On April 30, Beijing time, the 9th round of the Chinese Super League will start tonight, and the Chinese Football Association has just announced the selection schedule of this round of referees.
According to the referee selection schedule released by the Chinese Football Association, the focus of this round of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Beijing Guoan will be played by Wang Jing, the linesmen are Shi Xiang and Guan Changliang, and the VAR is Huang Yi. Wang Jing had previously presided over the fourth round of Qingdao Manatee's home match against Shandong Taishan, and since then he has not been the referee in four consecutive rounds.
Before the Beijing-Tianjin derby, the two teams were in diametrically opposite states. Beijing Guoan won two consecutive victories after beating Zhejiang and returned to the top five in the standings. Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have not won in the last three rounds and suffered two consecutive defeats, and have fallen to seventh place in the standings.
Both teams are currently suffering from injuries of varying degrees, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are out of foreign aid, and Beijing Guoan head coach confirmed at the pre-match press conference that Zhang Yuning will miss the game due to injury. Although the lineups of both sides are incomplete, the first Beijing-Tianjin derby of the new season is believed to be a wonderful game.
According to the referee schedule, Fu Ming, the referee who was in charge of the Shanghai derby in the last round, was absent from this round. In the last round of the game, Fu Ming's cancellation of Wang Haijian's killer goal in injury time sparked discussion, and Shenhua also appealed to the Football Association about the controversial penalty. As of press time, the Football Association has not announced the results of the review. According to the law of referee selection, the general referee will not play two rounds of games in a row, so Fu Ming's absence this time should be a normal "rotation rest", and it has nothing to do with the controversial punishment.
It is worth noting that Ma Ning continued not to be the referee in this round, only serving as the VAR of Qingdao Manatee and Shanghai Port, which is his second consecutive round as VAR, and the referee of this game is Wang Wei.
The referee arrangements for other games are: the match between Shandong Taishan and Nantong Zhiyun was whistled by Niu Minghui, the match between Zhejiang team and Henan team was whistled by Liang Songshang, the match between Meizhou Hakka and Qingdao West Coast was whistled by Xing Qi, the match between Changchun Yatai and Shenzhen Xinpeng City was whistled by Gao Peng, the match between Chengdu Rongcheng and Wuhan Three Towns was whistled by Xu Qiangqiang, and the match between Shanghai Shenhua and Cangzhou Lions was whistled by Shan Danao.
