ball magic

Raphael had a wonderful dream. He dreamed many nights, and the only thing that remained the same was that Hughes was the one who chanted softly by his side.

Not only "The Little Prince", he has heard many stories, but Hughes's favorite is obviously this fairy tale not written for children, and he added many interpretations of his own.

He had a good night's sleep, but Argentina, with a few hours of jet lag, was blown away!

Strictly speaking, the pot in Argentina was blown up once yesterday. After all, Hughes' resurrection has nothing to do with the Argentines, but Rafael and his father showed off their father and son on the court in full view. The love made the Argentine people greatly stimulated, so stimulated that they were about to explode|explode!

After a night of fermenting, the Argentines couldn't bear it anymore when they got up in the morning and read the newspaper. This was not only a high-profile meeting between father and son, but even going straight into the room, and holding a party!This directly led to some extreme fans holding a rally, not only chanting slogans in unison, calling him a bastard, but also burning his jerseys in Argentina and Inter Milan.

The extreme fans made a wave first, and then several Argentine TV stations interviewed celebrities in Argentina to see their views on this matter.

No matter how many celebrities there are, there is actually no one who attracts attention-Diego Maradona.

As we all know, Maradona is an extraordinary existence on the court, but off the court, he can only be described in words, and he is a world-renowned mouthpiece.

Maradona fired unceremoniously in front of the camera!

"I think all this proves that Rafael is not an Argentine, at least he is not a pure Argentine who will give everything for Argentina. Look how proud he is of his father, how much he adores him - a A British agent, a British navy, a man who started a war in his mother's country and was honored, this is his hero! I can't imagine him doing his best for Argentina, he is probably the best player in football right now One of the best players, but he will definitely not be the best choice for Argentina, and may not even be the right choice!"

What influence does Maradona have in Argentina?If it was just a small group of extreme fans making trouble at the beginning, under his call, Raphael almost became a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat in his home country.

Oriol came again the next day, he was worried, and he didn't put a smile on his face like usual.

Raphael naturally knew his manager, seeing how he was about to ask a question, he saw Oriol smiled and said to him: "I'm looking for Alex, we haven't finished talking about what happened yesterday. "

When Byron saw this, he went upstairs with him. There was no one on the second floor, so it was a good time for them to talk.

Oriol came here for him, strictly speaking, for the PR company.He felt that if he didn't find a public relations company quickly, it would be easy to say that Raphael's reputation in Argentina would really stink!

In fact, it's not just in Argentina, because Rafael is not just a player now, and Hughes' status is also very special and legendary, so he has attracted the attention of the media from all walks of life. They clearly knew that Raphael had a helicopter driver's license, so they could just bypass them when they went out.

Oriol directly stated his intention for coming, and he came to ask Byron about the screening results of those PR companies.

"So anxious? Something embarrassing happened?" Even though Byron said so, he still opened his notebook and showed him the results of his investigation.

He did these with ease, and he didn't procrastinate. He took a little time to finish it last night, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in the morning.

Oriol thanked Byron after reading his recommendation, and explained: “It’s because Argentina’s domestic resistance to this matter is very strong. Rafa's future."

South America is one-sided, far away from the center of the world, but in this era of the gradual rise and development of the Internet, although the reflex arc of the Argentines is still half a beat slow, but when they come to their senses, their reaction can make Oriol, the Spaniard Jaw-dropping.

Argentines were originally the descendants of immigrants, most of them were of Italian descent, and South America itself is a melting pot of nations. The root cause of such resistance to Raphael can only be the cause of that war.

As a Spaniard, he looked at this matter very speechlessly, because the war itself was provoked by the Argentines, and the British government, which was eager to get rid of this revenge, looked like it was fighting for principles.Argentina was defeated, but the seeds of hatred remained in the hearts of the Argentines.

Even though Rafael, who had only played three times for Argentina, still had the support of a considerable number of fans in Argentina, but what makes Oriol dare not tell Rafael now is that it is this part of the fans who hate him the most. I hate him enough to call him a bastard, burn his jersey, as if his existence is the filth of this world, I hate him so much that I want to eat his flesh!

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Maradona!

"Maradona, you know, the Maradona who had a relationship with Rafael, he has a huge influence in Argentina, he said some bad things, his influence in Argentina is simply too much. Horrible, I don't know how to tell Rafa, next year's America's Cup will also say goodbye to him..."

Oriol rubbed his face, and said sadly: "Why is it so difficult? Why did he face so much injustice? When he was born, the British were having a headache, how to return that island to Argentina..."

If Maradona takes the lead in boycotting Rafael, countless Boca celebrities will reject Rafael!

Who can speak for Raphael?River bed system?

If there is no falling out with Passarella, there may still be hope. Now Rafael is the public enemy of the whole of Argentina!

War is never the child's fault, why should the child bear it?

Even Byron, who has always been heartless, became sad. He understood football better than Hughes, and he also understood the hatred between England and Argentina and the pressure Rafael was under now.

Rafael's life is not easy, Hughes must be sad, that's for sure, he has to help find a way.

"This matter is difficult to deal with, but I have a direction." Byron whispered, "Grondona."

Oriol's eyes widened, Grondona?

"No, no! If Rafael knows that I bribed him—" Oriol shook his head like a rattle, "Rafa will change me, he will definitely, he will not allow me to bribe him!"

Byron glared at him, "Who said to bribe him!"

"Then what should we do? That guy is desperate for money, if you don't give him money, can he support Rafa in this turmoil?" Oriol said "Don't fool me".

Grondona is the chairman of the Argentine Football Association. He is worried that Rafael will be snatched by Spain. When holding an international warm-up match, he still wants to think about the one who earned 30 US dollars first.

The portrait of Maradona in Argentina can be put together with Che Guevara and Mrs. Peron, and even regarded as a god!But in Argentine football, it is the chairman of the Football Association who overshadows the sky and controls everything, and even Maradona has to back down.

Byron saw that he still didn't understand, so he could only explain to him in detail, "Sponsorship, start with sponsorship. The Asian economic crisis has not yet come out, and the South American economy is also affected. Now the Argentine Football Association is also short of money. You know this better than me. .I can say responsibly that the Argentine economy will suffer in the future... In short, they are short of money."

Oriol's eyes widened. The credibility of words from a person like Byron is naturally high. If it is operated properly, it may make a huge profit!

"Argentina's long-term sponsor is Adidas, and Rafa's sponsor is Umbro. Now Umbro may be happy. You can let Umbro try to become Argentina's equipment sponsor, although it is difficult."

Umbro's traditional influence in South America is Brazil, and the reason is self-evident. Let Argentines wear British brands?Isn't this a dream?

Byron himself understands this, but he feels that his thinking is okay. "There are companies or companies that have no apparent relationship with Raphael, and if there are sponsors or can attract sponsors, Grondona will naturally come forward."

Oriol smiled wryly, "It's no different from bribing him."

Raphael will definitely fire him!

affim!

The kind that Veronica begged for mercy.

Byron asked strangely: "Why are you so sure? Although his self-esteem is strong, he is not pedantic."

Byron believed that although Raphael had principles, he was not rigid in his mind just by looking at his operations on Wall Street and the start-up company at hand.

Oriol was speechless and could only say: "Let me ask Ronnie..."

"You should ask Rafa. He is an adult, and you are his manager." Byron waved his hand, mainly because he found that Oriol was really cowardly, so he asked him, "Can Rafael's influence help you?" Does Argentina bring sponsorship?"

"If he is willing to shoot more commercials, there is no problem." Oriol gave an affirmative answer.

"Then I'll ask him." Byron walked downstairs after finishing speaking.

It's not that Oriol didn't hold him back, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe Rafa could agree this time?

Raphael was looking expressionlessly at the rock duo over there in the living room.

Juan and Hughes are holding the guitar and teaching Louis to sing.

As a literary youth, Juan also has a rock and roll heart. Before becoming Raphael's younger brother, he played guitar quite 666, and he also had his own underground band in Lacco.The past is unbearable, but the heart of rock and roll remains. Knowing that Hughes likes it, he took out his own guitar as a gift, which also made Louis very happy.

Raphael watched coldly and found that the two were as close as father and son!

Counting the clapping and croaking Louis is like the three auspicious treasures, a happy family!

When Byron came down, he saw Raphael's cold face, but this expression did not pose any threat to him. He dragged Raphael to another corner, and asked Raphael, "Ask you a question."

"Say."

"Maradona took the lead in scolding you publicly, what are you going to do?"

Raphael has been indulging in family affection for the past two days, and he didn't watch TV or newspapers, but he can still imagine the violent winds and bloody storms in Argentina.

It would be strange if Maradona didn't come out and scold him, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "National team?"

Byron nodded.

"Since it's the national team, he can do whatever he wants." Rafael said lightly, "He can only point fingers in this regard."

Byron: =mouth=

He and Hughes deserve to be father and son!This poisonous tongue is no less powerful than Hughes!

If you know a little bit about Maradona, you will know that the performance of this hero who always claims to be a commoner in the national team is enough to be the king, and his performance in the club... is actually very good. There are two Italian league titles!And led Naples to get it!

How difficult it is, you can see Batty.

If God of War can win the league championship in Viola, why would he want to transfer?

But Rafael not only won the La Liga double, but also won the double in Inter Milan last year. If there is no accident this year, the league will also defend. Maradona is indeed nothing compared to Rafael at the club level .But at the national team level, can Rafael compare with Maradona, who once led the team to win the World Cup and once led the team to the final?

"If there is a way for you to return to the national team, would you be willing to do it?" Byron chose to play a straight ball. After this period of understanding, he knew that it was useless to go around Raphael, which would make him lazy you.

Raphael narrowed his eyes, he knew Byron very well, and warned his adoptive father, "Don't do unnecessary things."

"I don't do anything, I just want to ask you," Byron still smiled, "and there is no room for me to intervene. If Grondona invites you to return to the national team, are you willing to go back?"

This was so ingenious, Raphael warned him again, "What do you want to do? Bribe him? Don't be stupid!"

"No, what if it's just sponsoring the Argentine national team?" Byron blinked.

"That's not it." Rafael understood it, and he said decisively, "I will not spend money to return to the national team, any way, don't think about it!"

Byron could only look at Hughes in disappointment, only to see Hughes holding the guitar and smiling slightly, and then lightly plucked a chord, Byron was blown away!

He has nothing to do with what the father and son are doing!

He simply went upstairs, but of course he returned in vain.

Seeing him coming back, Oriol spread his hands at him, "He didn't agree, right? I knew he wouldn't agree."

"You're right." Byron was helpless, and Oriol looked distressed again.

"What are you worried about? He doesn't care about it himself."

"I'm his agent, he doesn't have to care, it's my job!" Oriol explained, "The results of the World Footballer and Golden Globe awards will be released after the new year. This year Rafa will definitely go to Zida I run with you, but what about next year? Is he still running with me? He is obviously the best player in the world, I can't let him miss the honor forever!"

Byron was silent.

He is a fan of Raphael, so he naturally hopes that he can ascend to the throne, but Raphael is as proud as an eagle, so how could he lose his feathers for these things?

Rafael stayed behind closed doors at home, but the popularity of public opinion did not drop at all. On the contrary, because of Maradona's exemplary leadership role intensified, he became the focus of most attention in football before the winter break.

The media from all over the world have been touched one after another. Since they can't catch the deity, they can always catch relevant people. In fact, there are relevant people who can't wait to come out for interviews.

Moratti, wearing a suit and leather shoes, rode his bicycle and was successfully blocked by the media outside the Pinettina training base.

Moratti, who doted on Raphael as if he was pampering his own child, had a clear stand, and felt very sorry for Raphael.

"Rafa was born in 80. At that time, the Falklands War did not start. Why did Argentine fans blame him, and even hate him? Moreover, Rafael lost his father when he was young, and now he reunites with his father. He himself is also a victim. Or, if the Argentine fans hate His Excellency Hughes, I can understand, but cursing him, or even burning Rafa's jersey, forgive me."

"I also don't understand Maradona's point of view. Although Rafael played very few games for Argentina, the reason is because he didn't get a chance. Did he perform worse than anyone in the limited time? He I won’t lose to anyone. As for someone talking about the World Cup, I think Maradona’s fans are the least qualified to say this. Raphael refused to accept a haircut at the time. I remember Maradona also came forward to praise in an interview He didn't cut himself off, why now he just has one more father to face such harsh criticism?"

This is what makes Moratti the most upset. Although Maradona himself didn't talk about the World Cup, but now because of Maradona's speech, the Argentine media and people even started calling him a traitor again!

The old Robson's words are impolite. The attitude of this old British gentleman when facing the camera is uncharacteristic, and he can even be called cold-eyed.

"I heard what Maradona said and it struck me as ridiculous. If I could go back to 2 years ago, I would thank him for saying that, and he could say even more, because we would definitely like him to join England , He is not the only choice for Argentina! Even now I think he should have the right to choose. If Rafael cannot be selected for Argentina in the future, I hope the FA and FIFA will communicate-Rafael did not know at the time I chose England because I have an English nationality, I hope FIFA can give Rafael another chance to choose..."

The old Robson's words have set off a turbulent wave. Argentines with British blood can't stand it. Now you actually say that you want him to rejoin England?

The media clapped their hands and praised the remarks, here comes the controversy!

If the FA really fights for Rafael and Blatter, the new FIFA president who has just been in power for less than 3 months, no matter what the result is, they will have hot spots and headlines for a month!

In the end, no one expected that it would be his disciple Simeone who stood up against the old man first!

After the "crazy" Bielsa became the coach of the national team, he did not replace the new captain. This may be due to the need to balance the Boca and River Plate systems. After all, Simeone does not belong to either side.

Since he is still the captain of the national team, Simeone believes that he must maintain the dignity of Argentina. Even though he respects the old Robson very much, domestic public opinion is very unfair to Rafael, but this matter cannot be discussed!

"I love Bobby, but this time I don't agree with him. I think a few extreme fans in the country are just dissatisfied with England, not specifically against Rafa. And there are extreme fans in any country, I think they Just got carried away with anger and temporarily forgot that Rafa is a native Argentine. Spain wanted to call him, but Rafael didn't think about it. I heard him say many times that it was his dream to wear the Argentine jersey , even if you choose again, Rafa will definitely choose Argentina!"

"I hope the fans will let go of their prejudices, we have a real talent player, should have regrouped, fought in the Copa America, and actively prepared for the World Cup in 02, instead of rejecting him at this moment because of his other half, which is good for him. It's not fair."

After Simeone's statement, Almeida, Zanetti and others all expressed their support for Rafael, calling on fans in Argentina to look at this matter rationally.

Because the captain of the Argentine national team took the lead, the media did not forget to interview other Argentine internationals. There are Batty, Ayala, Veron, etc. in Italy, and the Western media are not to be outdone. Some of their interviewees are as good as Rafael Aimar, Keely Gonzalez, Claudio "Bug" wearing a pair of pants, and the one who paid the most attention was the rare Redondo who was interviewed by Spain's Sixth TV station!

Redondo supported Raphael in various ways in front of the camera, and did not agree that he was deliberately distinguished because of his blood.

"Rafael played for Argentina, he is our player, our team-mate and our future. His father was English and he fought for England. We are Argentine and we fight for Argentina. If he thinks As an Argentinian myself, why should we target him and be hostile to him because he has feelings for his father?"

Redondo even called on Bielsa to resist the pressure to recruit Rafael and give him a chance to perform, otherwise this will be a treasure missed by Argentina!

This simply pissed off Maradona!

It's okay for Simeone and the others, but Redondo actually betrayed him?

That's right, betrayal, in the ball king's heart, this is undoubtedly a betrayal.

Maradona and Redondo hated each other at first because they came from different classes. Maradona grew up in a slum, while Redondo was born in the middle class.The first time Maradona saw Redondo was in a newspaper. At that time, Redondo was standing in front of the university with a book and was photographed by a reporter.

Maradona doesn't like this guy!

How arrogant Redondo was, the two could not be said to be in the same situation, until the 94 World Cup qualifiers, Argentina almost failed to qualify!

what does that mean!

They were runners-up in the last competition!

Maradona finally reconciled with Redondo before his quick comeback, and Argentina finally went all out to get the World Cup tickets.

It is precisely because of this that Redondo is considered to be a comrade in the trenches with Maradona, and he has become one of the targets of Passarella. After all, in the Argentine team, his hair is really not long!

The results of it?

Maradona never expected that Redondo would jump out to support Rafael now, obviously against him!He was so pissed off!

In his rage, he called Redondo directly regardless of the time difference, asking him if he didn't care about their friendship, but Prince Bernabéu obviously didn't agree with the hat he put on himself.

"Of course I value our friendship, but I also love Argentina, Diego, you don't like Rafa, but do you deny that he is a real genius who could possibly come close to yours?"

Maradona became even more angry, "Don't do this! Don't think that I will be happy if you say this! The whole world expects that kid to surpass me!"

"Are you going to keep him out of the national team because of that? For Argentina."

Redondo's words made it difficult for Maradona to deal with.

He hated Raphael, hated him even more when he knew he was half British and proud of his goddamn war-fighting father, but Redondo had him too His weakness - he loves Argentina, Argentina is above all else in his heart.

But Maradona finally argued, "We have Ortega! The next World Cup will be in 02!"

"Diego—" Redondo's voice revealed disappointment that could not be concealed, "You clearly know who is the best, and who is the most likely to lead the Blue and White Army to continuous victories and crowns after you! "

Maradona was spoiled by his tone, he simply dropped the phone, and then chattered and scolded Redondo who gave him a problem in front of his family, and he didn't stop scolding for half an hour!

He originally wanted to call Kaniggia, but thinking of Kaniggia made him even angrier!They fell out!

Even the football king is a little sad at the moment. Why does the whole world betray him after he retires?

Maradona is sad, Rafael is keeping silent, in fact he is enjoying this short vacation, most importantly with Hughes.

Hughes is not reclusive, after all his ears and eyes are Byron.He wanted to talk to Raphael about this issue, and Rafael was very frank in front of him.

"I want to return to the national team, but I will not force it. But I will think about how to deal with it, for those who care about me, and for those who want me to return to the national team and make efforts."

There are so many people in this world who love him, how can he only care about those fans who are hostile to him, or even hate him?

If these could destroy him, he would have given up football long ago, and may not even live to be adopted by Byron.

What can Hughes do?He could only give his son a big hug, a kiss pouring all his love into him, but unfortunately he was still rejected by his son.

Rafael has not yet thought about what channel to use to express his position, or when it is appropriate. Oriol's public relations team also said that now is not the best time.

Raphael respects professionals.

But he didn't expect that the brain circuit of the British is so strange, everything is like a roller coaster, rushing to a high point in an instant.

The first is Toshack, that's right, Lao Tuo finally couldn't stand it anymore and came out for an interview. He accepted an exclusive interview with "Aspen".

Toshack said that he could prove that Rafael really only wanted to play for Argentina when he was in Deportivo. Even if Spain wanted to recruit him at that time, he flatly refused.But Toshack did not call on Argentine fans to treat Rafael fairly, but agreed with the old Robson's point of view.

"If a player like Rafael cannot appear on the stage of international competitions in the future, it will be an immeasurable loss. I think FIFA should pay attention to this matter. He has the right to choose which country he will play for."

The old Robson's words at the time were like angry words. According to FIFA's regulations, it is impossible for Raphael to change the national team, and there has never been such a precedent.But Toshack's words were like adding fuel to the fire, giving the British hope.

That's right, the British are paying close attention to this matter with great enthusiasm!

In the 86 World Cup, England led by the old Robson was first ravaged by Maradona with the "hand of the devil", and then staged the most exciting goal in the history of the World Cup, which is the one that amazed countless people and brought the British into the background What do the British say about the elimination of five players in a row?

They said they would rather lose the Falklands War (the Falklands are called the Falkland Islands by Britain).

Old Robson and Toshack, the two coaches closest to Rafael, said such things, which immediately gave the British people hope!

Even if it's just a spark, there's still a chance!

The British media, which had made great achievements in the Hughes incident before, robbed the jobs of their counterparts in other countries at this time.

Major TV stations, major newspapers and tabloids on Fleet Street are almost all concerned about this issue. People related to British football have been harassed repeatedly. The current chairman of the FA is almost afraid to go out. Not everyone can keep their mouths shut.After all, people are living in the UK, so how can they really not give the media any face?

The first to be interviewed was Owen.

Many people may not have expected it, but the first person to be interviewed was Owen, who scored in the European Cup qualifiers that ended in October and helped England beat Luxembourg 10-3.

"I would be very happy if Raphael could come to England. Every striker would want to partner with a player like him. No matter what position he plays, I think we can cooperate with each other tacitly."

"I don't think his arrival will crowd out my position. If it makes me lose the main position, it can only show that I am not good enough."

After reading this interview, countless British fans felt that Irving really welcomed Raphael, not just talking about it, because Irving seemed to really hope to be teammates with Raphael.

If what the previous two head coaches said was just a spark, Owen's words added fuel to the fire. Bang, it made the entire English football world boil!

When the matter was raging, even Ferguson had to accept an interview.

"Rafael's business has nothing to do with me, it's okay, but you have to ask me to express something to let me go, then I want to say that it is indeed a loss for him not to participate in the national competition. When his parents separated, he was still a child. A very young child, he lost his father when he was growing up, he did not grow up in the UK, before this month the child’s self-positioning may still be a native Argentine. Now if the Argentine fans can’t agree with him, they are forcing him to do it An Englishman? I don't understand what they're thinking. Assuming Raphael can change the national team, wouldn't they easily send England a talent who is enough to surpass Maradona? They simply choose to lose ended this war!"

Who is the top traffic in football in this era?

Is it Rafael, is it Ronaldo, is it Zidane?Ferguson is absolutely indispensable!

The words of the top traffic in the coaching circle seem to have opened up the two veins of England fans. England fans clamored for a Rafael battle on the Internet, but offline, snowflakes of letters flooded The FA mailroom!

The current chairman of the FA usually plays the role of a mascot, but the mascot is also in charge. The pressure on this Jazz is enough to imagine.

It was the current England manager, Glenn Hoddle, who brought the roller coaster to its apex.

In an interview with the BBC, he said: "Rafael is the most talented player I have ever seen, even above Gaza (Gascoigne). I paid attention to him very early. If I knew him at that time With English nationality, I would call him into the team immediately without any hesitation! But unfortunately, I did not get such an opportunity. I am deeply saddened that such a coveted treasure was abandoned by the Argentines. I will Pay attention to this matter. If Argentina continues to report voices and actions against Rafael, I will communicate with the FA. If Rafael is really not called up in the future, I hope England will have the opportunity to try to bring him back to England ..."

Glenn Hoddle was interviewed in the morning, and the reporters on Fleet Street received calls from their editors in the afternoon. The FA is going to launch a press conference, hurry up!

The author has something to say: Don’t get stuck, just make up a three-in-one.
