QUESTION: How can I get this kind of sports information every day?
A: Simply click on Attention in the upper right corner.
It's normal if a soccer game edits highlights of goals or great moments. But what if a soccer match can be edited to include a referee's blown call as a highlight? There is no doubt that the game will be very "exciting", and this exciting game is already more than a competitive sport itself. In the 16th round of the Chinese Super League, this happened in the match between leaders Shanghai Harbor and defending champions Wuhan. After 90 minutes of intense fighting, Shanghai Seaport defeated Three Towns Wuhan 3-1. There were only four goals scored, but there were more controversial moments than goals scored under the punishment of the Chinese Super League's golden whistle, Ma Ning.
Manning had at least five controversial moments throughout the match, directly destroying what should have been a very exciting Chinese Super League Heavenly King duel.
The first controversy occurred in the 28th minute of the first half. Zhang Linlian was suspected of a foul on Aziz, a foreigner in three Wuhan towns, but neither Manning nor VAR intervened and came up with nothing.
The second argument took place in the 32nd minute of the first half. A Wuhan Sanzhen defender made physical contact with Port's foreigner Kalon in the penalty area. The latter fell to the ground. Manning watched VAR for five or six minutes before finally awarding a penalty, but Oscar's spot-kick was squashed by Liu Dengzheng.
While there was a certain double standard in the first two decisions, they at least didn't change the trend of the game. The game really got out of hand in the 44th minute when Manning red carded Renhang. The reason was also a bit unreasonable. Manning forgot that Renhang had a previous yellow card. This time, Renhang committed a foul. Manning was just trying to squash things with a yellow card, but he forgot that Renhang's two yellow cards turned into a red card.
Afterwards, players from both sides gathered together and the scene got out of control. He Chao roared at Maning for the yellow, and Wuhan Sanzhen bench protested against the yellow. Reminded by the cutter, Maning came to the sidelines and turned Wei Shihao red. Wei Shihao was so angry that he pointed at Maning and spat out the scent. In just four minutes, Maning showed two yellows and two reds as the master of cards resurfaced.
For the fifth time, Manning penalized Jiang Guangtai on a direct red card in the second half, and while the red card controversy was interpreted by most fans as a supplemental balance, the fans didn't buy it. Because in the past, all three towns in Wuhan suffered a lot of punishment. Three towns in Wuhan fell behind by two goals and were penalized by one. The whole team's mentality was blown. At this point, even if one person was sent off for port, it couldn't change the big picture.
It could be argued that these penalties directly destroyed the conversation and even the signage of the Premier League. After all, foreign fans may stage a wave of strange jeers when the video goes viral.
After the game, Manning quickly hit the top searches. Manning's Weibo comment section was once again taken over by fans. The fans could be said to be shouting. The content of the comment section is only the limit of the platform's rules, but not the limit of the fans. The intellectual property of the fans came from all over the country. This time, Manning caused public outrage.
Not only fans, but various media members also expressed their dissatisfaction with Manning's punishment. Reporter Ma Dexing wrote, "What is Manning doing? Is it necessary? In addition, the FA should not have arranged the enforcement referee from the beginning. Why? Everyone knows." Li Xuan, director of Soccer Daily, even swore, "Let's not talk about anything else, Manning's level of on-site control is really garbage."
In fact, fans who regularly follow the CSL and the comments section of related news have more or less heard the phrase, "the theory of the soccer championship". As for who wins the championship, it depends on which team has recently made the most profit from refereeing. Many fans and members of the media know this. This melodrama has been played out more than once and it seems to be sending a message to an imprisoned former chairman - don't bite off more than you can chew on the inside, someone else will take care of the outside.
