In the fierce competition of the Central League, the match between Dalian Yingbo and Guangzhou FC was a dramatic scene, and two violent clashes aroused the public's strong concern. The CFA Referee Committee's panel conducted an in-depth review and revealed a shocking verdict: Dalian goalkeeper Sui Weijie deserved a red card for his violent behavior, while Dalian's foreign aid player Kotelnik's argumentative behavior also warranted a heavy penalty.
In the 102nd minute of the match, Dalian Yingbo goalkeeper Sui Weijie intentionally raised his hand and struck Guangzhou's No. 8 player in the face while resuming play from a free kick, and the referee only showed a yellow card. However, the panel unanimously ruled that the act was clearly violent, not a fight for possession, and should have been expelled with a red card. This decision has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Sui Weijie, and also demonstrated the FA's determination to maintain discipline on the field of play.
Even more staggering were the chaotic scenes at the end of the match. Dalian Yingbo's No. 44 player, Kotelnik, sped across the field and charged at the Guangzhou goalkeeper, causing chaos. The majority of the assessment panel felt that Kotelnik's behavior was also violent and should have been penalized with a red card. Even if the referee did not impose a penalty immediately after the match, the Panel emphasized that the referee still had the right to take disciplinary measures after the match and could not ignore Kotnik's violation.
These two incidents have sparked heated debates on the Internet. Numerous fans and experts have said that soccer should be a fair competition and that any violent behavior will not be tolerated. In order to defend the fairness and order of the game, they called on players and referees to abide by the rules of the game.
At the same time, this incident has also sounded an alarm for the Chinese soccer community. In recent years, China's soccer has made great progress in many aspects, but the problem of discipline on the field of play has always been a stumbling block to the development of Chinese soccer. These two incidents once again warned us that we must strengthen the players' professional ethics education, improve the referee's enforcement standards, and jointly create a healthy and fair competitive atmosphere.
