"He continued, “We prepare like a football team, like players do, paying special attention to uniformity and consistency, fair play, protecting players and the tactical approach. Everything must come together now, in this particularly significant competition, which has some of the best players and a world-class line-up of teams,” explained Busacca. “We will work mainly on the tactical and technical aspects.
This very important preparation is needed so that we can anticipate and prevent any possible issue, with one of our main goals being to ensure that we are in the correct place at the right time.” During the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013, the referees will be supported in their difficult task by goal-line technology.
