"Judge Handour?"

Villar frowned as he looked at the list of referees for the quarterfinals, especially the rosters of the South Korean and Spanish national teams. This World Cup was born from the joint cooperation between Blatter and Zheng Mengzhun. Otherwise, it would not be the Korea-Japan World Cup, but the Japan World Cup.

The specific things between Blatter and Zheng Mengzhun are not clear to Villar.

But Villar knows a little. That is the game of the South Korean team, and the referees from some small countries and weak countries are chosen. Villar can guess that only the referees of these small and weak countries are better off the field.

Similarly, these inexperienced referees from small countries, under the pressure of tens of thousands of fans at home, are prone to misjudgments. And under this suffocating pressure, most of them will be biased towards the host.

That's for sure.

Originally, in South Korea's game, Villar would not interfere. This was long before the World Cup, and Villar and Blatter had a tacit understanding. Blatter wants to give face to Zheng Mengzhun, so he hopes that Villar will not interfere in the South Korean game.

Of course, Villar also complied with this rule.

However, the controversy caused by the South Korean team is growing. After the match against Italy, Villar said on behalf of the FIFA referee committee that Moreno's decision was not a major error.

When he said this, Villar really felt ashamed.

Such a penalty is destined to remain on the pillar of shame in the World Cup. Especially if Italy loses, if Italy wins, then it's easy to say anything. But now it's Italy that loses, then it's a huge scandal. But he still has to maintain Moreno. This is really logic.

But now South Korea has met Spain. I am the president of the Spanish Football Association, how can I watch South Korea eliminate Spain. But Villar wanted to intervene. It's not that easy, either. Because this violates the tacit understanding between himself and Blatter.

Villar is honest, in fact, he is a politician.

He's not an angry youth. Not a man like Don Quixote. He doesn't want to offend Blatter, now Blatter's position is becoming more and more secure, and Villar still needs Blatter's support in FIFA. Otherwise, in the referee committee, he may not be able to suppress the president of the Brazilian Football Federation, Shetra.

For Villar, keeping his rights is the most important thing. Therefore, he is thinking about how to not offend Blatter, and he can also help the Spanish national team.

Blatter, or Jung Mong-joon, chose the referee of the match between Spain and South Korea as Egyptian referee Handour. But Villar was very dissatisfied and had to change the referee.

But there are no excuses, and there is no substitute.

"You want to be replaced?"

"Of course."

Villar nodded. Then he said, "It's a pity that I don't know how to talk to Joseph?" I don't know which referee to recommend. ”

"In fact, there is a very suitable candidate, I don't know if you dare to choose him."

"Who?"

Villar heard Sennes. Erjie was very interested in what he said, and immediately asked Erjie. Senes. Erjie smiled and said: "You said, you have to change the referee now, where is it so easy." But after all, you are the president of the Spanish Football Federation, and when you talk to Joseph in this capacity, he can't completely ignore it. Of course, you don't recommend those old referees, those top referees, just recommend a young referee to him. ”

"Young referee?"

"Yes. What does Zheng Mengzhun need? Why does he need referees from small and weak countries? In addition to doing something off the field, it can put a lot of pressure on them. Pressure at home. So don't recommend those top referees, recommend a young referee and put him at ease. ”

See Villar in contemplation. Senes. Erger continued: "Just changing the referee, not the other assistant referees, I'm sure they can still accept it. I believe that Zheng Mengzhun has done a good job of those assistant referees. In this case, it is better to keep those assistant referees to calm his heart. ”

"That's right."

Villar looked at Sennes again. Elger. I was very impressed in my heart. Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, Senes. Elger usually looks smiling. Still very smart.

It is true that Villar and Blatter have some agreements in private, or rather tacit understanding. But at that time, there was a tacit understanding between the president of FIFA and the chief referee of FIFA. But now it's a different story. He did not bargain with Blatter as the boss of the referee committee, but spoke to him as president of the Spanish Football Federation.

Blatter couldn't help but give him this face.

You Zheng Mengzhun has his own interests, and Villar is also the president of the Spanish Football Federation, and he also has his own interests. Blatter can't offend one for the sake of the other, and he definitely needs to balance it.

"You say it's best to find whom, and Joseph won't object."

"Jack. Referee Lee. ”

"Jack?"

"Yes. He is young, only twenty-six years old this year. If you think about it, such a young referee is more suitable to officiate this game. Whether it's Joseph or not, Zheng Mengzhun doesn't think there will be much opposition. If you choose an experienced and powerful referee, they will probably really oppose it. ”

Villar's fingers flicked on the table, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

"yes, how did I forget Jack."

"And now we have fewer and fewer referees on our hands."

"Yes."

The World Cup is stricter. Even a top referee like Frieske, a referee with absolute connections and strength, has to go home after a controversial decision. Not to mention the other referees.

There are too many controversies in this World Cup, and there are too many to count. Many referees had to pack up and go home in advance.

Now there are not many referees left.

…………

"Teacher, I haven't done anything good, how can so many good things befall me."

Jack couldn't help but wonder.

My luck is so good, I just received a notice from the FIFA referee committee. Jack was chosen to referee the World Cup quarter-knockout match between South Korea and Spain.

World Cup quarter-knockouts.

Jack really never dreamed of it. When I first wanted to be a referee, there was some impulsiveness. At that time, Jack's dream was to one day be a World Cup final referee.

But Jack has always been realistic.

Jack's portrayal of himself is simple. At the age of thirty, he officiated in the World Cup. Around the age of thirty-four, he was able to officiate the knockout rounds of the World Cup. At the age of thirty-eight, he officiated in the World Cup final.

But reality is more legendary than imagined.

This is Jack's first time in the World Cup, and he didn't expect to officiate the World Cup quarter-finals soon. If this game is enforced. Jack's first appearance in the World Cup was to officiate three World Cup matches.

Too unrealistic. It's really unrealistic.

Jack even felt like he was dreaming.

"I don't know. Still, Jack. It's not a good game, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Hear Jack. Taylor's words, Jack's expression immediately became very serious. What his teacher meant, Jack understood. South Korea is the host, and in this World Cup, South Korea's game has been controversial.

The match between South Korea and the United States, the match between South Korea and Portugal, and the match between South Korea and Italy all had varying degrees of controversy. Of course, the most controversial was the match against Italy.

The advantages of the hosts?

Zheng Mengzhun's ability?

Anyway, the South Korean game is full of all kinds of controversy. So much so that a lot of media are analyzing. In the end, Zheng Mengzhun interfered in the referee's judgment as the vice president of FIFA, or Zheng Mengzhun bribed the referee as an internationally rich man.

Everyone is confused.

Because of the match between South Korea and Italy, the eyes of the world are now focused on the match between South Korea and Spain. It's definitely not a good game.

"I know, teacher."

"Jack, do you have any ideas?"

"Whatever it should be is what it is."

Jack's answer was simple. But it was also Jack's thoughts. Whatever it is, Jack doesn't have many other ideas. Jack won't benefit from South Korea's previous fight, and this game will suppress them. Similarly, Jack will not favor South Korea because they are the hosts and because Jung Mong-joon is the vice president of FIFA.

Jack is not short of money. is not afraid of Zheng Mengzhun. After all, Zheng Mengzhun is only the vice president of FIFA, and he can't care about Jack, the English referee. Whatever it should be is what it is.

"Yes. Jack, I'll tell you a few more words before the game. This game is watched all over the world, and it will be judged however it should be. Don't be affected in any way. And also. On the field you are everything. Don't worry about the assistant referee, if you're sure you're right, then don't worry about what the assistant referee thinks. ”

"Assistant referee?"

"Yes. Don't worry about anything else. There is no mistake in such a game. The final condemnation will be you, the referee. So you don't have to worry about the assistant referees. And those assistant referees who know who they are representing. Don't bother with them. ”

"I see."

Jack nodded. Although his teacher didn't say it explicitly, Jack heard him off-topic. His teacher clearly believed. In this World Cup, South Korea did some off-the-field moves.

These assistant referees may all be affected by these off-field disturbances.

Referees are used to listening to assistant referees when it comes to offside, corners, touchlines and even penalties. Taylor's meaning is simple. It's just to let Jack not have to pay attention to these assistant referees.

Jack thought so too.

South Korea as the host. If you really do something to those assistant referees, then you have to pay attention. Even if it is a mistake by the assistant referee, it is himself who is the referee who is infamous after the game. So Jack agrees with the teacher.

If the assistant referee made the right decision, Jack would obey it. But the penalty was wrong, and Jack ignored it. (To be continued......)
