Chapter 466: Hodgson with ulterior motives

As a so-called famous player in English football, Hodgson is known as a football coach, but in fact, he has not made any special achievements in his entire football coaching career.

On the contrary, in the process of some of his previous coaching, he often always provoked a lot of very targeted doubts, and rarely had smooth sailing and good results and brilliant results. His personal fame in English football is not mainly due to coaching ability and achievements, but more to rely on his long-term seniority and age, and some influence that he has barely mixed up.

But Hodgson just seemed quite confident, or rather self-righteous, and directly and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Xuan, the referee of the FA Cup final.

Moreover, even if even the opponent Hull City did not care about the referee selection at all, and even took the initiative to speak for Li Xuan, it still could not stop Hodgson from insisting on showing his personal strong opposition in public.

Not long before the game, he was still in the studio of the Premier League football live broadcast TV, as a football guest and commentary expert, once again fully expressed his dissent on the spot!

He insisted that it was inappropriate for Li Xuan, a young Chinese referee, to appear in the FA Cup final.

Moreover, he even believes that Li Xuan's personal refereeing level and law enforcement ability are not as perfect as the outside world boasts and promotes, and he really can't afford to have so many reputations and many important football finals today. The FA is a little too concerned about commercial value, and Shengsheng praises Li Xuan too highly.

In addition, in his opinion, Li Xuan is such a young referee, and there are some other identities that are not doing his job, in front of an actor, there is really no possibility of becoming a top-notch referee, let alone affecting the reputation of the English Centennial FA Cup final.

In the football broadcast room, which is almost a live broadcast, Mr. Hodgson doesn't seem to care at all about the dissatisfaction that may cause Li Xuan, and he still maintains his previous opinion very arbitrarily, and is very optimistic about Li Xuan, the referee, and even criticizes and questions the FA's various practices.

Since it was found that Hodgson was about to cause some controversy, but it was not such a bad situation, he resolutely did not stop it, and even deliberately guided and fueled the troubles, and further consulted and analyzed Li Xuan's referee qualifications.

Hodgson, the old man, is also very stubborn, and his thinking may have been relatively rigid, but he is happy to fall for this, and further specifically and specifically analyzed the many reasons why Li Xuan is not suitable to be the referee of this final, and how far Li Xuan is from the real top first-class referee, and then specially re-named some other local referees in the FA for their law enforcement level.

At the deliberate request of the host, he also deliberately boldly predicted that Li Xuan would inadvertently give the Arsenal team a caring penalty in this FA Finals game, and some slightly biased benefits. He said that this is human nature, and it belongs to the subconscious behavior in the bones. Li Xuan is so young, and he is even more prone to these similar scenes, and it is impossible to guarantee absolute fairness as advertised.

lest more fans not believe what he said, he even repeated it several times on the live TV show.

Li Xuan had naturally never offended Hodgson before, and now that he has entered the entertainment industry more and more successfully, Li Xuan is more cautious and will no longer pull hatred as easily as before.

Therefore, why does Hodgson disappreciate himself so much, even if Li Xuan is on the TV in the referee's locker room, and sees the live commentary before the start of this football game, there is no way to quickly figure out the reason.

Fortunately, Hodgson still had a little bit of sanity left, and he didn't force a direct and pure attack on him without a lower limit, and some of the comments were really ugly, but Li Xuan listened to it before preparing for the game, so it wasn't so embarrassing.

In Li Xuan's view, this Hodgson is really like a typical traditional British style of the older generation that is completely for the good of British football, but a bit xenophobic. It is only such a reason that can be reluctantly explained by the reason for his actions.

In fact, it wasn't until much later that Li Xuan finally really understood the reason why Hodgson deliberately and strongly showed his personal dissenting attitude like a cannon, made enough gimmicks to show off, and was dissatisfied with his appointment as the head referee of the FA Cup final and the excessive occupation of British referee resources. The main purpose was to gain more voice and influence on the side of the FA and the English Football Association, and to get some support in front of more English fans, so that he could qualify as the coach of the England national team, and at least have a chance to become a candidate.

This turned out to be just a self-propaganda method by Hodgson, and Li Xuan was just a suitable target to be used.

In fact, Li Xuan was quite open-minded Before this final game, he heard some Hodgson's dissatisfaction and objections to him on TV in the referee's locker room, but he was very indifferent. This immediately made Li Xuan's personal referee partners show great respect and admiration for him in person again.

Compared with Hodgson's unrealistic real-time comments, these are all British referees who have cooperated with Li Xuan several times, and obviously know Li Xuan's true law enforcement level and ability, and will still willingly fully cooperate with Li Xuan's new law enforcement work.

Of course, Li Xuan didn't have much time to continue to listen to Hodgson's nonsense and analysis of his incompetence as a football commentator. Soon, Li Xuan will have to work with the rest of his partners to officially go into battle to blow the penalty game.

Compared with those guests who rely on one mouth and easily sit in the broadcast room and talk nonsense with white teeth, Li Xuan will once again use the actual beautiful law enforcement actions on the field to prove the value and glory of his referee!

This is the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Hull City, so the whole Wembley Stadium has long been a sea of excitement again. The various ceremonial activities before the game, which was a rare top-level preparation for the year, fully made a crazy warm-up effect for this final. Even the beautiful FA Cup trophy has been placed on the side of the pitch, bringing a strong sense of excitement to everyone involved!

In the TV station, Hodgson unilaterally denied some of Li Xuan's explanations as a referee, and they are still continuing.

However, Li Xuan couldn't hear it anymore. At this moment, he quickly blew the whistle skillfully again, bringing this important FA Cup match into the right track, and he had no time to pay attention to those boring extraneous affairs!
