"Beautiful referee, superb penalty!"

"A young referee from League One, who is perfect for the Carabao Cup."

"It's not a vase, it's strength."

"Genius Referee!"

With the Carabao Cup quarters over, various newspapers began to work overtime to praise Christina. Christina is considered to be the best young referee in English football, and some people touted Christina as the strictest referee.

Of course, Cristina definitely didn't get to such a point, because Cristina could never be more than a referee in League One. Even if the table of the League Cup is good, it is not a final after all, and it is not enough for the newspaper to pay so much attention to it.

But now most newspapers are touting.

All the mainstream media were praising Christina and praising Christina's decision. She almost touted Cristina as the best referee in the younger generation of English football, and the number one female referee in the world. Even Christina herself blushed when she saw it. Christina also understands what a newspaper is.

Meng Lao Li, deceived Lao Wang. Black says white, white says black, can make people go to heaven, and can also make people go to hell. That's the media! Now there is only one thing to blow Christina.

Why?

This is the second step of Philip Tang's plan, and the referee committee has already communicated with the media. Although the referee committee is not well-known in English football, it is the highest governing body of referees after all.

In terms of strength, the referee committee is an important body of the FA and a real department. After all, the power of the referee is in hand, who dares to ignore the referee committee!

Therefore, the referee committee can also speak on the side of the media. Soon the name Christina appeared frequently in the media, and many important matches that Christina had officiated were also raised. Including games when Christina was an assistant referee.

Anyway, the newspaper praised Christina, a young female referee.

When the momentum is bigger, the second step comes.

"The only full-time referee in the football league!"

"There are currently more than 21,000 referees in English football, and Referee Christina Zhang is the only full-time referee. The current Premier League referees are all part-time referees, and no one is a professional referee except for Christina Zhang. To be able to have such ability at such a young age is because of the focus on the game. ”

All of a sudden, everyone was attracted by the report. Everyone is interested in the only word like this, such as the only stamp, which is worth a lot of money.

The only full-time referee.

Some fans are confused? Aren't referees professional referees? Why is there only one full-time referee?

Unlike insiders, many fans don't pay attention to the refereeing industry. But as the topic of Christina became more and more lively, many fans also began to pay attention to the referee industry. The topic of referees is also concerned.

At this time, Philip Don threw out the point he needed.

"The professionalism of referees must be implemented!"

"Now there are more and more complaints about referees, and people are often dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and they also feel that the referee's ability cannot keep up with the development of football."

"But you know what?

Now a Premier League referee earns only £1,100 a game, and the referee who has the most games in a year will not earn more than £40,000, which is still the highest paid referee in the Premier League. The average Premier League referee generally earns around £20,000. As for the Premier League's assistant referees, their income is even lower, they only earn 700 pounds a game, and even if they have weekly enforcement tasks for a year, it is difficult to earn more than 20,000 pounds. The average Premier League assistant referee earns around £15,000. ”

"It's still the income of Premier League referees. In League One and League Two, those referees earn no more than £10,000. Assistant referees earn even less. ”

"When people are criticising the low quality of refereeing in England, they don't think about what is causing the low quality of refereeing. I would say that it is because the income of the referee is too low to guarantee the life of the referee. So our referees are all part-time referees, and they all have their own jobs. Refereeing is just a part-time job in addition to their usual work. ”

"In such a situation, you can't let the horses run and don't let the horses graze, life can't guarantee who will give you a high level of law enforcement."

Referees are paid low, which is a well-known thing within the industry. But this is the first time that it has been exposed in front of everyone. It was also the first time that a newspaper had made public the specific income of a referee. It also surprised many laymen.

Players' earnings have risen by leaps and bounds in recent years, and now the Premier League's top players are earning as fast as £4 million. And players who earn two million pounds, it's not one or two. Of course, as the income of players has skyrocketed, so has the income of the head coach. There are also many managers in the Premier League who earn more than one million pounds.

But the authority on the field, the referee who manages a bunch of rich players on the field, has an astonishingly low income. The highest-paid referee in the Premier League earns only £40,000 a year, which is too big a gap.

"Referee Christina Zhang is currently the only full-time referee in English football. It has only been four years since she got the referee qualification, and it has only been three years since she actually became a referee. But her law enforcement is very high. ”

"Many referees with the same talent as Christina have to give up and continue to be referees because their income is too low to make a living. This is a great sorrow for our adjudicating community. ”

"Only by increasing the income of referees and making them become professional referees can we give referees enough time and energy to improve their professional level. It is imperative to professionalize referees. ”

I held it for so long and did so many movements. Philip Don finally spoke his mind in the newspaper.

Professionalization of referees.

This is the dream of several bigwigs of the referee committee. It's just that they've been talking to the FA and the Premier League clubs for the past few years, but they're always unwilling.

Therefore, in recent years, Philip Don and they can only strive for more referee treatment.

But no matter how much the referee's treatment rises, it can't satisfy Philip Tang. After all, as long as the referee is professional, then the treatment of the referee will definitely be greatly enhanced.

So they kept looking for an opportunity, and finally found it.

Christina's appearance gave them an explanation. See, that's the level of business of a full-time referee. I'm only twenty-three years old, and I don't have a lot of experience as a referee, but my level is so high.

That's professionalism.

Philip Don's meaning is simple. In the past, it has been just relying on the referee committee to fight for the interests of referees with the FA and Premier League clubs.

But there has been progress, but little has been done. It took so many years for the stingy FA and Premier League clubs to give the Premier League referee £1,100 a game.

So this time, Philip Tang decided to put a big move.

If a referee committee can't do it, then borrow the east wind. Use media pressure to get the FA and Premier League clubs to make concessions. It's a very good idea, and this huge media storm has indeed put huge pressure on the FA and Premier League clubs.

Now the issue of the professionalization of referees is being discussed everywhere, and people from all walks of life are jumping out.

In this way, a huge force has been formed, putting pressure on the FA and Premier League clubs.

…………

In July, the FA, the Premier League, the Football League, and the Referees Committee jointly announced that the Premier League would officially introduce a professional refereeing mechanism. The professionalization of referees has been successful!
