Chapter XXIII Decisions

After careful consideration, Cristina chose to go to the lower level as the referee, because everyone knows that the referee is the real master of a game, just like history, although it also remembers the name of the assistant referee who has been enforcing in the previous World Cups, but that is just a name, and the referee will always be remembered, when English football was just developing, there was no referee industry. Even after coming out of the referee industry, there was no special referee course. At that time, the referees in English football invited some respected people to come and adjust the game. Because they believe in these people of high moral standing and believe in their character. I believe that they will be a fair and fair referee. So the referees are the judges who decide the fate of the game, and the assistant referees are just vassals, so under the advice of John Taylor, Christina finally decided to go to the lower level to be the referee!

The next day, playing on the street, Christina was excitedly shopping, after all, she was going to be the referee next, and she didn't know what the young woman was

At the Adjudication Committee, a conversation about her was beginning

"John, you should advise Christina."

Philip? Tang frowned and said regretfully, "Christina, do you know? This disciple of yours is the most talented assistant referee I have ever seen. With the current upward momentum, I can assure you. Even if she's a girl, I'll have three years at most, no, just two years, and I can get her to get him an international assistant referee. At that time, she will also have a wide range of horizons, and her income will far exceed that of now. ”

Christina's qualifications are too shallow, and she can only be turned into a referee to enforce the Anglo-African United and English League C. But in the assistant referee position, there is no such restriction. Because Christina's table in the assistant referee position is perfect.

It can be said that Christina conquered all the bigwigs of the referee committee. Because Cristina's performance in League Two was so impressive, especially since she didn't make any mistakes in her decision.

It's not the same as the referee giving some fouls. Because for a lot of fouls, even the opinions of the referees are different, this kind of thing is really impossible to quantify. So it's easy to get controversial.

But things like corners, touchline kicks, offsides are not the same. This kind of thing is something that can be intuitively expressed xiΓ n. Whoever is whomever is whomever will not be disputed. And Christina has nothing to find fault with in this regard, so Philip Don can rightly support Christina. The perfect number jΓΉ is a qiΔ“, and no one can deny it. So Philip? Don really has a way to get Christina to become an international assistant referee in two or three years.

Unexpectedly, Christina chose a different path.

"The assistant referee is too famous, but it will delay his all-round development. And Christina is not short of money. ”

The salary of assistant referees in the Premier League is still relatively high. With the adjustment of the treatment of Premier League referees this season, the income of Premier League referees per game has exceeded 600 pounds, reaching 650 pounds. A budding referee like Bol can officiate at least 30 Premier League games in a season. In addition, he is also an international referee, and he can also officiate some European competitions, plus domestic cup competitions, it is normal to have more than 40 games in a season. As a result, he earns nearly Β£30,000 a year, which is already the most refereed.

The Premier League's assistant referees are also being paid well at the moment, earning Β£400 a game. Over the course of a year, the average assistant referee is tens of thousands of pounds, and the income is already quite good.

More importantly, the development of the Premier League is getting faster and faster, and the income of players is also increasing faster and faster. Although the income of referees is not as good as that of players, they must also keep up with this pace, and there will be a big increase in income.

"Christina, is it really decided?"

"Yes."

Philip? Don sighed. I finally found a talented assistant referee like Christie, and I wanted to promote her well. It's a pity that this little girl has her own ideas.

But Philip? Don wasn't angry. He likes judges with personality and those who are decisive. And Philip Don was able to understand Christina's choice, so it was just a little regrettable.

"But John, even if Christina gets the qualification to referee the football league, she can only enforce the Anglo-African United and the English C-League. You have to understand that. ”

Philip Don's style is tough. But that doesn't mean he's blindly tough, and he knows some strategies when it comes to refereeing bigwigs like John Taylor.

"I understand."

"Okay, wait for my news. I'll talk to Keith. ”

…………

And Christina, after discussing with John Taylor, decided to go to the lower level as a referee first, and then go to the Premier League, because although there is a precedent of Bennett as an assistant referee in the Premier League and then a referee, Bennett's status in the referee has always been despised!

So the following year, Christina officially became the referee of the Anglo-African League! At the same time, there will be a few opportunities in English and C,

I used to be an assistant referee, so I wasn't very conspicuous. And Christina is perfect in the assistant referee position, so there is not much opposition either. But the referee was different.

The referee and the assistant referee are completely different. No matter how good the assistant referee is, he will always be a vassal referee, but the status of the referee is very high. Once Cristina does become the referee of the football league this time, she will definitely become the target of public criticism.

"It's good to understand."

Christina? Taylor was pleased with Christina's attitude, so he smiled and said, "One more point. The referee and the assistant referee are completely different. The job of an assistant referee is enough as long as there is talent. But the work of the referee is more about experience. ”

"Teacher, I know."

The work of an assistant referee is much easier than that of a referee. This is especially true for a talented assistant referee like Christina. The assistant referee only needs to be able to accurately judge corners, sideline kicks, and offsides in the game.

Anything else is out of the assistant referee's concern. Even if there is a brawl between players during the game, it has little to do with the assistant referee.

But the referee is different. The referee has to keep the game running smoothly and also to judge those fouls. You have to deal with the pressure from the managers of both sides and of course the pressure from the players on the pitch. Christina has no experience in this area.

"Christina, get ready for this time. It is estimated that soon you will have a chance. ”

"Thank you, teacher."

"Also, I'd like to thank Philip for taking the time."

"Yes."

Christina nodded. Philip? Tang pushed Christina, in addition to Christina's own talent, there is also Christina? Taylor is related to such old referees. But Christina has also gotten Philip over the years? Don's great support, thank you, and then contact affection is a must.

…………

"Christina, congratulations."

For Christina's opportunity to win the referee of the Anglo-African United and English C League, many friends called Christina to congratulate her. Although Christina is a relatively ostracized referee in the refereeing world, Christina has been in this industry for two years after all. I still have a lot of friends.

The old referee rejected Christina because he was jealous of Christina and was also dissatisfied with the FA. But many young referees are willing to befriend Christina. After all, Christina's promotion speed is there. Just like Christina used to be promoted with Weber, when Webber was a big tree. Now many young referees also hope to be able to ride Christina's big ship and follow Christina to be promoted.

"Mark, it's just an opportunity. Far worse than you. ”

Clattenburg came to congratulate Christina in person. Clattenburg is only three and a half years older than Christina. Therefore, the relationship between the two people is much better than the others.

Like Weber, Christina is a senior, and she is very grateful in her heart. And for Clattenberg, Christina treats him as the big brother. So it was a great pleasure to see Klattenberg Christina.

"How so? You've been qualified to officiate in the Anglo-African United and League C so quickly, and I'm sure you'll be able to referee at the national level soon. ”

Clattenburg is proud. Because at the age of eighteen he became an assistant referee in the Northern League, and at the age of twenty he became the head referee of the Northern League. At the age of 21, he became an assistant referee in the football league and was able to administer the Anglo-African United as a referee. Therefore, even when he faces referees such as Webber and Atkinson, he is always talking with an equal mentality.

But since Christina came to the Northern League, she has been on a par with Clattenburg in a short period of time. This made Clattenberg a little jealous, but he also thought that only someone like Christina was worthy of his friend. Proud people also like proud friends.

"Mark, my qualifications are too poor, and I still have to survive."

Although Christina's promotion is fast, she is still not as good as Clattenburg in front of her. It's because of seniority. Clattenburg was young, but he qualified as a referee at the age of fifteen and came to the Northern League at the age of eighteen. She also worked as a referee in the Northern League, a qualification that Christina simply can't match.

All Christina needs now is time, experience and seniority.

"Just a couple of big games. By the way, when will you be able to enforce the game? ”

"It's coming. It is estimated that it will be next month. ”

"I'll give you a cheer when the time comes."

"Thank you."

Christina was really happy. Christina's promotion this time, although she did not get the qualification of refereeing in the football league, is also a real promotion. But it is precisely because of such a promotion that Christina has been greatly excluded.

And Christina is too junior to be qualified to bargain with the referee committee. His own assistant referee and the fourth referee of the game need to be directly appointed by the referee committee, and they have nothing to do with Christina.

At this time, Clattenburg was willing to come over and cheer, that is, he was willing to enter Christina's referee team, which was a huge benefit to Christina.

"It should. If there is a notice, sue me. ”

"Okay."

Anglo-African United, which is the fifth tier of the English league. It's a very special league. It is a league between a professional league and an amateur league, so to speak, a semi-professional and semi-amateur league. Many of the clubs here are trying to get promoted to the professional league.

In the Northern and Southern Leagues, professional players are very scarce. Those clubs also can't afford to keep a full-time professional player, and most of them are amateur players on short-term contracts. But the Anglo-African Union is different. In order to be promoted to League C, almost half of the players in the strong teams of the Anglo-African United are professional players. Even some ambitious Anglo-African teams, the main players are professional players.

So the Anglo-African Union is a rigorous exam for the young Christina!

Finally, Christina is finally going to be the official referee. Finally able to officiate the game as a referee, and it is also the Anglo-African United in England's fifth tier. The referee committee has given notice to Christina that Christina will be the referee in the fourth round of the Anglo-African League in the 99-00 season.

The day before the race, Christina? Taylor arrives at Christina's house.

"I'm going to be the referee tomorrow, isn't it nervous."

"A little."

Christina nodded. Although Christina is a little different from ordinary people, it is just a special talent in one aspect of Christina. Christina is just an ordinary person, just a very ordinary referee. You have to eat when you're hungry, you have to drink water when you're thirsty, and you're nervous at important moments. After two years as an assistant referee, I finally became the referee, and it was fake that I was not nervous.

John? Taylor looked at Christina's immature face and was very relieved. Christina? Lee, now only twenty years old. Of course, he will soon be twenty-one years old.

At the age of twenty, being able to officiate the Anglo-African United as a referee is very rare in the refereeing world. Can we say Christina? Lee is the youngest of the AFC referees. With such a disciple, how could John Taylor not be proud.

And for the young Christina, she is like a college entrance examination student in Huaxia, preparing for her first competition!
