In the previous match between Dalian Yingbo and Guangzhou FC, which was the focus of the Central League, two violent incidents occurred, causing widespread concern. After the match, the Review Group of the CFA Referee Committee commented on the two incidents that occurred and announced the shocking verdict - Dalian goalkeeper Sui Weijie's violent behavior should be punished by a red card, while Dalian's foreigner Kotnik's conflicting behavior should also be punished severely.
In the 102nd minute of the match, Dalian Yingbo's goalkeeper Sui Weijie intentionally raised his hand and struck Guangzhou's No. 8 player in the face before resuming play from a free kick, and the referee only showed a yellow card warning. However, the panel unanimously agreed that the behavior constituted an act of violence and was not intended to steal the ball, and should be sent off with a red card. This decision is undoubtedly a wake-up call for Sui Weijie and shows the FA's firm attitude towards maintaining discipline on the field of play.
Even more striking was the chaotic scene at the end of the match. Kotelnik, Dalian Yingbo's No. 44, caused a scene of chaos when he quickly charged at the Guangzhou goalkeeper in the field. The majority of the assessment panel felt that Kotnik's behavior also constituted violence and warranted a red card. Although the referee did not impose a penalty immediately after the match, the panel emphasized that the referee still had the power to take disciplinary action after the match and could not turn a blind eye to Kotnik's actions.
The two incidents caused heated discussions on the Internet. Many fans and experts said that a soccer match should be a fair game and that any form of violence should not be tolerated. In order to maintain the fairness and order of the game, they called on players and referees to respect the rules of the game more.
At the same time, this is also a wake-up call for the Chinese soccer community. In recent years, Chinese soccer has made remarkable progress in all aspects, but the discipline of behavior on the field of play has always been a difficult problem affecting the development of Chinese soccer. These two incidents remind us once again that we should further strengthen the education of players' professional ethics, improve the referee's enforcement level, and jointly create a healthy and fair competition environment.
