Chapter 242

After leaving Raphael's room and returning to the room to check Louis' sleeping position, Hughes came downstairs, ready to have a drink with Byron.

He'd never been addicted to alcohol, but now he needed something to help him express the pleasure that had been lingering in his chest.

Byron huddled by the fireplace with his notebook in his arms, and his size made him look like a penguin warming himself by a fire.At this moment, seeing Hughes coming down from upstairs and going straight to the bar, he said clearly, "Rafa refused?"

"He will pursue his own dream." Hughes said briskly.

"If I don't understand the young people of today, I never have any dreams." Byron muttered.

"No? Who thought they could be Bond?" Hughes laughed at him. Yes, this "penguin" with unique aesthetics was attracted by MI5's innovative Bond recruitment advertisement at the time.

"But they fucking let me be the logistics support! Fuck them!" Byron continued to immerse himself in the game angrily.

Hughes was not affected by him, he hummed "Tom Thumb" softly, causing Byron to look at him angrily, and saw that this guy looked so happy and so alive.

He knew why Hughes was happy, why he was happy.

This guy must have thought of the picture of being kissed non-stop by Louis when he told Louis the end of the "Tom Thumb" story in the afternoon.

But Byron is tired of him these days, because seeing Hughes like this, he always subconsciously thinks, if Hughes hadn't received the mission code to retreat early, what would be waiting for him and Raphael? what?

He couldn't even think about it.

In the end, he could only drop his notebook and walk to the bar, complaining about "silly dad".

Daddy Silly didn't mind, but said, "Didn't you have a good time with Louis this afternoon? You must have felt the joy."

Byron shook his head and shook his head like a rattle. "No, Louis and I are good friends. Being a dad is too tiring for me. I don't want to. We need to maintain our friendship."

This was obviously a choice that Byron would make. Hughes handed him the wine glass and clinked glasses with him. The red wine entered his throat, and he smiled unconsciously again.

Byron was really afraid of him, so he changed the subject and said, "Did you call Madam?"

The lady was, of course, the retired Mrs. Stella Leamington.

Let Mrs. Leamington, who has already retired, call here, and I also know that there must be royal orders behind it.

"Not yet. She must be with her family now. Let's save these things for tomorrow." Hughes said lightly.

"Why did they start to pay attention to football?" Byron was a little incredulous, "This kind of thing would not have happened ten years ago."

Ten years ago, the United Kingdom was still under the rule of the Iron Lady. After the Hillsborough tragedy, they did not even allow English teams to participate in the European war. Now the royal family actually pays attention to a player?Byron thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's still for the bid to host the World Cup. Of course, the times are different."

Hughes' mind was no longer on these matters, he nodded, full of perfunctory, and Byron chatted with him about games when he saw this.

After the merger of the two game companies under Raphael, they are still called Blizzard. At the beginning of this year, they launched a CS series trial version and launched it to the market in the summer.

When fans all over the world are crazy about the World Cup, CS has become popular in North America, because of the rave reviews on the Internet, it has become popular all over the world, and pirated versions have appeared.

Blizzard has not stopped developing this series. Raphael received the demo disc of the new series "Counter-Strike" from the United States yesterday, and gave it to Byron, an old player who was quite interested.Apart from being with Louis, Byron has always been interested in playing games, and now he talks about it endlessly.

"This game is very interesting, but I think it would be a pity if we can't connect online. Rafa said he would consider my suggestion, and he also talked to me about his future plans for this game..."

Hughes' eyes changed immediately, and Byron rolled his eyes at him, knowing that this silly father didn't care about games, but he was eager to understand his son from all aspects.

"He wants to hold competitions after the game is mature enough, not just online duels, but even real-person duels in the form of live broadcasts. The venues, etc. also simulate the game map... At that time, there may be many retired soldiers participating..."

Hughes thought at first that his darling might just be having fun, then dismissed the idea, or maybe it was more than that.

When he was thinking about his son's intentions, Byron was still eloquent, and Hughes didn't think he was noisy, because the way he mentioned his son made him very happy.

"If we can connect online, let's fight." Hughes shook his glass and said to the ecstatic fat penguin who had raised his butcher knife to him, "Give up, you will still lose."

"How is it possible! How could I lose the game online!" Byron said in his heart, I will let you call me Papa when the time comes!

Hughes hooked his lips slightly.

Raphael posted a Network post after breakfast the next day, which immediately received numerous likes!

"The Sun" reporter Andy set special attention to Rafael. After receiving the notification message of dynamic updates, he turned on the phone. It didn't take long to see that Raphael had more than 20 likes just a few minutes after he posted it. Latest News.

【Raphael10: Our Dream [Picture.jpg]】

Rafael uploaded a photo of an Argentina jersey.Of course it was number 10, but the name on it was not Raphael, but Aimar.

There is no doubt that the original owner of this jersey is Aimar.

This dynamic has obviously shown Raphael's attitude. Among England and Argentina, Raphael once again chose Argentina.His heart belongs to Argentina, and his dream may be to wear the blue and white jersey with Aimar and fight side by side for the blue and white army.

Although he is a paparazzi, as an England fan, Andy is feeling sad at the moment!

No, he was heartbroken!

But who can he blame?Is Hughes to blame?Such a hero in the dark can only hide his name for the sake of Daying, and cannot raise a son, if he is still to blame...

Conscience really can't make it through.

Do you want to blame the FA?

Even Andy feels that the FA is a bit wronged by this blame. Even if they have to take the blame, the FA is big, round and heavy, and the FA can't bear it.After all, Raphael never said that he had English nationality. How could England have thought that he had British nationality, and then recruited him?

After all, Rafael, who grew up in Argentina, probably never thought of playing for England...

Andy only felt that he was like a young girl who fell in love with an apprentice and a heartless man by mistake, and was let down with affection. It was a miserable relationship, but it still couldn't change the fact.

Andy liked it, and then sent a text message to his partner, asking him to pick him up at his door, and he had to rush a draft first!

Rafael responded without waiting for the Argentine Football Association to fight back against the FA. He did not let the matter continue to ferment. At the same time, he also extinguished the anger in the hearts of some Argentine fans and calmed them down.

Most of the fans watched with cold eyes, and a small number continued to scold him on the Internet.

Rafael let them go, they love to scold him, anyway, sooner or later they call him papa!

He has a relaxed mind, but most people don't have his mentality, not to mention the FA chairman Wiseman and Kelly who knew from a certain channel that Raphael had no intention of playing for England.

But they did not give up saving themselves, but continued to release some news that they did not give up through the channels of cooperation between the reporters they are familiar with and the FA, and hinted that they would wait and see if the Argentine Football Association would still recruit Rafa you.

After all, Rafael is young now, and it is normal to still have hopes for returning to the national team. What if the Argentine Football Association dies?

This is Wiseman's tactic to delay the attack, and it is also a strategy to divert the media's attention, but the British media were fooled by them in this way-they thought so too!

As far as the Argentines (mainly Passarella) are concerned, if Rafael is not recruited for a year or two...they still have a chance!We don't fight for 1999, let's look to 2002!

It stands to reason that the pressure should come to the Argentine Football Association President Grondona, but what about this one?After work, it's nothing like this.

Because of the time difference, the Arab media also reported the news a few hours ago in Europe. Today, Raphael once again contracted the headlines of all the major media in Argentina.

But Gronado ignored it.

He didn't arrange any media meeting after he got to work, which obviously showed his attitude. Two hours later, he received a call to intercede with Rafael.

If it was someone else, he might not give face, but this person is Menotti, Grondona... Still don't give face!

Menotti allowed Argentina to win the Hercules Cup for the first time. Although he has put down the pointer and no longer coaches, he still has a pivotal position in Argentine football.

Menotti's call actually surprised Grondona. At first he thought that Menotti also rejected Raphael, because Passarella was Menotti's disciple, and Raphael and Passarella had a quarrel. Menotti didn't say a word when he was in a hurry.

So he answered the call with confidence, only to find that the opposite was true——

Menotti actually came to intercede with Raphael, and hoped that he could let Raphael return to the national team on the national team match day in February!

Contrary to what Grondona guessed, Menotti not only likes Raphael, but also loves him to death!

Raphael's football is not only gorgeous, but also full of aura and beautiful writing. This is his favorite beautiful football.He can also ride through the barrier alone and become a lone hero, or he can be a member of the team, the core, the brain, the lubricant, and the most important jewel bearing.

How could he not love such a Raphael?

How could a coach not like Raphael like this?

But in the war between Raphael and Passarella, Menotti could not participate.

Because he is also a head coach, and he is a head coach who understands Argentine football and is successful, and pursues team football.

So he can understand Passarella's trade-offs, although extreme, but maybe he can build a complete team?Besides, Rafael is too young. Isn't it because he was young that he didn't bring Maradona?

Facts have proved Passarella's failure, losing to England is a shame for the Argentines!

Mistake once, Menotti does not want to make the same mistake again and again.It would be a mistake to let Raphael miss the national team like this!This may even become an international joke-Raphael is the top luxury in football, but Argentina has not yet been "luxury" enough to keep him out!

So Menotti made this call, it was necessary for him to speak to Grondona.In the end, he never expected that Grondona would not give him any face!

In fact, if he didn't come for Raphael, Grondona would of course give him respect, but this time Grondona was not happy - Raphael was a thorn in his eyes!Just looking at him makes his eyes sting!

Grondona was even delighted that Raphael was boycotted by domestic fans.You must know that after Maradona retired, Argentina did not dare to wrestle with him. No one can make him back down, and Rafael may become that one.

Grondona realized this after Raphael and Passarella fell out.But can he keep Raphael out?Of course it is impossible.So he has acquiesced to Bielsa calling him up.

In the end, everything was ready, and we were waiting for the international competition day in November. As a result, Rafael suddenly detonated the bomb this month. He actually has British blood!Forget it, after all, the Falkland Islands are at the door of Argentina, and there are countless girls who have married and had children with the garrison here, but his father is still so... so...!

From then on, Grondona expected the kid to call him directly, or ask someone close to him to contact him for help.

How could he turn down such a billionaire?He even hopes that through Raphael, he can gain something in the thriving US stock market. Of course, if Rafael is more proactive and offers him some "help", he will not refuse.

But the result?

No fart!

This made Grondona annoyed. Did he not take him as the chairman of the Football Association seriously?

As he guessed, the fans exploded and Rafael's jersey was burned. Grondona felt that Raphael should beg him this time.

But the result?

Still no fart!

After watching the news this morning, Grondona is still waiting for a call from Rafael. After all, since Argentina is his dream, who is in control of Argentina?

But he waited and waited, only to receive a call from Menotti. The old man opened his mouth in a preaching tone, which made Grondona, who was overshadowed by his hands, very displeased, and just perfunctory.

Although Menotti was a little annoyed in his heart, he couldn't do anything to Grondona. In the end, the two broke up unhappy and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the president of the Argentine Football Association snorted coldly. He was waiting for the day when Rafael came to beg him!

Grondona obviously thought too much. Raphael was begging for help, but it wasn't him.Strictly speaking, his behavior can be called... acting like a baby.

Of course, Raphael doesn't think he's being coquettish, he just has a "little request"

Rafael wants to return to the team early and most importantly he wants to play!

The heavy pressure from the outside world and various controversies only gave him full motivation.

"No, you stay at home and rest honestly. If you have any business activities, you can also participate. I promise I won't restrain you like Ferguson restrained Beckham. But if you can't play this week, even if you return to the team early, I will not restrain you." Will put your name on the big list."

Faced with Raphael's "little request", the old Robson persisted!

The old man not only refused, but also said a lot of earnest words, why a qualified player can't refuse to rotate, what proper rest is for better advancement, so and so, and so and so, he is like a mother-in-law like a monk chanting scriptures.

Raphael delivered it to the door by himself, but the old man could only mutter about it for more than ten minutes, but he didn't change his mind in the end.

"Don't let me play, I also want to go back to play football. I am not sick and I have a good rest. You can't deprive me of the joy of playing football. This is the way I enjoy football."

The old Robson didn't open the door, but the goalkeeper coach who was closer heard it. He grew his mouth and refused to let him return to the team early. It turned out to deprive him of the joy of enjoying football?

Is Raphael so eloquent?

Old Robson was scared!Scared!

"Okay, you will return to the team tomorrow, but let me emphasize once, you will not play this week." What can the old Robson do?He can't refuse Rafael to enjoy football and enjoy happiness, right?

So Juan was delighted to find that he no longer had to live the life of being made dumplings by the media every day!He ushered in a happy life of commuting with Raphael's helicopter!

The staff at the Pinettina training base didn't even heat up the lawn when they saw Rafael's helicopter land on the tarmac specially designated for him by Moratti.Then they saw Raphael greeting them, the early morning bird who knew each of them by name.

They saw Rafael and Juan warming up in hats and gloves after changing in the locker room.

If such hard-working players belonged to Italy...

Thinking about what happened to Rafael recently, they were heartbroken.

Juan accompanied Rafael to warm up and stretch for more than half an hour, but Juan did not show any impatience.He recently even signed up for a yoga class at Rafael's suggestion, because Rafael said it would reduce injuries and prolong his career.

Of course, although he signed up obediently, he still had some doubts deep down in his heart. Could it really have such an effect?

Then he was exposed by his good brother Javier!Only then did Juan know that his male god had not only practiced yoga, but had also taken many modeling classes with Veronica!

So Juan not only went to class, but also studied the most seriously among the female students in a room. Even if it was published in the Italian tabloids, he didn't mind being laughed at by his teammates.

He didn't want his future to end prematurely due to accidents before it even started.

When Zanetti came to the base, he saw Rafael and Juan like this. Instead of waving at them, he changed his clothes faster and joined their camp when he came back.

Raphael just said hello to Zanetti, he didn't mention everything that happened on this vacation, and Zanetti didn't ask.

There will be a day, Zanetti thought, the day when he and Raphael will become teammates of the national team again!

On this day, the Pinettina training base was the same as before. Although there was a little less sand sculpture atmosphere, generally speaking, everyone was not affected.

As a result, after the training on the second day, Raphael found out that the old gentleman kept his word. Not only was he not selected for the squad against Sampdoria, but he was also included in the injury list. The cause of the injury was actually a muscle problem!Fuck his muscular problems!He never let himself be accidentally injured in training due to carelessness and insufficient preparation!

Not only was he unable to play, Raphael was not allowed to watch the game from the stand, but he also knew that the old Robson's kindness was to protect him, so he could only watch the game at home.

It turned out to be a big victory. The big BOBO who returned from injury scored twice and shined in the audience, while Figo made a pass and made a contribution, winning applause from the home fans.

Raphael is obviously not sick but can only watch his teammates kill all directions, feeling very wronged!

Hughes took the opportunity to touch his son's hair a few times, feeling very reluctant.

Rafael arranged for him a pension job, and he couldn't ignore it, and he also held the title of special adviser to the Military Intelligence Bureau, which also prevented him from staying abroad for too long.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Raphael let him rub, hug, and kiss him, he was simply an exquisite puppet without emotion.

"Will you drop me off tomorrow?" Hughes looked hopeful.

"No." Mo De's emotional puppet flatly refused, "Going to training, I have two training sessions tomorrow."

Hughes lowered his eyes slightly, then smiled the next moment, stroked his hair and said, "I will pick you up for Christmas."

"No," Mo De's emotional puppet refused again, "Did you go to the airport to deliver Argentine dumplings to the media?"

Hughes was amused by this description. He pinched his son's fleshless cheek and sighed: "Well, I reluctantly accept the fact that my angel won't send me off. Fortunately, I still have my little angel."

Raphael waved his hands indifferently, he was already immune to the old father's nasty titles.

Hughes flew to London the next day, but Raphael did not come to see him off. Javier consciously took his son to the airport to send Hughes and Byron.

After getting along for a week, Hughes has maxed out Javier's favorability, which caused the crying bag to burst into tears on the spot, er, more precisely, crying non-stop.

Javier is so sad, Hughes is also full of reluctance, not only his son, but also Louis, and Louis is even more reluctant to bear him!

The kid was very obedient at first, and he didn't show much when he was kissed by Byron, but when he watched Hughes pull up the newly bought suitcase (full of his son's clothes) and prepare to leave, he immediately burst into tears!The momentum is amazing!

Hughes said this almost immediately. As soon as he took it and coaxed him, the kid sobbed and hugged his neck, acting like a baby while walking.

Taking the Baby Whispering Tree that Hughes had just filled up recently, he was clearly talking about Corporal Bart, which made him dumbfounded. How could this kid be reluctant to bear him?

Javier wanted to take over his son to coax him, but Louis pointed his butt directly at Papa, which made Javier extremely helpless.

The end result?This is unreliable, the father who is used to throwing away his son simply waved at Hughes, telling Hughes to just take the kid away.

Byron: "..."

You are not afraid of your brother killing you!

Javier, who hadn't been beaten for a long time, seemed to think he had done something smart, and praised his wit in his heart, and said to Hughes, "It's okay, if he misses me, I'll pick him up."

After he finished speaking, he waved to his son and said goodbye to Louis.

As a result, his son immediately turned his head to look at him. When Javier thought his son was reluctant to part with him, his son immediately waved to him and shouted, "Bye~bye~"

There were still tears on Javier's face, and he was almost laughed at by his son.

My father could only wave his hands and walk around, not seeing what was out of sight.

Hughes couldn't hide his joy and hugged Louis to make up for a ticket, and just registered.

Byron asked in a low voice, "It doesn't matter? He will be beaten to death by Rafa, right?"

"Probably not," Hughes kissed Louis's little face, and handed his little lion bag to Byron, "At most, he will be beaten to death."

Javier, who was single and relaxed, found himself on TV when he got home.

On TV, he was crying and showing his true feelings, while the Vase host of Italian National TV was guessing whether he and Raphael were the same dad!

Javier: "..."

If I had the same father as Rafa, would I still be the only dwarf in the family?Still the ugliest one!

And that's not the saddest.

Sadly the brother who hadn't spanked him for a long time kicked his ass again QAQ after he went home and didn't see Louis!

Without Luiz, Javier dared not come here, and the family lost a lot of excitement, but Raphael still has love, football, and fans miss him a lot.

He has not played in two games, and the messages under Network are almost all asking how he is recovering from his "injury", whether he can catch up with this round of the league, and the UEFA Champions League group stage coming in the middle of next week!That's the highlight, they will face Real Madrid at home!

Raphael has been gearing up for a long time, and the time has finally come to November 11!

It was an away game against Fiorentina, and the Nerazzurri who went to Emerald with the team quickly opened the game booklet on the seats after entering the field, which printed the starting rosters of the two teams.

When they saw Rafael's name on the program, they immediately shouted excitedly, Rafa is fine!

What the fans are looking forward to is actually the media.

They couldn't see anyone when Raphael was on vacation, and after Rafael returned to work, they could only see the helicopter.Hughes has already returned to London, and it is impossible for Argentina’s extreme fans to burn jerseys every day. Victoria and Beckham attended the event together to grab the headlines, but the media are looking forward to Rafael’s return to the game, and they will use scrutiny Watch his performance.

Rafael's performance is not good, and they will naturally criticize him.

Rafael performed well, and they had something to say, they were wronged for him, and he appealed to the Argentine Football Association for that.

These uncrowned kings are full of expectations!

Batty's poor form recently is mainly due to injuries, and because of the way he plays, Batty actually has old injuries to both legs.

Someone once described Batty like this: The season started like a tiger, and it was difficult to score after the winter window.

The root cause is still Batty's injury, and the Apennines winter made Batty suffer a lot.

Florence lacks the God of War, and Raphael, who has not played for half a month, is like a young lion king returning to his territory. He shows his fangs to everyone without hesitation, and is like a clever schemer, threading needles, Precise guidance not only planned a big victory, helped the team win 4:1 in the away game, but also contributed a wonderful world wave.

At the end of the 90 minutes, Batty, who was sitting on the bench, walked towards Rafael with a slightly bitter smile, gave him a hug and comforted him.

"The future belongs to you. Sooner or later, you will definitely be able to go back." Batty sent his blessing.

"The future also belongs to you, as long as you can undergo surgery." Raphael patted Batty on the shoulder. He knew Batty's condition and knew that Batty would suffer in the future.If football can't bring happiness, but can only bring endless pain, maybe we should give up early, or maybe we should make other choices early, such as surgery.

Batty smiled wryly and shook his head. There are some things he can't say now, and some things he doesn't want to say now.

Raphael could only give him a big hug.

Photojournalists were busy documenting the moment, and it was clear to all that there was no end to it.

When it comes to the National Love Match Day in February, if Rafael is still not called up, it will definitely cause heated discussions again.

February is still far away, and the Champions League is about to reignite.

In 4 days, Real Madrid will visit Meazza!

Raphael will welcome his old friend in the Champions League for the first time, and he welcomes it with all his heart and looks forward to it.

After all, Real Madrid is one of his favorite teams.
