As the referee of the men's football team for the first time, Christina's heart is still nervous. Christina is definitely an offbeat in the world of refereeing. Those who can come to the football league as assistant referees, whether they are young referees or veteran referees, they have experience as referees.

Most of them have experience as referees in the Northern and Southern Leagues, while others have experience in the regional leagues. Only Christina, who became an assistant referee in the Northern League because she first arrived. Then, with the final of the Anglo-African League play-offs, he became an assistant referee in the football league, so he did not have any experience as a men's referee.

"Christina, it's time."

Clattenburg is more experienced than Christina, despite being the same age. So patted Christina, who was standing there. Christina looked back at Clattenberg and nodded.

"Let's go."

Christina walked out first, and the referee behind her. When Christina walked out, players from both sides began to appear in the tunnel as well. Most of these players are older than Christina.

The players also looked up at Christina. For the head coach of the team, in addition to studying the situation of the opponent, it is also necessary to study the situation of the referee. Facing different referees, the team's strategy must also be different. In the face of some referees with a strict style of enforcement, even teams with fierce style of play will warn players to be calm before the game.

They had already heard from the manager in the dressing room. Today's referee is a young referee and a girl, and this is the first time she has been a referee. That's why the manager told them that if there is any unfavourable decision, they have to complain. Panic the young referee and put pressure on her.

Of course, Christina didn't know this, and Christina was just nervous right now.

…………

"Ten, Eight, Seven......"

Today is Anglo-African United's Gyndamistt FC against Welling FC. The home stadium of the Gundamistt club is the Agborov Stadium, which has a capacity of more than 3,000 people.

The capacity of the stadium is relatively small, but it is precisely because of the small size of the stadium and the fact that the fans of nearly 3,000 people put more pressure on Christina, which makes Christina even more nervous. The pressure on the referee and the assistant referee is completely different.

The assistant referee stands outside and the referee is on the pitch. Front, back, left, right, right are all players. When I look up, there are fans up and down. In order to calm herself down, Christina could only look at her watch.

To outsiders, it looks like Christina is waiting for the start time, but in fact, Christina is really nervous, so she keeps an eye on the time on her watch. At the end, Christina couldn't help but count the time there.

"Three, two, one."

"Doodoo-"

Christina finally blew the whistle to start the match. Unlike the assistant referee who follows the last defender except the goalkeeper, the referee follows the ball.

Although there are no specific rules, the referee generally needs to keep a distance of 10 to 15 meters from the ball. And Christina learned in class that the referee should be behind the left side of the ball. Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule, but an empirical one.

Why ten to fifteen meters, because that's the best viewing distance. If this distance is exceeded, the referee will not be able to observe it in many cases. But if you want to follow the ball like this, the referee really needs to be physical. It's not an ordinary body, and if you want to run all over the field with the ball, it's impossible not to run about 11,000 kilometers.

The referee has a lot of work, which is completely different from the assistant referee. Cristina had to ensure that the game went smoothly and that the penalties were accurate. And the ball was flying in the air in the EFL, and Christina couldn't figure out how she should move for a while.

Neither Kingamiste nor Welling FC are first-class teams in the Anglo-African League, but in terms of the strength of the two teams, Kingamistt is more powerful. The game should take the initiative on the field by virtue of home advantage.

Because it is an Anglo-African United game, there are the most high-altitude balls. Gundamist's goalkeeper Daniel Lewis kicked straight into the midfield, and the midfielders immediately started scrambling. Welling's midfielder jumped with his arm outstretched, crushing one of his arms against the Gundamist's player. However, because of interference, he did not touch the ball accurately.

"Toot-"

As soon as she blows Christina, she understands that she has made a mistake, because she is often the referee in the women's football team, so the blowing penalty scale is generally very strict, and the physical confrontation is very heavy, but in the Anglo-African League, everyone knows that the lower leagues are the best way to see a country's football style. English football is all about physical confrontation, and that's what football is for them.

And the Anglo-African Union inherited that. Matches are very common when physical confrontations. In the Anglo-African Union, the other referees don't care because it's so common.

"Why?"

"Damn, I didn't foul at all."

"Damn, don't you have a problem with your eyes?"

These players are really fed up because they feel that Christina's punishment is too harsh. Anyway, in their eyes, Christina was nothing, so one by one they came up to blame Christina's punishment.

In English football, it is common for players to scold the referee, and the England referee is very tolerant of such complaints and attacks from players. It's rare for a referee to give a yellow card to a player for scolding him.

Even Atkinson, who is known for his severity, and Andre Marriner, the "red card king", are the same. There will be no penalty for them for this reading. Unless it's a player who has physical movements.

When a player is angry, England's referee waits. When the player finishes scolding, he will smile and talk to the player about his heart and future. Anyway, England's referee was very tolerant of these angry players. This reading has been praised in European football. Although the refereeing ability of England is not as good as that of other European leagues, this people-friendly attitude is hugely praised.

But Christina is different. Christina blackened her face and looked coldly at the player who complained. Before he finished venting, he came to him and said, "You pressed the opponent when you jumped." ”

Then, Cristina raised her hand with a yellow card, warning the most emotional player

Actually, Christina really didn't want that. But now Christina has no choice, because the whistle has been blown, making it difficult for Christina to ride a tiger. In order to protect the authority of the referee, Christina can only strictly enforce the law.

So in the next game, the whistle sounded from time to time, but fortunately, I have also played many games with so many referees, and the game is still passable, but the problem is that the game is intermittent, which is the biggest problem. In addition to the referee's accurate decision, it is more important to ensure that the game is carried out smoothly and smoothly. Christina did a terrible job in this regard.

I remember that the best referee is the one you can't see in the game. But in this game, Christina's sense of survival was too strong, and she pressed all the players down. When Christina instead became the protagonist of the match, it was the most failed referee. Almost two minutes to blow a foul, so that the whole game is intermittent, and it is impossible to go smoothly at all.

And, in the second half of the game, due to Christina's strictness, the head coach of Jingdamistt couldn't sit still and came to the sidelines to protest: "Referee Christina, this is not women's football, what are you doing?" ”

And Christina, who was also on fire herself, actually pointed directly to the stands after coming over and shouted: "Get out!" "Directly stunned everyone! Because no referee is so domineering in the Anglo-African League is to expel the manager, and Christina actually did it

In this game, Christina gave four yellow cards and sent the head coach of Gundamistt out of the game!

After the game, both teams were unhappy with Christina, and both teams complained about Christina. Thinks Christina's penalty is too harsh.

And after the game, John Taylor looked at Christina and said, "What you did wrong was in the game when you became the protagonist." In world football, the rules are the same, but different leagues have different penalty scales. I want you to be strict in the first game, not to let you blow fouls for everything. You didn't understand the UK-Africa Union well, and you didn't grasp the scale, and that's the biggest mistake. ”

"Teacher, I understand."

For this game Christina was made a private recording. Anyway, as long as you have money, you can find a professional to record it. Although it is not as powerful as the Premier League, the effect is also very good.

In the past two days, Cristina has been rewatching this game, and she also understands that the game is too strict for herself.

"Don't take it personally. You can pay more attention to the next game. ”

Originally, the evaluation of the first game was not good, and it is estimated that a young referee like Christina will not be qualified to enforce the law for a while. But in Christina's first game, in addition to John Taylor, there was also Philip Don, who supported Christina.

So neither Philip Tang nor John Taylor will allow Christina to be denied a chance to enforce the law. Because of this, both of them lost. Therefore, they strongly supported Christina, so that Christina continued to have the opportunity to enforce the law.

Of course, if Christina continues to mess up the game below, then it will not be Christina alone, but Philip Tang and John Taylor. Both of them will also be affected.

"I know, teacher."

After a half-month break, Cristina was given the chance to become the referee again. That is, in the fifth and sixth rounds of the Anglo-African League, Christina did not get the opportunity to enforce the law, and in the seventh round of the Anglo-African League, Jack got the opportunity to enforce the law again.

Christina kept this phrase firmly in mind.

Strict. Only different from the style of the others, Christina in the game when the strict control zhì all kinds of dangerous moves. The frequency of cards is also high. Of course, with the experience of the first game, Christina is letting go of a lot of the usual physical collisions.

But even if she spared a lot of physical collisions, Christina's game was very strict.

He was famous for officiating four games, with 11 yellow cards and two red cards, and three managers sent to the stands.

That's all I can say. In an Anglo-African United that was originally very relaxed, a card king like Jack suddenly came, which made the entire Anglo-African United pay attention to Christina, a young female referee.

As for Christina, everyone is not convinced. Because you, a young referee who has just reached the age of twenty-two, what qualifications do you have to convince everyone?

But there is real fear, a real fear.

When has the Anglo-African United ever come out with a young, ruthless referee like Christina. Cristina has only been in charge for about five games, and all the clubs in the Anglo-African League already know that the Anglo-African League has produced one of the strictest referees and loves to play cards.

In the face of such strict penalty standards from Christina, many teams warn their players before the game. When Christina is enforcing the law, don't move too much. Cristina did not conquer the players of the Anglo-African League with her own skills, but suppressed them with the majesty of the referee.

"This little girl still has some way."

Philip Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, it's not that Cristina is good at the Anglo-African Federation, on the contrary, her overall score is not very good. Christina's table was still much worse than expected. It's just a passing grade!

Compared to Webber back then, and some of the best referees who had officiated at the FAP, Christina's start to the season in the AFC was not outstanding.

But she didn't make an obvious mistake, that is, the scale was too strict!
