Shanghai Shenhua have dominated the Chinese Super League this season, and their recent match against Shanghai SIPG has also attracted the attention of fans across the country. Although this game has ended, the Shanghai Shenhua team did not actively participate in the preparation for the next game, but was hurrying to collect materials and prepare to appeal to the Chinese Football Association. Shanghai Shenhua chose to do so because their goal in the final minute of the game was blown away. The reason is that Yu Hanchao, a player in this position at the time, had a problem, and the video referee team believed that Yu Hanchao's position affected Yan Junling's save at the last moment, so the goal was blown away.
Shenhua was obviously not convinced by such a decision, although they had already approached the referee and the video referee team after the game to ask for an explanation, hoping to get an explanation. The referee told Shenhua that it was normal for the goal to be blown away and that there were no missed or misjudged decisions, but they clearly did not agree with such claims. Therefore, they sued the referee team of the game to the Chinese Football Association, hoping that the Chinese Football Association could re-watch the video of the game and give Shenhua the most fair and reasonable penalty result. In the materials, Shenhua pointed out that when the players in the team were shooting with their feet, in fact, Yan Junling had already prepared to make a save, and Yu Hanchao's position did not have any impact on the saving action he made, or caused interference in the line of sight.
Compared with other games this season, this situation is normal, and it has also been judged valid. And why in this game, the goal of the Shenhua team was blown away, they did not understand very much, in the face of the inconsistent judgment made by the domestic referee team, they only hoped to be treated fairly. However, there is a situation that the Shenhua team cannot ignore, that is, as early as the time when his teammates were shooting, the linesman had already determined that Yu Han was in a better position. According to the existing rules, even if he does not participate in the attack, even if the team scores a goal because he is in an offside position, it is invalid.
What's more, if from the linesman's point of view, Yu Hanchao's appearance did interfere and affect the opposing goalkeeper in sight, which they can't deny. If you look at the above aspects, there is nothing wrong with the decision made by the referee of this match. Some fans have developed conspiracy theories, believing that the Chinese Football Association does not want Shenhua to win this game, which will have a certain impact on the championship of other teams. Of course, there is no basis for such a statement, and we can only wait and see what kind of explanation the Chinese Football Association gives.
