00:00 I believe it's getting worse, you know, because social media gives the right to everybody
00:04 to criticize, especially the ones who didn't do it with public voice before.
00:10 And football is a sociological phenomenon very unique because it can put you in a very
00:17 emotional state, sometimes irrational state, which is worse.
00:20 And you cannot ask people to be reasonable when they have their emotions so strongly
00:25 attached to their teams and their competitions.
00:28 More empathy, more tolerance.
00:30 I believe we are eager of results so much that we forget that there are people in there
00:36 who also have a family and friends and neighbors and also have a life and a decent life.
00:42 So sometimes we tend to forget that the referee is a human being who makes mistakes, even
00:48 with the technology, as it happens with players and coaches, for example.
00:52 Remember it's just football.
00:54 Respect, be tolerant.
00:57 Of course you like to win.
00:58 Of course you can criticize.
00:59 Of course you have that right to ask for, to demand for consequences.
01:03 But in the end of the day, we're just good people trying to do our best as are players
01:06 and coaches.
