The countdown to the Chinese Super League has begun and the referees in the league are still a hot topic this season, with some of the referees' blown penalties causing national outrage. Along with the league, anti-corruption and anti-triad operations are underway. Currently, many people in Chinese soccer have been arrested, from FA leaders to club leaders to club players. However, this operation has been going on for almost a year without a single member of the refereeing staff being arrested, which is unrealistic for many fans.
Chinese soccer has only caught Tan Hai, the former head of the CFA's refereeing committee, and no current referees have been caught. Manning, Fu Ming, Zhang Lei and other controversial people are still playing penalty matches in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League. Of course, their level of playing penalties is still so poor that the standard of playing penalties is not uniform. They are tool men on the pitch and rely entirely on var for penalties.
In the eyes of fans, many controversial referees in the Chinese Super League are black whistle advocates. But the reality is that no one has been caught yet. However, the latest news shows that some referees in the Chinese soccer world have already returned stolen goods. Media personality Miao Yuan said: "In the past two days, I heard that referees have started to return stolen money, but the amount is very small. I'm afraid it's just some hospitality income. From the point of view of investigation and evidence, it is really difficult to convict professional positions, unless it can be found that the source of huge sums of money is unknown!"
This is really good or bad for Chinese soccer! The good thing is that some referees really realize the seriousness of the problem and return the stolen goods to keep the peace. The bad thing is that the referees have a high difficulty factor to investigate. You can hardly define this professional post as a really poor level of professionalism or receiving favors for blowing black whistles? There used to be official whistles in the Chinese Super League. Currently there are so many officials in the FA and the referees haven't gotten in yet, which means there are no official whistles.
Of course, media personality Miao Yuan also gave a dumb question, which is "Is an umpire an upstanding role model who makes the occasional mistake, or is he a smart brother who pretends to make mistakes?" Who are these two? Fans are also buzzing about it! No matter who they are, the current anti-corruption and anti-triad operations are the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads and could fall at any time.
The new season of the Chinese Super League referees are very controversial. Many referees have been accused by thousands of people and have been touted as black whistles and people that fans are looking forward to getting in early. Time will give the answer. I believe the relevant staff will check who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. The next thing for Chinese soccer to do is to avoid the third round of anti-corruption sweeps, otherwise it's a vicious circle.
