"Me?"

"Yes. It's Judge Jack Lee. ”

"Why me?"

"Because you're the hottest referee in the media world right now."

Jack didn't say anything, just fought back at Kevin Keegan, but he angered many people. Kevin Keegan was the leading scorer of the Liverpool dynasty at the time, the best striker in English football at the time, and even the best striker in European football. He then left Liverpool and England for Germany, where he joined Hamburg. In Hamburg he won the European Footballer of the Year two years in a row. Here he is still the best striker in the world.

As a player, he was a superstar.

After becoming a manager, he led Newcastle to great results. Although he failed to win the title, he became manager of Newcastle at a time when Newcastle were in the relegation zone of the second tier of England. But Keegan has taken Newcastle to the heights of being able to compete for the Premier League title. Had it not been for Ferguson's comeback miracle, Kevin Keegan's tenure at Newcastle would have been perfect.

With such good results, Kevin Keegan has a good temper, so he is very popular in English football.

Now being talked back by a little-known referee like Jack is considered a big rebellion by many people in English football. What level of talent can criticize Kevin Keegan?

At least managers at the level of Alex Ferguson and Dalglish. Jack Lee, this bastard out of nowhere, dares to sarcastically mock Kevin Keegan. Therefore, Jack was criticized by many celebrities in the FA, including some bigwigs in the refereeing industry, who also criticized Jack, thinking that Jack did not know the rules and did not know how to respect his predecessors.

Jack is really on fire, it's really on fire. The more people criticize him, the more people know about him. Jack, a small Anglo-African referee, has become the hottest referee in recent times.

No, it's the Sun reporter who finds Jack now. The Sun was willing to give Jack a small space to comment on each round of Premier League matches as a referee.

Originally, there were various columns in The Sun. Many famous coaches, whistles and even famous players in the Premier League have their own columns in The Sun to express their opinions. There are referees too, and top referees like Conor Gallagher have their own columns in the newspapers. Give your opinion on the Premier League.

But that's also the limit.

What is Jack? What qualifies Jack for such a column. Just because Jack is a bit famous now.

Jack was self-aware, so he pointed to himself and said, "David, do you think I look like an idiot?" ”

"Huh?"

The Sun came with a very young reporter named David Kyle. He didn't understand what Jack meant, so he was inexplicable. Jack laughed: "I can criticize the coach and the players as much as I want, because I don't have a line with them. Even if I criticize them and fight with them, it won't affect me. But if I were asked to judge the Premier League, you really thought I was an idiot. ”

Cut.

Jack is not afraid of Kevin Keegan, who is very popular in English football, because Kevin Keegan is just a coach even if he is very popular. As a disciple of Jack Taylor, and as a referee favored by the top of the referee committee, such as Philip Tang and Keith Hackett, Jack is not afraid of Keegan.

Don't talk about Keegan, even if it's a manager like Alex Ferguson, Jack wouldn't really be afraid. Because of Ferguson's influence, in addition to his strength and fame, he also depends on Manchester United Club, and then through the president of Manchester United to influence the FA, and then to the referee committee. After a few turns, there was no direct contact with Jack.

But the Premier League referee is different. Once Jack really doesn't know the sky is high and dares to comment on a Premier League game, he will offend the Premier League referee at that time. After all, Jack, a referee in a lower league, dares to comment on the decisions of Premier League referees, which in itself is disrespectful to them. They will definitely be offended.

What is the status of the Premier League referee, that is the backbone of the English refereeing community, even the dominant force. There are many things in the refereeing industry in English football, and Premier League referees can be directly involved.

Now in the lower leagues, Jack's future has nothing to do with the Premier League referees. As long as the top of the referee committee, headed by Philip Tang, appreciates Jack, then there is no problem. It's no problem all the way to the League One manager.

But when it comes to the Premier League, the referee is different. If Jack wants to become a Premier League referee, he has to pass the current Premier League referee. If they objected, Philip Don couldn't just go his own way. In fact, if the Premier League referee really wants to object, then it is a fantasy for Jack to want to enforce the Premier League. That's how good the Premier League referee is.

Jack is not a fool. Jack's goal is to become a Premier League referee, how can he really offend them.

"Jack, just a brief discussion of the controversy surrounding each round of the Premier League. It doesn't make you really judge a Premier League referee. ”

"What's the difference?"

Although Jack has studied well since he was a child, he is definitely not a good stubble. Fights are commonplace. And Jack, who is only twenty-two years old, is not too afraid of the so-called predecessors.

The reason why he is reluctant to judge Premier League games is not because he respects those Premier League referees. It's just that Jack doesn't want to offend the Premier League referee and is afraid of what lies ahead.

"It's our newspaper that will take out the controversial penalties of each round of Premier League games and let you comment on them. It doesn't involve too much of the Premier League referee. ”

"Controversial penalties? Comments? ”

Jack smiled slightly, because this actually meant the same thing. Commenting on Premier League games is also about paying attention to the controversial decisions in them. It's not about criticizing the Premier League referee.

But it can be criticized, and it can be praised.

The so-called controversial penalty is that everyone has different opinions, so there will be a controversial penalty. Like a lot of ironclad things, it is not enough to be controversial and punished.

The most controversial penalty was the issue of fake falls. Is it a real foul, or is it not a foul. This is the most likely to become a controversial decision. And such a thing is basically the public saying that the public is reasonable, and the mother saying that the mother is reasonable.

"Yes."

Jack nodded slowly. Although The Sun was not an orthodox newspaper, it still had a great influence in England. As a referee of the Anglo-African Union, he can "make a big noise" here, and he is also a representative of popularity.

Jack was also glad to accept it.

…………

"This kid is really a troublemaker."

Philip Don laughed as he watched the newspapers bombard Jack. These bombardments were made by Jack because of Kevin Keegan, which angered many people.

And Jack made a bet with the manager during the game. All became the basis for the shelling.

In English football, referees are not the darlings of the media. Referees rarely appear in the media, but the name Jack Lee has appeared several times in the newspapers these days.

This made Philip Tang look at it with relish.

"Jack seems to have a natural connection with the media. It has only been more than two years since his debut, but he has appeared in the media many times. ”

Keith Hackett also laughed. Jack Lee, a twenty-two-year-old young referee. They appear in the media far more often than Premier League referees. Even Jack has appeared in the media more times and attention in two years than many Premier League referees in their 20-year law enforcement career.

Some people are born with the ability to attract media attention. That's what happened to Jack.

"Connected with the media?"

Philip Don nodded. Jack was indeed born with a relationship with the media.

"This kid has a good image."

Professionalization of referees, this has been shouting for I don't know how many years, but it has not succeeded until now. Since the start of the "Bosman Act" in European football, the salaries of players have skyrocketed.

However, the increase in referees' salaries has been limited. Now the most profitable referee in the Premier League will not earn more than 30,000 pounds in a season. This is because these referees are all international referees, and they can officiate these games in the Champions League, so they can reach 30,000 pounds.

The average Premier League referee rarely earns more than £20,000. The income of Premier League referees, put on many Premier League players, is a week's salary.

This displeased many referees. As the head of the referee, Philippe Don is also very dissatisfied. Therefore, Philip Tang is trying to promote the professionalization of referees, so that the income of referees can be increased.

However, there is also a lot of opposition from the FA and Premier League clubs. To put it bluntly, it is also a conflict of interests. Philippe Don is earning more money for referees, but the FA and Premier League clubs are not. Because there are so many referees in England, there are hundreds of referees even at the national level. Among them, there are more than 70 referees at the national level, including Premier League referees. Once these people's incomes alone increase, it will be tens of millions of pounds. Add in some other spending, and that's tens of millions of pounds.

Such a large amount of expenditure, in addition to the FA, the other major part is the Premier League clubs to come up. The referee's salary is split between the FA and the club. They don't want to come up with this money, so there is a lot of opposition.

Now that Jack is so connected to the media, Philip Don is starting to have some ideas.
