In novels and on TV, what is the protagonist like? As soon as you appear, you are a genius, and what a genius should look like. When a good opportunity falls from the sky, they will be able to grasp it.

can be a blockbuster when he appears, and he is unanimously praised by everyone, which is the treatment of the protagonist. That's the story.

It's a pity that Jack's first game didn't get such an evaluation. After the game, the referees gave Jack a passing rating.

was able to get a passing score because Jack didn't make any mistakes in this game. Of course, there were no controversial moments in the game, and Jack's penalty was decent.

But the problem is that the game is intermittent, and that's the biggest problem. In addition to the referee's judgment in the game, it is more important to ensure the smooth progress of the game and the smooth progress of the game. Jack did a terrible job in this regard.

There's a good saying. The best referees are the ones you can't see in the game. But in this game, Jack's presence was too strong, and he pressed all the players down. Jack became the protagonist in the game, and this was the most unsuccessful referee. Blowing a foul almost every two minutes made the whole game intermittent and unable to go smoothly at all.

After the game, both teams were unhappy with Jack, and both teams complained about Jack. Thinks Jack's punishment is too harsh.

Of course, that's all there is to it, and Jack doesn't get angry. It's Jack's "I'm sorry" that has become a joke in the refereeing industry. Originally, Jack was promoted by rocket, and he was an airborne backdoorman. Those old referees really don't like young referees like Jack.

Of course they were happy to hear such a funny thing now. The matter spread rapidly in the refereeing industry, and all the referees knew about it. When Jack was sent off by the referee as an assistant referee, Jack's fame was too small for few referees to know.

But that's no longer the case. At the age of 21, Jack became the head referee of the Anglo-African Union. When he first became the referee of the Anglo-African Union, the matter even went to the top, and the referee committee met to discuss. Therefore, the referees of the English Football League basically know the name Jack. There are countless referees who tell Jack's jokes and are ready to step on a few feet.

This distressed Jack. It's so humiliating that even Philip Don, who is Jack's full support, puts a lot of pressure on him.

"What, frustrated?"

Jack Taylor looked at Jack and smiled.

"A little. Teacher, I am now realizing that seeing and doing are completely different. And the referee and the assistant referee are also completely different things. ”

There is nothing to hide from his teacher Jack. Jack really smiled bitterly, he hadn't felt anything before. Jack is different from the other referees, who are part-time and usually have to work.

But Jack is currently the only full-time referee in English football. Jack is now out of college, and he is not looking for another job, and is still using his parents' money. Then all the experience was put into the referee profession.

Jack usually watches Premier League games and sees how the Premier League referees enforce the game. Watch the referee's running, watch the referee's enforcement scale, and watch the referee's handling. When he watched it, Jack always thought that it was not that difficult, and that he must be able to do it easily.

But as a referee, Jack understands that it's not that easy. Jack played a lot with Phil Dodd last season and was unhappy with Phil Dodd. But now I admire Phil Dodd very much.

To be able to make the game so hot, and to be able to make the game go smoothly, that's the ability.

"Of course it's not that easy to referee. Otherwise, why are there only about 70 referees at the national level? The Premier League, League One, League Two and League C together have a total of about 2,000 games in a season, and even more with the cup competitions. But there are only a few referees. ”

The referee is the core of the refereeing industry. If refereeing were that easy, referees wouldn't be so rare in English football.

"Know what your mistake was in the first game?"

"I know."

Jack nodded. It's so embarrassing that I said the word "I'm sorry" at that time. Jack later reflected. The biggest reason is that as an assistant referee, I have never made a mistake, and I can honestly say that I am right. Therefore, whether it is in the face of the head coach's protest or the siege of the players, he can confidently say that he is right.

But when I was the referee for the first time, I was a little nervous. In addition, it was indeed my own mistake at the time, so such a mistake occurred in a panic.

"You think I'm talking about your 'I'm sorry.'"

"Isn't it?"

Jack was puzzled. Jack's words have become a joke in the refereeing world, and in Jack's opinion, his teacher must be very angry. What kind of referee is Jack Taylor, that is a legendary referee in England, the first referee in the history of English refereeing.

As his disciple, he made such a joke, and Jack Taylor must have no face. Because of his own reasons, his teachers have become a joke. Therefore, Jack felt very sorry for his teacher.

"Of course not. It's not a big deal to make a joke as a referee. Especially a young referee like you. ”

Jack Taylor shook his head and said, "Come to think of it, it seems like I didn't have long been a referee. At the time, I was officiating in the regional leagues. At that time, there was no complete referee system and organization. ”

"I can't forget that game now. I was young at the time, and I was about your age. One of the players knocked me down during the game, but you know what they did at the time? They didn't pull me up, they pointed at me and laughed. You know because of what? Because I was young, the referees were older than they are now. They didn't even think of a young referee like me as a referee. Do you know how I felt at the time? Just like you, become the laughing stock of the refereeing world. ”

"There have also been cases where the player's ball was hit directly on the head because of poor positioning, and the fourth referee was replaced."

Jack looked at Jack Taylor with wide eyes and said in surprise, "Teacher, have you ever had such a time?" ”

"Of course. I'm also an ordinary person, and I wasn't born to be a referee. ”

Jack Taylor smiled. Looking at Jack Taylor's smile, Jack was surprised. Ever since Jack met Jack Taylor, Jack knew that his teacher was the best referee in the world back then. Jack knew that Jack Taylor was the greatest referee in the history of English refereeing. It can be said that in the English refereeing world, Jack Taylor's name is well-known. I never thought that my teacher would have such an embarrassing time.

"Any referee has moments when he is most embarrassed. Any referee will make a mistake at the start. You think you're ashamed now, but everyone has a time to be ashamed. So don't worry. By the time you're famous, these things will seem like a laughing stock now, and they'll be your best stories. ”

Jack Taylor wasn't offended by Jack for saying "I'm sorry." Jack Taylor looked at Jack and said, "What you did wrong was that you became the main character in the game. In world football, the rules are the same, but different leagues have different penalty scales. I want you to be strict in the first game, not to make you blow fouls for everything. You didn't understand the UK-Africa Union well, and you didn't grasp the scale, and that's the biggest mistake. ”

"Teacher, I understand."

For this game Jack was made a private recording. Anyway, as long as you have money, you can find a professional to record it. Although it is not as powerful as the Premier League, the effect is also very good.

Jack has been rewatching this game for the past two days, and he also understands that he has been too strict in the game.

"Don't take it personally. You can pay more attention to the next game. ”

Originally, the evaluation of the first game was not good, and a young referee like Jack estimated that he would not be qualified to enforce the law for a while. But in Jack's first game, in addition to Jack Taylor, there was also Philip Don who beat Jack.

Therefore, neither Philip Tang nor Jack Taylor will allow Jack to be denied the opportunity to enforce the law. Because of this, both of them lost. Therefore, they strongly supported Jack and gave him the opportunity to continue to enforce the law.

Of course, if Jack continues to mess up the game below, then it will not be Jack alone, but Philip Tang and Jack Taylor. Both of them will also be affected.

"I know, teacher."
