Inexplicably, Heilongjiang Bingcheng's Liu Jianye has accumulated four yellow cards this season, but he still failed to play in this round against Kunshan, which indicates that he did not suffer a suspension. After careful verification.

The official statistics are not wrong.
Liu Jianye's situation is rather unique for the following reason: he is playing both a player and an official role for Heilongjiang this season. According to this season's
soccer league
The rule is that once an official has accumulated two yellow cards, he is suspended, while a player is suspended for four. However, if a person is both a player and an official, a stricter guideline applies, i.e., suspension for two yellow cards.
Liu Jianye is unique in that all four of his yellow cards have come from the bench and he has changed identities during the season. The specific details are as follows:
Early in the season, he signed up as both a player and an official.
In the 6th round, he was shown a yellow card in the 94th minute when he was both a player and an official.
In the 8th round, he was yellow carded again in the 89th minute, again as a player & official.
In the 9th round, he was suspended for double duty due to the accumulation of two yellow cards.
After the 10th round, Liu canceled his enrollment as an official and retained only his player status.
In the 21st round, he was shown a yellow card in the 66th minute as a player.
In the 23rd round, he was yellow-carded again in the 69th minute, still as a player.
It is worth noting that Liu Jianye will need to re-accumulate yellow cards from round 10 onwards due to his suspension in round 9. At the same time, due to his removal of official status, he is now left as a player only, and therefore the four-yellow suspension rule now applies instead of the previous two-yellow suspension.
In summary.

The stats on the starting roster are correct, Liu Jianye has now accumulated two yellow cards and needs to accumulate two more before he is suspended.
