Chapter 441: The Referee's Request
With a strong cheering sound, Li Xuan and the other three referees quickly walked into the players' tunnel.
However, from the side around his head, there were still the reluctant screams of those female fans and fans at a relatively close distance, which was still crazy!
In the past, when Li Xuan was still young, he always had a huge fan base for other big stars, and these fans would do some enthusiastic stupid things around the stars, Li Xuan was still a little disdainful and secretly disdainful.
Now, it's his turn to experience this situation himself, and he also has an enthusiastic fan group, and he can't help but be a little happy, sure enough, people are all butts who decide their heads, and their status determines their ideas.
Fortunately, Li Xuan was still able to control his excitement and pride, so as not to let himself be too excited and proud, and still tried to maintain a calm state of mind in time at the scene. On the one hand, this is to allow yourself to exercise and improve in terms of mental control, and on the other hand, it is not to stimulate the referee next to him, who has already darkened his face, Andre Marriner.
However, Li Xuan didn't take the initiative to stimulate here, and a Chelsea player suddenly walked over from behind them, who was still the captain of Chelsea on the field, John Terry, but immediately greeted Li Xuan warmly and teased: "Hey, Li, your popularity is getting better and better now." On the football field, it is not easy to be a referee to your extent, and it is really enviable to have so many female fans and more fans to support you!"
Li Xuan was stunned at first when he heard this, and after confirming that he said such an inappropriate remark, it turned out to be Chelsea, who had also made a big mistake in front of women, and belonged to the same scandalous existence as Wang Laoji of Manchester United, and couldn't help but smile slightly in his heart.
"Hahaha, that's still the fans to give face, thinking that I'm more like an entertainment star, and I just have a sense of novelty for them, and there's nothing to envy. Actually, I envy you players even more, you can run at will in the top football competitions, but I can't do it, I really lack football talent. Li Xuan temporarily made a simple response without being able to confirm Terry's true intentions.
Anyway, Li Xuan has a good relationship with the Mrs. England group, and he also shows respect for Terry, the former England bigwig. Moreover, since Terry took the initiative to chat with him, he was more respectful on the surface, unlike Ashley Cole, who was also in the Chelsea team on the side, and walked over with a cold snort, obviously still holding a grudge against him.
"Yes, everyone has their own way of life, and there is no need for anyone to envy each other. It's just, Lee, I'd like to talk to you a little bit about some of the decisions in the first half. Sure enough, John Terry quickly shifted the conversation to the point.
Li Xuan glanced at the referee Andre Marriner beside him, and then pretended to be puzzled and said, "The referees are here, what do you want to say?"
Terry didn't pay much attention to the referee and the two linesmen, but still seemed to only say to Li Xuan alone: "Li, it's not the first time I've met you on the football field, and your reputation in the entire European football world is indeed very good." So, at the moment I want to talk about the on-field decision in the second half of the first half, when we have one more man at Chelsea. I felt that the referee, Mr Marriner, took too much care of Arsenal and was a little sympathetic to their numerical disadvantage and did not give us absolutely fair playing conditions for Chelsea. ”
John Terry is worthy of being the big man in English football, the captain of the England national team, even if he dares to say it, he is not afraid of offending the referee next to him, Andre Marriner.
However, he was so direct, which brought a little problem to Li Xuan, Li Xuan was unwilling to evaluate their previous work status in front of his referee partners, which was a professional taboo. Even if Li Xuan was indeed better than his partners, he could not directly explain and answer Terry's words in a timely manner.
So, Li Xuan glanced at Andre Marriner, who had already shifted his gaze to this side, and his face was becoming darker and darker, and said with a slight smile: "This question, you still have to further communicate with our referee Andre Marriner today, I am not the referee today, and I can't make a proper reply." ”
Li Xuan decisively kicked the ball to Andre Marriner's side, still taking care of his partner's face.
Andre Marriner's mood was obviously further affected, and then he said angrily to Terry: "You are questioning my professionalism and ability to judge, please come up with accurate evidence." Otherwise, I would have written your words in the referee's report after the match and complained to the FA. ”
Andrei Marriner was clearly already angry, and the words were all a bit harsh.
Terry glanced at it and quickly explained, "No, sir, I'm not questioning your abilities. I just don't think we can be too sympathetic to Arsenal who are one man less, and some of the penalties in the latter part of the first half are a little bit debatable. ”
"Hmph, I know what to do, every penalty has a standard, you just play your own game!" Andre Marriner had completely lost his patience, especially when he was already near the lounge, and he coldly dropped a sentence and dodged into the room.
Seeing this, Terry had no choice but to sigh helplessly and look at Li Xuan again.
Li Xuan was about to step into the referee's locker room, and his attitude towards Terry immediately replied with an knowing expression, and that was it.
In fact, Li Xuan understands very well that Terry deliberately said this sentence in front of the referees, especially in front of him, and the deep-seated purpose has been achieved. At least the referee and a few of them will not be so directly biased towards Arsenal in the second half, and he will bring more mental pressure to the referee Andre Marriner.
After stepping into the referee's exclusive locker room, Li Xuan and the two linesmen didn't have any additional ideas, but naturally ran to the side to rest first.
It's just that the referee Andre Marriner, who is still a little unhappy, sits down heavily, turns on the TV in the locker room, and habitually chooses to watch some of the highlights and video replays of the first half broadcast by the TV station, and is also ready to calm down his personal unhappiness.
So, Li Xuan took this opportunity to continue to communicate with Andre Marriner again about the wrong penalty in the first half.
In such a private break now, everyone is a peer, and there will be no loss of face to each other.
However, before Li Xuan could speak, Andre Marriner suddenly slapped the remote control on the table in front of him, and his whole body immediately bounced up like a conditioned reflex!
What's the matter, the unhappy mood before, is it going to explode completely?
Li Xuan thought suspiciously, and glanced at the TV screen with Andre Marriner's gaze, but quickly understood.
Finally, Andre Marriner didn't need to be reminded and saw directly the huge mistake he made in the first half.
"Oops, why am I looking at the wrong person?" said Andre Marriner, scratching his scalp with great confusion, and said to himself with great difficulty. Two eyes, I can't wait to stare at Chamberlain and Gibbs on the screen!
Li Xuan noticed his appearance, so he simply didn't need to say more, and stayed quietly to the side again, carefully arranging his shoelaces.
However, a moment later, Andre Marriner turned straight to him and said very seriously: "Lee, in the second half, you will replace me in the enforcement of the law, okay?" 10
