Seeing that Christina was in a daze, Merck hurriedly said: "Yes, Christina, you have to understand that the referee really can't be weak, because you are the most authoritative person in the game on the field, if you are weak, there is really no way to make those players and coaches who are almost all millionaires obey, but the referee's profession is basically a coordinator, and the biggest role of the referee is to make the game go on in an orderly manner, not for us to control the game."

Christina picked up the black coffee on the table and took a sip and said, "Well, I understand, but Marcus, you should also know that I'm a girl A lot of times, those stars who are above the top don't have a reverence for me at all, and there are even people who question me as soon as I make a penalty, and I don't send the head coach to the stands every game." ”

Hearing Christina's answer, Merck didn't feel surprised, but took a sip of coffee and said: "Sometimes you don't have much need to send off the coach, for example, in the League Cup semi-finals, you sent off Pellegrini at the end of the game is actually not necessary, you have to understand that in important games, our referees' decisions are generally very cautious, because a penalty can have a huge impact, and in this kind of important games, players and coaches are often very excited, we have to deal with it with heart, You can't just like it all! ”

"Well, I see, Marcus I'll take care of it." After all, Christina is a 24-year-old young man and a girl, although Christina is far more mature than girls of the same age due to the requirements of the referee profession, but after all, she is still young or can't please the inertia of young people, and it is true that sometimes the head coach is sent off just because she really can't stand their chatter, and after listening to Merck's words, she now understands that maybe technically speaking, there is no gap between herself and a top referee like Merck, and she now understands where the gap is, It's in the state of mind! Yes, in terms of mentality, Christina remembered what Corina once said:

The referee is the most subjective factor on the field, because the mental preparation made by each referee before the game is completely different, just like the players. I remember a great football referee, Luigi Araulin, who once said that when he arrived at the stadium, he would lie on a massage table and sleep for 30 to 40 minutes straight. When I first started as a referee, Alaulin was a signpost, a role model. So I tried to emulate his pre-match habits, was he one of the most important referees in the world? I was also lying on the massage table and trying to put myself to sleep, but in reality, I couldn't sleep at all. The effect of "napping" is that when I wake up, my mind is confused, and the only thing that wakes me up is that I realize that this kind of mental preparation doesn't work for me.

Some referees, once they receive the task, will start to prepare mentally, that is, 48 hours before the game or even a week before; Some referees only start to prepare mentally after arriving at the court; Once some referees enter the gymnasium, they will not say a word in order to gain a high degree of concentration; And others, until the last minute, were able to laugh and joke at the same time.

It's just a superficial issue, it depends on the character and mind of the referee. At the end of the day, this is a subjective question in the true sense of the word.

The most crucial moment for me was the meeting I had with the assistant referee and the fourth official after lunch. The time is usually around 11:45 and the game is going to take place. We assume all the possible situations on the pitch and figure out how to solve them, as well as estimate the technical and tactical characteristics of the players and the team. In my opinion, the game started from that moment, even with three hours to go before kick-off. From that moment all the way to the kick-off, everything I did was for this game.

Regardless of your habits, once on the pitch, the referee should focus all their attention on the game, because the first moment of the game can be the most difficult time to deal with. In fact, in the first minute of the game, it is difficult to evaluate what happened. This is because, under normal circumstances, people will have a psychological expectation, that is, the expectation that everything will start in a gentle way, and then gradually become tense, so that people can have a gradual adaptation process and gradually concentrate their attention. However, before people are ready, "things" often happen very quickly. That's when you should react immediately. But if you're not focused enough at the time, then you won't be able to react like that.

Players are also often criticized for their lack of concentration; Coaches also think about how to keep their team 100 per cent focused as soon as they come on the pitch and how to avoid conceding goals in the first few minutes due to lack of concentration.

Referees are expected to maintain a high level of concentration throughout the game. When the game is going well, everything is so calm, and some people will have a certain amount of relaxation and reduce their concentration. At that very moment, something important will definitely happen. At this point, the referee will find that he is not ready and will not know what decision to make.

Referees should develop an ability that is not interfered with and restricted by external factors, or in other words, they should train this ability. On the pitch, you're in front of 80,000 spectators in the stands, and you know there are billions of people watching the game in front of the TV, and in that case, you have to do it, isolate yourself from all of that, because that's essential for your level of performance.

Referees can learn from past matches, and this experience can be of great help to referees. But at the same time, referees should also learn to isolate themselves from the distractions around them and focus all on what they are doing. He can develop this ability through training. In training, you should focus your attention on what you are doing until you don't feel anything around you.

Focusing your attention on things will make you notice some subtle things and some subtle differences that will give you a better understanding of the situation. It is very important to learn to train this ability. We can train it in our daily lives by habitually paying the most attention to the people and things around us, paying attention to their every move and their reactions. The referee should have a broad, subtle vision of the surrounding environment and should not miss any details.

Recovery from mental fatigue is also a very important stage. After a game, the consumption of brain power is enormous. In the course of the race, our bodies will feel very tired due to the non-stop running; But at the same time, due to the high concentration of the mind, the nerves are highly tense, which generates a huge mental exertion, which manifests itself as mental fatigue. Physical fatigue can be recovered by sleeping, and many people will drink a little alcohol to help them sleep, and I usually do the same. I really admire people who are able to fall asleep easily after a race. And if I went to bed after the evening game, I would have the illusion that it was still in the afternoon, so I couldn't sleep until five o'clock in the morning. The adrenaline produced in my body and the fatigue of my muscles were intertwined, causing me to constantly toss and turn in bed. So if my night race was in Italy, I would drive home straight after the race without worrying about falling asleep. If I'm abroad, then I only have to leave the next day, and at this time I'll have some drinks to relax and also allow myself to sleep for a while. ”

Not only fatigue, but also in strenuous sports, the referee must also keep his calm, after all, the referee is an important part of the game, the referee.
