ball magic

When the warm-up was over and the players returned to the locker room, the old Robson waved to them, and then Mourinho took out a small box.

Everyone knows what that box is, and there are small balls with their jersey numbers written on them. Sometimes in order to make the group confrontation more interesting, or to play some small games during training, they will use this to draw lots. .

Just when everyone was wondering what this thing was used for, old Robson said: "Come here, all of you, and take a look. I put a red ball in this pile of small balls. Whoever draws it will be responsible." Today's pre-match tactical explanation. If you speak well, you will be rewarded, if you speak poorly, you will be punished."

Except for a few people, most of the players looked eager to try.Isn't it just to test whether they have listened to the training class?They are not afraid of this.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Old Robson urged with a smile.

Mourinho was the first to hand the small box to Pirlo who was the closest.

Pirlo opened his eyes that would never wake up, and found a small blue ball with 7 written on it amidst the smirks of his teammates.

However, the number is meaningless, after all, the red is drawn from a pile of blue, so the speed is extremely fast, and the first one is drawn very quickly, and it is in front of Raphael.

Raphael also stretched out his hand while everyone was looking forward to it. When he opened his hand and took out the red ball, the locker room was full of noise. No one thought that Raphael had won the lottery.

Immediately, someone shouted, "Rafael, our dear little coach, hurry up and tell us about tactics!"

Raphael glanced at "someone", and a short Italian central defender gave him a wink.

This is simply one of the three treasures in the locker room. Raphael twitched the corner of his mouth, threw the red ball to Mourinho, walked to the tactical board, took the marker pen from the smiling old Robson, and scanned A circle of teammates.

Of course, no one will not cooperate with Xiaoqiuba at this time.

Many of the players present also chose to "be in charge" after their careers ended and became coaches.For example, Pirlo, Cannavaro, Simeone, Almeida...

Moreover, in order to prepare for this game, the old Robson arranged two tactical lessons, and Mourinho, who is very eloquent, explained the profound things in a simple way. He spoke very well and was not boring.

The old man didn't want them to be unconventional, it was just a different kind of test.

Raphael did not fully repeat what Mourinho meant, but explained it according to his own understanding.

"First of all, let's talk nonsense," Raphael grabbed the blue number 10 pawn with his fingers and placed it on the left side. Obviously, the number 10 represented him. "Milan's new coach Zaccheroni gave us some problems last season when he coached Udinese, but we still won those two games. But I think we will play more easily in this game. , because now our lineup is stronger, not only me—”

Raphael paused on purpose, and all his sand sculpture teammates laughed exaggeratedly, even the old Robson laughed exaggeratedly!

Raphael let them laugh, and took another blue No. 7 and placed it on the right, which obviously represented Figo.

"I personally think that BOSS's idea is very good. I mean, move me to the left and let Andrea start-only for this game." Rafael emphasized this point specifically.

Rafael obviously prefers the middle lane. Seeing that the small ball bully was "wronged", everyone booed, and Pirlo also raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Being able to start in the Milan derby is also a new achievement unlocked in his career.

"Zaccheroni will obviously adopt a 343-[-]-[-] tactic, we don't need to be entangled in this. But if we put continuous pressure on Milan at the beginning of the game, according to BOSS's vision, considering the two full-backs Zieg and He On the premise that Erwig dare not participate in the attack, we can also drive Maldini away on the right through the various cooperation of Luis (Figo) and Javier (Zanetti)..."

Old Robson nodded, indicating that this was his idea.

"At this time, Zaccheroni may withdraw two full-backs, or even a shadow forward. At that time, the lineup may be 541. With our offensive ability in this field, this should be the main tone of this game."

"Then we have to find a way to get Milan to open the door obediently." Rafael said here and adjusted the red square pieces on the tactical board.

"The BOSS wants us to attack Costacurta in the middle, and use our offensive on the right to form a dense defense locally. But I personally prefer to attack the left—"

The old Robson and Mourinho immediately lifted their spirits, and Figo both looked at Rafael. Of course, this is not to say that they have any opinions on Raphael's statement, but to be curious about his explanation.

Rafael drew an arrow between centre-back Costacurta and Bruno N'Goti's pawns, "Me and Ronnie can keep, keep, keep putting pressure on them here."

These three continuations also made Ronaldo laugh. Let's look at this "rabbit tooth", look at Rafael's expression, and think about the picture again. It's not too beautiful...

"N'Goti's mobility is good, but his defense is not stable enough. It's not that I admire my compatriots. It would be Zaccheroni's mistake to choose N'Goti instead of Ayala."

"This is just my personal idea. If we follow the BOSS's idea, we only need to make a small adjustment," Raphael continued to draw a circle around Costacurta's small chess piece.

"If we play on the right, Andrea can come in here, or Ronnie and I can do the job. Maldini was brilliant, but after Baresi he didn't have a partner anymore. We don't need to entangle with him, he himself will be troubled by separation and lack of skills, we can attack Costacurta!"

Cannavaro was already shaking his head, he could already imagine how embarrassed Costacurta would be today.

Raphael looked at the old Robson when he said this, and the old Robson motioned him to continue.Obviously, this old man who likes to "throw away" really let Raphael continue to arrange tactics at this moment.

Rafael looked at Pirlo, "You have to run faster, don't give Diego a chance to pass you. He has won too many goal bonuses this season-and he didn't treat him."

There was another burst of laughter in the locker room. This time, even a straight steel man like Stam was laughing hard.

Whoever runs slowly defends, and Simeone has always been a monster this season, and he didn't even give Almeida a chance to use his long-range shots.

Simeone looked at Raphael eagerly, "What if I treat you?"

Ronaldo immediately dismantled, "My goal bonus is more!"

Simeone looked at him, Ronaldo looked back with a smile, Simeone rolled his eyes and shut up.

Rafael went on to praise a wave of teammates, "I don't think there is anything I need to say on defense. We have been very good this season. This is the effort of our whole team. And-we have Ji'an."

Pagliuca laughed loudly, obviously very proud of Raphael blowing him up.

The atmosphere in the locker room was very lively, and it was not bad in the stands.

Javier was originally asking about Byron's work, of course it was the kind that could be made public.But when he chatted, he also stretched his ears to listen to his sister chatting with Hughes, because Veronica actually offered to go to England for Christmas!

U.K!

Christmas!

Shouldn't they go back to Argentina, or go to Brazil, and enjoy the sun and beaches like they did last year?Why go to wet Britain?

It is conceivable that Hughes was very happy, and then he talked about the house.

"Since it's Christmas, I think a room with a fireplace is always welcome. My old country house in the suburbs has enough rooms with a fireplace, and I think it should keep you warm... You can also invite S."

And what about his sister?

She actually agreed right away!

Javier pursed his mouth slightly, a little bit unhappy.

His expression made Byron smile, and whispered: "The weather in London is not very good, but Rafa was born there, do you want to see the room Hughes prepared for him before he was born?"

Of course Javier was interested, although his younger brother may not have lived there for a few days, but this did not prevent him from being curious.

Especially when Byron said next, “We repainted it, it might be dated, but Louis might like it.”

Going to the festival for them, or even repainting the room?It was indeed hard for Javier to refuse this wish.

Byron opened the small Sony notebook that he carried with him in this day and age. After opening it, he quickly pressed a few keys to bring up the photo album. When he opened it, Javier was excited, "Rafa!"

Veronica quickly looked over, and then leaned over. The next moment, she saw on the screen that Raphael, who might be two or three months younger than Louis, was sitting on the beach topless, with a pacifier in his mouth, Holding a tennis ball, he stared angrily at the squatting golden retriever in front of him.

Hughes lowered his eyes slightly. When he saw what Javier was looking at, he looked at the screen with tenderness, as if he had returned to the summer 17 years ago, and his voice was full of smiles.

"I have to admit that Rafa was a bit of a headstrong kid at the time. The owner of the dog was playing beach tennis and the ball accidentally flew nearby. He picked it up and didn't want to return it."

This made everyone laugh.

Louis, who was originally concentrating on playing with the bow tie, was obviously attracted by everyone's laughter. When he saw the notebook in Byron's hand, he immediately crawled off Hughes' lap with his ass pouted, and came to Byron. , looking up at him.

Byron pointed the laptop screen at him knowingly, and the little guy widened his eyes, first pointed at the golden retriever and called "dog", then turned his head sideways to look at Raphael on the screen.

He looked at it for a while, then immediately looked at his father, pointing to his mouth and making a "Bobo".

Javier pretended not to understand what he meant, "Tennis? Go home and play with you, okay?"

Luis got angry, and he pointed to his mouth again and "boo boo" to indicate that he wanted a pacifier!

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Javier pretended to understand, and gave him a thermos bottle.Louis frowned, but still took the bottle while "disgusting", took a sip, and started drinking.

Seeing that Byron was about to turn the screen away, he immediately protested, drinking while watching, as if this would satisfy him immensely.

Veronica pointed to Rafael on the screen and was about to tell him that it was Rafa, but Louis suddenly widened his eyes. After a few seconds, he suddenly put down the bottle in frustration, and pointed at his curly hair, which was obviously sad. Said: "The hair is different...he looks good!"

Javier: "..."

You are my son, not Rafa's, of course it is different!You are curly!

As a result, the little guy seemed to be getting more and more sad after he finished speaking, and his eyes were filled with water vapor. He pointed to the "baby" on it and said, "Baby, Rafa! Louis, Louis is different! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ "

When he finished speaking, big tears fell down, no matter how you looked at it, it was extremely sad.

Just as Javier was about to coax his son, he saw Hughes squatting down beside Louis, pointing to the screen and saying, "Look, this is Rafa, not a brother or a baby, it's Rafa."

Louis looked at him with wet eyes, and Hughes switched photos, found a photo of himself in military uniform and Rafael, pointed to himself on it and said, "This is me, this is Rafael."

Louis looked at him, then at the photo, and still pursed his lips aggrievedly.

Hughes repeated it again, but this time pointing at himself and saying "Hughes", then pointing at himself in the photo and saying "Hughes".

Louis' eyes moved with his fingers, but after he finished saying "Hughes" this time, Louis pointed to the baby in the photo and said, "Rafa!"

Apparently, he finally figured it out.

Hughes stared deeply at his smiling face, praised him almost uncontrollably, and took out a handkerchief to dry his face.

Javier watched his movements quietly, he didn't do anything, just let Hughes wipe his son's face with a smile, and handed the bottle to him.

He didn't know what Hughes was thinking when he looked at Louis just now, but he saw a look that was so tender that he couldn't move his eyes.

Red smoke began to spread from the scene, and Byron exclaimed, and soon the Milan fans in the entire South Stand filled the entire South Stand with red smoke.

Little Louis walked to the window and looked out through the transparent glass. At this moment, the Inter Milan fans in the North Stand responded by holding up the colored paper in their hands.

Everyone in the box immediately saw that it was a blue and black background with a line of words spelled out with white paper in the middle: Belsieunangelo (beautiful as an angel).

This is a famous song in Italy, and it is also the voice of Inter Milan fans.

Hughes, who bent down to hug Louis, showed a proud smile. Perhaps he has the same aesthetics as Inter Milan fans.

The nearby planes are aimed at them again, and they are all over the world at this moment. The commentators who are following this game must be busy introducing this legendary father who suddenly popped up from Rafael to fans all over the world at this moment. .

The Milan fans didn't pay attention to the "struggle" of the Inter Milan fans. They quickly acted. Except for the North Stand where the Inter Milan fans were located, the fans on the other three sides of the stands held up green, white and red cards. , which are the colors of the Italian flag.

Among the three upper stands, the two main stands were decorated in red and black respectively, while a huge Milanese red and black sword-striped shirt covering the south stand was pulled down from the south stand, with the number 99 written on it.

Fabio Caresa, the commentator of Sky Italy TV, explained: "The Milan derby is about to start, and the fans have already started fighting. This year marks the 99th anniversary of the establishment of the Milan club, and next year will be the centenary celebration of Milan. The famous song shows their love and blessing to Raphael..."

At this moment, the referee team took the lead to enter the field, and Raphael led the little caddy and Maldini into the field side by side.

Countless applause rang out at this moment, but it was given to their players by Milan fans.

Even though Milan has signed three goalkeepers in addition to Lehmann this season, there are enough goalkeepers to form a 5-man football team, but the starting goalkeeper is still Rossi.

The right back is Chieg, the left back is Helveg, and the three central defenders are Maldini, Costacurta and Bruno N'Goti.Boban and Albertini partnered in midfield, and Weah, Bierhoff and Domenico Morfeo were on the front line.

In fact, Domenico Morfeo's position is in the position of the front midfielder, so it is more accurate to say that Zaccheroni uses a 343 lineup, rather than a 3412.

When Milan's home commentator finished introducing his squad and the players from both sides had already shaken hands, Raphael walked towards Maldini.

At this moment, the home commentator "just happened" to introduce his name, followed by endless boos, and countless people in the South Stand shouted "Raphael, go find your father!"

Maldini frowned, and exchanged a hug with Raphael when he came to exchange team flags with him, "The fans are a bit too much, sorry. Congratulations to you at the same time—"

Raphael said generously, "It's okay."

Maldini raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he heard him answer: "After the competition, you will know who will cry for your father."

Today's referee Daniel Tomborini was obviously a little nervous, but Maldini just returned a generous smile.

The result of guessing the side was good, and Inter Milan kicked off first.

After the kick-off Pirlo received a pass back from Ronaldo, he and Simeone made a pass and when Simeone passed the ball back to his feet, Pirlo spun around Boban and got rid of it. he.

The next moment, the ball was sent to the right by Pirlo with a long shot, which was in front of Raphael!

This season, Helveg, who was brought by Zaccheroni from Udinese, strode up like flying, aggressive and extremely decisive.This person is good at defending and attacking, and can also rule a wing. He is known as a mad dog-type full-back.

It's just that Helvig saw that Raphael on the opposite side was faster than him, rushed faster than him, and seemed to be able to get the ball before him.

Helvig is ready to give him a blow without hesitation!

Rafael narrowed his eyes slightly, not only did not back down when faced with the Danish right back's shovel, but when he was about to rush together with Helveg, Raphael raised the ball high, and then accelerated again!

This jump is like an antelope's horns, and it slips lightly and elegantly between Helvig's legs, and the next step is to send the ball to the goal with a long leg hook!

Ronaldo has been dormant for a long time!At this moment, the Brazilian black rabbit rushed out from between N'Goti and Costacurta, and shot the ball!

But this time Rossi, who is tall and long, made a contribution!

Rossi blocked the ball with his palm and blocked the ball out of the goal, but this freehand block became a booster for the next crisis.

The ball fell one step in front of Rafael, and the Argentine flicked it lightly as if he had stepped on the moon, and he sent the ball to the far corner of the goal!

At this moment, Rossi flew to save again, but although this challenge was very elegant, it went straight to a dead end, leaving Rossi helpless.

The moment he finished the shot, Raphael was already facing the south stand coldly, with endless mockery in his eyes, he put his hands behind his ears, looking forward to it——

Come on, call Dad!

The author has something to say: a very fat chapter.
