The friendly match with Venezuela was held in the western Argentine city of San Juan, and the Bicentennial Stadium was unveiled on the same day, which will be one of the venues for the Copa America to be held on Argentine soil in July.

The strength of the Venezuelan national team has been on the rise in recent years, but there is still a big gap compared to Argentina, which has won all of its past 16 international A|-level matches against Venezuela. The last time the two teams met was in the 2009 World Cup qualifiers, which Argentina won 4-0, with Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez scoring one goal each.

So for Batista, this game is also just for training, and by the way, some new players are examined, such as ...... Raphael.

In the whole team, Raphael is the least qualified, there is no one!

Of course...... is also the youngest, which is undoubtedly the youngest in the entire team except for him, all of whom are 89 years old.

As early as when he was in South Africa, Batista thought that Raphael was gold and would shine sooner or later, but he didn't expect that the other party's light would be displayed so early, and it was so dazzling that it would almost blind others! He forgot which newspaper he saw such a sentence: "While the whole world is crazy about Messi, the Argentine people are crazy about Rafael Yun." ”

Calling the other party into the national team was a long-term plan for him, and now it has finally come true.

And Rafael's first selection for the national team, whether in Argentina or Europe, has attracted attention, only the difference is that the former is very concerned, and the latter is a little interested. For example, Barcelona's mouthpiece newspaper "Daily Sports" spent a little space to introduce Messi's good friend in Argentina, who is also the current superstar of the football world, Rafael, who is about to participate in the senior team, although it is only a second-tier team, but it has also successfully achieved the national team's secondary jump, which is gratifying.

Some Chinese fans also learned about Rafael's final entry into the national team from the Internet or sports weekly, and they also discussed it on the Tieba forum and Weibo.

"After looking at the squad, they are all elites in the domestic league. It is normal for clouds to appear on it, but it is not normal if they do not appear. ”

"But when you think about his age, it's still not normal in general. ”

"I was selected for the national youth team for the first time more than a month ago, and I went straight to the national team a month later...... There's no one else who can upgrade this speed......"

"It's a little glad to think about it, if Yunyi can become a Chinese citizen...... It is estimated that he will not be able to see him in the national football team without making a monkey year and a month, and he will be ranked in seniority...... Hehe. ”

"Don't think about things that have long been impossible. ”

", I won't accept this, Argentina is the same as how wise and knowledgeable people are, and the phenomenon of seniority in their national team was very strict in the past, okay! And this is just an inconsequential friendly match, do you think he will have a chance to play with Messi when he enters the national team? Don't dream, it is estimated that he will let him go in and play a soy sauce, after this game, he will enter the national team again, and he will return it to you in the year of the monkey!"

"Paralyzed, who mentioned the national football team, who mentioned me and who turned his face. ”

"Roll on, all the above, why can't we peacefully discuss the issue of whether Xia Yunyi can start?"

"+1, and also, how many goals can be scored. ”

"Fish belly team, it's not too much to score two or three goals. ”

"Are you all dreaming? I don't think it's possible to start, he's only in the national team for the first time, but it's okay to come off the bench. ”

As expected by this netizen, Rafael did not start. However, this group of teammates he played against last season, or this season, although he may not be able to remember everyone's name, but there is still an impression. For example, in the starting list this time, there was his opponent at the time in the super derby game that he remembered the most last season.

Boca Juniors' playmaker midfielder Hugo Chávez and winger Monche.

But for these people, it was not a pleasant experience to see Rafael, and how many teams did they step on to go to last season's unbeaten run, and no one would have much affection for the executioner.

But they are all adults, and of course they will not make childish exclusions to Raphael, they will nod to each other when their eyes meet, and there will be no too much communication, that's all.

Maidana, who came to San Juan with Rafael, was the starting centre-back, so Rafael had to sit on the bench on the sidelines and hold his chin in front of the spectators.

There weren't many fans in the stadium, and Rafael remembered that the night before, he had seen a fan leave a message on his Facebook page, lamenting that the match could not be played at the Monumental Stadium, otherwise they would have filled the stands for him to welcome him into the national team.

Raphael didn't feel sorry for it, anyway...... He played for the Argentine national team and went more in the future, but he is very grateful to the fans for their kindness to him.

In this game, Battista discharged 4-3-3, these players were carefully selected by him from various clubs in the country, they were only assembled yesterday, and they will play today, and there is basically no tacit understanding, most of them are just the basic cooperation of professional players.

This is also the disadvantage of the national team competition, the players have too little time to train together, but Venezuela is similar, and in terms of individual strength, it is even worse.

So not long after the game started, the Argentine team took the initiative on the field, and in the 7th minute alone, striker Morales from Sarsfield almost scored with a powerful shot from 20 meters out. Venezuela's goal didn't last long, Argentina took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 20th minute, López made a long pass from the backfield, Valeri's header was ferried, and Chavez scored with a right-footed shovel from 6 meters at the back point.

However, Venezuela equalised ten minutes later thanks to a defensive mistake by Guò Maidana.

Soon, the Boca duo's capathy at club level began to show, and five minutes later, Moncher came back with the help of his team-mates.

When Rafael replaced Morales in the 15th minute of the second half, the score was already 3:1, and three minutes ago, Moncher won the ball in midfield and took two steps forward, and fired a powerful right-footed shot from 30 meters away from the goal, the ball went straight to the net, and scored another goal.

I have to say...... Venezuela's lineup this time is really the strength of the belly, and the defense is basically useless, Rafael felt that Venezuela was really here to train when he watched it off the field, and completely put the victory and defeat out of the equation.

So much so that when he came on the field, Batista told him: "Play how you want, whatever you want, be careful, I don't want Angel to call me harassing in the middle of the night." ”

Uh, so Mr. Capa is so rogue?

Although it was Rafael's first international game, he couldn't get excited......

He felt that the Venezuelan U20s he had met in the South Youth Championship all looked better than the senior team in this year...... Well, it is also possible that he was delusional that his strength was reduced due to altitude sickness at that time.

Although he was not excited, Rafael was not polite to the other party at all, he was not coquettish, is he worthy of his playing time of only a few dozen minutes now?

Raphael worked very hard, and Venezuela was very sad.

In fact, their kind of national team, to put it mildly, is called carefully selected, and the ugly point is that it is a team that is put together, which is really suitable for people like Raphael who have super individual ability.

Rafael also doesn't expect those temporary teammates to send him sitter balls. Opportunities, they are all created by themselves.

When Argentina launched another wave of attacks, Valeri's long-range shot from outside the penalty zone was saved by the Venezuelan goalkeeper, the opposing defender passed the ball to the front, but before it could be passed to the midfield, Rafael was actively tackling the ball and brought it back to the forbidden zone.

Rafael broke the ball very elegantly, and when he passed by, he stretched out his foot and took away a football, and the Venezuelan player ran two or three meters before he was shocked to find that the ball under his feet was gone!

Rafael swooped forward down the flank, cut inside at the top of the arc and slid past a Venezuelan defender before firing a long-range shot that grazed the far post and into the back of the net.

At 4:1, Rafael came on for just three minutes and created a goal for the blue and white.

……

At the end of the game, Batista made six substitutions and used up all the places. It's the same for Venezuela, but unlike the Argentine players who are eager to get on the pitch, they just want to get off the pitch and don't want to play at all...... They felt that their bodies and spirits had been greatly damaged in these more than 90 minutes.

Although there is a huge disparity between their strength and Argentina, Argentina should not be so excessive, right? Be a man and leave a line, and we will see each other in the future!

That's right, the one who caused such a murderous score was Raphael, who was dedicated to brushing the number of jù.

Since coming on the pitch, Rafael has shown that he is extremely scary when he makes a tackle and then shoots all the way through.

After he scored a goal, as soon as the Venezuelan players saw him coming, they didn't dare to keep the ball at their feet at all, and immediately passed the ball away, so that the other Argentine players seized the opportunity to expand the score again.

If the strength is insufficient, whatever you do will be caught by the opponent. In the back, it was basically Argentina bombarding the Venezuelan goal, and Rafael was the shooter on goal.

After 6:1, Rafael broke through with the ball in the middle of the field, decisively divided the ball in the face of the opponent's bag, and his teammate who inserted it at the back point scored another goal.

After 7:1, Venezuela bottomed out and completely stormed.

In the last few minutes, they have completely forgotten that this is just a friendly match, and the scramble began to become extremely fierce, especially once Rafael was ready to get the ball, the hatred was directly OT, and no one could pull it, which also made Batista have to waste a substitution and replace Rafael again.

It's just a friendly match, and the injury outweighs the loss.

However, Batista was very satisfied with Rafael's appearance, with two goals and one assist, and Rafael's debut was as perfect as ever.

It reminded him of his plans...... No one is more suitable than him.

So Batista gave Rafael a chance, and ten days later during the international break, he called up Rafael again.
