In the 25th round of the Chinese Super League, many non-technical fouls are showing signs of rising. How should referees enforce the law in the face of all this chaos? New Vision in Sports continues to invite senior international referee Wang Xuezhi to explain these controversial decisions in detail.
Shandong Taishan vs Hebei
Controversial Penalty:In the 60th minute of the match, Shandong Taishan's foreign aid Kressan broke through with the ball from the left side and fell down on the side line of the penalty area, and the referee Yu Bo awarded a penalty kick at the first time.
Wang Xuezhi: When the Hebei defenseman made contact with Cressan, the latter fell to the ground in the penalty area. At this point, the referee is in a bad position in the dynamic running, the observation angle overlaps, it is difficult to see the contact point between the two sides. var did not prompt, we repeatedly observed in the camera, the contact point is outside the penalty area, the defender sliding shovel after no additional action. var at this time can intervene to confirm the location of the foul, and then provide the referee to make a decision. Therefore, the goal is more accurately awarded as a free kick.
Wuhan Sanzhen vs. Henan Songshan Longmen
Controversial penalty: In the 48th minute of the game, Wuhan Sanzhen made physical contact without the ball in the penalty area, Liu Yiming saw that Huang Zichang would overtake him from behind, so he tripped him, and referee Shi Zhenlu did not make a call.
Wang Xuezhi: This action should not be a professional player's action on the field. It was an unnecessary foul without the ball. The ball was out of Liu Yiming's competition, but his reckless interception caused the attacker to fall to the ground. If there is no physical contact between this action and the opponent, an indirect free kick, physical contact and a penalty kick are awarded.
Wuhan Changjiang vs Beijing Guoan
Controversial penalty: In the 66th minute of the match, Beijing Guoan player Wang Gang made a quick break with the ball. Bruno put Wang Gang behind and then the ball caused a clash between the two players. Referee Zhang Long and the referee team handled the clash cold. In the end, the referee's decision was to give a yellow card to Bruno who pulled the man.
Wang Xuezhi: Facing a fast break by Beijing Guoan player Wang Gang, Bruno first pulled his opponent and then deliberately kicked him from behind. This action in itself constitutes a serious foul. After Wang Gang fell, he kicked his opponent with his foot. Their fouls deserved a red card each.
Shenzhen vs Shanghai Seaport
Controversial Penalty:In the 63rd minute of the game, Shenzhen's foreign aid Achim Peng broke through with the ball, harbor defenders kept pulling. Li Shenyuan finally hugged Achimpen, who also swung his elbow with his arm. Li Shenyuan fell to the ground. Referee Wang Jing called a foul on Li Shenyuan and gave the ball to Shenzhen.
Wang Xuezhi: The continuous pulling by the Harbour defense prevented the attackers from controlling the ball several times. The referee should have shown the yellow card to the offending player in time after the foul.
Controversial Penalties: Inaccuracy and relegation of referees are one of the reasons for friction between the whole teams in the game. This round of league matches, such as the match between Dalian Ren and Guangzhou, and the match between Guangzhou City and Meizhou Hakka, saw group clashes between players from both sides and problems pointing directly at the referees.
Wang Xuezhi: The referee has repeatedly made mistakes of principle and misjudgment, angering coaches and players, the referee's inaccurate penalty decisions, the use of red and yellow cards to constantly lower the handling, injury fouls everywhere, and var duds leading to the referee being even more helpless in the face of serious fouls and violence. If this continues, the scale of penalties in the Chinese Super League will be out of line with international standards.
Throughout the 25th round, it is obvious that the referee's ability to manage the game is weak, the gains and losses are not allowed to be penalized, the punishment for serious fouls and violence is lax, and the style of the game continues to improve. Zhou Guoping once said: "Many people's so-called maturity is just being custom rubbed off the edges, become worldly and realistic. This is not maturity, but rather the premature aging of the spirit and the demise of personality."
Seeing through the phenomenon to the essence is a necessary quality for referees. The scale of punishment is not that you adapt to the players and please the players, but the scale of letting the players adapt to the rules. Referees should dare to adhere to their original intention, rather than endure insults and siege, but also to maintain the bottom line of purifying the game. The Chinese Super League needs to be "clean" referees should be calm, cool, strong, decisive, and dare to penalize serious fouls and violence, to maintain the field "clean" This is the purest background of the referee, but also the most beautiful blank in your years of law enforcement.
