"Jack, there are some things that shouldn't be mixed up, you know?"

At the end of the meeting, Gallagher spoke to Jack with a gloomy face. Gallagher had reason to be angry. Gallagher and Bennett's friendship is deep, not ordinary. When Gallagher was in the lower leagues, Bennett was his assistant referee.

When Gallagher came to the Premier League, it didn't take a few years for Gallagher to promote Bennett to become an assistant referee in the Premier League, or to be a referee with himself. It was the time when Gallagher was at its most beautiful.

At that time Paul. Dugin was at his peak, the best referee in the Premier League at the time, and the most powerful and respected referee in the Premier League. And in Paul. With Dugin's help, Gallagher slowly became the best referee in the Premier League at that time.

Soon Gallagher became an international referee again.

Gallagher also brought Bennett, who also became an international assistant referee. This is how Bennett developed. Bennett's development is inseparable from Gallagher's development.

The two have been working together for nearly 20 years since the lower leagues, not to mention the friendship between the two people.

Therefore, Gallagher is very hopeful that this time his old friend Bennett will be able to officiate the League Cup final. He would have been sure. After all, now Neil. Barry began to shed some of his own stigma and didn't get involved in these things much. If you push your side, then Neil. Barry probably won't be as opposed as he used to be.

Plus Bennett's strength is indeed very strong, as long as Paul. Dugin and Conor Gallagher pushed hard and Bennett is very likely to officiate this Carabao Cup final.

As long as Bennett enforces the League Cup final. So who will question him from assistant referee to referee in the future. Bennett has truly become a Premier League referee, and everyone has to admit it. But it was all ruined by Jack and Webb.

How could Gallagher not be angry.

"Judge Gallagher. Isn't that what we are going to do to have a meeting? Do we have to keep our mouths shut when we have a meeting? ”

Jack shrugged, not taking Gallagher seriously at all. Gallagher is indeed very strong. Especially when Jack first entered the Premier League, he was even stronger and unbeatable.

At that time, Gallagher was really strong.

But the world has changed over time.

Gallagher should have gotten better and better. It's a pity that there was a big scandal in 02, and it was brushed down in the final World Cup referee selection. This face is disgraced.

Although everyone didn't speak, Gallagher's incident can be said to have become everyone's laughing stock. There are few referees in the Premier League who don't laugh at Gallagher behind his back.

This incident made Gallagher's status in the English refereeing world drop a lot in an instant. From being able to be on an equal footing with Pol, to now being completely incomparable to Bol in terms of momentum, that incident was too big a blow for Gallagher.

"Hmph. Young people don't want to be complacent about their achievements. ”

Gallagher was furious. Who is Gallagher, after the establishment of the Premier League, Gallagher became the referee of the Premier League. In Philip. Don vigorously promoted Pol before. Conor Gallagher is truly the best referee in the Premier League.

When Conor Gallagher was the Premier League's referee, Jack had not yet stepped into the refereeing profession. In the current Premier League, with the exception of Neil. Barry, Paul. Dugin, Graham. In addition to Babbel's three veteran referees, Gallagher has the most seniority.

"Thank you, Judge Gallagher, for your advice. I knew what I had to do. ”

Jack is no longer the referee who just arrived in the Premier League two and a half years ago. Jack is now England's top referee who has officiated in the Champions League, League Cup and World Cup. Already not afraid of Gallagher.

"Jack, what are you doing? Mike wants to have a drink. ”

Webber actually saw Gallagher talking to Jack in an unkind tone. Webber is arrogant, after all, he can become a pivotal referee in the Premier League at this age, and there are few in the history of the Premier League.

If it weren't for Jack, Webber would have been the most legendary referee in English football since World War II. After all, he came to the Premier League at a young age, and Webb is the first choice for the current Premier League's strong dialogue. More important than Jack by the FA.

So Weber couldn't get used to Gallagher.

Isn't it just a little older and a little more senior. What is it?

So Weber deliberately interrupted them. Gallagher was indeed angry at Weber's approach. Webber and Jack were too rude to Gallagher.

I don't know at all about respecting my predecessors.

"Mike, please drink, then we have to go."

Jack paid no attention to the gloomy Gallagher next to him. You used to be the top referee in the Premier League, but what about Conor Gallagher now. Now Jack and Webb are full-fledged.

Don't say it's Gallagher. Even if it's Keith. Hackett, the chief referee, also had no way to suppress the two men.

So Jack didn't care about Gallagher's anger at all.

"Yes, Mike is waiting."

Webb nodded, then looked at Gallagher. smiled and said, "Why don't you join Coach Gallagher?" ”

"Hmph."

Hearing Weber's teasing, Gallagher angrily left the place. For both Webb and Jack. Gallagher is indeed more than capable of doing so. If it was an ordinary Premier League referee, he really had a lot of ways to suppress it.

But Webber and Jack were two. Now it's all international referees. In the Premier League refereeing world, they are all very strong. It's not that Gallagher can suppress if he wants to.

So he could only sulk.

"Howard, you're so bad."

Jack looked at Gallagher's back and laughed.

Speaking of which, Jack doesn't favor anyone in his opinion on Bol and Gallagher. In terms of law enforcement capabilities, Gallagher and Paul. Dugin, like him, is a very good referee in the Premier League.

Like Paul. Dugin, career achievements far beyond Neil. Barry. Gallagher's results are no worse than Bol's. Paul. Dugin, Gallagher, Bennett. Including Halsey, who has a good relationship with Jack, their professional standards are well-known in the Premier League.

But both of them were too proud.

Paul. Dugin, Gallagher. The two of them looked down on other referees, and they didn't have a good face for young referees. That's what makes Jack a little disgusted with them.

And Neil. Barry and Pol are different. The two have good personalities. Even if it's pretended, it's a pleasure. So it's natural to get close to Neil. Barry and Pol, this aspect of Paul. Dugin and Gallagher did just too badly.

"I just don't like how good they are."

"Forget it. Let's go. ”

Mike. Riley is a good person, and there will not be too few people who invite guests to drink. It's not a bad thing to talk to these Premier League referees a lot. As for today's events, Jack wasn't worried at all.

Bennett was disappointed, Gallagher was angry, Paul. Dugin was furious, and Jack didn't care about any of that at all. Paul. Dugin used to be the best referee in the Premier League. But now he is a referee who is about to retire.

Even if you don't retire at the end of this season, you will definitely retire after the end of next season. Especially Neil. After Barry became the only candidate for England's chief referee, Paul Murphy became the sole candidate for the referee. Dugin's influence in English refereeing circles has declined dramatically. Who doesn't know that the two of them were bitter rivals back then.

And Gallagher.

Gallagher was also the best referee in the Premier League, but the World Cup was a big scandal and his reputation fell quickly. Gallagher is down, while Jack's current status is rising. One up and one down, Gallagher couldn't help Jack.

As for Bennett?

To be honest, this is a good referee and the strength is not bad. But because of his background, he is incompatible with the Premier League referee. If it weren't for Gallagher's asylum. Bennett is certainly tougher in the Premier League.

They were a behemoth to Jack two years ago, but for Jack now, they are no problem at all.

…………

The Premier League game continued, but Jack was soon notified by the UEFA refereeing committee.

Villar is really good at what he says. Very obedient to the promise.

Although Jack had a big storm in the League Cup knockout round, the referee committee continued to give Jack a chance to play the League Cup knockout round, and it should be Villar who gave Jack a chance. But it's still the same sentence. Villar didn't want Jack to be too showy.

Therefore, the games given to Jack are relatively dull games, or games with little attention.

This time too.

The games that Jack will be officiating are Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga and Boavista in the Portuguese Super League.

And it's the same as the last game. Both are in the second round of the competition. After the first round, the game without much suspense was handed to Jack. Although this does not reflect the ability of the referee. But it's all qualifications after that.

It doesn't matter what kind of game is enforcing the law, if you say it later, you will enforce the League Cup knockout round. From the top 32 to the top 16, who cares what kind of game you officiate.

In this regard, Villar also takes good care of Jack.

In the first round match between Hertha Berlin and Boavista, Hertha Berlin won 3-2 at home against Boavista. Don't look at the scoreline, in fact, Hertha Berlin is much stronger than Boavista.

Or in the eyes of the European football media, Boavista, a team in the Portuguese Super League, is not as good as Hertha Berlin. The fact that they were able to score two goals away from home was the result of Hertha Berlin's carelessness. The pace of the game was completely under Hertha Berlin's control.

Therefore, no one expected Boavista to be able to win this match.

Because this is also the simpler game in the round of 16 knockout rounds. Receiving the task of the competition, Jack soon flew to Portugal.

Competitions like the Champions League and the UEFA Cup have rules.

For example, if it is a Saturday match, then all members of the referee team must come to the designated place on Friday, the day before the match, and then UEFA will arrange a place to stay.

UEFA will not skimp on this.

When the referees arrived at the location, they stayed in the best five-star hotels in the area, and UEFA reimbursed all the costs of the referees for a few days in the hotel. The day before, the whole team of the referees had to come to the scene under the arrangement of the UEFA referee committee staff.

Here's the procedure.

So Jack flew to Portugal the next day after officiating the Premier League. Then I stayed in a designated five-star hotel. Prepare for the next day's competition. (To be continued......)
