The epidemic that lasted for two years has not yet passed, with the end of the Chinese Super League promotion and relegation play-offs, the 2021 Chinese Professional League has finally come to an end, perhaps this year is the most difficult year of the Chinese Super League, the neutralization name changed by the Chinese Football Association at the beginning of the season, which indirectly spawned the withdrawal of Suning, the champion of the Chinese Super League last season, and many Chinese Super League clubs this season are deeply mired in unpaid wages, even the eight-time champion Guangzhou team is due to salary arrears, resulting in the naturalized players in addition to Jiang Guangtai being dismissed from the team; but also because of the World Preliminary Round, in order to make way for the national team to prepare for the game , the Chinese Super League revised the rules and schedule, no matter how this year's Chinese Super League is finally over! "Referee magnifying glass'' In accordance with the usual practice, continue to bring you this year's Super League referee law enforcement statistics and evaluation!
This year's Chinese Super League is all enforced by local referees, the biggest feature of this season is that some excellent young referees began to be trained in the Chinese Super League, and the performance is still very good, due to the epidemic situation, this season's Chinese Super League is still implementing the tournament system, resulting in some excellent referees because of work and other reasons can not participate in the whole process of law enforcement, these referees who come to the competition area can devote themselves to the game can not be separated from the strong support of the work unit and family!
Originally scheduled to play 30 rounds of the Chinese Super League, due to the "influence" of the World Preliminary Round, the Football Association once again changed the schedule and regulations, this season the Chinese Super League only carried out 22 rounds of league, 22 rounds of league a total of 176 games, but also divided into two divisions, each division 88 games, so this season's referee law enforcement games are not very many, can exceed 10 games is basically more law enforcement games!
This year, the Professional League Referee Department has fully taken over the selection of professional league referees, and since the 2018 season, the referee information has been announced again before the game, and the referee law enforcement review is held regularly after each round.
This year, there are as many as 45 referees (including 3 recruited referees) and 44 assistant referees (including 4 recruited assistant referees) with super law enforcement qualifications in the Chinese Super League, which is also the largest number in the calendar year.
(Referees and assistant referees with super league law enforcement qualifications for the 2021 season)
Although there are many people with Super League law enforcement qualifications, in view of the fact that the tournament system is still implemented this year, many referees have not participated in this year's Chinese Super League due to work relationships or other arrangements of professional leagues.
01
Overview of the Chinese Super League referees
This year, 36 of the 45 referees were selected, and 9 referees were not selected, but as many as 30 of the 36 referees were given the opportunity to enforce the law as the referee, and only 6 people have not yet enforced the law as the referee, compared with 25 people who won the super referee law enforcement last year, the number of referees who made their debut this year has increased significantly, both in number and in number.
(2021 Season Chinese Super League Won as Referee Law Enforcement Referee)
(Referees involved in law enforcement as fourth officer and VAR)
(Participation in law enforcement as a VAR)
The above 8 referees have not been awarded to enforce the law as referees, which we especially say about Hei Xiaohu, Who has been enforcing the law as the fourth official and VAR in the Chinese Super League for 2 consecutive seasons, Yanran has become a full-time fourth official, Xu Qiangqiang and Sun Shengyu are newly promoted to the Chinese Super League, and they are under 35 years old, and they will definitely have the opportunity to complete the debut of the Chinese Super League referees in the future! This year's Sun Shengyu Law Enforcement Champions Championship Finals finals and won the excellent referee! He Xin and Wang Wei did not obtain the law enforcement qualification of the Chinese Super League at the beginning of the season, so they could only participate in the second stage of law enforcement as video assistant referees!
(Sixth from the left, Sun Shengyu)
Among the 9 referees who have not been selected, the biggest card is undoubtedly Fu Ming, an elite referee of the international AFC, who is actively serving, and the other referees are just not selected to participate in the Chinese Super League, but they have participated in other levels of competition in the law enforcement country, and Fu Ming has basically no law enforcement in domestic competitions this year. The original law enforcement national games were also not participated in because of the World Preliminary Tournament.
Zhao Zhizhi did not participate in the Chinese Super League last year for family reasons, and this year his domestic league did not participate, although he did not officially retire, but according to this development state, it is estimated that it is necessary to transform the referee supervision. Xia Jun, like Zhao Zhizhi, did not participate in any competitions throughout the year.
(Gan Shuran took the oath at the opening ceremony of the Chinese First Division on behalf of all the referees)
The remaining 6 referees did not appear in the Chinese Super League this year, but they have law enforcement records in other venues, and Gan Shuran enforced the opening match of the Chinese First Division, ranking first in 18 times of the Chinese First Division law enforcement this year. 46-year-old Lin Jun and 48-year-old Liu Lin have reached the age of retirement, although they are old referees in the Chinese Super League, but the number of law enforcement games in the past two years has decreased sharply, especially Liu Lin, this year should be the last year of his referee career, the high-intensity Chinese Super League may be a little pressure on him, but this year in the Chinese Second Division, the Chinese Championship and the National Games have law enforcement. In the future, it will be difficult to enforce the game as a referee in the Chinese Super League!
Needless to interpret too much, Fu Ming did not participate in the domestic league, not to encounter any suspension of the whistle, but limited to the domestic epidemic prevention policy, this year Fu Ming has basically been overseas law enforcement, after returning to China to accept the 14 + 7 isolation policy, basically missed the domestic game. As a candidate for the 2022 World Cup Video Assistant Referee, Fu Ming participated in the olympic law enforcement this year, the enforcement of the World Preliminary Round of 40 and the Round of 12, the AFC Champions League, the U23 Qualifiers, and the Women's AFC Champions League.
(Fu Ming law enforcement women's AFC Champions League final)
In a total of 22 rounds and 176 matches this season, Li Haixin has ruled 16 games to rank first, and newly promoted international referee Tang Shunqi has ruled 14 games to rank second. A total of 11 referees have been given the opportunity to make their debuts for chinese super referees this season, which is also the largest number of debuts in the Chinese Super League in history. Among the 11 people who made their debut, Zhang Xiaochen enforced 7 games and ranked first.
Among the referees who made their debut this year, Du Jianxin, Liu Zhao and Yu Bo only enforced 1 game, Jia Zhiliang enforced 2 games, the remaining 7 all enforced more than 3 games, and Liu Wei, who made his debut last season, enforced 2 games this season. Of all the referees who made their debuts, Du Jianxin, who was born in 1991, was the youngest, while Yu Bo, who was born as a player, was 42 years old when he made his debut as a referee in the Chinese Super League. The average age of referees this year is 38.7 years old, which is basically the golden age of the referee's career, and the oldest is Wang Zhe of the Beijing Football Association.
A total of 730 yellow cards and 45 red cards were shown in 162 games in the Chinese Super League last season, averaging 4.51 yellow cards and 0.28 red cards per game. A total of 633 yellow cards have been shown in 176 games this season, averaging just 3.59 per game and 32 red cards, averaging 0.18 per game. There is a significant decline from last season.
Due to the significant increase in the number of referees who have won law enforcement this year compared with previous years, the number of referees and law enforcement games is not very many, and Shi Zhenlu, a referee with more than 3 law enforcement games this year, only showed 12 yellow cards in 9 games, averaging only 1.33 per game, which is the lowest average yellow card among all referees. This is also the lowest average yellow card per game in the Chinese Super League for four consecutive seasons (3 in 18 seasons, 2.25 in 19 seasons, and 3.23 in 20 seasons). The most average per game is Wang Di, who has returned to the international level this year, he showed 20 yellow cards in 4 games, averaging 5 per game; in terms of red cards, 9 referees who have enforced more than 3 games this year have not shown red cards, Zhang Lei has not shown 13 games of law enforcement, Liu Wei has enforced 2 games but showed 4 red cards, an average of 2 per game!
(Law enforcement 3 or more as the base statistics)
This season, the average net game time is 53.98 minutes, and the referee who enforces more than 3 games has the longest average net game time per game, which is the first time of this year's debut, and the net game time of his three games has reached 59.16 minutes, and the lowest is Chen Gang, whose average net game time is only 49.34 minutes.
In terms of blowing fouls, this year's average of 26.53 fouls per game, the average number of blowing fouls per game for more than 3 games is still He Kai, and the average penalty is only 18 times per game. The person with the most fouls per game was Chen Gang, with an average of 31.5 per game.
Seven international level in addition to Li Haixin law enforcement number of doubles, the other are single digits, of which Maning's situation is the same as Fu Ming's, all because of participation in the World Preliminary Tournament and AFC Champions League law enforcement, isolation and epidemic prevention policies, most of this season are abroad and during the quarantine period, missed the league, after the start of the second stage, Maning only enforced 1 Game of the Chinese Super League, served as the fourth official of 1 game. In addition, 2 games were enforced in the Middle A.
Li Haixin's law enforcement games this year reached 16 games, which is also a new high in the number of super law enforcement games, and it is also in the case of 22 rounds, in fact, Li Haixin's performance this season has been very good, but when he was promoted to the international level, he was more than 35 years old, and in the context of the Chinese Football Association's vigorous training of young referees, it is only natural that the younger Tang Shunqi will succeed him and be promoted to the international level.
Li Haixin's law enforcement style is soft, in fact, I like this type, such as Shi Zhenlu and Wang Zhe are also like this, they emphasize the use of language or body movements to guide the game, more affinity, but this gives some fans the impression that the referee's law enforcement scale is loose, especially Li Haixin's first leg of the super promotion and relegation play-off in law enforcement Zhejiang and Dalian people's matches, the law enforcement scale is unified, there is no obvious mistake or omission of judgment after the game, but after the game, they were surrounded by team officials and players, insulted, and the relevant players were even banned by the Football Association for a year.
Since the Chinese professional leagues have all implemented the tournament system this year, it has become the norm for chinese super league referees to intersperse the law enforcement of low-level leagues, and even in the second stage of the Chinese Super League, Ma Li, Zhang Lei and others rushed to the Chinese League A division on the rest day of the Chinese Super League to enforce some key games.
Although the professional league has greatly promoted young referees this season, in some key games, the professional league still trusts some experienced "old" referees, Wang Zhe, Shi Zhenlu, Zhang Long is one of the representatives, 46-year-old Wang Zhe this season law enforcement of the Chinese Super League opener, law enforcement of the FA Cup final, Asian Games U18 final, Chinese Super League Promotion and Relegation Play-off Second Leg Final. Like Shi Zhenlu's law enforcement, the first stage of the Chinese Super League was temporarily transferred to enforce the opening match of the Chinese Second Division, which is optimistic about Shi Zhenlu's ability to control the field, ensure the smooth opening match, and then go to the second leg of the Suzhou Law Enforcement Chinese Super League Promotion and Relegation Play-off After the fa cup final. Zhang Long is the same, in 19 seasons can not get the opportunity to enforce the law Zhang Long law enforcement 9 games in the Chinese Super League this season, although there have been controversies in individual games, but overall experienced referees on the field are indeed better than those Chinese Super League debut referees!
(The statistics of the National Games are only counted in the final stage, the qualifier stage is not counted, and the Chinese Champions League is not a professional league)
Among the referees involved in the law enforcement Super League this year, Zhang Long has the most comprehensive law enforcement games this season, reaching 52 games, and Ma Ning has only participated in 4 games as the least.
02
International level referee
There are a total of 9 international referees under the Chinese Football Association, in 2021 Wang Di returned to the international level, Jin Jingyuan was newly declared as the international level, and in 2022 Tang Shunqi replaced Li Haixin, who could not be promoted to the elite referee of the AFC due to age, so in 2022, only tang Shunqi, who has just been promoted, is not an AFC elite (has not yet participated in the assessment), and the remaining 6 are all AFC elite referees.
Fu Ming, because of his participation in the Olympic Games, AFC Champions League, World Preliminary Tournament and other law enforcement, missed the law enforcement of his own league, and because Fu Ming is a candidate for the 2022 World Cup Video Assistant Referee, this year Fu Ming's international competition basically participated in the video assistant referee, and as the referee, he enforced 1 World Preliminary Tournament, 2 AFC Champions League, 1 U23 Asian Cup Qualifier, and 1 women's AFC Champions League final. Compared to Manin, who is a referee candidate for the 2022 World Cup, this year's international competitions have enforced 6 World Cup qualifiers, 4 AFC Champions League matches, and 1 U23 Asian Cup qualifier. Shen Yinhao enforced 1 World Preliminary Round, and the remaining three AFC elite referees did not get to enforce the law as the referee.
Zhang Lei has enforced 13 Chinese Super League matches this season, and in the 10th round of Shandong Taishan's match against Henan Songshan Longmen, Zhang Lei ushered in his own Super League 100-game enforcement, and is also the sixth referee in the current Chinese Super League to reach 100 games.
Kim Kyung-won, as a newly promoted international referee, was affected by the injury at the beginning of the season, and only participated in the law enforcement of the second stage of the Chinese Super League and the Women's Super League throughout the 2021 season.
03
National referee
(2021 Chinese Super League Opening Ceremony Wang Zhe took the oath on behalf of all referees)
Among the national referees, the first thing we are talking about is Wang Zhe, the oldest in the Chinese Super League, who has turned 46 this year, and the Chinese Football Association has cancelled the mandatory retirement of 45 years old, but under the current circumstances of being younger, it is not clear whether Wang Zhe will turn to referee supervision next season. This year, Wang Zhe, Shi Zhenlu and other experienced teachers have been selected to focus on the battle many times, Wang Zhe has enforced the opening battle of the Chinese Super League, the final of the FA Cup, the second leg of the Chinese Super League promotion and relegation play-off, and also the U18 final of the National Games.
(2021 Chinese FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Cup Final Referee Group)
At the national level, we would like to talk about the referee who made his debut in the Chinese Super League this year, and the referee Who made his debut in all the debuts, Zhang Xiaochen, has the most super league games in law enforcement, but the most comprehensive law enforcement in various events throughout the year is Dai Yige, who has participated in 43 games in the whole year. The other is the "full attendance" referee Horsepower, which has been enforced by horsepower in the Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division, Chinese Second Division, FA Cup, National Games and Women's Super League this season, with 48 comprehensive law enforcement games throughout the year.
Tang Shunqi, since winning the debut of the Chinese Super League last season, this season has been given a heavy responsibility, Tang Shunqi has not lived up to the trust of the referee department, although the number of individual games in the law enforcement throughout the year is also controversial, but overall in the second season of the Chinese Super League has been very good.
Shi Zhenlu, who has also completed his own 100-game law enforcement this season, officially entered the Chinese Super League 100-game club, and the 6 100-game referees who are active in service are currently only him and Wang Zhe are at the national level, and the rest are international level (Ma Ning, Fu Ming, Wang Di, Zhang Lei).

Overview of Assistant Referees of the Chinese Super League
(List of people who have served as assistant referees this season)
A total of 38 assistant referees have been selected from the 44 referees in the Chinese Super League this season, of which 36 assistant referees have served as assistant referees and 2 referees have only served as AVAR. Six referees were not involved in enforcement.
(Only served as an assistant referee for AVAR this season)
This season, 6 assistant referees have not participated in the Chinese Super League, including 2 at the international level and 4 nationals. At the international level, Cao Yi, like Fu Ming, missed almost all the events this season due to participating in the intercontinental competition and the impact of the national epidemic prevention policy, and only partnered with Manning to enforce one China League One. Yang Yang, another international assistant referee, has only played four Games in the Chinese Second Division. Yang Yang, who was not dominant in age, was replaced this year by Tang Chao, who had not yet passed the elite-level examination.
This season, the promotion of assistant referees is the same as that of referees, and the intensity is quite large, with a total of 14 assistant referees making their debut opportunities in the Chinese Super League. However, in addition to the Tang Dynasty law enforcement scenes on the double, the rest of the law enforcement scenes are in the double, the most from Nanjing Jin Chao and Changchun Wang Xihong, who served as an assistant referee for 6 games.
In addition, unlike the younger referees of the Chinese Super League, the assistant referees of the Chinese Super League are generally older, and there are only 4 referees under the age of 35 who have made their debuts, the youngest of which is Wu Mingfeng, who was born in 1990 of the Shandong Football Association, and like Ma Qiang, who was 45 years old when he made his debut in the Chinese Super League.
Among the 36 assistants of the Chinese Super League, Tang Chao, who enforced the Chinese Super League for the first time this year, enforced 23 matches in 22 rounds of the league (the fifth round was enforced in the same round due to the make-up round of 2 matches), of which 10 were the first assistant and 13 were the second assistants, the highest number of law enforcement games in the year. It is worth mentioning that this is also the highest number of law enforcement games of all assistant referees (other assistant referees enforce the law plus AVAR). It is also with this year's excellent performance that he was recommended by the Chinese Football Association to be promoted to an international level referee this year.
Jiao Wei from the Shanghai Football Association won his debut in the Chinese Super League this season, but only enforced 1 game, the fewest of all assistant referees. In terms of assistant video assistant referees, He Long from Liaoning and Ma Qiang from Yanbian held 16 games to tie for first place.
05
Assistant referee at the international level
There are currently 9 international assistant referees under the Chinese Football Association, except for Yang Yang, who withdrew his declaration as an international assistant this year, the other 8 are all AFC elite assistant referees (Guo Jingtao has been promoted to elite).
(Ma Ning, Shi Xiang)
(Cao Yi as referee-pending referee to enforce the AFC Cup final)
Maning's fixed assistant is Shi Xiang and Cao Yi, but this year in the AFC Champions League group stage, the AFC selected Cao Yi and Zhou Fei to partner Ma Ning, therefore, the Chinese Super League Shi Xiang basically did not delay, and Cao Yi because of the isolation and epidemic prevention policy, partnered Ma Ning to enforce 1 game of the Chinese League A throughout the year.
Song Xiangyun, born in 1976, has reached the age of 45 this year, according to the current regulations, next year Song Xiangyun may have to retire and transform into a referee supervisor, throughout the year, Song Xiangyun has law enforcement records in the Chinese Super League, China A, China B, FA Cup and National Games. This year's partner Wang Zhe enforced the final of the U18 group of the National Games, and was also judged as an outstanding referee of the National Games.
Another international assistant referee, Wang Dexin, has enforced as many as Song Xiangyun throughout the year (having played as a fourth official in the FA Cup), and this year's FA Cup final was enforced by Shi Xiang's partner Wang Zhe.
Yang Yang has only played 4 games in the second division this year, and without being promoted to the AFC elite, it is normal to be replaced by a younger person this year.
06
Assistant referee
In terms of national assistant referees, Tang Chao has enforced 23 games in his first Chinese Super League season, and it is precisely because of his excellent performance this season that he was recommended as an international assistant referee in the first season of the Chinese Super League.
(Luo Zheng won the 2019 China A Silver Flag Award)
With Tang Chao, luo zheng recommended international assistant referees, Luo Zheng won the Silver Flag Award in 2019, promoted to the Chinese Super League in the 2020 season, this season Luo Zheng law enforcement is not a lot, the Chinese Super League only enforced 5 games, the rest are mostly participated in the AVAR identity, so after Luo Zheng was recommended as an international level, some people felt that there seemed to be something "catty" inside.
As we said earlier, the assistant referees of the Chinese Super League are generally old, only 9 are under the age of 35, the youngest is Wu Mingfeng in 90 years, and Jiao Wei and Tang Rongdi are 34 years old. Zhang Zhe and Zhao Honglei have not yet won the debut of the Chinese Super League, so in the case of the Chinese Football Association strongly recommending the training of young referees, only Luo Zheng, Tang Rongdi, Wu Mingfeng, Tang Chao, Wang Xihong, Jiao Wei and others meet the conditions. Jiao Wei has only won 1 law enforcement opportunity this season, and in the case that the Shanghai Football Association already has Zhang Cheng and Zhou Fei, even if Jiao Wei has many law enforcement games this year, it is unlikely that he will recommend international level, because no matter how the Shanghai Football Association can not have three international assistant referees. Because the Football Association must balance the football associations after all, but then again, the Shanghai Football Association is basically at the forefront of the country in terms of referee training or referee registration. In the case that Xiaobian did not know at first that Guo Jingtao had been promoted to an AFC elite, Xiaobian thought that Wu Mingfeng's promotion to an international-level assistant was more reasonable, after all, he had participated in the training of the AFC small elite. But as we said earlier, in the case of the Shandong Football Association in the case of Guo Jingtao, Wu Mingfeng cannot recommend it as an international level this year, and some people will say, is it not recommended that the international level be based on the level of law enforcement? Still looking at the association? In our opinion, at present, under the premise that there are basically VAR in international competitions, the pressure on assistant referees is relatively less than before, and we believe that the level of these assistant referees is basically not up and down, then the association where referees develop well will definitely have certain advantages, as far as we have always believed that Yang Yang can be promoted to an international assistant referee, most of them are dipped in the light of the Beijing Football Association. Therefore, in this context, although Luo Zheng has not had many law enforcement scenes this year, he is only 32 years old this year, the second youngest besides Wu Mingfeng, and he was promoted to the Chinese Super League a year earlier than Wu Mingfeng, so it is basically natural to recommend Luo Zheng to be promoted to the international level!
07
Season summary
Because in order to place the World Preliminary Tournament, this year's Chinese Super League is more fragmented than last year, three days of a game is not only a test for players, but also for referees, plus the psychological impact of the tournament system on referees is also very large, but in the absence of foreign referees, our referees can be said to have completed the season task very well, and I personally feel that there has not been a big controversy this year. Especially the promoted young referees, their performance is indeed very good, the future can be expected, so as long as the league referee department trusts our own referees, dares to assume external pressure, and does not shirk responsibility, I think our referees are no worse than some so-called foreign referees.
Look at this year's Zhang Xiaochen, Dai Yige, Mai Mai Tijiang, these Chinese Super League debut referees, although the individual penalties in individual games are debatable, but on the whole are excellent, Zhang Xiaochen of Henan Jianye appeal, the final review team review of the announcement is not also objective and true to the public, Li Haixin's promotion and relegation play-offs Judgment is no problem, not also surrounded, beaten. Therefore, we still have to understand, recognize, and tolerate our own referees. They're not perfect, but we're sure they're fair and impartial when they enforce the law.
Finally, thank you to all the referees for their hard work this season, wish the retired referees this season all the best, and hope that more new faces will appear in the Chinese Super League in the new season, and finally wish to see the Chinese referees again at the 2022 World Cup!
