in him turning and chasing the ball, and the young player was faster than him. So, he chose to jump in place to catch the ball.

And Rafael, who has always had no talent for heading, also carried out his defensive beginning and end, and next to Vargas also chose to jump.

Here Vargas just jumped and regretted it, because he cared too much about Rafael behind him, his judgment was a little wrong, and when he was in the air, the ball was still a little distance away!

It was a fatal mistake.

Rafael, who was a slow step, was just in the right time, and when Vargas fell, he was still rising. Perhaps it was unwillingness, or perhaps it was an outburst of depression, and Vargas's right elbow swung back heavily.

Then he heard a muffled grunt and the sound of a thump falling to the ground, and the ball that no one had reached flew over his head and towards the border.

Vargas didn't even look at Rafael and ran straight to chase the ball.

But his action was stopped by the referee, and the sharp-eyed referee stopped the game, pulled out his pocket at him, and elbowed him - red card!

Messi was already a little idle when the game entered the final stage.

With his position and position, it is impossible to focus on someone like Rafael, and he will not grab the ball that is obviously unavailable, so he spends more time on "walking", like a napping tiger, waiting for the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.

Then, in his spare time, he will observe Rafael's position to see if he can plan another attack together, as before, his single knife to Higuain is a steal pass from Rafael.

So, when the Peruvian corner kick was issued, Vargas made a mistake in receiving the ball, and everyone else was paying attention to the movement of the football, his attention was completely locked on Rafael who covered his face and fell to the ground.

Since he has known Raphael, he has been deeply impressed by one of the qualities of the little angel, that is, he never fakes falling!

Messi rushed over without even thinking about it.

Raphael closed his eyes tightly, his left hand covering his face, and a trace of blood oozed from between his fingers.

Messi half-knelt beside him, calling his name with great anger, and hurriedly beckoned his teammates to call the team doctor.

Raphael had only recovered from the sharp pain of the blow to the bridge of his nose at this time, and he slowly opened his eyes, the corners of which were still glowing with physiological saline, and he was still a little confused, looking at his blood-covered left hand in a daze.

…… What's going on, he won't be disfigured, right?
