In the 6th round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan team lost to Shanghai Port team away from home, with a score of 3-4. In this game, Ma Ning not only punished Cui Kangxi, but also suspected of missing a penalty for the Taishan team, and VAR refused to play it back, and the live broadcast did not give a slow-motion replay, as if the Taishan team was plotted.
This contest is a duel between the champions and runners-up of the Chinese Super League last season, and the Football Association arranged for Ma Ning to enforce the law, which seems to be no problem, after all, Ma Ning is the most well-known referee in the Chinese Super League and often appears in the World Series. However, Ma Ning's law enforcement performance actually betrayed the trust of the Football Association.
Judging from the situation in the first half of the game, under the enforcement of Ma Ning, the game was very smooth, and Shanghai Port and Shandong Taishan team both played offensive football, scoring a total of 5 goals, which made the fans addicted. However, in the second half of the game, Ma Ning's law enforcement was biased, and even some biased towards the Shanghai Port team, which made Cui Kangxi anxious. However, for the coach of the Taishan team, Ma Ning did not relent, and directly took out the red card and punished Cui Kangxi.
After being sent off by Ma Ning, Cui Kangxi did not leave the field for a long time, which shows that the coach of the Shandong Taishan team is aggrieved, why is he aggrieved? Let's take a look at Ma Ning's performance in a short period of time:
In the 55th minute of the game, Liao Lisheng shot from a distance near the penalty area, and the ball was suspected of hitting the arm of the harbor defender (with a high probability), and Liao Lisheng immediately signaled that he was suspected of a penalty. However, after observing the process up close, Ma Ning chose to ignore it and motioned for the match to continue.
What is very strange is that VAR did not intervene in this controversial penalty, and the live broadcast footage did not choose to play back, the audience was confused, but the Taishan team could only suffer a dumb loss. Such a scene is actually very rare, and the VAR referee could have reminded Ma Ning, but he didn't. The footage of the live broadcast also chose to ignore it, as if there was a ghost, which was unconvincing.
Subsequently, the Taishan team players were violated and fell to the ground, Ma Ning ignored it and chose to let Shanghai Port attack, and the Taishan team almost lost the ball, so Cui Kangxi was sent off in anger. The very double standard is that next, the Taishan team attacked, Jiang Guangtai fell to the ground in the penalty area, and Ma Ning chose to stop the game, for fear of affecting Jiang Guangtai's health, so the question is, the Taishan team players fell to the ground, are they not afraid of being injured by the ball?
