"Red, red, red card!"

Referee Jack Lee showed Owen a red card. The referee Jack Lee thought that Owen had faked a fall and gave Owen a yellow card. Because Owen has already received a yellow card for waving his arms before. Owen, just thirty minutes into the first half, Owen received a red card. ”

Morteson was surprised.

Owen red card?

"Shhh

The Liverpool fans in the stadium booed their displeasure with the decision. Owen himself was stunned for a moment, and then yelled at Jack, "I didn't fake a fall." Did you see clearly, I didn't fake a fall. ”

Owen was a little panicked, really panicked. It's a red card after all. How could Owen not panic.

"Mr. referee, this can't be a yellow card."

"Idiot, will you be a referee?"

The Liverpool players, who had just been calm, were all fenced. They were all stunned by the red card shown by Jack.

The last time Owen got a red card was last season. At that time, Owen had just debuted, and his psychological quality was not good, and many actions were deformed on the court. The tackle was also unequivocal and he got a red card.

Since then, Owen's performance has been very good, and even the yellow cards are very rare. After all, Owen is also a striker, and there are not many opportunities to get a card. Unexpectedly, the first half of this game was not over, and it was already a red card.

"Michael Owen, Paul Ince, two of you."

Jack ignored the grievances of so many Liverpool fans and didn't care about the complaints of Liverpool players. Instead, let Owen and Ince come to him. Jack said to Owen: "The other party didn't touch you, and after you fell to the ground, you pointed out the other party's foul." This is the most typical fake fall. Whether the other party touches you or not, I think you know best. If you keep denying it, I'll put your words into the post-match report. ”

Owen, this target came at a good time.

And fake falls, this excuse is not bad. Fake falls are very common in football, but there hasn't been much attention paid to them in world football before. However, in recent years, fake falls have become more and more common, and even fake falls have occurred frequently in many important competitions, so there is a lot of controversy.

At the time of the 98 World Cup, that is, the just-concluded World Cup, in order to put an end to fake falls, FIFA began to clearly confirm that all fake falls are yellow cards. In other words, it was from the '98 World Cup that fake falls began to be taken seriously and that they began to be really hit hard.

But this is English football.

In English football, other aspects dare not say anything. But in a fake fall, being able to pat your chest is the rarest. Because the tradition of English football is that football is a men's sport.

English football loves confrontation and likes to collide with the body. For those tough guys, those tough guys who are not in the line of fire with minor injuries are very respected and appreciated. But English football has always disliked players with a soft style, and even less like players who fake falls. One player faked a fall, and even his teammates and fans looked down on him. As a result, homegrown English players rarely faked falls.

However, with the increasing development of the Premier League, in recent years, it has begun to vigorously introduce players from the European continent and South America, and English football has also begun to be affected by fake falls. It's just that it hasn't been that serious so far, so the FA doesn't pay much attention to it.

Fake falls to give yellow cards are rare in English football, or they are not available.

But Jack believes this is the general trend. Just look at Owen. In the past, there were a few local players in England who knew about fake falls, and it was very awkward to play fake falls, which could be seen at a glance. But now the homegrown players in England have also started to learn from foreign players and have started to play fake falls.

So Jack can be sure that the FA is starting to take this aspect seriously. That being the case, Jack is willing to help them get their head started.

Owen's portion is just right.

'Paul, you're Liverpool captain. I want you to restrain your team-mates, there is no problem with Michael Owen's fake yellow card. If your teammates can't calm down, I don't mind helping them calm down. ”

After a strong warning to Paul Ince, Jack said to Owen again, "Michael Owen, you, get out." ”

Owen looked at Jack indignantly, then walked out with his head down. When I left, I didn't look at anyone and went straight into the locker room. Jack's eyes followed Owen all the time, and when Owen disappeared from the field, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Things didn't get out of hand.

Giving Owen a red card, Jack was not as calm as he imagined. I was a little nervous, but on the whole, there was no problem. However, Jack's finishing touches are not over yet, and the Liverpool coach on the sidelines is complaining. And he was entangled with the fourth referee, Clattenburg.

"Mr. Referee, did you forget to bring your glasses? Or you go back and learn again, and then come out and enforce the law. ”

Houllier has a temper of heart. Seeing Jack coming, he kept waving his arms and complaining to Jack. Jack waited until Houllier finished venting, looked at Houllier very seriously and said, "Coach Houllier, you don't need to question my professional ability. Whether Owen faked a fall or not, I can see very clearly. Fake falls are yellow cards, which are clearly stated in FIFA regulations. You don't think Owen is a Liverpool player, Owen is England's golden boy, just let me open the net. ”

"Which eye do you see it's a fake fall. You're a League Administerer and you know what's going on in the Premier League. ”

Houllier is one of the more Sven of England coaches. In other words, foreign coaches are better tempered than local British coaches. These include Chelsea's Ruud Gullitt and Vialli, Liverpool's Houllier and Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, who generally have better tempers than their homegrown coaches.

But Houllier is too angry now.

After Owen made a name for himself at the World Cup, he was still taken care of in England. This is human nature, people are England's golden boys, and those English referees will give him more or less face.

But in today's game, he was sent off by Jack before the end of the first half, how could he not be angry.

"Even if I'm a referee in an amateur league, I can't change the fact that Irving fakes a fall. Coach Houllier, if you have any complaints about my decision, you can complain to me after the game. But at this time, you have to give me back right away. Don't disturb the normal flow of the game, if you continue to interfere with the normal progress of the game like this, I can only ask you to come to the stands. ”

Jack saw Houllier continue to pester, and could only warn Houllier.

"you. It's a little right, and I really think I'm a character. Damn, ** raised bastard. ”

Hollier chattered away, and Jack didn't pay any attention to him. In the current English football, the protection of referees is far from enough. Players can scold the referee at will, and the manager can also scold the referee at will.

The English referee does not have clear rules on personal attacks on coaches and players. Some leagues, including Serie A, have long had rules for this. If you insult the referee, the referee can give a yellow card. In Houllier's situation, the referee could even give him a red card. But not in English football.

"Jack, it's okay."

"It's fine."

As the fourth referee, Clattenburg was still very good at dealing with the Liverpool coaching staff in this game. Jack was glad that today's fourth referee was Clattenburg, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry. ”

After dealing with Irving's red card, Jack returned to the field to let the game continue.

"The game is back to normal. Let's take a look at the replay just now. In slow motion, it is clear that Owen and Fulham's centre-backs have not made any contact. Craggle didn't trip Owen, but Owen himself fell to the ground. This ball Owen is indeed a fake fall, a fake fall. The referee made the right decision, he was in a good position and watched carefully. ”

This is one of Jack's strengths, which is that he has good physical strength. I can run. to be able to keep up with the ball. Able to find the most advantageous position to observe with running. Jack's vision of the ball just now is also very good, and with the function of Jack's eyes, Jack can accurately judge whether the two people have touched.

'Owen faked a fall, but it's a question of whether it's yellow carded enough. Because in the Premier League, it is rare to give a yellow card for faking a fall, but there is no problem with a yellow card for a fake fall. Because in recent years, FIFA and UEFA have been emphasizing the problem of fake falls. ”

"Regardless, the young Jack Lee referee was very decisive and the decision was very accurate. Referee Lee held a record when he was an assistant referee, and that is that he judged offside, touchline kicks, and corners without a single error. This is a promising referee. ”

"If you look at Liverpool, they're making matters worse. Owen was red carded, 10 to 11. A defeat to League Two's Fulham would be a serious blow to Liverpool's confidence. Liverpool's internal contradictions will grow. ”
