Two days before the start of the game, England's special correspondent entered the players' villa and followed and filmed the players' daily preparations.
Because the filming would be broadcast, the players did not conduct any team training, but just did some daily exercises that would not affect the tactical confidentiality.
Irwin and his temporary goalkeeper Joe Hart practiced free kicks. The young man is now quite good at saving the free kicks. He can save half of ten shots. People who don't watch carefully would think that Irwin's free kicks are very common.
However, the terrifying thing is that the amplitude of Irving's kicking movement and the landing point of the ball are almost consistent. The ball will fall wherever he points. Even so, Hart may not catch every ball.
Hart didn't get discouraged even after he fell, and continued training like this.
...The reporter and his camera witnessed together Alvin DeWitt, the free-kick maniac, and Hart, who looked miserable but with shining eyes.
"Can you show us your sleepy ball?" the reporter exclaimed, feeling like he had never seen the world before.
Ivan nodded and waved to Joe Hart, who immediately got up from the ground and bravely got ready to greet him.
“Bang!”
The ball flew out, the ball was perfect, and Joe Hart successfully became a background board.
The reporter thought that was the end of it, but Alvin took two more balls and kicked them out one by one.
Joe Hart finally caught the third ball thrown by Ivin. He picked up the ball and made a "yeah" gesture to the camera.
"Is the sleepy ball so easy to catch?" the reporter was surprised.
"A sleepy ball is also a free kick. You can catch it if you practice more." Alvin explained to him.
Reporter: "So how long did it take Hart to catch the ball after he started practicing?"
Ivan thought for a moment and said, "It won't be long. Let's start when we arrive in South Africa."
reporter:"……"
Irwin added: "It's more accurate to use data to speak, because there are always competitions, so we practice intermittently. Joe and I probably practiced like this 200 times, which is not a lot."
reporter:"……"
#Does this England substitute goalkeeper know that he was the first to catch Irvine's sleepy ball?
#Oh, it seems that Alvin didn't kick many times either.
Next came the training of physical strength. A row of England players wore sports vests and sat on the equipment to exercise. They all had good figures with broad shoulders and narrow waists.
The reporter asked Ivan with interest: "Your muscles seem to be more obvious?"
Hearing this, Ivan stopped what he was doing and glanced at the reporter and his camera. He seemed a little embarrassed, but also seemed to be doing it on purpose. He pursed his lips and smiled, "Really? Does it look good?"
reporter:"……"
#I am obviously a straight man, why do I feel like I am being teased!
The reporter replied dryly: "It looks good."
Ivan seemed to want to be naughty, he continued: "I've grown taller."
reporter:"……"
Reporter: "How high is it now?"
Ivan: "188."
The reporter recalled that when he and Ivan walked together, he only reached Ivan's neck: "..."
When it was time for rest and entertainment, Ivan and his teammates sat in the screening room to discuss what movie to watch today.
The reporter was curious: "Do you watch movies often?"
Rooney replied: "Not often, this is the first time we have been to the cinema since we arrived in South Africa."
Ivan continued in a friendly manner: "I don't know how to entertain you, why don't we sit down and watch a movie together."
The reporter was flattered and he took a picture of the movie name that the England players unanimously agreed on - "Sherlock Holmes" which was released last Christmas.
There is also a disco in the villa where the players can go to sing a few songs when they have nothing to do, so that they can vent their excess hormones after training.
Reporter: "Do you usually sing? Who sings the most?"
Rooney chuckled and suddenly played the song "Heroes" that he had recorded that day, which was sung by almost the entire team.
Rooney played a few clips in public, and the reporter's eyes lit up: "Can I have a copy of this? It's really exciting!"
This is enough to serve as a battle song for fans to cheer up the players! And these players sang very well.
Seeing Rooney's puffed cheeks, Irving knew that he wanted to enjoy the solo version by himself, so he suggested: "Why don't we ask a few people to sing a few lines together?"
The reporter felt a little regretful that he didn't bring a good recording device, but Lu Xiaopang finally gave him a copy of the song, so the reporter not only recorded the scene of Ivan and several teammates singing, but also got the complete England players' version of "Heroes" that Lu Xiaopang "reluctantly gave up".
After returning home, the reporter immediately gave it to his colleagues for editing, and the documentary was released the next day. The TV station had a very high viewership that day, and the background music "Heroes" suddenly became a popular song like "Football Comes Home", which spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Here’s how the fans reacted:
Oh wow, Britney Spears’ secret weapon, the sleepy ball, has appeared!
I played it back and forth many times, but still couldn't figure out how the sleepy ball was kicked!
If you could understand it, Alvin wouldn’t be the only one kicking like this now!
Damn, Hart is so awesome, he actually jumped out!
Hart has become the envy of all goalkeepers, and Ivan is teaching him for free throughout the whole process!
#Hart: Even if I don't get to play in the World Cup, I'll still make a lot of money.
The female fans responded like this:
From the moment I saw Alvin flexing his muscles, I finally realized that he has grown up and is now a man of his own standing... #Mixed emotions.
Continuing from above, I am about to be pushed by a pig...
I heard that the team’s locker room is a welfare for women, and so is the players’ gym!
Mom, this little sweetie flirted with me and asked me if his muscles looked good!
#A slight hardness shows respect.
When the documentary reached the second half, some fans immediately shared a tweet from the leading actors of Sherlock Holmes. Jude Law, who played Watson, happened to post on Twitter, congratulating the England team for advancing to the round of 16 and wishing England to go further.
The accompanying picture is a picture of Ivan and his teammates celebrating.
The protagonist of this picture is obviously Irving. The photographer particularly favors him and the camera is completely focused on his face.
Considering the tweet he sent not long ago to clarify his father-son relationship with Irving, fans said emmmmm.
Ivan and his teammates watched "Sherlock Holmes"! I picked this video at this critical juncture! What does he want to say?
Wow, I heard that Leo Bova, the Italian movie star whose life seems to be a cheat code, might be Ivan’s father? Jude Law is only one year younger than the Italian actor, so it's very possible that our Jude Law is also the same!
Qiuhua, don't be so quick to refuse. I can see that you admire Ivan very much. How about you two become father and son?
Leo Bova's vest has been completely removed. He is actually a legendary figure. He almost drowned when he was a child. In order to overcome his fear, he learned to swim. Unexpectedly, he became the 100-meter backstroke champion. At the age of 21, he joined the army and became a sniper in the Belsagori Regiment.
The Berzagoli Regiment is the Italian sharpshooter regiment, equivalent to the British Special Forces Air Service Regiment or the American Delta Force! It is one of the most elite troops in Italy!
Not only that, after retiring, he acted in a movie for fun, partnered with the most famous Italian female star, became an actor again, and later starred in many well-received movies, and it seems that he is still developing into a producer...
EXM? !
Where did this comparison come from? ! Swimming champion! True Legion Sniper! Famous Italian movie star! ?
Wait, I heard that some talents are hereditary. Think about our little Britney, who was discovered by then Chelsea coach Mourinho at the age of 18 and won the European Golden Boy Award in one year. Although he retired after encountering some unpleasant things, he soon came back to be a referee and then became qualified as the referee. That’s not all, he went to play in the World Cup while he was a referee...
Judging from England's current momentum, they will have no problem reaching the semi-finals at least.
It’s terrifying to think about it, could it really be Xiao Tiantian’s father? !
#A cheating dad, a cheating son!
Woohoo, if that’s true, hello to my future father-in-law!
The documentary isn't over yet. The entire documentary also shows all the goals scored by the England team so far, and the soundtrack uses the England players' version of "Heroes". Fans didn't realize anything at first, they just knew it wasn't sung by the original singer, until the last part of the documentary was released -
At the end, the video showed the chorus of Ivan and his teammates. The female fans were so dazzled by the benefit.
The song started with his teammates singing one line each, and the first line of the climax was sung by Ivan. When he took the microphone and walked up to sing this line, the fans were already ready to roar.
Ivan held the microphone with his eyes half-closed. His half-closed eyes were shining with a kind of indescribable laziness.
When it was his turn to sing, his beautiful voice seemed to contain a hint of hysteria.
"We are the irreplaceable heroes of this era!"
…
“Let me break out of my chrysalis and become a butterfly—wake up from my slumber and change the world!”
…
His beautiful lips opened and closed, as if he was whispering to his lover:
"I have never left your side. Even if you are lost, I will follow you closely -"
Ivan's singing is infused with emotion. Although he is not a professional singer, his nice voice makes the listeners think of his recent experiences and his life experiences in the past three years. That is more moving than the meaning of the song itself. The score of 8 can be increased to 10.
They are indeed the heroes of this era. Irving is just one of them. There are countless other players who have brought miracles to the world. They are either just beginning to show their potential or are at the end of their careers and are about to retire.
2010 was destined to be an extraordinary year. In addition to the World Cup that people talked about so much, many other things happened.
For example, Raul left Real Madrid, and there was news that Guti was about to leave Real Madrid.
There are always some people that people love but are gradually fading from people's sight, but no one can erase their existence. They are the heroes of the football world, irreplaceable heroes.
This song also became popular through the English players. Other teams also heard this song. Ronaldo learned about it through a chat with his teammates. After the training, he opened the resource alone like a thief and started playing Ivan's song on repeat.
That night, roommate Quaresma returned to the room and was about to take a shower when he found that the toilet paper in the bathroom was empty.
Quaresma:? ? ?
He shouted outside: "Cris? Please call the staff and tell them that we are out of tissues!"
He was still muttering: "Strange... I clearly put on a new roll of paper before leaving this morning..."
He called out again, "Cris? Did you hear that?"
The Portuguese captain's muffled response came from outside the door. He shrugged and didn't take it to heart.
…
Surrounded by such singing, the fans welcomed their quarter-final.
The author has something to say: emmmm good night
