"In the first class, I didn't say anything specific. I just want to ask you something. What do you think a referee should be, or what the most important characteristic of a referee should be. ”

Jack is already completely relaxed.

The FA is now protecting referees who are about to officiate at the World Cup and prevent them from officiating controversial matches. Just let them officiate some less important games.

Bol and Jack, who are about to go to the World Cup, are more preparing for how to enforce the World Cup than the law enforcement of the league.

So it's very relaxing.

Since it was easy and there wasn't much to do, Jack had plenty of time to be a lecturer.

And now that it's here, Jack's idea is simple. What he will do in the future, and whether he will continue to stay in the refereeing world, Jack himself is not clear now. But if you really want to continue to mix in the refereeing world in the future, especially in the referee committee, it is necessary to have the support of several heavyweight referees under your hands.

Jack will enter the referee committee in the future, but he doesn't want to be a kowtow and have no power. However, if you want to gain power in the referee committee, you need to have enough support.

Train a few people here now, and it is estimated that they will be able to be used in a few years. Fourteen or fifteen years later, when Jack retired, it is estimated that many of these referees in their twenties will be able to enter the Premier League as referees. When the time comes, it will be its own power.

So Jack is more attentive.

"Fair."

"Impartiality."

"Strict."

Talking nonsense, many referees have expressed their opinions, and the most they say is "fair" and "just". However, for the referee who said "fair" and "just". Jack just laughed. They are all gnawing books, and their heads are gnawed.

Jack thinks he's a good referee, but Jack never thinks he's a clean referee.

This includes those Premier League referees who are part of the referees' committee. Jack never thought they were all clean referees. There are a lot of referees who want to make extra money. There are also many things in these extras that are related to the market.

But as long as it's not blatant, then none of this is a problem.

There are even referees who have a relationship with the bookmaker. But as long as there is no hard evidence, there is nothing wrong with them. It's not a big secret in the industry. Of course, with the increase in the income of referees now, many referees will not say that they want to blow the black whistle.

But it's not without black whistles.

There are even times when the FA deliberately needs to suppress some teams in certain competitions for the sake of the league to prosper. Keep the league competitive. And this is when the referee needs to help.

In that case, how do you say it should be evaluated?

And this kind of thing is not uncommon. Does he agree with such things as "fairness" and "justice"?

Of course, Jack is not going to tell this group of young referees these things, and when they reach a certain point, they will naturally understand. So Jack said, "There is a saying that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people." In fact, referees are the same, any referee has his own opinion on the profession of referee. I'm a lecturer though. But I don't ask you to share my opinion. ”

"I would like to sum up my refereeing career myself. If you want to be a good referee, in addition to your professional ability, I think you only need to meet two conditions. One is unanimous and the other is decisive. ”

Experience.

For many talented referees, experience is the most valuable.

There are geniuses and ordinary people in any industry. In the refereeing industry, there are a lot of talented people. However, the reason why the referee was not able to reach the top until he was thirty-five or sixteen, when he was almost forty years old, was not only because the referee paid attention to seniority.

It's more because of the lack of experience of young referees. Young referees lack experience and will not be able to control the pace of the game in some big games.

And Jack lectures. It's about giving them your experience. As for how much they can comprehend, it depends on the individual's talent.

"Consistency is actually simple. It doesn't matter if you prefer a harsh scale or a looser sentence. Just remember that the penalty is the same for both teams. The same standard. There's one more game, consistent penalties. Don't change the scale of the game. If you can do that well, you're already a successful referee. Even if there are some mistakes in the game. The referee will not be blamed too much. ”

"As for decisiveness, it goes without saying. I'm not going to say much about that. Everybody knows what that means. ”

In fact, what Jack said is also a cliché.

A lot of times that's what experience is. So many old referees, after a hundred years of accumulation. They left a lot of stuff behind. In fact, it all adds up, and most of the referees have basically the same experience.

Young referees have to learn from their experience, but how much they learn depends on the talent of each individual. And you need to feel those things yourself to become your own.

"Jack. Referee Lee......"

"Just call me Jack."

Jack was only thirty years old, and he was thirty-one years old in a few months. Although these people are young in front of him, Jack thinks he is also young. So it's better to be casual, and Jack doesn't want them to think of themselves as little old men.

"Jack, let me ask. Do you think it is better to be stricter or looser in law enforcement? ”

A very immature person,

If you were to judge him by his physiognomy alone, you would even think that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Of course, the referee in front of him is indeed very young, only twenty-one years old this year.

He was able to appear here, so to speak, because of a deep background.

Because judging by his resume, he didn't have much experience in the lower leagues, and he didn't do much. He has been a lecturer for a while since he got his referee qualification. It is for those who want to take the referee certificate as a lecturer.

There are a lot of them, and if they want to be first-team referees, they need to start in the lower leagues. But Oliver's ability to come to this training class shows that there must be a top figure in the refereeing world pushing behind the scenes.

Jack is not surprised by such a thing.

Nearly half of the current training course is like this. After all, the referee industry is still a relatively closed environment. If you want to get ahead in this industry, you must have enough connections.

Just like Jack became an assistant referee in the Northern League back then.

"I can't answer that question."

Jack shook his head, then looked at him and said, "Michael, what do you think?" ”

"Strict."

The immature referee replied very dryly.

Jack smiled. The referee with this immature face in front of him is called Michael. Oliver, this time into the training session, Jack believes he will soon be able to enter League Two enforcement.

It may skyrocket in the next few years.

Such young referees are worth investing in and developing. In this training class, Jack took a fancy to several good seedlings. Oliver is one of them.

"Why?"

"I think it's the trend. It will also be a requirement for English referees in the future. ”

Hearing Oliver's answer, Jack couldn't help but laugh.

Because Oliver's answer satisfied Jack more than any answer. The referee who mixes well in English football, or in world football, is definitely not the strongest referee.

It's the smartest referee.

A referee who can comprehend the mind of the referee committee will be the referee that the referee committee focuses on cultivating. Like Clattenburg, he was originally a referee vigorously cultivated by the FA, but his status has gradually deteriorated in recent years.

What is the biggest reason.

It's not that Clattenberg's strength can't do it. Rather, Clattenberg has some tendons. He doesn't understand the meaning of the above, and he is much worse than others in arranging the meaning of the above. Like Webb, and Jack, they would never go up against it.

Some simple things will follow the above meaning.

Therefore, they are all referees that the FA focuses on cultivating. And smart referees are able to judge a trend and follow it.

"So what do you think of our English football traditions."

"I think our tradition is physical confrontation, not brutal fouls. To distinguish this. Savage fouls should be severely stopped. ”

Jack nodded, then sat Oliver down.

Didn't say Oliver was right, didn't say he was wrong. Instead, he said directly: "There are many such arguments within us, and no one can say who is right." In the Premier League, referees from Clattenburg are in favour of strict enforcement, while referees from Dodd believe that the traditions of English football should be respected. Each of them has his own reasoning. And the referees of a league are all the same style, and they lack fun. ”

"Okay, that's all for today. We won't talk about that in the next lesson. I'm going to show you some of the controversies that have been playing in European football for the last decade and we're going to discuss them together. ”

Jack is really serious.

When I was a referee, I collected a lot of controversial games and had to be discussed in class. I also learned more about the students here to see if there are more good seedlings and then incorporated them into my command.

"Jack, is it really possible to be a good referee if you are consistent and decisive?"

The class was over, and Jack walked out.

Oliver caught up and asked Jack. Jack smiled as he walked, "That would have a basis for the referee to succeed." As long as there are these, the average Premier League referee is not a problem. But if you want to be a top referee, that's just the basics. A top referee, more than that, needs control, the ability to control the game. ”

"A true top referee is more than just being a referee. It's about putting yourself in the game. But that's not something you can learn in the classroom, he needs to have enough experience. Work hard and enforce the game more. Even those games in the lower leagues, don't underestimate them. It's a great place to gain experience in the game. By the time you have enough experience, you'll understand what I'm saying. ”

Jack patted Oliver and left there. Leave Oliver alone to think about things. (To be continued......)
