Chapter 66: Arsene Wenger's Invitation
"Good ball, this time Arsenal's attack has formed a single knife, Rosicky successfully got the ball! By the way, is there any suspicion of offside in this goal? ”
Zhang Jun, an online sports commentator on the Huaxia side, discovered Arsenal's offensive form almost immediately, and then shouted out quickly and in time, "Look, the linesman Li Xuan who appeared at the bottom of the screen did not raise the flag." Yes, he didn't make any moves, the ball was not offside! ”
"Oops, the ball is in! Beautiful pick, the goalkeeper of Wigan Athletic had nothing to do, and Arsenal overtook again! ”
'It was a really up-and-down game and it was amazing that both teams were able to score in stoppage time! Arsenal fans, in particular, should have fully experienced the rollercoaster sensation just now. ”
Zhang Jun's quick explanation like a cannon seemed very excited, and with the process of scoring the goal, it could indeed make the Chinese fans quickly boil.
Inside the stadium, Rosicky was already celebrating wildly with his team-mates on Arsenal's side.
At this time, it was Wigan Athletic's turn to be dissatisfied, and several players immediately surrounded the referee Webber and complained to him that Rosicky should have been offside just now.
Of course, there are also Wigan Athletic players close to Li Xuan, who are also complaining to him about Arsenal's one-handed offside.
Li Xuan and referee Webber's subsequent reactions were similar, and they resolutely ignored them and maintained the effectiveness of the goal.
Rosicky just now, as soon as the ball came out from Arsenal's pass, the moment before his body started, he was actually on the same level as the last defender of Wigan Athletic's defense.
Therefore, Rosicky is not offside after receiving the ball, which Li Xuan can make accurate judgments even if he does not need the help of a magical replay in his mind.
The video broadcaster at the scene has always been well versed in the true psychology of the fans, so it is natural that the doubts of the fans will be the first time, and the evidence will be played through video playback technology for timely explanation.
Sure enough, the video confirmation was clear, at the moment when the Arsenal player passed the ball, Rosicky was not offside at all, it was a perfect anti-offside single knife!
Arsenal, fortunately, saved face and saved the team's fate of losing points through such a beautiful attack with a flash of inspiration.
Needless to say, Arsenal overtook the game, and there must have been countless fans who were either surprised or secretly sighed.
However, many British football professionals or interested fans can't help but secretly express continuous appreciation for Li Xuan's law enforcement level, and he has made the right penalty again!
Li Xuan's law enforcement of the Premier League this time is completely a temporary law enforcement, without any preparation and experience in advance, but he can still perform well three times and twice, and there is no mistake in the judgment, which is obviously a manifestation of strong ability!
More and more local audiences in Britain can't help but deeply remember Li Xuan, a young Chinese referee.
Mr. Wenger on the sidelines obviously jumped up happily again, and continued to signal the Arsenal players to strengthen their defense, and the voice of surprise with a little worry kept flashing in Li Xuan's ears.
Li Xuan stood on the sideline and smiled slightly, and was secretly happy that the Arsenal team could overtake.
As a professional referee, his work ethic allows him to be free from any partiality in the game. But now, while the Arsenal players celebrate their goals, he can barely loosen the strings and act as a fan for a moment.
However, it was only for a moment.
Soon, head coach Webb regained control of the game, allowing players from both sides to return to their respective positions as quickly as possible.
After all, there's still game time to go.
In the remaining time, Li Xuan's personal figure continued to appear in front of the fans a few times, but it was all about small fouls committed by players from both teams, or the Arsenal team's sideline attack consumed time and took him as a background.
These trivial and ordinary moments in the process of law enforcement, Li Xuan still worked hard to complete them very well, very seriously, and carried them out in full accordance with the referee's standards, without affecting the normal progress of the game in the slightest, that is, an ordinary sideline referee exists.
Finally, when referee Webber looked at the chronograph on his wrist several times in a row, just after the eleventh minute of stoppage time, he finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.
This twisty and bizarre, ups and downs of the event, then also drew a good end.
Li Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief immediately, not because he felt very tired, but because he was glad and proud that there was no mistake in the first time when he temporarily drove ducks to the shelves to enforce the Premier League, and he was able to successfully complete the task.
Immediately, he ran to the side of the referee, Webber, and stood with the other linesman, and the three of them were shaking hands with the players on both sides.
The game has officially ended, and the very professional players will come over one after another to shake hands with the referees.
Then, for Li Xuan, who was ordered in danger and performed perfectly, the players on both sides still gave a very surprised and respectful attitude today.
"Well done!"
"Great law enforcement!"
"I yelled at you in the game, don't you care. Your enforcement today really surprised our group of players! ”
……
The players still love it in private, they don't have the kind of hot temper on the court at all, and they are fresh and interesting about the process of Li Xuan standing up from the fans and directly enforcing the law.
However, Li Xuan took a closer look, and most of the players ran over to shake hands with them, but Van Persie, who ran to the side early in the morning, obviously still couldn't pull his face.
Li Xuan felt that he didn't have too much hatred with Fan Persie, but he couldn't understand the other party's behavior, so he had to ignore it first.
Referee Weber, after the players shook hands with Li Xuan on the field, he took the initiative to give Li Xuan a big hug.
"Even though I may be ridiculed by some special people in England, I still want to thank you, Lee, fortunately with you today, you successfully saved the game!"
"It's nothing, that's what a referee should do, it's just a pity for those two injured colleagues, I hope they're okay." Li Xuan has completed a very pleasant surprise law enforcement process, and his mind is much calmer at this time.
Webb nodded: "They should be fine, they are still sent to the hospital in time, and I will still go to the hospital to see them after taking a shower." ”
"As a courtesy, I should have visited them. But I'm with my parents and family, so I have to take a shower and talk to them. So, do you have any good ways to get my parents and relatives to be with me now? Li Xuan pointed to his family members near the stand with a little doubt, indicating where the relatives were.
At this time, the old acquaintance linesman also took the opportunity to pat Li Xuan's shoulder: "Don't worry, we can do this little thing." You let them come down and into our locker room, and there's no problem at all, they can just wait for us there. ”
"Well, that's fine."
Li Xuan said, and went to the front of the stadium passage with the two of them, intending to experience the locker room and bathroom environment of the Emirates Stadium.
Before that, he didn't forget to wave to the location of his parents and younger brother who had not left not far away, telling them to hurry down to the exit of the players' tunnel here, where he would wait for them.
In the stands, Li Xuan's family quickly understood what he meant, and hurriedly packed up their things and walked over to this side.
However, the middle-aged fan in the fan stands, who had been slightly suspicious of Li Xuan before, was also about to leave at this time, but he still couldn't help but solemnly say to Li Xuan's family: "Your family, that referee, he performed awesome at the level of law enforcement today, and I apologize for my suspicion of him before." I hope you will tell him and tell him that I appreciate him! ”
Li Xuan's family, with a smile, immediately said goodbye to the British fan who was successfully conquered by Li Xuan's performance, and quickly led to the entrance aisle below.
At this time, Li Xuan, who let the two referees go to the locker room first and chose to wait here near the exit, found that Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger did not leave, and deliberately walked towards him and took the initiative to hand out his right hand.
"Well done, I have great respect for your enforcement process on the field today!" Arsene Wenger said solemnly.
Li Xuanyi grabbed the old coach's hand and smiled politely: "Thank you, this is what a football referee should do." ”
"No, you walked down from the crowd and you did a great job, and I do have to apologize for some of the questioning behavior in the game." Arsene Wenger is looking very personable at this moment.
Li Xuan laughed again: "It's all for the game, I can understand it." And, Mr Arsene Wenger, I'll give you a little secret privately, I've always been a big fan of Arsenal. ”
"Really, God, this is amazing! Can I invite you to visit our Arsenal dressing room and memorial room? Arsene Wenger was excited.
"It's my pleasure, but I want to be with my family, okay?" As Li Xuan spoke, he waved his hand and shouted to the security guard in front of the family members who had already come down to the entrance of the passage, "I'm sorry, Mr. Security, that's my family!" ”
Seeing this, Wenger didn't think about it, and decisively shouted directly to the security guard: "It's okay, let them come down." ”
"Thank you!"
"No thanks, since you are our fan, then your family, of course, should be taken care of by us together. Let's go, introduce me to your family first, Lee! Wenger laughed.
Li Xuan was stunned: "You actually know my name?" ”
"I talked about last year's World Cup, how could I not know you, the former referee of the World Cup?" Wenger smiled slyly, and there was a look like an old naughty child.
