As football has gotten better and better over the years, it has truly become the world's number one supersport.

So much so that FIFA's influence on football affairs is increasing day by day.

Because FIFA and football are prosperous and mutually reinforcing.

Therefore, FIFA has been trying to maintain and continue to promote this progressive development trend of football through various effective means, and has also continuously made some improvements to football to adapt to the new era and the new needs of fans and players.

For example, FIFA discovered such a problem as a goal-line case in the past World Cup, and knew that relying solely on the on-field judgment of the referee and linesman was inevitably not authoritative and fair. In order to avoid more misjudgments and misjudgments that affect the overall situation, we are now ready to arrange the new plan reasonably.

FIFA will officially install two new baseline referees in some of the more important competitions, who will be responsible for observing whether the ball has crossed the goal line in its entirety.

In some leagues or competitions with conditions, FIFA is still vigorously promoting new high-tech means such as Hawkeye technology. They use these new and effective ways to continue to improve the progress of football.

Naturally, such as the "Young Referee Training and Exchange Program", it is also another measure in a series of benign reforms recently introduced by FIFA.

FIFA hopes that the world's most potential young referees can get the best training, and expects these young referees to be able to exchange and use, conduct law enforcement matches in different leagues or regions, learn from each other's experience and adapt to different styles of play, and make progress together, so that they can become extremely comprehensive and powerful super referees.

The fact that Li Xuan and his referee team were selected is obviously a recognition of their current level and potential in law enforcement by FIFA. Of course, it is worth mentioning that Li Xuan's promotion of goal-line technology and Hawkeye technology has also made an appeal, and he may have been named on the FIFA side for a long time.

In any case, Li Xuan and the others were still very excited after learning the news of being selected into the "exchange program", and they used their personal time to continue to work frantically to learn various foreign languages under the official notice, and began to prepare for the implementation of FIFA's official training plan.

This situation finally made Li Xuan no longer have any worries about the future.

Now, even if the Chinese Football Association is not nervous one day, the seniors who have already entered the number again, and they wear small shoes again, or some of the referees who have problems with their character are dissatisfied with them and squeeze out, but they are not worried that there is no way back.

Under the arrangement of FIFA, they can exchange to another environment to experience the fun brought by different football styles, and maybe there will be different scenery.

Of course, this is just an afterthought, a new way out of what they may encounter again in the worst-case scenario in the process of persisting in their dreams of self-realization.

But in fact, at present, the Chinese Football Association has no intention of continuing to target them at all, and has adopted an attitude of treating them and other excellent referees who have no obvious gambling problems found on them.

Li Xuan and the others immediately felt at ease that they could continue to enforce the Chinese Super League again, and at the same time, they also began to prepare to participate in the upcoming Asian Games football event, but they suddenly became more busy and enriched.

Since this Asian Games is held in Yangcheng, China, China still attaches great importance to it.

Yangcheng has almost taken out their best preparations, on the one hand, it has created a very good stage scene to perform for athletes from Asian countries, and on the other hand, it is to show the spiritual outlook and humanistic demeanor of Yangcheng and even China's new modern city, as well as the soft power of basic service capabilities.

Needless to say, the specifications of this Asian Games are already quite high, and they are definitely worthy of the name of the continental competition.

In this context, the specific matters and preparations for the various categories of competitions are also formulated according to the highest standards in Asia. The football events of the Asian Games are certainly no exception, and the AFC has shown great respect to the organizers.

In addition to Li Xuan and them, the other referee groups are also under the AFC and belong to the elite referees of various countries.

In the face of these elite peers in the international referee industry, Li Xuan is also quite excited, and wants to communicate and learn from these experienced peers who have been famous for a long time, and test themselves to see what shortcomings they still have.

Although Li Xuan has always had a unique magical mind replay ability in his career as a referee, there are some aspects of specific knowledge and skills that can only be improved through continuous learning and summary.

Soon, after everyone moved into the referee dormitory in the Asian Games village in advance, Li Xuan quickly gained the friendship of some national referees who had no entanglement of interests at all.

And the elite referees of some countries are really difficult to handle, but Li Xuan doesn't care.

……

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the day of the official opening of the Yangcheng Asian Games.

Li Xuan, the referees, naturally had to go to the opening ceremony before the game with the vast majority of the Asian Games participants.

Due to the similarity of race, Li Xuan and several Chinese referees were imperceptibly pushed into a group of East Asian referees by the referees of some other West Asian countries in the case of a very crowded queue.

Li Xuan was in the crowd and directly met a young referee from Korea who had a few encounters in the Asian Games Village.

Probably out of a boring state of mind waiting for the opening ceremony, Li Xuan immediately took the initiative to greet the Korean referee in simple Korean language, which he had worked hard to learn: "Hello, sir, we meet again!"

Although he is ashamed of some Goryeo stars and fans, and expresses disdain for some of Goryeo's behaviors of preempting Chinese history, Li Xuan still has a friendly attitude towards ordinary people in Goryeo.

Especially the Korean referee in front of him is also very young and handsome, Li Xuan can't help but feel a little sympathy for him, he had no chance to make further contact in the Asian Games Village before, this time he took the initiative to say hello by taking advantage of standing together.

However, to Li Xuan's surprise, the Goryeo referee just glanced at Li Xuan, and then he raised his head quite arrogantly, snorted lightly, and didn't pay attention to Li Xuan at all!

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, guessing that the other party might not understand his immature Goryeo language, or he understood it wrongly, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hand again, trying to shake hands with the other party, and changed his mouth to English: "Mr. referee from Goryeo, I am a Chinese referee, I am very happy to meet you!"

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he also pointed to the admission card he was carrying with his other hand.

But the Goryeo referee, still with an awe-inspiring and inviolable arrogant posture, slowly glanced at Li Xuan again, but gradually showed a little disdain, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to know you, my dignity does not allow me to shake hands with the hypocritical referee in the country where match-fixing is prevalent!"

I'll go, what the hell is this?

When Li Xuan heard the other party's reply, he was a little stunned and speechless again in an instant!
