ball magic

Chapter 182

Although John is British, not all British people love football.

Of course, it's also because he's so busy that he doesn't have time to watch this quadrennial event.

Compared with Ashley Shaw, a small otaku with technical expertise who has chosen to drop out of Princeton, Raphael trusts John more, and what John has to manage is not just "work", he also has to pay attention to Google.

That's why he took advantage of Rafael's rare vacation, besides letting him solve the problem of financing, it was crazy to let him participate in the executive interview session-he had to ask Raphael to choose a few He has his own reliable people at his disposal.

It is not only to avoid suspicion, but also to avoid working for the capitalists himself. He has fattened him up and exhausted himself to death.

But this game is obviously different, and the difference is that John is here, and he brings a beer.

Raphael patted the beer away, and saw Javier handing his bottle to him with a flattering smile on his face.

Raphael squinted at him, Javier winked at his younger brother, he wants to be treated like Ronnie!

In fact, his younger brother just glanced at him like that, and took it over, and opened the wine bottle for him with a quick slap.

Javier is happy!

Just as Raphael was about to pick up his own beer, he found an extra bottle in front of him. This challenged Raphael's patience!

"Are you so incompetent that you can't even unscrew a bottle cap?"

He glared at John!

That's right, this is where he thinks Javier and John are idiots, this is the knob-style bottle cap, unscrewed!unscrewed!unscrewed!

John took it for granted: "I just asked you to unscrew it for me. As for incompetence-have you dated me? Otherwise, how would you know?"

The whole room fell silent.

Messi opened his mouth wide, and Andrea quickly covered his mouth with quick eyes and hands.

Raphael stared at John's slightly provocative eyes for a few times before he slapped the bottle cap off for him, pointed the bottle at him, and said at the moment John was about to pick it up: "You are not my aesthetic orientation."

Not even the sound of breathing could be heard in the room.

John glanced at Raphael, picked up the wine bottle, and glanced at the stunned Javier and the two underage boys.

The look in John's eyes made Javier couldn't help but look at his younger brother, and he saw that his younger brother was already drinking, and he didn't seem to take what happened just now to his heart.

Javier continued to put the words in his stomach, and silently picked up his own wine bottle and took two sips to suppress his shock.

He was really afraid of John. This British guy was the strangest thing he had ever seen. He was always jumping back and forth on the verge of death. Wasn't it scary?

Javier looked at the TV, he should focus on watching the game, but diverting his attention seemed to be very unsuccessful, in fact it was very unsuccessful, he couldn't concentrate at all, because only his brother was left in his mind. That sentence...

What "you are not my aesthetic orientation"!

Why is aesthetic orientation not sexual orientation?Make it clear!

Javier wanted to press his brother like this, but he... didn't dare...

Watch the game, watch the game.

The TV is heading towards the Argentine national anthem. During the prelude, the camera sweeps over the faces of every player, from goalkeeper Roa, to Crespo, who became popular in the last game, to the rebellious "little donkey" O'Neill. Extra.

Soon as the camera began to turn to the England players, the American commentator began to introduce the players of the American team.Starting from Beckham, who steals the spotlight, to the youngest player-Michael Owen.

"Owen, 19, is one of the youngest players in this World Cup, and he is also the youngest player to enter the finals of this World Cup. He is also the youngest player to represent the England national team. This series of records means that With his excellence-in the just-concluded Premier League 97/98 season, Owen played 36 times on behalf of the Premier League giants Liverpool and scored 18 goals!"

"Without Rafael Rodriguez, who fell out with Passarella, he is the most outstanding striker of his age."

With the voice of the commentary, Raphael saw John glance at him, which made Raphael raise his eyebrows.

"You're making you look like a nightmare hanging over them," John said.

Raphael didn't speak. If nothing else, this game will be Irving's famous battle-the World Cup is the most dreamy stage for supernovas!

Like Crespo, his name was known to more than a billion people overnight.And the wonderful goal scored by Irving is also one of the most exciting goals in this World Cup, second only to the masterpiece of his other "sparing partner" Bergkamp.

After the national anthem, the camera showed the coaches of both sides. Everyone knows that the coach of Argentina is Passarella, while the coach of England is Hoddle.

Passarella is the meritorious captain of Argentina and won Argentina's first World Cup. Hoddle's resume is also very beautiful. He participated in the 82 and 86 World Cups.

From a coaching point of view, Hoddle has also brought something new to England-in this cup, at least England played 3 in the past 352 group matches, and the same is true in this game.

But what is interesting is that there are 2 right midfielders on the field - Beckham and Anderton.

The reason why this kind of problem occurs is actually a mistake.Beckham has always been Hoddle's favorite in the qualifiers.But on the eve of the 98 World Cup, Beckham suddenly fell out of favor because Hoddle thought Darren Anderton was better.

In the first group match, Beckham could only sit on the bench, but he was not lucky. Ince was accidentally injured in the first game. Hoddle sent Beckham to the field, which opened the way for Beckham. World Cup trip, and Beckham seized the opportunity perfectly.

In fact, in Rafael's memory, England originally won Colombia and lost to Romania unexpectedly, but Beckham's performance was not affected.England scored a total of 6 goals in the group stage, and he participated in 4 of them!

With such a thigh performance, even if Hoddle has a brain problem, it is impossible to continue to put Beckham on the bench, let alone Hoddle's brain is not a problem at all?

Beckham started this game logically, and it was logical that in the first 6 minutes of the game, he sent a perfect 45-degree cross near the center line he is most familiar with!

As a top center forward, Alan Shearer did not miss this opportunity and scored this crucial header for England!

The England fans in the camera were ecstatic. Although the camera didn't show the Argentine fans, they knew it was endless abuse.

John was very silent watching the game, but after Shearer scored, the silent Englishman pointed the bottle at the TV to pay tribute to the England captain.

The behavior of the Argentines in the room was different, probably out of the attitude of not wanting to be friends with John, they seemed very restrained.

Of course, we all know that the game has just begun, and whether "restraint" can last until the end of the game is still unknown.

Raphael was actually very quiet watching the game, and he never took a sip of his bottle of beer from the beginning to the end.

Next to Messi is Andrea, and next to Andrea is John. Sitting between the two of them also made Messi and Andrea very awkward at first, but now Messi looked up at Rafa with his small face Er, "We're going to score, right?"

Raphael touched his little head, bowed his head and said softly: "Have the belief in victory, even if you can't survive the desperate situation, you still have to believe in yourself."

"Football is a team sport and you have 10 teammates on the pitch. But if they make you feel alone, that's when you need to step up, because it's your way of reminding them, 'I'm here'."

This is Raphael's own feeling.

He doesn't know what kind of Messi will become in the future, but he just uses the perspective of an elder, a senior, and an older brother to teach his Leo.

He will have his own football, his own future, and even his own opponents.

From this perspective, his Leo is very happy.

After England's first goal, Argentina quickly used the kick-off to fight back. In fact, the Argentine should definitely thank Ortega for his genius performance.

As a genius who can dance on postage stamps, Ortega simply treats the English as stakes!

When Tony Adams fell victim to his breakthrough, Ortega passed on Crespo.

But at the moment when everyone thought that Crespo was going to push the bow and shoot, Crespo chose to pass back, and successfully deceived the goalkeeper Seaman who made the English miss for more than 20 years in the future, and Ortega succeeded in pushing the empty goal !

If you want to describe this goal, in addition to Ortega's wonderful performance, this is also a typical Argentine goal-"One midfielder and two forwards, dribbling and rushing forward."

For the Argentines, this is the simplest football and the purest football.

In the room, apart from Rafael, Javier, who could no longer "restrain" himself, and their shouts were also very Argentine.

The three of them sprayed out almost a bunch of Spanish, all singing praises to Ortega.

John glanced at the excited Andrea and was very puzzled. Wasn't this kid's elder brother forced by Ortega to watch the drinking fountain on the bench?

After the Argentine equalized a goal, he began to hold high the banner of offense-this is the war between Britain and Afghanistan.

Argentina was in constant danger in front of the goal, but when the time came to 26 minutes, it was England who broke the goal.

It was a through ball from Scholes. After receiving the ball, Owen passed Almeida and Ayala, the best central defender in Argentina in 10 years. At the same time, he did not give the goalkeeper Roa a chance. The 19-year-old In this way, Irving scored a goal that shocked everyone!

This goal was not as good as the one that Rafael remembered, but this time, there were many background panels along the way.

After Irving scored a goal, he jumped up angrily and punched his fist to vent his excitement, and Ayala's sad expression on his face was also unforgettable for a long time.

The American commentator "cued" Raphael again, and Javier didn't even dare to look at his younger brother's expression. He directly grabbed the remote control and turned off the damn commentator!

Falling behind again means that Argentina must come up with a faster way to equalize the score-if they don't want to enter the second half with a lag.

Messi clutched his blue and white jersey, and Andrea looked more nervous.

At the critical moment, Simeone, who was wearing the captain's armband, stepped forward. In 38 minutes, Simeone, who advanced forward, sent a very subtle through ball at the top of the penalty area to find Crespo!

This time, Crespo did not carry forward his style again, but showed his true qualities as a shooter.

His cool!The bold and precise shot did not give Seaman any chance to play, and he helped Argentina equalize the score again!

Andrea has quietly embraced Messi, and Javier has been crazily cursing Passarella in Spanish, it's all this idiot!It is this idiot who tests their hearts, if...if...

He's stuck.

Raphael, who rested his chin on his hand, remained calm, as if he didn't hear what he was saying.John looked even more indifferent.

The first half was coming to an end, and just when everyone thought that the two sides would enter the second half with a draw, Simeone fell to the edge of the penalty area during stoppage time, covering his neck with one hand, looking extremely painful.

The referee took out a yellow card without hesitation and handed it to Scholes.

Scholes looked particularly annoyed as his club-mate, almost grown-up David Beckham, pulled him back and Argentina won a free-kick.

At this moment, even if there is no sound from the TV, Andrea and the others all echoed a voice in their hearts: If... if... that's fine...

Raphael watched Veron, Simeone and Crespo stand in front of the penalty spot.

The moment he saw this scene, he knew that the whole free kick was destined to be repeated again!Because it was designed in advance by Passarella's coaching team.

Argentina is not like Brazil, the active free kick master grabs it.Cough, of course, they have a top set-piece player in active service who has not been recruited...

In order to solve this problem, Passarella designed multiple free kick routines, such as this one at the moment!

The most exciting free kick in the history of this World Cup!

Veron took two steps back and started a false run, but the English were not fooled, because they saw Crespo shoot directly. In fact, Crespo's foot did touch the ball. Then reacted, and Zanetti, who was ambushing in the wall of the English, suddenly moved laterally at this moment, received the ball before all the English, and then directly scored!

All the English people did not expect that the Argentines could play such a routine!

They were played cruelly!

In fact, this has become another classic that has been revisited countless times in this Anglo-Arab war!

The referee directly blew the whistle for the end of stoppage time, and the Argentine entered the second half with a 1-goal lead!

The author has something to say: The three red cards in the 98 World Cup are the most famous.

Those who take the ruby ​​card are: Zidane, Beckham, Ortega.

Allow me to say: These three card masters were scolded by countless fans when they swiped their cards to get off work, because they are really stupid...

There are still some differences between them-Zidane's foul was in the group stage, which gave him a chance to "rescue" himself in this World Cup. In fact, he did save himself and also helped the team.France without Zidane is a mess!The other two were not so lucky.

And, I can see your comments!

Really can!

Don't take my fun away!
