May 8 (Xinhua) -- According to Oriental Sports Daily, veteran former international referee Wang Xuezhi talked about the massive clash between Dalian Yingbo and Guangzhou in the Central League, saying that the referee's soft hands sowed hidden dangers for the game when he was a guest on the Sports New Vision program.
In Wang Xuezhi's opinion, if the referees on duty in Dalian and Guangzhou had been more resolute in holding the line on penalties, the match, which later caused an uproar, would have been a different trend and outcome.
According to Oriental Sports Daily, veteran international referee Wang Xuezhi mentioned the serious clash between Dalian Yingbo and Guangzhou in the Chinese League A, suggesting that the referee's soft hand may have led to a potential safety hazard in the match. Wang Xuezhi thought the penalty was too lenient and thought the action should have been awarded a straight red card. This bottom line is relaxed and it's hard to control the game later on."
In the 15th minute of the first half of the match, Dalian Yingbo foreigner Embalo elbowed Guangzhou. On the assistant referee's prompting, the referee showed a red card to Embalo. In addition, in the second minute of the second half, the referee gave Guangzhou a penalty kick, with which the visitors also broke the goal. In front of more than 40,000 Dalian fans, they beat Dalian Yingbo 1-0. They had been unbeaten since the start of the year and pulled them off the top of the table - although the referee's two calls were quite accurate according to Wang Xuezhi's explanation, the Dalian Yingbo players, who were desperate for an equalizer, obviously thought otherwise, which was the main reason why the game gradually spiraled out of control.
After Guangzhou took the lead, Dalian Yingbo's Wang Xuanhong hit Guangzhou's Wu Junjie with his elbow without the ball, although Wu Junjie fell to the ground, the referee only gave Wang Xuanhong a yellow card. As the game went into injury time, Dalian Yingbo's goalkeeper Sui Weijie took advantage of a set piece and entered Guangzhou's penalty area. When Guangzhou's No.8 player was close to the defense, Sui Weijie had a swinging motion and knocked down the opponent, and the referee also gave Sui Weijie a yellow card.
"In both cases, elbows and punches, the referee in the game out of control when the downgrade of the yellow card, further exacerbated the conflict between the two sides. In the opinion of Wang Xuezhi, the referee some soft "popularity", not only did not calm the players' emotions, but also buried a bigger hidden trouble: "The referee must respect the fact that the game fouls, according to the rules, control fouls in the bud, do not exacerbate the conflict between the two sides.
