TACTICAL UNDERSTANDING

Berikut adalah kata-kata salah seorang pengadil terkemuka: Urs Meier (Swiss)

"To aid referee positioning, they should learn to understand the tactical flow of a game. Most referees are too close to the action. "Give the players space to play football. You have to be flexible; to run forwards, backwards, sideways. If a team loses the ball, the situation changes immediately for you and you have to adapt immediately. A good referee should watch as much football as possible and analyse the game. Try to find out in your own leagues which teams play which tactics. Plenty of food for thought, then, as they prepare for their assignments as referees in the coming months."
