With the first round of the new Chinese Super League season in full swing, the performances of local coaches, local scorers and referees have been eye-catching. However, four red cards on the field of play were like a heavy bomb, quickly igniting a discussion on how to accurately interpret the new rules and maintain a good atmosphere in the game. According to a Beijing Youth Daily reporter, the CFA Disciplinary Committee has launched a comprehensive review of the violations in the first round of Super League matches. At present, Zheng Zheng and Xu Xin are both highly likely to be penalized additionally for red cards.

The first round of the league came to an end on the evening of June 5, with nine matches yielding a total of 23 goals, of which 12 were contributed by local players, which undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for local players.

But the first round of matches, a total of four red cards, especially Hebei Cangzhou Lions player Guo Hao accumulated two yellow into a red, triggered widespread concern and the organizers of a hint of worry. 3 June night, Taishan international Xu Xin received the first red card of the new season of the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Football League preparatory group immediately issued a verbal reminder to the various regions of the maintenance of discipline of the match style of play.

However, on the afternoon of June 4, the seaport team international Xu Xin in the aerial competition for the ball stamped on the opposing player Hu Jinghang, received the league new season "second red". After the game, the Internet circulated the Dalian Jinzhou Stadium players access door glass was shattered photos, suspected to be related to Xu Xin, but the official has not been confirmed.

Nonetheless, the tournament organizers and the CFA Disciplinary Committee have investigated the incident based on relevant information. It is a foregone conclusion that violators will be punished.

The first round of the league's disciplinary or suspected disciplinary cases evaluation, processing work conference was held on the 6th. Zheng Zheng and Xu Xin, as the main players of the national football team, the characterization of their red card actions became the focus of attention. From the performance of the two on-duty international level referees, the two men's foul action is not a reckless foul in the general sense. However, the nature of the two men's action is a serious foul or violent behavior, the disciplinary committee needs to rely on the referee, match supervisor, referee supervision and other officials of the report and the relevant image materials to judge.

Guoan's Zhang Chengdong received a red for bringing down Cangzhou Lions' Oscar, with obvious tactical overtones, and he is likely to receive a natural 1-match suspension. Guo Hao is unlikely to be given an additional penalty after accumulating two yellow cards for a brutal foul.

However, with the exception of Zhang Chengdong's red card, the red card actions of the other three carry the obvious implication of physically assaulting the opposing player. Regardless of whether their actions were intentional or subconscious, they could have caused bodily harm to the infringed players. Therefore, the tournament organizers will require the teams to further study the rules, maintain the discipline of the game, and strengthen the ideological education of the players and other members. A source from the tournament organizers said, "We will punish serious on-field disciplinary actions with heavy and strict penalties and strengthen education and management."
