The former referee told how he prepared the games. “What I did was watch and read what was in the press before refereeing games. You try to abstract yourself a little bit.

Gil Manzano
Finally, he defined the choice of Gil Manzano for the Saturday meeting. “He has maturity and experience, with that background of being in the elite for 8-10 years. The players know him and he knows them and they are the reason for him to be confident that he can do it.”
