Golden Greenery

Rumor has it that there are four blind inspirational referees in the Premier League, who are England's Magic Four.

The wealthy hunter Clattenburg, the North London sniper Mike Dean, the sentient Atkinson, and the blind hero Oliver.

Among them, Clattenberg announced in January this year that he would leave the Premier League and go to the Saudi League to enforce the law. He may also go to the Chinese Super League in the future. A few years later, Clattenburg revealed that he left the Premier League because he couldn't stand being sprayed by Mourinho.

Mike Dean, the oldest, is already 4 years old enough to be registered as a referee. Football refereeing is a profession that requires physical fitness. Maybe he will be ready to fade out in a few years.

But talents have emerged from generation to generation, and Andre Marriner and Paul Tierney are quickly becoming the new aristocrats of the blind world, composing a new legend of blindness.

The 37-year-old Tierney was born in Wigan. He began his refereeing career at the age of 15 and was finally promoted to a Premier League referee in 2014.

Tierney has very good field control skills and is famous for cherishing cards like gold. He is very careful about red cards and avoids yellow cards when possible, and he treats everyone equally.

Kompany's tackle on Vardy in the first two minutes of the first half, Tierney only showed a yellow card, caused dissatisfaction among the Leicester City players, but it was resolved by his warm smile like the spring breeze.

If it were replaced by the ruthless Mike Dean to enforce the law, it would be difficult for Lao Kong to escape the red card.

Mike Dean is the Zhuoyang of referees. He has already issued more red cards in the Premier League so far. Phil Dodd, who is ranked second, is now challenging himself, just like Zhuo Yang.

In the second half, Fernando tackled Iborra at the beginning of the game. The foul was quite big, but there was only a free kick and not even a yellow card. The brand is like Tierney's bank card PIN, which he keeps tightly.

From the perspective of Manchester City fans, Tierney is naturally sharp-eyed and fair in law enforcement, but from the perspective of Blue Fox fans, he is a "blind man".

.

Zhuoyang was replaced after 2:0, just to let him score goals. Manchester City teammates knew it well, and the Blue Fox also knew it well, so when he came up, the King Power Stadium was booed.

But the photographers on the scene were very honest. Almost all the cameras that could be moved swarmed behind the Leicester City goal, posing in various postures and waiting.

The opportunity came quickly. In the 53rd minute, during a counterattack, Walker passed a flat pass from the right into the penalty area. Zhuo Yang suddenly flashed out from behind center back Wes Morgan. All four defenders who were straight and equidistant could only look back.

Jump up and shoot in the air. Maybe it was because his feet were not warm when he first came on the field, so he was a bit upright this time and was caught by Schmeichel on his chest.

Zhuoyang chased after him again to take a shot, but was slammed from behind by two strong men, Maguire and Morgan. He was knocked over without even touching the ball. Schmeichel flew down and suppressed the football under him. Like a hen guarding her eggs.

Zhuoyang sat on the ground and raised his arms, hoping that Tierney would call a penalty kick, but as expected, Tierney just smiled and motioned for him to get up and continue the game, and Mao made no penalty kick.

Zhuoyang stopped being pretentious. He knew that this kind of physical collision was on the verge of being judged but not judged in the Premier League. It was usually ruled outside the penalty area, but it would be more controversial if it was ruled inside the penalty area.

No judgment, if it does not cause a change in the trend and nature of the game, almost no one will pay attention after the game. This is the situation now,

So not making penalties is more reasonable in the Premier League world.

Zhuoyang graciously forgave Tierney, but little did he know that this was just an appetizer.

.

I don’t know why, but several core offensive players in Leicester City were in poor condition today. Mahrez, Vardy, Albrighton, and Demarai Gray made many passing errors. Only the Spanish midfielder Yi Vora looks a bit normal, but he has heavy defensive tasks and cannot play a key role in offense.

As a result, Manchester City, who are leading the score, have complete control of the game, and football is controlled at the feet of Blue Moon most of the time. Except for the Blue Fox, which hit the goalpost once in the opening stage of the second half, it shrank back and never had another shot.

Commentator Zhan Jun said: "Wow, Manchester City played super smoothly. It seems that I haven't seen it for a long time. The last time was in the last round more than a week ago."

Because of Zhuo Yang, who in the world is not proud of the city?

Maguire and Morgan are both Kompany types. They are super strong in frontal defense, but their side is their weakness.

In the 58th minute, Zhuo Yang once again attacked behind Morgan, received the ball from Ding Ding and formed an anti-offside single shot. He dribbled the ball horizontally and suddenly stabbed the ball with his toes. The football went straight into the upper corner of the goal. Schmeichel had no reaction at all.

But referee Tierney reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye when the linesman raised his flag, he signaled that the goal was offside and invalid. Zhuo Yang didn't even have time to celebrate.

But Zhuoyang ran past Morgan with his eyes open, and he knew very well that he was definitely not offside.

There is no VAR in the Premier League. Zhuo Yang ran to argue with the linesman for a long time, but the decision of whether to score or not rested with Tierney.

Well, this is not entirely Tierney's fault, it is also the blindness of linesman Dan Cook. Zhuoyang couldn't beat him up, so he had to give up.

It is indeed difficult for the referee to distinguish whether it is offside or not vertically, especially when the level of body hair is high. At this time, choosing to trust the linesman as a colleague is undoubtedly the best way to retreat, attack, and defend.

Between Zhuo Yang who jumped up and down and Cook who was as steady as a rock, Tierney chose to believe that offside was true, which is very reasonable.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is a human society. The Premier League is no exception, and the English referees are no exception.

The 37-year-old Paul Tierney is the backbone of the Premier League refereeing community. He is neither too old nor too young, but he only started law enforcement in the Premier League at the age of 34 in 2014, which is a bit late.

‘Blind Man’ Michael Oliver is only 32 years old this year, the same age as Zhuo Yang, but he started officiating in the Premier League at the age of 25 and became an international referee at the age of 27. So far, he has officiated in many important games such as the European Championships and the Champions League.

Compared with others, Tierney is far behind. He is not an international referee yet and can only stay in the Premier League. And even in the Premier League, his number of law enforcement games is not considered to be many.

One of the important reasons why Mike Dean, the ‘Red Card Madman’, is so ruthless is that he has enforced enough games. He has officiated more than 400 games in the Premier League, which is 30% more than the second-placed Atkinson. It is just more accumulation. In fact, Mike Dean's red card rate averaged 0.21 per game, barely ranking 10th in the Premier League.

Ranked first is George Pearson, whose red card rate reached 100%, because he has only officiated one Premier League game, in 1

Compared with the "Fantastic Four", Tierney is much less famous, but his level is not bad. In the past, he just lacked connections in the refereeing community and no noble people to support him.

The connection Tierney has now gained is today's linesman Dan Cook, or to be precise, Cook's uncle, Peter Cook, vice-chairman of the FA Referees Committee. He has received inside information that the Football Association will declare him an international referee next year.

Tierney has no grudge against Zhuo Yang, and his law enforcement can be called fair. However, precisely because of the humanistic society in the Premier League refereeing world, he today became the biggest obstacle to Zhuo Yang's record-breaking journey.
