Andy chuckled, oblivious to the question his companion Richard asked casually. He paddled in the water: "Oh, this is really the heyday of the Premier League teams."
Message Board:
"??? What does Richard mean by this?"
"Manchester United fans here, we don't have that many away tickets, everyone is watching the live broadcast, Ivan, hurry up and say Manchester United will win!"
"C Ronaldo and you are good friends! Come on, hurry up, you are optimistic about Manchester United, right?"
"Actually, I'm not panicking. Manchester United is pretty stable. Ivan should think the same."
"Heh. No one in Arsenal is bullying us?"
"Ask us if Van Persie agrees?"
"Have you asked us Fabregas?!"
"Rosicky sneered as he watched you guys pretending to be cool."
"Chelsea fans here, we tied 0-0 with Barcelona in the first leg away from home, so we still have a great chance of winning this home game, but I still want to hear Alvin praise Chelsea... Will Xiao Tiantian consider giving us a dose of reassurance?"
"Are you bullying us Barcelona fans for not knowing English? I was attracted by the Twitter incident to watch your live broadcast in England. If it weren't for the referee's help in the last game, you Chelsea would have been finished long ago."
"It's still unclear who will be eliminated. There are three Premier League teams in the semi-finals. Isn't it embarrassing for Barcelona, a La Liga team? Go home. This is our Premier League game."
"Neutral fans said they just wanted to know whether Rooney helped Barcelona."
"Liverpool fans here, are you embarrassed, Alvin? Or are you optimistic that Liverpool will win the Champions League next season?"
"What the hell are Liverpool fans doing barging in? Just go cry in the corner with your little cutie Torres."
"Müller said he didn't agree. They were eliminated by Barcelona by one goal in the second round. Is he crying to Klose now?"
Ivan glanced at the message board and raised his eyelids: "All four teams are very strong, it's hard to say."
Richard continued: "If you have to name one? Or, can you name a team that you are most optimistic about winning the championship?"
Andy assisted: "Before the game, we all saw your interaction on Twitter. It can be seen that you are still very friendly with these teams. I also want to know whether Cech and Ronaldo can perform beyond their level. Just name one at random, it doesn't matter."
The rational fans on the message board are laughing. These two commentators seemed normal before, but it turns out they were waiting here with bad intentions. Do they want to trick our Alvin?
Richard pointed to the message board and said, "Look, the fans are waiting for your answer."
The message board said that although they knew the commentator was trying to trick Alvin, they still wanted to know Alvin's answer.
Some people who were eyeing Ivan and wanted to find something to hold against him became excited. They pricked up their ears, waiting to see Ivan answer the death question.
Ivan's heart sank. He glanced at the two commentators with an ambiguous look and said, "I really can't explain it clearly. If you must get an answer, why don't I draw one?"
"Oh... that's fine," Andy kicked Richard from below. "Don't go too far, man. Be careful of being scolded by his fans after the game." "Can the staff bring us a cardboard box? Write down the names of the four teams temporarily?"
The director of Sky Sports immediately ordered the staff to do the work. They were very efficient. While the referee was preparing to toss a coin, they brought over the simple box and four small notes.
"Please take a look. There are indeed four teams." Richard showed the note to Ivan.
"Yeah." Ivan watched Andy put the note into four identical little balls that could be opened.
"You can always draw one, Ivan."
The message board exploded and the director of Sky Sports couldn't stop laughing. Just this small team draw activity actually made the ratings of this game reach a new high in three seasons.
The fans on the message board started to synchronize their styles. They all cried out and prayed that Irvin would draw the team they supported.
"God, I'm more nervous than watching the home team in the Champions League final."
"Me too. My palms are sweaty. Aaaah my heart is beating so fast."
"I weakly protested, 'Stop smoking, Sweetie. Is it too late? I'm really scared.'"
"I'm afraid too, but I still want to see him smoke."
"I was attracted here by Ivan's team draw. I'm a Barcelona fan here, so did he draw?"
"Strange, why am I so excited when my home team is already eliminated?"
"Yesterday I was crying because Liverpool was eliminated, today I am laughing as you, the top four teams, are so nervous that you are suffocating."
"I don't really understand. How can a referee like him decide the Champions League winner? Even the referee of the Champions League wouldn't dare to say that, right? Are you guys here to make fun of me? I give up."
"The person above just came out of a mountain village with no internet, so check Twitter more often. The world outside is not as dull and boring as you think."
Without perspective, no one knew whether Alvin had drawn the ball or not. They strongly demanded perspective and did not even care about the situation on the field. Anyway, the game had just started and both sides had not fully entered the game.
So Sky Sports, for the first time, put a small box in the lower right corner of the live broadcast so that fans could see Ivan.
Everyone held their breath and watched Ivan put his hand into the draw box. The scene was even more exciting than when UEFA President Platini drew lots for the Champions League knockout stage.
No one was calm, which was in stark contrast to Ivan's calmness. Ivan's fans almost cried when they saw his indifferent look.
#Sweetheart! Little ancestor! Didn’t you say you were nervous?
#Seeing how calm he was, we felt even more unsure about what to do!
Ivan put his hand into the box, and the fans of the top four teams almost jumped out of their throats.
He was in no hurry.
I saw him raise his eyebrows playfully and smile. My heartbeat quickened when I saw him reaching out his hand, and my heart trembled again when I saw him smile. The fans' hearts were moved by his every move and they almost knelt down to him.
Please, my sweetheart, give me some pleasure!
ah!
I never realized you were so bad before!
snort! The last time you were trying to dribble the ball and got your lips scratched by Muller, we should have seen the meanness in you! It's not so frustrating! foul!
But inexplicably I love him even more madly! I love every side of him!
Irvin took out the drawing ball very quickly, as if he had created enough of a foreshadowing atmosphere. He was very straightforward and did not give the fans any psychological preparation. He tossed the ball up leisurely and then caught it steadily in his palm.
"The answers you want." He opened the ball directly before leaving any comments on the message board.
Message Board:! ! !
He glanced at the team name on the note, and saw the situation on the field from the corner of his eye, and suddenly changed the subject: "Well, Arsenal has the ball and is attacking. Let's take a look at this ball first..."
The fans were so angry about his sudden change of mind, but they still couldn't feel any resentment. What you said is right, and what you said is what it means.
Their appetites were completely whetted, and they were eagerly waiting for Alvin to announce the answer.
Andy and Richard looked at each other. Aren't they the main commentators? Why did the rhythm seem to be completely controlled by Ivan?
Damn, I learned it by myself!
The fans who were just watching the show laughed at the naivety of the two commentators. They wanted to trick Irving but ended up being the one who got the better of them? Hahaha, you're confused!
However, to be honest, I feel that Alvin is also very suitable to be a commentator. He is simply all-round. He has a nice voice, accurate and clear pronunciation, and beautiful and stylish word choice. He is more suitable for foreigners to learn English than the BBC. The most important thing is that he has a good rhythm, just like when he used to play football and liven up the whole field, leading the opposing team by the nose, and making the opponent score without knowing what happened!
He's not as active on Twitter as he used to be, and they've almost forgotten his ability to set the tone. Despite being on the hot headlines, it seems to have nothing to do with him! He didn't do anything, but somehow he became a regular on Twitter's trending searches!
It turns out that it wasn't that he didn't have the rhythm, it was that he didn't have the chance to do so!
Irving ignored the different reactions of the crowd and said, "Sagna broke through from the right... well, it was blocked. OK, the attack continues. Manchester United failed to get a good attacking opportunity, and the ball was returned to Arsenal again."
Andy: “…”
Richard: “…”
Message board: “…”Wow! all right! Who said you know nothing? We are optimistic about you!
The director desperately gave the two commentators eye hints in the backstage, and they finally reacted.
Andy immediately forced his presence: "In the 3rd minute of the game, Fabregas! No. 4 Fabregas shot! Oh! Unfortunately, it hit the opponent's defender... Huh?! The ball bounced twice between Ferdinand and Vidic, this ball is a bit dangerous!"
Irwin's thinking was clear: "Fabregas shot from outside the penalty area, but the timing of the shot was not good enough. Manchester United captain Ferdinand, No. 5, might not have reacted in time, but when the ball bounced to Vidic, No. 15, Vidic made a clearance move, but the direction was not towards the goal, so the possibility of scoring was relatively small. He let the ball bounce out of the bottom line, and it was a corner kick."
Richard, who was silently watching their two completely inconsistent professionalism, said: "..."
Andy, who is always responsible for creating an atmosphere but doesn't have much professional knowledge: "..."
The message board temporarily forgot to look at the draw results. They just wanted to applaud and shout 66, but unfortunately Alvin couldn't hear them.
The flags at the Emirates Stadium waved more happily, and Arsenal fans sang "We will rock you" loudly to encourage their players and hit Manchester United.
Everyone had a hopeful smile on their face, and the cute little fans smiled particularly brightly.
Rooney's smile is brighter than theirs. He is very aware of himself and will be in the camera at any time. He wants to be in the best condition to meet the praise from his teammate Irving.
The few Arsenal fans who watched the live broadcast were worried and affected by the draw. On the one hand, they were uneasy about the result that Irving had drawn, and on the other hand, they sneered at his so-called "koi" physique.
Bookmakers attach great importance to this match. Since learning that Ivan will commentate on the second round, they have deliberately changed the odds.
According to their internal analysis, there are no matches related to Alvin DeWitt that are evenly matched or have similar scores.
Andy pointed out the highlight of the game: "Ferguson put the Korean player Park Ji-sung on the right side, which is an idea worth thinking about."
Richard continued: "This Korean is in great form recently. He pushed Tevez, who plays in a similar position, onto the bench."
Ivan watched the changes in the players' positions on the field and finally came to a conclusion that Sir Ferguson's choice was bold, but as long as it was successful, it would cause unexpected suppression to Arsenal.
The two commentators were speculating whether this interesting position change by the Korean player would be effective. Ivan expressed his opinion: "I think it will be effective. The Korean player's right frontcourt connection effect has been shown."
The fans watching the stadium suddenly heard this and said, "Emmmm."
Oh shit! Is this the beginning of milking? Did Ivan draw Manchester United? !
Richard disagreed: "The main breakthrough points for the goal should still be Cristiano Ronaldo on the left and center forward Rooney. Park Ji-sung's role is probably to distract the opponent's defensive players."
In the seventh minute of the game, Manchester United midfielder No. 8 Anderson passed the ball directly to Ronaldo. The latter took the ball to the left side of the penalty area and was about to reach the blind corner. He immediately passed the ball to Park Ji-sung on the right!
Andy: "Arsenal's No. 40 missed the ball, but it doesn't matter, Park Ji-sung has someone defending him, two people are fighting for the ball... The Korean shot! Goal?!!"
Message board: "..."
Richard found it incredible: "Look at the replay... Manchester United's No. 13 received a pass from his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and was interfered by Arsenal's No. 20 Jorou. He still chose to shoot! Oh! I'm afraid the Korean himself didn't expect to score this goal!"
Park Ji-sung was so excited that he couldn't control himself! Scored a goal in the Champions League semi-final! This is one of the few goals he has ever scored! Very rare!
Ivan watched the Manchester United players celebrate with a smile. They all went up to hug Park Ji-sung. Ronaldo also went up, but all of them avoided the Korean's hair.
Irwin joked: "Park Ji-sung has an incredible amount of hair, and his hairstyle is very unique."
Richard, who had just concluded that Park Ji-sung's arrangement was useless: "..."
Message board: "..."
Does the explanation hurt your face? And Alvin, do you think we can't see that you are supporting Manchester United just because you change the subject? ! Oh shit! You just finished milking Manchester United and they scored a goal!
Chelsea fans screamed, Alvin! Sweetie! Come on, let us get one in too!
Andy could see his partner's embarrassment. He knew what was on the message board without even looking at it, so he decided to change the subject: "Hey, Manchester United got off to a dream start in less than eight minutes, leading Arsenal 2-0 in both legs."
#Arsenal fans choose death, their bad premonition is very strong.
Richard pretended nothing had happened: "Chelsea and Barcelona are still tied over there, neither side has scored a goal. I wonder if this game will be the same as their first leg, with zero goals until the end."
Ivan pretended not to notice his embarrassment: "Well, the next door is equally strong. When I was playing football before, I also met Barcelona in the Champions League knockout stage. They are not easy to deal with, but Chelsea has been in good form recently and should be able to score a goal."
