Everyone was quite happy at first, but then someone poured cold water on the Italian and English fans.
What are you guys having fun with?
Do you really think that you can make it to the top four with Ivan's luck?
What? You Italians say that Ivan’s father is Italian, so he has Italian ancestry?
That's great. Would you like to know more about Shura Field?
2014 Brazil World Cup Group:
Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy.
England fans: “…”
Italian fans: “…”
Oh shit! Divide into two groups, one is a father and the other is a mother. Who should Xiao Tiantian's good luck be given to? !
There was a fight! Let’s get a divorce!
English fans and Italian fans were arguing wildly over the issue of "whose owner is Ivan".
Fans from other countries were eating spectacles, maybe because of language barriers? Want to know more about translation software?
[The annual quarrel: Candy is ours, you guys are my brother], the quarrel lasted until the start of the World Cup.
Irving did not publicly state that his father was Leo Bova, although Leo later spoke to him privately, with his wife.
Since they each have their own families, they should not interfere with each other too much. This is also for the sake of Leo's wife.
At the beginning of June, Irwin went to Brazil in advance. This time he did not go with the national team. Since he would participate in refereeing in this World Cup, he could no longer go with the team as a spiritual supporter as he did in the previous European Cup.
Luo Xiaoxiao also conducted intensive training with his national team teammates, so this year Alvin treated the trip to Brazil as a vacation.
No...it's not a vacation, it's a dad's trip.
He, Dolores and Zhou Wen went to Brazil together, and also brought along some younger ones, including little Chris, little Ivan, the little princess and her sister Zoe.
As for little Zoe's mother, she went on her honeymoon with her new husband.
Xiao Tiantian, who is still very young but has to play the role of a father and a brother at the same time, sighed softly.
As the only man present on this trip, and a very handsome one at that, Xiao Tiantian not only cleared the way for his own ladies, but also had to deal with the somewhat overwhelming enthusiasm of his fans.
Not to mention, Zoe, who insisted on being held by her brother when she saw him, pissed off the little princess.
"Woowawawa!" Is aunt something edible? Those who take Maria’s place are all bad people!
The little princess who had always been pampered by Ivan cried so hard that she became a star in the first-class cabin.
The crying child gets the milk!
While Alvin was apologetically explaining to the flight attendants, they didn't take the trouble seriously at all and were only too happy to help Alvin.
After being fed and given drinks, and coaxed by her handsome father and beautiful sister, Maria finally stopped crying.
She pouted her lips, sat in Ivan's arms on the other side, hugged Ivan's neck and wanted to kiss him, still not looking at Zoe.
#Dad, you love me the most, right?
#I'm not happy, I need a kiss from my dad to feel better~
Zoe was not afraid. She watched her niece cry the whole time and comfortably occupied Ivan's right arm without any burden.
#As a domineering little Zoe who has men chasing after her while she is still breastfeeding (?), she doesn’t feel burdened to act like a spoiled brat with her brother.
Little Alvin and little Chris were playing together. When they heard their little sister crying, they looked over here and turned back to play their own games.
Little Chris: Brother, we really don’t care?
Tuntun: Brother, you can’t interfere when women fight.
Zhou Wen and Dolores, who witnessed the whole process, said: "..."
I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel that these four children will be talented in the future.
The national team may have to adapt and train intensively when they arrive in Brazil, and the referees will also have to hold various meetings. After all, the referees come from all over the world, and there will always be different emphases on the details of law enforcement.
When Alvin finally had some free time, there were already a few days left before the competition.
It's a rare trip to Brazil, so of course I have to go out more.
However, as soon as Alvin went out, the problem arose again.
There are four little bullies in the family, but there are only three adults.
Alvin couldn't take care of four kids by himself, and the two girls were more attached to him, so it would be too much trouble for seven people to go out together. So Dolores and Zhou Wen simply took the two boys out, and Alvin took the two girls alone.
That's fair, right?
As a result, a scene that people couldn't help but stare at appeared on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.
A handsome guy wearing sunglasses was strolling leisurely with two angel-like girls in his arms.
The two girls seemed to have discovered some fun game and were vying to pass the candy to the handsome guy who was holding them.
Sweet~Eat candy~
Although I can't see his eyes, just looking at his other exposed facial features and his figure...
Ah, I'm dead!
……Mother! Such a handsome guy already has a daughter!
A few Brazilian players who came out to relax at the corner: "..."
The more David Luiz looked at the man, the more familiar he felt. He pulled Neymar aside and said, "Do you think that man looks like..."
Neymar glanced over there and widened his eyes: "Evan!?" The man who tricked him into going to the Premier League but didn't accept his jersey, and who turned around and went to La Liga as soon as he got there! QAQ
He didn't stop shouting and was heard by the people next to him.
It would be fine if he was any other Brazilian player, but the problem is that he is not. He is Neymar, known as "Little Pele" in Brazil. He is the hope of the people of the country in this World Cup.
After attracting the attention of people on this street, the consequences were somewhat serious.
Not only did he screw himself, he also screwed Alvin.
"Oh my god, is he really Ivan?"
"Oh my god, that's Neymar!"
"Neymar, give me an autograph!"
"I heard that wherever that referee goes, he gets rich. Is that true?"
"Son, come on! Go hug him. He will bring us good luck. Next year we will have a big house to live in!"
Aiwen, holding two children: "..."
He looked at Neymar from a distance, who knew he had gotten into trouble.
#After confirming through eye contact, we know we are the ones who want to run away together.
What are you standing there for? Run!
Neymar looked back while running, thinking that it would be inconvenient for Alvin to carry two children, and whether he should help hold one. As a result, he found that Alvin had caught up with him.
The two girls didn't feel any sense of crisis at all, they were still giggling.
"Here! Here!" Louis, who was running in front, turned around and waved.
When they finally got rid of the main group, several Brazilian players ran away.
But we are all Brazilians, so we don’t have to worry about not finding the way back.
As for Ivan, the guest who came from afar, it was not certain. Neymar felt quite guilty and suggested that they go back to the Brazilian team's base together, and then he would drive Ivan back.
Alvin put the two children down and said that he had a way to go back and there was no need to go through so much trouble.
He is a referee. If he is photographed appearing at the gate of the Brazilian national team's base, FIFA may remove him tomorrow under pressure from media opinions.
Zoe and Maria were not worried at all. They held Ivan's legs on both sides and looked around curiously. This was a scenery they had never seen before.
Neymar thought about it and it made sense, so he and his teammate David Luiz officially got to know Ivan.
Neymar is dressed quite uniquely at the moment. Looking at his flowing hair, Ivan is reminded of the hairspray maniac Luo Xiaoxiao.
Not to mention David Luiz, whose hair was so puffy that it looked like he was wearing a wig.
"Tiantian~Yaah~" The little princess pulled at Ivan's trouser leg.
Neymar and Luis noticed these two adorable little girls and asked, "Ivan, is this your daughter?"
"My daughter and my sister." Ivan picked them up.
The two Brazilians immediately looked envious.
After seeing the girl in Ivan’s family, they also wanted to have a daughter.
Zoe and Maria were also pointing in that direction. It was obvious that they were very interested in that place and wanted Alvin to take them there to play.
Neymar looked in the direction the two cute little fingers were pointing. He thought for a moment, then turned back and suggested to Ivan, "It's quite far from here, and it may not be convenient for you to go there now."
Ivan also looked over there, and the scene he saw touched him a little.
Over there is a slum, where people's houses are densely packed together. The density of the houses gives people an extremely depressing feeling visually, but in sharp contrast is the large piece of open space surrounded by the houses in the slum.
It was not an open space; to be precise, it was a simple football field.
There were many barefoot children on the field, having a great time kicking a football made of newspaper.
No matter how hard life is for the poor people in Brazil, they still have football dreams in their hearts. This situation shows one thing:
They can have nothing, their house can be leaky, they can not have new shoes, their whole family can be struggling to make ends meet, but they cannot live without football.
No matter how crowded your living space is, you should leave a large piece of open space for playing football.
This is probably why Brazil has become a football powerhouse.
This is probably why many talented Brazilian players come from the slums.
Football is in the blood of every Brazilian. Brazil is a microcosm of every country that loves to play football.
Neymar and Luis were also mesmerized by this scene. After a long while, Ivan heard Neymar say, "This stadium used to be simpler than it is now. Two branches were the goal. Later, each of us contributed some money from our salary to repair it. At least it looks like a football field now."
"I used to play football like this when I was a kid. Then on my 8th birthday, my father gave me a new football. I hugged it to sleep every night," Neymar accidentally said a little more, probably because Ivan thought it was reliable. "My hometown is not here, but it's not much different from here."
"Kids here generally have only two options: one is to become famous through playing football, and the other is to become a bad person."
"So you'd better not go there. It's quite chaotic there, and it's not safe with two children."
The two children had no idea what safety was. They were reluctant to leave, but seeing that the adults seemed unwilling to take them there, they pouted and didn't make a fuss.
Ivan smiled at Neymar and Luis, then turned around and kissed the aggrieved little princess. He knew that Maria had always loved football. She was the one who liked football the most among the children. No wonder she wanted to go over there when she saw the stadium.
"Do you want to watch daddy play football?" Alvin asked her after kissing her cheek.
"Ah?" The little princess was stunned.
Can sweet dad Alvin also play football?
Ivan then said to the two players, "I'm sorry, but are you in a hurry? If not, can you take us there?"
What?
Neymar and Luis were shocked.
They looked at each other to make sure they had heard correctly.
"Ahem, we're here to relax, but you want to play football? Over there?" Louis disagreed, "And you don't have a football."
This is easy. When Alvin and they ran over just now, he saw a sporting goods store.
Fifteen minutes later, Neymar and Luis stood on the edge of the crude football field, holding the hands of two little girls in a very inexperienced manner, petrified in the wind.
This time they realized that it was not that Ivan didn't know the way and asked them to lead the way. It was obvious that he just wanted to show off his skills and it was inconvenient to bring two children with him, so he asked them to help look after one child each.
They silently glanced at the big net of footballs over there.
Ivan just bought out the entire store's inventory, and when the boss saw the three of them, he was so excited that he almost gave it away for free.
But Alvin refused and gave the autograph without asking the other party to spend any money.
Then they looked at the little girl they were holding hands with...she was so cute!ヽ(*≧ω≦)
The two children babbled and were very excited to see their father/brother walking towards the group of children with the ball.
...Can such a young child understand ball?
But think about it, their parent is Ivan, they must have been influenced by this kind of education since childhood.
Those boys in shabby clothes had already noticed Ivan walking over. At first glance, this man was the rich man that their parents talked about. He didn't fit in with their environment.
A few older kids who looked like the leaders were not afraid at all. They had fierce looks on their faces and looked at each other. Are they here to challenge us?
Brothers, someone is here to challenge us, what do you think we should do?
Fuck him!
Neymar and Luis wrapped themselves up tightly. Brazilians may not know Ivan, but they will definitely recognize them.
Seeing this situation, they were afraid that Alvin couldn't hold on and wondered whether he should help.
But who can’t Xiao Tiantian handle?
Ivan pointed at the football over there and said in his not-so-fluent Portuguese: "I'm going to play a game with you guys. If you win, the ball over there is yours."
After spending a long time with Luo Xiaoxiao, he also learned a little Portuguese.
The boys' expressions changed when they heard this.
They looked at the brand new balls, and there seemed to be a green light of desire in their eyes.
They continued to stare at Ivan.
...Damn, this person is too arrogant. They are not those girls who can't walk when they see good-looking people!
"Are you alone? Don't you want help?" A very tall kid raised his chin and pointed at the two weirdos standing on the sidelines.
"Yeah, I'm alone." Alvin nodded, quite sincerely.
Since he was so persistent, no one said anything. Many children were full of fighting spirit and were eager to have a football of their own. They would do everything they could for the reward.
Ivan put down the ball he had taken and said, "Use my ball."
He stood up. "I carry the ball, starting from the center circle and ending at the goal. If I can score, I win. If you can stop me, the football is yours."
"It's a deal!"
The noise from their side attracted quite a lot of people, and the surrounding residents gathered together. They heard that a bored outsider came and wanted to challenge the group of kids on the court?
As more and more people gathered around, Neymar and his friends didn't notice that there was a person holding a camera behind the crowd.
Almost no one here watches TV and the news is relatively isolated. They couldn't recognize Ivan, but the reporter holding the camera was obviously different from them.
He was so excited, his sixth sense told him that the headlines were waiting for him!
When he was ready to shoot, he was stunned.
sky!
The Brazilian reporter knew that Ivan was a referee who had served as a player, and he had seen him play in the last World Cup, but this feeling was completely different from seeing him play in person!
The agility and freedom that comes to you are simply difficult to replicate perfectly even with a videotape!
Even though the person he was facing was not on the same level as him, he still took it very seriously!
The ball seemed to be stuck to his feet. A dozen half-grown kids tried everything they could but couldn't even touch his ball!
Some people wanted to tackle him, but he dodged them with a graceful dribble. Some people wanted to intercept him, but they were fooled by his effortless fake moves!
His dribbling moves are not fancy, not at all, but they are very practical and can fool those who want to steal the ball from him!
After dribbling past the last child, Alvin faced the kid who was acting as the goalkeeper. Considering that the opponent didn't even have a decent pair of gloves, he didn't shoot directly, but approached the goal directly with the ball, forcing the opponent to pounce on him to grab the ball.
However, no matter how hard the child tried, he could not reach the ball between the legs of the handsome man that seemed to come alive. He could only lie on the ground, turn his head, and watch Ivan facing the empty goal.
He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but unexpectedly the person he was looking at stopped, stepped on the ball, smiled at him, and kicked the ball to him.
The kick wasn't very powerful and the boy guarding the gate caught it easily.
He was holding the ball, completely dazed, and completely forgot to get up. The only thing in his mind was the man's smile.
Something inexplicable flowed into his heart, making him feel particularly warm.
The feeling the other person gave him at that moment was like the winter sun.
Until he came over and stretched out his hand to her.
He subconsciously asked, "What's your name?"
The man who had pulled him up blinked and said something that sounded strange to him in a language he was not familiar with.
Maybe his name?
"Where are you from?"
"England."
Alvin didn't know how to say his name in Portuguese, so he just spoke English.
The boys over there all ran over. Their attitude was completely different from before. It was obvious that their philosophy was very clear. They admired the strong.
They all asked, "Are you a player? Which country are you from?"
Ivan did not answer them immediately, but took them to the sidelines: "Look, as agreed, I'll give it to you when you get the ball."
The group of kids wanted the balls very much, but the leader held back: "No, you won, we can't have your balls."
Ivan laughed: "I didn't win, the ball was caught by your goalkeeper."
The crowd on the sidelines looked at him with eyes that seemed as if they wanted to poke a hole in him or eat him up.
Neymar and Luis looked at each other and felt that they couldn't let Alvin stay here any longer. Although they were also very excited and thought Alvin was awesome, they might not be able to leave soon.
They picked up the two little girls who were screaming with excitement and walked towards Ivan.
Over there, the goalkeeper who was holding on to the ball became nervous when he heard what Ivan said. Everyone could see clearly that the ball was clearly kicked back by the opponent.
But he really couldn't bear to part with the ball...
Ivan asked them: "Does an own goal count as a goal?"
Everyone nodded.
Ivan said: "So, even if I kicked the ball to you, it was still an effective block for you."
It’s not that Alvin hasn’t seen slums before. There are slums in London, and there are such places in every developed country. He didn't come here on purpose to give away the ball. There are so many poor people in the world, and he couldn't possibly offer kindness to all of them.
I just want to encourage kids who love to play football. Maybe a game with them wouldn't be too out of place.
The children all looked at the older child who was leading the group, their eyes filled with unspeakable eagerness.
The child hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You make sense. Thank you."
Ivan nodded and handed the footballs to the older boy: "You can distribute them. There are enough. You can keep the extra ones and replace them if they are broken. I believe you can do a good job."
Although the kid looked defiant, Alvin could still feel that he was not a completely bad kid, so he would not take all the balls for himself.
Someone in the crowd shouted, probably a parent of a child: "Why don't you say thank you now!"
The children bowed and said thank you loudly. Seeing that Ivan was about to leave, the goalkeeper shouted, "You still haven't told me, are you a player here to play in the World Cup?"
Ivan turned around and smiled, "No, I'm not a player."
He thought for a moment and tilted his head playfully: "I'm just a referee."
Neymar and David Luiz, the temporary babysitters who happened to come over with their children, said: "..."
This is a good show, they give it 99 points.
I'm afraid he'll be too proud.
