9 July 2006, Olympic Stadium, Berlin.

World Cup finals.

It can be said that the World Cup final is definitely a big festival. Football is known as the number one sport in the world, and that is definitely not nonsense, nor is it blown up by football fans themselves. Football is literally the number one sport.

Just look at the ratings of the World Cup. On the day of the World Cup final, there will even be a large number of dignitaries, business celebrities, and celebrities who will come to the scene to watch the World Cup.

French President Jacques Chirac, Italian President Napolitano, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, South African President Mbeki, Austrian Chancellor Schüssel, and Prince Albert of Monaco.

Today, I came to the scene.

The Berlin Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, is already full of fans. They all arrived two hours early, and by half an hour they were already full. Except for the fans of the French team and the fans of the Italian team, the remaining half are neutral fans.

Of course, the heat of the World Cup is not limited to this.

According to statistics, this year's World Cup final will have a billion TV viewers. The world's population is now just over 6 billion, and almost one out of every six people is watching the World Cup.

Jack was already at the front, and behind Jack was Jack's team of referees. Further back are the players of both teams.

Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

Jack is no stranger. Because back in the group stage, Jack was here. Officiated the World Cup here. But when I come here again today, I feel completely different, and my mood is completely different. Sure enough, it wasn't the stadium that set off the game. It's the game that sets off the stadium.

The same stadium, different games, the feeling is completely different.

Jack looked at his watch and looked back at the players on both sides.

Italy and France.

It can be described as a group of stars shining, and it will definitely not humiliate the World Cup final. Zinedine Zidane, Thierry, Patrick Vieira, Claude Makelle, Thuram, Sagnol, Totti, Pirlo, Gianluigi Buffon, Cannavaro, Zambrotta.

All of them are the main players of the European giants, and they are all among the best players in their respective positions.

Jack has been standing here for a while. Because this is the World Cup final, there will be a World Cup closing ceremony before the game. It's about ten minutes. Jack waited until the time was almost up, nodded to his referee team, and walked out.

Players from both teams followed.

"The players have started to come in. Standing at the front is the referee of the game. The referee of this match was Jack from England. Referee Li is the youngest referee in the history of the World Cup, and he is only 30 years old. At the time of the last World Cup, Jack was only 26 years old. It has been less than a year since he obtained the international referee qualification. He has already officiated the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Even in this World Cup, 30-year-old Jack is still the youngest referee in the World Cup. ”

"He was able to referee a World Cup final, which surprised a lot of people. However, he has already officiated five games in this World Cup and has performed very well. According to the words of the FIFA referee committee, on the major penalty of this World Cup, Jack. Referee Lee made zero mistakes. ”

World Cup finals.

There are really a lot of topics.

Even the referee has a lot of topics. After all, Jack broke the World Cup records and was the youngest referee in the World Cup final. Before the game, Jack, a young referee, had already been noisy by the media.

The guide was when Jack entered the pitch. Immediately give a close-up of an old man in the VIP seat.

Of course, many fans don't know who this is, and they haven't seen this old man.

But the commentators who can explain the World Cup final are better than the other. One is more knowledgeable than the other in football, and you know who he is as soon as you see this person. Mortenson cheered even more: "Jack. Taylor, Jack. Taylor came to see the game in person. It's understandable, though, because his disciples are down there. ”

A lot of people in English football know Jack. Taylor. Speaking of which, Jack. Taylor is really a national treasure in the English refereeing world.

So as long as Mortenson calls his name, everyone will be able to know.

But for the other commentators, they need to explain: "Jack. Taylor, who was the referee of the 1974 World Cup final, is the only English referee in World Cup history to officiate a World Cup final. He was also the best referee in world football from the 60s to the 70s of the last century. In the 1974 World Cup, his law enforcement was admirable. He is here today because his disciple is officiating this game. ”

"The referee of this World Cup final, Jack . Referee Lee, it's Jack. Taylor's youngest disciple is also the most accomplished disciple. The two of them are the most legendary coaches and apprentices in English refereeing circles, and even the most legendary referees and apprentices in world football. Because the two of them are the only two people in the English refereeing world to officiate the World Cup final. And the two people not only have the same name, but also master and apprentice. The two of them are sure to be legends in the history of the World Cup. ”

Jack. Taylor found that the director was giving himself a close-up.

So smile at the camera.

It's really as the narrator said. Jack. Taylor was very proud, because the one below was his disciple. The refereeing world is a relatively closed place, although it is very simple to enter the industry and get the referee qualification is very simple, but it is very difficult to get through the refereeing world.

Without the care from above, especially without the master to lead the door, it is difficult to get out of the way. Therefore, many referees in the refereeing world are passed down from master to apprentice, but they can be like Jack. Taylor and Jack. Li is like this, and there is no one who has officiated the World Cup final between master and apprentice.

This is the only pair.

Jack. There's no reason Taylor not to be proud. After all, he has created the history of world football, and in the refereeing world, both of them have stood at the top of the world.

"Good luck."

"Thank you."

After all, it's the World Cup final.

Jack shook hands with Zidane and Cannavaro, all saying the same thing. How is it also the World Cup final, simply congratulate them, and wish them the future of the final. Then Jack and the four referees were on the table.

"Doodoo-"

In the much-anticipated World Cup final, Jack finally blew the whistle for the start of the game.

"Hello everyone, this is the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, and this is the final of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The match was played by Italy and France, both of which had big problems in their respective areas ahead of this World Cup. They weren't the favourites to win the World Cup, but they made it to the World Cup final. ”

The World Cup final in Germany is finally about to begin.

Before this World Cup, France was in a state of flux, and Italy was affected by Phonegate. But unexpectedly, both teams reached the World Cup finals.

France and Italy, as European powerhouses, have played countless matches. As old rivals, both sides are very familiar. However, this is a World Cup final, and even the seasoned stars on both sides are a little nervous.

"Toot-"

It's only been a minute into the game.

Jack's whistle sounded. Because the game between the two sides has just begun, the action is a bit big. The Italian team was in the attack and was counter-robbed by the French team. Vieira had just won the ball, still at the edge of his penalty area, when he was directly tackled by Zambrotta.

The action is large, and there is no necessary action at all.

There may be some referees who think it's an important game and let Zambrotta go. In fact, Jack can't let Zambrotta go, but Jack can't just pass by. Because Jack doesn't see the trend right.

This position was at the edge of the opposition penalty area, and the French team did not form a counter-attack. Even the Italian team did not pour out of the nest, there were still a lot of players at the back, and the French team simply did not have room to counterattack.

Patrick Vieira took the ball, and at most it was possession that came to the French players.

It can be said that Zambrotta was a completely unnecessary tackle.

Since it is unnecessary, a veteran like Zambrotta should not be. In this position, in this time period, and still unnecessarily tackled, either Zambrotta was testing Jack's penalty scale, or there was something wrong with his mentality.

Jack thinks more that it's a matter of Zambrotta's mentality. If you want to test the referee's penalty scale, you will not choose such a tackle. It's entirely possible to opt for some body ramming.

In the World Cup final, Zambrotta may have been a little nervous.

Jack has been a referee for many years, and he has always believed that a good referee needs to observe the development of the game and observe the mentality of the players. If you can't master these things, if you don't look at them carefully, you can't be a top referee.

It's like the match between Portugal and the Netherlands.

The referee of this game, in Jack's opinion, did not make many mistakes, and even did not make any mistakes in important decisions. The verdict is basically quite correct. But why did that game come out with so many red and yellow cards, why did that game get completely out of control. He himself was also sprayed by the media after the game, and finally had to go home.

It was because he failed to detect the direction of the game in time and observe the mentality of the players in time.

That's why it's like that.

Jack didn't want that. Jack couldn't let the game go that way, and he had to control the trend as soon as possible, so Jack stepped forward and showed a yellow card.

Jack was going to tell Zambrotta explicitly, tell the other players, and tell them all to be careful.

Don't look at the fact that this is just the beginning of the game, it is the first minute of the game, Jack should give cards or cards, and he will definitely not show mercy.

"This is the first yellow card in this World Cup final, and it came out very early. It was only one minute into the game and Zambrotta had a yellow card. (To be continued......)
