Visser: "I'm not extra nervous"

INTERVIEWS Lawrence Visser will be the referee for the clash between Club Brugge and Anderlecht on Sunday. With his 28 years, 11 months and 2 days old, he is the fourth youngest referee to lead this game. Visser does not have extra nerves: "My team and I will be ready."


"I'm not extra nervous", continues the referee, "It is logical that there is more pressure towards the end, but I'm not going to prepare myself differently than for other games, and my team and I are well attuned to each other."

The last few weeks there has been a lot of talks about the Video Assistant Referee (VAR): "The VAR remains useful, that should not be forgotten, but I'm not going to do any crazy things because of all that fuss", says Visser.

The referee who whistled the most duels between both clubs is still Serge Gumienny. He whistled the game 15 times.
