At the Bayern Schützenfest: Referee probably saved players' lives. Mainz's Joshua Guilavogui and Anthony Caci collided violently.
The referee immediately recognized the serious situation and saved the player from suffocating. The Frenchman had swallowed his tongue during the action. Ittrich doesn't just know situations like this from the football field. The 45-year-old is a police officer. He hopes that his action has set a positive example for society: “It shouldn't be the fault of the police officer, but rather each of us. In everyday life, situations can always happen in which someone needs help,” says IttrICH.
