He shares that detail in the most recent episode of news’s podcast Heia Fotball, after talking about the controversial punishment he received against Sweden. – Referees are part of the game, part of football. And it’s quite sick, but there is so much talk about the referee in Serie A, that we now have referee analysis before every match, he says. After Christmas, Sampdoria started with a referee meeting, in the same way as they analyze the opposing team before each match. It helped Thorsby a lot, who has previously received quite a few cards during a season. – At Christmas I had nine yellow cards, and after that I said to myself: “F … Morten, you can not go on like this”. Then we started with referee analysis, and after that I only had one yellow card, in the last half of the season. There was a very big difference. DUEL PLAYER: The midfielder is still in tough duels.

And all referees have different styles, and it is very easy to see after seven matches which line they are on, because they are the same. – It has a lot to say about how you put the list and how hard you can go before you get yellow cards, and how they are affected, he says. He thinks the analyzes also did something extra with his own input before the match. – The point was that I was more aware, too. Many of the things I have done before, I just can not do in Italy. If you are in the vicinity of knobs and high legs, you will get yellow at once. But then there are some decisions that are different, the judges have different styles, and there I have learned that I just have to pay attention to how that judge is. It has worked very well, actually. Thorsby explains that Roma is one team that has had great success with this part of the preparations for the match. – They have their own staff for the judges, he says. – The referee has succeeded Elite Series referee Espen Eskås is not surprised by Thorsby’s victory. – For Morten, who is a raw paw in midfield, it is probably important to know what level he should go to, says Eskås, who also believes that teams and players in Norway are aware of the difference between the various referees. DON’T SURPRISE: Espen Eskås. Photo: Ole Martin Wold / NTB – I am convinced that the team will get it. We all have our ways of being. That they know that, I’m very sure, but that they go into big analyzes, I do not think so, but the clubs have to answer for themselves, he says. Eskås says he hopes and believes that the analyzes will help to make football fairer. – If they see it is a strict judge, and they behave accordingly, the judge has succeeded. That it moves that way, I’m not surprised. In step with the development And shall we believe Thorsby, he believes that that analysis is entirely in line with the current development of football. – It is an insanely big factor that affects the game extremely much. The judge is a gigantic part of it. And then one can choose to be good or bad at taking care of it as a team, he says. Judges Eskås completely agree with that. – Football means a lot, and there is a lot of money in circulation. As in other sports where hundreds differ, there are margins all the way. I think this gives the margin, I understand that they want to do it that way, he says. Eskås is also aware that they too are well prepared for the team they will judge. – We prepare for teams and playing style, we also notice players who repeat themselves both positively and negatively. We anticipate and look at what players we are dealing with, he says and emphasizes: – But it is important to say that we are predictable, but not prejudiced.
