"Remember. As long as there is any unfavorable decision against us, you immediately go to the referee to reason. Whether it's a foul, a touchline kick, or a corner kick, any penalty that looks vague will put pressure on the referee. ”

Gateshead International Stadium.

This is the home of Gateshead, who will face last season's Anglo-African League promotion play-off finalists Woking FC. Gateshead lost that game and watched as Woking FC were promoted to League C.

It was the first time since that game that Gateshead had re-encountered Woking.

But what makes people even more angry than this is that this time the referee is the linesman who single-handedly escorted the promotion of Hejing Club at that time. Although everyone knows from the later footage that Jack's judgment was right, Webb's judgment was correct. But Gateshead FC is still angry with the two referees.

"Head, but that Judge Jack Lee is a very strict referee. It is said that he is the referee with the most cards played by the Anglo-African Union at present. Will that anger him? ”

The Gateshead players asked their manager with some hesitation. After all, the current Jack is notorious, and he has shown three red cards in seven games so far. It's almost a rhythm of two red cards.

As for the yellow card, it goes without saying. The number of yellow cards shown in seven games has reached 30, and he is definitely a strong player in the Anglo-African League.

"Don't worry."

It is also part of the job of a head coach to study the style of the referee and the psychology of the referee before the game. Gateshead's head coach is called Charles, and he is a very young head coach, only 32 years old this year.

But he's been a head coach for three years and has been a head coach since he was twenty-nine. Charles is a manager with big ambitions, after all, he is still young. He hopes to lead Gateshead to League C and then do well in League C to attract the attention of some of the clubs above.

And then slowly, slowly, it's better to have a chance to become a manager in the Premier League. Therefore, his pre-match preparation was quite good.

"The last penalty, although he was right. But he must be sorry for us in Gerzheide, and he will care about what we think. Therefore, as long as we continue to put pressure on him, his decision will definitely be biased. ”

This is what Charles analyzed. Jack Lee, a 22-year-old Anglo-African referee. Judging from his performance in the first few games, he is obviously a rookie referee. In order to establish his prestige, he began to suppress it with high-pressure methods in order to show his existence.

And in the face of Gorshead, can he still have such a psychological advantage? In the last season's game, it was his judgment that decided the outcome of the game. Even if he was right, Charles believed that Jack was embarrassed.

As long as the referee has this in mind, Charles believes that Jack will definitely be biased. And it will definitely be on your side. That's why he laid out such tactics before the game.

"Yes."

The Gateshead players all nodded. Because after the analysis of my coach, it is really the same thing.

"However, since Judge Jack Lee is a very tough referee, then you are just putting pressure on him. Don't make a move that angers him. Rationalize with him calmly. ”

Charles finally reminded his players. The young referee, maybe as soon as his head is on fire, he doesn't care about anything. Charles didn't want his players to anger a rookie referee.

Like Gertshead's head coach Charles, there are not a few who are analytical. Even the head coach of Woking Club thinks so. In his opinion, many referees have a tendency to do this.

Compensatory psychology.

Although Webb and Jack were right in that sentence. But the timing was wrong, the occasion was wrong, and that match was a direct decision to promote to the final of the English League C. And the time when the penalty kick is effective is when there are only about ten seconds left before the game.

Therefore, from another aspect, the promotion of the Hejing Club to the English League C at that time was completely caused by Webb and Jack. So they all decided that Jack would have some embarrassment in his heart.

So when in the locker room, the head coach of Woking Club also hopes that his players can actively reason with Jack. Jack can't be allowed to take care of Gateshead because he has any compensatory mentality.

"Philip, you're pulling out the seedlings."

Jack Taylor looked at the smiling Philip Don and was dissatisfied. Philip Don has a tough personality and never admits defeat. Because Jack's previous performance was not good, he actually came to such an arrangement.

And this matter was not discussed with Jack Taylor, which made Jack Taylor very angry. Although Jack is now slowly adapting to the Anglo-African Union, he has just become the referee after all, and many aspects are not satisfactory. It can be said that there are still many problems with Jack now.

At this time, Jack needs experience, and slowly accumulate game experience in the absence of attention. Only then will Jack be able to truly transform from assistant coach to referee. But Philip Don actually gave Jack such a game directly.

"Jack, there are over 25,000 referees in England. Among so many referees, everyone wants to be a referee, everyone wants to be a national referee, and they want to be a Premier League referee. Hundreds of talented people. ”

Philip Don is certainly not as good as Jack Taylor, England's all-time number one referee, in terms of refereeing experience. In terms of connections in the refereeing community, it is not as good as Jack Taylor, who has been a referee for more than 30 years and has promoted countless referees. Even in terms of age, Philip Tang is smaller than Jack Taylor.

But Philip Don was tough and tough. I don't care about Jack Taylor's dissatisfaction at all.

"In addition to focusing on referees in the Premier League, we also focus on the lower leagues every year. Your disciple is also one of them, and one of them very attentively. But the referees of the lower leagues that have received the attention of the referee committee are not one or two, nor ten or eight, but twenty or thirty. I don't have that much time to focus on your disciple alone. ”

There was no smile on his face and he continued: "We gave him the opportunity to referee in the AFL and he didn't take it well. Now we've given him another game to test his ability to resist and if he still doesn't take it, then I think being an assistant referee is the best thing for him. It is impossible for our referee committee to give him a chance all the time, after all, our referee committee is not for him alone. Wait until he has enough experience to come back as a referee when the time comes. ”

Jack Taylor frowned. He and Philip Don don't have a bad relationship, but they weren't very close either. Jack Taylor didn't really like Philip Don's domineering style.

When it comes to starting a business, you need someone of Philip Don's character to fight the country. Nowadays, the refereeing world is committed to the professionalization of referees, so everyone is looking forward to Philippe Donma.

But once the refereeing is professional, if Philip Don is still so domineering, it is hard for Jack Taylor to believe that Philip Don can sit in the position of chief referee. Referees like Philip Don and Jack Taylor are so faceless, not to mention the others. This style is too domineering.

"Jack, it's actually the result of our deep thought. Your students now need an important competition to prove themselves. He used the power of the referee to suppress the players, and it was not a long-term thing. You still need to use your own strength to impress the teams of the Anglo-African League. ”

Seeing that Jack Taylor's face was not good-looking, Keith Hackett immediately helped Philip Tang explain. Jack Taylor's influence in the English refereeing community is no worse than that of the current referee committee leaders such as Philip Tang and Keith Hackett. In the minds of those old referees, Jack Taylor is the status of spiritual leader.

If Philip Down and Jack Taylor do have a big conflict, then Philip Don and Keith Hackett will have a lot of headaches dealing with those old referees. Keith Hackett can't let that happen.

"I know. But this is too fast. ”

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person. Keith Hackett seems to be Philip Don's henchman, but this is only because Philip Don has a strong style, so it gives people the illusion. Keith Hackett is a real powerhouse on the refereeing committee and has a very good relationship with the FA's top brass. The relationship with Philip Don is an alliance, not a subordinate one.

Such a person explained to Jack Taylor, which is also a disguised apology. Jack Taylor isn't going to hold on to this either.

"We agreed that this game had a special meaning for Jack."

"Hope."
