'We had a press conference today about Thierry Henry's quick free-kick when Arsenal played against Tottenham.

Keith. Hackett did not appear.

and Philip. Don is different. Philip. Don is known for being tough internally, and he also likes to be in front of the media. He is more than willing to use the media to promote his ideas.

And back then, Philip. Don and Keith. There is a division of labor when Hackett cooperates.

Philip. Tang is tough, he is not only tough, but also encourages the media to help and put pressure on the FA and the Premier League together. Let them help the referee professionalize.

In fact, the professionalism of referees is to put it bluntly, that is, to take out part of the money from the pockets of the FA and Premier League companies to increase the salary of referees. That is, the redistribution of profits from the income of English football. If there is no money, then the so-called professionalization of referees is nonsense.

And at that time, Philip. Don has a good relationship with the media. Because Philip. Don needs the help of the media. Philip. Don backed up the refereeing team, and then used the media to put incessant pressure on the FA and Premier League companies to spit out some of their profits to the refereeing industry.

As for Keith. Hackett, he's a very popular person. All he has to do is stabilize the FA and not let the FA and the Premier League companies bounce back too much. The two of them have a tacit understanding, one builds momentum from the outside, and the other stabilizes the FA and the Premier League company inside.

Hence Keith. Hackett has nothing to do with the media. He himself doesn't really like to be in front of the media.

So today's press conference is Joe. Geist convened.

"First of all, we want to announce that the referee committee has given our referee committee's conclusion on Tottenham's complaint against Thierry Henry's goal. We're unanimous that Thierry Henry's goal doesn't have any problems with the rules and that his goal is valid. Jack. Referee Lee's handling was in full compliance with the regulations and there were no problems. This is a fast free kick that fits the rules perfectly. ”

Joe. Geist is playing with technology.

He's in charge of evaluating the performance of those judges. His power is great, and the chief referee and the senior members of the referee committee will decide the referee's evaluation based on the report of the technical committee.

Therefore, he did not say a word of nonsense in the face of reporters, and went straight to the point.

And he was not interested in dealing with reporters, and continued: "There has been a lot of debate lately about the issue of quick free kicks. For this reason, we have sent a circular to the clubs explaining in detail the issue of fast free kicks. ”

Press conference?

A lot of reporters are very interested in Joe. Geist's belly. Joe. Geist: What kind of press conference is this, it is not at all the type of press conference that journalists like. Since Philip. After Don left, none of the referees satisfied the reporters. Including the current top referees in the Premier League, Bol and Gallagher, of course, except for Jack, who has a lot of topics. Outside of Lee.

But Joe. Geist didn't care what they were thinking, and gave some explanation for the problem of quick free-kicks.

He doesn't say anything about this kind of business.

However, this is already the referee's committee supporting Jack and believing that Jack's decision is correct.

Quick free-kick?

English football is very lively, in fact, European football is also lively, and world football is also lively. Because the problem of quick free-kicks is not only new to English football, but also to European football and world football.

The concept of a quick free kick has not been around for long.

This is all due to the fact that FIFA and UEFA advocate the flow of the game. But this gray area player has not yet been discovered, it should be said that it has not been exploited. Henry, on the other hand, was the first to use this rule to play sneak attacks.

And then there are the problems.

Henry found out, which means that this Pandora's box has been opened. The other smart players will learn from Henry, and then how to regulate it will be a problem.

Therefore, FIFA and UEFA are paying attention to this matter. They are all watching the English referees' statement.

In Joe. After Geist gave his speech on the attitude of the English refereeing committee, a heavyweight came out to give his opinion.

Angel. Villar.

Mixed in the refereeing world, especially in European football, if you don't know Angel. Villar, then you must be a junior referee who can only mingle in the lower leagues.

Any international referee in European football who does not know Angel. Villar, it's like England fans don't know the manager of the England national team.

Because this is the first brother in the international football referee world, and he is the most powerful person in the international football referee world.

Angel. Villar is a Spanish player who retired from Athletic Club Bilbao. He is a lawyer and has a law degree as a player. After retiring as a player, he co-founded the Spanish Players' Association, where he served as vice-president. He was very loved by the Spanish players at that time.

Soon he moved from the Spanish Football Federation to the local football federation. With super ability and skill, he started from the local football association and rose all the way to become the president of the Spanish Football Association. The first time I became president of the Spanish Football Federation was in 1988, 14 years after that.

Since becoming president of the Spanish Football Federation in 1988, Angel has been the president of the Spanish Football Federation. Villar never left the position. His position in Spanish football is so secure that no one can challenge him.

Of course, if it is only the president of the Spanish Football Federation, it is impossible to have such a high influence. The main thing is that he has enough quality in both FIFA and UEFA.

He is not only a member of the executive committee of FIFA and UEFA, but also the vice-president of FIFA and UEFA. FIFA President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Johansson are at odds with each other, and they are fighting openly and secretly every day. But Angel. Villar, however, is at odds in the middle.

Blatter valued him, and Johansson valued him. He is the head of the referee committee at FIFA and the head of the referee committee at UEFA. In other words, Jack, as an English referee, has to accept Angel in UEFA. Villar's leadership.

In addition, Jack is an international referee, and at FIFA, he still has to accept Angel. Villar's leadership.

Angel. Villar was interviewed by reporters after a regular UEFA meeting. and Joe. Geist is not the same, Angel. Villar's current position has a set of ways to deal with journalists.

He knows exactly what reporters like to hear.

"Thierry Henry's goal? All I can say is that he is very smart and he understands the rules very smartly. A loophole in the rules? No, no, no, this is definitely not a loophole. Henry just found the best way to do it. ”

"Actually, we encourage this kind of quick free-kick. Because that's what really encourages offense, encourages the fluidity of the game. Unfair to the defending side? Definitely not. If the defenders were experienced, or if they knew the rules, then they wouldn't have given Henry a chance to take a quick free-kick. They're not all there thinking about how to put up a wall, which shows that they don't fully understand the rules. Henry, on the other hand, understood the rules, so Henry scored. ”

Angel. Villar has a great personable personality and speaks eloquently.

After talking about Henry's goal, Angel . Villar began to talk about Jack in the Storm.

"Jack. Referee Li is a very young referee with a lot of potential. Because Thierry Henry's goal was so controversial, I re-watched that game. I'm going to say Jack. Referee Lee's decision was so accurate that I was amazed. I used to worry about whether there would be jokes at the 26-year-old international referee. Now there is nothing to worry about. I think he's at a level that can be used to officiate in the Champions League. ”

Flatter.

When Jack was in Japan, he felt that FIFA was too snub to these referees, and completely treated them as air. But what Jack didn't know was that they weren't taken seriously.

But that was mainly because the officials of the FIFA refereeing committee at the time were all aiming for the preparation of the World Cup. It's the preparation for the World Cup that counts.

Definitely not because they deliberately looked down on Jack them.

Jack became an international referee at the age of twenty-six, which is a record for international referees. How could FIFA and UEFA really not take Jack seriously. In each period, FIFA and UEFA have to put out some representatives.

Just like Ronaldo, he is indeed a football genius that is rare in a century. But when he became famous, his results were not as good as he imagined. Although he did well individually, the team he stayed in did not do well.

But at that time, FIFA just needed a representative star and wanted to bring out someone.

That man is Ronaldo. Ronaldo has been awarded the World Footballer of the Year one after another, and that's why.

Of course, if Ronaldo hadn't been out of shape in the '98 World Cup final, then he would have been plagued by injuries again. Then FIFA has long made him the king of this era.

Then there's Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane is a representative star of European football erected by UEFA to fight Ronaldo. Of course, it can be favored by UEFA, that is because Zidane has enough strength and enough results.

But with strength and achievements alone, it is impossible for the two of them to have their current status. The fact that they are now able to have such a position is a huge credit to FIFA and UEFA.

The same goes for referees.

Corina was highlighted by the Italian Football Federation, and then UEFA and FIFA were all involved in the praise of Corina, the world's No. 1 referee. made Collina the world's No. 1 referee and the No. 1 star in the refereeing world.

But in terms of performance, whether it is Frisk or Merck, they are no worse than Collina. In terms of strength, several of them are equal.

But Collina's fame firmly suppressed the two of them, relying on FIFA and UEFA to establish a representative.

Jack was young, twenty-six years old.

Premier League referees, international referees, and World Cup referee candidates, these are also valued by FIFA and UEFA. Corina was already forty-one years old, and in three months he would be forty-two. According to FIFA's regulations on the retirement of international referees at the age of 45, Corina has a little more than three years left.

What happens after Corina?

It is definitely necessary to re-establish a representative of the adjudication community.

Young referees like Jack are also on the radar of FIFA and UEFA. Of course, Jack is not the only referee who has attracted attention, but being able to be the referee they pay attention to is in itself a sign that he is the best of young referees.

Angel. Villar doesn't mind bragging about Jack at this moment and helping him get along a bit.

He's a real powerhouse.

His words are really helpful for a young referee like Jack. Because of his words, there is a lot of turmoil in English football. Because of Angel. Villar's statement can't help but make the English referees committee not pay attention to it.

Keith, who has been hesitant. Hackett also made up his mind.

"Joe, I think you're on a good idea. In the Carabao Cup final, Jack should be up to the task. ”

"Of course."

Joe. Geskey nodded and said in affirmation, "Jack is a very good young referee. If you think about it, Graham and Demot are all 40-year-old referees. After four or five years of training Jack, it's time to take over their class. ”

Bol and Gallagher are Philip. When Don was there, he focused on establishing England's top referees. When they are forty-five years old, they need a successor. The English refereeing community also needs such a succession.

"Okay." r1152
