Chapter 66



The referee training course this summer in 2009 is mainly prepared for these approved referee trainees.

Like Ivan, if he wants to continue to follow Oliver to move up, such as in the Premier League next season, he will have to learn more, especially about refereeing.

After the two-week course, many people were in a completely different state at the end than when the course just started. Even in the last few days, when referees such as Clattenburg and Atkinson, who are more experienced in the Premier League, gave lectures, they were drowsy and had no interest.

As for the reason, it is not the students' fault for not working hard, but the referees themselves are very good, but they don't deliberately prepare anything, or there is nothing to prepare. After all, the profession of refereeing is shallow. The referees don't know what to say. At most, they share their own officiating experience and ask appropriate questions.

This is the most popular teaching method among students.

However, not every referee is the same.

for example--

Atkinson, read the rules from the PPT to understand?

Do you know that Clattenburg was telling jokes and bragging all the time?

I felt that apart from recognizing a bunch of big referees, I didn't even know if I became familiar with them, and there was no unexpected gain as I had imagined.

This week is just a show to show that they have received systematic training.

After a week, many people were already staggering and listless.

Except for one person, the young referees felt that person was out of place among them.

They whispered, "The one sitting in the first row, right? I heard he's got Oliver's lap?"

"Oh, is that the one called Alvin DeWitt? I heard he's quite capable."

"It's obvious that these judges who came to give lectures didn't prepare their lessons seriously. They just gave lectures perfunctorily, and what they taught was not as useful as my enlightenment teacher. Hey! What is he listening to so carefully? Can he hear the essence that we can't hear?"

"Obviously not, man. I guess he was just pretending. Didn't you see Mr. Atkinson, who was giving the lecture earlier, give him a few looks?"

"I didn't expect Atkinson's lectures to be as serious and boring as his law enforcement style. The guy sitting behind me slept for several classes."

"But he is a referee with a loose hand, I really can't tell."

A few people who were chatting happily saw Ivan stand up and quickly shut up. It would be bad if the person he was talking about heard them behind his back.

Ivan walked out of the classroom and breathed in some fresh air to clear his mind.

In fact, he was not as serious as others thought. He also found it very boring. However, out of basic respect, he listened to every referee's lecture as a review of the rules.

Not far behind him, Clattenburg, who was about to take over, met his colleague Atkinson, and the two stood together and chatted for a while.

Clattenburg is younger than Atkinson, who is less than 40 years old this year. He is not bald, but his hair is gray, and he looks very vicissitudes of life like a deep old man.

"Who are you looking at? Is it the young man named Ivan?" asked Clattenburg with a smile.

Atkinson was a little surprised: "You know him? Oh, it seems he used to be your linesman?"

"Yes, it was the time at Chelsea," Clattenburg shrugged. "He was a very smart guy. He was so serious in class that I felt embarrassed."

Atkinson nodded: "I have some impression. He is now following the young referee named Oliver."

Speaking of Oliver, Clattenburg said he had a deeper impression of him, after all, he, like him, supported Newcastle United.

What is more frustrating is that despite having two of England's most famous stars, Owen and Alan Smith, Newcastle United still could not escape the fate of relegation this season and were relegated to the Championship.

I sincerely hope that this team can get promoted as soon as possible, and that the (former) star player Alan Smith can help the team return to the Premier League.

Another former star, Owen, moved to Manchester United as a free agent when his contract expired after the Magpies were relegated, while Alan Smith remained in the team.

Even if we can't save the team from relegation, we can at least help the team come back! This is the last patience of Newcastle United fans for this young and famous player! After all, since the start of last season, Alan Smith's injuries have been recurring, and his condition has been up and down.

Having said that, even though he is so roundabout, Ivan can be considered half of our own. Very good, at least not related to McDean's series.

A very clever guy. Clattenburg touched his chin and smiled with satisfaction.

England needs such a smart referee!

Clattenburg didn't have any sense of crisis at all. He just thought that the young man was good and didn't think that he might take his job. Instead, he thought more about Atkinson having to eat bread for a few more years.

Not surprisingly, he was the one who took over after Weber retired.

After all, Ivan is too young, and it probably won’t affect him in a few years.

It’s hard to say what will happen in a few years, but he will be almost retired by then and will be at the age to give way.

At that time, the number one international referee in England was probably Clattenburg next to him.

I sincerely hope that he can stay in this position until he retires.

Oh, the young people nowadays.

Just think about it, when he was 20 years old, he was an unknown referee in some non-professional competition. Atkinson, who started refereeing at the age of 16, thought so.

In the second half of 2009, Oliver successfully entered the Premier League as he wished.

After a holiday without rest, Irvin, who had been catching up on his knowledge of refereeing, also followed him into England's top league.

When I stepped onto the familiar grassland again, my mood was completely different from the first time.

There is certainly a difference between a football genius who suddenly emerged and a young referee who climbed up step by step.

Every fourth official in the Premier League must be qualified as a referee. So before officially stepping into the Premier League, he spent the past few months refereeing games in the lower leagues, going through the whole process.

I hadn't seen Oliver for a few months, and when I saw him again, he had already tried his hand in the Premier League for a few games.

The referee committee was very optimistic about the two young men, and Oliver did not expect that he would have such good luck in the past six months. First, he was promoted to the Premier League ahead of schedule, and then his qualifications as a national referee were determined. Now, after officiating a few games, he can officiate games for teams at the top of the Premier League standings.

This team is Manchester United.

This game is Manchester United playing away against Tottenham.

It’s December, and winter is here again in the blink of an eye.

Tottenham Hotspur, White Hart Lane.

White Hart Lane Stadium is located in London, very close to Chelsea, and Ivan arrived there quickly by car.

As the fourth official, he needs to arrive earlier to check whether the basic facilities of the stadium are normal, such as whether the quality of the footballs used in the game is up to standard and whether the clothes worn by the players on both sides are appropriate.

That’s right, clothes.

While confirming the starting lineup, it is also necessary to confirm whether the players on the roster are properly dressed and whether they are carrying any illegal dangerous items.

Players from both teams lined up and walked past Ivan with smiles on their faces. Rooney tried to say hello to his friends, but Ivan asked him to leave.

You're fine, next one, just don't get in his way.

Ivan took the starting lineups handed to him by the coaching staff of both teams and read out the names of the players lined up to confirm that they were present and dressed properly.

Tottenham's No. 11 walked up to him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself. Alvin took a quick look at him and after confirming that it was him, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that he looked familiar.

The game is about to begin.

When Ivan returned to the referee's lounge, Oliver was already waiting there.

The other party opened the door with a wooden face and called for his team to follow.

Alvin: “…” I always feel that the other party’s condition is not right.

In the players' tunnel.

Ivan's expression was very similar to his, but compared to this unfamiliar referee, at least the Manchester United players were more familiar with the fourth official Ivan.

C Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid this summer, and Manchester United made a readjustment in the team. When Ivan looked around, he could not see the familiar number 7 of Manchester United.

The current No. 7 of Manchester United is Owen. Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo who just won the World Footballer of the Year, he seems to be a hero in his twilight years and is just a No. 7 of Manchester United in name only.

Since his transfer, he has only played for Manchester United once in the third round of the Champions League group stage and a warm-up friendly match. He also sat on the bench in this game.

Rooney was whispering to his friends: "So did Ivan go on vacation with Cris this summer? I saw Cris went to America, and I didn't see him taking any pictures, and I didn't see any girls around him."

Van der Sar glanced at him and said, "Is this why you think Ivan went with him? Are there any photos?" What can you say without evidence?

Rooney shrugged and looked at Irving again, remembering the Champions League match that he had previously commented on.

Cris stole the limelight at that time, but this time he has transferred. Rooney has the style of Manchester United's top scorer. He is determined to take up the banner and lead the team to various victories, and teach Cris a lesson when they meet Real Madrid in the Champions League.

He scored two more goals in this game, which made Alvin regret not praising him more when he was commentating.

The Tottenham players on the other side were all in high spirits. This was their home ground and they were very confident that they would not let Manchester United have an easy time.

This season, under the leadership of head coach Harry Redknapp, they have been marching forward with great momentum. They are too happy to be climbing the league table, having finally climbed to fifth place. Their goal is to get fourth place in the league and compete for qualification for the Champions League.

Among their team, a young player wearing Tottenham's No. 11 jersey looked at them curiously, and then his eyes fell on the subject of their discussion - the fourth official of the game.

That's Irwin Devitt, and every player who's been in the Premier League for a few years knows him. Bale, also 20 years old, joined Tottenham in the 2007-08 season. The 2007-08 season was also a season in which he became famous. He and Ivan became rising stars in the Premier League in the same season.

The difference is that the latter obviously achieved far more than him. The outside world praised Ivan extraordinary that season, and all the young stars of the new generation were overshadowed by him that season.

He was certainly unwilling to accept this, but before Bell was ready to compete with Irving, he retired. The thought of competing together has become an eternal regret.

The others had different thoughts, and Ivan's focus was completely different from theirs. He silently looked at Oliver's expression.

Based on Ivan's short acquaintance with Oliver, he is not the kind of person who would referee a game with a straight face.

If Ivan's expressionless face seemed normal to Rooney and others, then Oliver's expressionless face, at least to Ivan, seemed nervous.

After all, this was the first time he encountered a top league team, and a player as outstanding as Oliver couldn't help but be nervous.

Oliver secretly paid attention to Ivan, trying to divert his attention. He thought it was amazing that Ivan, who was younger than him, was not nervous at all?

This is different from the past, which were all temporary. This is a formal organization!

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Andy's familiar voice sounded: "Dear viewers, welcome to watch the 0910 season, the 32nd round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur's home game against the top team Manchester United."

Richard continued: "This game is also a major focus. Both teams are striving to defeat their opponents. Manchester United aims to become the first team in British football history to win four consecutive Premier League titles, while Tottenham's goal is to be in the top four of the league and advance to the Champions League."

Andy smiled: "Why is it called a focus match? In fact, it is not just for this reason. In this match, we can see someone that everyone is familiar with. Yes, it is our England sweetheart."

Richard: "It is worth mentioning that he is no longer an assistant referee, that is, a linesman. In this game, he appears here as the assistant of the young referee Oliver - the fourth official."

"Oh! This is really the youngest referee combination in England, no, Europe. Let's wait and see."
