Although the stakes were somewhat high, Jack eventually accepted Villar's offer.

It is obviously impossible to get benefits without wanting to pay. Where in this world is there such a thing as pie in the sky. What kind of pay, what kind of gain. Villar has already shown the good, and Jack has to show some courage.

And although Jack's voice is a little heavier, it is the International Referee Review Committee that makes the final decision. Jack didn't believe that such a powerful institution would allow a junior like Jack to make a complete decision. Even if Jack did enter this institution, he would have been a minor at first.

Maybe the boss of this institution is either Villar himself or an absolute cronie of Villar.

Therefore, after Jack thought about it, he thought that there were still many benefits.

So willing to take over Villar's opinion.

However, before going to the International Referee Training Course, Jack had other things to do. It was a strong conversation in the second round of the Champions League group stage. The match between Inter and Bayern. Bayern away against Inter.

This is the real battle between the best in the Champions League group stage.

Jack is going to officiate this game.

"Mark, I really don't want to go to Italy to play the game. I don't like Italy. ”

"How?"

Jack's referee team arrived in Milan, Italy, as early as the day before the game. Then I stayed in a 5-star hotel in Milan. This time it was Mark who was the fourth referee for Jack. Halsey.

Jack and Mark. Halsey's relationship is pretty good.

The two have known each other for a long time. In the early days, when Jack was not yet famous, Mark Brown. Halsey also helped Jack a lot. Some heavyweight matches, Mark. Halsey also gave Jack a chance.

These referees who helped Jack in the early days, Jack remembers them all. The favor that can be repaid still has to be repaid.

Not only did the two have a good personal relationship, but they also worked together to open a big restaurant in London. Business is still quite good overall, and the two of them are preparing to open another branch recently.

We have a game tomorrow. Before the game Jack and Mark. Halsey spoke briefly about tomorrow's game.

Remembering the race in Italy, Jack shook his head.

"I don't know. I don't like Italy anyway. Every time you come here, something comes up. Remember the game of officiating Lazio a few years ago. I also cut off the game outright. I'm also very unhappy with the protection of the Italian stadium. Italy's side is full of football hooligans of all kinds. Officiating Champions League matches, Italy is in addition to Turkey. One of the places I hate the most. ”

Jack shook his head.

Superstition.

No. But Jack really doesn't like Italy. Every time you go to Italy to enforce a game, something bad happens. What's more, the on-site protection measures in Italy are simply too poor.

Every time I go to Italy to enforce the law, there will be fans who make trouble.

Throwing firecrackers and incendiary bombs is the most common thing to do in Italy, and everyone is not surprised. In addition to this, fans will burn the chairs in the stadium whenever they are unhappy, which is completely common on the Italian side. No one cares about that, either. But such a thing seriously affects the progress of the game. In England there are very few such things.

In England, if a fan does that, they are locked in and never get a chance to watch a game again. England are doing quite well for the fight against football hooligans.

But in Italy, this is too bad.

The Italian Football Federation doesn't care about this kind of thing either. As a result, the scene of the Italian game was chaotic, with fights, racial discrimination, and disruption of the order of the game, and there were countless others. This made Jack very disliked going to Italy.

"The decline of Italian football is not without reason."

"Yes."

Serie A, the mini-World Cup of the year.

At its peak, it was one of the centres of world football. Most of the top superstars in world football are concentrated in Serie A.

Although even now. The giants of Serie A are still very strong. But the overall decline of Serie A is the general trend. Serie A's top stars have begun to flee, with La Liga and the Premier League already outnumbering Serie A.

Now everyone can see the decline of Serie A. The most intuitive thing about the decline is not the club's results, but the on-site situation in Serie A.

The number of fans in the stadium is getting smaller and smaller. All kinds of violence are rampant in Serie A.

These chaos will directly affect the development of Serie A.

Some people blame the current decline of Serie A on the just-concluded phonegate. But in fact, the decline of Serie A has long been a sign. It's not just about the economy, it's about management. The chaotic situation in Serie A will definitely affect the number of fans in attendance.

The small number of fans on site naturally affects the team's income. Affecting the team's income, it will definitely affect the team's purchasing power. These are all coherent. Now the number of live fans in Serie A is even surpassed by the Championship.

"Forget it. The decline of Serie A has nothing to do with the two of us. Or think about tomorrow's game. ”

"Yes. Both teams have a lot of thorns in the air and I'll have to keep an eye on them. Hopefully the game goes well. ”

For two teams. Jack has also done a lot of homework.

Both teams have a lot of players with very bad tempers. It is also a player that Jack wants to focus on.

"It should go well."

…………

September 28, 2006, the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Meazza Stadium.

"Hello everyone. This is the Meazza Stadium. The second round of the Champions League group stage will be played here, with Bayern taking on Inter Milan away. This is the strong dialogue of this round of the Champions League. ”

Although Bayern's results in the Champions League have not been very good in recent years, they are still Bundesliga giants after all.

The spirit is still very high.

As for Inter, the situation is very good right now. Because of the phonegate, the Serie A giants have been dealt a major blow. Juventus were relegated, Milan deducted points, and lost a lot of good stars. Many of Juventus' mainstays have been poached by Inter. Now only Inter Milan is left in Serie A. So everyone wants to see Inter's performance in the Champions League this season.

But none of this has anything to do with Jack.

Jack just needs to finish the game.

"Behave well."

Jack greeted them with a smile as he shook hands with the captains of both sides, Karn and Zanetti.

"The referee is looking at his watch. The referee of the match was Jack from England. Referee Li is also the referee who has just finished officiating the World Cup final. This is Jack. Referee Lee officiated in his first Champions League game of the season, and UEFA's intention to develop Jack was clear. ”

Jack did not officiate the first round of the Champions League group stage, but directly officiated the second round of the Champions League group stage. The game is the main event for Inter and Bayern.

In the most important matches in European football, Jack is a frequent appearance. Of course, Jack has officiated in World Cup finals, and there is certainly no problem in officiating some heavyweight matches.

At this time, Jack was playing against the fourth referee and two assistant referees.

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"

Jack and fourth referee Halsey counted together, and when the time was up, Jack immediately blew the whistle.

"Doot-doo-"

"The referee's whistle blew, and the second round of the Champions League group stage officially began."

The main reason for the strong dialogue is that there is a lot of psychological pressure, and the pace of the game is not necessarily fast.

This is the case with Bayern and Inter.

There may be some pressure on both sides, but the pace of the game is not very fast. Both sides started out with a few tentatives in midfield, with the ball mainly in the middle of the field. After the game began, although the two sides were just a simple trial, Jack had already seen that the players on both sides were highly nervous.

Jack had some surprises.

This is just a Champions League group stage, and it is not a battle of life and death. Both sides need to be so careful.

"Zanetti, give the ball to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic, Van Bommel hugged Ibrahimovic. ”

Although it was away, Bayern were more active.

It may be because Vieira got a red card in the first round of the Champions League group stage, so Inter Milan was a lot more careful in this game. Anyway, although it is their home stadium, Inter is more cautious. Ibrahimovic couldn't get his hands on the ball up front and this time returned to receive it near midfield.

Unfortunately, as soon as he got the ball, Van Bommel clung to him and didn't let him turn around. There is even a hug and fall action.

"Toot-"

In the end, it was Jack who blew the whistle to indicate that Van Bommel had committed a foul.

Because the foul is too obvious.

It's just that this place is a midfielder, and there are no dangerous moves, so Jack just whistles for a foul. Because there are a lot of such fouls in the game.

"Fuck you—"

Being thrown by Van Bommel like this, Ibrahimovic was very angry. So after turning around, he directly pushed away Van Bommel behind him, and then chattered endlessly, pointing at Van Bommel's nose and scolding. Van Bommel is not to be messed with either.

Although not a thorn like Ibrahimovic, he also captained at Bayern.

So Van Bommel immediately stepped forward and hit Ibrahimovic with his chest.

"Toot-toot-toot-"

Jack immediately whistled.

This game has just begun, and the two of you are standing up, which is completely faceless. So Jack immediately walked between the two of them and pulled them apart.

"Be honest with me."

"Don't overcomplicate simple things, just calm down. Come here, come here. ”

Jack was trying to appease the two of them, but he didn't expect Ibrahimovich to leave without listening to Jack's words. So Jack immediately raised his voice and asked Ibrahimovic to come over.

He emphatically said, "A warning, don't take my warning as a deaf ear. Watch your temper and watch your movements. I'll keep an eye on you. ”

It was supposed to warn Ibrahimovic and Van Bommel, but Ibrahimovic's indifferent attitude made Jack angry.

This kid is so proud.

I don't take myself as a referee at all. So Jack was a serious warning to Ibrahimovic. (To be continued.) )
