ball magic

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Rafael and Juan watched the game between Valencia and Deportivo.

This is already the ninth round of La Liga. Depor has experienced a coaching change this season and is now ranked fifth in the standings.

Valencia, who broke through the first round of the death group in the Champions League, obviously paid a heavy price, and currently only ranks 14th in the standings.

You read that right, the 14th place!

It all starts with the 4-game losing streak at the beginning of this season.

Since the start of this season, Valencia first lost to Santander, then Espanyol, Alaves, and Real Betis. It was not until the first Champions League group match that they tied Real Betis.

It can be said that this game is very important to Cooper. If he loses again, it is hard to say whether he can survive until the first Champions League game in his life.

From here, Valencia began a counterattack.

First won PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, and then beat Real Madrid 4-2 at the Bernabeu!

These two games have changed the Valencia fans' perception of Cooper, and the top management has more confidence in him.

After that, the fans saw the brand-new changes brought by Cooper.

Cooper, who is clearly an Argentine, brought them a solid defense that the Italians did not bring.

It is also thanks to this that Valencia was able to overwhelm Bayern in the Champions League group stage and advance to No.1 in the group.

In terms of offense, Valencia fans actually have nothing to criticize Cooper, because after the Argentine coached, their players played much more beautifully, fluently, and had more offensive routines.

They also hit big scores more than once.

The reason why the current record is so bad is also because of the 4-game losing streak at the beginning, and the lack of depth in the bench after the two-line battle.

Because the opposing team is Deportivo, Rafael and Juan were on Deportivo's side when they watched the game.

Although he still wants Curly to perform well and even score goals.

Before the start of the game, the commentator kept pushing Aimar and his friendship, so that Rafael never let go of his eyebrows.

Juan wants to mute, but he refuses.

The path he chose was his own, and his ability to bear it was not that bad. More importantly, he wanted to know what Aimar was going through.

As a result, when the players entered the field, Raphael saw a scene that surprised him.

The Depor fans who came to the Mestalla Stadium actually pulled a banner that was not too small, which read

"If you don't know respect, learn to be silent first!"

The director gave this banner a long shot of nearly 10 seconds, and Raphael watched it for that long.

It's hard for him to describe how he feels right now.

It has been 3 years since he left, but in the eyes of Depor fans, he and Juan may be just children who went out to make a living. Sooner or later, they will go home.

For one's own children, of course, it is necessary to protect the shortcomings to the end, and even love the house and the black.

The camera then turned to Aimar's body, and this silent camera language already implied too much.

Aimar also seemed to have seen the banner, but he didn't make any expression.

This is Aimar, with a thin body and a strong heart.

Cooper's lineup for this game is 343, which has been gradually fixed.

Rafael can see the taste of Bielsa in it, but Cooper only absorbed the essence of his eyes, and at the same time has the taste of Holland's total defense.

From this point of view, Cooper is also a coach with his own ideas tactically.

After the coaching change, Depor has also changed a lot.

The new coach Arieta also adopted the three-back system, the difference is that he did not keep up with the trend, but adopted a 352 lineup, focusing more on defense.

After the start of the game, it was an offensive and defensive battle. Valencia played quite proactively at home and continued to attack on the right.

Raphael shook his head helplessly upon seeing this.

When he was in Deportivo, none of the left-backs in Deportivo deserved to be named, and now a few years later, the situation is not much better.

In a word, a reliable left back will never be bought. Anyway, with Fran, the left side can still be used.

What Fran had to face at the moment was the continuous attacks from Mendieta and Claudio, plus Aimar who was cruising and responding from the middle from time to time.

Being beaten seven inches like this, if you don't fight back, it is of course a matter of time before you lose the ball.

But it's not that Laco doesn't want to fight back, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although there are two forwards, one is out of form today, and the other's presence is almost zero.

"It's a matter of time to concede a goal," Rafael said.

Juan glanced at the time, it was less than 20 minutes into the first half!

Well, he agrees with Rafa's point of view, and if he continues like this, he will lose it sooner or later.

But what he didn't expect was that after only 1 minute, Jaminia stopped, first passed Aimar, then passed Gerard Lopez, and shot a long shot near the penalty area!

The ball was played beautifully, although... didn't score...

Jaminia stared at the opposite goalkeeper, and Andres Palop stared back again, as if to say

What do you look at? Are your eyes big?

Rafael laughed when Jaminia almost wore Aimar's crotch. Being short is not bad, and the low center of gravity is not easy to be pierced.

Jaminia was coquettish, as if he had found the feeling, but he never found such a good opportunity again.

Juan muttered: "They defend well and can run well. No wonder they didn't lose a game in the group stage."

Rafael nodded, without speaking, his gaze was still on the little Aimar in the camera.

It has been 3 years since he gave Aimar the cookbook. The biggest change in Aimar in the past 3 years is that his weight has fluctuated from 60kg to 64kg.

If you only look at the changes in numbers, people may feel sympathy for him. On average, he only gains more than 1kg a year. Isn't this too pitiful?

But compared to these superficial numerical changes, Rafael's most intuitive feeling is that Aimar has fewer injuries, stronger confrontation, faster speed, and better physical fitness.

After the painful pre-match preparations this season, Curly said to him: "After the reserve period is over, I feel like I am flying when I play."

And that's exactly what he did.

With better physical fitness and faster speed, he can always be active in any position in the midfield, and he enjoys the greatest freedom.

This also made Rafael thank Cooper in his heart. He gave Aimar everything he should have as a No. 10 player.

But even Aimar has no privileges in defense, and the little curly is obviously defending very hard, so he almost got on the background board of Jaminia.

Deportivo missed the opportunity, and in a blink of an eye it was Valencia's counterattack.

I saw Mendieta dribbling on the right, and suddenly passed the ball to the center. This pass was absolutely coquettish. Aimar, who received the ball, sent a long diagonal pass without any hesitation.

When the ball found Keely, the nearest defensive player was 3 meters away from Keely, which allowed Keely to complete the adjustment and shoot on the spot!

The ball entered the net, Rafael was not surprised at all.

It was the only goal in the first half.

In the second half, Valencia's offensive was surging, and Depor's defense was crumbling.

After changing 10 players in a row within 2 minutes, coach Arieta was unable to change the situation.

While Valencia didn't score a goal, they were in complete control of the situation.

At 67 minutes, Aimar swam to the left and switched positions with Keeley. After the two hit the wall and cooperated to get past Naibet, Aimar made an inverted triangle and then sent a wonderful pass. Rafael had previously dubbed the striker "shit stick" Angulo scored easily!

Raphael saw this guy running up to Aimar again, and hugged him without saying a word!

He figured he'd have to talk to Curly about it again.

After leading by 2 goals, Cooper also made substitutions. He replaced Aimar and Kiley at the same time, and replaced Juan Sanchez and Farinos. Obviously, he wanted to keep the 2-goal advantage to the end.

When Aimar and Kiley left the field, they were greeted with applause from the audience.

Obviously the fans are very satisfied with their performance today.

After the substitution, Valencia strangled Jaminia to death, causing the guy to play quite depressed, and even applied for a topaz card himself.

Raphael couldn't help picking up his phone and texting him, ready to taunt him.

Juan watched secretly, and saw him writing: I have reason to suspect that you forgot your golf quotient and IQ in the locker room, after all, you often do such stupid things...

This made Juan feel a little better, so he should complain about him!

The 2-0 score was maintained until the end. Rafael was texting Aimar when he was poked by Juan.

He looked up and found that Jaminha actually asked Aimar to change his jersey.

Raphael: "..."

He'd always known that Saviola didn't like him, but it didn't matter, he didn't like the bunny either.

In the same way, he also knows that Jaminia has always regarded himself as his best friend, and Juan is regarded as his younger brother, and Aimar is particularly disliked.

Raphael actually enjoyed it quite a bit, but Jaminia actually changed his gender today?

In the next second, he realized that the little bitch was still the same bitch, even if he exchanged jerseys, it would be unpleasant

Although he didn't know what he said to Aimar, he could tell that Aimar was a little unhappy, and in the end the little curly-haired guy generously changed his jersey with him.

The signal ahead only reached here. Juan saw the end of the game and didn't bother to watch the commentator, so he turned off the TV directly, and Raphael sent another text message to Jaminia.

Juan peeked at it again, almost laughing!

I miss your son.

Juan knew that Lao Jia would definitely be jealous of his son!

A little later, Jaminia called and beeped for a few minutes without any explanation, and the background sound during the period was full of ridicule and complaints.

Apparently some people's popularity is still that bad.

Jaminia didn't bother to pay attention to them, and said after complaining to Raphael: "The kid also misses you very much, but he is not very obedient recently, wait until the winter break, will you go back to South America during the winter break?"

"Of course," Rafael said, "I'll go back after Christmas and I can fly to Brazil to pick him up and play with Leo and Luis."

Of course Jaminia knew who "Leo" was, and said bluntly, "Then it's settled, and besides, he doesn't wet the bed now!"

There was a burst of laughter from the receiver, and Raphael said helplessly: "Do you know why he hates you? It's because of your mouth! If you can't learn to respect, learn to shut up and be a good father!"

Jaminia muttered, "Learn now, sell now", and then hung up the phone after a few more words of persuasion.

When the phone was hung up, Raphael looked at the depressed Juan.

Just lost a game, why this?

Juan whispered, "I'm still not used to it."

This made Raphael rub his long hair. He knew that what made Juan uncomfortable was the change of the person standing in front of the coach's bench.

Rafael waited for about an hour before Aimar called him back.

"Driving?" Raphael heard the domineering engine sound of the sports car.

Aimar made a "hmm" before saying, "Didn't I tell you to sleep straight away, why do you have to stay up late?"

"I wonder what Jaminia told you that upset you."

"Am I unhappy?"

"You have." Μ.三ЭㄚQΧS.℃οΜ

Aimar muttered depressedly: "He is afraid that I will cheat you of your money, understand?"

Raphael: "..."

Well, this is indeed the logic that Jaminya would have.

But what he said was: "I love his son very much, little Jaminha, he is the opposite of his father, very cute, I want to pick him up when I return to Buenos Aires from London, It also gives Leo multiple playmates."

Aimar said clearly: "Do you want Leo to take care of the two brats?"

Raphael didn't object.

Aimar said: "If little Jaminia is cute enough, I will forgive his dad."

Although he was very angry, Aimar knew that he was still worried that Raphael would suffer if he could say such a thing in person.

But this can't be the case.

He smiled deliberately: "Are you so simple in his heart? I was shocked at the time..."

Raphael: "..."

The weekend league is over, and the midweek European game is coming in a blink of an eye.

This time the schedule is quite sufficient, so Inter Milan all flew to Dynamo Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, ahead of schedule.

When Rafael got off the plane, he took out the extra long down jacket, which made him laugh at by the whole team.

"Is Rafa so afraid of the cold?"

"Gomez! Hurry up and take a picture of his stupid look!"

Gomez looked at Vieri, who blatantly mocked the captain as "stupid", and then glanced at Rafael, and found that the latter didn't care about him, so he pressed the shutter button rudely.

This guy is now a "group bully" and "group favorite", which shows how much he is favored in the team, but he is also very sensible.

As a result, the guys who just laughed at Raphael just stepped out of the cabin door, and before their feet stepped on the gangway, they all shrank their necks, feeling the ruthlessness of the cold winter.

"It's too cold!" Simeone couldn't help complaining, and then looked enviously at Raphael, who was still wearing his hat slowly in his place.

This guy is like a caterpillar in cotton, it looks warm!

Raphael didn't care about them. After he was dressed, he took another look at Juan who was also bulging, picked up his bag, and walked towards the cabin door amidst the envy and jealousy of the shrunken quails.

Old Robson was wearing a thick cotton jacket, a scarf, and a wool cap. When he saw him coming down, he waved to him and asked in a low voice, "Did Aimar choose it for you? It looks really warm."

Raphael smiled slightly, seemingly reserved, but actually proud.

Old Robson thought it was great, but then urged him to get in the car.

By the next day, everyone's envy and hatred for Raphael deepened!Because today they are going to conduct outdoor training!

In fact, their envy is a little superfluous, because the equipment manager has prepared cotton clothes, gloves, hats and scarves for them, but everyone is wearing gray and fat suits. Even if someone is dressed as a caterpillar, he is too handsome. than?

On the day of the competition, just as they guessed in advance, when the "caterpillar" got out of the car leisurely with a yerba mate teacup, followed by a young man carrying a pot, the camera was all aimed at someone, who would look at Hui Fluttering them?

Cannavaro encouraged Bobo in a low voice: "You have to tell the old man, and you have to uniform uniforms in the future."

If you want to be a dusty ugly duckling, you should all be together!

"Come on," Bobo said knowingly: "The old man will definitely agree, and then say that next season will start."

Cannavaro was depressed to find that he could not refute...

With the experience of playing Galatasaray, they are still a little worried about playing Dynamo Kiev this time.

Before playing Ukraine, they were also terrified, but it turned out that the Ukrainian fans were much more rational than Turkey.

Although booing, cursing, and mocking the visiting team's standard package were also prepared for them, they couldn't understand the mocking.

But Raphael understood.

These Kiev fans obviously don't have much talent for swearing, they just keep repeating those kinds of things. If their focus of "discussion" is not his relationship with Aimar, he won't care at all, but now?

He just wants to shoot the ball in their dog's mouth!
