The opening ceremony and opening match of the Copa America were scheduled at the Stadio de la Cita, a drive from the Ezeiza base, and the national team had to spend more time on the bus – and this was just the beginning, as Buenos Aires had only one stadium selected and only played the final final: the Stadio Monumental, the home of River Plate.
In fact, there are as many as eight stadiums for this Copa America, and in addition to the above two, the remaining six are located in the provinces of Santa Fe, Córdoba, and even the remote provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, Salta and Jujuy. You must know that Buenos Aires is a world-famous football city, and the number of famous stadiums in the city can fully support an America's Cup.
In addition to the criticism of the stadium problems, this Copa America has not yet begun, but it can be called a lot of disasters.
Originally, in addition to the 10 South American countries, the organizers also invited Mexico and Japan. As a result, in March this year, the Japanese earthquake affected Japan's own professional league and postponed it, which coincided with the start of the Copa America, and was protested by the professional leagues, and Japan had to choose to withdraw. However, Japan's decision was too repeated and procrastinated, and it was not officially confirmed that it would be absent until May, so the organizers had to hastily invite Costa Rica to participate instead. Costa Rica, who has not prepared much for the tournament, is probably the least favored team in this tournament.
Then, in early June, the eruption of the Puyeve volcano in Chile, and the volcanic ash even drifted into Argentina under the influence of strong winds, which caused a large number of flights to be cancelled, and there were rumors that the America's Cup would be postponed.
A little more recently, three days ago, Mexico's Olympic team selected for the Copa America was exposed, and eight young internationals were sent home by their head coach to bid farewell to Argentina in advance. The funniest thing is that the reason why this incident was exposed was because the "young ladies" came to take care of themselves after completing the service, and as a result, these players cherished their things outside their bodies too much, and did things without thinking, so they chose to call the police, and finally after the police investigated and monitored, this scandal was not allowed to be exposed......
After this incident, Batista was very glad that he was training behind closed doors, but he couldn't help but beat young players like Rafael and Rojo. At that time, Mi Lito also helped Raphael speak: "Coach, don't worry, only ugly people need prostitution, like Raphael, it's called a date, and it is estimated that there are people lining up for money." ”
But Raphael didn't feel happy at all, a good boy like him who was clear and not demonic, and who came out of the mud without staining, whether it was a prostitute or a date, it was impossible, okay! But I don't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that Rojo smiled a little weakly......
Regardless, the America's Cup was held on July 1 as scheduled.
On the Argentine bus, Rafael sat in the window seat in the middle row, and he pulled the curtains open a slight slit and quietly watched the rapidly receding scenery outside. Carrizo next to him was looking for headphones, ready to close his eyes and take a break, but before that, he raised the MP3 in his hand at Raphael: "Hey Raphael, listen to music? I see you don't seem to have a Walkman with you, maybe we can share it, if you don't mind." ”
Carriço and Rafael had never sat together when the club had been on a club before, and Mr. Goalkeeper only had a vague impression that Rafael didn't seem to like to sleep in the car. However, no one would love music, and he felt the need to care for their little angel in the riverbed and help him pass the boring journey.
Raphael came back to his senses, first thanking Carriso for his kindness, and then pointing to his phone: "Thank you Juan, but I have my own playlist, in my phone." ”
"Where is the sound quality of the mobile phone as good as the Walkman?" Carriso disagreed, but he didn't force it, but he was very interested in Raphael's playlist, "I don't know what type of songs you like to listen to?
Raphael smiled, clicked on the playback app, and handed the phone to his teammates.
Carriso looked at the playlist and was speechless for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "You...... Only two songs?" And one of them is the River Plate team song!Carriso was shocked - worthy of being an angel who was raised by River Plate since childhood, Love Club is really deep in love...... As for the other one, the title of the song he couldn't understand at all, it seems...... Is it a Chinese character?
Raphael nodded seriously: "There are not many songs, just listen to them." Do you want to hear it? Nice. ”
Carriso didn't stop her curiosity about another song and plugged in her headphones. When the song was over, Carriso was messy.
Carrizo, 28 years old, has experienced a variety of teammates, he has seen people who like to listen to rock, rap, and pure music...... Without exception, these songs are melodious, cheerful, intense, high-spirited, and even explosive, because the music is easy to mobilize a person's emotions, and in order to maintain their self-confidence, optimism, and courage to climb the peak, the players basically do not choose sad and gloomy songs.
So, he had never seen such a strange thing as Raphael...... This is a pure music that I don't know what instrument plays, the tune is low, desolate and tragic, making people seem to see the ancient battlefield under the blood of the remnant sun, the vultures wandering above, the autumn wind is bleak, blowing a fishy wind, and the only survivor leans on the instrument in his hand numbly next to his dead comrades, like crying and complaining, bringing boundless loneliness......
The picture brought by the music was so strong that Carriso almost wanted to cry when he listened to it, and he trembled and returned the phone to Raphael, deeply feeling that he not only had a generation gap with young people, but also a generation gap that was as deep as the Mariana Trench.
Raphael looked at his teammates' faces and suddenly remembered that the songs on his phone no longer seemed to be the ballads he had been listening to.
Two days before entering the national team, Raphael was in a depressed and sad mood, and it happened that he had previously picked up a Tao song from Chinese netizens, which was said to have been a mourning music in the army, but this song was not played twice, and Terri's mother couldn't stand it, not only did she simply confiscate his mobile phone, but also banned the Internet in order to prevent him from continuing to be a demon......
As for the team song...... This is what he used to download in order to deepen his memory and not sing out of tune (remember when he sang at Christmas, this is how he lined his dead friend with incomplete tones), and then he learned it thoroughly, and he didn't delete it because he liked River Plate more and more.
It's just that Raphael is not good at telling others these things, so he calmly took the headphones and stuffed them into his ears, but when Carriso didn't pay attention, he secretly changed the playback settings and chose the single loop, the song "Himno a River Plate...... Listening to team songs is better than listening to mourning TVT
Unbeknownst to him, Carrizo turned his head and posted on Facebook, not only praising the spirit of one of the only two songs on his phone that turned out to be the River Plate anthem, but also fully acknowledging his unrivaled loyalty to the club. At the same time, it euphemistically expressed that young people should have diversified entertainment, popular hobbies, be happy in time, know how to cherish, feel the beauty of youth, and not live up to the powerful talent given by God (the devil knows what he made up in his brain). As for netizens asking what the other song is...... Ahem, he praised it with a clear conscience, it is a light music that is easy to indulge in...... Well, it's just the kind of suicide.
Argentina's opening match tonight was against Bolivia, and for this match, Ole gave only a very short headline: "Revenge!" and the headline of Le Nacional was equally concise - "It's time to be ashamed!"
All Argentines still remember vividly that the last time the two sides met, Bolivia thrashed Maradona's Argentina 6-1 at home, the biggest defeat for the Nerazzo in 51 years.
"This is a disgrace, a disgrace for half a century!" Even Raphael, whose mind echoed the words that his nemesis Lanzini had been whispering in his ear for half a year, last night, he also received a text message from the other party, Manu said that if he can play, please be sure not to show mercy, score a few more goals, as long as he wins, he will have all the remaining apples in his storeroom!
You can imagine how important this battle is to Argentina, as long as the team wants to get off to a good start and wash away the shame, it must win! And it will win beautifully!
In the locker room of the home team at the Estadio de la Plata, the excitement of the opening ceremony outside was not completely cut off, but everyone was not distracted, and listened very carefully to Batista's final tactical explanation, everyone was full of fighting spirit, and their eyes flashed with determination to win, even Carrizo, who did not have the opportunity to play, clenched his fists and looked very excited.
Carrizo is not a newcomer to the national team, he was Maradona's royal goalkeeper, the last game with Bolivia, he was the main goalkeeper at that time, and it was that painful defeat that he gradually fell to the edge of the national team, Maradona first used Andujar, and then Romero, and then Romero completely occupied the starting team, and he was not shaken after the change of coach. And he, if it weren't for his excellent performance at River Plate, he might not have been able to take the position of third goalkeeper this time.
After Batista finished explaining, he left the last bit of time for the players to allocate for themselves, and he walked out with the assistant coach.
Most of the players are making final preparations to sort out their equipment, and Messi is no exception, he took out his shin guard from the cabinet, which has his name on it, as well as his favorite number, number 10!
