As soon as the referee Andre Marriner said this, not only Li Xuan was stunned, but even the two assistant referees around him also stopped their movements and looked at Andre Marriner together.

Which play is this playing?

In fact, when the referees are enforcing the law, unless the referee or the linesman encounters an injury or accident, there are very few cases where the fourth official is replaced to officiate the game.

Otherwise, Li Xuan's personal fame experience would not be so legendary, it is precisely because of the exceptionally rare scenes and very dramatic that his World Cup fame will always be talked about.

But now the referee Andre Marriner actually took the initiative to ask Li Xuan to replace him, and this scene is a little rarer!

Perhaps, this is also the step that Andre Marriner was embarrassed by his previous mistakes, so he found himself to go down.

Li Xuan does not have a particularly strong idea to act as the referee on the spot, otherwise he would have chosen to do so from the beginning, and the FA would have given him face.

The reason why he didn't ask for this was mainly because he couldn't adjust his physical condition, his mental state was average, and he also wanted to enjoy a wonderful football game purely up close.

But now, in the case that Arsenal has been sent off by one person, and two goals behind Chelsea, there will naturally be no big waves in this game.

In such a remnant game, Li Xuan didn't have much thought about enforcing the law in person.

What's more, Li Xuan always felt that Andre Marriner was just self-ashamed and looking for steps after making mistakes, and deep down he didn't want to give up the opportunity to continue officiating the game.

Moreover, Andre Marriner must also want to make up for his mistakes in the second half of the game and salvage his lost reputation and image. He took the initiative to invite Li Xuan to replace the law enforcement, which seemed to be more just verbal politeness, but in fact, he was not willing to Li Xuan to take the initiative to agree.

Also, some of the on-site cheers and welcomes that Li Xuan experienced before, as well as the active communication between Terry and others, all brought great pressure to Andre Marriner, making him actually very unhappy for a long time, and even more unwilling to directly see Li Xuan step on his failure to take over the law enforcement competition. He deliberately invited Li Xuan, but it was still more temptation than sincerity, and he wanted to show his generous attitude reluctantly while being unhappy, but instead put Li Xuan into a relatively unrighteous situation.

In addition, for Li Xuan personally, he is indeed not suitable to go up directly to enforce the competition. Because it does make his personal image, especially his work ethic, a little bit questionable. This is a game for Andre Marriner, and it is the task of the opponent, whether the opponent is right or wrong, Andre Marriner should be responsible for the whole thing.

If Li Xuan takes over halfway, maybe some people with ulterior motives will think that he is relying on the power to dominate others, disrupt the unity of work, and deliberately put more pressure on his work partner Andre Marriner, which is not in line with the work ethics of the workplace.

At the same time, Li Xuan is still a little bit in his heart, if he has been the fourth official, the turmoil and scandal caused by this game will not have any impact on him. But once he officially enters the field to enforce the law, then some bad impressions that belong to Andre Marriner may also be stained on him, which will affect his relatively perfect law enforcement image all along.

As a star referee who is no longer so simple, Li Xuan now obviously has to maintain his image, which is not only selfish, but also responsible for the praise of the first-class referee status that people have given him.

Therefore, almost after being stunned for a moment, Li Xuan immediately replied and refused: "No, you don't have to care about the voices and pressure of those fans, they are just watching the lively and random shouting." This game is played by you, then you should blow it from start to finish. Although your mistakes have become big mistakes, you should not escape such mistakes, but should try to make amends with your excellent performance. I can't officiate the game for you at all, it's a game for you, after all. ”

"Yes, you're right, I should continue to enforce the law, make up for the mistakes I made in the first half and prove myself again with a better performance. Andre Marriner's original attitude was still a little trembling, even if he seemed serious, some light flashed in the depths of his eyes, obviously wandering. And after hearing Li Xuan's direct refusal, the light in his eyes immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a relaxed state.

Obviously, Andre Marriner was well disguised, but deep down, he was really looking for a step for himself and just talking to Li Xuan, and he really didn't really want to give up the law enforcement power. Even, maybe for Li Xuan, he still has some unhappy opinions hidden in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Xuan secretly smiled again, and he also knew much about this partner's Xiao Jiujiu.

However, Li Xuan is more curious at this time about what Andre Marriner will do in the second half.

It's not an easy thing to prove yourself again and shake off that almost humiliating mistake in the first half. What's more, with the professional quality shown by Andre Marriner in the first half of the game, it is too difficult to make a reversal performance.

Of course, after thinking about it, Li Xuan still didn't take the initiative to show any disbelief, he only needed to do his simple job as a fourth official first, and the rest was not his concern.

In the final analysis, Andre Marriner and him are just colleagues on the field, and there is no special contact, so there is no need for him to think about and bother. Moreover, the other party didn't want him to help at all, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately tried to say anything just now.

André Marriner, who then fell back into silence, continued to meditate on the TV screen, which did not interrupt his train of thought, even if the commercial was soon shown on the TV screen. Obviously, he was really secretly thinking about the enforcement of the second half of the game.

The ten minutes of the intermission actually passed in a flash.

Li Xuan raised his hand to look at his watch, and reminded several of his work partners in time: "Let's go, it's time for the game." ”

However, just as Li Xuan was about to leave, Andre Marriner, who had been silent for a while, suddenly pulled out the yellow card in his pocket.

"Lee, wait, when we get back to the game, you give me a yellow card to punish me for my mistake in the first half. In this way, it is estimated that the audience will be able to accept it. With a deep face, Andre Marriner thought for a moment, the first thing to do was to change, and it turned out to be like this.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, took the yellow card casually, and didn't say anything more, but he was happy to do such a thing in his heart. 108
