On January 11, Beijing time, the first semi-final match of this FA Cup, defending champion Shandong Taishan played against the all-Chinese team Shanghai Shenhua, and finally Taishan team beat Shenhua 2-0 with goals from Song Long and Moisés to successfully enter the FA Cup final. However, in this focus battle, a conflict broke out, and the Taishan team even lost a big general, and the head coach Hao Wei was so anxious to curse people.
The clash occurred in the 80th minute, 2 minutes before Taishan had just scored the first goal by Song Long to take the lead, Taishan team's attack was gaining momentum, Moisés wanted to attack again after receiving the ball in midfield, Shenhua young player Zhu Yue could not return in time to put Moisés down with a tackle in the back of the side. Moisés got up for the first time to find Zhu Yue theory, who expected that his teammate Cressan was anxious first, and directly rushed up and knocked Zhu Yue away, and Zhu Yue who fell to the ground even rolled on the ground several times.
Cressan was caught off guard by such a rage, and players from both sides quickly surrounded the referee for explanation. The place of the incident happened to be in front of the bench of the Taishan team, and the head coach Hao Wei was also anxious after seeing Cressan's behavior, and directly scolded the field. This scolding must have been directed at Cressan, because his lack of calm will bring losses to the Tarzan team, which has already steadily reached the final.
In the end, referee Shi Zhenlu showed a red card and sent Cressan off directly. Cressan, who received a red card, walked off the field with his head bowed, and when passing in front of the bench, coach Hao Wei directly ignored it, which shows how dissatisfied he is with Cressan's behavior.
Cressan is the strongest point in Taishan attack, scoring 25 goals in the just-concluded Chinese Super League to win this season's Chinese Super League Silver Boot. A red card in this match means that Cressan will miss the FA Cup final. The loss of the team's top scorer before the final was a huge blow to the Tarzans, and the presence of this red card left the team in no mood to celebrate advancing to the final.
The most unforgivable thing is that Cressan took the initiative to "apply" for a red card, and when he made such an act, he was completely disregarding the interests of the team. Some media people analyzed that Cressan may have been in a bad mood because his injury did not fully recover, and finally appeared such uncalm behavior. But more media people did not understand Cressan's behavior, and many even ridiculed him for wanting to take an early holiday.
The reason for the sudden rage during the game may only be clear to Cressan himself. Shandong Taishan has been in poor form this season, facing Shanghai Shenhua in the first half without a decent shot, until the second half 78 minutes to score, although successfully reached the final, but the team did not have an easy journey. Cressan's red card not only cost them a goalscorer, but also affected the atmosphere of the team, which will undoubtedly have an impact on their final.
How to deal with Cressan's absence will be the key to Taishan team's title defense, can Hao Wei come up with any good methods? We'll see.
