Killer Cavani. Who will judge the Russian national team – Sports Mail.Ru

THE BEST ARBITRATOR OF BRAZIL

Ricci is the best Brazilian referee. He started working in the matches of the Brazilian professional leagues since 2003. Served matches of the Copa Libertadores and America's Cup. In short, the experience of Ricci, 43, is very important

HE LOVES DISCIPLINE ON THE GROUND

Ricci is known to climb quite often in his pocket for cards. On average, he gives five warnings per game – he had such an indicator in the qualifying round for the 2018 World Cup. He gave 29 yellow cards in six matches. The Brazilian also worked at the 2014 World Cup. There he continued three matches, including a 1/8 final match between Germany and Algeria (2: 1). At these meetings, he showed nine yellow cards and a red card, and also named a penalty.

FIRST READING THE GOAL THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

Ricci became the first referee to score the goal in the world championship thanks to the automatic goal determination system. That happened in the match between France and Honduras at the World Cup in 2014 (3: 0). Then the ball hit the bar first, then back to the goalkeeper Valladares, and only then rolled into the door. The goalkeeper quickly took the ball, but the technology had already confirmed the goal.

KAVANI WITHDRAWN

Ricci took part in the scandalous match between Chile and Uruguay (1: 0) at the America's Cup 2015. Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara was interviewed by Edinson Cavani. The attacker in response slightly pushed the player, and he fell on the lawn. Ricci peeked and gave Cavani the second yellow. This ridiculous withdrawal has long been discussed in the press. Ricci wanted to be removed from the extra work in the tournament. But the Brazilian Football Confederation has risen to protect the referee. She reported that Ricci had personal problems – her daughter, who was in New Zealand, was seriously ill. As a result, the referee was responsible for a semifinal match between Argentina and Paraguay.

LIST OF OSSORIOUS OSCILLATION

The Brazilian worked in Russia and a year ago in the Confederations Cup matches. In the match for third place between Mexico and Portugal (1: 2), he was the fourth referee. It was to him that the furious coach of the Mexicans Juan Carlos Osorio ran to complain when he saw that Pepe would have violated the rules on Etator Moreno in the penalty box. The Colombian demanded the visualization of the VAR. As a result, Osorio obmateril all the judges of the match, for which he was removed from the bench. Most unpleasant words came to Sandra Ricci.
