"Jack, what's going on?"

The number of referees for the European Championship was announced soon. There are not many surprises in the world of refereeing in English football. After all, Graham. Bol, this is the number one person in the world of refereeing in England. He is the best referee in English football in recent years.

Even if he made a mistake in the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup, it did not affect his status in the English refereeing world and European football refereeing circles at all.

It is only natural that UEFA chose him as a referee for the European Championships.

Of the few English referees who were shortlisted for the European Championship and failed to referee the European Championship, there was only one person who was most disappointed, and that was Conor Gallagher. After all, over the years, Bol and Gallagher have been top referees in England.

But now that the two of them are clearly starting to rise and fall, Bol has completely suppressed Gallagher. This time the referee chose for the European Championship, and Gallagher still had some hopes. No matter how many years I say it, I have been the first referee in England for many years, and I have also officiated in international competitions before. Even if there was a mistake in the 02 World Cup, he was an experienced and capable referee.

If he can referee the European Championship this time, Gallagher believes he can return to his original position. But this time UEFA chose Bol instead of itself. In other words, he has completely lost to Bol.

As for UEFA's choice of the fourth referee for the European Championship, it is Mike. Riley.

But Gallagher was glad about this. If the fourth referee chooses himself, he will not have the face to be the fourth referee for Bol. Bol and Gallagher had been fighting for so many years that he was given Bol the fourth referee. It was worse than death.

Aside from Conor Gallagher, no one in England came as a surprise. No one had any ideas, and Pol was elected. They didn't have any extravagant hopes at the beginning.

But Webb was a little surprised. Because Webber clearly remembered that Jack had received a call from Villar a few days earlier.

Villar is the world's leading referee. He is the boss of the refereeing world, and it is impossible to call an ordinary referee casually. After all, he has thousands of referees under his hands. There are a lot of top referees just like that.

How could you call a little referee like Jack at will?

Therefore, Webb has always believed that the referee of this European Championship is none other than Jack. But after the quota was announced, Jack didn't say that the referee didn't have his share, and even the fourth referee didn't have his share.

Very confused.

Webb is in the refereeing world and has a good relationship with other referees. And the same goes for Pol.

But Pol and Jack are completely different. Bol is on good terms at best, and Jack is in the league. Which is nearer or farther, Weber knows very well.

"I'm too young."

"But Villar called you that day, and it wasn't going to be ......"

"Yes."

Jack nodded, then smiled and said, "Villar just told me that day that I was too young. Don't think about the European Championship this time. ”

Jack just said that.

Although Jack and Webb have a good relationship, there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said, and this is clearly understood by Jack. Just like Villar's promise to Jack that he would officiate the League Cup final. This kind of thing must not be said to Weber.

It's not that I don't believe Weber, but I can know this kind of thing myself. You can't tell anyone.

After all, it's just Villar's promise.

There are many things that no one can guarantee the outcome until the end. Shouting around before the end is something that no brainer does. How many times in history what should have been successful is because some people were triumphant in advance and leaked some news. In the end, it didn't work out.

And if this kind of thing really spreads, it will be very bad for Villar. Although Villar is the boss of the refereeing world, if Villar privately teaches the referees of these matches, although he does not accept monetary benefits, there will be many people who criticize him.

After all, UEFA's referee committee is not run by Villar.

Villar has the most power. But none of the members of the referee committee are small people. They are definitely not going to watch Villar really decide everything.

"Yes. Jack, we don't need to rush. Who makes us young. ”

Jack is young, and so is Webb. Because the current Webber is only over thirty years old. He is still a young referee in the refereeing industry. Time is the least of an issue for the two of them.

"Yes."

…………

1 November 2003. Manchester United's Old Trafford.

The matter of the referee of the European Cup only made Jack regret a little. Except for regrets. Since Villar promised to give Jack a place as a referee in the League Cup final, Jack had long forgotten about him.

The UEFA Cup final is better than a regular European Cup match.

So Jack focused all his attention on the Premier League.

Since it is a Premier League referee, the Premier League is still fundamental. Whether it's Conor Gallagher or Bol, they can represent England referees because of their excellent performances in the Premier League.

They have won the Premier League referee of the best award several times before they become representatives of the Premier League referee.

It is true that Jack lacks qualifications now.

But as long as Jack wins two or three best referees in the Premier League, no one will say anything about Jack's qualifications. Now that Jack has one Premier League referee of the year, Jack still needs to work hard.

On this day, Jack arrived at Old Trafford.

'It's the 11th round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosting Fulham.

Old Trafford, Jack is already very familiar with it. Over the past three seasons, Jack has officiated many of United's home games. But every time he comes to Old Trafford, Jack is still impressed by the atmosphere.

Sure enough, it is the most well-known stadium among the Premier League teams. The atmosphere at Old Trafford is really good.

Jack didn't put too much effort into today's game. Manchester United have been in good form this season, drawing just two of the top 10 games in the Premier League and then winning all eight. Eight wins, two draws, and 26 points.

As the defending champions, Manchester United have been in as good form as Arsenal this season.

Just like everyone predicted at the beginning of the season. Chelsea, who had spent more than £100 million on a new owner, did not immediately become the best team in the Premier League. The strongest teams this season are still the traditional powerhouses of the Premier League.

Manchester United and Arsenal.

The two teams are leading the way, and they are currently unbeaten in the top 10 games.

Manchester United's opponents, Fulham, are different.

While Fulham have been in good form this season, it is only relative to the quality of his mid-table team. Of the ten games, Fulham have lost three, drawn three and won just four.

That's an impressive result for Fulham. After all, Fulham are a lower-middle team. But such results are not enough for a Premier League giant like Manchester United.

The strength is not at all contrasting. It's a game of great strength.

For referees, they usually like to enforce this kind of game the most. Because there won't be too many problems, refereeing will be much simpler.

"Doodoo-"

Jack saw that the time was almost up, and blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Sure enough, it was the same as expected. Manchester United lost David Beckham in the summer, but it did not have much impact on United's quality. Against Fulham, Manchester United dominated at home.

"Scholes, give the ball to Keane. Keane long pass, Cristiano. Ronaldo got the ball! ”

Cristiano. Cristiano Ronaldo, a new generation of talented players from Portugal. When he came to Manchester United, he directly wore the No. 7 shirt and came to Manchester United with the title of Beckham's successor.

Of course Cristiano. Ronaldo is indeed very strong.

It's fast, it's technical, it's better.

"Cristiano. Ronaldo was fast and Walz defended. Waltz, Cristiano. Ronaldo fell to the ground. ”

Cristiano. Ronaldo, an eighteen-year-old young player. As soon as he fell to the ground, he opened his hands and yelled at Jack. And Waltz, who was also young, only twenty years old, was looking at Jack with his hands.

But Jack didn't see either of them either, and waved his hand to let the game continue.

Cristiano. Ronaldo is so funny that he started playing fake falls at a young age. However, Jack didn't want to punish him, after all, he was a child, so he didn't bother with others and let the game continue. Anyway, the ball went straight out of the bottom line, and it was Fulham's goalball. (To be continued......)
