68 I'm Sorry, Owen (Part II)

'The yellow card is too serious. Apex Novel xstxt. ”

Hollier came to Clattenberg and complained to Clattenberg. Liverpool have started the season as a two-leader team, with Houllier and Evans in charge of Liverpool.

It's a pity that there is a good saying, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, unless it's a male and a female.

Houllier is the French coach and Evans is the Liverpool sitting. Houllier came with the trust of Liverpool's hierarchy, and Evans is a famous Liverpool legend, who has been at Liverpool since 1965. Most of the current Liverpool players are Evans' disciples.

One is a raptor crossing the river, and the other is a deep-rooted ground snake.

How can two people get along together. After all, one is a French coach and the other is a coach who grew up in an English football environment, and the coaching styles of the two sides are different. When the time comes, whoever listens to whom.

Therefore, since the two men became Liverpool managers together, the contradictions between the two have always existed. It's so serious that many players don't even know who to listen to.

Recently, however, Liverpool's top brass have been slowly leaning towards Houllier.

"Coach Houllier, you should know what kind of movement this movement is. Fortunately, the swing just now was not large, otherwise it would have been a direct red card. ”

Clattenburg may also be in the lower leagues, but before Jack came out, he was the youngest and quickest-promoted referee. Clattenburg was promoted even faster than Webb.

And on experience, Clattenberg has more than Jack.

Therefore, even in the face of Hollier Clattenberg, he was not nervous at all, but explained to Hollier with a smile. Of course, it is also because Houllier's deterrent power is not good. Although he is a famous French coach, he has not had any outstanding results in his club career and has only just arrived in England. For English football, Houllier is not a great figure.

"But this is England."

Hollier, as the head of France, actually said such a thing.

"English football doesn't allow this kind of arm swing either."

Clattenberg explained to Houllier without haste. However, Clattenberg admired Jack very much. A few months after the 98 World Cup, Owen is still the hottest star in English football.

What English football expects from Owen is something that no other football can understand. The current English football world regards Owen as a savior. In the eyes of the English media, Owen is everything, the biggest treasure of the future England national team.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of such a favored player, everyone turns a blind eye. Just like the foul just now, the defenders didn't complain, and they could have closed their eyes. But Jack dared to give Owen a yellow card.

But what Clattenberg didn't know was that Jack was already staring at Owen.

What if you're a boy chasing the wind? What if you're a jewel of English football? What if you're England's golden boy?

At most, the media will praise you and the fans will praise you. There was no deterrent at all for Jack. Owen is very famous now, but the deterrent power of referees like Jack is far less powerful than those veterans.

The best referee is the one who disappears in the middle of the game?

This is what many commentators like to say very much, and it is also a truth that most fans believe in. But in the eyes of a judge like Jack, this sentence is bullshit.

Indeed, the referee who can be invisible in the game, his ability is very remarkable, and he is definitely the strongest referee. But the referees who can really go down in history are not because of their excellent decisions. If the referee does hide in the middle of the game, who knows your credit.

Like Jack's teacher, Jack Taylor, he was able to become the first referee in England and even leave his name in the history of world referees. It's not because of how good his stealth skills are in the game list he officiated, but because he has to do with the fact that he awarded two penalties in a row in the World Cup final. In front of superstars such as Beckenbauer and Cruyff, he awarded penalties in a row, and this was the most glorious moment of his life.

There is no such classic penalty as a referee, and when you are an invisible referee, who knows who you are. There may be such referees, who do not care about fame and fortune, and just want to enforce the game well. But this is definitely not Jack's idea.

Jack's idea is to be the best referee in world football. A referee who has been affirmed and appreciated by everyone. In today's information age, if you want to be such a referee, you must have enough topics. Referees must have enough performances during the game.

So after Jack's game started, he kept an eye on Owen.

He has enough fame and strength, but he is very young and has no strength to actually affect the referee. It is best for Jack to use him as the object of Liwei. Of course, Jack won't go to Owen's bad luck for no reason, which will be his own bad luck. After all, Owen is too famous, and if he finds fault with him for no reason, he will get into trouble.

So Jack was waiting for Owen to make a mistake. Maybe some referees turned a blind eye to the foul, but Jack wouldn't let it go.

"Gerrard, Gerrard broke Sean Davies' ball. Fulham were not strong as a whole today, and Steven Gerrard, a young player, did not have many opportunities to perform. But this ball is a good grab. ”

Steven Gerrard is a young talent who has been nurtured by Liverpool's Academy and has just started playing for Liverpool. Sean Davies, on the other hand, is a talent who has been cultivated in the Fulham Academy and has started to make a regular in Fulham this season.

Of course, the platforms of the two people are not the same. Sean Davies is playing in League Two, while Steven Gerrard is looking to establish himself in a big club like Liverpool.

'Steven Gerrard, give the ball to Borg. Borg, direct pass! ”

"Owen, Owen got the ball."

Because Liverpool is so strong, it is almost a siege. So Irving didn't have much of a chance to play with his speed in the game. And this time it happened to be a steal in the midfield, and then a counter-attack.

Although it can't be said to be a counter-attack entirely, because Fulham have enough defenders behind even when they are attacking. But for a player like Irving, just give him a chance to play with his speed, and then the opponent becomes dangerous.

It's the same this time.

Owen received a beautiful through ball from Borg and threw off the defenders around him with a single acceleration. Then the ball is fast and the defenses next to it are completely useless. None of them could keep up with Irving's speed.

"Owen, Owen is fast. Fulham were left with the number four player Cragher, who made a ferocious tackle. Irving, Irving fell to the ground, and it was a foul. If it was a foul, Cragel was a red card. The referee blows the whistle. ”

Owen was quick, while Fulham defender Cragel was ferocious and then made a tackle. Owen took the ball and then tried to break through but fell to the ground.

This is no small matter.

If a foul is blown for Fulham player Kragher, he is bound to get a red card. Because he is already the last defender in front of the goalkeeper.

"I didn't touch him."

Kraggle quickly stood up and spread his hands at Jack, who was running over. Nervously explained to Jack.

"I really didn't touch him."

Kraggle was very nervous and kept explaining in front of Jack. And the Liverpool players on the other side also came over. However, instead of besieging Jack, Paul Ince spoke to Jack on behalf of the Liverpool players.

"Mr. referee, it's a red card. It must have been a red card. ”

Jack listened to their respective explanations and did not speak. Instead, he pushed them away with a smile and came to the place where the incident occurred. Owen saw Jack coming, spread his hands and said, "Mr. referee, this is a deliberate foul." ”

Jack looked at Owen, who had an innocent expression, and motioned with his right hand for him to stand up. Then he made a gesture that it was not a foul, pointed to Owen who was slowly standing up, and said, "Kraggle didn't touch you just now." I could have thought that you did a protective move to avoid injury, and that's why you fell to the ground. ”

This situation exists.

Especially a lot of speed players, sometimes because they are blocked by others, or because they see someone else's outstretched leg. In order not to get hurt, jumping up or slowing yourself down will cause you to fall to the ground. These people didn't mean to fake a fall, but they couldn't control their speed.

"In that case, he didn't foul and you didn't fake a fall. But you fell to the ground and asked me to give him a red card, and I can only think that you faked it on purpose. ”

After Jack finished speaking, he took out the yellow card from his back pocket and held it high. Of course, he quickly put the yellow card in his pocket, and then took the red card out of his chest pocket.

I'm sorry, Owen.

I've been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, and it's only to blame you for meeting me at this time.
