As a professional sports newspaper, Ole will rate the table of each player in important matches out of 10, but Ole has always been stingy in ratings, and a score of 7 already represents their high recognition of the player, but this friendly match against the United States is a rare exception.

Messi (9): Completely at a high level, three sports goals were the key to the victory of this game, he is no longer the shining shadow of Barcelona, Messi showed his true strength, if he can be more active in the last fifteen minutes, he will get full points.

Rafael (9): The most feared killer in the Liga 1 hid his edge in this game, but helped his teammates complete a shining game, without mistakes, which is a model for the whole team, the only pity is that he has three assists but not a goal.

Di Maria (7): The wide break was very sharp, and he created a few kills on his own, but there was not much cooperation in the whole game.

Rojo (6.5): He was very active throughout the game, often inserting on the wings and cooperating with the front court, and the other tables were decent, without too many mistakes.

Argentina averaged 6.7 points per game.

Against the United States, Ole averaged just 4.2 points, with goalkeeper Howard the highest at 8: without the goalkeeper's spectacular saves, Messi, Rafael and Angel Di Maria could have scored in double figures. Although he was scored three goals, it was not his fault, he did his best.

"The Nation", which has always sung against Ole and is also critical of Raphael, awarded Rafael the honor of the best player of the game to Raphael for the first time this time, and gave him the highest score.

Rafael (10): The biggest highlight and surprise of the game, his save zài activated Messi. Like Sergio Aguero, he is a good player with Messi, and his ability to create chances is even better, and although he is youngest, he can play a decisive role. He has more dedication to the national team than Messi, and he works hard at all times until he is replaced.

Lionel Messi (8.5): showed the value of his national team's number one star, constantly attacking from the first half and the second half, and the hat-trick was convincing, but unfortunately disappeared from the field in the end.

Rafael glanced at Messi's mobile phone a few times, leaned on the other party's shoulder and laughed uncontrollably: "Disappeared on the field, hahahaha, it's too bad, how can you say that, at best, you can only say that you disappeared into the camera." ”

Messi rolled his eyes at the sky, well, he admitted that after Rafael went off the field, he was far less active on the field than before, but there was no need to hack him like this.

"And what about me, look at this. Messi flipped to another piece of news and handed his phone to Rafael.

Raphael turned his head and snorted angrily: "Don't look at it, rumor-mongering media!"

This friendly match Rafael also made a big name in the United States, and the high school student he went to practice probably recognized him and gave all the photos and videos they took to the media.

So these days the newspapers in the United States are all talking about him.

What is "the Argentine international's way of decompressing before the game is different, preferring to compete with ordinary people for a sense of achievement"......

What is "the Argentine 16-year-old international is too playful, and the abuse of vegetables shows the difference"......

excuseme？

Raphael believed that the students would not be so inverted, so he could only say that the media were here to disgust him.

Mei Xiaoxi saw that Raphael was puffing out his face and was a little unbearable, and comforted him: "It's okay, no one in China will believe it anyway." ”

Raphael:...... So he doesn't want a reputation abroad, right?

It wasn't until later that Messi's figure was discovered from the video that the argument that the two of them were "psychopathic and formed a group to abuse vegetables" was once very popular in North America.

Raphael was instantly relieved, and shouted happily: A good brother is to be blessed and share hardships, don't be cowardly, and carry it together.

Messi was not convinced, pointing to his face and being speechless: "Do I look like such a boring person!"

Raphael comforted him: "It's okay, no one in the country will believe it anyway." ”

Messi: ...... You're waiting for me here.

But later, the boy who had competed with him in North America found Raphael on Facebook and sincerely apologized to the two of them, saying that he didn't know that the media was talking such nonsense, and the facts he said were not reported.

Rafael didn't care anymore, but was very interested in the opponent's plan to enter the professional league.

"Hopefully it's not an impulsive decision you've made. He said.

Crockett told him that he had already planned it and that his parents supported his decision.

"I love playing football and the reason why I didn't think about being a professional player before was because I thought I was very good, and even if there was a gap between me and a professional player, it would not be too far behind. It wasn't until I saw you that I found myself sitting in a well watching the sky, crossing a stream and thinking that I had conquered the sea. Now I'm going to set sail again. I've set myself the next goal and I'm going to achieve it. ”

Raphael smiled: "Huh, into the professional team?"

Crockett made a defiant look: "No, defeat you." ”

Raphael was stunned for a moment, he didn't think the other party was too ambitious, but thought this kid was quite interesting, "Oh, yes? It's a long process, and it may cost you a lifetime." ”

Crockett: "...... Just wait and see. "Hey, hey, it's not what he imagined. Shouldn't he encourage him? What the hell is it to spend his life, it's shameless.

That's not it, think about Raphael's still reluctance to admit that Messi is his idol, although Raphael thinks Crockett has good talent, but to surpass him?

On the court, no one could make him surrender, and he was already as proud as a peacock.

After playing against the United States, the Argentine team flew to Costa Rica, more than 2,000 kilometers away, the next day, where they still have a friendly to play.

But this game has nothing to do with Rafael and Messi.

Rafael is too young to start another game and played 70 minutes, and Batista has to look at the form of other players, so there is no need to let him play.

As for Messi, he himself really wants to play, but if he is really allowed to play, then Barcelona will really start the rampage mode, and Batista himself does not dare to let him work so hard.

Of course, the real reason cannot be said to the outside world, so as not to make Costa Rica feel uncomfortable, so Messi was naturally injured in training.

Only captain Mascherano, Milito, Rojo and goalkeeper Andujar continued to start the game, with the rest of the squad in the second line-up.

Messi and Rafael get together on the bench.

Because it is a Central American region, the temperature is warm again, and they finally don't have to wear long sleeves.

The friendly match was played at the National Stadium in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica.

The Costa Rica National Stadium was built with the aid of China and has just been completed, covering an area of nearly 100,000 square meters and accommodating 35,000 people. Three days ago, the Chinese national team and the Costa Rica national team also played a friendly match here to celebrate the inauguration of the stadium, and the two teams drew 2:2 in the end.

And this match against Argentina is the second football match to be held here.

Before the start of the game, there were wonderful theatrical performances at the scene, and it can be seen that Costa Rica attaches great importance to this game, and then the two sides played the national anthem to each other, and the game officially began.

Because the back of the bench here is transparent, Rafael and Messi are next to each other, and occasionally when you turn around, you can see the photographer holding a camera in the back to shoot at them.

At this time, he felt the mood of the little donkey at the beginning, and he really shouldn't sit with people who are too popular, and he can't hide anything from his every move.

Messi watched the game with his chin propped up, and after a while, he couldn't sit still, and poked the quiet silent child next to him, "What are you doing?" ”

Raphael leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, his eyes slightly squinted, and he looked rather deep.

He didn't look back, and his voice looked listless: "Watch the game." ”

"Look at you very unenergetic, what's wrong with you?" Messi looked at him with some concern, when he was training this morning, Rafael was still alive, once he stopped training, the whole person fell silent, "Did you not rest last night?"

I don't know if he was wrong, but he felt that Raphael seemed to be glaring at him, and his voice became vicious: "That's right!"

Messi grinned: "We've only played the game for two hours, and it seems that the biological clock is too accurate." ”

Because he knew that he would not play today, Messi, who was bored to death last night, pulled Rafael to play a two-player game on the tablet and played until about 11 o'clock before falling asleep.

Raphael turned his head and was angry: "It has nothing to do with the game. It's got something to do with you!"

Messi's eyes were round and innocent: "What's wrong with me?"

"You're not allowed to take a shower in the future. ”

"Aha?" Messi had a strange face, and he didn't understand the logic at all.

Raphael thought about it and thought it was weird: "No, you let me fall asleep first, and you will sleep later......!" Blame Messi anyway!

Messi was confused, what the hell is this.

Even the other members of the bench couldn't help but pay attention to them, and although their eyes were looking at the court, their ears were already well-bent.

Raphael was extremely sad and indignant, but still didn't say a reason: "Forget it, you just need to know that I basically didn't sleep all night last night." ”

Messi was even more curious now: "What are you doing? Aha, you won't tamper with the number of games, right?" he glanced at Raphael suspiciously, given that someone hadn't won a game last night.

Messi, do you think that everyone else is like you, and if you lose, you will cheat.

Raphael's eyes exploded when he caught a glimpse of him, and he couldn't help but lean into his ear and gritted his teeth: "Mei, Xi, do you know that you sleep, sleep, snort, purr, ah!!"
