The penalty is not awarded, the goal is blown, and it is a pity that the national football team's 3 points become 1 point?
In front of the 10-20 shot ratio data, the national football team drew 0-0 with Tajikistan and won the first point of this Asian Cup, which may be acceptable for national football fans. However, the national football team is not without the opportunity to counterattack this extremely difficult game and get a great chance to qualify from the group.
The first chance came in the 35th minute, Zhu Chenjie successfully fought for the top in the penalty area, the ball fell to the feet of Wang Qiuming, Wang Qiuming volleyed and was saved by the opponent's defender on the goal line. The first threatening scoring opportunity of the national football team in this attack, just when the fans felt sorry, there was a VAR intervention on the live broadcast screen, and the subsequent slow motion showed that Zhu Chenjie smashed the ball on the open arm of the opposing defender after the success of the battle.
It can be said that this is a controversial defensive action, but after the VAR prompt intervened, the referee only lightly suspended the game, did not delve into whether a penalty should be awarded, and signaled the national football team to continue to take corner kicks.
The second chance, and the most controversial decision. In the 81st minute, Xie Pengfei took a corner kick, Zhu Chenjie jumped his head high, and the ball went into the net. Just as the national football players and fans were happily celebrating the goal, VAR intervened again to signal that Jiang Guangtai was suspected of offside.
This time, the referee immediately ran to the sidelines to watch the video replay carefully. In the end, it was ruled that Jiang Taiguang was offside, and the national football goal was invalid. This decisive penalty not only made the fans at the scene inexplicable for a while, but even the fans sitting in front of the TV and the fans with God's perspective were puzzled.
It has to be said that if the rules are applied to the two penalties, the first handball is not awarded a penalty, which can be understood as the Tajikistan defender being handballed.
And the second time, at the moment when Zhu Chenjie scored with a header, Jiang Guangtai was closer to the goal than the goalkeeper, so in the face of the last defender, Jiang Guangtai's position was indeed in an offside position.
However, the offside decision depends on whether Jiang Guangtai clearly interferes with the last defender. Strictly speaking, Jiang Guangtai does have the action of pushing the defender with his hands, but this regular action does not completely prevent the opposing player from jumping to handle the incoming ball. In fact, the opposing defenders were more likely to give up on blocking the ball into the net.
However, the referee subjectively believed that Jiang Guang was too offside to interfere with the defenders, and the attitude was clear, and the decision to invalidate the goal was also extremely decisive. This kind of scene is not uncommon in football, and even in a top league like the Premier League, it is not uncommon for a penalty to be awarded.
Therefore, judging from these two clear-cut punishments, it is difficult to say whether the referee has a task, but the punishment of the national football team is at least extremely harsh. This is also why Dong Lu mentioned after the game that the referee of this game attracted a lot of firepower to the national football team.
The same situation, in fact, also occurred in the World Preliminaries, in the game against the Thai team, Wu Xi was single-handed by the Thai player in the penalty area, and the referee not only did not award the "red dot package", but sentenced Wu Xi to fake fall. The many unfavorable penalties against the national football team in a short period of time have somewhat made the outside world feel that the AFC is targeting the national football team.
A previous report by Ma Dexing, a reporter from "Sports Weekly", seems to provide more evidence for this speculation from the outside world. According to Ma Dexing, the AFC held a working meeting of the teams participating in the final stage of the 2023 Asian Cup in Doha in early October, and the deputy secretary general of the AFC delivered a speech, he thanked the Qatar Football Association for extending a helping hand after the 2023 Asian Cup was abandoned, and did not name some member associations to "irresponsibly" give up continuing to host, making the AFC fully passive.
From this point of view, the national football team is frequently "taken care of" by the referee, and it is difficult not to link the abandonment of the right to host the Asian Cup. Therefore, in the face of Tajikistan, the weakest opponent in the group, the national football team lost the best chance to qualify from the group, if the next game can not fight Lebanon, then the final round against the host Qatar, what the national football team will face, I am afraid it is unimaginable.
