Former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev On the air of MATCH PRIME, he told what rituals he performed before matches during his work as a referee.
Nikolaev has been recognized as the best referee in Russia three times (2010, 2014, 2015).
— Everyone probably has traditions and rituals, but not everyone talks about them. The most important thing is to sit down before the match, as they say, “on the track”. Then shake hands with the brigade and cross yourself. And I always entered the football field with my left foot. I don’t know why,” Nikolaev said on the air of the “Man from Football” show on the MATCH PREMIER channel.
