Collina: no wall shall move

Показать описание

No matter how many times you do it, Collina will be there. Watch how the referee takes no nonsense in the following play. If he has called the infraction once, he will call it again, he does not care what anyone thinks.
Collina is perhaps the referee with the most famous reputation in world football history. Players knew him to be a fair and friendly face, but he was also known to be stern and put players in their place if they crossed the line. Whenever you saw that iconic bald head, you knew that the refereeing job was in good hands. Who do you think is the most iconic referee of todays age?

One day Collina was walking in Milan and bumped into Zlatan’s shoulder… Zlatan apologized.

Back when Italy had the most talented players, coaches and also referees.

The only referee from the past who is remembered more than most of the players who played the game

The only undisputed GOAT in football at his position.

A unique phenomenon in the world of football. The players were afraid of his laser sharp stare, and the fans adored him. When you saw his extraterrestrial head shining from afar, you just knew that everything would be under control. He continued to shine even in the darkest hour of the (Italian) football, known as "Calciopoli". If memory serves me correctly, he was the only referee who got out of the scandal clean and unblemished. Incorruptible and uncompromised, he felt and respected the anatomy of the game better than anyone. Each of his matches was a master class of refereeing. Rarely took cards out of his pocket, but if he rewarded someone with one (or two), you knew it was deserved. He was especially sensitive to divers, in a country where diving has risen to the limits of art. His popularity and authority were so great that they changed the retirement age of referees... just because of him. The most admired and the most respected human being, with the most hated and most corrupted job in the (god)fatherland of organized crime. No, ladies and gentlmen, it's not Pope John Paul II, it's the first and the last superstar among the referees - His Excellency Mr. Pierluigi Collina!

He demanded so much obedience from every player, and everyone knew better than to argue with him. Fair and just and respected by all, what a legend.

When a referee is the on the cover of a football video game you know he’s the goat.

Collins is THE BEST, I am 63, been following football since 1964, seen thousands of refs, but Collins, he is worth the match day ticket alone, he should be the eufa/FIFA head ref and trainer

tonyford

The legend that is Collina. His stare was enough for me to say "Yes Sir, sorry Sir"

aliegg

The very best referee on Earth, he was beyond VAR

You see how well respected he is for punishing players for not listening to him and abiding by the rules? Why don’t more referees take a leaf out of his book and get more respect for it? Instead referees keel over and let the players dictate the game. Referees in football could learn a hell of a lot from rugby referees as well.
