"Woo-woo-woo-woo!"

On June 21, 2010, at the southern tip of the African continent, located in the stadium of Football City in Johannesburg, South Africa, the atmosphere was warm and lively!

In the almost filled stadium of the World Cup, a large number of local fans are playing a musical instrument called vuvuzula unique to the African continent to cheer for the Ivorian team, which is also an African team, and the momentum even completely overshadows their opponents in this competition, one of the hegemons of world football - the fans of five-star Brazil!

Football matches, especially the World Cup, one of the world's top competitions, are truly adrenaline-pumping, blood-pumping, energetic, and selfless, and indeed worthy of being the world's most popular sport, especially the strong live atmosphere can easily infect everything!

At this time, Li Xuan, who was standing on the sidelines and closer to the scene than the fans, felt that he could also participate in it and become a part of this event, but it also lived up to his hard work and great love for football for so many years.

Of course, Li Xuan is not a professional football player, his football talent is really average, except for being able to run, he has no characteristics and potential at all, and he has been declared to be a professional football player at a very young age.

It's just that he is fortunate that he has no talent and can't become a professional footballer, otherwise with the chaos of Chinese football over the years, the best years of his life will definitely not have anything to do with top events such as the World Cup.

In fact, in this World Cup in South Africa, Li Xuan was able to participate in this event as an international football assistant referee. He is the youngest referee law enforcement officer in this tournament, and he is also the only referee from Huaxia among the members of the World Cup referee team.

This kind of identity, although different, is also another way for him to be involved in football, and he really enjoys it. Right now, the match between Brazil and Ivory Coast is being played in this field, and as the fourth official at the scene of this competition, he is participating in the World Cup at such an extremely close distance, which makes countless fans excited.

Watching a World Cup match and participating in a World Cup match are really different!

Li Xuan sighed and compared this game with some of the games he had previously enforced, while carefully recording some of the things that happened at the game site, and working hard to prepare for the event report, his mood was still a little excited and complicated.

……

"Hey, that's a foul, an extremely obvious foul!"

Suddenly, on the side of the technical zone, on the bench of the Brazilian team, their head coach Dunga, suddenly jumped up from the coach's bench and rushed to the sideline to yell at the referee Stephen Lannoy, who was enforcing the law on the field, expressing his dissatisfaction with the decision just made on the field.

Seeing that the excited Deng was about to rush into the field line, Li Xuan shook his head and smiled, quickly shook off some inappropriate distractions in his mind, and immediately rushed over, first covering the microphone on the side of the earphone, and then stopped Dunga: "Don't get excited, sir!"

Li Xuan's English was very standard, very clear, and very indifferent, and Deng Jia heard it at the first time.

Maybe he felt that Li Xuan was too young and handsome, not at all like a normal referee fourth official, or he was too angry about the penalty on the field just now, although Dunga did not continue to enter the sideline of the field, he approached Li Xuan and complained loudly to him: "You immediately tell the referee that it was our corner kick, and the Ivorians touched it!"

"Listen to the referee, he's closer than us!" Li Xuan kept shaking his head at Dunga, still looking calm.

Dunga wanted to continue to say something, but Li Xuan took a few steps back and ignored it.

Dunga's temper is really not very good, obviously the team is already ahead, but he is still very impatient. On the other side of the coach's bench, the Ivorian coach was sitting there quietly, silent, only his assistant coach was a little anxious, signaling a few warm-up players to act big and not completely stand on the sidelines to watch the game.

However, the second half of the game has only just begun, and the Brazilian team is currently only 1-0 ahead, and the situation behind is still difficult to predict, and it is normal for the managers on both sides to react inconsistently.

Li Xuan found that Dunga didn't make any more trouble, so he stood back in his position in the technical area, and continued to collect and observe the various processes of the game, and by the way, he pressed his personal excitement that had not completely subsided.

"Di-!"

Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded from the live game, and the referee directly stopped the game without any dismissal from both teams, which also interrupted Li Xuan's attention.

Looking at the scene, Li Xuan immediately found a scene that surprised him very much - the referee Stephen Lannoy was lying on the ground at the moment, holding his thighs in some pain!

"What's the situation?"

Li Xuan subconsciously asked the referee who fell to the ground through the headphones connected by the two sides for the first time.

"Well-hiss-it hurts, I think it's a thigh!" the referee said intermittently in a rather painful voice.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Then I signaled the team doctor to enter?"

Live games, after all, are based on the referee's decision, and even if Li Xuan wants to help the referee, he will not go without the permission of the other party.

The referee then snorted and replied: "Okay, let the team doctor come and take a look at me, I think the injury is not light--hiss! Also, you warm up first, I may not be able to hold on!"

After getting the referee's consent, Li Xuan immediately stretched out his hand to signal the two team doctors on the sidelines to come on the field to help the referee who was already lying on the ground.

The team doctor of the Brazilian team, after being greeted by Li Xuan, rushed to the field as soon as possible, and the team doctor of Côte d'Ivoire followed suit.

The game was forced to be interrupted, the players in the field were inevitably a little surprised, and the fans on the scene became even more confused, and for a while all eyes were almost focused on the referee who fell on the grass.

At the same time, Li Xuan was not in the mood to join in the excitement, but immediately ran to the warm-up area on the side with a surging excitement and began a tense but exciting warm-up.

"I might have the opportunity to play a game, this is the World Cup, such a great event, I may also be the referee, it's great!" Li Xuan was really excited, and the anticipation in his heart was instantly a little irrepressible.

Although he knew that he should not be too happy, after all, the referee was unlucky to be injured.

However, he just couldn't hold back the strong joy in his heart. The fourth official is still much inferior to the referee who controls the whole game. After so many years of hard work and hard work, the baptism of many large and small competitions, isn't it to participate in and control such a great stage?

The fans at the scene were extremely surprised by such an accident that suddenly appeared during the game, but after figuring out the situation, they couldn't help but be very excited. Such a scene is only encountered once in a long time, but now it has been witnessed by everyone, and it can be regarded as a moment to witness a miracle.

As a result, the scene suddenly sounded more enthusiastic applause and applause, on the one hand, to express sympathy for the referee, and on the other hand, to look forward to changing the referee to get some freshness.

It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, which is basically the common character of many people.

Even the substitute warm-up players on both sides of the field were full of excitement and even joked about Li Xuan, the fourth official, suddenly participating in the same warm-up activities as them.

"Hey, sir, don't foul me later!"

"I didn't expect you to be the first person to come on as a substitute in this game. ”

"Mr. Referee, are you mentally prepared to be substituted?"

……

Li Xuan didn't make any answer to the various ridicules of the warm-up players, just smiled slightly, warmed up seriously, and moved his body a little nervously.

However, after emergency treatment with the help of the team doctors of both teams, referee Stephen Lannoy gradually got back to his feet. He waited until the team doctor came off the field, signaled to all the players on the field who were taking the opportunity to rest, blew the whistle, and the game continued again!

Referee, it seems that there is no problem!
