Materazzi held Jack in behind.

If it weren't for Materazzi in the back, Jack would definitely fall to the ground. Zidane was also stunned for a moment. Zidane himself is a very impulsive person, and the same is true on the pitch.

Among attacking players, Zidane's red card is definitely at the top. Although Zidane has always claimed to be a master artist, his number of red cards is incredible. A master of grace, he has 13 red cards in his career, many of them for revenge. There are even more red cards than some defensive players. Zidane's temper on the field can be seen.

The same was true just now.

Materazzi's words "I want your sister more" made Zidane furious. So at that moment, Zidane didn't have any consideration, and directly came to the top of his head. As for what the consequences would be, Zidane didn't think about it for a moment.

It's a pity that the top is wrong.

Because Jack wanted to pull the two people apart, he inserted it between the two of them, and Zidane went directly to Jack.

Zidane's lack of coolness is only temporary. When he found out that it was Jack, he immediately regretted it. If it was Materazzi, at least he would have taken revenge, and it would be nothing if he got a red card. But on the contrary, it was up to Jack, not only did he not take revenge, but the problem was more serious.

I was dumbfounded.

As for the French players next to them, they all looked at Zidane dumbfounded. They don't understand what kind of nerve Zidane is stunned. You, Zinedine Zidane, are the closest top superstar to the king of the ball among the active players, and everyone agrees on that. Even when the French team won the World Cup in this game, Zidane is really the king of a generation.

But even if you're the king of the ball. But you can't really be a referee on the field.

After all, that's a real referee.

As for the Italian players, they were also stunned and did not think of coming over to complain. Because for them. Zidane's is too fierce to explain in words. It is true that in world football, there are cases where players beat or retaliate against referees on the pitch.

But in the top flight. Or that the professional league is absolutely very rare, and even a slap can be counted. This kind of thing usually only happens in amateur leagues. Because for amateur players, a lot of them don't expect to make money by playing football. A lot of their amateur league questions are just hobbies, not their professions. Once the referee is not pleasing to the eye, then there are really many players who retaliate against the referee.

In community leagues like England, it's not once or twice that those players chase the referee. None of this qualifies in the news.

But professional players are different.

They still have to eat this bowl of rice. Whoever dares to make a shot at the referee means that the player is basically leaving football. The Football Association will definitely ban them, and it will be for life. But today they saw it, and it was in the World Cup final.

So are the players. The same goes for the fans.

Attacking the referee, even if it is after the game is over, it is a big deal to criticize the referee in front of the media. If it's more serious, if it's the coach, the coach will suspend the coach, and if it's a player, the player will be suspended.

The severity of attacking referees on the field is far greater than spraying referees off the field. Hao Haidong spat on the referee during the game, although he defended that he was not targeting the referee. But he was still banned by the AFC for one year.

And now Zidane's situation is even more serious.

It's an overhead referee. It is much more serious than Hao Haidong's spit at that time, and if it is serious, this can even be defined as a violent action. Although Zidane will retire after this game, once it is really considered to be violent to the referee, then Zidane will probably have to say goodbye to football in his life. It's hard to continue developing in football after retiring.

So for a moment the whole stadium was silent, and all eyes were on Jack. Some of the players who didn't see it were also asking the players next to them. What the hell is going on.

Jack became the center of the pitch in an instant.

One after another, the eyes of tens of thousands of people focused on Jack. It can even be said that hundreds of millions of people's eyes have come to Jack through TV, and they are all waiting for Jack's punishment.

Pressure.

It's really stressful.

How to choose?

For Jack, there was nothing wrong with that. First of all, Jack can be sure that Zidane is not targeting himself. This time, I was completely affected by the pond fish. Zidane's target is Materazzi.

This property is easy to define.

First, the two people were invective, and Zidane was completely defeated in the abuse. Originally, Zidane mocked Materazzi, but he didn't expect that he was provoked by Materazzi's words. Then retaliatory actions were taken.

Such fouls are common in football.

Jack has officiated hundreds of games so far. This foul is very simple. After the conflict between the two sides, the side that feels the loss takes revenge. However, many people retaliated with little action. I'm afraid that the referee will find out and retaliate.

But Zidane is Zidane.

Kicking is a world superstar, and there is only a thin line away from the king of the ball. The same goes for retaliatory actions. In this way, the above board should have a Materazzi on his head. There are no scruples at all.

Something like this is easy to punish.

Red.

Usually such a foul in a game is completely non-negotiable, and the red card can't run away at all. Even the slightest retaliation will be a red card. Just like the 98 World Cup, Beckham's retaliation action is very small, but as long as it is found by the referee, it is a red card. Zidane's move leaves no room for justification, it is a yellow card.

Of course, Jack will not retaliate against Zidane because Zidane has pushed himself, saying that Zidane is violent to himself, the referee.

But a red card?

Jack was hesitant.

Jack is a very decisive person, otherwise he would not have dared to award two penalties in the World Cup final, and both for France. In this game, other referees were changed, the first penalty was awarded, and the second penalty may not be awarded. Of course, more referees did not dare to award the first one, because the first referee was just starting the game. Few referees had the courage to start the game. Dare to award a penalty. This is especially true of the World Cup final.

Dare to award two penalties, without a little courage is not good.

But at this time, Jack was really hesitant.

Anyway, it's a World Cup final. A World Cup final, of course. Not qualified enough for Jack to hesitate. Jack hesitated, it was already the last moment. The game will be over in ten minutes.

And after all, this is Zidane's curtain call.

All these factors add up, and Jack is a little hesitant. Jack looked at Materazzi in the back, anyway, Materazzi was not injured in this matter, and Zidane did not really hit Materazzi. As long as you think that you and Zidane just touched each other, then it is not a big problem.

Although he thought about it a lot, it was actually just a short turn in Jack's mind.

That's three or four seconds.

Jack had already thought of everything in three or four seconds, and then walked in front of Zidane. Everyone was looking at Jack and watching Jack's decision. But Jack did not give Zidane a red card as everyone imagined, but after he got next to Zidane. He also beckoned to Materazzi.

Jack brought both Zidane and Materazzi to his side.

Then he first said to them: "There are only ten minutes left in the game, you all have to calm me, calm down." No more conflicts, I wouldn't mind letting you all go down for coffee early. ”

Listening to Jack's words, Zidane and Materazzi both looked at each other.

Because it's completely different from what they think. Both of them thought that Jack would definitely send off Zidane, but they didn't expect Jack to act as if he didn't react at all, just as an ordinary conflict.

Jack ignored their reactions, looked at Zidane, who had not yet come back to his senses, and said, "Zizu, restrain your temper." This is a serious warning. And a final warning. Don't turn verbal conflict into a physical conflict. It was my appearance just now that avoided a physical altercation between you, so I'll give you a chance. But such a good thing only comes once. The next time you turn a verbal conflict into a physical one, I'm sure you should know what the outcome is. I don't think you're going to end your career with a red card in a World Cup final. ”

For Jack, who has always been stern. It is absolutely very rare to make this a big thing small.

But Jack chose it this way. It's definitely not because I'm afraid of Zidane. Zidane is not the king of the ball, and he is not qualified to worry and scare Jack. The reason why Jack is ready to let Zidane go. It's because it's the last ten minutes of the World Cup final, and it's Zidane's last game, and it's also for the integrity of the game.

This power is really in Jack's hands.

If Jack says that Zidane wanted to hit Materazzi, he hit Jack instead. Then Zidane is undoubtedly a red card at this time. But if Jack had said a word, Zidane was just going to turn around and fight with Materazzi at that time, and did not attack Materazzi's behavior. It just bumped into Jack.

Then the ball is a warning at most.

Although Jack knew that Zidane's situation was the first case, he still chose the second penalty.

"Shhh

When it was seen that Jack had only warned Zidane and Materazzi, the Italian fans let out a huge boo for a moment. Because since the start of the second half, the French team has been dominating the field. After extra time, France also had the advantage.

And Zidane is the heart of the French team's midfield and the source of France's attack.

After extra-time, the most important chance to score came with Zinedine Zidane. Zinedine Zidane's late header came close to breaking the Italian goal.

Therefore, they all wanted Zidane to be sent off with a red card, but they were of course very angry when they saw that Zidane was not doing anything.

So the boos rang out.

"We don't know about Jack. What did Referee Li think, but Zidane could definitely get a red card for this ball. Believe it if there is no Jack. Referee Lee inserted between the two men, and Zidane's head must be Materazzi. ”

"The game was very decisive Jack. Referee Li was cowardly for a moment. He was afraid of Zidane and did not punish him. ”

Some of the commentators were also not satisfied.

However, not all the commentators were dissatisfied, and some of the commentators praised Jack very highly. Some even made up their own brains, saying, "Jack. Referee Lee is definitely one of the best referees in the history of the World Cup. Just after the clash between Zidane and Materazzi, he rushed to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. And before Zidane was furious, he had already discovered his intentions and quickly inserted them to separate the two of them. There was no real direct physical confrontation between the two of them, so they were able to handle it easily. This ability to control the game is too strong. ”

It's all made up by your own brain.

Jack entered among them, not expecting Zidane to do this. At that time, it was just to separate them, and Zidane's intentions were not discovered.

Anyway, each has its own interpretation for a moment.

Some people criticize, some people praise, and some people don't care. Anyway, there are all kinds of theories. But this choice is controversial enough to be sure.

It's still the middle of the game, and when the game is over, it's expected to be a huge topic. Even Jack's choice is estimated to be a topic of discussion in a few decades. (To be continued......)
