In this game, although Rafael's two goals successfully calmed the discerning domestic fans, the media was not so easily fooled.
Ole newspaper: "Batista's tactics are not new, and the challenge for the title cannot be won by the players alone - last time it was Aguero, this time it was Rafael, next time ...... Who is it?"
Nation Daily: "Angels saved Messi and saved Batista, but this victory, Argentina still does not have much to describe, but it exposes more problems, the fragility of the backfield, the disorder of the midfield, and the weakness of the front court all make people feel that they are not prepared at all, Batista don't say excuses, and the short time of leading the team is not an excuse." ”
Clarion: "80 minutes of inaction in the face of the Coffee Army is enough to say that Batista cannot pin his fate on substitutions if he wants to go further." ”
That's right, the media once again pointed the finger at the head coach Batista, Batista must be very aggrieved, I was the one who was scolded, how could I still be the one who won and was scolded?
That's probably what makes it difficult for a big manager to do it.
If you win, you won't be ecstatic, because it's a matter of course, but if you lose, you'll be roasted on the fire, and you'll always be a stain.
After the media blamed Batista for the team's win, they also scored the players' performances as usual.
Messi, who is on the cusp of the storm, has 6 points: as the tactical core of the team, it is difficult to play the role of the core. Straight Seravich single-handedly, occasionally a few successful instigations were accompanied by many gambles, many times surrounded and conceded goals, but it had a positive effect on containing Colombia's defense. A poor free-kick in the second half was enough to prove that the Barcelona star was not ready to be the mental pillar of the team, and it was only towards the end of the game that his performance returned to normal.
Tevez (4.5): The opening performance was okay, and there were too many brainless hits to the wall in the late stage.
Ravitch (4): Until he was substituted, he was terrible, like a fly without a head, and he wasted a lot of chances.
Banega (5.5): The ball from Setevez was very good, and the rest of the time it was decent, no surprises or bad performances.
Cambiasso (5): Underwhelmed and didn't give much help to his team-mates in midfield.
Mascherano (5 points): The performance was generally a little worse, and the handling after a tackle on the wing of the midfield was not crisp enough, and he was almost lost on a counter-attack.
Zabaleta (5): Tried to get involved in the attack, but didn't have much depth, and there were hidden problems on the defensive end.
Zanetti (5.5): There are no problems on the defensive end, but there is a lack of focus on offense.
Gabi Milito (4): One of Colombia's most dangerous shots on goal was created by him, and the rest of the time was mediocre.
Burdisso (5): The whole game was okay, but he didn't concentrate enough at the end of the game and made the same mistake as Gabi Milito.
Sergio Romero (7): Five good saves, performing his duties as a goalkeeper, his brilliant performance to keep Argentina in the net and was the hero of the game.
Subs:
Sergio Aguero (6): Coming off the bench for Ravic didn't put on a magical scene like in the first game, but his arrival still gave hope to Argentina's attack, but it was too late to play.
Gago (6.5): Came on as a substitute for Cambiaso, and the two long passes he made with Rafael were amazing, but he didn't play much defensively in this game.
Rafael (9 points): The biggest surprise of the game, his speed and ability to take chances are unforgettable, he is in excellent form, and under the cover of his teammates, he managed to create a miracle of 2 shots and 2 goals, the fly in the ointment is that the playing time is too short.
Finally, there was the manager, Ole who gave Battista three points, and the comment was brief - for his substitution.
Of course, what made Raphael happiest was not that he got the highest score, but that they also angrily criticized the fans for their poor performance, giving them the same score as Batista for the first time: Is this how you watch the game? If so, then I suggest you go home and give up your tickets to the fans who are more willing to support the team.
The impetuous atmosphere in the stands of this game, I can't wait to miss Diego's call before halftime, and the boos in the sky after Messi's free kick mistake made Ole report heartbroken-
Argentina has already gone so hard, can you please stop making trouble?
Maybe it was the end result of this game that was a victory, which made Ole a little more tolerant. If he doesn't win, Raphael doesn't doubt that these big newspapers will fall into the ground.
The Argentine team was disbanded on the spot after returning to Buenos Aires, and Batista once again gave the players a half-day off so that the disciples could go home to see their families or girlfriends, while Messi, because his home was in Rosario, Batista even allowed him to take a flight at Santa Fe Airport, but Messi refused.
Messi returned to the Ezeiza base, but also rejected his father's desire to visit him again, which he has been with him every day since the last game.
"I know what I want and I know what I have to do, you don't have to be upset about me because I didn't really play well enough in this game and the boos won't knock me down, it just cheers me up," he said. If I feel sad and unbearable, I will call you, because I know that you will always be there for me. ”
Old Messi knows his son very well, he knows that the joy of the team's victory can't overpower the bitterness of hearing the fans' boos, so he wants to help him out of this shadow as much as possible, Leao's words make him wonder, but if his son really wants to open, he can rest assured.
In fact, Messi just doesn't want to do this anymore, because it will make him realize very clearly that he is still a child who has not grown up and needs his family to shelter him from the wind and rain.
What's even more embarrassing for him is that he is the only player in the team who needs to be accompanied by his family, even Rafael, a real underage child, he has only seen him and his parents on the phone once when he was a roommate, in addition, at the press conference, he met his agent's mother, and his father, who is even more low-key as if there is no such person. If it weren't for the fact that he had a relationship at Christmas, he would have almost thought that Raphael's family relationship was terrible.
If you think about himself, his father hasn't missed every game and training since he joined the national team.
Messi still woke up very early the next morning, and Ah Kun went home last night to reunite with his wife and son, so he was the only one in the room, and he sat on the bed in a daze before he got up.
It's still a familiar figure on the training ground, and even if he makes a perfect Copa America debut, it won't stop him from continuing to work hard.
Raphael spotted him immediately this time and waved at him.
Messi jogged over: "Rafael, you are so scary. ”
Rafael gave him a puzzled look, but Messi didn't explain.
Messi only accompanied Rafael for a few laps of jogging, and he did not participate in the more intense physical training later, and yesterday his ankle injury worried the coaching staff, and before the disbandment last night, Batista also specifically instructed him to avoid drastic movements to avoid recurrence.
Well, I always feel that the coach has something to say......
Raphael's early morning training was not heavy, so it was over quickly, and the two of them came to the restaurant for breakfast together after taking a shower. Most of the Argentine players took advantage of the opportunity to go home, so the huge restaurant was deserted, and there were only the two of them.
"Are you going to continue training for your rare vacation?" Messi asked.
Rafael shook his head, took a sip of milk, and was a little depressed: "No, I'll have to give an interview later, it seems to be Tengxun Sports, they said that there is still a cooperative relationship with you?" This is a Chinese online media, and I wanted to interview him as early as before the start of the America's Cup, but at that time Rafael felt that he was a shadowless thing to play, so he refused, but the other party never gave up, and after he came off the bench yesterday, Terri took charge of helping him take it.
Messi was very impressed by this media and nodded: "Well, I registered their Weibo...... However, is there no one in Huaxia who plays Weibo?" Facing the angel's puzzled eyes, he frowned and said: "From December last year to the present, although there are hundreds of thousands of people who follow me, there are very few forwards and comments, there are hundreds of them, only dozens of them, and they are still ...... for a long time."
He has been to Huaxia several times, but he will not underestimate his popularity, but the dismal popularity of his Weibo makes him have to wonder if Huaxia has a particularly small number of people on the Internet, and it is also because of this blow that he began to post a few Weibo posts by himself, and then he directly threw it to the team to operate.
But soon he understood, because Raphael said: "Well, I also have registered Huaxia's Weibo...... But it's not Teng Xun, it's called Sina, and I feel that there are still a lot of people. ”
Messi gave him a silent look, thinking that he might probably be ...... was pitted.
"Don't be like this, with my experience of mixing with Huaxia.com, Weibo is not the main gathering place for netizens now, maybe it will be better in the future?" said Raphael with a grin.
Messi: "Then you come to Teng Xun Weibo, I follow you." ”
Raphael decisively refused: "No, I'm used to the current mode of operation, and I finally managed to raise this number so big." ”
Messi had no choice but to build a trumpet to add him, just like he did on Twitter.
However, he was soon shocked: "Raphael, this is what you call a ??? you have raised for a long time" He pointed to the number of his fans, the Arabic numeral 23 seemed to laugh at his naivety, he almost thought that he was missing an M behind the number, until he watched 23 jump to 24 after he paid attention.
"And three more are robots," Raphael shrugged, not paying attention, "I don't have a certification." ”
Messi rolled his eyes, and with Rafael, he couldn't maintain his calm expression.
Raphael's play on Weibo was originally in the nature of playing tickets, so he didn't let his mother help him authenticate, otherwise it would not be possible to have only 23 followers, in addition to 3 robots, there are 20 because of his Weibo name, and his only Weibo has hundreds of replies below, most of them are what:
"Brother, you're fast enough!"
"Good IDs are all arched by pigs, you said that you built an angel's Weibo and didn't post news about him, are you embarrassed?"
"Want to buy your ID...... Would you like to reply to a private message?"
"Do you think you can impersonate yourself if you mark yourself overseas and your profession is a football player?"
also shouted with his mother's avatar and name: "Son, I'm your mother, mutual fans." ”
Raphael couldn't help but laugh every time he saw it, and with a hint of bad taste, he just drove the tuba as a trumpet to play, of course Raphael with such a mentality would not know how miserable the situation would be if he fell off his horse one day.
