ball magic

What did Ortega and Raphael say?

After the game, Simeone asked Raphael gossip, and Raphael gave him a blank stare, completely ignoring the captain.

Simeone couldn't get an answer, and he was helpless with Raphael.

What?Ask Ortega?

Go to that stubborn donkey, isn't it just asking for trouble?

So what did the two discuss?

It's not a discussion, it's just Ortega and him!clear!boundary!limit!

Ortega is actually a typical No. 9 and a half player. He can play as a midfielder or pull the side on the right. His dribbling.

Even in South America, where there are many good dribblers, Ortega's dribbling is commendable.

So whether it is in the national team game or in the river plate, what he likes to do most is to use dribbling and breakthroughs to attract the attention of defensive players, create a large gap, and then pass the ball, which allows him Often become the "spoiler" in the game.

Of course, with this method, although he can easily create more opportunities for his teammates, it will also make the spectators feel that his style of play is a bit... independent.

Ortega's performance this season was particularly outstanding. Rafael even knew that he would win the Argentine Spring League trophy and the Copa Libertadores, becoming the double champion in the summer.

Because of his outstanding performance at the club, Ortega is seeking more: to play in Europe and a higher status in the national team.

As mentioned before, Ortega was officially selected for the national team at the age of 19.This is obviously inferior to Maradona and Rafael, but the 20-year-old Ortega has already participated in the 94 World Cup with the team.

Who is the "crown prince" brought by Brazil?It's Ronaldo.

The "crown prince" brought by Argentina is Ortega.

After Maradona was suspended, he missed Maradona's quarter-finals, and Argentina played against Romania. This is the first time Ortega has played as the main player of Argentina.

Although for Argentine fans and Ortega himself, it was a game that only made them sad.

The shadow of 94 is about to recede, Argentina has started a new journey, and Ortega is also eager to get the No. 10 jersey in the national team.

Now that jersey belongs to Kiley.

At the important moment when this kind of competition intensified and Ortega became more and more confident, another spoiler, Raphael, was added.

This brat with a stinky face who came to disrupt the situation has also proved his ability and ambition in the team match to get his hands on the No. 10 jersey!

Seeing that Passarella intends to treat Rafael as one of his own, after realizing that he may lose the favor of his mentor, all Ortega can do is to cut off Rafael's desire to reach the No. 10 jersey. hand!

Let this kid compete with Batistuta for number 9.

Number 10 is mine!

So Ortega promised Rafael that he would pass the ball to him, but Rafael was not allowed to do extra things.

This "superfluous thing" is already very directional. Of course, our Rafa will not care about it, because his goal this time is also to score goals.

Let's go back to the game.

When entering the stadium, Rafael was booed by thousands of people. This may even be the first time in Argentine history that their international footballer was treated like this!Still the star of hope!

But the Argentine fans still outnumber those noble Melinger masters of Real Madrid. The boos only lasted for a few seconds, and the fans gave their applause to Ortega who appeared behind Rafael.

Raphael was also indifferent to such obvious differential treatment. He just held the little caddy's hand and looked up at the sky.

The sky was blue with light white clouds, and the "May Sun" that illuminated the whole of South America was still hanging high in the sky.

Raphael watched for a few seconds before looking away, ready to shake hands with the Chilean players.

Chile's captain, without a doubt, is Ivan Zamorano.

When Ivan Zamorano walked in front of Rafael, the former Real Madrid player who had performed a hat-trick against Barcelona deliberately stared at Rafael twice.

Raphael raised his eyebrows slightly, noticing the provocation he didn't hide much.

If it wasn't for the normal strength of this guy's handshake, he would definitely fight back.

Ivan Zamorano certainly didn't come to bully the juniors, but he was indeed evaluating Rafael in this way.

The chairman of Inter Milan, Zanetti, has no secrets about his interest in Rafael and Ronaldo. If Moratti introduces both of them in the summer, Ivan Zamorano will find his next home.

So this game has a special meaning for Ivan Zamorano to evaluate potential competitors.

After the handshake session was over, the national anthem was played.

Rafael put his left hand on Ortega's back and his right hand on his chest, listening to the national anthem.

Argentina's national anthem is so long that it's usually the intro at international games.So Argentine players don't sing the national anthem not because they are not patriotic, but because they have no chance.

After the national anthem, it was time for the photo session, and a long-legged junior like Rafael could only squat in front instead of standing behind.

There is a saying that "At that time, only Tao was ordinary". Everything in the future has given this pre-match photo a special meaning——

This is the only time Rafael stood in front of the Argentine national team in his career, and it was also an extremely rare moment to smile before the game.

On this day, Rafael was 16 years and 5 months old.

His debut in the national team was a full month behind Maradona.

Maradona is still the youngest international footballer to represent Argentina, but such a young and handsome Rafael wearing a blue and white jersey still makes countless young players admire, even... envy.

Like Saviola, like... Aimar.

This is a moment when one has to turn into lemon zest.

Batty patted Rafael after taking the photo, and asked him gossip, "What did Ariel (Ortega) tell you?"

"He wants the ball, and I'm not allowed to touch it. I want him to pass the ball to me, or I will grab it myself." Raphael briefly concluded.

Handsome as Batty, Batty, who has seen countless big scenes, has a distorted expression at this moment!

Batty managed to hold back his smile, feeling that the young players are more domineering than the other, so he jokingly asked Raphael, "We can cooperate well, right?"

What Rafael didn't know was that Redondo, who had not been recruited by Passarella and didn't know that he would still not be recruited by Passarella in the future, was also an old buddy with Batty.

This Mr. Redondo, who likes to worry about nothing, is still a big mouth in front of his friends, and also likes to take care of his juniors, also told Batty to cover Raphael.

But after the first intra-team match, Batty couldn't hold back his phone and angrily spit on this worrying big mouth——

You let me take care of him?you sure?Didn't he come to grab my position?

But Batty is not too worried. Raphael's desire for No. 10 is undisguised. Instead of worrying about Raphael, he might as well worry about the two Claudios of "Bug" and "Zon of the Wind".

"Of course," Rafael's goal is No. 10. He never thought that he might be with Batty, Caniggia, Lopez Claudio, Crespo, Saviola and a bunch of forwards in the future Grabbing the position, said in an obviously ordinary, but with a "waiting for me to cover you" arrogant tone: "I will pass the ball to you."

Batty couldn't hold it back this time. While laughing, he walked to his place, not forgetting to tap Raphael's chest with his index finger, which means "I remember it in my heart".

The cooperation between forwards and forwards actually depends on the style of play and personality.

If the most "independent" forwards must choose a forward partner, Rafael may be the most popular one.

Because he really likes to pass the ball.

As a result, Rafael fulfilled his promise as soon as the game started.

The game rhythm of South American teams is very different from that in Europe.At the beginning of the game, Ortega went straight forward after receiving a pass from Batty, and used his dribbling to directly advance in the middle!

What does this lead to?

At the beginning, Chile's defensive players couldn't bear to give him a kick.

Their patience is not even 1 minute.

So the referee from Croatia served justice, took out the topaz card and lit it up, and then awarded a free kick in the frontcourt.

Ortega was pulled up by Simeone, then glanced at Raphael, and waved to him.

Argentina's famous free-kick players are actually far less than Brazil's.

Of course, we can also say that Brazil is worthy of the name of "Football Kingdom". There are all kinds of good people in the football field.

What about Argentina?

I prefer to play tricks!

For example, the most classic is the vigorous "British-Arab War" in 98. Batty and Veron jointly "fought the knife". The wonderful free kick scored by Zanetti can be described as the most exquisite in the history of the World Cup. free kick fit.

This free kick should have been taken by Ortega, but Ortega obviously gave up.

Raphael was not polite either, he acknowledged his affection, but looked at Simeone.

Simeone didn't understand what he meant, so he leaned over, and Raphael said a few words to him——

Simeone's eyes widened. Isn't this operation too coquettish? Are you afraid of breaking your waist?

His expression made the Chilean team look at him with wariness in their eyes.

Raphael and Ortega chatted briefly again, and Ortega looked at Raphael with a complicated look.

But "Little Donkey" also likes to show, so before the referee urged, Ortega started to back up, back up, back up again!Then start the run-up with small steps, small steps, and small steps.

In the impatient and worried eyes of the Chilean players, Ortega's feet, who were almost stepping forward with small steps, passed over the ball——

pretense!It really is a cover!

Raphael swung his legs quickly, and at this moment Simeone suddenly shot out!

Simeone's action made the Chilean team's wall loose, but the ball was sent by Rafael with a short pass to Batty, who was waiting for a counterattack on the edge of the penalty area!

No one to guard!

Batty is unmarked at the moment!

The edge of the restricted area!Barty!Unmarked!What does this mean?

Barty's iconic "Barty goal" is once again staged at Monument Stadium!

This goal turned the Monument Stadium into a blue ocean in an instant, and the Argentine fans kept surging in the stands, singing praises for Batty!

Batty reaped unexpected happiness. This is his first goal against Chile after July 1995, 7!

After shooting the audience with the iconic and domineering "machine gun", Batty hugged Raphael with a smile, wrapped his arms around his neck, and said affectionately: "Your brain is really easy to use, how much is it?" Reading books is still useful!"

The corners of Raphael's lips raised slightly, and after Ortega came over, he raised his hand to give him a high five.

Ortega raised his eyebrows, patted him perfunctorily, and then exchanged a hug with Batty.

Just conceding a goal, all the players of the Chilean team had complicated expressions.But the game is still going on, and they still have to work hard to take away the victory at the Monument Stadium-the worst is a draw!

Chile coach Nelson Acosta frowned at the moment.

In today's game, he formed a lineup of 532. After seeing Passarella's starting roster, he felt that his formation today was the best result after having a headache for Rafael.

But after the game started, he was a little worried when he saw the position of the Argentine players, and worried whether his defense could withstand Argentina's violent attack.

Of course it will be a mad attack. Passarella’s lineup today is 343. The two full-backs, Sorin and Zanetti, will inevitably step in boldly. Rafael, Batty and Ortega form a trident. Simon Ni and Almeida are responsible for sweeping and intercepting, which is going to be a big fight no matter how you look at it.

Nelson has concerns, mainly about his two flanks.

Because 5-3-2 ensures that the defense is stable enough to the greatest extent, but whether the two sides can withstand Argentina's offensive depends on the players on the field.

Conceding a goal at the beginning, Chile wanted to control the rhythm and was not in a hurry to counterattack.But what's the use of controlling it for a while, isn't it about launching an attack?

Especially Chile itself is fighting against counterattacks today.If Argentina is not allowed to press, how will they find space?

But the one who couldn't bear it before them was still the Argentine who had the advantage of home court!

We can name names, the restless guy is Rafael.

Rafael was impatient with Chile's lukewarm back-and-forth and then trying to find Ivan Zamorano or Salas with long balls.

Today behind him is Sorin. Although Sorin didn't become a man who "rules a wing" like Zanetti at his peak, Rafael still made it easy for him to plug in, and leaned towards the middle by himself. , Waiting for opportunities.

Of course Batty saw him sneaking over, but it doesn't matter, he just needs to move the place for Raphael.

Rafael waited for a minute before stealing the ball before Masri when Chilean stud Nelson Palguez tried to pass it to Luis Masri.

In the eyes of the fans at the scene and the audience sitting in front of the TV, this steal may be chic and elegant, but Rafael was able to capture such a perfect timing after watching dozens of matches of the Chilean team repeatedly!

Rafael took Simeone's job and passed the ball to Ortega who was about to ask for the ball without hesitation, and Argentina started a full-scale attack!

If you watch this game on TV, Argentina's half has only one young central defender left: Ayala.

Even Ayala didn't honestly squat in front of his house, he also cruised around the middle circle.

Ortega kept the ball at his feet after receiving a pass from Raphael.

This is both to attract defensive players, but also to wait for teammates to plug in.

Of course, it is because of his good skills that he can be so awesome (sticky) and force (ball). Seeing that Ortega was outflanked by three people near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, the rest of the Argentine players not only did not step forward to respond, but also ran in a leisurely manner. .

That's right, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of spectators, this little dwarf who had no one to help him "in place" turned left and right, moving around in the small area of ​​the restricted area, singing and dancing.

The Chilean defenders must really want to give this little guy a kick at the moment, just like at the beginning of the game, but this is a restricted area!

Ortega moved left and right, and Rafael had already run to the left.

And Rafael's running did not escape Ortega's eyes and ears, even though there were three or four extremely obstructive strong men in front of him, it did not affect his observation of his teammates' running positions.

Raphael's running position at the moment made him a little subtle, and he had to be subtle, because this kid knew his heart very well.

If the description is more specific, Ortega feels that he and Raphael have a little...a tacit understanding.

At this moment, the "little donkey" didn't know that he was not the only one who thought this way. Rivaldo and Jaminia both thought this way. At this moment, Ortega got rid of "in situ" again.

In the tiny space, Ortega miraculously passed the ball to Raphael!

At this moment, Raphael is like a cheetah that has been lurking patiently for a long time, killing it diagonally at the fastest speed!

Ortega passed the ball very high and was very confusing. Raphael picked it up lightly and headed it slightly. After adjusting the ball, he didn't shoot. pass the ball!

The ball was passed to the left by Raphael.Thorin appeared there after the inside cut.

Sorin didn't even look at the defender, jumped high and headed the goal!

It was definitely a surprise header and the distance from the goal was also good, but Chilean goalkeeper Nelson Tapie put out Sorin's hopes with a superb save!

But the opportunity still belongs to Argentina!

Simeone, who was plugged in later, made another shot. In the blink of an eye, Chilean central defender Pedro Reyes suddenly rushed out and blocked Simeone's shot with his body!

This time the Chilean did not make another mistake, and another central defender, Ronald, cleared the ball to the midfield in a hurry!Chile strikes back!

But Ayala didn't give the Chilean a chance, and he passed the ball forward again faster than Ivan Zamorano.

The Argentine offensive continued.

Ortega, who retreated this time, once again controlled the ball under his feet.

Raphael paced slowly, watching this guy surrounded by immortals.But what surprised him was that Ortega quickly transferred the ball to him this time, and Rafael rushed to the goal without hesitation!

His debut should be embellished with a goal, and he wants to collect this jersey for Veronica!

So after the ball reached his feet this time, he didn't want to pass it out again!

The moment Rafael received the ball, the Chilean teenager Cornejo, who served as the midfielder today, rushed towards Rafael!

He must intercept this kid immediately, he must!

He had seen the highlights of Raphael in Dekko before, and the impact that Raphael brought to the defense was simply tingling.

Chile coach Nelson stood up the moment Rafael rushed to the penalty area without hesitation after receiving the ball, and ran to the sidelines to supervise the battle!

Before the game, he repeatedly emphasized in the locker room that the Argentines are dual-core today, not just Ortega!You have to treat this red-fried Europa boy as a bigger problem than Ortega!

In any case, he cannot be allowed to break into the penalty area easily, let alone threaten the goal!

In fact, his players do it too—or at least, want to do it.

Rafael is now enjoying Ortega's treatment. There are already three Chilean players in front of the defense, and it seems that he is convinced that Rafael will not pass the ball.

They bet right, the ball is under their feet at the moment, there is enough space, and Rafael, who has already started quickly, has no intention of passing the ball!

Not to mention observing his teammates' running positions, he didn't even waste a glance from the corner of his eye on his teammates.

All his attention is now on the Chilean defense.

He was assessing, thinking, thinking about how to rush through the line formed by Cornejo and today's right center back Luis Chavallia and right back Castaneda who had given up on Sorin and ran towards him.

But Castaneda's reaction was still too slow.

In the next moment, Raphael took the initiative to rush to the first choice gift package in his heart, Cornejo!

Cornejo is actually a central defender, and a forward central defender. Today, Nelson sent him to play as a cameo midfielder.

The moment Raphael received the ball, the guy bravely rushed towards Raphael, but at this moment the guy was confused - when Raphael rushed towards him at a faster speed and with a courageous momentum, This young central defender's mind was stuck for a moment. Should I put a shovel or turn around?Raphael is too fast, if I want to continue to defend, it seems that I should...

The trouble lasted for a few tenths of a second, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore, because he had already become the first poor background board that Raphael passed.

The moment Cornejo subconsciously wanted to shovel, Raphael easily changed direction, passing him that easily!

When he just turned around and tried to keep up with Rafael again, he saw that Rafael changed direction again while running and easily passed Chavarria. This made Cornejo desperate!

Just when he pinned all his expectations on Castaneda, Rafael only gently provoked the ball against the Chilean right back who was shoveling, and he didn't even bother to change direction again. Go over this time-wasting barrier and face goalkeeper Nelson Tapie!

Facing the Chilean goalkeeper who played bravely today, Rafael shot without hesitation during the run!

As he had envisioned before breaking through Cornejo, he rubbed a beautiful arc with the outer instep of his left foot!

The left foot easily completed the shot. Although it was judged whether the arc of the ball was as expected at the moment of the shot, Raphael's eyes were still watching the ball in the air until it passed Tapi's right hand perfectly. , Drilled into a dead corner and fell into the net!

This made him a little satisfied, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were proud.

This is his first goal, there should be no flaws.
