Chapter 71



When he put down his phone, the "love essential oil" given to him by Ronaldo arrived.

Alvin took it out and looked at it. In fact, it had more than just hair growth effects, but had all kinds of effects. It was the same brand as the bottle of hair care oil I gave him last time, but this box given as a birthday gift was obviously more exquisite.

When he was about to take out the essential oil, he found a small bunch of keys lying in the exquisite box.

The key again?

Alvin picked up the key and his eyes fixed on the key ring.

It is the Ferrari logo.

He rubbed the key chain with his fingers, as if he understood something.

very good.

Hair oil is a Christmas gift, but the big deal is birthday gifts - which are probably car keys.

There is only a logo and I can't tell what model it is, but it is definitely of high quality.

Is Cris so nice to all his friends?

But if he was just given it alone, it would be something worth pondering.

He is a referee now, so the players who interact with him are sensible and will not give him anything too expensive or luxurious.

The Portuguese obviously also have this awareness. A small box of hair care oil is probably used to express creativity and deceive people at the same time.

He opened Twitter again and checked the updates of the players he followed, and found that there were no cars among the gifts they received.

Looking at the people the Portuguese was following one by one, there was no car as a gift for his new teammate.

As he was thinking this, he received a message on his phone.

Cris

—Do you like the gift? XD

Cris:

—This year's Champions League final will be held at the Bernabeu Stadium. If we can make it to the final, will you come to Spain to watch us play? I can reserve a ticket for you for the best seat.

Ivan typed a few words.

—By the way, my car?

Cris:

—Well, of course, by the way. The car was parked in my garage. I covered it with a dust sheet and waited for its owner to arrive at any time.

Cris:

—You’ll like it, super cool.

Ivan looked at the two lines of messages sent by the other party, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, he lowered his eyelids and replied:

—Okay, wait for me.

—Looking forward to seeing you in the finals.

There was silence for a while. When Ivan thought the chat was over and was about to put down his phone, Ronaldo replied with a hesitant message:

Cris:

—Don’t listen to their nonsense, what I gave you is not essential oil for hair growth.

—I won’t give you something useless. I’m sure you don’t need it!

Ivan raised his eyebrows. Why did he suddenly come to explain?

—It’s good. I like it.

Cris:

—Ah, that's good. But if you need it, I can give it to you to try next time. But I have no experience in hair growth, so I will refer to the standards of the royal family in your country:D

Alvin:? ? ?

Did this Portuguese guy read something weird on Twitter?

Mark was naturally aware of the turmoil on Twitter. When his agent called him, he seemed to be gloating: "Evan, do you know that just now, a hair care company in England came to you and they want you to endorse their products."

Ivan: “…”

The agent chose to hold back his laughter: "Of course, don't worry, I rejected them sternly. You, a person in your early 20s, endorse this kind of advertisement? It's really the funniest joke this Christmas."

Ivan: "I think you should have found an advertising endorsement that you think is suitable?"

Mark immediately got to the point: "Yes, there are several sports brands that want you to be their spokesperson. Nike is the most sincere among them. They want to make a splash on your referee uniform."

“Nike had good judgment,” he said. “They will be glad they did.”

In January, Irwin's application for national referee qualification was recommended and he was awaiting approval from the England Referees Committee.

In the words of his agent Mark, it was a sure win, because Ivan bypassed the local referee committee and directly attracted the attention of the national referee committee.

Because of this relationship, the committee's work arrangement for him was like a through train. In addition to working with Oliver as the fourth official in the past few months, Ivan also performed the low-level refereeing work excellently at a level that almost no new referee could do.

In early February 2010, when the Spring Festival was approaching in this great Eastern country far away in the other hemisphere, Irwin stepped into the English Championship and officially appeared in front of the live camera as the referee.

After careful consideration, Sky Sports specially appointed two famous Premier League commentators, Andy and Richard, to comment on this Championship match - for their absolute ratings.

"Dear viewers, welcome to watch the 0910 Championship League, Newcastle United at home against Preston. The referee of this game is a rising star in the refereeing world, Alvin Devitt...Okay, it looks like the message board has done more work before the game than we do." Andy smiled as he looked at the message board that was scrolling.

Richard: "Okay, except for the referee, the English sweetheart, the team in this game, Newcastle United, was just relegated last season and is now at the top of the Championship standings. If nothing unexpected happens, they will return to the Premier League next season under the leadership of the team's core player Alan Smith. Preston is ranked eleventh in the league points. This season they have 6 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses, which is a good result. Newcastle United, who are at home, should not be taken lightly."

The game was still in the preparation stage, so the two commentators started chatting.

Andy: "This year is the World Cup year. Congratulations to our Three Lions for successfully getting the ticket to South Africa and ranking in the top 32. England national team coach Capello is still investigating the local players of various teams. The final list has not been announced. In the recent Premier League games, the players have worked very hard."

Richard: "Yes. Owen moved to Manchester United at the beginning of this season, and Beckham returned to Europe from the Major League Soccer to maintain his form, hoping to get a chance to join the national team. Please forgive me for making such a point of view as an irrational fan. I hope to see them perform well in the World Cup."

"Last December, Messi won his first Ballon d'Or, beating out Kaka and Ronaldo, who were both very capable. So the three most competitive FIFA World Players won the Ballon d'Or in 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively."

The topic of the message board then deviated:

"World Cup in South Africa? No Britney Spears. So sad."

"Golden Globe Awards? It's sad without Britney Spears."

Rational fans said they were used to the existence of this group of fans who only care about appearances:

"Ivan's promotion is too fast. He is indeed a winner in life. He can officially become a referee less than two years after retiring."

"Although I'm not as excited as those female fans, I still want to imagine Irving refereeing the World Cup in South Africa. Hahaha, of course this is impossible."

"It's okay, I understand you, bro. Ivan is so cool at playing football. Ever since he became a referee, I don't scold referees as long as it's not excessive."

"I can't help but mention that Chelsea fans have never stopped scolding the bald referee in the last Champions League. Why don't they have your awareness? Hahaha."

"Was it the one where Ballack and Drogba lost their minds? The Stamford Bridge tragedy? I know the referee, his name is Tom Henning, but he did go a little too far."

Many fans are already ready to press the button to record animated pictures.

They looked at the computer screen expectantly, waiting for the game to begin.

The camera was pointed at the player tunnel in advance——

A familiar face appears.

Ahhhhh!

Sweetie is standing in the middle wearing referee uniform and holding a whistle!

The afternoon sun shone obliquely on his face, adding a touch of clear luster to his beautiful blue eyes.

There are galaxies in his eyes.

Behind Ivan were several assistant referees, but none of them were as tall as him, which further highlighted his long legs.

Los Angeles, USA.

The director crew of "Captain America" ​​had almost finished filming the script, and a member who liked watching football turned on the satellite TV during the break.

"Watching football when you have nothing to do?" Chris Evans finished a scene and was taking the towel and water handed over by his assistant. "Ah, there is the World Cup this year, I remembered."

"Yes," the man who was watching the game was so intent that he added a few words when someone mentioned his hobby. "Tsk, in this year's Confederations Cup final, the US team lost to Brazil 2-3... You may not have a sense of déjà vu when I say this. Let me describe it this way. The US team, which was not favored before the game, almost defeated the Brazilian team with Kaka as its absolute core!"

Evans heard him say that and turned his attention to the TV: "I heard that the Brazilian team is the favorite to win this year?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes stopped on the screen: "Are you watching... the Premier League?"

The people watching the game opened their eyes wide: "Premier League? Newcastle United... No, it's not, Newcastle was relegated, so this should be the Championship."

He said this with some lack of interest, saying that the Premier League was more interesting and had a faster pace.

"I think this game is worth watching," Evans smiled and pointed to the TV screen, "I saw a friend, you should know."

"Who?" The man obviously didn't notice. He turned his attention back to the TV, then opened his eyes wide, "Hey! Isn't this the one that the screenwriter and director are very optimistic about... Irvin DeWitt?"

The director heard his voice and came over. He looked at the figure in the TV close-up and nodded: "He looks like a famous person. The camera has been on him for so long... He changed his clothes and it really fits the temperament we want."

Johnston patted Evans on the shoulder and said, "Chris, you have a good eye."

He looked at the TV for a few more seconds and stroked his chin: "So, he should be free this year?"

The assistant director said, "I remember his agent said he was free this year."

Johnston nodded. "Yes, the World Cup is about to start. By summer, most people will have free time."

Let’s return to St. James’ Park.

The Magpies fans were cheering, as their good results this season gave them hope of returning to the Premier League next season. Everyone's face was filled with joy.

In the player tunnel, Ivan and Alan Smith met.

This midfielder wearing Newcastle's No. 17 jersey has a neat Mohawk and his golden hair is as dazzling as before.

His face is still smooth and his eyes are full of fighting spirit. It seems that he looks like the same photo as when he first stepped onto Old Trafford stadium a long time ago. But if you look closely, you can see that he has lost some of his youthful agility and has more restraint after going through some ups and downs.

After several months of recuperation, he returned to the team. Owen had left and the old captain Nicky Butt was on the verge of retirement. He was the next Newcastle captain and it could be said that he had shouldered the heavy responsibility of Newcastle's promotion to the Premier League.

The players from both sides shook hands.

The players on both sides of the match had more or less heard of the referee's reputation, but not because of how experienced he was, nor because of how intimidating his refereeing career was.

It’s all because I’ve heard of him before I’ve seen him in person - hey, man, if you haven’t heard of him these days, you’re really out of date, unless you don’t use Twitter.

He is a very awesome person who makes a living by being on the trending searches!

They looked at Ivan with an almost reverent and wary gaze.

Newcastle was relegated to the Championship and there were a lot of die-hard fans who came to watch the game, and the stadium was packed. Even the neutral stands were not spared and were packed.

But today, a different group of fans mixed into the neutral stands. They weren't wearing Magpies jerseys, nor were they wearing the away team's jerseys.

——On the neutral stands, there were young people sitting, led by a group of beautiful young girls, with quite a few boys in the mix.

They did not have a fixed team uniform. In order to show their unity as an organization, they painted all kinds of Ivan-related symbols on their faces, arms, and any exposed skin.

For example, his initials, or a small referee's jersey pattern or a whistle pattern.

The camera passed by and the commentator was silent.

Andy organized his words: "Well, there are some different fans sitting in the stands. They are probably here to... cheer for the referee."

Message board: "..."

Can you speak?

Cheer for the referee? What are you cheering for? Come on, do you want to take out your cards?

The fans who had just finished complaining were caught in a strange dilemma again.

...Don’t mention it, they really want to go to the scene to cheer, but unfortunately they can’t buy tickets or the conditions don’t allow it.

The author has something to say: Alanlanlanlan is here

I feel like I’m super awesome, just in time for Christmas. Merry Christmas my little angels~

And the little angel who had the same birthday as Ivan a few days ago, happy birthday~~

Hahahaha, your comments shocked me!

To be honest, according to your ideas,

Ivan's father is a domineering president.

Ivan's mom is a domineering president.

Girlfriend... Bah, boyfriend, and a domineering CEO,

So, only Alvin was responsible for being the quiet little sweetheart.

Ivan: No, I choose to remain expressionless.
