"Give Howard more chances. I look at the second half of the season, I can adjust it. Schedule some League Two games for Howard, and a few League One games. ”

Philip Tang looked at the newspaper with a smile on his face. The referee appears in the newspapers, and most often is willing to be because of a misjudgment. Only then will the referee's name appear in the press.

But look at this. Two Premier League players apologised to the referee, or two referees in the lower leagues, which is a face-saving thing. So Philip Don was in a pretty good mood.

"Isn't it too fast?"

Keith Hackett frowned. Keith Hackett also admired Weber very much, and Webber left a deep impression on Keith Hackett. But anyway, Weber is only twenty-five years old, and he is a very young referee in the refereeing industry.

But according to Philip Tang, the remaining half of the season will be for Webb to officiate in League Two. Next season you will be eligible to officiate in League One, a few more heavyweight games, and maybe even a Premier League referee in two or three years.

That would be too young. Webb even has the chance to become a Premier League referee before the age of 30, a level of promotion that is simply too frightening. In the history of the English top flight, who can become a top flight referee is not a referee in his thirties. Which one has not been in the lower leagues for more than ten years or even nearly twenty years.

"Not fast. It is also a trend for referees to be professional and younger. The entry of some new blood is also a good thing for the Premier League. ”

"But I'm worried that too soon, it's going to be bad for Howard."

Webb is indeed experienced compared to Jack, but he is still much more immature than those veteran referees. When many referees are twenty-five years old, it's already very good to be a referee in the Northern League.

In the lower leagues, when there's not a lot of attention, maybe yes. But once it comes to the Premier League, which has a lot of attention, small mistakes will be magnified by the media. And those Premier League managers and Premier League stars are not easy to get along with. Too young to hold them down.

Keith Hackett is a moderate guy who wants to be steady in everything.

"Nothing. That's what young referees should go through. If you can beat the pressure, you will be a good referee in the future. If you can't overcome even a little pressure, then this person is not worth cultivating. ”

Philip Don has a tough style, so he doesn't like people with weak personalities. In the lower leagues, he has a lot of good referees, and he doesn't like them because of their weak personality. Philip Don likes a decisive referee like Weber, or a referee like Atkinson who has a clear proposition and dares to go head-to-head with the old referee.

"I'll talk to Joe."

Philip Tang and Keith Hackett are both powerful figures on the referee committee, and although they can't cover the sky with one hand, they generally have no major problems as long as the two people agree.

If you want to arrange a young referee in the lower leagues, you won't have too many problems. And Webber is not unskilled, he is the best referee in the city among the young referees.

"As for Jack......"

Philip Downe paused and said to Keith Hackett: "Do you think Jack can enforce the Premier League?" ”

"Yes."

This time, Keith Hackett didn't hesitate and nodded. Then he took out the report on the table and said incredibly: "This is his law enforcement report and data in League Two and League C for more than half a season." I was amazed that I didn't make any mistakes. If it's just as an assistant referee, Jack really is a perfect assistant referee. ”

For referees in soccer leagues, the refereeing committee evaluates them. And those who focus on training are evaluated very carefully. For a promising young referee like Jack, it's even more important in the evaluation.

And Jack's investigation report surprised everyone on the referee committee. Because Jack didn't care about the consistency of the game or his ability to handle things, he didn't have any problems with every decision anyway, from corners and offsides to touchlines. Such technical statistics are very rare for assistant referees.

Data, data is everything. Such an outstanding performance, even the current international assistant referees at the time of their debut, including now, no one can compare with Jack's statistics. From the point of view of the assistant referee, Jack is a very perfect referee.

"Why, Philip. Do you want Jack to be a Premier League assistant referee? ”

"I have thoughts on that."

Keith Hackett had no objection. An assistant referee is not the same as a referee, and appointing a Premier League referee is not an easy matter. Because there is a limit to the number of Premier League referees, and it is not only the FA referees committee, but also the Premier League referees need to discuss.

But the assistant referee didn't say that much. The status of assistant referees in the Premier League is far inferior to those veteran League One referees, and even inferior to League Two referees.

"I'll talk to Jack."

Keith Hack nodded. Hackett knew that Philip Tang wasn't talking about Jack Lee, but Jack Taylor. Jack Taylor is Jack Lee's teacher, and his teacher's opinion is still needed about Jack Lee's future.

"Okay."

…………

"Referee Weber, Referee Li, I'm sorry for what happened last time."

Hendry and Sherwood set up wine and invited Webb and Jack Lee. Originally, for referees, there should be no communication with coaches and players in football. But these are all rigid rules. After all, no one can live in a vacuum, and since the referee is a person inside the football world, how can he not have a relationship with the coach and the player.

Like many Premier League coaches. If nothing else, let's talk about the current Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan. This man was one of the biggest names in English football when he was young, that is, when he was a player. It could even be said that at the time, he was one of the best strikers in European football.

After retiring as a player, he returned to coaching and is now the head coach of Newcastle. Kevin Keegan is known for his good temper in English football, but he has been in English football for decades and has been friends with many referees in the Premier League.

Including Dalglish, and now Ferguson, who is now famous in the Premier League, they all like to drink with the referee after the game. It's not that it's just coaches who have a drink after the game, in fact, there is also such an exchange between coaches and referees. While something like this may seem problematic, that's what football is all about. It's not that when you become a referee, you really don't interact with coaches and players.

So after receiving the invitation from Sherwood and Hendry, Webb and Jack did not refuse. Both have the same goal, to become Premier League referees in the future, and of course international referees if they can. And in the Premier League, it's not a bad thing to get to know these Premier League stars.

"No, everyone is used to the game."

Webb waved his hand. In terms of football status, Webber and Jack Lee are not as good as Hendry and Sherwood. However, two people are referees, and it is possible to enforce the referees of the Premier League in the future. So I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Everyone didn't know each other well, and they just talked about trivial things.

"Howard, we know them, how do we grasp it when we enforce the law in the future?"

After drinking, only Webb and Jack remained, and Jack asked his own question. After all, Jack has been in this line for too short a time, and he doesn't know many top referees. Compared with Jack, Webb has a very wide network in this industry, and even knows many Premier League referees.

"Look at the relationship. Sometimes the relationship is good and proper care is for sure. As long as there are no major deviations, it is fine. ”

Jack nodded. Jack is definitely not a saint and does not believe that there is an absolutely fair referee in football. Referees are also human beings, and they also have their own circles of life and their own opinions. Even if it's not because of ability, it's not really fair and fair. As long as it is not a genuine, unbridled eccentricity, there is certainly proper care during the game.

Just like Jack. A violent team like Millwall, and their pesky fans, Jack really doesn't like it. If there is an opportunity to enforce Millwall, Jack is definitely harsher on them. This is the human heart.
