Referee of the 230 World Cup final
'I think coach Scolari should review himself first.
The game is over.
Jack wasn't very happy. Because Portugal faked too many falls in this game, Jack continued to show yellow cards in the second half. Including Cristiano. Ronaldo, too, got a yellow card.
The Portuguese team was shown four yellow cards by Jack for faking a fall. By the end, Jack was a little angry, not ordinary. Even Jack has considered that if someone continues to fake falls, Jack will definitely not be stingy with red cards.
It's good that it didn't continue. That's why there was no red card.
Jack didn't like it.
Because such a situation can easily cause some controversy. Fake falls are a headache for many referees. Some realistic fake falls are almost a matter of mother-in-law saying that mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public saying that the public is reasonable. Therefore, many referees are very cautious in the judgment of fake falls.
For the current Jack, the most important thing is stability. Villar has made it clear that he wants Jack to officiate in this World Cup final. If you want to officiate the World Cup final, Jack must not have too much controversy in the World Cup semi-finals.
Such a good opportunity, Jack really didn't want to give up.
If a referee has officiated in a World Cup final, then he has really reached the top. And if you watch the opportunity for the World Cup final be lost from your hands, that is the greatest sorrow.
Jack certainly didn't want that.
So what Jack hopes most is that the game will be uneventful. Don't come up with any topics, or don't come out with too much controversy. However, the Portuguese team's continuous fake falls put a lot of pressure on Jack.
Jack's yellow card was also under pressure.
But Jack couldn't ignore it. After all, the Portuguese team fell in the penalty area, or gave a penalty. Either it's a fake fall. Of course, Jack could ignore them and not award a penalty. They can also not be sentenced to fake falls. Then there are many problems.
Not only will it offend the Portuguese team, but it will also have no deterrent effect. The yellow card that should be given is still given. Even if there was a controversy after the game and he was criticized by the Portuguese team after the game, Jack had to do the same.
Sure enough, after the game, the Portuguese team kept attacking Jack.
Cristiano. Ronaldo was the first to come out and lash out at Jack. He lashed out at Jack after the game and before he left the game. He began by commenting on the boos from the fans, saying: "I don't care, it doesn't worry me at all, I'm just going to keep doing my job." Try to help the team. ”
Then began to talk about the referee of the game, Jack.
"I don't think the referee was right. We had a couple of chances to take penalties but the referee treated them as fakes. However, he was very tolerant of Henry's fake fall and gave France a penalty. I don't understand what the referee's enforcement scale is. ”
Cristiano. Ronaldo did so, and soon Scolari also lashed out at Jack at the press conference.
"I can't believe that a 30-year-old referee should be in charge of the World Cup semi-finals. There are so many good referees in international football, I don't understand why such a young referee was chosen. He couldn't tell the difference between a fake fall and a foul at all. ”
Jack is not a good-natured person.
For many referees, they are reluctant to talk too much about the games they have officiated. Correct or incorrect, wrong or not wrong, the referee committee will finally give the referee an answer.
If you talk too much about a game. It's easy to offend one side. And it will also let itself enter the whirlpool of public opinion, which many referees try to avoid.
So even the top referees don't usually say anything about their game.
But Jack is different.
Since his debut, Jack has been in the whirlpool of public opinion. After all, he is the youngest Premier League referee, the youngest international referee, the youngest League Cup final referee, FA Cup final referee, and League Cup final referee in English football. It can be said that Jack has broken almost all records in the world of refereeing in world football.
And Jack has never been afraid to deal with the media, nor is he afraid to fight with coaches and players.
Therefore, after hearing Scolari's criticism, Jack immediately hit back at him: "I think coach Scolari should change his coaching style. As a world-class coach. Don't always try to win in a crooked way. Think more about how to win with dignity. Coach Scolari should keep his players from doing things that are unsportsmanlike. Because of the team coached by coach Scolari, there will always be problems like this. The performance traces are serious. If coach Scolari doesn't want to be a football coach. I suggested that he could change his career to become a director in Hollywood, and the level was no problem at all. ”
"On the football pitch I wish I never saw Scolari again. Because of the enforcement of his team. It would make me angry. I want to advise Coach Scolari to think about himself before complaining about the referee. ”
Jack really doesn't like Scolari.
As a referee, there are a lot of coaches that Jack doesn't like. Scolari is definitely the first one in the list. The dislike for him even exceeds that of Mourinho.
After saying Scolari, Jack immediately shot back at Cristiano. Ronaldo.
"For Cristiano, I would say that you are very talented, you are very strong. You can conquer world football with your strength and become the best player in world football. Having such talent and ability, but not knowing how to cherish it, and always making fake falls on the field, such a despicable thing, I would say that Coach Alex Ferguson needs to review. Before you think I'm wrong, let's examine my own faults. I am like this now, and I will always be like this, and I will have zero tolerance for fake falls at any time. I would like to appeal to FIFA and UEFA to impose additional penalties for such unsportsmanlike violations. It is precisely because the cost of fake falls is too low at the moment that they will be unscrupulous. ”
Grandma's.
Scolari doesn't say anything because he's the head coach of the Portuguese team. The odds of Jack touching him are not high, but Cristiano. Ronaldo is a Man from Manchester United. Although the current English media for the World Cup when it comes to Cristiano. Ronaldo and Rooney's affair is encircling him. But Ferguson has always been a supporter of him.
If Cristiano. If Ronaldo doesn't leave Manchester United, then he will have to face Jack every day in English football. With Bol making a big fool of himself in this World Cup. Once Jack returns to English football, he will be one of the best referees in England.
Even Jack's standing on the English referees committee would skyrocket. Almost to replace Pol. Under such circumstances, it is really fearless and fearless to dare to criticize yourself like this.
I really think I'm a mud guy.
In this game, Jack has been regarded as a merciful man. It's not interesting.
So Jack was sneering hard at Scolari and Cristiano. Ronaldo.
…………
"Jack, you're doing something extraneous."
Villar smiled wryly.
Now that the World Cup semi-finals are over, it's time to finally decide the referee for the World Cup final. Villar and Beckenbauer are both positive for Jack's side, because the current referee in European football, that is, Jack, is the best performer. It was at this time that Jack and Scolari, Cristiano. Ronaldo: What kind of verbal war are they fighting.
Things get more complicated. Now the two sides are arguing.
Umpire.
In any case, they are referees, not stars, nor coaches. Coaches can keep fighting. Then it was talked about by a lot of media, this is the coach's psychological warfare. Stars can be in the front pages of the media or even in the centre of gossip because they are at the heart of football. But the referee can't.
The referee is at most a supporting role on the football field, an important supporting role. The supporting role can never cover up the edge of the protagonist, otherwise it will be eliminated by the industry. As a result, most of the referees chose to remain silent.
But now with Jack fighting back against Scolari and Cristiano. Ronaldo, the whole media is very lively.
Some people think that Jack's decision is very accurate, while others think that Jack is wrong. In particular, the football legends on the Portuguese side have come out to criticize Jack.
Even Eusebio came out and said that Jack's decision was a disaster. Portugal should have taken two penalties. But Jack was given four yellow cards.
However, there are famous hotels in Portugal, and there are also famous hotels in France.
France has a much better historical record than Portugal, and there are many superstars from France. They immediately criticized the Portuguese team for all kinds of fake falls, including French heavyweight Michel Platini.
They are all criticizing the Portuguese team. The side is also supporting Jack.
And a lot of newspapers, most of them praise Jack. Not many people thought there was a problem with Jack's decision, on the contrary, it was the Portuguese team's fake fall that was disgusting. This is especially true of England and the Netherlands, which were eliminated by Portugal.
They have all played against Portugal. I hate this little trick of Portugal very much.
And some neutral newspapers are watching the excitement. Anyway, the World Cup is coming to an end. Until then, you need to sell more newspapers. Anyway, they have no interest in this matter, and they don't think it's a big deal.
It was at this time. The FIFA Referees Committee held a press conference. Villar personally attended the press conference and said to media reporters: "After consultation between our FIFA referee committee and the World Cup organizers, the referee for this World Cup final has been determined. Jack from England. Referee Lee will be the referee of the World Cup finals, and his team will officiate against the World Cup finals between Italy and France. ”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The reporters present were dumbfounded. Although there are people who are quick to hear some gossip early on, the FIFA referees committee intends to let Jack officiate the World Cup final. In fact, the reporters who can come to cover the World Cup basically have their own connections. So such news is not a secret. But it still surprised many reporters to really hear the decision of the referee committee.
Jack, in particular, is currently in the whirlpool of public opinion.
In addition to this, Jack is now only 30 years old, making him the youngest referee at this World Cup. Jack is already the youngest referee to referee two consecutive World Cups. It was really surprising for such a young referee to officiate the World Cup final.
Villar continued: "We chose Jack. Judge Lee because of Jack. In the five World Cup matches refereed by Referee Lee so far, there has not been a single major mistake. Referee Lee was 100 per cent correct on important decisions. Statistically, Jack. Referee Lee was 100% correct on offside decisions, corner kicks, and sideline kicks. Including the penalty for fouls and the ability to control the game, they are all at the highest level. It is because of Jack. Referee Lee performed like this, and we decided to let Jack. Referee Lee is in charge of the World Cup final. ”
Here are some of the journalists who have previously criticized Jack's semi-final decision and understood what Villar meant. The FIFA referees committee is strongly supporting Jack, saying that Jack's decision in the World Cup semi-finals was correct.
This can be said to be a clear answer from FIFA to the previous boiling matter. It is also to tell everyone that the few falls of the Portuguese team are really fake falls.
"We believe in Jack. Referee Li will be able to officiate the World Cup final perfectly. (To be continued......)
