ball magic

At 6 p.m., Aimar said goodbye to other "classmates" on time.

This is actually the school that the Valencia youth training camp cooperates with. All the students who leave school at this time are youth training players who play for this club.

And he is the outlier here.

Unlike these children who are two years younger than him on average, Aimar did not go home with everyone, nor did he choose to ride a bike or take a bus, but walked to the parking lot.

He has a driver's license. In order to make commuting more convenient and save time, driving is the first choice.And he owns a luxury car that countless peers yearn for and envy.

Because it is a white, elegant, low-slung convertible car that is simply enviable - the BMW Z3.

This is definitely the most coquettish convertible sports car of this era, and it doesn't look like the model that Aimar would choose.But it was a gift, a dusty treasure given to him by his good brother Javier.

Because it was quietly left unused in the garage of the ordinary single-family villa where Aimar lived.

"It was a gift from Rafa. He said he would give me a car if I learned how to fix it. He always keeps his word, you know. I wanted to do some work on it when I got it. Remodeled, but soon Ronnie gave me another Ferrari, so you know bro, I'm happy to pass it on to you. You might have to wipe it down though, and if it won't start, you might have to hire someone Come get the car towed away..."

Javier talked to him on the phone like this at the time, and heard him repeatedly emphasize that the car was not that expensive. It cost less than 2 US dollars at the time, and it had been idle for two years. He had to pay for the repairs, but Can he introduce a reliable car repair shop...

But the real reason for Aimar to accept this gift was that Raphael had already brought a bucket of water, picked up a rag and began to remove dust.

How could he refuse this?

Of course, Aimar also admitted that when he wiped it clean with Rafael, he had to admire its beauty and realized that it must be expensive.

Raphael also rarely shared Javier's stupidity with him while they were cleaning the car together.

"Ronnie sold well on her first album, you know the sales, and it put her in a lot of cash. He and Ada had settled down and she gave him that Ferrari. He was very pleasantly surprised, but only a few times."

Raphael raised his eyebrows when he saw Aimar's puzzled eyes when he said so, "Ferrari, that's a Ferrari. Ada is pregnant, who does he want to take for a ride?"

It sounds like this is indeed a story that begins with surprise and ends with tragedy.

Aimar laughed unkindly.

Raphael skillfully helped him replace the piston battery and lubricating oil, and then they drove it to the nearest 4S shop for maintenance.

In the shop, Raphael caused screams from some shop assistants, but soon they found Aimar. After paying a few autographs and waiting for several hours, waiting for them to come out of the 4S shop, this The new Z3 has been refreshed and restored to its original glory.

Raphael drove him to the beach for a drive, and they took advantage of the fact that there were few tourists on the beach in the evening, stepping on the soft sand, eating ice cream, and enjoying the sea breeze of the Iberian Peninsula.

The sunset here is beautiful.

This is Aimar's first impression of Valencia.

What about after that?

Along with those memories, it belonged to him and became his first car – although everyone looked at it in awe when he first drove it to the training base in Valencia.

It's not because of the price. After all, although this car is a BMW and a good car, it's not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.

Everyone just sighed that he would buy such a showy car.

"Who encouraged you to buy this car? Do you have a girlfriend? Or are you looking for a nice girl?" Claudio also asked him.

"I didn't spend a single peseta on it, it was a second-hand car given to me by a friend... Aimar had to explain it to his teammates like this at the time, but in exchange for unanimous distrustful looks.

"Please give me such a friend. My father will not even give me a BMW. He will only buy me a third-hand or fourth-hand classic car."

"I have a used car too, but it's a 15-year-old pink Beetle, pink! I can't say no to it - it was 'given' to me by my mum!"

Aimar could only report the name of his good brother, "It's Javier."

Keeley looked disbelieving, "That kid Javier (Saviola) can't be that rich!"

Aimar had to explain, "It's Rafael's brother Javier. I live in his house now, which has been silent in the garage for several years."

Everyone immediately stopped discussing issues related to the car.Valencia is also one of the strongest teams in La Liga, apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona and the recent rise of Depor, they have to be counted.Everyone's salary is not low, a BMW does not make them envious, but they are interested in Raphael.

"Bug" Claudio and Keeley Gonzalez are no exception.

Kiley is Aimar's predecessor in the River Plate team, and Claudio was selected for the national team by Passarella, and was even selected for the 98 World Cup.

It is also for this reason that they have almost no friendship with Rafael, but the locker room of the Argentine national team is full of legends about Rafael-the legends are often "made" by Simeone.

So Aimar can only choose some questions to answer these teammates who are like curious babies, and the strange thing is that this makes him quickly integrated into the locker room, and it also makes Aimar wonder in his heart, is this what Simeone "made" "The reason for the legend?

But integrating into the locker room does not mean that Aimar has adapted to Valencia.The 16th place in the league also cast a shadow over his heart.

It was these pressures and shadows that made Aimar fall in love with this car. He raised the roof to let the blazing sun of the Iberian Peninsula fall on his body at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and let the wind take away all troubles. This is him Ways to relieve stress.

Instead of going to bars, he never liked alcohol.

Instead of calling his family, he never wanted them to worry about him.

Not to mention calling Rafael or Saviola to confide, he is not a soft guy, and he firmly believes that the team's performance will improve.

It took more than half an hour to drive from the training camp to his home. On the way, he turned a corner and came to a familiar supermarket. He lowered the roof and locked the car door. Aimar quickly replenished the ingredients with the list he had written long ago.

"Pubrido," the cashier girl who was already familiar with asked with a smile, "Have you tried the recipe I wrote to you last time? How does it taste?"

In the whistle of the staff next to him, Aimar could only say dryly: "I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I have a fixed recipe. I will try it if I have the chance. Thank you."

The same voice has a different melody in the girl's ears. The Argentinian accent should be a little blunt, but because of Aimar's tone, it sounds a little soft, just like his curly hair.

The girl smiled and winked at him, "I think you will play in the UEFA Cup tomorrow, right?"

"I hope too." Aimar still said dryly.

Fortunately, he didn't need to say anything more, because he could finally pay his bills.

He took out his wallet, thanked him after paying, and then breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car with a big paper bag in his arms.

Maybe he should buy from another supermarket.

Or maybe he should settle this last supper outside?

But he didn't bother him for long, because in Buenos Aires, that "romantic city", there were always some passionate girls.

But Aimar has no interest in love, which makes him not only reject the girl introduced to him by his good brother Saviola, but also reject the good girl Anna he knew since childhood.

"Is football the only thing in your life?" Saviola asked him puzzled, "I have never heard that being in love affects playing football."

"But being in love takes time, and I lack time."

This is the answer given by Aimar.

A relationship may start with good looks, but after the initial good impression, cultivating a relationship is like cultivating a precious flower. It requires careful management, time-consuming, long-term companionship, and dedication.

And football needs these too.

He has to spend countless hours and pour countless sweats, and needs to go all out and give everything.And even in his spare time, he is used to staying in the training camp with younger teenagers to receive supplementary lessons from teachers.

He wants to be admitted to the University of Valencia, or the Polytechnic University is also good.Maybe it's finance, maybe it's computers, these also take a lot of his time.

"You said a little less." Saviola complained, "You still have to call Raphael, you obviously love him more than me!"

Because it is true, Aimar is irrefutable, which made him tell his friend after thinking, "With Rafa, I see a wider world. Not just football, but a lot. The most important thing for me now is football. , but we are not yet 20 years old, we may play football for more than ten years, after that? After retiring, what kind of life will we be like?"

That's not how someone who's just starting out in his career would think!

Saviola thought, but he was indeed a sincere and loyal friend. He said to Aimar: "I don't know, but I think you should still have me in your life."

This made Aimar laugh out loud, assuring his pal that their friendship would live on, too.

Of course, the two Javiers will always be his friends, and Leo should have grown up at that time, but what will Raphael's world look like at that time?When the world mentioned Raphael, how would they introduce him?

After arriving in the community, Aimar slowed down the speed of the car. Fans were already greeting him, and he responded to everyone with a smile.

When he parked the car in the garage and walked from the garage to the kitchen, he felt something was wrong the moment he entered—the cute warm orange kettle was on the stove, he hadn’t used it in the morning, and he had washed all the dishes before going there base.

The kettle was a little warm, which further confirmed his opinion.

He realized something, walked out of the kitchen quickly, came to the living room, and saw a flat backpack on the sofa, a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses on the coffee table, and a black baseball cap with the LA logo next to it.

This is definitely a very familiar three-piece suit!

Aimar went up the stairs almost immediately, his mood was more excited than the sound he made when he went up the stairs.

Among the four bedrooms on the second floor, he walked towards his current room without thinking.

Of course it will be here. Raphael will definitely not choose the room of the Javier couple, the baby room and Veronica-in fact, this is the reason why he chose Raphael's room to live in, and he feels embarrassed.

Raphael's room is different, why choose his room?

But he changes his mind, Rafael surprises him, and he wants one in return.So he slowed down and opened the door almost silently. There was no Raphael in his eyes. Instead, he saw a cute little angel lying on the bed, Louis!

A smile immediately bloomed on Aimar's face, and he slowly approached the little angel, looking at the baby's appearance after falling asleep like that, and even gently wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his fingers.

But the next moment he turned around, the child is here, it is impossible for Raphael to go out, such a person——

The man he was looking for walked towards him with wet steam, still wet drops.

The author has something to say: There are two updates.

It's late, it's long, and it's heartbreaking.
