In the current world football, VAR has been widely used in men's football and has long been used in the Chinese Super League. Unfortunately, VAR has not yet been applied to the Women's Super League. In a match between the women's super league and Shaanxi in the fourth round, the Guangdong team suffered a goal line suspense case because it did not have VAR technology. As the "victim party", Jia Xiuquan used to love Peng Shimeng's post-match grievances and angrily scolded the referee: Men's football has VAR, can't women's football have it?
In the 4th round of the Women's Super League, Guangdong Meizhou Hakka Women's Football Team faced the promoted Ma Shaanxi Women's Football Team. In this game, the former international peng Shimeng once again started for Guangdong. In the first two rounds of this season, Guangdong played well, winning 2-1 against Jianye and 2-0 against Shandong. But in the last round, they lost 0-1 to Changchun.
The Shaanxi women's football team performed poorly in the first three rounds, first 0-3 to Wuhan, then 1-1 to Changchun, 0-1 to Sichuan, so far has not won the first victory of the season. Due to the limited strength of the opponent, this game is a good opportunity for Guangdong to get points. But unexpectedly, they suffered an unexpected blow.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Guangdong made a foul on the right and gave the opponent a free kick opportunity in a better position. Xie Ting directly attacked the goal. As the main goalkeeper of the Guangdong team, Peng Shimeng immediately fell to the ground and saved the ball. Subsequently, the Guangdong defender rushed to release the ball before the opponent could make up for it. As an attacking side, the Shaanxi players immediately raised their hands to indicate that the ball had crossed the goal line. At this time, the referee was in the forbidden area, not far from the scene of the incident. Subsequently, the referee decisively made a penalty, pointing his right finger to the middle circle, indicating that the goal was valid. Shaanxi took a 1-0 lead.
However, slow motion showed that Peng Shimeng saved the ball on the goal line when he saved, at least, the ball as a whole had not crossed the goal line. By the rules, this goal should not count. As a party, Peng Shimeng smiled bitterly after learning of the referee's decision, and because the game was in progress, she and her teammates insisted on finishing the game. Shaanxi also won the season with this controversial goal.
At the first time after the game, Peng Shimeng angrily scolded the referee: "If your eyes are eagle eyes, I have nothing to say." Are you 100% sure the ball has completely crossed the line? Yes, your referees say that they will enter if they enter, and they will not enter if they do not enter, but have you respected the players on the field? It may be because of this one ball that determines the outcome of this game. Men's football has VAR, women's football can not have? Can there be a bottom-line referee? "Indeed it is.
As the top league of Chinese football, the women's super league has not yet applied VAR technology, which is actually a bit unreasonable. It should be known that the strength of Chinese women's football has long been at the forefront of Asia, and it has recently returned to the top of Asia, bringing supreme glory to Chinese football and being called the face of Chinese football. But even so, the Women's Super League has not attracted the attention of the Football Association.
If VAR technology requires hardware support and cannot be solved in a short period of time, then the Football Association can assist in the judgment by adding a bottom-line referee. Is it true that the FA's claim to vigorously support the development of women's football is just a verbal remark?
