61 Back to League C
Chatting with Beckham, he found that Beckham was completely different from what he was in the camera. Beckham in the camera is handsome, and he loves to laugh, and he is almost all smiling in front of the media. But the reality is different.
Maybe this time was too depressing, and chatting with Jack became a bit nagging. I want to say everything I haven't been able to say during this time. And the amount of alcohol is also good.
Or maybe Jack was about his age. Beckham is very talkative anyway, and the two of them are still happy to talk. Overall, the chat was friendly. When leaving, the two sides also left each other's contact information. Make an appointment to have time to continue chatting later.
But soon Jack got a taste of Beckham's power.
The darling of the media.
That's all Jack can say. Because Beckham was chased by the media during this time, Jack and Beckham were very careful. Both of them watched several times and found that there were no reporters, so they came to the agreed place. Even in order to avoid some extreme fans, both of them were careful to find a place where there were not many people.
But the two of them still underestimate the ability of reporters.
In the newspaper the next day, there was already a story about Beckham and Jack talking and laughing together. Jack sometimes even wonders if it would be Beckham's treatment if someone else was sent off with a red card at the end of the World Cup.
Is it because Beckham's fame is so great that newspapers are more willing to fall into the ground?
Jack didn't know the exact reason. But Jack believes there must be a reason for this. Having just bragged about Beckham before the game, he was sent off with a red card in the middle of the game. It must have made many media lose face, so they criticized Beckham even more violently.
Some media criticized Jack as a referee, arguing that he was not a fair evaluation.
But that's just a small thing. Jack didn't even bother with them.
It's not once or twice to appear in front of the media, and Jack is used to it. Only this time Jack was able to appear in front of the media with Beckham, and Jack was still very happy.
"Jack, we're all in League C now."
The season is about to start, and the referees have to do some training camps. For the training camp organised by the FA, Jack was the most relaxed. Because Jack usually pays attention to physical exercise, the FA exam is also easy to pass. Among the current referees, Jack is the number one in terms of physical strength.
The physical training camp has ended. Because this is the English League C, it is completely different from the Anglo-African United. League C, which is already a professional league. Although it is the lowest level of professional league in England, it is a professional league at all. As soon as a referee enters the professional league, it means that he has started to become a real referee.
It's not that being qualified as a referee is a real referee.
There are only about 70 referees in England who can be qualified as the referee of the football league, and these people are the elite of the refereeing industry.
Therefore, starting from the English C League, in addition to the physical fitness test, it is impossible to enforce the game if the physical fitness is not up to standard. Then there will be a study class before the season, and there will be a Premier League referee who will come and give a lecture.
Of course, they come to give lectures, not about the content of the textbooks they have learned before. Rather, it mainly talks about some policies assigned by the referee committee before each season.
The pre-season refereeing committee, the Premier League referees, they meet to decide on the new season. Most of it is a matter of the scale of the game, and there is also the stipulation that some actions are not fouls. This needs to be determined by the referee committee and the Premier League referee before being communicated to the following leagues.
This kind of amateur league like the Anglo-African League is at best a briefing, and not many people in the FA really care. But from the beginning of the English League to the top, there will be someone to convey it. It's like this, there is a study class, and there is a special Premier League referee to explain.
However, there was little interest in the workshop. It's not a child, just look at the notice, why bother to go to class like a student.
After arriving in League C, Jack had more friends.
There are many acquaintances among the people who are now in the class. Including Atkinson, Clattenburg, Andre Marriner, Brett Vaughn, many of the young referees are in League C anyway and have a good relationship with Jack.
"I'm happy too."
I had a good conversation with Beckham some time ago, but as for Ferguson, a big liar, he ignored himself later. He said yes to invite himself to drink, but he didn't move at all, completely forgetting about Jack as a person. Jack could only curse Ferguson in his heart.
But Jack also knew he wasn't enough. Ferguson called to thank you, and it was already good. Saying that you should drink yourself is just a polite word.
Of course, although Jack hopes to increase his friendship with Ferguson and Beckham, Jack also knows that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. And now he is only the referee who enforces the English League C, and everyone is not equal. When you get into the Premier League, you are qualified to communicate with them on an equal footing.
"Jack, I've watched your Anglo-African League game. That's how it should be, starting with the lower leagues, we have to enforce the law strictly. ”
Atkinson has never given up on his views. Jack's enforcement at the Anglo-African Union is very much in line with Atkinson's appetite. As a result, Atkinson was closer to Jack than before.
Atkinson was ambitious.
If he is an ordinary referee, then his ambition may be to become a Premier League referee, or to become an international referee. But Atkinson is clearly more ambitious than that.
That's nothing. Atkinson is confident about becoming a Premier League referee and an international referee.
Atkinson's ambitions don't stop there. Atkinson hopes to become a Premier League referee in the future and get the right to speak in the English refereeing community. Then change the status quo of the current English refereeing scene. Let your ideas become the mainstream of the referee community.
It's great.
That's all I can say. Atkinson is great, but he is also self-aware. Unlike referees like Webber and Jack, who have huge support behind them, Atkinson has only one backstage, and that is Philip Tang. And Philip Don supported Atkinson simply because the two men thought the same thing.
Therefore, he knows that even if he becomes a Premier League referee, his voice in the Premier League referee is estimated to be not too high. So he hopes to find like-minded referees and form a new force in the future. Jack is undoubtedly the referee that Atkinson wants to woo.
"Mark, I'm still saying that."
Unwilling to misunderstand Atkinson, Jack explained: "Physical confrontation is the charm of football. What we should limit are their dangerous moves and additional moves. ”
This was Jack's idea. Every league is different, and each league has its own characteristics. The Premier League is characterized by physical confrontation and high tempo, if you give up this, will it still be the Premier League?
So for Atkinson's method of suppressing physical confrontation, Jack disagrees. Jack agrees only that the English league should be enforced harshly.
"You're always ......"
Atkinson smiled and shook his head. Jack wasn't quite what he thought, but Atkinson wasn't annoyed at all. When he saw Atkinson, Jack remembered Webb.
At the beginning, including Phil Dodd, Mike Dean, and Atkinson, they were no worse than Webb. Everyone's starting point is similar, and there is not much difference in development.
But Webb is now on top of his game and has begun to enforce the law in League One. Phil Dodd is still in League Two, and Mike Dean and Atkinson are now only officiating in League C. Of course, there are occasional League Two officiations, and that brings out the gap.
The same is true of Jack's thoughts now. He had to overcome them himself, just like Weber.
"Jack, did you get the opportunity to enforce the law at the beginning of the League C?"
"Yes. I've been notified in the first round. ”
