The atmosphere reached its peak again after Ivan signaled that the ball had gone in.
The German players ran to Ivan, and Ivan explained:
"According to the latest FIFA rules, in a penalty shootout, whether a penalty is scored is determined only by whether the entire body of the player crosses the goal line before the ball stops. A follow-up shot does not count. When the ball went into the goal later, it was not due to interference from the attacking player."
Giacarini did not make a follow-up shot, the ball just rolled in by itself, even though the process was a bit tortuous, but it still went in.
Okay.
The referee let you score, so how dare you say anything more?
It seemed to be true. The German players went back and waited nervously for their teammates who had never taken a penalty kick to take the kick.
The next player to play for Germany is Hummels. The defense is still strong. Compared with the players in the frontcourt, at least they all scored goals.
Hummels also scored this goal.
The thrilling game continues, round after round.
The two sides are equally strong, and the only difference is who makes a mistake first.
In the first eight rounds, both sides scored without any danger.
Comparing the first five rounds with the last three rounds which were obviously much smoother, it also confirmed Ivan's point of view on penalties.
What matters in a penalty kick is speed, force and accuracy. There is no need to overly focus on angles, otherwise the penalty may go off the target.
At this time, anyone who hesitates may be caught by the goalkeeper and lose the opportunity.
After three rounds, both sides were fast, fierce and accurate, until the ninth round, when Italy's Damian hesitated before kicking, and Neuer saw through it and blocked it.
There are no follow-up shots in penalty shootouts, so if the ball stops and doesn't go in, it doesn't count.
Buffon: “…”
No fuck said.
Neuer looked back when he left. Who took the penalty this time? It's match point. If you cheat your new dad again, don't blame him for being rude!
The penalty kick for Germany was taken by Hector, the same name as the hero in Homer's epic poem!
He is a central defender for Germany and also one of the most stable defenders in the country!
Facts have proved that the left-backs are still stable, none of them missed the penalty. I guess Löw has it in mind that from now on, all penalties will be given to the defenders, and the forwards will act as football babes in the back, waving handkerchiefs and shouting to cheer.
Hector scored the penalty!
Germany finally won and advanced successfully!
Boateng, who covered his face and turned his back, dared not look, but as soon as he heard the cheers from the audience, he knew it was true. He quickly jumped up and chased after his teammates who were running happily to celebrate!
Muller and Ozil ran faster than anyone else. The little pigs that were crying just now stopped crying and rushed towards their new father who opened his arms to them!
#小新e to Daddy!
#二娃: Dad, let me tell you, it really works if you get some good luck from Ivan two years in advance!
The Italian players could only stand there in silence. There were too many people to take the blame and they were all responsible.
Buffon was fine. He calmly hugged everyone, including his coaching staff, German players, and the referee Britney Spears.
Italian fans are crying, it’s too late to hug the goalkeeper, you should have hugged him before the penalty kick QAQ.
However, Buffon is not that kind of person, and neither is Britney Spears. They value strength to win.
German players broke the curse of losing to Italy every time they met. The butterfly finally flew across the ocean, but Buffon's European Cup journey also drifted away from him.
Buffon walked and talked with Ivan for a few words. He turned to the stands of Italian fans and waved to them. In the eyes of others, it probably also meant a farewell.
Alvin thought about it and stood there without leaving.
Italian fans felt a little better when they saw Ivan and Buffon in the same frame.
The hero may be old, but his ambition remains strong.
The 38-year-old Buffon stood there, looking with deep affection, and all he saw was the shadow of his 28-year-old self.
The 27-year-old Ivan was standing next to him, looking at him calmly, his eyes full of his sky blue panties.
Ivan: “…”
Only English fans are keen on waving their pants, why have Italian fans also learned it?
It's been 6 years, aren't you tired of it? ! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Buffon was quite sad at first, but when he saw the blue panties everywhere and the somewhat stiff and unnatural expression of the young man next to him, he was suddenly amused.
They hugged each other again, and the scene was so heartwarming.
The commentator was guessing what they said: "I wonder if Buffon will feel sorry that Ivan is not an Italian citizen."
The message board thought it made a lot of sense. Buffon and Irving are both people who have only won the World Cup but not the European Cup. If they could join forces, the European Cup title would be easy to win!
Buffon's penalty-saving skills are perfect, but his reaction is a little slow. Italian fans have imagined that if the two of them played together, Candy Clyde would fight in the frontcourt and Buffon would defend in the backcourt. When it comes to the penalty shootout, Candy Clyde can save the penalty. It's a perfect division of labor, and Buffon can take a break...
Wait...what's going on with this weird feeling that you are in the opposite restricted area and responsible for making money to support your family, while I am in my own restricted area and responsible for being beautiful?
After Buffon asked Ivan for his jersey, he asked him, "Will I have a chance to play with you before I retire?"
He wasn't referring to Ivan playing football as a player or something like that, he was referring to exhibition matches, commercial matches and the like.
Unexpectedly, Ivan was not polite to him: "Competing together? I'd better not. I'm worried that they will say I don't respect the elderly."
Buffon: “…”
#ITM…
The lip-reading expert finally had material. Previously, the mouth shapes of Ivan and Buffon were blocked when they were talking, but this time their mouth shapes could be seen, and it turned out that they started talking dirty to each other!
After learning what they said, most football fans around the world were stunned.
Xiao, Xiao Tiantian, did he just say something harsh to Buffon? !
Oh shit! Stimulate! interesting!
This kind of talk is too pretentious! ?
But... they like it!
Portugal managed to draw all the way and advanced to the next round. To be honest, the fact that they advanced to the final was beyond everyone's expectations.
No one expected that the team that survived to the end was Portugal, which no one considered a seeded team.
The two teams gathering at the Stade de France are Portugal and host France.
The French team is the absolute favorite to win the championship this year. After being eliminated from the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa, French football has experienced a period of silence. They are constantly changing the team's roster, striving for a rise in the near future.
The current French team has undoubtedly been injected with a batch of fresh blood, and the members of this team are generally young. But in the words of the fans, if it weren't for the handsome young man Griezmann in the team, they would have thought this was an African team that had infiltrated the European Cup.
The French are clearly eager to win the European Cup on their home turf.
The Portuguese, who fought wholeheartedly for their country, were naturally unwilling to give up the championship.
In response to this, after the French eliminated Germany and advanced to the finals, they directly sang a Viking war cry at the post-match venue.
The Viking war cry was invented by the Icelanders to rally the hearts of a country's citizens. Facts have proved that the sound of the war cry can indeed make people's blood boil and is the best choice to boost morale.
When Luo Xiaoxiao learned that the French team had launched a Viking War Cry, he mentioned this to Ivan while chatting, and said that they in Portugal also found it novel and wanted to give it a try.
Ivan said that it is the custom of the Nordic people. Why should we learn from them? They use it to encourage themselves. Doesn't every country have its own culture of encouragement?
Luo Xiaoxiao thought about it and it made sense. The Portuguese people were united and had no shortage of forms.
Upon learning that their country had reached the European Cup final, countless Portuguese people sold their belongings and flew to France at the risk of being fired. Even if they didn't have tickets to the final, they still waited outside the stadium and stood with their team.
Luo Xiaoxiao didn't know yet how smart he was for listening to Catnip's words obediently. In this European Cup, except for Iceland itself, any country that uses the Viking war cry before the game will definitely go home in the next game.
As they were chatting, Luo Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something: "Ivan, is refereeing the European Cup final a condition for you to upgrade those magical things?"
After being reminded of this, Alvin realized that it was indeed possible.
He asked the system, but the system was still the same. If he said one more word, the alien would die.
We will know whether it is true or not on the day of the competition.
When he stepped onto the finals venue that day, Alvin heard the long-lost prompt sound of the system.
【bite! Congratulations to the host for achieving the following achievements: enforcing the international competition finals, unlocking the third generation of VAR related functions, and being able to synthesize advanced repair potions. 】
[Do you want to synthesize advanced repair potion?] Tips: The synthesis of advanced repair potions requires the consumption of all the host's current potions, including primary repair potions and advanced repair potions. 】
Alvin was warming up, and Luo Xiaoxiao in the distance was still greeting him with a smile. Alvin smiled slightly. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the system's usual mechanical sound was filled with excitement in the calm.
He remembered that the system had said that once the advanced potion was synthesized and he successfully used it, the system would be separated from him. From then on, the two of them, no, one person and one system, would go their separate ways, to the ends of the earth, never to meet each other again.
Although I don't know what the system's original purpose was in choosing him, looking at the current situation, it's just that they both get what they need and they are just partners.
Xiao Tiantian always felt that she had to say something.
[Are you so anxious to break up with me? System, after all, we have been together day and night for eight years. ]
【……】
[Before you leave, would you consider leaving me a gift or something? ]
【……】
[Actually, I really don’t want to let you go. It’s a long time for most people to keep a cat. The British shorthair in my house, you know, Ricky, is about to leave us too. ]
【……】
[Having said that, the days without playing football are pretty good too. We won the World Cup, so I have no regrets. I am old now and don’t have the fighting spirit that I had when I was young. Now I just want to be with my love and children, enjoy a happy retirement life, and spend a beautiful and peaceful old age. ]
【……】
The system finally couldn't hold back:
[Host, please face your age. You are only 27 years old this year. 】
Ivan just laughed when Luo Xiaoxiao passed by him. He didn't know why his catnip suddenly laughed so happily.
Well, that smile is too foul! The Portuguese muttered that he had just seen it and almost fell down.
[So, system, how about you leave me a parting gift? It doesn’t matter if I don’t play football now, so whether or not to use advanced repair potions doesn’t seem to be that important to me now. ]
If it were a normal system, it might play dead and would not be easily coaxed by Alvin, but today this might involve its own interests. Even though it was still that mechanical voice, which was neither fast nor slow, Alvin could feel that it was anxious.
You can tell from the fact that it suddenly becomes more numerous.
The system began to explain to him the functions and benefits of the advanced repair potion.
[Advanced repair potion is different from primary and advanced potions. It is fundamentally different from intermediate potions. It is difficult to obtain. Ordinary creatures cannot achieve the conditions for synthesizing it in their entire lives. Therefore, its effect must be extremely great. 】
[It can not only repair all the hidden dangers and potential hidden dangers of the host's current body, allowing your body functions to return to the peak period, but also forge meridians and strengthen the body. Its effect is not short-term. In the next ten years, or even in the next lifetime, the host's body functions will be countless times stronger than those of ordinary people. It will be harder for you to get injured again, and your body’s ability to repair itself will be faster. 】
[The most important thing is, host, it’s totally fine for you to go back to play football. You can play until you are 40 years old and win all the championships you have never won. 】
Ivan remained unmoved, he was super calm:
[Well, that sounds good. ]
system:【……】
So? !
What a fascinating hook!
Let you transform from a winner in life to a super winner in life!
Don’t you want to understand?
System: I want to go crazy but I have to maintain my personality.jpg
Xiao Tiantian didn't smile this time, but his dimples were revealed, which was captured by the camera that had just started the live broadcast. Female fans all over the world felt like they were shot in the heart again.
It's so damn fascinating! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Sweetie, please don’t commit fouls at every turn! The game hasn’t started yet!
The fans at the scene had an impulse. They wanted to rush into the stadium, hold down the sweet boy who flirted with women every day without knowing it, take his little card out of his pocket, and give it to him!
You are teasing and committing a foul! Red card warning.jpg
#小甜甜: Lift up my non-existent devil's tail.jpg
President Xiao Tiantian is no longer the simple Xiao Tiantian of the past. Xiao Tiantian is always good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
Only Luo Xiaoxiao, who always lives like a three-year-old, always feels that Ivan needs his care, and he always nags him not to help others recklessly.
[The reason why something is pursued by countless people is because those who pursue it need it. And when such demand does not exist, or when it is dispensable, it does not seem so important whether or not to get it. ]
【……】
Xiao Tiantian sighed faintly:
[System, I am more interested in you than the advanced repair potion. I don’t want to say goodbye to you forever just to get a potion. ]
【……】
[Host, please respect yourself. You have a wife and children. 】
[Yes, everyone knows the term wife and children. ]
【……】
#System:Host-style expressionless.jpg
What do you want? 】
The system sound is hard:
[Host, please do not make excessive requests. 】
Ivan blinked:
[Cris has been having some minor problems with his knees off and on, and your primary medicine can't cure it. ]
【……】
We are all adults, who doesn’t know who?
[The system can open an additional permission to the host. Dilute the synthesized advanced repair potion into two bottles so that two people can use it. 】
[The effect after dilution will be much worse than the original bottle. The specific effect depends on personal circumstances. 】
[The other diluted bottle has a cooling time. The host can choose to use the first bottle at any time, and the other bottle can only be used on others two years later. 】
Two years from now, the World Cup final?
Alvin knew that this was the biggest concession the system had ever made. At least before this little plug-in of the system left, he could get something good for Luo Xiaoxiao.
The two sides reached a consensus on the matter, and the competition was about to begin.
When the Portuguese captain led his players to line up in the player tunnel, the referee team was also ready.
Luo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but move her legs, and her eyes drifted away.
Ivan was standing next to him!
He must try his best today to win the championship!
Let's witness the moment when he wins the European Cup with Alvin!
He moved his calf again, and this small movement was seen by Alvin.
Ivan asked him, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Luo Xiaoxiao shook her head violently.
Looking at the excited Portuguese, Alvin stopped talking.
Luo Xiaoxiao tried hard to ignore the vague discomfort in his right knee. When he was warming up and passing by Ivan, he accidentally stumbled and his knee seemed to be uncomfortable.
There was a little problem there a few months ago, but it's now fine. I didn't expect it to hurt again today.
It was probably due to the physical fatigue caused by the intensive national team competitions for a month.
There will be a trophy carrying ceremony on the field. The European Cup final will be held in the beautiful town of Saint-Denis in Paris, France.
The one who entered the stadium holding the trophy was the winner of the previous European Cup, Spanish captain Xavi. The similar handover ceremony reminded the fans of the World Cup final two years ago, when it was Alvin who entered the stadium holding the Hercules Cup.
Today, Xiao Tiantian is still here~
Today he is not the one who gets the trophy, today he is the one who participates in the competition!
He is the referee of this game, from England, the youngest golden whistle in the world!
He is only 27 years old. At this age when many referees have just started their careers, he is already close to the peak of his refereeing career!
From players to referees.
From one peak to another.
At such a young age, he has reached heights time and again that most people cannot reach.
There is no doubt that two years from now, he will become the first man in football history to both win the World Cup trophy and officiate the World Cup final.
He is Alvin DeWitt, a man who makes the whole world crazy about him.
The author has something to say: Gerrard: I, the captain of Liverpool, a man without a Premier League championship.
Buffon: I am the Italian goalkeeper, a man without a European Cup title.
Messi: I, the captain of Argentina, a man without a World Cup title.
Ibrahimovic: Zlatan, God, a man without a Champions League title.
Ribery: I, the Bayern boss, a man without the Ballon d'Or.
Dutch Three-Sticker: I, the uncrowned king, a man who has neither the European Cup nor the World Cup championship.
Xiao Tiantian (innocently): I am a small referee, a man who owns the Ballon d'Or, the Golden Globe Award, the Oscar, the title of Duke, the ownership of Angel, the league championship, the FA Cup championship, all Premier League cup championships, the Champions League runner-up, the World Cup champion...
Everyone: “…”
Luo Xiaoxiao (blushing): I, Doudou’s cat, a man with a sweet girl.
Everyone: “…”
Enough! If you lick a cat to the end, you will have nothing! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Xiao Tiantian (smiles sweetly): No, you are still a man who will have everything in the end.
Everyone: “…”
...Sorry, licking a cat to the end is everything.
By the way, let me tell you something. After discussing and considering with the editor, I changed the pre-collection of Next Door to no CP, but the outline will not change. Ozil’s role will not be reduced, but the two of them will not be written together.
Originally, I was planning to write about the main career storyline and not too many emotional lines, so this change will not be too different from the original.
Still in the same style as Gugugu, the next book will contain basically all the handsome football players you want to see.
