In this World Cup final, when Li Xuan is free, he will still be like the process of several World Cup matches he has participated in before. In his spare time, he still has a more learning mentality, and pays close attention to the actions of Premier League referee Webber and the two linesmen, Darren Kahn and Mike Malaki, on the field, and strives to analyze each other's various law enforcement techniques, psychology and experience, and consciously gains a lot.

Theoretically speaking, as a professional professional international referee, a person like Li Xuan who can join the law enforcement team of such a top event as the World Cup should often have many law enforcement experience in key events and even first-class large-scale finals, and there is no need to learn and absorb it from time to time like he has never seen the world.

It's a pity that this is not the case, Li Xuan, who is extremely young, in his previous personal law enforcement experience, is more just a very ordinary low-level professional competition in China, or some warm-up events in small countries recognized by FIFA, he basically does not have much opportunity to enforce very important key events.

It can even be said that he was able to obtain the certification qualification of an international-level referee, and there is a little suspicion of the number of law enforcement games, and the average quality of the games that have been enforced is not high, it is simply average.

For participating in the law enforcement work of key and important competitions such as the World Cup and the finals, Li Xuan's personal law enforcement experience is obviously seriously lacking, which is indeed the real fact.

As for the reason why young Li Xuan is so lucky to be a member of the referee team of the World Cup in South Africa, it is because at the time of the selection of the referee quota for the World Cup, Huaxia has not made a mistake during that time, and the number of international-level referees who can be qualified for candidates is really small.

Moreover, the Chinese football world has just made a wave of quite serious match-fixing turmoil, and even many famous whistles and even golden whistles have been imprisoned, and for a time they have fallen into a bad situation where there is a shortage of referees and their reputation is completely discredited.

It was in such a special context that Li Xuan was pinched by the Chinese Football Association in the name of responding to FIFA's call for "younger referees", and took the initiative to launch him as one of the candidate referees for the World Cup. Of course, even so, Li Xuan is also the second reserve candidate for another candidate referee who has been nominated a long time ago, and he is not the first choice.

It's just that Li Xuan's personal luck this year is really bursting, just when the nomination of the Chinese referee in the World Cup was about to be officially reported to FIFA. The referee who was nominated in the first place was helplessly implicated in the match-fixing vortex in the Chinese football world, although there was not necessarily evidence to prove his mistake, but he was also tainted. The Chinese Football Association was unwilling to be embarrassed and thrown internationally, so Li Xuan, who had an absolute innocence, was officially nominated as a substitute and officially entered the referee team of the World Cup.

Li Xuan is definitely the youngest qualified and least experienced super junior among the members of the referee team of the entire South Africa World Cup. If it weren't for the fact that he was ordered to successfully and perfectly enforce the battle between Brazil and Ivory Coast, and then encountered a series of magical situations and became popular, he would still not have had the opportunity to experience this super exciting top-level final enforcement work firsthand.

Therefore, Li Xuan personally cherishes such a top-level and dream World Cup final law enforcement opportunity. He also plans to take this as an opportunity to add a more brilliant stroke to his resume, so that he can get a more stable and formal law enforcement job in China when he returns to China. Instead of continuing to take the initiative to find some games to enforce as he used to, or waiting for him to throw him some remaining games that other referees didn't choose.

……

The first half of the match between Spain and the Netherlands at the Soccer City Stadium ended in a relatively slow heat.

It wasn't until more than 40 minutes into the game that the two teams found their true form of play with the attacking level of hitting the post and being saved on goal respectively. It is believed that only through the adaptation and new adjustment of the midfield, the two sides should have a more intense decisive battle in the second half.

However, at halftime, Li Xuan, as the fourth official, did not have the time to guess the technical and tactical state of both sides on the court, and he suddenly had a new job to do.

Because, there are strange sudden problems among the members of the referee team!

This time it was the linesman Darren Kahn who had been unlucky enough to be ill lately due to his lack of adaptation in South Africa. It's just that in order to be able to participate in the law enforcement work of the World Cup final, which may only come once in a lifetime, he gritted his teeth and hid from everyone, and tried to use his body to force himself to hold on secretly.

It's just that when the disease is really about to attack in an all-out way, no matter how strong the mental fortitude is, it can't resist the bad reaction of the body. Darren Kahn, under the influence of severe symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea for a long time, and after the impact of high-level and high-pressure work in the first half of the final, he couldn't hide it completely, collapsed, and the whole person was almost unable to stand up!

At this time, he finally confided in Li Xuan and several of his colleagues the truth about his illness, and recounted the regretful fact that he could no longer continue to insist on co-dictator law enforcement.

Webb, Mike Malaki, and Darren Kahn are all long-time veterans, so they naturally fully understand his choice to conceal it, but they can only sympathize with him for his unfortunate illness. Although Li Xuan and him were cooperating for the first time, they could also understand his mood, and they hurriedly comforted him with a few friendly words.

Naturally, at the same time, they had to re-divide the refereeing work in the second half of the game.

Needless to say, Li Xuan, the fourth official of the game, who was already a substitute for the referee, once again directly got the opportunity to play the law enforcement, and will replace the collapsed Darren Kahn in the position of the linesman.

Darren Kahn was the fourth official in the slightly relaxed, occasionally rested technical area, barely making it through the race.

Li Xuan, even he didn't expect that he would have such strong luck in a row!

In addition to being able to thank his mother who specially asked for a good luck charm for him when he came, and the legendary ancestors of various immortals, he didn't know how to celebrate this other great gift from the sky!

It is often said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. But Li Xuan suddenly felt that he was not fully prepared to get so much so far so far!

……

"Don't overthink it, lad. Just run as usual, don't put too much pressure on yourself, let go of your body and mind, and enjoy the race of your dreams!"

Perhaps seeing that Li Xuan was still a little nervous and complicated after the break, the referee Webber, who was about to lead everyone back to the court to prepare for the second half of the game, patted Li Xuan on the shoulder very friendly at the door of the locker room. This English referee, who is a police officer, is still quite kind in private.

"yes, watch the line carefully, keep an eye on each player, and enjoy it to the fullest!"

"For a referee your age, running on the side of the pitch is a great experience, don't care about the outside world, we're really happy for you. In fact, we also have very complicated emotions at the moment, and our hearts are not calmer than yours. ”

And Darren Kahn and Mike Malaki are also congratulating Li Xuan on having such an experience and sharing their feelings.

Li Xuan nodded, smiled at the three peers, grabbed the flag for law enforcement, and carefully adjusted his law enforcement clothes, and kept stomping his feet as a warm-up, while walking firmly to the entrance of the court with everyone.

As the sound in his ears became brighter and brighter, the light in front of him became stronger and stronger, and even the air became more and more diffused with all kinds of tense battle intentions, Li Xuan suddenly took a deep breath and appeared on the green court with everyone as scheduled.

Immediately after, he smiled again, and confidently faced countless fans and live TV footage as a new lineman!
