When a player receives a red card on the field, what do you think about the most? Will the team be in trouble or even lose because of this reduction? Or will your position in the team be affected?
None of these options seem to hold for Jeff Hardeveld, a defender for Emmen in the Dutch second division, who only cares about how to attract the referee's attention with this red card, which is the most important thing.
In the second round of this season's Dutch Serie B, Emmen played against FC Eindhoven. In the 90th minute, Emmen, who was behind by one goal, was seizing the time to attack, and Hadveld had to take a foul in order to quickly grab the football, but was sent off for too much action.
Seeing that the game entered stoppage time, the score was behind and one less person to fight, but Hardwild, who was originally very upset, saw a special person on the sidelines, and his mood instantly rose.
Hardwilder stumbled to the sidelines and hesitated to go off the court, constantly explaining his actions to the fourth referee, telling his grievances, and possibly asking the referee to discuss the reasonableness of the decision after the game.
The reason for such a strange act is not difficult to understand, and it was the beautiful referee Shona Shukrula who played the fourth referee in the game, which was the first time the two met, and Hardveld was suddenly attracted.
One of the few female referees in Dutch football, Shauna has been a referee for the Dutch league since the 2009-2010 season and was certified by FIFA in 2017. At present, Shauna mainly blows off the Dutch Second League, and that experience has impressed her with the boyish Hardwild.
Hardwilder, who came from the Fayenoord academy, has not had a smooth career development, when he played against Karlsdorp, Tete and other players in the Dutch national youth team, but now he can only work as a substitute in the Dutch Second League.
But Hardwild's peach blossom luck is not shallow, it is not uncommon to find the other half through football, players and journalists, fans, female footballers, staff love has long been not a new thing, but winning the referee's love seems to be the first time in the history of football.
On New Year's Day, Shauna sent a sweet photo of The New Year's Eve with Hardwild in Rome on her personal social platform, which is a wonderful fate that will surely make many single players express great envy.
It seems that arranging more female referees in the game will help players perform better, and ITU and national leagues need to consider such changes, increase the training and use of female referees, and make the game more colorful.
