Prieto is a football referee who has recently been trained by the Spanish Football Federation. He has a pair of vicious eyes and is always able to make judgments very calmly. He is only in his early thirties, but he has already officiated the Spanish Super Cup between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

That's right, the same city derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at home at the beginning of the season!

When Prieto was in his twenties, he was a player in the Spanish Primera D. At that time, he had many heroic deeds.

For example, with their club teammates, they stripped naked in the dressing room, each covered their "key parts" with a sign with their bank card account number, and took photos and uploaded them to their social media pages to get their meagre ...... Fans support them monetarily.

Regardless of the location, the difference in pay between players who play in different leagues is geometric.

When the players in the five major leagues have fragrant cars and mansions and blonde beauties, they may be a little stretched to maintain even the most ordinary life.

But even if that were the case, they still had to deal with the catastrophic problem of being owed wages by the club.

In order to get paid, many times they have to do a lot of very imaginative things.

For example, after the start of the game, no matter how the opponent reverted the ball or attacked, he just stood there like a sculpture and used it to express his silent protest against the non-payment of wages by the club's top management.

Another example is reaching a tacit agreement with their fans and then putting up banners in their stadiums demanding that the club's top management pay back their salary arrears.

Like so many players who struggled at the bottom of the football world with little talent, Prieto always had a big dream in his heart. Someday, he'll be able to get a glimpse of a first-division manager and go play in the first-division. But his girlfriend's pregnancy changed this. His girlfriend wasn't pretty, but she was fine, and they loved each other very much.

When his girlfriend's parents objected to the birth of their child because of his profession, he knelt in front of his girlfriend's father, crying and promising that he would work hard to earn money for their children.

In this way, he went to a course to train football referees and changed from a D League player to a football referee.

So, you think this is the sad story of a low-level player?

No, on the contrary, it's an unimaginable, inspirational story of a winner in life!!

"What do you say? You're worried that the No. 5 on your opponent's team will make an immoral foul move on your leading forward, so I'm sure I'll keep an eye on him? Oh no, you must be thinking too much, according to our numbers, your team's leading striker is very 'smart', and his average number of fake falls per game is ......"

"Don't smile at me, sir, I saw that you had a bright spike to the fallen shoe next to you before you fell, so I have to give you a red card."

"You've already had two fouls today. If there is another time, I promise to show you a yellow card or a red card, please don't take my warning as a joke. Also, please be strict. ”

"Listen, Milan Pique, don't, touch me. Don't come to my shoulder, don't touch my waist, don't put your hand on my ass. Shares! ”

"You said you were going to the Football Association to complain to me? Welcome, but that was also after the game. Now, go to the stand, I've given you a red card, you have to leave the coaching staff and don't try to provoke the referee, that kind of move is stupid in my opinion. ”

Sarcastic about the coach of the big team!!

Ironically worth tens of millions of euros!!

was deliberately flattered by a world-class striker, no matter how noble and glamorous the star took his hand away, the other party still refused to let go, and showed him goodwill without face!!

Is this what a player struggling in the D League can get!!

Many world-class players he thought he would never see up close in his life! He's running with them in official competitions right now!! Many world-famous professors who used to waste their time even looking at themselves now have to try to talk to him cordially and cordially, even if he only gave the other party a look in the face when they met before!

So, just look at the world from a different perspective!

You'll find out how wrong you were before!!

Of course...... Being a football referee is not a hassle......

For example......

"Oh my God, Prieto! How are you getting wet! What's going on? ”

"Ahem...... Ahem, I met some ...... on the way here Ahem, fans. ”

"Real Madrid fans? Valencia fans? Spanish? Levante? Valladolid? Or Real Betis? ”

“…………”

"Barcelona? Osulena? Man, it can't be Atletico Madrid, right? You're the referee for their match against Villarreal today! Referee! ”

"Hmm...... I think it could be the Ludogorets fans who came from Bulgaria and I know their shirts. I was last week...... Officiated one of their Europa League matches. ”

"They...... Specially coming from Bulgaria? Just to splash you with a basin of water? ”

"No, they're using pressurized water guns. But I escaped quickly. I'm going to complain to them in the UEF. After this game, go and complain. ”

After showering in the referee's locker room and changing into dry clothes, Prieto, the referee of the game, finally walked into the tunnel with his colleagues and several linesmen of the match.

And they came out almost at the same time, as well as the two sides of this game, the quarterfinals of this season's European Champions Cup, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal, who are "by no means underdogs".

Before the start of the game, the captains of both teams came over to shake hands with Prieto, and the Spanish Football Federation's key training target, who had to cut off his long hair for his football refereeing career, greeted the captains with a dead face and a smile.

"The referee...... He looks so familiar! ”

Long and short legs, who had just come out of the dressing room of the away players, saw the referee who was shaking hands with the captains of the two teams and talking about some innocuous topics, and said this sentence in hindsight. Then, Tony, who was walking behind him, smiled and said, "Do you remember him?" It was he who officiated at the start of the season for our Super Cup match against Real Madrid. His eyes are poisonous. ”

"Ahh I remember! It's the one who scared Real Madrid's assistant coach! He's got a lot of momentum! Yulan said that every time I saw him, I felt bitter! ”

The long and short legs that were walking out with their club teammates said this, but before they said this, the long and short legs, who had wild instincts for many things, suddenly felt some kind of ...... from the referee Prieto Energy?

Long and short legs were taken aback and turned their heads to look there, only to see that Prieto, who always had a dead face during the game, actually smiled at him and winked!!

Seeing this scene, the long and short legs suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his experienced Youlan senior very nervously.

"You, Yulan! You said what if you saw the referee smiling at you before the game! ”

Rough striker Yolandal, who was taller than Enzo, faced with his long and short legs, who stood close to him and was much shorter than him, lowered his body and said: "Generally speaking, this is nothing surprising, after all, the referee is not our class enemy. But if it's the guy who officiated our game today. ”

Long and short legs: "He ...... What happened to him? ”

Yolandal: "He's going to have to be careful, because that guy is a pervert, and no one in his right mind can understand what's going on in his mind." None of the fans liked him, although it showed that his decision was really fair. However, his temper is not good, and he has been a very famous dealer in recent years. Do you know Milan Pique? He's got two red cards, one more than me. ”

Long and short legs: "Okay, it seems to be very powerful......"

"Wait, he just smiled at you?" The Irish striker, who never spoke loudly and seemed "sweet" because of his slow speech and softness in his pronunciation, suddenly reacted, and after getting an answer by observing the expression of his long and short legs, he was silent for two seconds, and then made a very decisive judgment.

"Leiy, stay away from me today."

Long and short legs: ".................."

At this time, Enzo, who had finished talking to Villarreal's captain and the referee, returned to their team, and the long and short legs that Yolandal's predecessors, who had taught him fake wrestling skills and a lot of life principles, were in a hurry, but the Irish striker was clearly avoiding him, so the long and short legs could only cut into the line and walked behind Enzo, and pulled the corner of his captain's clothes with apprehension.

As soon as he pulled like this, his long and short legs blushed at his childish actions, and he hurriedly let go of his hand.

But by this time, Enzo had already felt the person standing behind him pull his clothes very lightly, so he turned his head and saw long and short legs with an embarrassed face. Enzo smiled, hooked his neck around the long and short legs, and rubbed the other's hair.

"Are you nervous, Leiy? I beg your pardon, I didn't mean to laugh at you, it's just so uncommon. ”

"I ...... I just saw that our referee today was a little nervous...... I've heard he's given a red card to Yolan and two red cards to Milan Pique. ”

Hearing this answer, Enzo glanced at where the referee team was, laughed and patted the shoulder of the long and short legs, and said, "Don't worry, Leiy." You're certainly not the kind of striker who gets a red card easily. ”

Before he said this, Enzo seemed to remember something, narrowed his eyes and said to Lei Yi: "Recently, you and Youlan have always sneakily gotten together to practice some innocuous little tricks? ”

Hearing this, the long and short legs straightened nervously. So Enzo, who understood the answer, felt very weak and sighed and said, "Don't fake a fall today, you know?" I don't think there is a single person on our team who can hide the eyes of Prieto, who is the referee of our game today. He may have looked a little older than me, but his eyes were notoriously poisonous. And he's also notoriously hard at talking, you know? I don't want you to be 18 years old and be on the red card list of La Liga goalscorers. ”

It was at this time that the referees, as well as the two participating teams, began to enter Villarreal's home stadium, the Stadium of Love Songs.

Bright yellow has always been a very aggressive color of the jersey.

And that's also the colour of Villarreal's home kit.

When the two teams stepped into the 25,000-seat stadium, the fans in the audience did their best to welcome them.

And before the game, the young man who asked Lei Yi if he was nervous and wore the armband of the Atletico Madrid captain on his shoulder was actually a little nervous when he entered this small but delicate stadium. His gaze swept to the side of the audience facing the players' tunnel, and he was looking for a familiar figure in the crowd.

A figure who would always come to the Real Madrid Academy every weekend to watch him play when he was younger.

Enzo, who was looking for the figure in the crowd, was even a little anxious, he needed to find his father, the golden wolf Guti, before the match began.

"What are you looking for, Enzo?"

Even Thunder Wing could feel his anxiety and nervousness, and just as Enzo was about to bow his head and say something to Long Legs, he found the man in the crowd. The man, as he had promised the day before, had arrived at Villarreal's Love Song Stadium and was sitting not far from the players' tunnel. It's not a good location to get tickets a day in advance.

At this moment, the golden wolf showed a charming smile with encouragement and expectation to his son, as in the past.

So the young man with the armband of the Atletico Madrid captain on his shoulder said to the long and short leg next to him: "I think, I have found it." ”
