"Arsenal...... Come on Arsenal...... Arsenal!

The Gunners chanted: "You don't want to get a point from Arsenal!"

April has become the season of our victory,

England's champions will be heroes! ”

Charity Shield, a low-stakes tournament. However, for Arsenal fans, it is still very proud to overturn Manchester United's supremacy last season. They will be hoping to get off to a good start with another win over Manchester United from before the start of the season.

Singing their own team song.

This team song is not Arsenal's old team song, and the lyrics in it were rewritten after winning the double last season. It contains the stars of the Arsenal double, including Ian Wright, Arsenal's all-time top scorer, and Bergkamp, the current Arsenal frontlineman. There are also Petit and Parlor who are in this lyric.

Of course, there is no ambiguity on United's side.

"Manchester United! Manchester United!

We're red teenagers and we're on our way to Wembley!

Wembley! Wembley!

We are great Manchester United and we are on our way to Wembley!

Glory to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United!

The Red Legion marches forward! ”

Manchester United fans are undoubtedly proud, especially since the establishment of the Premier League, England has not yet come out with a team that can really stand up to Manchester United. Leeds United, then Blackburn, then Newcastle, plus Arsenal last season. They are all in the form of challengers for Manchester United, with only Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal successfully claiming the Premier League title.

But they are also challengers, and Manchester United are the kings of English football right now. Manchester United fans certainly won't let Arsenal fans dominate Wembley Stadium.

"David Beckham, get out of England!"

"You should go to the gallows!"

Arsenal fans saw the counterattack of Manchester United fans, and immediately took Manchester United's No. 7 Beckham out for criticism. Arsenal fans pulled out David Beckham's shirt and made a dummy to make a hanged pattern that shook around the pitch.

Fifty-two thousand.

That's the total number of fans on both sides today. The Charity Shield, a game with such a low gold content, still has so many fans. That's where Arsenal and Manchester United come in.

Thankfully, this is the Charity Shield, and if it were a League Cup final, an FA Cup final, or even a Premier League match, there would have been more than 50,000 fans.

"There are so many people."

Jack could feel the enthusiasm of the fans while standing in the players' tunnel. With 50,000 fans, this is the largest number of fans in the field since Jack became a referee. 50,000 fans, when I first worked as a referee in the Northern League three years ago, the average number of fans was about 2,000. Even when Jack was refereed in the Anglo-African League last season, the average fan base was no more than 3,000. Now it is able to officiate the game in front of 50,000 fans in attendance.

"It's a neutral pitch. If you're at someone else's home stadium and tens of thousands of fans are fans of one team, that's the real pressure. When the time comes, any penalty you make against the home team will be booed unanimously by the fans in the stadium. That kind of scene is a real test of the referee's psychological quality. ”

Neil Barry explained to Jack with a smile. Neil Barry understands that Jack has been in the lower leagues and the most important game he has officiated in has been the League Two promotion play-offs. I won't understand the pressure that this kind of 40,000 or 50,000 fans on the referee will bring.

"Yes."

Bol saw Jack and Neil Barry talking about the fans at the scene, and he also turned his head and said to the two people: "This is nothing now. Turkey, the home field over there is really not easy to enforce. Their fans are crazy and you all have a feeling of being stuck there. The atmosphere of their fans is like if you dare to take a penalty against their home team and they are going to kill you. ”

"Graham, you went to Turkey last year?"

"Yes. League Cup. ”

Bol nodded, then smiled wryly: "I've been in the Premier League for five years, but that game felt that way for the first time. Depressed, even leaving you breathless. ”

Pol didn't shy away from his nervousness, fear, and so on. It's very calm to say.

"Referee Bol, isn't it too exaggerated."

Jack was a little incredulous. If it's a rookie like Jack, it's possible, but what level of referee is Bol. Graham Bol was qualified as a referee in 1980, an assistant referee in the football league in '86 and a head referee in the football league in '91. And in 93, the Premier League became the Premier League referee in just its second season. In '96 he became an international referee.

In the current Premier League, Bol has a tendency to be the first referee. There are many heavyweight matches that have been officiated, and he has officiated top derbies such as Manchester United and Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

"Jack, you're also a referee. There will be opportunities to go to Turkey in the future, and you should be mentally prepared for that time. Well, it's almost time. ”

…………

When Jack came out, he felt why many referees would favor the giants. For other reasons, what do you choose when you see Alex Ferguson standing in front of you, and Roy Keane and Schmeichel standing in front of you?

If you look at Arsenal and see Patrick Vieira and Petit who just won the World Cup with France, and then see legendary England central defenders like Adams, how will you choose?

No wonder, no wonder.

Fortunately, Jack is an assistant referee now, so he doesn't need to rely on these things. If Jack is the referee, then there's really a lot of pressure on them.

"Jack, I thought it was a referee with the same name and surname."

Graham Bol really wants to train with the Charity Shield, because the two assistant referees he is looking for are not Premier League assistant referees, they are both transferred from the lower leagues. It's clear that it's all about training young referees like Jack. It should not just be Bol's idea, but the idea of the entire referee committee. Cultivate some young referees to improve the echelon construction of the referee industry.

Of course, on the other hand, it also shows the status of this game in the eyes of the FA.

"Hello Coach Alex Ferguson."

Jack was the first assistant referee for the game and just walked past Ferguson when he caught Jack. Chat with the referee before the game? There is no explicit provision that this is not possible. However, in general, in official games, whether it is the head coach or the referee, they try to avoid such a situation. Because things like this are very vulnerable.

But this is a Charity Shield match, and everyone's spirits are not very tense. So Ferguson didn't mind chatting with Jack before the game.

"Jack, may I ask, how old are you?"

"In two months, you'll be twenty-three."

"The afterlife is terrible."

Ferguson chewed gum and sighed. The refereeing industry, like the coaching industry, rarely has a referee or coach who is too young. In the history of English refereeing, there is no referee who can appear in a Premier League match who is not over 30 years old. This is true even for assistant referees, who have never been younger than 30 in the history of the Premier League.

But Jack was able to officiate the Charity Shield at such a young age. Although the Charity Shield has a low gold content, Manchester United and Arsenal are not taking it seriously. But the gold content is low, and this game is also a championship anyway, and it is a match between a champion team like Manchester United and Arsenal. Jack's ability to officiate the Charity Shield was still a big shock to Ferguson.

Jack is only twenty-two years old now, and he will be twenty-three in two months. Ferguson could even conclude that Jack would become a Premier League referee before the age of 30. Perhaps, according to Jack's development, it is estimated that he will have the opportunity to become a Premier League referee at the age of twenty-five or sixteen.

"Coach Alex Ferguson, it's over."

"Not at all."

Ferguson looked like he was giving Jack face. But Jack didn't dare to be sloppy at all, because Jack and Ferguson were not on the same level at all.

"Nope. I was amazed. ”

Jack and Ferguson were unfamiliar, so what they said was polite and had little substance. At this time, Beckham, who was on the bench, stepped forward and said to Jack: "Thank you, Jack. ”

Because Beckham was so affected that Ferguson did not schedule him to start. Alex Ferguson is the most protective of Beckham, and Beckham and these players of Manchester United's 92 generation are his children in Ferguson's heart. Beckham was at his most difficult, and Ferguson certainly had to help him.

"You thanked you last time."

Beckham is handsome, that's all Jack can say. Although Jack is also good-looking, Jack also thinks that Beckham is indeed handsome. It's no wonder that with the status of a new star, he is a member of a world-class idol group.

"Jack, why don't you have a drink when the game is over?"

"Of course. I don't have much to do anyway. It's an honor to be able to drink with a big star like you. ”

Against Beckham, Jack was much more relaxed. The current Beckham is only a superstar, not a superstar yet. There was no pressure on Jack against him, and it was completely different from facing Ferguson.

"So we're done?"

"Okay."
