The first half of the game ended, the camera returned to the live broadcast room, and Ivan's figure appeared clearly on the screen.
The two commentators looked at him hungrily, or to be more precise, they looked at the small ball in his hand hungrily.
The ball is hollow, but now the note that Alvin drew is no longer inside it.
——The note is in Ivan’s hand. Only Alvin knows the answer.
"Okay, now the answer will be announced." Alvin said, handing the note in his hand to Andy who was sitting closest to him.
Andy's eyes lit up, he took the note and unfolded it together with Richard who came over.
The note was not small, it was the largest size, so it had to be folded several times.
Everyone in front of the TV, including the backstage staff, was staring at the movements and expressions of the two commentators.
The expressions on the two men's faces changed from excitement to confusion.
#Change face in a second.
"Why is this blank?" Richard rubbed his eyes. Yes, it was blank.
Ivan explained innocently: "I don't know either. I just took it out and took a look. I was also very surprised. But before I could say anything, Manchester United took the ball into the penalty area. The first half of the game was so exciting that I couldn't find a chance to say anything."
Andy & Richard: "..."
The staff responsible for drawing the lottery slips: "..."
Fans watching the live broadcast: “…”
Oh.
Believe you?
The message board was flooded with requests for unpacking and inspection.
Ivan gave a sincere smile to the staff member who came up, and the other party was stunned for a moment.
Ivan: "Really, there are five balls in this box. Maybe there was an extra ball in the box originally, but it was neglected. I just happened to take the note without any words on it."
Without waiting for others to react, he reached in with his other hand, fumbled for a while, and took out the balls one by one.
One, two, three, four, plus the one outside, it really makes five.
Everyone: “…” Okay, this is pretty cool.
So we've been waiting for a long time, but you tell us that you didn't draw a team at all?
Don't believe it! This doesn't suit your physique!
Everyone felt that something was wrong, but no one could put their finger on it.
Andy didn't give up. He always felt that Ivan might have done something, even though the props were provided by them: "Do you mind if we open the other four lottery balls and take a look?"
"Of course not, please feel free to do as you please." Ivan was very generous, and the two commentators became even more suspicious.
Ivan shook the box, showing them with his actions that there was nothing left inside.
The message board was expressionless, they didn't want to talk.
#I always feel that the time has come to witness a miracle.
Andy opened the four balls and he took out the first note, good, Barcelona.
Then he took out the second one.
Manchester United, awesome.
Next up, Chelsea.
Last one, Arsenal.
“…”
Do you have to draw again because of a staff error?
Ivan said: "The second draw is meaningless. Maybe even God is not sure?"
Message board: "..."
It’s pretty good. I guess it won’t work if I smoke it again.
#I don't feel like I'll ever love again
#It's ok, I forgive you, who made you look good
Andy still felt something was not right. However, we cannot spend too much time on this matter and we also need to reserve time for advertising.
After a brief summary, Richard shrugged and said, "Okay, audience friends, it's commercial time next. Don't leave during the commercials. There are surprises waiting for you."
Message board:? ? ?
Some people didn't take it seriously. They thought Richard was saying that the second half of the game would be exciting, so they changed the channel. Other fans were more patient. They didn't want to miss the few seconds of Ivan's footage before the start of the second half because of changing the channel.
These people were the first to receive the “surprise” that Richard mentioned. The moment they saw the advertisement come out, they realized what the so-called surprise was.
A familiar figure appeared on the screen.
He was wearing a sky blue coat with a white lining, and slim-fitting trousers that wrapped around his straight, long legs.
He has curly hair, and it seems like I've seen this hairstyle somewhere before.
This, this person! They just saw him in the live broadcast room!
It's Alvin!
The child who was watching the live broadcast with his family widened his eyes and turned to his mother who was not paying attention to the TV: "Mom! Look! Ivan is walking in the TV!"
His mother turned her head and looked at the TV, her mouth open and she forgot to close it.
The fans who didn't change the channel fell silent, and they watched the advertisement, which was being broadcast for the first time, attentively.
The man on TV looked younger, but in just a few months, Alvin had matured a lot without even noticing.
At least he can no longer be seen as a carefree-looking teenager like he is on TV.
He passed a ball field and he met a beautiful girl.
He blocked a ball for her, and the fate of the two seemed to begin from this encounter.
But what impressed people more was not the beautiful heroine, but the round-headed little boy. Under the guidance of the young man who gave the ball back to him, he scored a free kick that was amazing for his age.
——A realistic sleepy ball.
The young man smiled in surprise. The light that burst out from his eyes at that moment reminded people of the candlelight in the darkness, and the next second, it was all hidden under his long eyelashes.
The little boy's talent astounded the young man, and the young man's smile astounded the people watching the ad.
You watch the surprise on TV, and we watch you in front of the TV.
The little boy asked the young man his name. The young man tilted his head and slowly uttered a word.
At this time, the screen went black, and Ingres's perfume bottle appeared in the middle with a string of letters next to it.
Ivan's voice sounded, as if he was reciting that word:
“Angel.”
First meeting, acquaintance.
After the commercial was over, fans who were still unsatisfied with the plot or with Ivan wanted to play it ten more times.
They all turned on their computers and logged into the official website of Angler, and found that the homepage had indeed changed its style.
Angel Perfume is exclusively on the front page, and Alvin’s signature appears there neatly and beautifully.
Click in and you can see several of his posters.
In one of the photos, he is looking straight ahead with his eyes wide open, holding a perfume bottle in one hand and supporting his chin with the other, looking innocent.
Fans: “…” I don’t know why, but I always feel like my idol is looking at me, asking me if I want him.
Sweet little angel, won’t you consider it?
Dozens of euros each, why not take one home?
Ahhhhhhhhh!
Buy, buy, buy! Yes, yes, yes!
15 minutes later, the phone at Angel Company kept ringing, and all departments were urged to work overtime.
hurry up! All the newly released ones are sold out! Time to restock!
The second half of the game is about to begin.
When Ronaldo and Rooney came out of the player tunnel, they looked around several times.
Van der Sar noticed their actions and saw through his teammates' intentions. He pointed in one direction: "The camera is here."
The two men bumped shoulders with each other, made a cool gesture to the camera as if to demonstrate, and then walked out of the player tunnel with their arms around each other and Van der Sar.
Van der Sar: “…” Suddenly so enthusiastic?
Rooney's teasing voice sounded: "Hey, brother, I told you not to panic, didn't I? What do you mean? How does it feel to win this game without any effort?"
Van der Sar: “…”
Van der Sar smiled and said: "That's good. I hope I can maintain this leisurely state until the final."
"No problem," Rooney smiled brightly, "You can continue to lean against the goal post in the second half with peace of mind, we are there in front of you."
Van der Sar patted them on the shoulders and said, "Come on, I'm rooting for you."
Sky Sports Live.
Andy cleared his throat and turned on the microphone: "Dear audience, welcome back. What is about to start is the second half of the match between Manchester United and Arsenal."
Richard: "I wonder if everyone has received the surprise from our special guest?"
There are two groups on the message board. One group said that they received the surprise, had placed the order, and were waiting to bring Little Sweetie home, to sleep with his scent at night and to work with his scent during the day; the others were confused and they didn't know what was going on.
The person who placed the order realized it, so before the game started, when Alvin said “It’s a pity you can’t smell it”, was this the perfume?
Ivan saw the message and smiled: "Yes, you can't smell it now, but you will be able to smell it in a few days. Remember to tell me if you like it or not."
! ! !
The same style as the male god, you must like it!
The camera returns to the court.
Andy: "Arsenal made a substitution. No. 40 Gibbs, who was not in good form in the first half, was replaced by No. 27 Eboue."
The camera seemed to have discovered something bright, and that bright spot was on the stands.
Richard was surprised: "Oh! Look who we see? Former Manchester United player Beckham and former Arsenal player Flamini are both in the stands!"
Andy read out the statistics: "David Beckham, currently playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy, played 100 times for England on March 26 this year, becoming the fifth player in English history to enter the Hall of Fame with 100 appearances."
Richard commented: "It can be seen that he still has a sincere friendship for Manchester United. Manchester United and Arsenal have one thing in common, old man, their coaches have trained many outstanding students."
Andy sighed: "Yes. All the excellent coaches in the Premier League have left or retired. The only ones who have remained consistent over the years and developed feelings for each other are Ferguson and Wenger. The coaches are permanent, but the players are transient."
The two of them were talking and the topic changed to the next room: "Chelsea is still strong. The strong coach who made them into an iron-blooded team is now with Inter Milan, which was eliminated by Manchester United and stopped in the round of 16."
Chelsea fans can't listen anymore, stop! Can’t you see my little sweetie is next to you? Can someone explain it to us?
Ivan did not participate in their discussion at all; he focused on the game.
Rooney promised to score a goal, so he was obsessed with it throughout the second half and couldn't extricate himself.
Ronaldo played better and better, but he still couldn't score a goal, and his passes to Rooney also missed.
Ivan continued to praise them seriously. The fans laughed as they listened and analyzed whether Ivan was praising Manchester United in any way.
5 minutes passed.
10 minutes passed.
20 minutes passed.
It seemed that Alvin had no intention of helping Manchester United, and a group of fans left the stands of the Emirates Stadium.
At this time, the referee's officiating style changed. In the first 70 minutes, he was calm and steady. I don't know if he was influenced by the fans at the scene or something. After giving a yellow card to Nasri who violated Manchester United midfielder No. 24 Fletcher, he began to favor the disadvantaged Arsenal.
The two commentators saw that the second half was going smoothly and thought it was going to end like this, but a foul by Fletcher in the Arsenal frontcourt perked them up.
"Fletcher brought down Fabregas in the penalty area!"
"The referee directly pulled out the red card! And signaled for a penalty kick!"
The message board was in an uproar.
Looking at Fletcher who walked off the court with a helpless look on his face, Ivan suddenly remembered what Rooney said in the group before the game when he was calling "Kneel down and call daddy": "Unless the referee goes crazy."
Fletcher is like, "I'll just watch you guys shoot." This time he really has to sit on the bench and watch his teammates shoot.
Rooney and his friends watched their friends leave the field with sadness.
The most terrifying thing is that Manchester United has basically qualified and Fletcher will miss the Champions League final.
Manchester United's midfield and defense were suddenly missing a key player.
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Fletcher didn't deserve the card. Although he just wanted to raise his leg to reach the ball flying to their side, he unexpectedly knocked down Fabregas. This action made the referee think that he hindered a threatening attack.
In this situation, it is normal to give a penalty, but a direct red card seems a bit too much.
Maybe the referee thought that Manchester United were leading 4-0 and should not attack so excessively.
Richard spoke up. He and Andy analyzed the foul from multiple angles, then kicked the ball to Ivan: "Isn't this red card a bit excessive? Ivan, you are the referee, we don't quite understand, should this red card be given?"
Ivan: “…”
It's really too much to ask a linesman about the referee's psychological activities.
Irwin said calmly, "Maybe the referee thought it was a dangerous move. Fletcher raised his legs a little high and it was in the penalty area."
He added modestly: "I'm just an assistant referee. I still have a lot to learn and I'm not sure."
Ivan's fans kept a note for Richard in their hearts.
Manchester United is short of a lot of people, which doesn't matter to Arsenal.
What matters is the penalty kick that now lies before them.
Van Persie stepped up.
He looked at the ball in front of him silently, waiting for the referee's whistle.
“Beep——”
Van Persie kept his composure, ran forward, and kicked the ball hard!
Andy: "Goal! Van Persie's ball went straight over the goal, the score is now 1-3!"
Van der Sar looked at Rooney expressionlessly.
#Didn’t you promise to help me win again in the second half? I just want to lean against the goalpost quietly.
Scoring a goal was somewhat better for Arsenal.
After all, with Sporting Lisbon losing 0-11 and Real Madrid losing 0-4, it was already very good for many teams in this Champions League not to be shutout.
Richard: "It's the 80th minute now, and the Champions League champion and runner-up are about to be decided. Chelsea is still leading Barcelona 1-0 on aggregate. Will the Champions League final become the main battlefield for Premier League teams?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the live broadcast room received another message from next door.
However, this news has nothing to do with the goal. Barcelona next door and Manchester United here are in the same boat. They both had a player sent off.
The two referees seemed to have made an appointment and issued red cards at almost the same time.
This is great news for Chelsea.
Ivan couldn't help but think of the chat in the group before the game again.
Is Rooney not allowed this time?
Scholes, who was sitting on the bench in this game, learned about the situation next door through the Manchester United assistant coach. He analyzed the situation calmly and felt that it would be best if Rooney's bad words did not come true.
There are still 10 minutes left. I hope Chelsea can eliminate Barcelona perfectly. Compared to Chelsea, Barcelona at its peak is more difficult to deal with, and they have a strong chance of winning six titles this season.
The message board was flooded with messages from Chelsea fans, with almost every Chelsea fan praying. After Chelsea scored a goal at the start of the game, just like Manchester United in the second half, they fell into a goal drought and failed to score any goal.
Barcelona was penalized, which is certainly a good thing, but having only one goal is obviously not safe.
The second leg will be at Chelsea's home ground. The two sides drew 0-0 in the first leg at Barcelona's home ground. At the moment, Chelsea seems to have a great chance, but once Barcelona scores a goal, Chelsea will be eliminated.
Because except for the final, the Champions League is a two-legged system with no overtime or penalty shootouts. Barcelona's goal was an away goal. When the two teams have the same goal difference, away goals have an advantage over home goals.
Chelsea fans are eagerly waiting.
Almost made it to the finals! They miss the Champions League every year, again! One step closer to the Champions League!
I wonder if Alvin will commentate on the Champions League final? He missed the Champions League final due to an accident, and he will never have the chance to experience the Champions League battlefield again!
We want to reach the finals and let Alvin watch us hold the trophy, so that he can feel the joy of winning the St. Bourlaine Cup in this alternative way!
Make up for last year’s regrets this year!
Ivan must be looking forward to it!
Time passes by every second.
Arsenal players became more and more angry and they frequently fouled Manchester United's offensive players in the penalty area.
Manchester United is now playing with 10 players, and the referee started to compensate Manchester United again, giving Arsenal yellow cards in various ways.
The final moments seemed like garbage time for both teams.
Over there, Chelsea and Barcelona are still nervous.
Barcelona did not give up and they were only one step away from the final.
As long as they reach the finals and win the championship, they will be one step closer to winning six championships! This is an honor that no team has ever won, not even Real Madrid!
In the live broadcast room, the director gestured to the small frame of the competition next door.
Alvin's attention slowly shifted as he paid attention to the situation in the small frame.
It's about to enter the overtime period.
The fourth official is confirming the extra time with the referee.
Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. He was not as excited as in previous games. Even when a player was sent off, he just held his forehead in frustration.
He looked resigned to his fate, but his eyes said otherwise.
He looked at the court with determination.
Tick, tick, the trajectory of the passing time seems to take shape, sounding heavily in the hearts of Chelsea and Barcelona fans.
Please!
Everyone was shouting silently.
Messi wiped his face, his hair wet with sweat.
Another attack.
He got the ball, but he was blocked. As a last resort, he used his last bit of strength to pass it to his teammate Iniesta.
The commentator in charge of explaining this game: "Messi! Messi passes the ball! Iniesta, shoot! The ball goes in! Oh my God! The ball goes in!!!"
Iniesta took off his jersey and rushed to the sideline!
Only then did Messi react and the ball went in!
In one second, from hell to heaven!
In one second, heaven fell into hell!
The two teams, which were in heaven and hell respectively, switched positions!
In the live broadcast room, Alvin closed his eyes and sighed silently.
Three minutes of black.
Praying that time would go by more slowly, I became a Chelsea fan.
In the stands, the little fan wearing the No. 29 jersey was crying loudly.
Drogba was panting, but he still accelerated with the ball, trying to turn the situation around.
He took a shot, but the last Barcelona defender in front of him turned and blocked it, and the ball hit the back of his upper arm.
Everyone's eyes lit up, handball!
The referee had just given Barcelona a red card. He thought he had done his best and that the Barcelona defender did not seem to have done it on purpose.
Richard said cautiously: "This ball, in slow motion replay, seems to be a handball?"
Ivan didn't say anything. When there was no slow motion, he saw the Barcelona defender raise his hand, horizontally. Although the amplitude was not large, it expanded the area of body contact horizontally.
Andy: “It’s hard to say. If the referee thinks it’s okay, then it’s okay.”
Richard sighed. He stopped making things difficult for Ivan. “This semi-final is, to some extent, shockingly similar.”
Ballack chased the referee in anger. He lost his mind and protested loudly, but the referee ignored him.
At the last moment, Cech ran up.
In the penalty area, 11 people V10 people.
But in the end, they still didn't score a goal.
The game is over.
Andy announced the final result: "Manchester United and Barcelona advanced and won tickets to the final in Rome. This is also a contest between Cristiano Ronaldo, the winner of the Ballon d'Or, and Messi, the winner of the Silver Ball."
This was before Ronaldo moved to La Liga and was officially compared with Messi.
This seems to be the beginning of the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo.
"Everyone tried their best, and all four teams were great." After the two commentators talked a lot, Ivan gave a brief evaluation.
He didn't read what was said on the message board.
There are countless strong people, but there is only one champion.
The live broadcast is over.
Andy stood up and stretched his body.
Ivan shook hands with them one by one.
Richard caught a glimpse of the small note on the table that had not been taken away, and suddenly said, "No."
"What's wrong?" Andy looked at him.
"The crease is wrong," Richard picked up the note with Barcelona written on it, "Look, isn't it different from the others?"
"It seems to be true." Andy raised it to his eyes and exclaimed.
The creases on the note with Barcelona written on it are much older than the others!
The two looked at Ivan.
The latter raised an eyebrow and smiled back at them.
"Is it you?" Richard looked at Ivan and suddenly felt that young people were formidable.
This time I am really convinced.
Boss, please accept my knees too.
The author has something to say: Ahhhhhh. Someone drew a Q version angel for me. I posted it on my Weibo. If you are interested, you can go and take a look. Weibo name is Green, White, Black and Cute
The ball was collected again, and the following text was changed
Bayern: We want all the good players in the Bundesliga. Give us a Julian? You don’t need anything else.
AC Milan: Damn, buying a goalkeeper is equivalent to buying a striker. Anyway, our defenders are reliable and we can afford to spend money! Bought it!
Real Madrid: We want those who are handsome, good at playing football and young... I heard that everyone thinks that only our goalkeeper is reliable? Well, then...what if we buy a goal striker?
Barcelona: Real Madrid wants it, and so do we.
Manchester United: Whether we buy it or not, we will raise the price first.
Chelsea: If Julian was there, we wouldn't lose the final!
Liverpool: Are so many teams interested? Sorry to bother you...
Arsenal: If we can’t afford it, let’s buy Ozil… Damn! Bought Ozil and gave Julian away? !
“Rather than joining a strong team, I would feel more accomplished if I beat them.”
"Goalkeepers are not as good as forwards at scoring goals? That's true for most goalkeepers."
"Have you ever thought about which team you would choose to stay in for a long time in the future? Well, probably the team with Mesut Ozil."
"My name is Julian Felix, they like to call me goalkeeper."
