The 6th round of the Chinese Super League continued, in a focus battle, the big dark horse Henan Songshan Longmen continued to black to the end, 2-0 victory over dalian people of the all-Chinese class, the first game to surpass the wuhan three towns to rise to the top of the list. In this game, there was another major red card change in the intervention of VAR, and Henan Songshan Longmen played one less person in the first half, but still won smoothly.
The red card, which was changed by the video assistant referee's intervention, appeared in the 24th minute of the first half, when Ma Xingyu, a member of the Henan Songshan Dragon Gate team, made a flying kicking motion during the scramble. After the video assistant referee's reminder intervened, the referee watched the video replay and directly showed a red card. Henan Songshan Longmen played 1 less person in the later matches, and finally won 2-0 lightly.
In fact, since the video assistant referee intervened, the referee also personally watched the video replay, and there was no problem with the red card. Judging from the slow-motion replay, it is indeed a violent foul action, and it does cause injuries to the opponent. However, as the commentator of this game, Xu Liang's commentary caused controversy, especially for the red card penalty, Xu Liang was even more surprising.
According to Xu Liang, this foul should not even be given a yellow card. For Xu Liang's statement, fans do not agree, whether it is the degree of damage and amplitude of the action, there is no problem in giving a direct red card. Besides, after repeated confirmation by the video referee and the referee, the red card was the correct award.
Xu Liang, as a commentator, should maintain a neutral point of view, especially as a platform commentator, and the judgment of the game should maintain a fair point of view. After explaining the match, Xu Liang also opened a live broadcast, although he said that he would not explain the matter, but still answered to the fans why he thought that even the yellow card should not be given.
Perhaps for this controversy, if the Chinese Football Association issues a fine in the future, it can best explain whether this red card is reasonable or not. If you follow the scale of the first two rounds, this action will most likely have an additional suspension, after all, it is an obvious malicious foul action, not a coherent action that Xu Liang said.
