"Pay attention to the details of the game between the two sides. Raise your hand as soon as you see it, and write down whether it is a foul, offside, a goal, etc. ”

Originally, according to the referee assessment procedure, such an exam required a simple law enforcement game on the spot, so that each candidate could be a referee once. However, there are not a few candidates for the exam, and if you really want to compete on the spot one by one, you will definitely be tired of the examiner.

It's not a very formal exam anyway. Because after getting the referee qualification from here, they are just the lowest and most ordinary referees in England. Most of them don't even make it to the professional leagues, and it's normal for them to quit after a few years. Even if it's mixed up, it's good to be forced to die in the sixth and seventh leagues. So the exam is relatively simple.

There is no special preparation for these candidates, but directly to the English League for the exam. It's just that the position is a little better, so you can see the game clearly.

Candidates are nervously writing their answers. In fact, it is not a difficult thing, that is, after some controversial penalties in the game, or after the referee makes a penalty, the examiner will ask the candidates to write their own answers.

Because the exam is very easy, even if the referee's decision is written, you can fool it over. After all, this is a League One game, and there will be no problem with those referees giving 70 or 80 per cent of the penalties. And such an exam is nothing short of easy for Christina.

The penalty that needs to be written every time is a momentary matter for other candidates. But Christina's eyes are like video cameras, and they can even fix that moment to be sure. It may take a moment of judgment on the field, but in the above exam, Christina Zhang has enough time to observe, consider, and finalize, and as the only girl among the candidates, Christina also felt the disdain of her classmates, and I remember that when I first started class, many guys said to myself: "Little sister, this is not playing with ball...... This kind of nonsense, Christina is holding her breath and wants to take a first place to show these guys.

It was an official match, but just after the end of the first half, the exams for these candidates were over. Let these examiners grind here for a game, they will not be free, after all, there are hundreds of people who apply for referee qualifications every year, and if they carefully inspect the examiners every time, they will be tired to death.

"Okay, you can go back."

"When are we going to get the results?"

"Go back and wait for news."

The examiner coldly answered the candidates' questions. These examiners have been busy for a few days, and they are already very impatient. It's just a walk-around formality, and they don't want to be too tired.

"Look at these kids. All of them are what the referee decides, and they write whatever they say. ”

"Yes, it's all mixed exams."

"But it's the smartest thing to do."

There weren't many people taking the exam today, and the examiner wouldn't be really strict about grading. A simple look and a stroke of the pen will make most people guò. If there is no guò, then he is really a big unlucky guy with poor character and an even bigger stupid.

"Hey, that's an interesting answer."

Everyone just looked at everyone's exam papers, but this exam paper was so unique that the examiner took it and looked at it. After taking a closer look, he took the exam paper and walked in front of the examiner, Wade Parker.

"Mr. Parker, it's interesting to look at this exam paper."

"I'll see."

Every year this kind of test is a process, and this is the first time Wade Parker has come across an interesting answer. Therefore, I was more interested in taking it and looking at it, and then took out a referee's penalty report.

In this comparison, we can see a lot of differences. When the referee exams, the smart candidates must write the answers according to the referee's decision. After all, it's the referee, and even if there are mistakes, there won't be too many.

But this answer is different. Even the answer said that the goal of the game was offside, which was the only one of all the answers that said offside.

"What's going on?"

"John, come and see." An old man with gray hair next to him looked at him

"Oh, it's different. This little girl looks like she has a character. If you can get the footage of the first half, let's take a good look. Christina's answer, the only girl among the candidates, piqued his interest

"Okay, just pull up the game video and watch it."

So Wade Parker and John quickly pulled up the footage of the first half of the game. For the two of them, this ability is simple. After all, it's a League One match, and the footage is still very complete. I easily brought up the footage of the first half of the game, and then watched them one by one.

"Look, look. It was really an offside position, but it was half a position ahead. Even the linesman didn't say anything, the opposing defenders didn't notice it, and they didn't protest. ”

"Amazing, this little girl is really amazing."

Many examiners have already read the answers, because everyone's answers are similar, and it is easy to read them. So everybody gathered there and looked at the answers to this unique exam.

"John, what do you think?"

"I don't know what to say. In fact, where we are now, it is difficult to observe the offside. Even I didn't notice that this little girl was amazing. Wade, can I meet this kid. ”

"No problem, you wait a minute. She shouldn't have gone far. ”

…………

"Hello Christina Chang. I'm the director of our Newcastle Referee Management Committee, my name is Wade Parker. ”

Christina Chang was surprised. Because the other candidates are gone, according to Christina Zhang's inquiry, the efficiency of the English FA is very low. Although it is only a formality, it takes at least three months from the time of the exam score to the success of the FA registration referee. In other words, it will be in October at the earliest, and the referee qualification will be available.

But Christina Zhang didn't go far when Newcastle Football Association staff came to see Christina Zhang. Sue Sù Christina Chang, there is someone above who wants to meet Christina Chang. When Christina Zhang came, she saw the chief examiner at the time, and an old grandfather, ah, wasn't that the grandfather she met that day.

"Hello, Mr. Parker."

Referees in England are different from coaches and players. Because there was no formal selection process before, many referees were born by protégé relationships. That is to say, a certain excellent referee, after taking a fancy to some referees, accepts them as his disciples. Even if it is not a real teacher-student relationship, it is a relationship of inheritance. Then slowly promote them, and eventually enter the top league as a referee.

So in the English refereeing world, connections are very important. This Wade in front of you? Parker, Christina Chang though do not know. But to be able to be a referee in South Yorkshire, he must be a person with some influence in the English refereeing community.

"Christina Chang, give you an introduction. This is Mr. John Taylor, an old-timer in your refereeing community. You've probably heard of it. ”

"John Taylor?" Eh, isn't this the old man I met that day?

Christina Chang didn't react at first. After all, the referee's reputation is far inferior to that of the players, nor of the coaches. Even if it is an old-timer in the refereeing world, Christina Zhang will not know a few.

However, the name is slightly familiar, so Christina Zhang recalls the name repeatedly in a whisper. Soon Christina's eyes widened and said, "You are Mr. Taylor, who officiated the 74 World Cup final?" ”

"It's me."

Christina Chang was speechless for a moment and looked at John Taylor in disbelief.

When Christina Zhang was preparing to be a referee, she had seen some introductions from some of the biggest names in the English refereeing world. It's just that the referee's information is not so public, so you can only know some real bigwig-level referees. And John in front of him? Taylor is the biggest of the big guys in the English refereeing world, the legend of the legends, and the greatest referee in the English refereeing world.
