A kindFelix Brych also easily completed his last task. After the penalty shootout, when a group of cheering Italians rushed up, he cleverly took himself to safety. Gary Lineker has already ruled on the referee’s performance in the EM semifinal between Azzurri and Spain (4:2 i. E.). “The great referee”, the British football icon commented on the situation in which the Munich man might end up on the international stage.
Respond to his tweet Linek The famous Times post, whose commentator Henry Winter hopes to see the German referee permanently in the British capital. Wen wrote: “It would be great if the excellent, calm and controlling referee Felix Bridge could stay in London.” “Maybe three to four years…”
Brych should think twice. After all, the 45-year-old will reach the Bundesliga age limit within two years. And Manuel Greif can confirm at any time that the German Football Association (DFB) does not want to make any exceptions to its best referee. In any case, it can be assumed that Brech performed a farewell performance at Wembley outside Germany on Tuesday. He has reached the age limit for participating in international competitions.
Only when Brych UEFA (UEFA) should be nominated for the European Championship finals, and he should run again. Björn Kuipers may lead the final. For the 48-year-old Dutchman, UEFA made an exception to the age limit.
Brych convinced Italy with sovereign game management. He showed a total of three yellow cards and convicted 35 fouls within 120 minutes. For Brych, this is the fifth appearance of the EM. The 45-year-old from Munich has previously played in the quarter-finals England-Ukraine (4:0), the round of 16 Belgium-Portugal (1:0) and the group stage encounters Finland-Belgium (0:2) and the Netherlands- Director of Ukraine (3:2).
The Italian media also criticized Blech’s performance, which may be the essence of the matter. “Gazzetta dello Sport” wrote: “There are no scenes that are critical to the game, but the overall direction is not completely convincing, especially when evaluating fouls.” The players who opposed them had too much discussion. In addition, there were no decisive decisions and very few mistakes.”
Basically, EM can still be rated as a recoverer of Brych. After all, the German, who served as the referee of the year in the 2018 World Cup finals, was eliminated from the competition by FIFA just after a preliminary match. The reason was the scandal caused by Serbian coach Krstajic. The former Bundesliga professional player once complained that Brech’s performance should be tried in the war crimes court in The Hague.
