La Liga referee executive: El Clasico will appoint an experienced referee, but I will not disclose the candidate

This round of La Liga will usher in the national derby, where Real Madrid will face Barcelona at home. Before the game, Fran Soto, chairman of the Spanish Referee Technical Committee, reviewed the start of the new season at a recent media conference and looked forward to the upcoming El Clasico referee arrangements. He promised to assign experienced referees to enforce this focus game. Although he did not disclose the specific candidates, he emphasized that he would choose "the referee with the most adaptable characteristics."

Talking about the overall level of referees:

"The current law enforcement performance is good, I am relatively satisfied, and I hope to maintain this trend. There will naturally be room for adjustment during the season. The important thing is that referees must dare to make penalties, and VAR only needs to intervene in clear and obvious controversial actions. "

On the enforcement of the national derby:

"I try to treat this contest with a normal mind. The key is Sunday night Control of the field after seven o'clock. The referee will definitely show professional standards and must be an experienced choice. Although he is an excellent referee and will be promoted to the international level, I will not reveal the candidate. In fact, any La Liga referee will be qualified to enforce the law. "

Breaking the principle of geographical avoidance:

"There will be a referee in the King's Cup. Enforcement is the same as in regional derbies. At the league level, geographical restrictions will be completely lifted before the end of this season, and Sevilla derbies can also be whistled by Andalucia referees. "

Detailed explanation of the semi-automatic offside system:

"We have received positive feedback that this experimental technology effectively assists in penalty decisions. Although the details still need to be perfected, the overall result is satisfactory. We are discussing with FIFA the 'automatic review after a goal' mechanism. At present, multi-goal matches take too long. Consider enabling this function only in specific scenarios. This is the most important technical adjustment point at the moment. But this technology is bound to become the norm. "

Response to Tebas' initiative:

"Regarding La Liga's proposal to introduce a coaching challenge system to supplement VAR, I respect this view and may agree with it in the future, but this is a long-term plan. "
