FA Cup match day.
Liverpool.
Goodison Park.
As the home ground of Premier League powerhouse Everton.
Today, this stadium will witness a clash between two teams from different divisions!
According to the FA Cup rules.
Single-elimination matches before the semi-finals.
Will be held at a neutral venue.
Everton's home ground will serve as the battleground for both teams in this match!
Since the match is being played at a neutral venue.
Therefore, the fans present at this match can be roughly categorized into three types.
Firstly, Liverpool fans.
Although not on their home ground.
But it's still a stadium in the same city.
Therefore, a large number of Liverpool fans came to cheer.
Everton's home ground, which can accommodate 40,000 fans.
Has attracted over 20,000 Liverpool fans.
The second type is Blackburn fans.
Blackburn fans have also adjusted their mindset for this match.
The team's eight-game winning streak has already made them ecstatic.
One must know their limits.
Fans didn't have high hopes for this match.
They just hoped that if they lose to Liverpool, the defeat wouldn't be too humiliating.
Just play their own style!
The third category of fans are naturally Everton fans.
Because it's an FA Cup match held at their home stadium.
Everton fans also came to watch the excitement.
As for their city rivals Liverpool.
Everton fans are inclined to support Blackburn in this match.
Although they know in their hearts.
Blackburn has no chance of winning.
But there's always hope and wishful thinking, right?
There is still some time before the match starts.
The fans in the stadium have already taken their seats.
Interestingly.
The match hasn't even begun, and the verbal sparring among the fans in the stands has already started!
What's even more interesting is that.
The fans engaging in the verbal sparring.
Are not the two teams facing each other in this match.
But rather, the Liverpool and Everton fans!
As city rivals, both sets of fans can't stand to see each other anywhere!
Until the voice of the commentator appeared.
Both sides of the fans gradually stopped their verbal sparring.
Some fans immediately noticed.
The commentator's voice was very familiar.
"This commentator's voice sounds familiar! Could it be Martin Tyler?"
"That's right, it's the old man Martin!"
"I recognized it too! Today's commentator is Martin Tyler! I can't believe it!"
For English fans.
Martin Tyler is the ceiling of the football commentary world!
The globally popular football game "FIFA" series.
The English commentary in it is Martin Tyler's original voice!
The old man, now 70 years old.
Is still active in the top league commentary scene.
However, due to his age, his energy has declined.
The number of matches that Martin Tyler personally commentates on has gradually decreased.
For Premier League fans, it's one less match to listen to.
Therefore, from the past few seasons.
The number of matches that Martin Tyler commentates on.
Are mostly some classic city derbies, as well as key matches in major tournaments!
After all, the old man's energy is limited, those ordinary Premier League matches.
He basically wouldn't touch them!
This FA Cup match, surprisingly, has Martin Tyler's presence.
It really surprised the fans!
Because according to normal logic.
Martin Tyler should at least be commenting from the FA Cup semi-finals.
Is it because Liverpool is participating in this match?
That doesn't make sense either.
Because from this round onwards.
All the Premier League giants will be playing their FA Cup matches.
Martin Tyler has no reason to specifically choose Liverpool's match.
However, before the fans could be surprised for too long.
When Martin Tyler started introducing the commentator next to him.
The fans in the stadium were even more stunned!
"Hello everyone in the audience."
"Today's commentary for this match will be brought to you by myself, Martin Tyler!"
"The other guest joining me for commentary is a superstar well-known to all fans! David Beckham!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the fans in the stadium were shocked!
"What? Beckham is here too?!"
"No way, what's so important about today! Beckham is actually here?!"
"The commentator is Martin Tyler, the guest commentator is Beckham!"
"Wow, if you didn't say it, I would have thought this match was the FA Cup final!"
"Is today's match that important? Such a powerful commentary team! We feel like we've hit the jackpot!"
The fans were all speculating at this moment.
Why are these two key figures here to commentate on today's match!
As they engaged in conversation, the reason behind their presence left everyone astonished!
"Beckham, I heard from the officials that you actively applied to be a guest commentator for this match today?"
"That's right, I applied for it myself."
"After retiring two years ago, I became Manchester United's brand ambassador."
"I'm very interested in a player in this match!"
Upon hearing this, Martin Tyler also smiled.
"A player related to Manchester United?"
"I know who you're talking about, it's the Dragon Country prodigy, Long Fei, right!"
Beckham nodded in agreement.
Martin Tyler also smiled.
"To be honest, this match wasn't on my schedule."
"I applied to commentate on this match myself too."
"My reason is the same as yours, I'm also here for this Dragon Country prodigy!"
"Actually, besides commentating on top Premier League matches, I've always been paying attention to some young players in the Championship."
"They might be the stars of tomorrow."
"And this Dragon Country prodigy is a super rising star that you can't ignore in recent times!"
The conversation between the two directly shocked the fans in the stadium!
This lopsided FA Cup match.
Has attracted top commentator Martin Tyler and superstar David Beckham.
Their simultaneous appearance is extraordinary.
And the reason for their appearance.
Has nothing to do with the powerhouse team Liverpool in this match!
It's focused on a single player from the Championship!
A Championship player, such a big deal?!
