In the 2002 season, tavares became the head coach of chongqing lifan team, and Liu Xin always played as a defender in the team, and he played very well. But when Old Tower comes, Liu Xin will play forward, which is really hard for big Liu Xin.

Subsequently, the China Football Association has issued a penalty decision, and decided to ban Liu Xin for four games and impose a fine of 20,000 yuan.
