After moving to England in late 2016, Alex Chilowicz led Stevenage to a 1-0 League One victory over Cambridge United at the Lamex. Chilowicz was originally from the USA.
After leading the Colorado Rapids against DC United in his Major League Soccer debut in 2017, the 36-year-old came to the nation with a plethora of expertise.
He officiated 237 games in the American top division over a six-year span, and the Boro manager thinks he is destined for the highest level in England.
Evans stated: “The referee, in my opinion, had excellent control. People should take heed of this American who hails from the Major League Soccer (MLS).
He’ll wind up in the Premier League, and I’m not saying this because we won; I don’t behave that way.
He’s also competent enough to play in the Premier League.
I told him so on the pitch, along with his decisions for both sides, alertness, and positional sense.
The previous two, David Cook, for instance, I stated that to currently function in the Premier League.
I predicted he would finish up in the Premier League and that [Chilowicz] would when I saw him playing in the lower levels.
As one could anticipate from someone like Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver, his communication to the Cambridge bench as well as our bench was on par.
The best referees speak to you and interact with you like a man, not like a ten-year-old. They listen to you and engage with you.
They only provide a three- or four-word explanation if you make an appeal for anything that they are blind to.
The communication is swift and concise, and they utilise the fourth official to convey information.
I can see why he’s here; Howard Webb probably knew him when he oversaw the officials in the Major League Soccer.
He will only bring those into the EL organisation those he believes will progress through the levels; he won’t bring many.
Cholowicz is undoubtedly among them.
