"Michael, we haven't seen each other in half a year."

"Yes, Jack. Referee Lee. ”

Ahead of the second round of the League Cup, the referees had arrived. Jack looked at the fourth referee of the game, Michael. Oliver, greeting him with a smile.

Oliver is very intellectual.

When greeting Jack, his posture is very low.

Jack and Oliver first met at an English referee training class. At the time, Jack was a teacher and Oliver was a student of Jack. At that time, Jack had a great opinion of Oliver. Oliver was also just starting to referee the amateur league at the time. But in almost a year, Oliver has been doing very well in the lower leagues.

has already obtained the qualification of the referee of the football league. The promotion speed is no worse than that of Jack, Webb, and Clattenberg back then. This time Oliver was the fourth referee of the game, and of course it was Jack's arrangement.

Jack has been keeping an eye on England's young referees these days.

Currently followed by Jack's Craig. Posen is one, and this Oliver in front of him is one. All are very young, but show enough talent. There will be a place for them in the English refereeing scene of the future.

That's why Jack specially arranged for Oliver to come over as the fourth referee.

In fact, with Oliver's current status, he can't get this position. Jack is the referee, and the fourth referee for Jack is at least the Premier League referee. Even the average Premier League referee is not qualified to be the fourth referee for Jack.

Even if the status of the second round of the League Cup is low, it is not too rash to assign a fourth referee to Jack. But Oliver was appointed by Jack himself, and the referee committee had nothing to say.

Although the fourth referee. There is also a hint of holding back with the referee. But at the level of Jack and Webb, the fourth referee is basically the referee's referee group. It's impossible to go against the referee.

"Michael. I've looked at your enforcement this season. More stable than I thought. It's a lot of progress. ”

"Thank you."

Oliver is grateful to Jack.

Because Oliver was able to become the referee of the football league so quickly, Jack was behind the scenes. Because Oliver didn't have much experience before. I just went through a referee training course, and then I only have less than a year of experience as an amateur league referee. According to normal procedure, Oliver would not have been able to officiate League Two so quickly.

It was also thanks to Jack's help that he was able to become the referee of the Football League just now, officiating in League Two while also being able to be the fourth referee in the second round of the League Cup.

These Olivers know everything.

Of course, Jack wasn't the only one behind Oliver's back. But Jack's weight must have been very heavy. And Jack is also a big dock, and Oliver wants to dock in his heart.

"Come on, Michael. Introducing you to the partner of the game. Craig. Posen, the first assistant referee of the game. Steve. Hilton. The second assistant referee of the game. ”

The second round of the League Cup is only.

Jack could have put down his body and come over to enforce the law, but Brett. Vaughn didn't have time to come over and officiate a game like this. Brett. Vaughn is just an assistant referee, he has been a referee for so many years, and he has not been mixed with the referee.

But it's not that he can't be a referee, he can't be a referee. In fact, according to his qualifications, coupled with Jack's hard work, he can qualify as a Premier League referee. However, he himself has no ambition for refereeing and has never been a referee since the beginning of the lower league. But it is precisely because of Brett. Vaughn is content with the assistant referee position, so he has a high level of achievement in the assistant referee position.

Brett. Vaughn followed Jack. Already officiated in the World Cup final. This is already the highest honor for the assistant referee. What's more, Brett. Vaughn is also very young. I'm only thirty-four years old this year, if it weren't for Jack. Then he is the youngest referee in the history of the World Cup. Hence Brett. Vaughn was also busy and didn't come over to enforce the game.

So the assistant referee team who came with Jack today is Craig, who is very important to Jack. Posen. One is the assistant referee Steve Brown, who was transferred from League One. Hilton.

"This is Michael. Oliver. ”

"I'm Craig. Posen. ”

"Hello, I'm Steve. Hilton. ”

All three of them are not very old. This is in Steve. Hilton is the oldest. But he was only twenty-nine years old. But he also worked as an assistant referee in League One and didn't have much of a future.

Twenty-nine years old. There are also a lot of referees in the lower leagues. At the age of twenty-nine, he was still working as an assistant referee in the third division of England, unless he only wanted to be an assistant referee for the rest of his life, he basically had no future as a referee. With his ability, if he wants to become a Premier League referee, it is estimated that it is impossible to do it without ten years. It's still a case of someone behind the scenes helping. He came here today, just to make up the numbers.

In comparison, Craig. Posen is only 27 years old and has been a referee in League Two for a year. As long as you work out and have Jack's help, you can become a Premier League referee in a few years. At the age of thirty-two or thirteen, he will definitely be able to become a referee in the Premier League.

As for Oliver, not to mention. He is only 21 years old, but he is already a referee in the football league and is officiating in League Two. Even when Jack became the referee of the football league, he was not so young.

So several people introduce themselves to each other, but they are all looking at each other.

Especially Craig. Posen.

This season can get a different look from Jack, Craig. Posen is still very proud. After all, there are so many referees in the lower leagues, and Jack, who is currently the No. 1 referee in England, is the only one who supports him the most. has even been promoted to his own referee team.

In the Premier League, he used himself as an assistant referee.

At the start of the season, Craig. Posen officially entered Jack's circle. Later, Craig. When Posen went out, he branded Jack, and everyone knew that he was covered by Jack. For Jack's sake, his path will be much easier.

But today see Oliver, Craig. Posen knew that this son was more powerful than himself.

Really.

At the age of twenty-one, he is the referee of League Two. Craig. At the age of twenty-one, Posen was still a referee in the amateur league. Looking at Jack's appearance, he also attaches great importance to him. Maybe he can really become a Premier League referee at the age of 26 or 7. That might be a replica of Jack's miracle.

So he paid special attention to Oliver.

Jack is currently the No. 1 referee in England, and he has a wide network and power in the English refereeing community. But Jack isn't omnipotent either. There are only a limited number of places that Jack can promote, and so is Jack's strength. There's no way Jack can pull up all the young referees. Only a few young referees will be promoted.

If some people take more of Jack's resources, then others will not get them. So Craig. Posen is also keeping an eye on some of the young referees that Jack is promoting, as many of them could be his future opponents.

Oliver is also focused on Craig. Posen. In the refereeing world of the lower leagues, I don't know how many people envy Craig. Posen went shit luck. Unexpectedly, he was favored by Jack and entered Jack's referee team.

In addition to officiating in League Two every week, he will also go to the Premier League as an assistant referee. Don't look at it as just an assistant referee in the Premier League, but it was also a Premier League game, so you can accumulate a lot of experience and leave yourself a lot of seniority.

"Okay, everybody's got to know each other. Tomorrow we will officiate the game as a referee. ”

After a few people got to know each other, Jack interrupted a few people there to say something off-topic. Then Jack took out the information of the two teams in the game. Very detailed information.

The technical characteristics of almost every player are clearly marked.

Even the substitutes for both teams are available.

Including their technical characteristics, character, temperament, habitual movements on the field, etc. And it's all printed by Jack.

"You guys take a good look."

Craig. Nothing has changed from Posen, but Oliver and Steve. Hilton was really surprised. Because the information that Jack took out was too detailed. In the eyes of the two of them, such detailed information should be between rivals.

You're a referee, why do you have to do that.

Oliver's face changed the most.

Oliver has actually always been proud. After all, he was only 21 years old when he officiated in the English League Two, and he was also favored by many bigwigs in the English refereeing circle. That includes Jack.

While Oliver thinks Jack's law enforcement is good, Oliver thinks he can do it himself.

But seeing this information today, Oliver's heart was shocked very greatly. Sure enough, Jack's success was not accidental. With such a detailed analysis of the players of the two teams, it is no wonder that they can do so well in law enforcement.

In the Premier League, there are often funny things.

That's recognizing the wrong person.

When a red card is given, it often happens that someone else is punished because of the wrong person. In fact, this is all because the referee did not do his homework well before the game. Some referees only know the opponent's number during the match. Remember players by number. I don't even know the player's name. That's where this oolong happens.

But just look at Jack.

Such rigorous pre-match homework is well known to the players who are about to enforce the law. If such a referee is not successful, who can succeed.

"I don't care if you are the fourth referee or an assistant referee, you have to memorize this information. It is essential to know all the characteristics of the players. I don't want the referee to make a mistake in that during the game. ”

After handing them the information, Jack became serious. Not to mention the rest, Jack is very strict about his work.

"Yes."

Although Jack is not very old, only thirty years old. But for several others, Jack's height is something they need to look up to. Therefore, seeing Jack's serious expression, they all listened very carefully.

In fact, this is all Jack's preparation before the game.

Because Jack is a Premier League referee, he has more detailed information about the players from the Premier League clubs. Now this information is actually a simplified version. But it still shocked young referees like Oliver. (To be continued.) )
