"Haman, Haman...... Sherwood conceded under the siege of David Barty and Hamann, and Blackburn's midfield was no match for Newcastle. Newcastle completely suppressed Blackburn Rovers in midfield. ”

From the beginning of the game, you can see the contrast between the strength of the two sides.

One is the current Premier League powerhouse, and the other is the favorite team to be relegated from the Premier League this season. Just three or four years ago, Blackburn Rovers were Premier League champions and had a very strong midfield.

It's a pity that Blackburn has been losing blood incessantly in recent years, and he is no longer Newcastle's opponent at all. Newcastle are a real powerhouse right now, with David Barty, Speed Speed, Hamann, Solano in midfield and monsters like Alan Shearer up front.

The current Blackburn midfield is only supported by Sherwood.

But no matter how strong Sherwood is, he is alone. After all, he faced the main midfielder of the last League One champions, Leeds United, and he was also the main midfielder David Barty during Blackburn's rise.

And he's not alone. There is also the iron-waisted Harman from Germany. Before coming to the Premier League, he was the main defender of Bayern Munich, and recently the main defender of the German national team.

Not to mention Sherwood, even the best midfielder in European football at the moment would not dare to say that he could play easily against the two of them. Moreover, Sherwood will soon be thirty years old.

"Sherwood, Sherwood is going to break through...... Harman, Harman tackles! David Barty got the ball. ”

Sherwood was annoyed by the two of them. This time he was tackled by Harman again, so he yelled at Jack, "Referee Jack Lee, isn't this a foul?" ”

What Sherwood actually wants to say is that Jack Lee** is known as the king of the Anglo-African United and the English League C, so he won't be given a yellow card for such a tackle. Even if you don't get a yellow card, you should be given a foul.

Unfortunately, Jack didn't heed Sherwood's rant, so David Barty got the ball.

'David Barty, put the ball on the right side. Speed, Speed is fast, Speed crosses! Flores took the ball off. ”

When the attack was over, Sherwood caught up again and complained to Jack.

"Hamann just kicked me. I was tackled by Harman, isn't that a foul? It was a yellow card move. ”

Jack looked at the excited Sherwood and smiled, "Tim, you have to understand that not all tackles are fouls. Just now Hamann tackles the ball first and you just get tackled together. This is not a foul. ”

"Cut."

Jack looked at Sherwood's back and shook his head. Jack did have a lot of fouls in the Anglo-African League and the English League C, but it wasn't because Jack was against physical confrontation. On the contrary, Jack is a referee who encourages physical confrontation. It's just that in the Anglo-African League and the English League C, there are too many additional actions after the players have a physical collision. Coupled with their physical confrontation, there are too many dangerous moves. That's what Jack sentenced.

But it can be regarded as a false rumor.

Everyone just sees that Jack has a lot of fouls and thinks that he is a very strict referee.

When Sherwood was confined by Harman and David Barty, the whole of Black was completely passive. Of course, Newcastle's performance is also average, and the so-called "sexy football" advocated by Gullitt is also incompatible with Newcastle.

Fortunately, against Blackburn, who is not in a good situation now, Newcastle still has an advantage in terms of strength. Twenty-three minutes later, Solano's through ball was passed to Alan Shearer, who scored the goal that broke the deadlock.

So far, there have been no controversial balls. The game went smoothly.

However, when everyone found out that Jack was not as strict as he imagined, the body collision increased. Of course, a Premier League club is a Premier League club, and a Premier League player is a Premier League player. Their physical collisions were not as brutal as in the Anglo-African League and League C games.

"Hendry, long pass!"

Blackburn's overall strength was not good, and they were completely suppressed by Newcastle in midfield. The midfield couldn't get past them, so they had to take the long ball that England teams do best.

At the front of Blackburn Rovers is Chris Sutton, a former Shearer partner. This is a high school striker with a height of more than 1.9 meters, which is suitable for playing this kind of long pass.

"Sutton, Sutton retreats to catch the ball. Sutton, Hammam has obvious additional action on this ball. Hamann: It's a foul. ”

Sutton couldn't get the ball in front of him, so he had to drop back to get the ball. Hendry's long pass came and Sutton stepped back to catch the ball. But Sutton was about to jump when Hamann came over to catch the ball.

Hamann is also a 1.9-meter-tall player. This time he stood alertly, but he jumped a little later. So when he jumped, he wanted to hold Sutton down. Unfortunately, because the time was not mastered, the elbow hit Sutton's jaw.

This is the most common arm swing during take-off.

Harman felt it too. In the last uproar in the game, Owen was awarded a yellow card for the same action, so Hamann was ready to accept the yellow card after coming down.

Sutton, who was hit in the jaw, fell to the ground and complained to Jack.

But at this time, Jack didn't care about them, but made a gesture to continue the game. Because the ball had just landed at Sherwood's feet. David Barty was in the back and Harman had just tangled with Sutton, so Sherwood was in the right position at this time.

Jack's whistle was actually in his mouth, but after seeing Sherwood get the ball, he immediately indicated that the game would continue.

"It's offensive advantageous. Sherwood gets the ball and Sherwood passes it...... Duff, young Duff. Duff's cross! ”

Duff is a young talent who came out of Blackburn's Academy and has started this season as a first-choice left-sided midfielder at Blackburn Rovers. The performance was still quite good, this time after receiving Sherwood's pass, he did not choose to break through, but after looking at the opponent's position, he came directly to a cross.

The ball was passed in quite a few seconds.

Because Newcastle are in attack, the backline is slightly forward. Duff's cross, just behind the backline.

"Kevin Gallaher, Gallaher's beautiful anti-offside. Duff and Gallaher worked very well together on this pass, Gallaher ...... Gallah fell to the ground. There doesn't seem to be any interference, why did Gallah fall to the ground? ”

Andy Gray was surprised.

Gallaher's explosiveness is very good, and at the moment of Duff's cross, Gallah is immediately an anti-offside position. He was followed by Steve Hovey. Because Duff's cross bounced off the ground, Gallaher jumped up to stop the ball with his chest. As long as this step is done well, there is a chance to shoot directly after the chest stops the ball.

But after Gallaher jumped up, he fell forward very strangely.

"Oops, the referee's whistle remembers. Could it be that the referee is going to punish Gallaher for a fake fall? ”

The narrator was puzzled, but in fact, Gallah was also frightened. Gallaher shook his head when he saw Jack running quickly, then pointed at Steve Hovey and told Jack that he wasn't faking a fall.

Approaching the penalty area, Jack didn't face Gallaher, but stepped forward with his right arm and pointed to the penalty spot. Then he turned to Steve Howe and held up the red card.

"Why?"

Steve Howe spread his hands in surprise, then looked at Jack with wide eyes and said, "Why, I didn't do anything." He fell on his own, what does it have to do with me. ”

Jack looked at Steve Hovey with an innocent look and was really amused. These players in modern football, it is a waste of their talent not to act one by one.

So Jack stepped forward and made a push motion with his right hand, and said with a smile: "You think your action is very hidden." But I see this action clearly. Don't quibble. ”

Just when Gallaher jumped up and wanted to chest the ball, Steve Howe had a very stealthy move in the back. Because he almost stuck to Gallaher's body, he used his right hand very covertly and gently pushed it at the moment when Gallaher jumped.

Don't look at the action small, but for a player who jumps, the action is very deadly. After Gallaher jumped up, he put all his strength on his waist, but was pushed by Steve Hovey, and immediately lost his center of gravity and fell.

The time was very short, just pushed, and then immediately withdrew his hand. The distance between the two people is too short, plus the time is very short, so it is a very clever foul. It's not just the assistant referee's position that isn't good, Jack's position isn't very good. It's a foul that is not easy to spot.

Steve Hovey is smart.

It's a pity he ran into Jack. Jack's little movements, Jack completely saw it.

Jack gave Steve Howe a red card, awarded a penalty, and then turned to beckon Hamann to come over. When Harman arrived, Jack gave Harman another yellow card and pointed to the place where Harman had fouled Sutton.

"Steve Hovey's movements are very subtle. However, it still did not escape the eyes of the referee. The young referee Jack Lee is not only decisive, but also has a thief's eye. I didn't let go of the hidden action just now. ”
