During the entire World Cup in South Africa, in addition to the destined hot football events and countless attention brought by the stars on the field, the young referee Li Xuan gradually became famous, which can be regarded as adding a different charm to this football event!

And it is precisely because of Li Xuan's own special influence that when he was officially appointed by the FIFA Referees Organization as the fourth official of this World Cup final, he naturally did not receive much controversy, but received enough appreciation and support.

Not only does everyone not care about his youth and the black hole background of his background in the Chinese football circle, but they also appreciate a young face like him who is completely different from traditional referees.

So much so that the real referee of the final, Weber, a famous bald referee from the Premier League, has not yet attracted attention to Li Xuan, which can be regarded as another great spectacle of this World Cup.

During this time, even with all kinds of controversies in the outside world and various news events inside and outside the stadium, the World Cup was still quite hot and passionate. So in the end, two teams from Europe, together through a rather difficult series of battles, stood together on the field of the final.

The Netherlands and Spain, two strong teams that have never won any continental tournaments, especially teams that have never touched the Hercules Cup, are destined to be fresh but full of high-level collisions!

In any case, this World Cup in South Africa will definitely give birth to a new world champion.

This sense of anticipation not only made the fans of the two finalist teams in their home countries eager, but also made countless neutral fans who like to play against each other at a high level appreciate it.

Still at the Johannesburg Football City Stadium in South Africa, when Li Xuan once again stood in the familiar technical area of the fourth official, he was inevitably a little excited and nervous, proud to participate in the final.

He could even feel that his legs would tremble involuntarily, his blood and thoughts would immediately appear a little confused, and his concentration would be more completely devoid of extra extras.

The first time he was able to come off the bench to officiate the World Cup game, it was on this field, and now it is the final scene, and the whole person can't help but feel a little weightless!

However, even in this form, he is still looking forward to another good performance and live up to the name of the referee.

Of course, he will not be lucky enough to replace the referee to blow the penalty game, he just hopes that he can contribute perfectly in the technical area, and work together with other referees to dedicate an uncontroversial final, leaving a perfect end to the World Cup enforcement journey.

He has always believed that as long as he maintains the standard of law enforcement and leaves a good impression on the fans, then it is very likely that he will have a very good chance to stand on the field of the World Cup and become the referee on duty in the next World Cup.

Soon, at the scene, accompanied by the shouts and cheers of the fans on both sides accompanied by ultra-high decibels, Li Xuan completed his various work very seriously and skillfully, and made full auxiliary preparations for the main referee and the other two referees.

The powerful and enthusiastic suffocating atmosphere of the final was further emanated, but it made him gradually sober up, and the trembling nervousness seemed to be covered by the game itself, and he returned to normal.

Then, he was able to have a little time and thought to get a super up-close look at the live final that was in full swing.

Obviously, both the Spanish team and the Dutch team attach great importance to this final, so the two sides did not start a decisive battle at the beginning, but cautiously tested each other. The pace of the game was not fast, the excitement was mediocre, and they were deliberately testing the referee Webb's enforcement scale.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan carefully and carefully stared at the referee Weber's various running and law enforcement actions to observe what kind of law enforcement style this famous referee in the Premier League would have.

As we all know, the Premier League has always been played in a more open way, and the league also encourages players to attack, and the scale of enforcement of the game is often so liberal that the whole style of the league seems a bit rough.

However, Li Xuan did not see a typical referee of the Premier League who deliberately indulged the actions of the players in such a final scene, and Webber showed a rather strict law enforcement style at the beginning of this game, and quickly issued a few yellow cards in a row, which set a good strict tone for this final.

On this point, Li Xuan still has some appreciation for Weber. This man was very clever and took the initiative of law enforcement firmly in his own hands, not only quickly established his personal refereeing authority in a timely manner, but also did not let the game completely turn into a muscle battle.

It seems that if you really play according to this law enforcement rhythm, the technical and tactical level of both sides of the game should really get better and better, which more reflects the essence of the pursuit of football games.

Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, but accidents can happen at any time.

Just when Li Xuan was doing his essential work, watching the game and paying attention to Weber's law enforcement behavior, an extremely serious foul suddenly appeared on the scene!

At that time, it was in the twenty-eighth minute of the game, and it happened to be not far from Li Xuan's technical area, the Spanish team attacked, and the Spanish midfielder Alonso was receiving a pass and preparing to attack, but he did not expect that De Jong of the Dutch team flew up decisively, but kicked directly on Alonso's chest!

This kick, the kick was quite serious, and De Jong didn't have time to retract his leg, so he quickly made Alonso fall to the ground and roll in pain!

Obviously, this kick almost immediately caused an uproar among the fans at the scene, and also made Li Xuan startled.

This De Jong's action is also too scary.

Needless to say, the game was suddenly suspended, and the referee Webber stepped forward and immediately signaled the team doctor to come on the field for treatment, and then prepared to do something about the on-field behavior just now.

Seeing this, the Spanish players all looked aggrieved and frantically pressured Weber, hoping to get De Jong sent off with a red card. The Dutch players are constantly defending De Jong and do not want the overall interests of the team to be seriously weakened.

Weber, after listening carefully to the suggestions and narratives of both sides, still seemed a little uncertain.

Then, he took a few steps decisively and quickly, came to the side of the middle line technical area, and motioned to Li Xuan, who was standing not far from the scene of the incident, to discuss it with him.

"My vision was slightly blocked just now, can you see what happened?" Weber asked about the foul just now, and wanted to investigate the real situation of the foul from a clearer perspective on Li Xuan's side, which had a better perspective.

Li Xuan didn't expect that Webber really couldn't be sure of what happened at the scene, but he still quickly replied: "The foul situation is very simple, De Jong didn't seem to have stopped his foot at all, and kicked Alonso in the chest." Personally, I think it should be a red card. ”

"Okay, I know the situation, thanks. But when you say a red card, it's not good, it's less than 30 minutes into the game, and this is the final scene. Webber shook his head, and quickly smiled at Li Xuan to express his gratitude, but obviously did not intend to make a judgment according to Li Xuan's suggestion.

Sure enough, then Li Xuan saw that Weber took the initiative to show De Jong only a yellow card, and then explained a few words to him, and that's it.

"I'm here for the whole game, and I don't want to ruin this final easily." Probably guessing that the young Li Xuan might not understand it slightly, Weber also explained softly to Li Xuan through the headphones.

After listening to this, Li Xuan was stunned at first, but suddenly felt that it was not impossible for Weber to do this. Sometimes a red card can really easily ruin a good game, and fans like football games, obviously appreciate football itself more, and don't want the referee to dominate the result of the game casually.

Of course, if De Jong's kicking just now really had to be given a yellow card according to the normal law enforcement standards, it would be acceptable and would be fairer to the Spanish team.

Therefore, it is a special moment like this that can show a referee's strong psychological quality and on-the-spot reaction level.

Li Xuan then tried to put himself in his shoes and thought of his reaction when faced with such a situation, but he was not sure what he would do.

After all, as a referee, sometimes you really are not just a whistle-blower, but also a full participant in the football game.
