Each body: UEFA requires referees to take action and to intervene strongly in the case of excessive complaints from players

According to the "Daily Sports Newspaper", recently, UEFA has launched an online training course for international referees, during which UEFA clearly put forward the requirement that for players who complain about excessive complaints after fouls, referees must take action and intervene strongly, such as pulling out red and yellow cards to avoid similar things happening to other players.

Italian Roberto Rossetti, chairman of the UEFA Referees' Committee, said: "We are worried because we don't like to see these events happening, which hurt the image of the game and football. For example, when a player tries to deceive the referee or put pressure on the referee in order to warn or punish his opponent, it is disrespectful to the referee and opponent and is against sportsmanship. ”

It is understood that there are 81 male and female international referees participating in the course, and regarding the behavior of the male and female football players chasing and blocking and putting pressure on the referees, Rossetti added: "We don't want this to happen, and we can't accept it." On the pitch, mutual respect is a must. As a result, referees are asked to be vigilant and take appropriate measures to deal with them consistently and forcefully. It is particularly important that referees enforce the law according to what they see, not what they hear. ”

Finally, on the topic of VAR video assistant referees, Rossetti said: "VAR is very important for the game, but we can't overuse the system, our goal is to make the game go smoothly and with as little intervention as possible. We know there is always room for improvement, so we adjust our work through the curriculum. ”
