"Me?"

Jack stared at Keith with wide eyes. Hackett and Joe. Geist two people. At first it was incredulous, but soon it was ecstatic.

Accidentally? No, it should be said that it was a surprise. Great joy, really great joy.

Keith. Hackett and Joe. Geist gives Jack a FIFA notice. The content inside is very simple, without a few words. It stated that because Gallagher failed the final physical exam, Jack, a candidate referee, was included in the World Cup referee list.

Of course, Jack also has to go over for an assessment.

As long as Jack passes the FIFA assessment, he can become a World Cup referee. This World Cup referee is not the same as the international referee. An international referee is to show that you are qualified to officiate international competitions.

But whether you can enforce international competitions depends on the actual situation, and it belongs to you to get a qualification.

Just like Jack.

In addition to Bol and Conor Gallagher, the other international referees from England are officiating in the Union Cup. And Jack and Webb, two new international referees, can nominally officiate many international matches, but in fact they have officiated in the League Cup play-offs.

There was not even an official UEFA Cup group stage.

In other words, international referees are just a name, and only if you have a certain level of strength and qualifications can you officiate important international competitions. Otherwise, international referees are just titles, and they don't even have the opportunity to officiate international matches. This is international refereeing.

But the World Cup referee is different.

As long as you are selected as a World Cup referee. Then you have a chance to officiate the World Cup match anyway. This means that as long as you are selected for the World Cup referee list, then you can at least officiate one World Cup match.

World cup?

Don't look at the criticism of the World Cup now. But no one can deny it. The World Cup is currently the most influential football event in the world and the most watched football event in the world. To be able to appear in the World Cup. This is no ordinary honor.

"Is it really me?"

"Yes. This is a sent by FIFA to the FA. You have three days to report and they're going to test you. If you pass the exam, you will replace Conor Gallagher as the referee for this World Cup. ”

Jack looked at FIFA's big seal and was very happy in his heart. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to become the referee of the World Cup.

"I see."

"Jack, don't drop the chain this time."

Joe. Geist said very seriously to Jack. Gallagher's physical fitness was returned by FIFA, which made the FA and the referee committee lose face.

After all, Gallagher became the referee of the Premier League when the Premier League was first established. He is currently the top referee in English football on a par with Bol. In order for him to officiate the World Cup smoothly, many heavyweight matches and potentially controversial matches this season have been avoided by Gallagher.

I didn't expect it to be brushed off in the end.

The reason is not good. It turned out to be because of poor physical fitness. For a Premier League referee, it's a big joke. The Premier League is the fastest paced league in the world, and the referee's fitness is not up to par, so I can't say anything.

One shameful thing is enough.

Joe. Geist didn't want Jack to be returned after he passed, and then the FA and the referee committee really couldn't hold their heads up. Even when the time comes, the FA and the refereeing committee will not have the face to continue recommending English referees.

"I know, don't worry."

"Okay, let's go get ready."

Watching Jack leave excitedly, Joe. Geist smiled and shook his head. Said: "It's really shit luck." Jack, a young referee, always has good luck with him. ”

The World Cup referee had no intersection with Jack at all. With Jack's qualifications, it would be very fast to become a World Cup referee in four years.

Who would have thought. All of a sudden, Gallagher was returned, and then Jack, the most unlikely referee, was chosen. In fact, in the eyes of the FA and the refereeing committee, Webber is more suitable than Jack. In terms of age, qualifications, and performance. Webb is even better.

But FIFA chose Jack instead.

"yes. If he comes back from the World Cup this time, it won't be the same as before. Lee. ”

Keith. Hackett didn't know what to say either. Jack. Plum. This young referee, Keith. Hackett has not been very satisfied. Because Philip. Don promoted Jack that year. Lee's speed was too fast. Many old referees have complaints.

Of course look at Jack. Taylor's face will not be shown by everyone. But they were really unhappy with the young referee who was promoted too quickly like Jack. But no one thought of it.

Jack would have developed so fast. No more Philip. Don's support, as well as shit luck.

There are not enough international referees, there are not enough candidate referees for the World Cup, and now they have to go to the World Cup to enforce the law. In the current English football world, there are not many international referees, and there are even fewer World Cup referees. There are even fewer English referees who have officiated at the World Cup.

After enforcing the World Cup, Jack's status immediately came up.

At that time, Jack's status in English football will not be what it is now. At that time, he will be qualified to participate in many things in the world of refereeing. Hackett couldn't ignore Jack either. So Keith. Hackett sighed.

"yes. In the future, you can't be a referee for a small character. ”

…………

"Congratulations, Jack."

"Jack, do a good job."

"Come on, Jack."

The news is always fast. When Jack had just received the FIFA notice, it didn't take long for everyone to find out about it. Many friends began to congratulate Jack, and even the referees who were usually in average relations called Jack to congratulate him.

Everyone knows that Jack is about to make another giant leap. Jack will soon become one of the most powerful referees in England.

As for that unlucky guy Gallagher, no one paid attention. The focus is always on the winner. As for the losers. Who cares.

"Thank you."

"Don't worry."

"Okay."

Jack took all kinds of calls one by one. Jack has other things to do now, but it's impossible to slow them down. After all, these people don't look at the current status in the refereeing industry in English football is not as good as Jack. But in terms of qualifications, Jack is all over.

As soon as Jack is even the slightest bit inattentive, they will say that Jack is arrogant.

"Teacher. I'm so sorry. ”

Jack was the first to come to his teacher. After all, the first thing Jack wants to tell his current achievements is his teacher. And I also went to learn from my own teachers, no matter how I said that my teachers were the only referees in English football who had officiated the World Cup final.

Didn't expect to be in Jack. Taylor's home received so many phone calls. Jack couldn't help but take it.

"It's fine."

Jack. Taylor looked at Jack with a kind gaze. Kindness indeed. Jack. When Taylor first met Jack, Jack was a nineteen-year-old child.

At that time, Jack was still very young and naïve, and he had just qualified as an English referee. But I didn't expect that it had been almost eight years in a blink of an eye. Jack also went from being a nineteen-year-old child to soon being twenty-seven.

Eight years, eight years.

Jack. Taylor watched his little disciple go from a rookie referee to an international referee. Now you can still watch Jack become the referee of the World Cup. In Jack. Taylor has no difference between his little disciple and his son in his heart, he carries his greatest expectations.

For their own youngest disciples. He had high hopes. And Jack lived up to his expectations, even better than he imagined. At the age of twenty-six, he became the youngest international referee in world football and the youngest referee in the history of the World Cup.

"Jack, you're not a young referee who has just debuted now, and you have enough experience in law enforcement. I won't say anything, just talk about the World Cup. Anyway, you have to keep in mind that everything else in the World Cup is fake. There is only one thing, and that is to be strict. ”

Jack. Taylor imparts some lessons to Jack. Jack, of course, listened. Compared to his own teacher, Jack is still far behind. His teacher was one of the best referees in world football back then, and he was the referee who officiated the World Cup finals. His experience is invaluable for young referees.

"It's the best decision to not be controversial at the World Cup. Be strict. Strictly speaking, it may be criticized. Think the game is not smooth. But for referees, strictness is never a problem. ”

"Yes, Teacher."

"And. Be sure to remember. You must communicate more with the assistant referee, you are not familiar with them after all. They don't have to give you face either. If they don't deserve to be with you, others will see you laughing. Instead of blaming the assistant referee. You are young, and you should never be thought to be arrogant. ”

"Yes."

The World Cup is not the Premier League. In the Premier League, you can work with assistant referees you are familiar with, and even referees at the level of Bol and Gallagher can appoint their own assistant referees.

Even if you don't know the assistant referee, you know each other. There won't be much conflict.

But not at the World Cup.

Even the enforcement of the World Cup does not mean that a referee brings his own referee team, but a mixed mix. For example, Jack is the referee from England, but the assistant referee is likely to be from Asia, from South America, and it can't be from England anyway.

In other words, the World Cup referee and the World Cup assistant referee are not from the same country.

This kind of law enforcement is more difficult. All that is needed is good communication between the referee and the assistant referee. If you're in the Premier League, the referee is in a very high position, and you can beat those assistant referees. Even if the assistant referee is really unhappy with the referee, he will not find fault with you in the middle of the game.

But these assistant referees who are not in the same league as you have no reason to look at your face. If they don't deserve you, you'll be laughed at all over the world as the referee.

"Alright, go behave well." (To be continued......)
