"Okay, Jack."

Jack of course told his teacher the first thing about the good news. Jack Taylor has definitely helped the most in Jack's development. Jack was able to get to where he is in such a short period of time because he was backed by Jack Taylor.

So Jack came to Jack Taylor as soon as possible to report the good news to him. Sure enough, when Jack Taylor heard it, he was immediately very happy.

"This development has exceeded my expectations."

Jack Taylor was even happier than Jack himself.

Jack Taylor has been in the refereeing industry for nearly 30 years, and he has not only promoted many people along the way. And in the 20 years since his retirement, he has also promoted many referees.

And Jack was a disciple of Jack Taylor in his later years.

He is also the disciple of Jack Taylor's highest hopes. Jack Taylor's early disciples all had the worst possible times. When they were in the lower leagues, it was when the English league was at its strongest.

At that time, the English league was the dominant league in Europe, Liverpool, Villa, and Nottingham Forest won the Champions League in a row, and Everton and Tottenham Hotspur also won the League Cup.

The Premier League, which was also thriving, was also a well-known one, and although it was not as good as Jack Taylor's achievements, they were at a very good level at the time.

But when Jack Taylor's disciples arrived in the Premier League, they encountered the biggest cold snap in the English league.

In the past, those who could go to the referee position in the Premier League were basically over 35 years old. Then, when you reach the age of forty-five, you usually choose to retire. Therefore, the former Premier League referees, in fact, the current Premier League referees are also, they basically stay in the Premier League for about ten years and then retire.

And Jack Taylor's disciple was unlucky.

They became Premier League referees at the time of the mid-to-late eighties when the English league was banned by UEFA, and then in the early nineties when the English league had the least place in European football. Because of their referees, they didn't get good results.

This is the tragedy of the times, and Jack Taylor has always been disappointed.

So Jack Taylor has the highest expectations for his youngest disciple. Hopefully he'll be able to give himself a fight.

Jack did it even better than Jack Taylor could have imagined. He became a Premier League referee at the age of 25 and looks like he is going to be an international referee at the age of 26.

"It's all the teachers who teach well."

"Don't put gold on me. I could have spoken for you before, but since Philippe became chief referee, I can't speak. It's the result of your hard work that will make Philip fall in love with it. Philip's eyes are high. ”

Jack Taylor doesn't take credit for that.

Jack Taylor was unhappy with the now domineering Philip Don, because Philip Don didn't respect anyone else at all. And he was too strong, which made the old referee very unhappy with Philip Don.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Jack Taylor knows that this time Jack can have such an opportunity, it is definitely the credit of Philip Tang.

"The other referees felt that way, too. Referee Mike Riley, I spoke to him some time ago, and he also thinks that Philip Down is becoming more and more arbitrary. Can't listen to other people. ”

For Philip Don's domineering, everyone in the English football refereeing world knows it.

However, although many people are dissatisfied, there will be nothing for a while. After all, in the professionalization of referees, Philip Tang is the first major contributor to the charge, hard work.

And even after becoming the chief referee, he kept arguing with the FA and the Premier League to fight for the interests of the referee. Therefore, even if someone is dissatisfied with his hegemony and dictatorship, no one will really do anything.

But after a long time, no one can say well.

"Philip, he's, really."

Jack Taylor shook his head. Who in the refereeing world does not know that Philip Tang has excellent ability, although he was not successful when he was a referee, but like many people, it was because he did not meet the good time.

But even so, he is still a very good referee in English football.

Moreover, he called for the professionalization of referees to begin, and was the first core figure in the professional team of referees. Capable and courageous, but more and more domineering.

"But his affairs don't care about yours, so don't take a stand."

"I understand."

Philippe Don's domineering is at odds with the top of the refereeing committee and some of the Premier League's top referees. It has nothing to do with a new Premier League referee like Jack.

A referee like Jack is not qualified to get involved in high-level issues.

Jack doesn't have time or qualifications to take care of this stuff right now. Jack is now just quietly waiting for FIFA's notification, wanting to secure his own international referee.

International referees, FIFA and national football associations have a tacit understanding. This is especially true of the FAs of England, Italy and Spain. None of them will recommend international referees because they all have their own faces.

In European football, the performance of their respective clubs in Europe is the face of football in various countries. Similarly, the performance of referees in the world arena is also the face of football in various countries.

Therefore, they do not recommend international referees indiscriminately. Even if there are some personal factors, but this referee must at least have a certain level, that's for sure.

Therefore, FIFA basically agrees with the international referees recommended by the national football associations.

Sure enough, Jack received a notification from FIFA a month later.

In May 2001, as the Premier League was about to end, both Jack and Webb received their international refereeing certificates from FIFA at the same time.

This is not a common thing.

Because of this, theoretically, Jack can officiate various competitions in the world. From the UEFA Cup, the Champions League to the European Cup, the World Cup. Of course, theory is always theory, and it is not enough to enforce the Champions League, the European Cup, and the World Cup.

But in any case, the quota for international referees is in hand.

This is definitely a leap forward in the refereeing industry.

…………

"Philip Don, this is crazy."

It didn't take long for Jack to bask in the joy of getting an international referee, and after only two months, Jack was furious. Of course, in addition to his anger, Jack also has deep concerns about Philip Don.

Philip Tang is crazy.

In July 2001, Philippe Don wrote a letter to every Premier League referee. The content is very simple, which is to explain some penalty issues in the new season.

This is just routine.

It is also a right that belongs to the chief referee.

In the past, such letters had no substance. Basically, the secretary writes some letters of blessings and greetings. Because the real stuff is discussed in the pre-season Premier League referee meeting and those things are determined there.

But this year's letter is completely different.

The moment Jack got the letter, his face was very ugly. This is not an ordinary greeting letter, but Philip Don asking all Premier League referees to take more stringent enforcement in the new season.

Of course, Philip Don was a strict advocate of law enforcement, and there is no problem with that.

But he writes today, and the contents outweigh the issue of strict enforcement. Stripping to celebrate is a yellow card, a back tackle is a yellow card, a player scolding the referee is a yellow card, a player not entering the field from a specified place is a yellow card, a player is a yellow card for faking a fall, a player is a yellow card for pedaling, and a lot of rules are yellow cards anyway.

What players should do and what to do is in the rules.

If that were all there was to it, Jack wouldn't have been so surprised. Because in addition to all the rules for the players, there are also very strict rules for the referees.

For example, a player is being treated on the sidelines because of an injury. If you enter the venue, you will not come in from the designated place. It's not just the players who are punished with a yellow card, if the referee doesn't give a yellow card, then not only will the points be deducted, but also the fine.

It's a small thing.

Why do you say that?

Although there are rules in the rules of football, in reality, who cares about that. As long as the referee agrees, players can enter the stadium from any location. And the referee doesn't care too much, after all, such a thing has no impact on the game.

But Philip Don is going to make sure that it's not a joke.

If you are too strict with the players, you will definitely be dissatisfied with the players, and even the club. It's a mess to be so strict with the referees now.

In the past, this kind of thing had to be discussed together, but this time it was clearly Philip Tang's arbitrariness. This is also too much.

"No, I'm going to find Philip Don."

Although Jack is not close to Philip Don, and he doesn't like Philip Don's style of doing things. But he is still grateful for Jack all these years. It was clear that Philip Don had lost his mind and was the supreme judge in the judging world.

Jack was going to warn Philip Don that if he was so bent on doing this, it would be easy for everyone to betray his family.
