Although the Chinese Super League is on a break, Shandong Taishan, Wuhan Sanzhen and Zhejiang team are shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Asian Championship. In the second round of the group stage, all three teams suffered defeats, especially Wuhan Sanzhen's defeat, which was a 1-3 defeat on the road against South Korea's Pohang Steelers. Despite their best efforts, Sanzhen's fitness and attacking play were exquisite, and had it not been for Xie Pengfei's red card for shoveling in the first half, they might have been able to escape with their lives intact.
Xie Pengfei's shoveling was not malicious and his action was not too big, but he was accidentally awarded a red card. The referee should have shown a yellow card for such a dangerous action, but the Chinese Super League referee seemed to take a different approach. Under the epidemic, the Chinese Super League has not hired foreign referees for many years, and local referees have become the main protagonists, but their ability to enforce the law and familiarity with the business is doubtful.
In many tournaments, foul penalties are unbalanced, and the presentation of yellow and red cards does not match the actual situation. Such as Shanghai seaport and tianjin jinmen tiger battle, zhang linfei shoveling mingri, causing the opposing player season reimbursement, zhang linfei only get a yellow card, no additional punishment after the game, triggered controversy.
Big fouls by players are often overlooked, leading to the formation of a false sense of awareness among Chinese Super League players. In the international arena, such awareness of Chinese players repeatedly damaged, Xie Pengfei AFC Champions League red card is clear evidence. Hong Kong team did not enter the AFC Champions League, but the three towns Xie Pengfei damage, should be held responsible.
Wuhan Three Town are still in the running for a place in the AFC Champions League group stage, despite a draw and a loss to finish second from the bottom of the group. Players need to keep in mind to avoid unnecessary fouls, and the FA should also address the refereeing issue to prevent heavy losses in future international matches...
