Anfield was furious. It was that same linesman again who made their Saint Torres' goal fail!
Even boos can't express their anger!
After some fans finished cursing, they started discussing the background of the linesman. He was just a substitute assistant referee. How could he be so shameless?
"Wait," exclaimed a Liverpool fan holding a mobile phone, "that linesman is Alvin de Witt!"
The fans around him who heard him shouting were silent for a moment, then their eyes widened: "Is it him? Is he taking revenge on us? He definitely doesn't like us, right?"
"Who knows? Although I always see some tabloids smearing him, from my experience of browsing Twitter in the past few days, his reputation seems to be pretty good."
"Hey! I don't care what hatred he has against us. If he knows what's best for him, he should know that this is our home ground!"
There were also different voices that were eagerly heard: "I think he is great, he plays football well, and he is also an excellent referee..."
The indignant fan just wanted to see which kid dared to sing such a different tune.
Wait, why does this voice sound familiar?
The fan saw that the person staring at him and yelling at him was his 12-year-old son. He knew his son and he would never say such irrelevant words! He is just like me, an absolute loyal Liverpool fan!
What's wrong with this kid? Did you take the wrong medicine today?
The 12-year-old boy said confidently: "What I said is true. I have watched some videos of his refereeing. It is very accurate!"
The football fan dad had to cover his mouth with his hand and compromised temporarily: "Oh my little ancestor, please keep your voice down." He didn't want the father and son to arouse public anger.
As an open-minded father, he could not say anything more. He comforted his son and muttered, "Hey, for the sake of being English."
On the court.
Torres was still dazed. He silently glanced at the captain who was shaking his head and laughing helplessly, then looked at the little time left, knowing that he would not have many chances to score another goal in this game.
Every time he celebrated before, he wanted to jump on the captain's back. Through repeated experience, he gradually figured out from which angle and which force point he could jump on the captain's back for a longer time. However, he probably couldn't try this experiment again in this game.
Tsk, being too tall is also a problem.
He ruffled his hair, trying to make himself look normal. An angel in his heart, Toni, seemed to be saying to him: Ivan would not deliberately make things difficult for me just because I want to exchange jerseys with him. He is not that kind of person!
It must be my bad luck! It’s not a question of our strength! I have absolute confidence and ability, and so must Alvin!
He tried to ignore the screams of another demon in his heart, Tonyo: But why are your eyes so sharp! QAQ
Do you think I'd be embarrassed to exchange jerseys with you if I didn't score a goal? snort! I want to change it!
He couldn't help but look at Ivan with resentment.
The opponent was no longer standing there. The referee blew the whistle for the few remaining games. Ivan had already run far away, leaving only his back.
Well, it looks like Alvin's height and muscular body...he should be able to catch him steadily.
Toni started running, thinking silently, it would be great if we were teammates, so that if I or he scored a goal, I could jump happily on his back. He will definitely be able to hold me up... (?)
In front of the TV, Luo Xiaoxiao was holding the water cup that she had been holding for a long time, and most of the ice in it had melted.
It was not until he heard the referee's whistle that he remembered he was thirsty. He mechanically put the cup of water to his mouth, took a big sip, and then accidentally choked.
Cough cough cough! You are worthy of being my little friend, excellent!
Real Madrid's possession rate of the ball increased significantly and their number of shots increased, but they were unable to score a goal.
Benítez is no longer stingy with his substitutions. He needs to prepare for the next game. Although everything is settled for now, the team still has many challenges to face, such as the recent game against Manchester United.
He replaced the captain Gerrard, the biggest contributor on the field, because the opponent's injury had not fully healed and he could not overdraw.
Andy: "Liverpool replaced captain Gerrard with young defensive player Spelling. They are going to start focusing on defense, which will undoubtedly bring more pressure to Real Madrid's offense."
Richard: "Real Madrid's quota of substitutions has not been used up yet. What adjustments will they make? There is no point in defending at this time."
Real Madrid coach Ramos still has one substitution available.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the field. The referee was very relaxed at this time. He did not pursue Sneijder's accidental handball, but just waved his hand to let the game continue.
Then there was another offside, but there was no need for Ivan to raise the flag. The Liverpool players also created an offside in retaliation. This offside was obviously better. They just waited for Raul to receive the ball and score, and then raised their hands to indicate that the other party was offside.
The opposing linesman raised his flag to confirm offside, and Reina kicked out another goal kick. The players on both sides slowed down and their strength was about to run out.
So Alvin could pay attention to other things. He saw out of the corner of his eye that a blond-haired player stood up on the Real Madrid bench. The coach gave him some instructions, and he responded while putting on a sports headband and walked to the sidelines to warm up.
After Gago shot high again, the fourth official raised the sign for a substitution.
Andy: "The Real Madrid coach used up the last spot and he chose to replace the exhausted No. 8, Gago, with No. 14 Guti."
The camera was focused on him, and the fans who saw this scene were probably most impressed by his platinum hair swinging in the air as he ran.
Richard lamented: "Guti has always been a very useful player for Real Madrid's linking and attacking, but slowly, it seems that as the game progresses, he has lost his position as a main player..."
While everyone briefly focused their attention on Guti, so did Ivan. Feeling his gaze, Guti, who was running towards him, met his eyes.
The two people were not familiar with each other, and soon their attention was focused on the ball.
Looking at the Liverpool players crowded in their own penalty area, Irvin felt that their defense was not very orderly. On the contrary, their steps were a little chaotic due to physical exhaustion.
Van der Vaart failed to play the role he should have, or rather he was useful, as Real Madrid always fell short in front of the goal. I wonder if Guti, who was substituted in at the end, can prove in these ten minutes that the coach's decision was correct.
The Liverpool coach also used up his last substitution and Torres was also substituted.
The game wasn't over yet and Torres hadn't scored a single goal.
Unhappy.jpg
It's time for Liverpool to relax their attack. There is little point in expanding the score. Moreover, when they frequently dribble into the penalty area, Real Madrid defenders will make reckless tackles without considering the consequences. It's not worth it for them to get injured.
However, Liverpool may not know how to write the words "honest defense". They counterattacked when they should, without caring about their face at all. After being interrupted several times by Pepe and others, they scored again.
The goal was scored by Liverpool's No. 3, a defender.
No key offensive player? Their defender also comes to shoot!
Ivan shook his head in his heart, all Real Madrid players aim to score goals, and their defense is terrible. However, even so, the forwards can't score goals, they are neither good nor bad, it's better for them to score goals by accident with solid defense.
Cassie squatted beside the goalpost as if exhausted, his eyes a little blurry.
Andy stopped expressing his opinion and stated the score: "Liverpool 3-0 Real Madrid."
As the stoppage time passed, Real Madrid failed to save face by scoring a goal. Similarly, Torres, who was sitting on the bench and silently drawing circles, failed to realize his wish of this game - scoring a goal. Even though his performance level in 80 minutes had far exceeded the requirements of coach Benítez, he was still full of regrets.
The Champions League round of 16 ended with Real Madrid losing to Liverpool 0-4 on aggregate and being eliminated.
The Real Madrid players fully demonstrated what it means not to be happy with things, nor to be sad with oneself. They were very quiet and no longer had any excitement at all.
——I’ve gotten used to it. I haven’t made it to the top eight in five years. I’m mentally strong. Anyway, I tried my best.
Raul wiped his face, and the camera couldn't tell whether the wetness on his thick eyelashes was sweat. Guti had no expression. Ever since head coach Schuster was sacked midway through this season and Juande Ramos took over the reins, he has been excluded from the main roster. He is 32 years old this year and the time for him to leave Real Madrid is getting closer and closer.
The game was over, and before the camera moved away from the field, Richard was chattering non-stop: "Oh, it's really a mixed bag. Liverpool beat Real Madrid and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Bayern had already won, Sporting Lisbon had no intention of fighting, and Chelsea also successfully eliminated Juventus and advanced with Drogba's goal."
Of course, not everyone showed no emotion. Casillas didn't move in front of the goal for a long time until he was about to shake hands, then he took his heavy steps.
Torres, like other players who were ready to celebrate, left the bench, but he took a few steps and then stopped moving. Instead, he watched the 20 or so players shake hands.
After the handshake, the game was officially over. The referee and his team were very happy. They were off work and could get their wages and leave. At this time, they had no control over what the players on either side did.
The Real Madrid players prepared to leave with expressionless faces, but the Liverpool players did not leave quickly. They happily accepted the cheers and praises from their fans.
The last person standing from Real Madrid was Casillas. After shaking hands, he just stood there in a daze. Everyone was so immersed in their own emotions that no one seemed to notice him.
Then he felt someone hugging him.
He thought it was his teammate and subconsciously opened his mouth to thank him. However, he soon discovered that something was wrong. The other person's scent was completely different from that of his teammates. Although he was sweaty, it did not have those of his teammates - after playing on the court for more than 90 minutes, it was definitely not a pleasant smell.
The embrace was very warm, but he was soon let go. At this time, Cassie finally saw the other person's face clearly - it was Ivan, the Ivan who had exchanged jerseys with him.
"You're great, Igor," Ivan patted him on the shoulder. "You've made a lot of progress. I just evaluated it. If it were me, I wouldn't be sure that I could hit your goal every time."
Cassie was suddenly speechless. Is Alvin telling a joke? But he looked very serious and wasn't smiling at all.
Probably to make him happy.
Well, Casillas admitted that he was comforted. At least he didn't want to cry anymore. At least Ivan admitted that he was very strong. He said that he was not sure that the ball would not be blocked when facing him.
etc! Is this just to comfort him? Isn't this a veiled self-praise?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Captain Raul didn't leave either. He witnessed the two men hugging each other and seemed to be reminded of something.
He came over.
Cassie turned around and found it was the captain. He turned to look at Ivan and immediately thought of how to respond to his words that seemed to comfort others but were actually bragging about himself: "Your idol is here, Ivan."
After the captain heard that Alvin actually wanted to exchange jerseys with him, he has been "brooding" about the fact that Alvin took the jersey of his little fan first. Now the captain's arrival is really timely. I hope they can have a good chat.
Torres was asking captain Gerrard for help, and when he turned around he saw Raul walking towards Ivan.
! ! !
Toni's inner alarm bells were ringing.
What you fear will come true!
He hurriedly urged the captain, who helplessly reminded him: "The referee has already entered the player tunnel." What he meant was that he was in a hurry to leave and didn't care whether you went past him to find the linesman or not. Anyway, he was not familiar with this "cheap linesman."
! ! !
That seems to be the case!
"Then you go first, captain, you don't have to wait for me!" Torres said and ran away.
Thrown away after being used, Gerard, who was in a mess in the wind, said: "..."
Ivan was still tactfully expressing his respect for Raul, and told Raul that he had agreed to give his clothes to Torres. He also said that he had brought spare referee clothes, and if Raul was willing, he wanted to leave the court and exchange them with him privately.
As a referee, one should not be so close to the players. Irvin understands that actively hugging the Real Madrid goalkeeper is already the limit. He is basically testing the edge of the unspoken rules of the referee committee.
Taking advantage of the lingering heat of last year's Bronze Ball Award, he feels that he is still very willful, whether it is racing or having too many negotiations with players in public.
When Torres Torres arrived, he suddenly ran up to them.
He panted, looked at Ivan with bright eyes, then turned to look at Raul without any rejection.
31-year-old Raul: “…” Kids nowadays are really amazing.
The 24-year-old Torres said that he is not a kid, he is very good and he can shoot down Real Madrid.
The 20-year-old Ivan looked at their eye contact, which was a thousand words turned into a glance, and silently looked away.
Ivan still distanced himself from them. He felt the camera lens turned to their side.
Guti, who was passing by, glanced at them. Don't think he didn't know that when the two people were hugging just now, the linesman named Ivan took advantage of the position and used his body to block the prying eyes of the media.
Is it so easy to borrow my majestic physique? He snorted, said nothing, and walked away, leaving behind a shadow of flowing blond hair for the camera to focus on.
Gago, wearing his team jacket, also passed by them, looked in their direction in confusion, and entered the shot.
Ronaldo, who hadn't turned off the TV yet, glanced at Guti and Torres, both of whom had long blond hair. He thought of Gago, who, although not blond, had long hair and looked gentle and shy. They seemed to have a good relationship.
The Portuguese suddenly fell into deep doubt about his friend Alvin's aesthetic taste.
Oh shit! Could it be that Alvin particularly likes this one? ! No wonder I told him before that I liked his curly hairstyle. Even though it’s not long, it’s golden!
As for other Real Madrid players, except for a few who love bald heads, such as Cannavaro, Robben and Sneijder have thin hair. Pepe and Marcelo cut their hair very short, while others, such as Ramos and Raul, have long hair!
Even Barcelona's Messi... hey! This guy considered long hair to be beautiful a few years ago!
Golden, or long, smooth, flowing...
He felt that he had discovered another amazing secret!
Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes went dark as he discovered that, apart from the barely matching gold color, everything else had nothing to do with his hairstyle. Moreover, what was different was that he also had a special liking for hairspray.
Is this Alvin’s standard for making friends? ! The Portuguese people's sense of crisis suddenly became stronger than ever before.
Just when the crowd was still discussing Torres's attitude and whether he should ask the linesman to exchange jerseys, Torres in the camera took action.
He quickly took off his coat, then took off the jersey that was not yet dry and handed it to Alvin.
Alvin didn't think much about it and prepared to take off his clothes.
Oh shit!
Some female fans stared intently and held their breath.
Ronaldo had the same reaction as them: "..."
Ivan put his hands on the hem of his clothes and lifted them up, revealing a small part of his flexible, white waist and abdomen with a faint mermaid line.
Just as he was about to see more, the owner of the hand paused again, as if remembering something. He said a few words to Torres, who nodded in understanding, and the two left the stadium one after the other.
Ivan’s fans:? ? ?
They've already pressed the record button, and you show us this? Is that it?
Luo Xiaoxiao:? ? ?
Is there anyone as smart as him who thinks of exchanging jerseys with the referee so soon?
Referee, don't let us off!
Luo Xiaoxiao seemed to have forgotten who started this "trend".
A week later.
Irving left the small stadium where the Championship match had just been held and went into the referee's lounge to change clothes when he received a call from his agent Mark.
"Hi, Mark." Ivan greeted him, his left hand moving constantly, and he opened a bottle of water.
"Hey, Ivan, I calculated that you would finish the game now. How is it? Is everything going well?" Mark's voice came. As more and more things about Ivan came out, he was more motivated.
"It's going well. What's the matter?" Ivan tilted his head back and took a sip of water.
Mark stopped talking about business and said, "It's like this. There are three things, but they are all good news. First, the marketing director at Angel wants to launch 'Angel' at the end of April. They want to take advantage of your amazing performance in the Champions League these days and put out the advertisement within a month while the popularity has not died down."
"Yes, sure." Alvin responded, remembering the extra bottle of primary repair potion he had a few days ago.
"Man, you are simply the walking focus," Mark did not hesitate to praise. "The second thing is, you mentioned to me before that the crew invited you. They contacted me yesterday, for Captain America 1 and Fast & Furious 5. What do you think about this? To be honest, I am not completely opposed to it, as long as you can do your best."
Mark was confident that since Alvin told him this, it meant that Alvin did not completely reject it.
"What did they say? Are they in a hurry to get me to perform? I definitely won't be available this year." Alvin put down the water bottle and took the towel.
"Oh, of course not. The time they gave is very broad. Anyway, they are just inviting you to make a friendly guest appearance. You know, movies are shot in all sorts of random places. It doesn't matter if they shoot the ending first. You can go and experience it next year when you are free."
Ivan didn't comment, so Mark knew something was up. He kept it in mind and moved on to the next topic: "There's another thing you'll definitely be interested in, and it's also very important."
He cleared his throat. "A gentleman named Walter contacted me. He asked me to remind you to be careful recently and not get too close to any team or player, especially the players. Anyway, it can't be seen by the media and publicized. He also mentioned that a linesman who often works with Webber's referee team may not be able to participate in the game normally next month."
Hearing this, Ivan paused as he was wiping his face with a towel.
Mark continued: "Hey, congratulations, man. You can probably experience the Champions League again. Of course, this is all thanks to your amazing performance in the past six months, and probably the internal recommendation of an unknown referee committee."
The author has something to say: So what did Ivan and Torres say? Why did he stop taking off his clothes halfway?
By the way, your second child just joined Bayern's first team in 2009. He seems to be sitting on the bench in the next game, but I will try my best to give him more roles.
Author (handing over the microphone): How do you celebrate when you score a goal in a game?
Toni: Being too tall is also a problem. It’s not easy to jump on someone’s back.
Luo Xiaoxiao: For me, I am always the one who gets jumped on the back (proud face)
Alvin: Just hug and that’s it, no need for any fancy moves.
Raul: Just kiss the ring and that’s it, no need for so many fancy things.
Messi: I will jump on them and my teammates are happy to pick me up (￣︶￣*))
Everyone: →_→
