Never seen a so high-profile start of career for a new UEFA observer, Svein Oddvar Moen now gets a big game at this stage, after having been at a youth EURO tournament. Not even Orsato did that.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, analyzing another name from the same game, we could maybe say that Gidzhenov didn't get so far what one could have expected for him after EURO U17 2024 final, he doesn't seem in focus at moment for something more.
The weird thing is that Gidzhenov received 9 European appointments in all competitions after the EURO U17 final.
DeleteTonight I had the privilege of observing Robert Schröder GER, unfortunately him and his team where not at their best, that being said, the game was intriguing and he “just" managed to keep it under control.
ReplyDeleteKabakov had very strange game to say the least.
ReplyDeleteStarted to punish players way too late,letting everything go for the whole match.
Very unlike him.
I watched Kabakov's game, and I'd say he had a good match. He had full control of the game, awarded a correct penalty kick, and gave two brilliant advantages. Towards the end, the pressure increased due to the result, but he managed it very well.
ReplyDeleteBoth teams went to thank him after the game!
