120 Controversy

"Did Thierry Henry's goal work?"

"What are the rules for quick free kicks?"

"The referee single-handedly guaranteed Arsenal's victory?"

"The protagonist of the game - the referee!"

"Hoddle thinks that Jack. . . Referee Lee is an Arsenal fan. ”

"Pire's fake fall? Arsene Wenger said he didn't see it clearly. ”

"North London derby - referee-controlled wins?"

It was supposed to be a high-profile match. Don't look at Tottenham's current strength, but the north London derby is a very old derby in England. Of all the derbies in England, they are no worse than national derbies like Manchester United and Liverpool.

The north London derby, and even in European football, is the number one derby. If there is a well-known derby in European football, then the north London derby will definitely be able to finish in the top 10. Even among all kinds of derbies in world football, the north London derby has the number one.

Attention is high.

And there are so many things that come out of the game, of course the media likes it. Thierry Henry's quick free-kick, Pire's fake fall, Ledley. Kim's red card, Tottenham's complaints, including Arsene Wenger's foolishness.

Everything in the derby is there.

There were goals, there were disputes, there were red cards.

Of course, the best is controversy. Controversy is news, and newspapers are covering the game. Of course, the newspaper's main concern is not Pire's fake fall, nor is it Ridley. Gold's red card.

Because of Pire's fake fall, it's very simple.

In slow motion, you can clearly see that Piret and Ledley. Kim had no physical contact at all. Piret was clever at playing, but it was an unmistakable fake-throw.

For this, many people speak highly of Jack.

Every time Jack gives a fake fall, he can't say it's 100% right, but most of it is right. Because there are some fake falls, and even each referee's point of view is different, there will be controversy.

But no one said that Jack was misjudged in the fake fall. Even if it's a referee who doesn't get along with Jack. Nor will he say in good conscience that Jack's punishment for the fake fall was wrong.

This time Pire's decision was the same. Everyone was praising Jack for his fiery eyes. Pire's clever fake fall was recognized by Jack at a glance.

That's strength.

As for Ridley. There are not many people who dispute the red card of gold.

It's not the same as the excited fans in the game. They only know that the referee is not good for them, and they will boo. But in the eyes of professional referees and football commentators. Ridley. King should have been sent off with two yellow cards when he tackled Thierry Henry in the first half.

Jack's ability to tolerate him being penalized in the second half was already enough to give him face. There are no problems.

But here's the problem.

There was only one that the media paid the most attention to, and that was Thierry Henry's goal.

Was it Jack's right decision or Tottenham's complaint?

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

Because this kind of quick free-kick is the first time in English football. In the past, fast free kicks were basically taken near the midfield, in order to speed up the attack.

Scoring in an almost sneak attack like Henry's. It's definitely a first in the Premier League.

There is a lot of controversy.

Jack was the referee in question, and there were a lot of media outlets that wanted to interview Jack. Needless to say, the Sun, which had a collaboration with Jack, quickly informed Jack. Jack is expected to write a column in The Sun about fast free-kicks. Because it's the hottest topic right now.

There were other highlights in this round, but they were all suppressed by the news of the north London derby.

Jack's status in the refereeing world has risen significantly in recent years, and the column for Jack as a partner "The Sun" is also getting bigger and bigger. Of course, the cost of cooperation is also getting higher and higher.

Although it is not yet to the point where you can have a page, half a page can be reserved for Jack.

Jack wrote down everything that happened in detail.

Henry asks: Can I send it fast?

Jack agreed.

Then Jack clearly wrote this paragraph in the column: "Free kicks, there has never been a rule that says the referee must blow the whistle before it can be released. This has always been a delusion for everyone. Because everyone was sentenced like this before, everyone took it for granted. However, there is no mandatory clause in the rules of football for this. ”

"The choice of free-kick is up to the attacking team. The attacker can ask the opponent to retreat beyond the 10-yard line, then it is an official free kick. They can also be asked not to retreat to the ten-yard line, but they can opt for a quick shot. This is all the right of the attacking side. ”

"Because the foul itself is about interrupting the rhythm of the attacker's offense. Therefore, the handling of free kicks is also one of the rights of the attacking team. Henry's quick free-kick didn't have any problems with the rules. And both FIFA and UEFA encourage such attacks. ”

Then Jack also wrote a whole bunch of football rules, especially the referee rules.

For these football rules and referee rules. Jack's back is ripe. And the right to take a quick free kick is already on the referee. As long as the referee doesn't explicitly blow the whistle, a quick free-kick is fine. The referee has the absolute right to interpret this aspect.

Of course, it's not impossible for the defending side to do so.

They can send individuals to interfere with the attackers and not let them take quick free-kicks. And also look at the performance of the referee. If the referee signals the defender to put up a human wall, then it means that the referee will blow the whistle.

In fact, according to the process, it was not Henry who spoke to Jack first.

Instead, when a free kick is taken, the referee asks the attacking player. If the opponent needs to retreat to ten yards, then the attacking player can make his own demand.

Either let the defenders line up the wall and step back. Of course, it is also possible to ask for no crowd wall, which means that you can take a free kick quickly.

But no referee ever did that. So Jack heard Henry's words before nodding his head and agreeing to Henry's quick free kick.

Jack explained. But the controversy is not over.

Because after all, this is the first time, and everyone has an argument. Is Jack's approach right?

Even the referees had arguments within the committee.

…………

"Jack. From your match report, we don't think you made a mistake. In the application of football rules, it is very reasonable. Including a quick free-kick. There are no problems with the rules. ”

Hypocrisy.

Listen to Keith. Hackett's previous words, Jack was very contemptuous. Jack has gotten used to Philip all these years. Don's resolute style of doing things. Philip. Don is open and honest about everything, and he won't go around the bush with you. So for Keith. Hackett has some crooked attitudes. Jack is despised.

As the chief referee, a small referee like Jack. If you have something to say, just say it. But it's not happy, this guy is now the chief referee after all, and Jack has to give him enough face on the surface.

"But, Jack. Originally, it was nothing, but now you have such a big controversy. Why didn't you tell Henry at the time, wait for your whistle. Then there won't be any problems. ”

Keith. Hackett is very good at mediating relationships, but his style is much worse.

"Mr. Hackett, the rules of football are something that every club, every coach, every player learns. Although they are not as comprehensive and systematic as our referees. But they still know the ordinary rules. The current grey areas like quick free kicks are not taken seriously by our referees, but that doesn't mean those players don't take advantage of them. If Henry hadn't asked me at the time, and had just sent a quick free kick and it went in, what would I have done then? ”

For different leaders, there should be different ways to answer.

Philip. Tang is strong, but he also likes a talented referee like Jack. In Philip. In Don's eyes, a genius referee like Jack has some thorns that are more worthy of attention. But attention is valued. Also Philip. Don is tough style.

You can show your talent in front of him, you can show your self-confidence, but you must not confront him, or offend, or question him. In that case. Taken by Philip. Don's character, must be angry. In particular, you can't work with him and question his judgment.

Just like Jack is his favorite referee, the referee he values more.

But when Jack opposed him at the beginning of the season, he didn't hesitate to give Jack a few dismissals. Let Jack be honest.

But Keith. Hackett is different.

He's very popular because he's very balanced. But again, he's not Philip. Don has such a strong character. Therefore, Jack treats him on the contrary, and he has to argue with reason. There is no room for weakness in this regard.

In front of him, it is not to show his sharp-edged talent, Keith. Hackett is not a fan of young referees. But it's your tough character that you have to show.

"Mr. Hackett, this is a question that we absolutely cannot avoid. When the time comes, Henry doesn't ask me and I will take a free kick. Should I have awarded him a goal according to the rules? Or should he be booked? Rather than the players giving us problems, we referees take the initiative. Isn't it a better situation? We are the referees, the ones who have the most power to interpret the rules of football. ”

"Jack. You're asking us to explain the rules first. ”

Joe. Geist watched Jack talk there, admiring him more and more. Joe. Geist is also an opponent of skipping promotions, but Jack is now an international referee.

The youngest international referee.

If Jack doesn't perform well, he can excuse himself with a sentence that he is still young. But once Jack performs well, then he is young and promising, and it is the glory of the whole English referee.

Now look at Jack's performance, Joe. Geist is preferred.

Controversy?

As a young referee, Jack did have a lot of controversy after many important matches.

But controversy is often followed by affirmation.

Liverpool were eliminated in the Carabao Cup, there was no controversy at the time. There was a lot of controversy after the game, but when everyone looked at the game carefully, no one thought that Jack was wrong. On the contrary, Jack's two penalties in extra time were admired by everyone, and everyone was sure. A lot of people think that in many other referees, absolutely no one has the courage of Jack to award two penalties in extra time. Especially the penalty kick at the last moment, many referees did not dare to give a penalty.

For that alone, Jack received a huge amount of recognition. Many old referees were originally looking at Jack's teacher to praise a few words, but at this time they were all sincere.

The North London Derby, there is no controversy.

There is a lot of controversy.

But except for Henry's controversial goal at the moment, the other penalties Jack has done a perfect job. Whether it's the refereeing community or the other commentators in football, it's all very positive.

Joe. Geist is the boss of the technical committee, and he is in charge of the technical statistics of the referees. Jack is a newcomer to the Premier League, after all, this is Jack's second season in the Premier League. Among the referees in the Premier League, they are also novices.

But in the current list of technical statistics, Jack is far ahead. It's even better than the statistics of Bol and Gallagher, two of the Premier League's top referees.

In terms of a lot of objective statistics, there is no referee in the Premier League who can compare to Jack.

What Jack lacks most at the moment is experience and authority. So there will be some problems with the flow of the game, but there will be no problems with other aspects.

Joe. Geist is in charge of referees' data management that will support Jack in officiating in this season's Carabao Cup final.

"Yes, Mr. Geyster. Although there are no very clear rules for quick free kicks, there are rules for them. We can't be passive, we have to take the initiative. I think it's been a good thing and we can tell you what we Premier League referees mean when it comes to quick free-kicks. So that there will be no such controversy in the future. ”

"Keith, look......"

Joe. Geist agrees with Jack. What the referee is, the referee should have the right to interpret the rules of football. Keith. Hackett looked at Jack and thought for a moment, "Jack, you go back first." Let's talk about it. ”

That's Keith. Hackett and Philip. Don is different. He can't jump to conclusions alone, and he needs to talk to others.

"Yes." (To be continued)
