Chapter 50: On and off the field

And in the stands at Old Trafford

All the bigwigs of the referee committee arrived. This match for Cristina was a pivotal match. If the race goes smoothly, then the plan goes deeper. Philip Tang will step up the firepower propaganda. But if the table is not good, then the plan is terminated immediately.

And Philip Don had just sat down when he saw the angry John Taylor.

"Philip, are you trying to kill Christina?"

John Taylor looked at Philip Down with a gloomy face. John Taylor was not angry. Christina was in the media spotlight before the match.

In this case, John officiated at the League Cup one-eighth knockout round, and it was also a match between Manchester United and Arsenal, two Premier League giants, which must have received a lot of media attention. These media will definitely put every penalty of John in this game under a magnifying glass and put it in front of the public.

With just one serious mistake, Christina's refereeing career is over. So John Taylor's eyes can be on fire when he looks at Philip Don.

"John, you should have faith in little Christina."

Philip Tang actually responded to John Taylor very calmly. John Taylor was furious. In recent years, as Philip Tang has won a lot of benefits for the referee industry, Philip Tang's power has been in full swing. But Philip Tang is also becoming more and more arrogant, and his style is becoming more and more powerful.

When Philip Tang first started working in the referee committee, although his style was tough and his temper was big, he would not be such an old referee. But now Philip Don dares to take the words of himself, the first referee in the history of English refereeing, so seriously. This makes John Taylor angry now.

"Philip, don't you just want to be professional? I tell you that if today's events pass well, everyone will be fine. But if something happens and you want to leave Christina alone, don't even think about it. ”

John? Taylor also warned Philip Down in a stern tone.

If anything happens, as long as Philip Down dares to use John as a scapegoat, John Taylor will definitely not make Philip Down feel better. Although John Taylor didn't do anything for many years, he didn't mix anything. But John? After all, Taylor is a referee for more than 30 years, and he is the first person in the English refereeing world now.

In the current English refereeing world, many old referees have a deep friendship with John Taylor and have known each other for a very long time. And many young referees, many of whom have accepted John? Taylor's help.

If John Taylor really wants to fight Philip Don, Philip Don will not feel good.

"There's not going to be anything like that. The media's attention to Christina is only a momentary curiosity, and when the matter passes, everyone will forget about Christina. We definitely don't leave Christina alone with anything. ”

Keith Hackett heard John Tyler's warning, so he hurried up to reassure John Tyler.

"Even if there is anything wrong, Cristina can continue to enforce in the lower leagues. As long as a few years later, everyone forgets about jì, he can still continue to be promoted, and finally become the referee of the Premier League. ”

John Taylor heard Keith Hackett's words, snorted coldly, and did not continue to speak. When it came to this, John Taylor could only wait. But John Taylor could fire in his eyes as he looked at Philip Don.

And at this time on the field

I have to say that it is worthy of the highest level of the Premier League, as the top two teams in the Premier League, from the beginning of the game, the two sides began a fierce confrontation, in the ninth minute of the game, Henry burst into the Manchester United penalty area, Ferdinand immediately made up for the defense and the smart Henry took the initiative to lean on when Ferdinand's leg stretched over. "Henry, fall in the penalty area! The referee's whistle blows for a penalty! Penalty kick! Of course, Christina found out this, and I have to say that Henry is indeed very smart, and this time Christina can only say that he makes reasonable use of the rules!

And Christina's penalty immediately caused dissatisfaction among Manchester United players, Ferdinand, Neville and other players immediately surrounded Christina, and the hot-tempered Roy Keane immediately scolded and came over, the assistant referee immediately came up to clear the siege, Christina immediately hid behind the assistant referee, and then calmed down and shouted: "Roy Keane, Roy Keane, if you do this again, I will give you a yellow card!" ”

The manager of Manchester United off the field, Ferguson, immediately came to Halsey to protest, and Ferguson immediately shouted angrily: "This penalty is a misjudgment, it is a fake fall, not a penalty!" ”

Halsey immediately explained with a smile: "Jazz, it's a penalty, Leo, it's a foul." ”

Halsey has always been in contact with the coach with a smile and kindness, and he directly plays Tai Chi with you, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiley person, Halsey grinded with Ferguson unhurriedly, and Wenger also came up to join in the fun: "Alex, don't try to put pressure on the referee, this is the right decision!" ”

And hearing this, Ferguson's muzzle turned to Wenger!

According to Ferguson's retired autobiography, being on the battlefield is completely different from being in church. Off the pitch, Arsène Wenger is a cool guy. He can be a good friend, and we know everything. We will talk about red wine and all kinds of trivial things in life. At UEFA meetings, he helps other coaches. In football, it is widely recognized that Wenger is a hard-working, meticulous and good man. However, when it comes to his team, for example on match day, it's not at all like that, and he's a completely different creature. I think I can understand Arsène too, after all, I am such a person. If there is one similarity in our personalities, it is an extreme aversion to failure.

But then Arsène and I became very good friends and we played together in the Premier League for many years and admired each other's pursuit of beautiful football. However, we did have our years of hostility over the years. The conflict started when he slandered me for being unhappy with the schedule, which was a complaint about complaining. I immediately shot back, carefully teasing: "What can a person who has just returned from Japan understand?" "Truth be told, the next two years it was Arsène's turn to complain about the congestion. It's a joke for a foreign coach to come to the Premier League and think he can lead the team to 55 league games without having to rotate. So modern football requires you to rotate players frequently to spread the pressure and reduce the load. It wasn't long before Arsène understood the Premier League culture and he overcame his initial fear: play on Saturday, play again on Wednesday, and play again next Saturday......

Arsene Wenger visited my office after the first trip to Old Trafford after the game. At first we had a good relationship. The problem came after his Arsenal lost once to them. He has a hard time admitting that his team made a mistake and often lashes out at his opponents. He struggled to accept physical collisions and couldn't understand the rough tactics used by opponents against his players. His definition of roughness even extended to tackles, and he thought in his head that no one should tackle his lads.

However, I also get excited when I watch Arsenal's good games, and I've always loved watching Arsèna's team play. I spend hours thinking about how to deal with them before I play them, they always present special challenges. I always felt like I needed to look at every aspect of Arsenal: they were a threat on the pitch.

So now Wenger is Ferguson's biggest opponent, so the two old coaches directly started to fight.
