Letexier in the Conference League!
ReplyDeleteThis was expected after the mistakes he made on previous games, but still one can't understand then why not Turpin in Champions League instead, as discussed yesterday.
DeleteThe French will be again with an Italian team, Fiorentina, I start to think that Rosetti makes on purpose such choices to have a quick and very detailed report about the referee, even without watching the game (he will be busy in Amsterdam). The performance of UEFA referees in the games involving Italian teams are always scrutinized from the first minute to the very last one. I think it's easier for him in this way to know about.. but, as said in past, I think he also likes to appoint the referees that he prefers, to Italian teams...
As for the rest, all normal observers, nothing relevant to report.
In Cyprus of all places...
ReplyDeleteI know we shouldn't fill in things for other people, but we could argue that Letexier rather needs “a break" instead of Conference League. After a crazy busy summer, where he all of sudden officiated the EURO final (unexpectedly!). Let’s say: he climbed the proverbial mount Olympus and couldn't enjoy the view. Instead, he attended the Olympics in Paris and after that, Ligue 1 had already started and the UEFA summer course. Remember that his goal was to attend EURO to gain experience. But after the final it seems, he had to “get used” to his new status as UEFA’s top official. And had a couple of poor games. I must say, the complete opposite of Marciniak after his WC final, whose self-confidence got an incredible boost. But everyone is different and Marciniak probably knew he had good chances prior to the WC. Different situation of course.
It's impressive to me the fact that, different form CL, VAR and AVAR are 99% of same country of main referee. It means that countries like as Republic of Chech, Bosnia, Bulgary, Serbia are well equipped with reliable own VARs. Only Barbara from Malta is supported by italian. Pajac and Milankovic with only one help form Italy and German. Concerning Letexier, I subscribe Ref88's comment. I'm just wondering if Vincic would have been treated so harsh in case of mistake.
ReplyDelete“ if Vincic would have been treated so harsh in case of mistake.” => definitely not.
DeleteMost famous example is Vincic’ Inter-Barca (Oct 2022), where he made a completely lost impression, needed VAR for 3 incidents (they only called him twice). After this poor game in Milan and heavy criticisms in Italy, Vincic was “rewarded” with another Champions League match => Rangers-Liverpool. Sure, a very one-side one and blah blah. But honestly, I’m sure that most other referees (maybe except for Orsato) would be appointed to the UEL in a next game.
Very very good simulation in min 73.30 for Home team by Gidzhenov in game LASK - Cercle. Very good sprint from other box to be in perfect position and to take a correct decision. The attacker clearly tried to search for a contact and trailed his leg. In general a good game. He is showing a good presence as the away team is trying to lose time with 10 men. YC for GK for delay restart of game - min 65.
ReplyDelete2 YC for illigal use of arm - both correct in First half resulting into a RC.
Excellent Bognar in Ghent. Easy game, stayed in background. Good job.
ReplyDeleteIf i think well it was his last European game. I think will be change in Hungarian FIFA referee list. Bognár is 46 years old, it is possible will be out with Istvan Vad who demoted in 2.cat 2 years ago and he is now 45 years old. We will see it on 01/01/2025... :D
