"Jack, that's good."

"Jack, here."

"Jack, I watched the match between Korea and Spain."

"Jack, over here."

Although because of the World Cup, the Premier League in the 02-03 season will be slightly postponed. But Jack had returned to England in mid-July. And Jack was not only welcomed in China, but also back in England.

Speaking of this World Cup, there are few real successes.

Whether it's FIFA, or the referees' committee, or even the traditional powerhouses. In fact, many people can't say who is the stage for this World Cup.

Like Argentina, Portugal, and France, they were all killed in the group stage and lost their faces. Of course, Italy was even more wronged.

The same is true from the players.

Originally, in this World Cup, it was Zidane who had high hopes and the French team. France is the champion of the 98 World Cup and the champion of the 00 European Cup, and they are even more powerful in this World Cup.

It is claimed to have a stronger lineup than 98 and 00 years. In particular, France, which gathers the top scorers of the three major leagues of the English Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1, can be described as swearing before the World Cup. To continue their French dynasty.

It's a pity to lose.

France really lost. It's not just France that lost, Zinedine Zidane too. Because many people believe that if Zidane leads France to win the World Cup again this time, then Zidane is really the king of the ball. And Zidane has been the king of world football in the past four years.

Especially in the Champions League final before the World Cup, Zidane's flying fairy helped Real Madrid win the ninth Champions League title. At that time, Zidane was really in full swing, waiting for Zidane's wonderful performance in this World Cup.

It's a pity that after Zidane was injured in the warm-up game. France was completely disgraced. It didn't even appear in the group stage.

Zidane is not alone in losing face.

There is also Thierry Henry, the king of guns in the Premier League, and Trezeguet, who won the top scorer in Serie A. Both of them were disappointed.

Of course, to be honest, the most disappointing person in this World Cup is definitely not a certain player. Or a certain team.

It's the whole team of judges.

Miscalculations, mistakes, and controversy make up most of the matches in this World Cup. Start with the group stage. To the knockout round, all kinds of miscalculations and controversies are full of this World Cup. The referees of this World Cup have been questioned enormously, from FIFA and the referee committee to the specific referees. Even in this World Cup, many top referees have misjudged, which has made the media constantly criticize.

Friske, because of a mistake in the match between Spain and Ireland, had to go home early. But fortunately, Spain won, and Friske is the top referee in European football. Although the Spanish team has a lot of criticism about Friesque. But they didn't chase him hard either. After all, everyone will meet in the future, so why tear your face.

There are also the likes of England's top referee Graham. Pol, the situation is even more embarrassing. As the first referee of England, he was kicked back to England by the World Cup Disciplinary Committee after only officiating the group stage in the World Cup.

Of course, the referees who have been criticized are not one or two. The referee team has almost become a group of people shouted at in the World Cup.

Anyway, in this World Cup, the referee team is the most injured. Not all referees are injured, though. The more this happens, the more judges come out on top. Because in a bunch of controversies, the referees who performed well are the easiest to stand out.

The one with the highest reputation in the entire World Cup is Collina.

Corina has always been the world's No. 1 referee supported by FIFA and European football. But he hasn't really had a special masterpiece. It was supposed to be a good opportunity for the European Championship two years ago, but Collina made some mistakes in that tournament. Plus Italy reached the final of the European Championship. So Collina lost his chance at the European Championship final. But this time in the World Cup, he completed his masterpiece.

World Cup finals.

Although he made a mistake in the group stage against Argentina and England, it did not prevent him from becoming the biggest star in the refereeing world at all. With him officiating at the World Cup final, he has become the world's number one referee.

All sorts of touting.

Corina was originally more famous in world football than Merck and Friske, but with this World Cup final. Corina completely overwhelmed both of them in fame. In everyone's eyes, Corina is no longer a referee on the same level as them. In the media, Merck and Friske are simply not comparable to Korina.

This is known as the god-making movement. FIFA and UEFA have given Corina the throne of God, making Collina the new god of refereeing. New authority.

This kind of thing is good to say, and it's not good to say badly.

Except for Collina. Another referee who benefited was Jack.

Ten thousand green from a little red.

At a time when all the referees kept making mistakes and misjudgments, Jack, the young referee, made a big spot. It doesn't matter if it's a match between Brazil and Turkey. or the match between Spain and South Korea, which made the world media speak highly of Jack.

Jack was very popular in China and is still popular in England.

Jack shoots commercials every day in China, and he still does so when he returns to England. There are also a lot of manufacturers lining up here in England waiting for Jack. After this World Cup, there are only two people with such advertising appointments, one is Collina and the other is Jack.

As the Premier League is about to start, so the pre-season Premier League referee meeting has also begun. It was supposed to be a meeting that went through the motions, but with the professionalization of referees, especially Philip. With Don's departure, the power of the Premier League referee has been further enhanced. As a result, the Premier League referee meeting is becoming more and more important.

It's completely different from two years ago, or even a year ago.

At that time, Jack was still the referee of the Premier League, and Jack's seat was at the back. In the Premier League referees' meeting, there is no standing to speak.

But this time it's different.

As soon as Jack entered the conference room, most of the Premier League referees stood up to greet him. In the past, when Jack came here, he also greeted the familiar referee. Those experienced referees would be nice to be able to sit and say hello to Jack. But Jack's qualifications are low, but Jack's status is completely different now.

The Premier League currently has fewer international referees and even fewer World Cup referees. There is no referee who can officiate three games in the World Cup. These are all Jack's strengths.

Therefore, Jack's position as a referee in the Premier League is completely different.

It's only been a month.

"Thank you."

"Mark, it's been a good time."

"Hello Referee Dean."

Jack greeted them one by one. Jack clearly senses the difference in his status, but at this time Jack needs to be humble. Jack knows that he has risen sharply with the World Cup, but Jack is still a referee with very little experience. In conservative English football, it is still about seniority. Jack can't be proud just because he's proud right now.

For Jack, this is definitely not a time to be proud.

"Jack, the World Cup is good."

"Thank you, Mike."

Jack walked over slowly and looked at Mike. Riley nodded. And then there's Neil. Barry stood up, stretched out his hand, smiled at Jack and said, "Jack, we've got a fight for the English referee." ”

"Don't dare, Neil."

Neil. Barry is basically the next head referee. Talking is different from others, everyone else is congratulating Jack, but Neil. Barry opened his mouth to say that Jack was fighting for the English referee.

Actually, Neil. Barry is now also reviewing himself.

Although he was good to Jack before, it was just his personality. He has always had a good temper with young referees, so many referees like Neil. Barry. It is precisely because of his character that he will be appointed as the next chief referee.

It's just Neil. Barry didn't pay that much attention to Jack before, and only looked at Jack as the best of the young referees.

But who could have imagined.

It's only been a long time. Only two years after coming to the Premier League, Jack went from Premier League referee to international referee, and then from international referee to World Cup referee. Then he shined in the World Cup, becoming the only referee in the Premier League to officiate three games in the World Cup.

The status is completely different.

Even Neil. Barry knew that his attitude towards Jack was going to change. Jack's status has risen to the point where even Keys is now keit. Hackett couldn't even ignore it. Not to mention Neil, who is going to take over as the chief referee. Barry.

"No, Neil is right."

When Jack greeted the referees, Keith. Hackett and Joe. Geist, as well as the FA's executive chairman, are in. They're in a good mood right now, too.

The results of the England national team are not bad, and they have reached the quarterfinals. Moreover, it was lost to the eventual champions Brazil, and the FA was also satisfied with the results of Eriksen, the manager.

And for Jack, he is even more satisfied.

Jack is really fighting for the England referee. So Keith. Hackett laughs affirming Neil. Barry's words.

"We start with a round of applause for Graham and Jack. They officiated at the World Cup on behalf of England and it was very hard. ”

Bol was disgraced at the World Cup, but the FA cannot criticise him. Jack's status is rising quickly, but it is not as good as Pol. After all, Bol is the first referee in the Premier League established by the FA for nearly a decade. In the past ten years, the various connections in English football are not simple and can be replaced.

And the FA and the referee committee can't slap themselves in the face, so Bol is still very important.

Of course, there is another reason that Paul. Dugin's side could not say anything either. Because Bol was at least embarrassed in the World Cup, but Gallagher, the big player on their side, didn't even go up to the World Cup, which was even more humiliating. (To be continued......)
