Chapter 130: AFC Champions League
Over the past period of time, Li Xuan's personal career has almost changed by leaps and bounds.
Although he has been working in the league as a football referee, he has not yet gotten rid of the K-League law enforcement category due to the fact that he has to conduct a season review.
However, he has officiated a number of important international A-level events in a row, and has also been assigned to officiate the AFC Champions League, which obviously allows his law enforcement career to continue to maintain a steady pace.
And his development and progress in the entertainment industry, as well as the degree of development of personal business affairs, are even more exciting!
During this time, he achieved various new results personally, which allowed him to quickly move from his previous average rookie form to a fairly good situation. Not only has he been able to smoothly integrate into the entertainment industry, but he has also achieved more than ever a real income!
Therefore, Li Xuan's personal mental state and fighting spirit will only get better and better, but he will not feel irritated and disappointed at all because he crosses the border to do different things.
It can be said that his cross-border career in the entertainment industry is now gradually on the right track, and it is no longer like before, a grass team that may be broken at any time, or a flash in the pan!
However, in the second half of 2011, Li Xuan was more important due to the gradual entry into the late stage of the Korean K-League schedule, and the upcoming Women's World Cup law enforcement invitation to do, as well as the increasing number of his work in the AFC Champions League finals.
Therefore, he still did not strike while the iron was hot for the time being, and did not take advantage of the good response to continue to carry out a large number of crazy work in the entertainment industry, or maintained the relatively high-end boutique route since the beginning.
And, no matter what, football is still his preferred career, and he will not choose to give up the opportunity to officiate important events.
In fact, when it comes to Li Xuan's football work in the second half of the year. Among them, he was most interested in some matches from the AFC Champions League.
Li Xuan has basically understood and dabbled in all kinds of football events in Asia, and most of the events he has experienced are not too important.
Unless it's the Asian Cup, the World Cup qualifiers. Or the AFC Champions League, which may have some quality at all, and it should barely be said to be the top competition in the Asian region.
Therefore, Li Xuan has rarely maintained a very good attitude towards the direct competition between the top clubs of various countries in Asia.
He would like to know how far the average level of Asia's top clubs will be from the quality of the European giants in the Champions League. After all, sooner or later, he is the man who will officiate the Champions League matches, so he naturally plans to experience more Asian AFC Champions League events to make a preliminary comparison and psychological preparation.
It's not that he has to deliberately confuse two matches that are not on the same level at all. He still has the fresh mentality that he has never experienced the Champions League as a Chinese referee, and wants to really feel the gap between the two sides clearly in the future, and then compare the gap with the national team!
Therefore, Li Xuan paid a little more attention to the AFC Champions League arranged for him by the AFC.
And the AFC Champions League tasks assigned to him by the AFC are actually relatively important events, or even strong dialogues, which can't help but make him feel more gratified.
Of course. The reason why this is the case is mainly due to the former president of the AFC, Hamann. Recently, it was confirmed that we were pronounced a death sentence in the soccer world. Then Hammam's previous series of personal problems have now been completely banned from participating in football for life by FIFA and has been "grounded".
This also led to the power of the AFC being held by Zhang Jinlong, the first vice president. In addition, Zhang Jinlong seems to have begun to supervise the work of the referees.
Li Xuan, as Zhang Jinlong's compatriot, was able to get a little bit of a good AFC Champions League game to enforce the law. There's nothing wrong with that!
In fact, when it comes to the AFC, Li Xuan personally expects Zhang Jinlong to take off the identity of "acting president of the AFC" in front of him and replace it with the official number one position.
In this way, Li Xuan will have all kinds of troubles within the AFC in the future. It should be less, and there may be further conveniences.
After all, the AFC, which has been controlled by those regions in West Asia for a long time, has really created too many difficulties and restrictions for Chinese football participants. As one of the representatives of Chinese football, Li Xuan definitely hopes to be able to turn over and sing as soon as possible, and go back and return all the bad experiences in the past.
It's just a pity that at present, the Chinese Football Federation does not seem to have officially publicly supported Zhang Jinlong's future campaign plan.
Regarding the specific entanglement between the Football Association and Zhang Jinlong, Li Xuan did not intend to touch and understand it at all. Although he does have a somewhat concerned mentality, he is more concerned about the law enforcement process of his AFC Champions League match.
However, when Li Xuan was officiating the important knockout matches of the AFC Champions League in a row, he suddenly found another problem!
That is, most of the club teams that are in full swing in the AFC Champions League are still from Japan and South Korea, or teams from West Asia. Among them, there are basically no clubs from the Chinese Super League.
In the knockout round, there was no shadow from Huaxia football at all, which really made Li Xuan a little depressed.
Every time I see teams from Japan, South Korea or West Asia on the field, with the support of the fans, they are quite crazy to work hard for the AFC Champions League championship, and all kinds of struggles, Li Xuan can't help but feel sorry for those clubs in China.
Now that the atmosphere of the Chinese football world has been swept away, it has changed a lot, but the clubs that represent China are still outsiders, and even take the initiative to go out to embarrass people, and they can't even get out of the group stage early!
So, on the commentary seat of a CCTV sports event, Li Xuan seriously made such personal thoughts public on the spot!
He took the initiative to ask the majority of Chinese fans for their opinions and reasons, and at the same time, he also hung up the top clubs in China, and used the fact that it was difficult to do anything in the AFC Champions League, intending to stimulate those Chinese clubs to rise up.
However, Li Xuan's slightly deliberate stimulating behavior, in addition to only resonating with the majority of fans, those Chinese domestic clubs who had the opportunity to compete in the AFC Champions League pretended to be dead one by one, and never responded to the topic deliberately caused by Li Xuan at all.
The performance of this group of clubs is still so lifeless, but they don't even dare to put a big talk!
Just when even Li Xuan no longer had any illusions about these clubs in the future AFC Champions League, finally, a club rarely responded to Li Xuan's question about why Huaxia Club could not achieve achievements in the AFC Champions League.
And this team is still the promoted horse of this year's Chinese Super League, Evergrande from Yangcheng!
This team, which is now decisively ahead of the Chinese Super League in points, is very confident in signing big-name international players and sky-high foreign aid in a short period of time. Then, he deliberately made a huge investment in front of the people of the whole country, claiming that it would take five years to win the AFC Champions League, fully responding to Li Xuan's previous appeals!
This situation finally made Li Xuan, who was about to take advantage of the situation and have to enforce the AFC Champions League finals, feel a lot better. (To be continued.) )
