THE RULES

THE GAME DYNAMICS

“When a person plays football he is convinced that he is always wronged”.

ON BEING A GOOD REFEREE

“I am personally very convinced that to become a good referee you have to know how to play football, you have to know football, not only from a tactical point of view, but from a game dynamics”.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ROLE

“Decision-making power is a very strong word, which if looked at in the wrong perspective looks like a person of power who wants to impose some decision. In reality, decision-making power is nothing more than a duty, something that must lead you to decide”.

“The decision-making duty is the result of a great preparation and a great knowledge. The result of walking arm in arm between knowledge of the rules and knowledge of sport and therefore the application and applicability of these rules. We are a service to football, we are not people who have power “.

“The referee must not direct the game, he must make the most correct decision and it is not always easy”.
