Chapter 12: Blowing off the goal

"Look, something seems wrong?"

"Hey, the referee has changed again!"

"That's ...... Ah, Li Xuan!"

……

Countless Chinese fans are actually staying up late to watch the final pinnacle of the World Cup, originally they were made drowsy by the slightly dull scene in the first half, and the halftime time will be even more boring and sleepy.

However, in the second half, the members of the referee team suddenly made their sleepiness swept away, and they became quite curious and even excited!

Li Xuan actually became a linesman, this is a pure Chinese, but he can participate in the green field one step closer than before, and continue to experience the World Cup finals in person, how is this not enviable!

Originally, according to the convention, before the winner was decided in the final, the closer to the end, the closer it was to the exciting decisive battle. Now they, the Chinese fans, can still look forward to the game while appreciating the faces from the Huaxia Kingdom to become linesmen and go on with the game.

At that moment, countless Chinese fans even had a sense of honor, and regarded Li Xuan as a special object that they could participate in the game.

Because Chinese football is so bad, whenever there is a big competition like the World Cup, most of the Chinese fans are helpless and forced to support different foreign teams, which is very schizophrenic.

Although fans can also enjoy some fun of football by being on a foreign team, most people will inevitably have some regrets in their hearts. If you can't witness the Chinese people with the same blood and spiritual beliefs appear on the great football field, normal Chinese people with a normal sense of identity will definitely sigh.

Therefore, even if Li Xuan only appeared on the World Cup stadium as a referee, it can be regarded as a little master-like participation of countless Chinese people. And these complex emotions prove that Li Xuan has been able to become more popular in China recently, and he also has a certain emotional foundation for fans.

The die-hard fans who cared about the progress of the game recognized Li Xuan's figure, and those professional commentators also noticed such a situation, and then coincidentally chose to continue to explain and introduce this surprise situation, so that more viewers who were purely just joining in the fun also learned about Li Xuan's new identity.

Obviously, the small episode of changing the linesman in the second half of the match added a new sense of anticipation to this much-anticipated and participated final.

However, at the moment, Li Xuan, who seems to be the protagonist in the hearts of countless fans, has no time to pay attention to the specific thoughts of the majority of fans and audiences.

When he took the initiative to stand on the sideline on one side of the court, he instantly entered the game state, and at that moment, he was the official linesman!

Li Xuan's personal personality is actually quite cheerful and generous, and occasionally he has a little sense of humor. But he has one thing that is more special, that is, whenever he enters the work state, he will deliberately make himself appear more stable, and he has learned to suppress all his sensitive, young, and normal thoughts that are not conducive to work, so as not to make himself appear too frivolous in the law enforcement field.

The broadcaster at the scene obviously understands the fans' minds very well, and deliberately left a big close-up for the new linesman Li Xuan who stayed on the sideline, wanting to capture the nervousness or excitement of participating in an event like the World Cup final for the first time from his young and handsome face.

Unfortunately, none of this, he only had a little confident smile, and a determined look!

Soon, when the Spanish and Dutch players reappeared on the football field, the second half of the game began immediately.

The referee Webber blew the whistle, and the players of the two teams began to run, Li Xuan held the small flag of law enforcement, and at the same time followed the position of the players in the field, and ran seriously.

At the beginning, the big guys still paid more attention to Li Xuan's personal specific law enforcement performance.

However, when the game quickly entered a rather exciting atmosphere. The majority of fans and spectators quickly completely put aside this thought and turned to seriously appreciate the real final scene.

Compared to the level of the first half, the two teams really launched a more real and fiery duel in the second half, and each worked hard to create more chances, which made the scene a lot smoother. It's just that both sides defended well enough that it didn't lead to a goal conceded.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the game went directly into more than eighty minutes later, so that countless fans didn't even react.

In the eighty-third minute of the game, in the face of the Spanish team's indiscriminate bombardment, the Dutch team suddenly seized an opportunity to counterattack, and the football was transferred to Robben's feet in time.

I saw Robben forcibly overtake, squeezed out the Spanish defenders Puyol and Pique who tried to trap him, and decisively wanted to complete the single knife with the ball.

However, the Spanish defender Puyol, who was passed by half of the position, was not reconciled, and he stumbled and chased after Rojen himself, not letting Robben get rid of it completely.

Then, Spain's goalkeeper Casillas also came on in time to confiscate the ball at Robben's feet early.

Robben's threatening attack this time ended in nothing!

But the moment he lost possession of the ball, Robben instantly became furious, and he frantically chased after the referee Webber, yelling in protest, saying that Puyol had fouled him.

Robben's anxious mentality is understandable, he has squandered a dangerous super one-on-one goal opportunity before, and his mentality is already a little unstable. And the game has come to this point, if he can give Puyol, who is already with a yellow card, another yellow card will help the Dutch team more.

Who knows, referee Webb's next penalty did not satisfy Robben, he not only shook his head, but also pointed to the side evidence that the linesman Li Xuan's position had just not had any flag-waving situation, proving that Puyol's action just now had little impact, Robben still had a chance to shoot, but the football was intercepted by Casillas in advance, and there was no foul.

Webber then gave Robben a yellow card for provoking the referee.

The offense and subsequent penalties that occurred in the field this time also immediately caused a rollercoaster ride to the mood of the majority of fans, so everyone must have their own subjective judgments, and it is inevitable that they will feel controversial.

But everyone did quickly find out that not only the referee Weber, but even Li Xuan, who has always maintained accurate penalties and zero mistakes, did not take the initiative to wave the flag, which shows that the matter should not be very controversial this time, so they simply chose to accept the on-field penalty this time.

Immediately afterwards, more fans who knew the ball suddenly seemed to think of something, and they all had a similar shock.

It was at this moment that they discovered that the game had been going on until now, and Li Xuan's linesman work was quite beautiful. Every time the choice was correct, there was no noisy and controversial decision-making, and there was always an effort to make the game flow, but the individual figure barely appeared on the camera screen.

Their group of fans almost forgot more observations and expectations of their law enforcement before, and this situation is really a reflection of Li Xuan's strong law enforcement level!

In fact, during the game, Li Xuan has always been committed to doing his best, maintaining a very high level of full attention, and grasping every detail and position on the court very well. Even if there is an occasional situation that is beyond his strength, the magical replay ability in his mind will be called by him as soon as possible to help him make the most accurate choice and judgment.

He was almost as flawless as he was in semi-stealth enforcement, and maintained this level until the 113th minute of extra time of the game, before finally reappearing in the eyes of the majority of fans due to a possible controversial penalty in the game.

This time, Li Xuan actually took the initiative to raise the flag in his hand, and directly and decisively blew away a goal of the Dutch team with the penalty of offside!
