There are many different opinions on the message board. After all, this is a live broadcast from England, and neutral fans make up the majority. There were also a small number of Liverpool fans who did not have tickets to the match and protested.
Neutral fans are fearless:
"Ask Alvin. Alvin must have the answer."
“I don’t know why I trust him so much, but I think he is very reliable.”
"Me too."
"Tonny is also very smart. Look at this little move. She even avoided the sight of the two referees. It's perfect."
"Hahaha, Tonyo, don't be too happy yet. The referee hasn't made a decision yet."
Looking at the impatient referee who was surrounded in the middle, Alvin knew that he probably wouldn't come to ask for his opinion. The referee didn't trust him.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to raise his hand.
He didn't know whether his actions would lead to irreversible consequences, but he saw the facts and felt that he should do something.
Walter turned on the TV early when he learned that Ivan was going to appear on stage. The two ladies in Ivan's family also turned on the TV at the same time.
Ivan signaled to the referee and the camera gave him a close-up.
His expression remained the same, without any change. His lips were tightly pursed and his eyes were a little cold.
Zhou Wen, who was sitting next to her daughter, felt a pang in her heart. She has watched the children grow up with her own eyes, she knows them so well! Her grandson usually looks caring and sensible, and always faces them with a smile, but she knows, she knows!
It seems that Ivan has a completely different personality from his daughter, and he doesn't even seem like a child of the DeWitt family. He doesn't seem to have the indifference that is inherent in the DeWitt family!
Even she was almost fooled, until a few years ago, when Alvin was still a child, still in Chelsea's youth training, and still a young boy who was better than his peers.
It was raining that day. Zhou Wen, who always supported children playing football, went to the youth team early. She was going to take Ivan home personally. She brought a lot of snacks that Alvin liked, fearing that he would be hungry, so she prepared some for him to fill his stomach on the road.
She went there excitedly and saw that little Alvin seemed to have a conflict with his teammates and the coach was trying to resolve the dispute. She should have gone up immediately, but she wanted to see how the child she had taught so carefully would handle the matter when there were no adults around.
The coach is here, so nothing should happen.
Alvin was not a child who would tolerate being bullied, and that was not part of what she taught him.
As she expected, Alvin handled the situation well and explained what happened to the coach in a clear and organized manner.
The problem seems to be solved. The children who had gathered to watch the fun all dispersed and went home. The coach stayed with them, gave them a few words of advice, and then left after seeing that the two children admitted their mistakes with a good attitude.
Zhou Wen then walked over and prepared to give Alvin a surprise.
What happened next made her wonder whether she should regret not showing up the first time.
There happened to be a tree in the direction she was walking, which prevented the two children from noticing her at first. And this also made her hear words that made her feel extremely angry, self-blaming and distressed.
Children’s words are truly the most hurtful, especially when they are gloating over their own ignorant slander.
She heard that the child who had a conflict with Alvin changed his expression after the adults left, and he did not realize his mistake.
He said to her grandson maliciously and with some jealousy: "Why are you pretending? You only act cute in front of the coach, but I've seen you with a paralyzed face more than once when you were playing football by yourself! No wonder you're a bastard monster!"
"You are just a wild child without parents. No matter how good you are at playing football, what are you so proud of? And you are complaining? Do you think I am afraid of you? You are not English at all. You are just a bastard with English blood!"
Zhou Wen stepped forward quickly. She couldn't stand it anymore. She had to teach this bad-mouthed child and his parents a lesson!
What she saw next was the child, who was a head taller than Ivan, falling heavily to the ground. He screamed loudly. Although he was a big guy, he was unable to fight back.
The fists hit his head and face so hard that he could hardly even shout.
When the security personnel arrived, they just stood there in a daze, just like Zhou Wen who was stunned.
——How could this be the expression on a child’s face!
At that time, the child who attacked the child, with a cold expression, stepped on the face of the child who was beaten by him and could only groan. His eyes were like those of an emotionless machine, revealing an inorganic, desperate ferocity.
Only Zhou Wen caught a flash of helplessness in his eyes. When he saw the adults coming, he restrained his somewhat scary expression in the next second.
He is like a wounded young animal. He refuses to show his true self in front of others and only licks his wounds when no one is around.
He is cold-hearted and only cares about those who care about him. As for those who are classified as outsiders and step on his bottom line, he is ruthless.
The leading security guard took a breath. He was quite familiar with Alvin, who went in and out of the youth team's stadium every day, always with a warm and sweet smile on his face.
Did he see it wrong today, or has he always seen it wrong?
The TV screen progressed to Ivan communicating with the referee.
Zhou Wen suddenly came back to her senses and returned to reality from the unpleasant memories.
She thought Alvin was very happy. He never expressed his sadness and only told them happy things. This made him look positive and sunny, making her feel particularly reassured about her child's growth.
She was thankful for that for a while.
However, a childhood without parental care is ultimately flawed. It unknowingly cultivates a child's lonely and indifferent heart, but it also teaches him to be sensitive and allows him to understand many things at a young age.
He could see that his grandmother treated him with great care; she was afraid that he would mind his lack of parental love. He knows that his elders love him, and he is grateful to everyone who is kind to him, but he doesn't know how to respond, so he can only express himself in the way that the other person would most like to see.
——I guess no one would dislike a child who loves to laugh, right?
After all, Zhou Wen is a generation older than him, so it is difficult for her to put herself in a more motherly position to take care of him. The child's mother, Gray, is already an adult. She has been alone since childhood and is someone Zhou Wen doesn't need to worry about.
A grandmother doesn't have much experience, and a mother is too busy with her career to take care of her children. When Ivan was about to become an adult, his hands-off mother realized her mistake and began to make amends to her child in an awkward way.
Zhou Wen suddenly realized that her grandson's mental condition was actually unhealthy. The psychologist said that this might be the reason why he was overly focused on one thing - such as playing football.
What happened that day became a big deal, so Alvin never went to the stadium again, and someone else took care of the follow-up matters. Zhou Wen didn't care anymore. What she was most concerned about was the child's psychological problems that had been neglected!
Perhaps it was necessary for this incident to happen, which allowed her to discover the problem in time. She still had time to correct and make up for the mistakes that had not yet reached an irreversible point.
Over the years, his condition improved a lot. Ivan did not resist various treatments. On the contrary, he actively cooperated with the doctor and never missed football practice during the psychological counseling. Coincidentally, there was no shortage of football atmosphere in England, and the DeWitt family had the financial resources to support his progress.
He really loves this sport.
Walter looked at Ivan's initiative to explain the situation to the referee, and he didn't know whether to feel relieved or sigh.
He was able to see the controversy of this goal only after watching the replay. How could this kid, Alvin, be so sure?
He doesn't have to take the lead at all! Once his opinion affects the referee's judgment, and if it is clarified after the game that the goal is actually valid, he will most likely be blacklisted by the Football Association because of this misjudgment!
Wouldn't it be better to just get your resume done? You are just a rookie referee!
Once you have established your foothold, others will no longer use the rules to restrict you, but will change and update the rules based on you!
FIFA seems to be easy to talk to. They seem to ignore all complaints against the referee. Instead, in the eyes of the outside world, they will protect the referee. In fact, after the internal vote of the referee committee, as long as more than half of the people reject the referee, the latter will be completely blacklisted.
To put it bluntly, the apparent defense of referees who made mistakes is just to maintain their appearance. If they always take the initiative to admit that the referee is wrong, isn't that a disguised admission that they are not good at training and supervision?
Fortunately, Alvin's judgment was accurate enough and he was very confident.
Perhaps in the end, this episode will become the reason for him to be appreciated and promoted.
"You said there was something wrong with that goal? Did you see it clearly? Are you sure?" The referee asked three questions in a row.
Ivan nodded affirmatively.
The referee looked at him deeply and said, "Okay. I hope you are right."
Then, the whole Anfield stadium was angry!
What are you doing? Such a beautiful goal was just blown off? Who did this? What? Is it that officious linesman? !
oh! It’s the new substitute assistant referee! Has the little brat's hair grown out yet? Don’t you even look at whose territory this is and how dare you speak so brazenly here? !
What? Is he an English referee? ! oh! Dog shit! Has England's blind refereeing skills come into play again? ! How come in the Champions League we still can't escape the fear of being dominated by the blind English referee!
The excited Liverpool fans seemed to have forgotten that this penalty was not caused by the referee's blindness, on the contrary, it was because the referee's eyes were too sharp.
If this ball was judged to be a valid goal, I'm afraid it would be the Real Madrid fans who booed the blind referee.
This time the Real Madrid players were quiet. Not only did they feel relieved, they also wanted to be secretly happy.
Raul looked at Ivan with admiration.
Ramos widened his eyes and looked Ivan up and down as if he was some terrible monster.
Pepe opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He actually succeeded in his protest. Someone stood up for him!
Cassie looked at Ivan gratefully, and nodded slightly at him when no one was paying attention.
Liverpool players are fed up with this, this is too much! Who do you think you are? Our ball is gone just like that?
etc! This substitute referee looks familiar. Isn’t he the retired golden boy?
Enemies meet on a narrow road!
Wasn't it that Alvin DeWitt retired because he was allegedly hit by one of their fans? Is he holding a grudge?
What's wrong with UEFA? Why do they send all kinds of referees to the matches?
The referee made the decision, and this time it was Liverpool players' turn to protest but it was ineffective. The referee announced that the game would continue, and it was Real Madrid's goal kick, and Casillas kicked the ball out with a long foot.
There was nothing the Liverpool players could do even though they were unhappy; they could not disobey the referee's decision.
The ball was kicked across half court and Ivan re-entered the game, chasing the ball.
For the first time ever, Spanish golden boy Torres did not actively follow up to look for opportunities. He just wandered around his position, seemingly observing the situation, but in fact he was distracted.
