"I didn't know such an amateurish, indiscreet performance, Jack. How Referee Lee officiated the World Cup final. ”
On the third day of the match, Ferguson was furious when he faced reporters.
Jack's words after the game were written in the newspaper by reporters. Of course, such a good news topic, of course, they will not let it go. After Ferguson read it, of course, he was furious.
"A referee who was already biased before he officiated the game. I don't think such a referee can enforce the game fairly, and we ask the referee committee to re-examine Jack. Referee Lee enforces the eligibility for this match. ”
Ferguson couldn't help but be angry.
Before the game even started, Jack criticized Cristiano. Ronaldo. This could not have satisfied Ferguson. Of course, he was so angry this time, and he didn't really expect a different referee.
It's about putting pressure on the referee.
Ferguson and Jack have also known each other for many years. Although the relationship cannot be said to be very close, there has been no problem all the while. He knew that such a thing would not really affect Jack. He also knew that Jack was really not fond of Cristiano. Ronaldo, so he wants to put a little pressure on Jack.
Ferguson so, the party Cristiano. The same goes for Ronaldo. He said innocently to the media: "I think Jack. . . Referee Lee has a big bias against me, and the Premier League referee has a big bias against me. As soon as I fell to the ground, they thought I was faking a fall. He is biased and I don't think it will be able to enforce our game impartially. ”
One by one, they all came out.
Manchester United spokesmen have all come out to criticize Jack, arguing that Jack, as a referee, should not have said such things before the game. Of course, this is not the end of the story, many football commentators, various newspaper writers, have criticized Jack.
They all agreed that the referee should not say such biased words before the game.
Because what do you mean by that?
How do you enforce the game, how do you convince the players on both sides of your decision?
If the decision is slightly biased in favour of Tottenham, then the United players will think you are biased. So the penalty was incorrect. They will not be convinced by your decision. Similarly, if you play in favour of Manchester United, then the Tottenham players will think that you are under pre-match pressure. They'll think you're leaning towards Manchester United under pressure.
When the time comes, you will have a few mouths that will be able to speak clearly.
If a referee can't gain the trust of both players, it will be very difficult to play a game. Because any penalty may cause dissatisfaction among the players on both sides.
Therefore, the referee must not have any language about the bias of the game before the game.
"Jack, you're making it hard for me."
Neil. Barry looked at Jack and really smiled wryly.
What are you doing with those words? Cristiano. Ronaldo fakes a fall to win a penalty. What does this have to do with you? You weren't the referee of that game either. You can say nothing but a word, so why say those things.
Jack's affair has now led to tremendous pressure on the referee committee.
After all, it's Manchester United, that's Alex Ferguson. They have a high status in English football and have a lot of quality in English football. Even in the FA, that's a lot to talk about. Many of the vice presidents of the FA in those years were from England giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal.
Although the referee committee is a semi-independent body, it is also subject to the FA and the Premier League. In fact, the so-called institutional autonomy is nonsense. The Adjudication Committee was supposed to be an independent body. After all, referees shouldn't be exposed to too much outside influence. It's a pity that the referee committee is not financially independent, and his money comes from the FA and the Premier League, so how can he really not be affected by outsiders. After all, money is the uncle.
Therefore, an English giant like Manchester United, although they cannot completely decide the decisions of the referee committee, they can also influence many decisions of the referee committee. The influence is still very large.
If it is an ordinary Premier League referee, if such a controversy is caused before the game, the referee committee will directly deprive you of the qualification to officiate the game. Especially if you're angering England's top giants like Manchester United.
Don't talk about the referees' committee, Manchester United just have to do it. You, the referee, certainly don't have a chance to officiate Manchester United.
But the man in front of him was no ordinary referee.
This is currently England's first referee, and the second referee in the history of English referees to officiate in a World Cup final. Jack and Jack's teacher were the only English referees to officiate in a World Cup final. The two men have a lot of influence and prestige in the English refereeing community. Therefore, the English referees committee could not arbitrarily disqualify Jack from officiating the game.
Even to the point where Jack is fully qualified to choose the game himself. So Neil. Barry would smile wryly.
"What's that. It's just a small thing. Neil, you can't handle this yet. ”
"It's simple. Don't you know what Manchester United are capable of, don't you know Ferguson's temper? ”
Neil. Barry was overwhelmed by Jack's indifferent attitude, not knowing what to do. So he shook his head and said, "Jack." Or don't you enforce this game? ”
Neil. Barry tentatively asked Jack.
If it's any other referee, where does he care about that. Not to mention that it is impossible to enforce the next game, or even a few bans. If you talk nonsense and don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how many pounds and taels you have. But in the face of Jack. Neil. Barry can't do that.
"Neil, you're kidding. For the sake of this very thing, you told me not to enforce the law. ”
Jack shook his head.
It's humiliating to lose your law enforcement credentials at the slightest pressure. So Jack laughed and said, "Neil, do you believe it?" Even if I say I don't like a certain team later, before the heavyweight fight, if they are given a choice, they will choose me to enforce the law against them. ”
"What about you?"
Neil. Barry felt funny.
When did Jack start being so good at bragging.
"Neil, it's not like I'm bragging. That's my goal. After the World Cup, I felt very dazed and empty for a while, and I didn't know what to do. I always feel that the World Cup finals are all over, and what do I have to pursue. Recently, though, I've thought about it. I was free to express my opinions, and when UEFA and other clubs were the first to think of me in those heavyweight games, I believe that was the highest level of refereeing. ”
Jack became very serious now.
Because this is Jack speaking his heart. Officiating the World Cup final at such a young age that Jack almost lost himself. But lately, Jack has figured it out.
At any given time, there will be new goals.
When Jack first qualified as a referee, his goal was to become the referee. When it comes time to become a referee in the lower leagues, I want to become a referee in the Premier League. Becoming a Premier League referee is about when you want to be an international referee. Become an international referee, and then I want to officiate international events such as the World Cup and the European Cup.
Now officiating at the World Cup final, Jack's goal is to become the true number one referee in world football.
Although Jack has officiated the World Cup final, he is not yet able to become the world's No. 1 referee. In terms of deterrence, it is not up to the prestige of Corina back then. Back then, as long as you talked about the world's No. 1 referee, then you would talk about Corina. But Jack is not there yet.
It's not Jack's lack of purpose. Jose Mourinho had just arrived at Chelsea and met Barcelona in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. In the first leg, there was a lot of controversy between the two sides. Mourinho repeatedly bombarded the referee at the time, Friske, causing even world-class referees such as Friske to be forced to retire.
It was a big deal, so the whole world of football was watching the second leg at the time. It puts a lot of pressure on the referees in the second leg. Everybody's watching, watching who can enforce the game.
However, attention is attention, but there was no controversy among the referees at the time, and there was only one person as everyone's first choice. That's Italy's bald referee Collina. Because of such a controversial game, it seems to everyone that only Corina can enforce the law. The first thing that comes to UEFA is Collina, the first thing that comes to mind for the two clubs is Collina, and the first thing that comes to mind for the media is Collina. The choice of fans on both sides is still Collina. This was Corina's position in the world of referees at that time.
In such a heavyweight game, there will be controversial games, games that world football is concerned about, and the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Collina.
Jack hoped so, too.
In the future, if there is any heavyweight match, if there is any controversial match, everyone thinks of Jack. It's not just UEFA or the FA, but clubs, the media, the fans who want a fair and high-quality referee, and the first thing that comes to mind is Jack.
This is the highest level of refereeing.
It is also the goal that Jack is chasing now.
But Neil. Barry smiled and didn't listen. World football has been developing for so many years, and there will be excellent referees in every period. There are also many referees who have a reputation as the first referee at a certain time.
But there really isn't a referee who dares to mock a team he wants to enforce before a game, and then be able to convince that pair. Jack: This is a complete fantasy.
But Neil. Barry was not good at sarcastic Jack, so he smiled and said, "Jack, I wish you to really become such a referee." ”
"Thank you."
Jack nodded.
Then he stood up and said, "Neil, don't worry. Manchester United, I'm not going to give you any trouble. It also gives people a look at my strength. ”
"That's for the best."
Neil. Barry sighed. He really wanted Jack not to officiate Manchester United. If anything does go wrong, it will not only hit Jack but also Neil. Barry is very passive.
After all, Jack is currently the No. 1 referee in England, and Jack's setback is equivalent to a setback in the English refereeing community. (To be continued......)
