On April 13, Beijing time, the 6th round of the Chinese Super League started today, and the Football Association officially announced the selection of referees for this round. In the two key battles, Li Haixin was in charge of Shanghai Shenhua again, and Ma Ning blew the game between Shanghai Port and Shandong Taishan at home. It is worth mentioning that this round of the Chinese Super League will usher in the first female referee.
In this round of the Chinese Super League, there are two direct dialogues between the championship teams, Shanghai Shenhua at home against Beijing Guoan, and Shanghai Port at home against Shandong Taishan. According to the referee selection table for the 6th round of the league released by the Football Association, Shenhua's home match with Guoan will be handled by Li Haixin.
It is worth mentioning that this is the third time that Li Haixin has been in charge of Shenhua this season. Previously, he had whistled for the Super Cup Shenhua and SIPG and the third round of the league Shenhua away to Taishan, and Shenhua eventually won both games.
Before this key match, Teixeira, Shenhua's core foreign player, was questioned by former head coach Wu Jingui. Wu Jingui directly questioned Teixeira in a live interview, saying that he did not work hard last season and was even suspected of playing match-fixing. After the interview, Wu Jingui also said that he was a temperamental person, and the questions that should be answered still had to be answered, otherwise everyone thought that Wu Jingui was easy to bully. Judging from this sentence, Wu Jingui's evaluation of Teixeira was not temporary, but intentional.
However, after the matter fermented overnight, neither Shenhua nor Teixeira has yet to respond to the matter. It can be seen that even if such accusations are very serious, the team and players are focused on this key battle with Guoan and do not want to be disturbed by the outside world.
Another key match, Shanghai Port's home match against Shandong Taishan, was played by Ma Ning. The referee of this match has some special features, and female referee Xie Lijun will serve as a linesman, and she has also become the first female referee in the history of the Chinese Super League to participate in law enforcement. In last year's Women's World Cup, Xie Lijun, as the only Chinese referee selected, made her World Cup debut in the first round of Group C of the group stage against Spain against Costa Rica.
