I. Background

""When did Shandong Taishan become glassy-eyed, and how can he scream at the slightest aggravation?""

"Even if the referee is targeting you, wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to prove yourself in a hard-nosed manner, rather than just harping on it?

These are some of the current media and fan evaluations of Shandong Taishan.

So far, the league has played 17 rounds. In nearly half of the matches, Shandong Taishan basically had all kinds of controversies. And there are a lot of controversies, seriously affecting the results of the game and the league standings. This is naturally unacceptable to Shandong Taishan, which has the intention of pursuing.

Therefore, both Shandong Taishan and the fans appeared to be exceptionally angry about the phenomenon, pointing the finger at the referee on duty and the Football Association.

So Shandong Taishan in the end is not wrong, or Taishan team is not blx, pretentious, the following data is very straightforward.

Second, key factors and their examples

Is there a problem with the referee's professionalism, or is the referee deliberately targeting Shandong Taishan? "Penalty kicks are one of the key penalties in a match and are particularly important.

Let me tell you a stat:Halfway through the league, Shandong Taishan's offense is not weak, scoring a total of 27 goals, ranking in the top 5 (4th) of the league. But can you imagine that there are no penalties in those 27 goals?

League-leading Shanghai Harbour had three penalties, second Shanghai Shenhua and third Chengdu Rongcheng; Beijing Guoan and Changchun Yatai, second in attack, both had penalties, including last season's Chinese Super League champions Wuhan Sanzhen (three penalties).

In the goal list, the number of goals scored by Shandong Taishan is particularly "clean" because there are no penalties. It seems to be out of place with the teams before and after the ranking. After all, people have penalty kicks data.

What is the reason for this situation? Shandong Taishan's offense is too weak? Or is the penalty area not good enough to make kills? Or the opponent's defense is too good?

No matter what you say or what I explain, it's not convincing enough, and we'll prove it with the following example.

In the fourth round, Taishan challenged Beijing Guoan on the road. In the last stage of the first half, Shandong Taishan launched a fast counterattack and directly rushed into Guoan's penalty area. At the moment of receiving the ball, Cressan was violently knocked down by Park Yang who was following him when he was about to shoot, the referee didn't say anything. Kressan didn't get up for a long time after being knocked down violently by Bo Yang.

First of all, it's clear that Cressan didn't fake the fall, but as a defender, Berjan lost his position and then he overacted in his haste, which is a foul. However, after the referee hesitated, he said nothing. Mind you, as a worthy explanation of the game, Xu Liang, a former decorated Guoan player, said the goal should have been a penalty.

In the ninth round of the league, facing Shenzhen, Fellaini found Fellaini in the penalty area after he started the ball on the Shandong Taishan side. Fellaini used his height advantage to squeeze out two defenders, and then picked up the ball ready to shoot. However, at this time, Liao Biao directly pulled Fellaini's shirt in a hard way, preventing him from advancing, and Fellaini had no choice but to fall to the ground.

On slow motion replay, the foul was clear throughout and the penalty was undoubtedly awarded. However, after a short communication, the referee decided it wasn't a penalty, which caused a lot of discussion among fans. If you don't commit a foul by pulling on your jersey and falling down, would you trip your opponent?

A "foreign whistle" is imminent and on the agenda.

From the above Shandong Taishan's "controversial penalty" problem, we can peep into the whole Chinese soccer referee circle.

In fact, not only Shandong Taishan, other teams have more or less a lot of controversial penalties, just Taishan team's problem is more prominent.

A few mistakes are acceptable. After all, referees are human too. But the fact that there are all sorts of controversies in every round only shows that the referee's ability to do his job is, really, in serious question. The referee is the voice of fairness and impartiality. Once the referee blows penalty after penalty, one after controversial, how can you keep the players and fans on the field focused on the game? Referees can make mistakes, but the cost of that mistake is too great for the team. After all, because of your bad call, the team could lose the game and lose points that they shouldn't have lost. At the end of the season, the team could lose the entire championship because of this level of effort.

According to the German turn Zhu Yi and its Beiqing and other media reports, the Football Association in the end of the Asian Games, ready to hire "foreign whistles" on the Chinese Super League key matches.

How so? There is nothing wrong with this decision at all. The writer used to think that hiring a whistle to help us would squeeze the growth of domestic referees to the detriment of domestic referees. Now it seems that idea is too biased. Our domestic players are failing themselves. How can we gain everyone's trust?
