World Cup in Germany.

The Germans were very hardworking, especially Beckenbauer. Beckenbauer is preparing to run for UEFA presidency against French superstar Michel Platini. Speaking of which, Beckenbauer has a considerable advantage in the UEFA presidential election.

First of all, in his career as a player and coach, Platini has also achieved great success. Especially in the era when he played, Platini was the best superstar in world football. But it is not as good as Beckenbauer's achievements. Beckenbauer is the emperor of football, having won the World Cup as a player and as a coach.

Moreover, Beckenbauer was supported by Johansson.

Now Beckenbauer is the organizer of the World Cup in Germany. As long as this World Cup is well organized, then it is a sure thing that he will become the president of UEFA. As for Platini, he did what he had to do.

So Beckenbauer was also very attentive.

It's a pity that in this World Cup, although FIFA has worked very hard, there are still a lot of low-level mistakes by referees. All kinds of offside misjudgments and false falls are full of games.

All kinds of topics that think that the level of referees has declined are reported by the media every day.

When it comes to the World Cup, the media will lash out at the referees.

"I think our level is improving, and the quality of the referees is there for all to see. This can be seen from the mountain of data. We don't have much of a problem with the big problem of punishment as a whole. Now many people criticize referees, and that is because of the development of science and technology, which is caused by the development of broadcasting technology. A lot of offsides of just a few centimeters, and a lot of even replays have controversial fouls that wouldn't have been a topic of conversation before. But now the technology is too developed. Everyone is just because of that distance of a few centimeters, something that cannot be judged by the naked eye at all. Misjudgments that can only be distinguished by machines. But we are required to make no mistakes in the referee. This in itself is impossible. ”

Everyone's perspective is different.

Everyone is defending their own interests. Fans want to watch a good game, they want to see the team they support to win. So when the team they support fails. They're going to spray those referees with nothing.

But when the team they support wins, they will excuse the referee with "misjudgment is also the charm of the football game". It's all about yourself.

As for the media, it's different.

For them, sales are number one. Therefore, they are willing to take a magnifying glass to watch the referee's performance, and if there is a slight problem, they will criticize it vigorously. I can't wait to make a big deal out of it, because only controversy can be topical. Only when there is a topic can there be enough sales.

But for the referee it is different.

In the World Cup, the referee is already under a lot of pressure. is criticized by the media every day. It made many referees scared. Jack is also a referee, so he immediately refuted their claims in the face of the media.

Because of the pressure, thousands of people in England take the exam every year to get the referee qualification, but there are also thousands of people who leave the refereeing profession.

Jack is a World Cup referee and can clearly feel the pressure. That's why they come forward to refute the media's views. But after Jack said this, someone slapped Jack in the face.

made Jack a laughing stock in an instant.

In the third round of the group stage of the World Cup in Germany, in the match between Croatia and Australia, Croatia's No. 3 player Simnić received three yellow cards before being sent off.

Mistakes can no longer be shown by mistakes.

As the media criticized after the game. This kind of mistake is not in the amateur league, but it is in the World Cup.

Who is this person?

Pol, Graham. Bohr.

England's first referee is known as the most likely referee in this World Cup. A lot of people before the World Cup. It is said that Bol is about to usher in the peak of his refereeing career. But in the group stage, there were a series of mistakes. It wasn't just a matter of three yellow cards, it was also a low-level mistake that missed two penalties.

It's too serious.

Jack just said. Now the referee's ability is on the rise, and the reason why it seems that there are a lot of misjudgments. It's because of the rise in technical capabilities. But it didn't take more than three days for Pol to give Jack a great embarrassment.

Of course, it's not just Jack who embarrass him. Needless to say, the person in question, Pol. On the day of the game, Blatter came out to criticize Bol's clumsy performance, arguing that such a referee should not continue to stay in the World Cup.

This is directly to drive out Pol.

"Martin, you know what? I always felt sorry for Graham. ”

"Why?"

Jack and Atkinson talk about Pol together. Atkinson thinks Bol is old, and after this blow, he is expected to retire soon. It's a shame after all.

"You don't know. The last time I was at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, I was supposed to leave after the group stage and even packed my bags. But because of Graham's mistake, FIFA temporarily asked me to replace Graham to officiate the knockout round. This time it was supposed to be a good opportunity for Graham to officiate in the World Cup final. But if there is such a mistake again, it can only be cheaper for me. ”

"Hahaha."

Atkinson laughed.

Bol was an English referee who came in with him, and it looked like he was winning and losing everything. But in the face of their own interests, who cares about that. Now that Bol, the first referee in England, is out, then the task that originally belonged to Bol will be transferred to Jack.

This means that Jack will officiate a lot of key games. Atkinson is a referee for Jack's team, and the more important the game, the better the resume. When you go back, you'll have the opportunity to officiate in the Champions League.

"Jack, aren't you gloating?"

"No, no, no. I feel sorry for Graham. ”

Jack was serious. It's a fake not to be happy in my heart, after all, without Bol, the number of heavyweight matches that Jack can enforce will continue to increase. But when it comes to schadenfreude, Jack isn't that bad.

Jack continued: "Martin, I have good news for you. The list of judges for the eighth-elimination tournament is out. The match you and I will enforce is the match between Spain and France. ”

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Great."

Atkinson is a big joy.

Because in the one-eighth of the knockouts, there are only two real strong conversations. One is the match between the Netherlands and Portugal. The other is the match between Spain and France.

Being able to officiate such an important game has a huge relationship with Bol's return home.

According to the original plan. Presumably Bol is going to enforce this game. But because of the low-level performance at the last moment, he has been kicked home by FIFA. So it's cheaper for Jack, also from England.

"Graham is going back soon, let's go see him."

…………

There was some joy in my heart.

But Jack and Pol don't have a bad relationship. When Jack had just mixed in the Premier League, Bol, as the first referee in England, still had a lot of support for Jack. I can't say that I am kind to Jack, but at least it has helped.

So happy and happy, Jack still has to go to see off Pol.

"Graham, don't take it too seriously."

"Jack, you don't understand."

At the World Cup in South Korea and Japan four years ago. Pol also made a huge miscalculation, causing him to go home early. But at that time, Bol was still very energetic, even if he went home early, it was not good.

But seeing Pol today, Jack found that Pol's mood was very depressed and completely devoid of energy.

But Jack could understand.

Four years ago, Bol was only 39 years old, which is not very old for England's first referee. And although there were mistakes in the World Cup, there was a World Cup experience after all. He still had a chance. There is also a chance to compete. But this year Pol is already forty-three years old, and he will soon be at the age of retirement. Coupled with such a serious miscalculation, it is estimated that the European Cup will not be with him.

"Graham, forget about that day."

See such a decadent Pol. Jack was also very unbearable.

It's really unbearable.

Bol is also considered a top coach in English football, and he is a leader in the English refereeing community. It's a pity that he participated in the World Cup twice, but he returned home with a feather. A top referee who is majestic in the English refereeing world. Still.......

This should be Bol's last major appearance in international football.

"Thank you for sending me."

Pol didn't say anything either.

looked sluggish, and it is estimated that this blow will not allow him to come out for a long time. Even if he can come out. He has also reached retirement age. Jack estimates that Bol will not be too thick-skinned and will continue to stay in the Premier League.

"Let's go. It is estimated that it will be within this year or two. He will choose to retire. ”

"Hey......"

It is often said that a defender on the football field must not make mistakes. Because you succeed a hundred times, but just one mistake can be very fatal. But how can they compare to the referee?

Just like Pol.

Bol can become the first referee in England, and it is impossible without quality. In the referee industry, you don't have the strength, and you can't reach such heights just by slapping sycophants. But his mistake this time directly ruined his 26-year refereeing career. When it comes to Bol in the future, everyone will only think of his three yellow cards, and no one will remember that he was once a top referee in England.

"Let's hope we don't end up like this."

The rabbit died and the fox was sad.

It really feels that way. It always feels sad to see a top referee with such a down-and-out curtain call. Maybe the fans and newspapers are more jokes about Bol's incident this time. But also as a referee, Jack is really sad. There are a few more who can retire in the refereeing world.

But Jack was helpless.

On the way back, Jack couldn't help but think of such words: Why is it always you who is hurt, but I am always the one who benefits.

Forget it, don't want to.

Prepare for the match between Spain and France. As Bol, the most vocal Bol, leaves the World Cup, Jack's ambitions begin to skyrocket. (To be continued......)
