Alvin and Luo Xiaoxiao slept very well that night. The next day they were busy with their own things, and Luo Xiaoxiao went to training. After coming back from running in the morning, Alvin spent some time with Mini Ronaldo before he realized that his phone was about to explode with messages again.
Luo Xiaoxiao went to the Bernabeu Stadium for training. After completing the basic training, they started to practice free kicks. However, he found something was wrong when he was kicking...
What are the teammates whispering about?
It wasn't until Di Maria kicked a strange ball that he understood.
Isn’t this the kindergarten version of Alvin’s Sleepy Ball?
As the free kick expert in the team, Luo Xiaoxiao became the object of everyone's consultation.
The message notifications on Ivan's phone went from messages to Twitter, and when he opened the Twitter personal interface, his phone almost crashed.
Boss Alvin’s out-of-print sleepy ball! Don’t let it go if you pass by!
The whole of England is learning it, and the whole of Europe is ready to take action!
But I can’t learn it. This kind of thing that can only be understood but not expressed in words is completely illusory without the personal guidance of a big boss!
So Alvin was tagged in the post and his personal homepage collapsed.
Joe Hart has been feeling a bit proud recently. He tweeted that watching videos is not as useful as Ivin's personal instruction. Both James and Green, two international players, praised him.
So he accidentally tricked Ivan. Lu Xiaopang saw his tweet and, relying on his close relationship with Ivan, he also tweeted, hoping that when Ivan officiated at Manchester United, he would stay for a while after the game and give him some pointers on his sleepy ball.
As Alvin said, sleepy balls can only be played in England! It would be a waste not to play in England!
My friend has taught this when he was in South Africa, but the time was too short and he basically taught the goalkeeper. If my friend is willing to teach him as well, wouldn’t it be great?
When Ivan saw Rooney say this, he had another idea. It would be bad for the post-match teaching, but it would be okay if he still played in the game.
Isn't Angle going to advertise? Maybe holding an exhibition match and letting Angle be the exclusive sponsor would have a good effect?
The Portuguese player's words yesterday reminded him that referees have a thankless job. They are troubled by players and coaches on the field and blamed by fans off the field. Of course, it does not mean that there are no problems with referees, but most of the time referees also need the support of fans.
When you are working in a certain industry, if there are always people who are prejudiced against you, or if there is more understanding and respect towards you, which one will make you do your job more wholeheartedly?
The answer is very obvious.
If a referee is always scolded by the fans of a certain team, it would be strange if he didn't feel uncomfortable refereeing the games of that team.
If we were to hold this exhibition match, it wouldn't just be an advertisement, but it might also be able to express something different.
He sent a tweet.
Your sweetie:
@Wayne Rooney, I want to hold a commercial exhibition around Christmas and invite you to participate. I would also like to teach you how to play the sleepy ball. What do you think?
Rooney responded quickly:
Wayne Rooney:
(RT @Wayne Rooney I'd like to host one around Christmas time...) @yoursweetheart I have no problem with that! As long as there is no game that day! What exhibition match? Do you want to play football too?
fan:? ? ?
Oh shit, what’s going on? !
They hadn't reacted to Ivan's tweet yet, until Rooney's message reminded them. Awww, they still have a chance to see Britney play football, right?
Fans are crazily forwarding, liking and commenting, and the event must be held! Does Xiao Tiantian have enough money? Not enough sponsorship from our England fans!
Wait, Xiao Tiantian should be rich, he is the son of the CEO!
Oh oh oh, then can we, the fans, legally raise funds for sponsorship? Let the stars of our club participate as well! Pay the appearance fee to our star player!
#Son, this is all the belongings of mom and dad, you must make friends with Ivan and learn how to play the sleepy ball from him!
#儿杀·The star player:? ? ?
Fans of other European leagues are getting restless. Many of them follow Ivan. Even if they don't have many fans for him, seeing this trend on Twitter, who doesn't know that if the competition is held, the stars who participate will definitely boost the popularity of their clubs?
And learn the Sleepy Ball from Alvin! Hitting the target every time with a hundred kicks, how awesome!
Even if you don't think too much about it, it would be so cool and prestigious to play in an All-Star Game!
Alvin saw that the response was good, so he continued to improve the plan. In the afternoon he called his stepfather Walter and told him his idea.
Walter, who works at UEFA, was confused. Where did Alvin get so many novel ideas? !
"You said you want to invite a few Premier League referees and players to participate in a commercial exhibition match?! What do you want them to do? Enforce the law?"
Irwin: "No, they are not the ones who enforce the law. Let them participate in other roles in the game. Let the players take on the four referee positions."
Walter: “…”
#You let the referees play football? !
#I'm so thankful for the bargain!
#No no no, this thing is too precious and not cheap at all!
“How many referees do you plan to invite?”
Irwin: "Not many. There are only four positions in a referee team. I plan to let the fans vote and then invite the top four Premier League referees."
Walter: “…”
Ivan thought for a moment and added, "The appearance fee is easy to negotiate."
Walter: “…” What’s with this strong sense of nouveau riche?
He rubbed his forehead with a headache: "Let me think about it."
Irwin: "I thought about it and it should be feasible. This can also help ease some unnecessary conflicts between players and referees."
Walter: "You have a good idea. Which stadium do you plan to use? What is the budget? Does your mother know?"
Ivan: "I'll have someone compile the specific budget and send it to you later. As for mom, I'll tell her later and let her talk to you?"
Walter: “…”
Walter quickly said: "No need to tell your mother, just send me the specific plan, I believe you." QAQ It's not easy to be a stepfather these days!
He was very efficient and gave a feasible answer immediately, but he couldn't help with things like asking for a referee, so Alvin had to figure it out on his own.
Irving got a reply and followed it up with another one on Twitter.
Your sweetie:
I plan to hold a commercial exhibition match and the sponsor is Angle. It was probably around Christmas time. The location is England, and the specific stadium is yet to be determined. A total of 30 people participated in this game. There are 11 people in each team, 2 head coaches, 4 referees and 2 commentators.
Four Premier League referees will be invited to this game. For the sake of fairness, fans will vote, and Angel will invite the top four referees with the most votes. If the judges are unable to attend due to their own reasons, invitations will be sent out to the next round according to the voting ranking.
Players who want to participate, please register with me. If the number of registered players exceeds 26, it will be decided by fans' voting. There is no limit on the number of places, and friends from all major leagues are welcome to participate. The winning team will receive an exclusive Christmas-designed prize provided by Angle, as well as various MVP prizes. The losing team receives a consolation prize.
The jerseys of the participating players will be provided by Angers and will be printed with the logo of the club to which the players belong.
The head coaches of the two teams will be invited Premier League referees, and the other two referees will be involved in the two teams. The four referees on the field, namely one referee, two linesmen and one fourth official, will be held by other people.
The specific list will be announced at that time, and finally everyone will vote for the members of the two teams.
When player friends come to me to sign up, they can bring a corresponding one-sentence self-introduction, such as the position they are good at, etc., to make it easier for fans to screen the team's roster.

Luo Xiaoxiao learned about the exhibition match when she returned home from training.
He felt that... since being with Alvin, his life had never lacked excitement!
In the evening, he took a look at part of the list compiled by Ivan: Rooney, Terry, Cech, Joe Hart, Torres, Ramos, Casillas, Muller, Neuer, Ibrahimovic, Messi...
He immediately pounced on Ivan and demanded that his name be added!
By the way, whisper in someone’s ear and get some inside information in advance!
Then he looked at the list of registered players and said, "There are too many goalkeepers..."
Ivan laughed: "There is basically no such thing as playing in your own position. This game is more about fun, and there are more cross-dressing roles."
Luo Xiaoxiao wrinkled his nose. That's right, the referee has become a head coach, and some of them are football players!
He suddenly thought of something. Players can also be referees!
Oh shit! Fun!
During the voting period, Irwin's first Premier League refereeing match finally arrived.
He accidentally took two more months of vacation. Being a referee means you have a relatively leisurely life, and you may not officiate a match in a month.
Ivan no longer lives in England. Even if he does, enforcing the law is like going on a business trip, which requires traveling far away. So he might as well just live in Madrid.
Kaka came back in the third week of the season and found that there were not only the visiting Ivan and the Portuguese mother at home, but also a baby.
It just so happened that he found a suitable house and moved out after staying there for a few days. So the Brazilians didn't think too much and didn't notice anything wrong.
In November, Arsenal faced Tottenham Hotspur at home.
This was the first meeting between Alvin and his partners.
It's a young team. The fourth official is a blond and blue-eyed young man named Auston Hawke, and the two linesmen are one male and one female, named Ryan Smith and Sean Massey respectively.
Sean Massey is probably the first female referee in the Premier League. She is only 23 years old this year, with a ponytail and a plain face, and she looks full of youthful vitality.
Of course, Ivan is the youngest referee, he is not yet 22 years old.
Seeing Ivan, Sean couldn't hide his excitement, and neither did the other two referees. Ivan felt that he was not a referee meeting his own team, but a star meeting his fans.
In fact, he had prepared other small gifts, but the first gift he gave to the three referees was his autograph.
"Have you guys started the activity?" Ivan smiled friendly, without any celebrity airs. "It's cold today, and the weather forecast says it might snow."
The staff at the Emirates Stadium have already cleared the snow in advance, but it is hard to say whether it will snow again in a while.
The three referees looked a little nervous.
"This is probably your first time in the Premier League. Coincidentally, it's mine too." Alvin took out his little notebook.
Everyone was amused by him, and he continued: "There is nothing special to note in this game. Just do your job well. I believe that everyone is a very good person. If you have any questions, you can ask me in the headset... Finally, relax, guys, it's our turn to play."
