14 Attention

"Philip, you're really ......"

Jack Taylor couldn't laugh or cry as he watched Philip Tang arrive with a team of men. Philip Don not only came in person, but also brought a lot of technicians.

"Jack, you should know me. I'm not a big talker, and I don't like big talkers. But I like true geniuses. ”

As England's No. 1 referee, Jack Taylor's connections in refereeing are unmatched. Jack Taylor is a very harsh referee as a referee, a rare harsh referee in English football. And Philip Don was also a very strict man.

The relationship between the two is not very close, but they are also relatively familiar people.

"Philip, do you really want to ......"

"Yes."

The people brought by Philip quickly set up equipment in the stadium. Especially on both sides of the goal. Philip Tang clearly wanted to see if Jack was bragging.

If it's in the Premier League, you just have to look at the replay to tell if it's offside. Because when the Premier League is broadcast, there are more than ten shots in the whole stadium that can take care of all aspects. One of the shots is definitely able to tell if it's offside.

But in the sixth division, there is not even a broadcast. It's great to have one or two cameras in the whole stadium to follow the ball, and to be able to get the local station to broadcast it. So Philip Don simply brought a pair of technicians with him to test Jack.

"Jack, don't blame me."

Philip Tang suddenly sneered and said, "I know that little kid is your disciple. But if he does make an offside mistake, I'll let him get out of the referee at that time. ”

"Huh."

Jack Taylor laughed. This is indeed Philip Don's style. As he himself said, he himself is not a person who likes to talk big, and he is also a person who does not like to talk big. When he was in the FA, he was known for his tough character.

Jack impressed him because of Jack's self-confidence. But once this self-confidence is bragging, Philip Don will definitely destroy Jack by then. Even if he was a disciple of Jack Taylor. He would never tolerate such a referee in his team.

"Philip, I believe in my disciple."

"Jack, we'll see."

Philip Tang is a strong man. If Jack was talking big, then kicking Jack out of the referee team was definitely what Philip Don did. Similarly, if Jack is really that good, Philip Don will not skimp on his praise.

"Jack, don't be burdened."

After the first law enforcement, three months have passed unconsciously. Standing back on the playing field, Jack stepped on the turf of the court and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fuck, it's finally back.

Clattenburg was the fourth referee of the match, and when he saw Jack's appearance, he patted Jack on the back. Unlike all the referees who don't like Jack, Clattenburg does.

When Clattenburg first arrived in the Northern League two years ago, he was much more ostracized than Jack. At the age of eighteen, he became an assistant referee in the Northern League, which can be said to have made the history of the Northern League, and it should even be said that it made the history of refereeing in English football after World War II. For those referees in their thirties, Clattenburg is a thorn in the side.

It's just that Clattenberg can endure more than Jack, so he can get mixed up to the point where he is now.

"I'm fine. Thank you. ”

"It's going to be fine after a while."

Referees who are able to establish themselves in the Northern League, and who are ambitious, are weaving their own network. Clattenburg established himself in the Northern League at a young age, and of course has his own means of survival.

Webb, Clattenburg, Jack, to be able to establish themselves in the Northern League at such a young age, they all have supporters behind them. It is precisely because of this that they need to cooperate even more. Although Clattenburg doesn't know who is behind Jack, he can argue with the referee and find the assistant referee for the first time in the history of English football, and it can be seen that Jack has strong support behind him after only a month of banning the whistle. Otherwise, in a situation like Jack's, even relegation to the regional league is possible.

For such a person, Clattenberg is willing to befriend. You may be able to use it sometimes.

…………

"Toot-"

As the whistle blew, Bol pointed to the sidelines of the field and smiled. Because Jack on the sidelines had already raised the offside flag high.

The player who was ruled offside was very unhappy and immediately ran in front of Jack and shouted: "That's not offside, it's not offside." I plugged it in from behind. ”

Emotional and loud, but Jack doesn't care. After all, during the game, whether it is the referee, the players, or even the coach, they are all in a state of excitement. Talking out loud is a very common thing.

"You plugged it in from behind. But you cut too fast and the ball goes too slowly. So when you pass the ball, you're in an offside position. ”

Jack immediately explained to him. Because Jack is a rookie referee, the explanation is very detailed. In the lower leagues, the veteran assistant referees didn't have the time to explain this to the players. Saying that you are offside is offside, what do you dare to do?

"No, no. Shit, I really didn't have an offside position. ”

The player looked at Jack's young face and was also underestimated, shouting at Jack. Jack became more cautious because of the events of the first game. But seeing this kid's fierce appearance, he also replied loudly: "It's offside." You go back now, this is the first warning. ”

Different positions lead to different ways in which people deal with problems. I think when Jack played the game, he yelled at the referee at every turn. I didn't feel it at the time, but when I became a referee, it was a completely different feeling.

I'm the referee and I'm the authority on the field. Rightly or wrongly, the players have to follow. Therefore, he immediately warned the other party. At this time, Webber came to the side, first pointed to the player, and then said to Jack: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"No, just communication."

"Okay."

Webb turned to look at the player and said, "It's an offside position. ”

The player looked at Jack and then at Webb as he slowly returned to his position. Sure enough, it was the referee's deterrent power. Webb saw the player go back and said to Jack, "Good job." ”

Not to praise Jack for the offside decision, but to praise Jack's attitude towards the player just now. Just a simple affirmation, and then Webb blew the whistle and continued to play.

Jack smiled for the first time in a long time. Webber was a fierce man at the beginning, but he was a very good referee on the field. Know how to regulate the affairs of the referee team and know how to respect the members of the referee team.

Webb has plenty of support for the linesman. Although I don't like Jack very much, I don't have any denial of Jack's offside penalty, and I respect Jack's judgment very much. Jack was very grateful to Webb.

"How's it going?"

Every time Jack's decision was made, Philip Don confirmed it. Philip Tang didn't have the patience to prove it one by one after the game, so every time the offside penalty was awarded, the staff below sent a confirmation signal directly to Philip Tang.

The sixth tier of the English league is still very physical in terms of physical strength, so the pace of the game is also very fast. What is lacking is tactical ability and the basic skills of the players, so there are a lot of blind big feet. Similarly, the number of various offsides is also unclear.

If there are more than ten offsides in a Premier League game, then there are simply too many offsides in this game. But in a lower league like the Northern League, the number of offsides is unclear.

"You're really not bragging, this disciple."

Philip Tang couldn't help but look at Jack Taylor. So far, Jack has been awarded seven offside decisions without any problems. Jack was able to accurately judge offside.

Of course, offsides in the lower leagues are not as difficult to judge as in the Premier League. Because a lot of offsides in the Premier League are millimeters, the strikers are smarter and more powerful. And the strikers in the lower leagues are not so good.

But being able to judge seven offside judgements without a single mistake still makes Philip Don very much appreciated.

"Philip, I didn't tell you how I knew him."

Jack Taylor was in the middle of the exam, and Jack was the only one who wrote offside on the paper. Then the rest of the months watched the game with Jack and made all kinds of offside judgments, and I told Philip Tang one by one.

"Is there really such a god?"

The linesman's ability to accurately judge offside only shows that he is an excellent assistant referee. But according to Jack Taylor, Jack's ability to accurately judge offsides and fake falls in all positions is not an ordinary talent.

"Jack, tell me. How the hell did he judge? ”

"If you see two people walking together from a distance, you can't tell where they are. But my disciple can, he can accurately judge the position of two people, and he can judge which of the two of them is in front of and who is behind. ”

"Amazing, really amazing."

Philip Tang couldn't help but look at Jack running around below, and he was really amazed. Such an outstanding talent is a good seedling to be a referee. In the future, referees will be professional, and what is needed is such excellent referees.

"Jack, I still can't fully believe it, though. I'm going to have to take a good look at how he performs. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. ”

Philip Tang is Philip Don. In front of a first referee like Jack Taylor, nothing has changed. Despite Jack Taylor's assurances, Philip Don continues to see how Jack is doing.
