In the eighth round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, the referee once again became the focus, which may be in response to what I don't know which master said, "With the advancement of technology and the addition of video referees, sometimes the black whistle is more logical." This sentence does not have too deep meaning, it expresses the literal meaning. In this round of the game, Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua can be said to be difficult brothers!
Difficult brothers
First of all, in the match between the Zhejiang team and the Beijing Guoan team on April 26, the referee's determination to win the game for the Zhejiang team is too obvious, think about the two goals scored by Zhang Yuning and Cao Yongjing of Beijing Guoan, if they can score ten or eight goals, I am afraid there will be no such obvious misjudgment. At the end of the second half, Zhejiang's foreign player Leonardo fell to the ground after a physical confrontation with Yang Liyu in the Beijing Guoan penalty area. Referee Dai Yige didn't say anything, but Ma Ning, as a video referee, seemed to see something, which also led to Dai Yige's action of running to the sidelines to watch VAR, and the Zhejiang team won a very timely penalty.
This may be the mysterious power of VAR, in fact, through the video replay, everyone can see that Zhejiang team Leonardo pushed Yang Liyu before he fell to the ground in the Beijing Guoan penalty area. If you look at this action, many people think that the Beijing Guoan team won the penalty. After all, this penalty was blown by Dai Yige, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is definitely Ma Ning's instructions, if Ma Ning doesn't think it's a penalty, Dai Yige doesn't need to go to VAR. Of course, Dai Yige is not a simple person, at the end of the game, Zhang Xizhe, Ngadeu and Traore all received yellow cards for delaying the game. It's kind of obvious.
Let's talk about the Shanghai derby enforced by Fu Ming, this game is definitely the most interesting game in the eight games of the Chinese Super League in this round, but I didn't expect everyone to accept the draw of the game after the game, and Fu Ming was the target of verbal criticism. In fact, it has to be said that both teams are strong contenders for the Chinese Super League championship this season, and of course, as teams in the same city, the competition between the two teams is also extremely fierce. However, in the first half, the two teams attacked and defended each other but failed to score, and the first goal also occurred in the 59th minute of the game, and then Shanghai Shenhua also had a hands-off attitude, especially in the final stage of the game.
In the 90th minute of the game, Shanghai Shenhua's Teixeira scored a goal, which also gave Shanghai Shenhua, as the leader of the Chinese Super League, the hope of winning, this goal only 4 minutes later, substitute Wang Haijian played the role of a surprise soldier, helping the team to reverse the score. But it was this goal that also caused too much controversy about Fu Ming after the game. Referee Fu Ming thought that Yu Hanchao, who was in an offside position, had interfered with the defenders of Shanghai Port. In fact, through the broadcast screen, it is not difficult for us to see that Han Chao deliberately dodged the ball, in fact, the broadcast position behind the goal is also very obvious, and the position where Yu Hanchao is standing does not affect Yan Junling or Xu Xin, the 16th closest to him, how can this be invalid? Besides, if the goal is invalid, you will cancel Wang Haijian's yellow card.
The reason for the regression of Chinese football may also be directly related to the referee. Let's blow it and cherish it, don't wait for one day when you can't blow the whistle, and then sing "Tears in the Iron Window", it will be worth the loss.
