The Asian dream of the ball has finally become a reality! But it wasn't the players who broke through to Asia this time, it was our refereeing community.
It's not a dream, it's real. The glory of this breakthrough to Asia does not belong to

, but rather belongs to our referees. Recently, the World Football Federation announced the Qatar

The list of referees for the final stage, three of our referees, Ma Ning, Cao Yi and Shi Xiang, were successfully selected, with Ma Ning as the main referee and the remaining two as assistant referees.
The selection of three of our referees is significant.
On the one hand, they are expected to continue history, and perhaps even make new history. The last and only time our referees

The enforcement of the final stage of the game also goes back to 2002 Korea-Japan

World Cup
Mu Yuxin was shortlisted as an assistant referee, but was not given the opportunity to enforce the law. The first two times "shortlisted", our referees are "alone", which to a certain extent reduces their opportunities to enforce the game, especially like Mu Yuxin such as assistant referees.

As a matter of practice, in order to facilitate on-site communication and coordination, the WFA prefers to arrange a pairing of referees and assistant referees from the same country and region in the same match. Therefore, this year's Qatar

The three Chinese referees have a "group advantage" compared to the previous ones, and they are expected to realize the role of assistant referees and even our refereeing teams in the

Final round debut.
On the other hand, our referees will need to overcome more difficulties than in the past to make the cut this time around.January 10, 2019

During the period of the refereeing investigation, our referees temporarily bid farewell to the world game for 15 months, and it was not until April 2021 that they reappeared in the AFC Champions League. After that, Ma Ning, Cao Yi and Shi Xiang were stationed abroad for a long period of time to ensure their presence in AFC's major tournaments, which enabled them to be selected for their outstanding performances.

List of referees.
During their time abroad, in order to ensure the quality of their training and physical fitness, the three Chinese referees practiced until they became dehydrated at one point in the heat of West Asia. Last year, they participated in the Qatar
World Cup
Candidate Referee Elite Seminar. Manning revealed that during the seminar, there were theoretical exams, video case studies, physical fitness tests, practical exercises, etc. every morning, and they trained for several hours every day, with great intensity and density, and they also insisted on training during the short isolation period when they returned to their home countries, in addition to giving each other tips to cope with dietary and sleeping problems. It is in the case of such diligent preparation, the three referees defeated a number of strong opponents, especially Manning, is in the defeat of the famous whistles from Bahrain, Jordan and Japan before getting to the promotion!

The qualifications.
The inclusion of our referees, especially Manning, also warrants our fans to reevaluate and improve on some of their long-held stereotypes. Manning is enforcing
China Super League (soccer league)
The league is known for its toughness, once a single game to make four penalty kicks, more than a dozen cards, sent off two or three people are commonplace, although the vast majority of them are not a misjudgment, but it still makes him become a "thorn in the side of many fans", by a variety of verbal attacks, and even "check the paper! "This is beyond the conventional scale of the attack.
Manning's ability to remain tough for a long period of time actually demonstrates his full confidence in his own professionalism; the fact that he has "offended" almost every team demonstrates to a considerable extent his professional attitude of remaining neutral and treating everyone the same. In contrast, the last appearance of

Lu Jun, our "Golden Whistle", was nowhere near as good, as he accepted bribes for a long time during the 2013 Chinese

The ball is behind bars in an anti-corruption case, and even after his sentence was commuted and released in 2014, he has been barred for life from continuing to play soccer professionally.

Ball from the men's national football and all levels of professional league comprehensively into the trough at the moment, is tantamount to a shot of cardiotonic. Although they are shortlisted, can not directly play a role in the progress of our players and the league, but at least can let more people realize, adhere to the professional, endure loneliness eat bitter, while constantly and actively with the global professional standards, learning advanced experience, will be closer to the mainstream of the world of soccer rather than drift farther and farther away.
