Chapter 101: World Cup in Progress



Two days before the match, England were training on penalties.

Joe Hart clapped his hands and stood happily in the penalty kick position.

He took off his gloves and looked at Ivan who was standing in front of the door, laughing.

#I am used as a background board every day, today I want to let Alvin be a background board for once!

He put his hands on his hips and waited for Rooney, who was acting as the referee, to blow the whistle.

Fat Lu pretended to be Ivan. He imitated Ivan's style as a referee, made a six sign next to his cheek as an earphone, had a serious face, and held his chest and stomach in, which made Lampard and others next to him laugh so hard.

Lu Xiaopang: "Please ask the linesmen to stand outside the sidelines, thank you, so as not to affect the normal progress of the penalty kick."

Terry and his teammates commented: "Do you think Wayne is like a referee?"

"I'm sorry, if Wayne were the referee, I would burst out laughing."

Lu Xiaopang: "You guys are disrespecting the referee, yellow card warning!"

"Hahahaha! Hurry up Wayne, Ivan is ready."

Irving put on his gloves and waved to Rooney.

Rooney suddenly felt the glory of being the God of the field. He picked up the whistle that the assistant coach brought over.

“Beep!”

Joe Hart couldn't wait any longer, he ran out and kicked the ball!

Ivan pounced!

Joe Hart's face fell, damn, the ball was saved by Ivan!

Rooney shook his head: "Your footwork is not good, Joe. You don't even do a fake move. You are too straightforward."

Ivan held the ball. Hart was very strong, but the angle was not sharp enough. He had scored many goals and was more familiar with the technique of shooting, so he judged the direction of Hart's ball.

Hart didn't believe it, so he kicked again, but Ivan still jumped out.

"Shit!" Rooney was ready to go on his own, thinking that Hart's skills were definitely not good enough.

He then made a particularly tricky kick, which Irwin missed, but he was in the right direction and made contact with the ball.

"Hey!" Lampard asked in surprise, "Aiwen, did you just pounce casually?"

Ivan: "Oh, I think Wayne should kick in that direction."

As a professional goalkeeper, Joe Hart has seen a lot of this. He commented on Irwin's technique: "Irwin, your gesture is wrong. It's easy for the ball to slip out of your hands when you save it like that."

Joe Hart was so engrossed in his professionalism that he completely forgot the shock of having two goals blocked just now.

The two men whispered there for a while, and Alvin continued to save the ball from several of his teammates, this time with much more professional techniques.

"Cool!" Alvin can save seven out of ten balls. He has a future!

Joe Hart’s inner thoughts: QAQ It turns out that the boss is awesome at everything he does.

Capello nodded on the sidelines and lowered his head to write something in a notebook. Ivan can still receive further systematic training, and he will become more adept at saving penalties.

July 3, Green Point Stadium, Cape Town.

Andy: "Dear viewers, welcome to watch the World Cup quarter-finals. Today's match is between Argentina and England. This is the last quarter-final. Three of the semi-final seats have been decided, namely Spain, the Netherlands and Germany. The final spot will be decided after this game."

Richard: "Today's match is definitely the focus - the England-Argentina match. Maradona's well-known Hand of God happened in the match between England and Argentina after the victory of the Falklands War led by the Queen of England. At that time, Maradona was the core on the court, and now he has become a coach off the court."

Andy is full of confidence: "In terms of coaching level, Maradona's coaching career is still short, while we have the champion coach Capello; in terms of player strength, they have Messi who has not scored a goal since the start of the World Cup, while we have Irving who is the top scorer."

"Yes, our lineup is also star-studded. I can't wait for our players to bring us good news," Richard said with a smile.

The camera then moved to the stands of the stadium. The two commentators were confused as they spoke: "Are the looks of our fans in the stands new? They are very... innovative."

Looking at the camera coming from around, the enthusiastic fans were waving their hands and smiling brightly, and on their heads... uh, why did it look like there was a pair of pants on top of them? !

There's a number 29 written on the pants!

No, it can’t be…

Commentators from all countries noticed this, and they read the information they had just received: "We have received the latest news. The hats that the fans are wearing are carefully designed. They are designed based on the style of the underwear that was exposed when our English sweetheart exchanged shorts with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo that day."

The fans were creative. They wrapped their heads with a cloth towel and cut two holes at the two corners of the top of their heads to make a pair of shorts... The pattern on the top was made in the style of the English flag, and the number of their favorite player was written on it.

A whole new collective outfit to cheer England on was ready.

Will the vuvuzela be used in the South Africa World Cup? It's all the same, so unoriginal!

Many female fans were more unrestrained. In weather of over 10 degrees, they wore sexy waist-hugging jerseys. The "pants" on their heads were made more realistic, and the number 29 was written... between the two holes (? ).

There was no England flag pattern on it, it was just blue - the same color as Alvin's underwear that day.

Seeing this color, commentators from other countries can draw inferences: "Is this the lucky color of England's No. 29 Alvin de Witt? He wore blue underwear during the game that day. Does it mean they will win? Oh! This reminds us of Germany's head coach Loew. He also has a blue lucky sweater that he wears every day..."

The message board was filled with disgust. Love never changes his blue sweater. Our little Sweetie is different from the guy who loves to pick his nose!

"Oh! Look who we see in the stands?" The camera came to the VIP stands, and the culprit who caused the fans to come to cheer for England in "shorts" today, Cristiano Ronaldo, was sitting there, talking to someone next to him.

"Huh? The Portuguese star sat with Ivan's family? They seemed to be chatting happily," the commentator said in amazement. "I heard that he and Ivan are good friends. It seems that he did not return home after the World Cup, but chose to stay and watch Ivan's game."

The Portuguese man in the stands was answering the questions asked by the two elders with a sincere face. Zhou Wen had a good impression of this energetic young man. He was Dou Dou's good friend, so she wanted Dou Dou to take him home and treat him well.

The old man has made plans. After the World Cup is over, he will invite Ivan's teammates to celebrate together. The wealthy Ms. DeWitt has generously served as the sponsor of all services for the England players returning home. No matter what the final result is, they will return in glory, and there must be a celebration ceremony when they get off the plane.

Luo Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile (?) that if the two ladies have any questions about the next game, they can ask him and he will explain it.

In the player tunnel at this time.

There was a wall between the England team and Argentina. There was harmony within the England team, with some cheering and some gossiping; but it was different for Argentina. They all stood there with stern faces, and coach Maradona was giving them kisses one by one.

Maradona was cheering for the players by kissing them.

After he had kissed them all, he shouted, "England was our defeated enemy before, and it will be our defeated enemy today!"

He was referring to the World Cup in the year of the Falklands War, the game in which he performed the "Hand of God" and dribbled past several players to score the second goal, conquering England and the world.

Argentina is also optimistic about them because they have two "kings of football" and Messi is Maradona's successor.

The players from both teams entered the field, and the camera was waiting for this moment. They were waiting for something excitedly, until the number 29 appeared.

After seeing the big screen in front of him clearly, Alvin was stunned for a moment.

On the big screen, which was facing the England stands, Irvin could clearly see the pants on the fans' heads.

Ivan: “…”

Message board laughs:

"Hahaha, did you see Ivan's expression? So cute! Hahaha!"

"What I'm waiting for is his reaction! Xiao Tiantian: Shocked to the point of blurring out.jpg"

"Sweetheart: Why are they wearing my underwear on my head! Bad people!"

"Hahahaha, Ivan, you acted like a hooligan first, so don't blame us fans, hahaha!"

Was there any live footage of me and Cris swapping shorts that day?

Forget it, Alvin's expression was stiff. There was no point in thinking about these things now.

Luo Xiaoxiao in the stands had already seen the fans' attire. He was just busy chatting with Ivan's family to win their favor, and now he had time to think about what that was -

Luo Xiaoxiao:! ! !

Oh shit! Who gave you permission to wear my boyfriend's underwear on your head! Who gave you the courage!

The players lined up on the field and began to sing the national anthem.

The camera scanned one by one, and there was a sharp contrast between the English players and the Argentine players. The English players sang the national anthem very hard, and their voices could be heard clearly through the live broadcast equipment.

In contrast, the Argentine players had very serious expressions and no one started singing.

The message board gave an explanation:

"I'm afraid he was stunned by Maradona's kiss."

"If the person being kissed was Xiao Tiantian, the effect would definitely be different."

"Why would Britney want to kiss an Argentine player? You're just dreaming!"

"Two goals for one kiss?! Don't even think about it, Argentina!"

"Let Mueller go, he's just a kid!"

"Muller is not a child. His goal tally has increased again and he is about to surpass Britney Spears."

After the national anthem, the captains of both teams began to take the oath.

The captain of Argentina is Mascherano and the captain of England is Gerrard. The content of the oath is roughly about fair play, competition first and friendship second.

Fans: When it comes to fair competition, no one can beat Britney Spears.

Then they heard that there was an additional sentence at the end of the oath, learning from Alvin DeWitt, the representative of fair competition.

Hearing the last sentence, Fatty Lu next to Ivan pouted. He bumped Ivan's shoulder and whispered, "Ivan, you're famous! You're so awesome!"

Ivan responded muffledly, his expression not changing. He turned his eyes slightly to the side, not wanting to face his fans for the first time.

In the stands in front of him, the group of fans wearing "pants" on their heads were trying to attract his attention in various ways. Normally, he was very fond of his fans, but today he really didn't want to look at them because their outfits were too eye-catching!
