Chapter 25 Forgot to bring the card



Chelsea has found their feeling again! After they stole the ball from Stoke City, they kept it firmly under their control!

They made several precise passes in a short distance, passed through the midfield silently, and were about to approach Stoke City's penalty area!

Richard shouted: "Stoke City are getting a little anxious! They can't wait to get the ball back!"

Andy: "Stoke City tackle! This is in the front of the midfield! They are very brave!"

"Lampard fell to the ground. This time it was a foul. We can clearly see from this angle that he was knocked down!"

Clattenburg sprinted over, but there were too many players in the midfield and he couldn't see clearly at first.

So he asked Alvin who was running along with him not far away.

The latter took a look at the Stoke City midfielder who spread his hands and looked innocent, and gave Clattenburg an affirmative answer: "Stoke City fouled, he touched the player first."

Clattenburg nodded, put down the whistle and reached into his trouser pocket.

However, his expression suddenly became a little confused.

In full view of the surrounding players, the stares of more than 40,000 fans on the scene, and the confusion of the audience in front of the TV, the referee Mark Clattenburg felt left and right, but in the end found nothing!

But how could such a small thing stump Clattenburg?

He turned around without hesitation and ran towards the fourth official standing in the coaching booth.

He said something to the fourth official, who immediately took out two eye-catching red and yellow cards from his trouser pocket and handed them to him.

The fans in front of the TV finally reacted.

"Hahahaha, he actually played for almost 45 minutes before he realized he didn't bring any cards!"

"He's here to make people laugh!"

"I was also saying how he was so normal in the first half, his emotions were still the same!"

"If the situation remains harmonious, he probably won't even notice!"

The two commentators couldn't help laughing: "The referee made a little accident, hahaha."

Andy: "The Stoke City midfielder has received a yellow card. This is also the first yellow card of the game."

What he didn't say was that this was not Clattenburg's style!

The score is now 1-0, Chelsea is leading, and other fans who have watched the game are leisurely waiting for Clattenburg to make his big move!

Just wait, in the second half he will start to act like “I am the protagonist”!

No cards? Oh man, this is just the beginning.

Next to the referee's lounge is the players' locker room.

Ivan was the last one to enter the referee's lounge. He fell behind at the back and was almost taken to the locker room by Cech and others.

After all, he has been at Stamford Bridge for more than a year, and he is very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here. He even couldn't help but walk towards the familiar locker room, and then... he was almost pushed in by Drogba, who was the leader of the commotion.

Fortunately, Captain Terry stopped their antics.

The game is not over yet, and everything Ivan says and does is under observation.

They couldn't harm Alvin on impulse.

Exhaling, Alvin turned around and closed the door, blocking out the noise from the players outside.

The environment becomes quiet.

Referee Clattenburg went to change his clothes. Alvin felt his wet clothes and prepared to change into another one.

Linesman Trim was sitting on the side, drinking water and wiping his sweat.

The fourth official and the substitute assistant referee were sitting together, talking about something.

Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of Ivan coming in. The two men looked up and looked at him in a not-too-friendly manner.

It has long been known in the Premier League refereeing community that the young man in front of him, who is not even 20 years old, has had good luck because he was appreciated by Webber.

Among all the referees on the scene, the youngest substitute assistant referee is 6 years older than Ivan.

Therefore, the way they looked at Ivan was mostly fearful and a bit jealous. In short, there was not much kindness in their eyes.

They had been able to remain calm before the game started, but after experiencing Ivan's overwhelming popularity suppression in the first half, they could no longer hide their displeasure.

Not only is he good at playing football, he also comes here to be a referee and steal their jobs, leaving no room for ordinary referees.

Not all referees are paid as much as Weber. It’s all in vain if you can’t make a name for yourself.

What's more, the higher you go, the more intense the competition becomes. Except for referees like Clattenburg who have almost reached the top, any younger referee below will not regard him as a junior worthy of promotion.

You know, even the positions of international referees are limited. It doesn’t matter for older referees, because they will all retire when Ivan comes up. But it’s different for these young referees!

The more competition there is, the less meat there is.

Ivan actually felt unfriendly the moment he entered the door. If he wanted, with the help of dynamic vision, he could also guess what the two referees were talking about just now.

He chose to ignore.

When Clattenburg first took office, there were also many people who disliked him, but after he became an international referee, those discordant voices disappeared.

Very well explained.

When a person is much better than others, he will be envied by them, but when he reaches a height that ordinary people cannot reach, those people will not even be able to envy him.

They will only look up to him and regard him as an idol instead of considering him as a competitor of the same level.

The same principle applies to players, except that players are judged by their strength, and most of them are talented. Their competition is much more healthy. If you are capable, then go for it. If you are not capable, don't force yourself.

In a profession like refereeing, which is based mainly on seniority, colleagues will naturally not welcome young referees with outstanding talents.

Trim on the side sighed and said nothing. He waved to Ivan and patted the seat next to him, motioning Ivan to sit next to him.

He is a very Buddhist person. His wife and two children all love to watch Ivan's games. As a result, he couldn't hate this young man.

He's just a kid.

Those who strongly oppose him and dislike him probably ignore everything he has gone through, right? A child who has just reached adulthood has suffered such a great disaster. Is it any wonder that he becomes mentally mature?

He has experienced much more than those referees, and his vision and ability to endure are far beyond theirs. He certainly didn't eat as much rice as they did, but the road he had walked was probably longer and more difficult than theirs.

However, not many people care about his growth process.

They only care about the results, and can only see his achievements and glory in front of them, but they cannot see how much sadness and pain he has silently endured behind the scenes.

He is just a child who needs to be cared for!

I hope he can be treated better in the future.

The author has something to say: Author (handing over the microphone): What will you do when you encounter an unreliable referee?

Marcelo: Referee? All I see is the goal.

Pepe: I heard everyone calls me a monk.

Kaka: emmmmmm

Raul: emmmmmm

Guti: I will use my actions to show him what the rules are.

Tonyu: I’m very angry but there’s nothing I can do.

Ramos (as the big brother of the national team): Don’t be afraid, if anyone bullies you, I will help you fight back!

Ivan: emmmmmm

Chelsea everyone: emmmmmm

Ozil (horrified): Someone come, Igor has fainted!

Honest newbie Messi: I am good at rolling around, and the referees are usually impressed by me.

Cassie (sitting up in shock from her dying illness): I don’t want to be this goalkeeper anymore! Whoever wants to do it can do it!

Ivan: How about we switch, Igor?

Real Madrid defenders (kneeling down and hugging thighs): No way, how can we still play the game with Igor as the referee! ! !
