In the first round of the Premier League, Jack did not get a chance to enforce the law.

Jack understood that this was Philip Don's displeasure with Jack. Because Jack was the only one who explicitly opposed Philip Don when he was in the refereeing convention.

Jack really disagrees.

Whether it's as a Premier League referee or for Philip Don, Jack is very clear against it.

Philip Don was furious.

Although he didn't demote Jack directly to League One, he didn't give Jack a good look. Jack, as the new international referee in English football, should have made a big difference this season. There should have been a lot of strong dialogues that were supposed to enforce the law.

But I didn't expect that I didn't even catch the game in the first round.

Jack didn't blame Philip Don.

At the referee's meeting, the only one who had a clear point of view against Philip Tang was Jack. Philip Don has the right to be angry. After all, Philip Don has always treated Jack as his own.

All the way to the promotion, it is not without resistance. But Philip Don was strong enough to keep them down.

But in the end, in the meeting, the first to object, or even the only one to oppose on the surface, was Jack. Therefore, Philippe Tang was furious and did not arrange for Jack to go up in the first round of the Premier League.

The first round passed, and Jack didn't play. There was still no name for Jack in the second round, and there was no name for Jack until the third round. Jack was either a fourth referee or didn't even get a game. Jack was the referee for a more ordinary match until the fourth round.

It is estimated that Philip Tang is gone.

That's why Jack was arranged to enforce the law. But in these rounds, the Premier League is a whole chicken, flying and jumping.

Something really went wrong.

Not an ordinary big deal. Philip Tang's rules make the whole referee team uncomfortable, and all the Premier League players are uncomfortable. Because a lot of the regulations are just too harsh.

The players are not used to such a rule, but the referee has no choice. They don't just give players a side of the net just because they're not comfortable. Because no matter what happens to Philippe Don, if the referee doesn't give a strict penalty, then the unlucky one will be the referee.

Philip Don will not only withhold their salaries, but also send them to the lower leagues to enforce the law.

If that's the case, it's a big problem.

Therefore, the referees are all unsympathetic at all, and they are all strictly enforcing the law. Yellow cards are thrown, red cards are also made. After four rounds of Premier League matches, the number of yellow cards has gone up.

Of course, this is not the end.

At the end of four rounds, the Premier League received eleven red cards and eleven chargeoffs. That's a lot of data.

The number of red cards in a Premier League season rarely exceeds 50. If it's more than fifty, then it's what happened to a certain Premier League game that year. But the season has just begun, and there have been so many red cards.

It's really not a small thing.

The media throughout England was in an uproar. In their opinion, there is really a problem with the Premier League this season, how can there be so many yellow and red cards. And it's too boring. There is no freedom at all.

The players were even more dissatisfied. This can't work, that can't do that. If you don't pay attention to it, it's a yellow card and a red card.

The referee community is also very dissatisfied.

Because those clubs and players started attacking the referee, thinking that it was the referee's fault. But these referees are also unspeakable, under the suppression of Philip Don, who dares to disobey.

"I just can't do it."

Webb is a person who doesn't like to complain, but this time he also complained in front of Jack. There are too many referees, and there are too many restrictions. Even how to serve the sideline ball is stipulated.

The referee is like a puppet. And if you don't do it well, you will be punished. It's not a human thing.

The referees of the Premier League are all the top names in the English refereeing world, and even those who are qualified to be involved in the refereeing of English football. But being so restricted by Philip Don, how can there be no resentment in his heart.

Although they are not as powerful as Philip Don, they are also people who can sit down with him and negotiate. If you ignore the referee group like this, how can the referees not be resentful.

"I had advised Philip Don a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen."

"Philip Don has been on vacation lately."

"Vacation?"

Jack shook his head. This Philippe Don doesn't look at the current situation in the Premier League. I don't look at the referees of the Premier League who are now angry, and the Premier League clubs and players are also dissatisfied with the referees.

Such a situation, not to deal with it well, but to go on vacation.

"But too."

Jack was a little surprised at first, but nodded quickly. Because Philip Don has a habit of doing this. When the Premier League is not very intensive, after arranging his work, he will choose to go on vacation. That's his work habit.

But now is obviously not the best time to go on vacation, but he is on vacation.

…………

"Thank you, Mr. Philip Tang."

On September 22, 2001, Jack received a notification from FIFA. FIFA informed Jack that on October 17, he would come to Japan in Asia for two weeks of training.

Not your average training.

It is for the South Korea-Japan World Cup that will begin next year, and the training of World Cup referees will be conducted.

The selection model of World Cup referees is basically similar to that of international referees. It was a year to a year and a half before the World Cup, and there were international referees recommended by national football associations to FIFA.

FIFA then counts the performance of these international referees over the last two years. Then choose the best performer to become the World Cup referee.

In other words, the international referees recommended by the national football associations are candidates for the World Cup referees, and they will conduct several rounds of training before the World Cup. Then, about two or three months before the World Cup, the list of World Cup referees was officially announced.

Several rounds of training are also a platform for FIFA to examine these international referees.

Of course, after the announcement of the list of judges, it is not the final selection.

Because there will be some changes in the remaining two or three months. If some referees are injured and some referees fail to pass the assessment, they will be replaced by candidate referees.

However, a referee like Jack is basically a soy sauce player who enters the shortlist.

Because of the World Cup referees, although English football is good, there will be no more than two referees at most. Because there will be no more than 30 referees in the whole World Cup, sometimes 24 people, sometimes 26 people.

But there will definitely be no more than thirty people.

Therefore, football powerhouses such as England, Italy, Spain, and Germany will not have more than two referees in the World Cup. Even many times, there is only one referee.

England currently have two top referees. One is Pol and the other is Gallagher. When it comes to officiating the World Cup, the two of them are a sure thing. If England were to be allocated only one place, it would be the two of them competing for the post.

There is absolutely no such thing as a rookie referee like Jack.

But Jack was still happy.

Although only a candidate for World Cup refereeing, it was also an important experience. Those who can enter this list of candidates are all top referees of national football associations.

So Jack is very grateful to Philip Don.

In the current world of English football, the English football team will not arbitrarily recommend referees to FIFA without the consent of Philip Tang. Because Philip Don is the chief referee.

These things need the personal consent of Philip Tang before they can be reported to FIFA.

"No, I don't. It's only because England lacks international referees that you get to see the world. ”

Philip Don's voice was still cold. Philip Tang is still angry with Jack, but angry is angry, and he won't really stand in the way of Jack's development because he is angry.

Even in Philip Town's eyes, Jack was just a child. In the future of the Premier League refereeing world, it is still up to young referees like Webber and Jack.

"Thank you."

Although Philip Tang was cold, Jack was very grateful to Philip Tang. Thinking about the current situation in the Premier League, Jack is worried about Philippe Don.

Although he knew it was useless, Jack couldn't help but say to Philip Don: "I think the Premier League is a big problem right now. Mr. referee should go back to the Premier League. Or talk to the Premier League referee. ”

"I don't think there's a problem, it's good."

Philip Tang didn't care about Jack's words. Then he paused for a moment and said, "Jack, don't worry about this kind of thing. Go back and prepare well, and don't embarrass me when you go to training. ”

With that, Philip Tang hung up the phone.

Jack looked at his phone and shook his head helplessly. I don't know what Philip Don thinks, the Premier League is already resentful, and Philip Don doesn't seem to feel it at all.

Does he really not know? Or does he simply not care?

"Jingle bell—"

"I'm Jack Lee."

"Jack, I'm Keith Hackett. The referee committee has an impromptu meeting in the afternoon, so you should hurry up. ”

"Yes."

Ad hoc meeting?

Jack was inexplicable. The referee committee held an impromptu meeting and informed itself. And in such a hurry.
