Only two days until the start of the European Cup with next Friday’s match in between Germany and Scotland to be played on Munich Arena Stadium.

Tournament that will feature all the technological innovations in refereeing matters. We’ve been counting down the past week VAR This will be done from the international press center IBC Can be found at Leipzig.

But also this tournament UEFA It will have a smart ball that will allow us to know which part of the body the players touch the ball. And that includes if they do it by hand.

Two more technologies have been added to this club selection competition. On the one hand there is semi-automatic offside. It is called “semi-automatic” because this information is sent to the room VOR same as VAR As the AVAR They should give the ok. A technology that allows precise accuracy of the offside position or not. And at great speed.

But this too European Cup It will also have goal technology, allowing the referee to instantly determine if a ball has completely crossed the goal line.

Just fluid dialogue with the captain

But the big news is on the field of play, in the greater dialogue that will take place during the matches between the referee and the players to explain the situations taking place on the field of play. Dialogue and communication to be carried out with the captains, in this line of achieving more open communication and with the aim of explaining the decisions that the referees will make on the field of play. Both the decisions made by the referee himself and the dialogues they have with the VAR referee. So that they understand why each decision was made.

For this reason, and to achieve this greater communication, there will be a conversation with the captain. When it is the goalkeeper, a field player must be assigned for the actions taking place at the other end of the field and thus prevent the goalkeeper from leaving his position.

The message is for players to respect this situation. That is, your captain is the only player who talks to the referee, thus preventing the rest of the players from attacking or circling the referee. Only the captain will approach the referee. Anyone who does not respect this behavior will be warned by the referee with a yellow card. This was explained to him during visits made by representatives of the refereeing establishment to the football locker rooms.
