Russian term

опытный Французов

Russian to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation european football/soccer
In the following sentence:
В то время как опытный Французов за три тура ни разу не вытянул "билетик" и не отсудил ни одного матча!

Taken from an article about Spartak complaining about Sukhina, and comparing him to other European refs. Here's more context:

Мы все время пытаемся изобрести "велосипед" и почему-то игнорируем опыт, накопленный в европейском футболе. Разве там назначают судей за сутки до игры? Разве центральный матч чемпионата может обслуживать малоизвестный арбитр? В то время как опытный Французов за три тура ни разу не вытянул "билетик" и не отсудил ни одного матча!

the closest would be:"seasoned veteran", highly experienced player who participated in a lot games

Actually, I missed that he is an arbiter, so he didn't play but judged a lot of games. So it would be "seasoned Frantzuzov" (I am not sure I am transliterating his last name correctly)

Thank you, glad to be of help!
Note from asker:
опытный is a word I am familiar with-- my question is more grammatical: what to make of "опытный Французов" as a unit?
