CAIRO (Reuters) – The Egyptian referees' committee has announced the choice of a Romanian referee to lead Saturday's best match between Al Ahli and Zamalek.
The Roman team is headed by Stéphane Kovacs, 35, who led his first Champions League match this season between Valencia and the Swiss club Young Boys.
The incident of Swedish Berg
According to Swedish striker Markus Berg, he received a promise from Kovacs between the two matches of Turkey and Sweden in the European Championship after confirming his right to a penalty kick in the first half of the match.
The Swede revealed that the referee had promised him to watch the situation on video and that he found out that he was right, he would be given a penalty in the second half, which is strange.
The Champions League saw the first participation of this season of the Romanians in the Grand Prix in a match between Valencia and Jan Boise, which led recently to France and Iceland, which ended in a 4-0 win against France.
Maffetti crisis and ugly words
Vassil Mavetti, a veteran Romanian player, said he had spoken to Kovacs about his shot at goal against Vuelontari and asked him who was the owner of the offense.
The player confirmed that he was not going beyond the referee, who not only carried the red card in the face, but returned to the referee some of the words described by the ugly player.
According to reports in the Romanian press, the referees' committee allegedly prepared Kovacs following complaints of abuse of players and coaches, expressing them in offensive language and warning him not to repeat these facts.
Stephan Kovacs, in 57 matches, received the yellow card 251, "120 for the owner of the field and 131 for the guests" and the red card 18 times and counted 20 penalties.
