Cafu dribbled the ball on the right flank to the bottom line, and a big cross was flanked by Jones and Rivaldo, but the number behind the Brazilian No. 5 Edmilson was ripped off at the back.

Edmilson can play as a midfielder or a centre-back, and was the main centre-back of the Brazilian team at the 2002 World Cup, with excellent skills, and Edmilson has dual citizenship of Brazil and Italy.

In addition, he can play in multiple positions in central midfield, starting as a central defender and at the same time playing as a defensive forward, at Barcelona he is an important player in the midfield position, and his all-round qualities such as defending, passing and heading ability make him a living chess in the hands of the manager.

Edmilson played five games before the final and scored one goal, against Costa Rica, when he burst into the opposition penalty area and blasted open the door with a brilliant barb that was one of the best goals of the tournament.

When Edmilson got his new shirt, he tried to put it on, but he found that he couldn't put it on, and he stood on the pitch and made the fans laugh at him as he got entangled with the shirt and started a small battle.

Once or twice, he had nothing to do, and then his teammates also went over to help, and finally put it on, but there was a burst of laughter in the audience, it turned out that the jersey was still worn backwards, he took it off again, put it on again, and finally wore it right, but there was warm applause from the fans!

Corina also said after the game that this incident was not because it was strange and playful, but a question of whether it should be punished.

At that time, if Corina had enforced the law according to the rules of the game, then! He should have asked Edmilson to change his clothes outside the field first, and then returned to the field to continue the game after getting dressed.

But if it does, it will be tantamount to a penalty against Brazil, who will face Germany with one less man for a period of time, and in the World Cup final, if they are punished for something like changing clothes.

Collina felt that by not understanding the game in the right way, he was going against the sportsmanship of fair play shown by both teams.

The best thing to do is to waste a little time waiting for Edmilson to change his shirt, if the rules of the game are firmly enforced, it could have unfair consequences for the game, in case Germany score a goal during this time, it will not be fair to Brazil!

Personally, Corina believes that as a referee, you need to watch the video before the game to analyze the offensive and defensive tactics adopted by the team on the field, and then analyze the characteristics of the players.

In this way, it is more conducive to the referee's law enforcement problems in the game, such as what is the passing characteristics of a certain player, and which player is the habit of long passing, so that the referee can predict the place where the ball flies earlier.

Collina also believes that players and referees should get to know each other, which will make it easier for players to accept the referee's decision, which will greatly help to control the game.

Knowing a player will also give the referee respect and confidence, and a player who knows you, appreciates you, and can even easily accept a mistake you make on the pitch.

At the 2002 World Cup, after the half-time whistle, Batistuta complained that he had been wronged by a yellow card in the first half, and that he felt the foul was not that serious.

As it was no longer appropriate to investigate, Collina, who knew Barty well, opted to lighten the mood with a joke: "Do you know the real reason why the assistant referee gave you a yellow card? He's Canadian, but his ancestral home is Chile! ”

Chile and Argentina are old rivals! So Barty replied, "Ah, that's how it is." ”

Fluent in French, English, Spanish and Italian, Corina also has the linguistic capital to communicate with the players, allowing him to better communicate with the players and control the situation and controversy on the field.

Modern soccer players are faster and more confrontational, and for referees, their ability to run has increased.

A method used to test the training of referees, which stipulates that the referee must run a predetermined minimum distance at full speed within 12 minutes.

According to Corina, the distance was 2,400 metres at the 1990 World Cup and 2,700 metres in 2002.

In the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, the average distance covered by the selected referee was more than 3,000 meters.

Around 1992, there were people who were able to go over 2,700 meters, and Collina expressed the same sentiment, and today the players are faster and stronger, which he emphasises, and the same is true for the referees.

Before the start of the game, the referee checks that the players are wearing non-compliant items from time to time, that is, rings, necklaces, bracelets and other things that may pose a danger to themselves and others.

Sometimes, the referee knows that this is not the right thing to do, and will turn a blind eye to some players' long-standing habits, such as the earrings that some players wear with great significance.

On the issue of the whistle, Corina said: "When you run, you have to take something so unfamiliar in your mouth, and at the same time, you have to breathe, so that the breath you breathe into the whistle makes it make a sound constantly. ”

As with footballers, the promotion of referees is very intense, with around 80 referees in the Italian third division, and after the league is over, only four will be able to move to the second division, which is a 5% chance of proving how difficult it is to get promoted.

Collina's most important piece of advice for young referees is to have courage, the courage to make decisions, the courage to make difficult, important decisions.

In 1997, when Inter played Juventus, Guntz's goal was initially ruled valid, but after Corina asked the assistant referee and players, the goal was disallowed.

"If the referee believes that the decision was wrong, then he can change his decision as long as the game has not been restarted," Corina said in Chapter 5 of the rules. ”

It does take a lot of courage for the referee to make such a decision, especially after Maurizio Guntz's goal, Inter Milan has already celebrated the preparation of the kick-off in the middle circle, and it took so long to change the decision, the referee needs to bear too much pressure and controversy, but the strict pursuit of justice has allowed Collina to withstand all the pressure.

Corina doesn't like the idea that the best referees are not visible in the game, he thinks that the referee has to make the right decision at all times, even if there are three fouls in a game that are serious enough to lead to a penalty, and that would have to make the referee the center of the game, and most importantly the referee himself has no intention of being the focus, not that the best referee is not aware of the game.

The most important thing is that the referee should learn to be flexible in some issues that should not be punished!
