ball magic

Rafael went to the dressing room with Aimar on the second day, because he was assigned the number 9 jersey, so he got the number 9 wardrobe.

A new player joins, and he is still a very important player. As the captain, Cambiasso let go of his personal prejudices and personally introduced him and all his teammates.

"Everyone met yesterday, this is Rafael Rodriguez, our new teammate." Of course, that's all, he will not introduce Rafael's teammates one by one.

Raphael met everyone's gaze and nodded lightly to everyone, which was regarded as a greeting.

There are a total of 18 people in the squad, and the only one who directly conflicts with Rafael is the former No. 9 forward Romeo, and Aimar treats him first, so although Rafael did not receive applause, he did not receive any provocation.

Aimar was hesitant to introduce his teammates to Rafael one by one, but he saw Rafael walking towards the cabinet, and he didn't mean to greet everyone one by one.

All right, Aymar thought, then I won't worry about it.

But seeing that Rafael still had a dirty face when changing clothes, Aimar laughed, and the baby's face was full of complacency.He changed his jersey, and just after finishing the collar, he swayed towards Rafael "as if nothing had happened", and then swayed again.

Rafael glared at him coldly, but he didn't care, and turned around again, before grabbing Cambiasso for a few words.

Raphael looked at the "10" with his back turned to him, and snorted coldly in his heart, and endured it for the sake of showing off his stupidity a few times.

Aimar obviously also understands the principle of enough is enough. When he came back, he saw a pair of familiar leg guards in Rafael's wardrobe, and found that they were the same style in his own wardrobe.

"Is it useful?" Raphael asked him.

Aimar nodded vigorously, "Easy to use! Is it expensive? I want to give it to Javier (Saviola)!"

Like any technical player, he doesn't like shin guards because they affect his movement and are uncomfortable, but he understands the importance of shin guards and the fragility of his legs.

"Worth 10 wins."

"Ten victories? Are you kidding..." Aimar laughed after he realized it, but since Raphael didn't answer him properly, he didn't want to ask further.

In fact, he didn't have time to ask, because Raphael's eyes and attention were no longer on him, and he saw his "sweetheart"-Jose Pekerman.

Pekerman is only 46 years old, but his hair is already turning gray.He is tall and thin, with a face that looks too serious and cold, but he has been engaged in youth training for a long time, and although he is strict and demanding with young players, he is also very patient.

The moment Raphael saw him and the teaching assistants walk into the locker room, he didn't take his eyes off him, which made Pekerman aware of it immediately.

There is no doubt that Raphael is one of the most handsome players in football today.

The use of "one" is to express modesty.

The eyes of Pekerman and Raphael met.

This child has a pair of beautiful eyes, so beautiful that the media have exhausted their brain cells and carved them with all kinds of gorgeous words.Anyone who follows Rafael will see these reports.

But as an Argentine and a coach who knows something about Rafael, Pekerman doesn't like those words that are always feminine. He thinks Rafael's gray-blue eyes are very similar to Moreno Glacier, which is located in Argentina, the most beautiful blue ice in the world.

Rafael's calmness and composure on the court is completely out of line with his age, which he loves from the bottom of his heart.He even thinks that Raphael's spiritual attributes are particularly valuable. At a young age, he has a big heart far beyond his peers!

His heart is extremely hot, but his brain is extremely calm. Even at the Bernabeu, at the Nou Camp, at the Monument Ball, amidst the boos or cheers of [-] to [-] fans, he remains as calm as ever.

Raphael's performance surprised him, even impressed him!He didn't know what the kid went through after leaving Boca.When he appeared in the La Liga field, he brought a thunderous shock to the football world!

This child who is too calm has no successors, nor is he a meteor. In addition to his amazing stability and golf quotient, what is even more commendable is that he still has growth potential. The Moreno Glacier moves forward by 30cm every day, and Raphael It is also making progress.

Pekerman liked Raphael, no doubt about it, but he didn't show it, he didn't even look at Raphael's eyes that he loved so much.

He said to the youngest players, who are only 19 years old: "We will prepare for 5 days at the Ezeiza training base, and then we will go to Asia to prepare to adapt to the climate, environment, and venue that are completely different from ours. I have prepared a team training session for you today, the afternoon is free training time, you can participate or rest."

"Before the training starts, I first want to emphasize discipline. It is not allowed to be late or leave early without reason; it is not allowed to leave the training base without leave; it is not allowed to accept media interviews without permission."

And 20 years later, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, in that information age, new stars no longer need to prove themselves in the World Youth Championship, they have already emerged.Now in 97, and even in the next 10 years, the World Youth Championship is still the most important stage for new stars.

Argentina with Rafael is undoubtedly the biggest favorite in the World Youth Championship. Apart from them, France with Henry and Trezeguet, and Spain with Raul are also attracting attention. Of course, their mortal enemy Brazil is also indispensable.

So Argentina is naturally also the focus of the media. Pekerman does not want these children to be exposed to the media too much before winning the championship.

They should focus on training every day and prepare for every game with all their strength.

Pekerman is not a coach with an "iron and blood" style. He emphasizes discipline because he wants a collective.

What he wants is not just "Maradona +10" like Bildano, but a complete team.Even though Argentina has Rafael, he let Rafael join in because he hoped that he would integrate into the collective instead of letting the collective cooperate with Rafael.

No player showed the slightest dissatisfaction at this time, and the training session officially began.

The first half hour is for warm-up and a small amount of physical training, and the remaining one and a half hours is for a game.There is no rest time in the middle, so there are certain requirements on the physical fitness of the players.

Pekerman did it on purpose. He knew the other kids on the team, their skills, their physical abilities, their personalities, and even their football thinking—but he didn't know enough about Rafael.

But Pekerman was surprised soon, because Raphael ran to the front when everyone finished the initial warm-up and started running laps, even surpassing Cambiasso who was originally running at the front!

A few seconds later, Aimar, who was chasing behind him, also completed the overtaking of Cambiasso.The poor captain gritted his teeth silently, speeded up, and successfully drove the other players.

Pei Shuai, who had a serious face, almost immediately laughed at this youthful spirit.

He liked the kids, each one of them, and he liked the chain of reactions that Raphael's sudden entry into the already formed collective brought.

"Jose, don't you mind them?" The assistant coach looked at Pekerman.

"They only run two laps, and it's okay to run faster." Pekerman smiled, and then looked at the other coaches, "Does this seem to be the 'catfish effect'?"

Hearing his description, and looking at those uncharacteristically running, chasing after each other, the coaches also laughed.

After running 1600 meters, everyone only had one or two minutes to rest, and Pekerman divided into groups.

He directly put Rafael in the main team, because he has already proved himself, he even deserves the No. 9 jersey of the adult team, let alone the youth team.

The time for Rafael to be selected is too short. Before that, Cambiasso and the others have played at least 50 games a game, and more than 80 games. Pekerman hopes to seize all the time to adjust and achieve the best Good results.

At this time Pei Shuai called Raphael.

Raphael just ran two laps, and his expression remained the same at the moment, and he couldn't see how the amount of exercise just now had any effect on him.

"Rafa, can I call you that?"

Rafael met Pei Shuai's eyes, and Feier said without hesitation: "Of course, of course you can."

Pei Shuai smiled, "We talked very early, I know you at that time, you also have a few games in Depor this season, showing the already amazing overall view, your insight and opposition. I was amazed at the control of the game. You said that Diego would be jealous of you, and I have to admit that there will be such a possibility in the future."

When Pekerman said this, he laughed first, and the corners of Raphael's lips raised a brilliant arc.

The little man's words yesterday were no longer enough to please him, this is the best compliment he has received this year!

"But in this team, you have to play a free man up front, wherever you are - central, left or right, you can run however you want, but we don't need you to drop back into the midfield, You need to score goals and keep scoring goals."

"Behind you will be Pablo, oh, I know you and Pablo are friends, I am very happy that you can become friends. There is him, there is Roman, there is Esteban and Markic (Diego Markic, in this 18-man team, there are 3 Diego and [-] Leonardo at this time), but we lack people who can attack the team and make the final decision. You are the best Candidates. In today's game, I hope to see you like this—can you do it?" Pekerman's blue eyes looked at Raphael expectantly.

The coach had already said it so clearly, Raphael knew it in his heart, and replied, "I understand, I will do it."

Pekerman laughed and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Good boy, go back to your teammates and prepare for the game."

When Raphael returned to the main team, he saw that apart from Riquelme, who had a dull personality and looked aloof, everyone including Curly looked at him curiously.Obviously they all want to know what Pei Shuai told him.

Raphael ignored them, Curly came over by himself, and asked in a low voice, "What position does Jose want you to play?"

"Forward." Raphael said blankly.

He can accept this result and understand it, but he still feels a little bit wronged in his heart——

This U20 team is currently playing 442. Among the four major midfielders, except for Makic who is responsible for wiping their ass, the other three are offensive midfielders.Little curly hair can even be a shadow striker, but he has not been able to occupy one of these three pits...

Pekerman doesn't know what's in his heart...well, that heart full of grievances, let the players get ready.Because there are 20 players in the U18 roster, Pekerman also brought in a few overage players from River Plate to serve as sparring partners.

The goalkeeper for the main team is Ole Franco, a 19-year-old who will be able to compete for the Argentine national team in the future.

Regarding the selection of defenders, what surprised Rafael was that Samuel, a tough guy, couldn't squeeze past Diego Placente in the position of central defenders!

The left back is Cufrey, the center back is Scaloni and Placente, and the right back is Serrezuela.

The midfielders are Aimar, Cambiasso, Makic, Riquelme.

The striker is Rafael and Romeo partner, Romeo is a speed forward, only 177cm tall.

Because it was the first time to cooperate, Riquelme, the midfielder commander who had not spoken much, walked up to Rafael and said to him, Aimar and Romeo, "Rafa, you are at the forefront when attacking? Let Par Breddow behind the two of you?"

In this way, it will be 4312 when attacking. Rafael nodded and said that there is no problem.

Riquelme emphasized again, "You have to go back to the defense."

Raphael raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect Riquelme to speak to him in such a commanding tone, but he could understand the arrangement.

Look at Aimar's slender arms and legs, and then look at Cambiasso's slender arms and legs now, what else is there to say?

Raphael nodded and agreed very readily.

Only then did Riquelme smile a little, and he had a few words with Cambiasso, obviously he didn't want to be a "peacemaker" between Cambiasso and Raphael, nor did he want them to The subtle relationship between them affects the game.

Cambiasso also gave Riquelme a lot of face, nodded, with blond hair hanging behind him, looking free and unrestrained.

As soon as the assistant referee blows his whistle, the intra-team match begins.

The author has something to say: It took a day to check the information, and it was all blood and tears...
