In the 12th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng will play Meizhou Hakka away. Yang Fan deliberately stepped on the opponent's ribs and was sent off with a red card in the second minute, getting a red card for the third consecutive season.
Just one minute into the game, Kosovic collapsed on the turf after a scrum and rolled in pain clutching his ribs. After being alerted by the video assistant referee, the referee looked back in slow motion. Judging from the slow motion, when scrambling for a header, Yang Fan stretched out his right foot and put a foot on Kosovic's left rib.
After watching the slow motion, the referee returned to the field to make a decision. Realizing that something was wrong, many Rongcheng players, including Zhou Dingyang, surrounded the referee to argue, but the referee did not hesitate to show Yang Fan a red card.
Seeing the referee show a red card, Yang Fan argued for a long time, and only left the court under the persuasion of Wei Shihao, Zhou Dingyang, and Lechett, and insulted the referee when he left the field.
In fact, Yang Fan's kicking action is very obvious, and there is an afterburner action after the jump, which is reasonable. The famous reporter Lu Mi commented, "Yang Fan's action is a severe crackdown, there is really nothing to say." The media person who sells cuteness said, "Yang Fan is a martial arts wizard who has been delayed by football." Some fans said, "This action is banned for more than 3 games and I don't have to run." ”
Lu Mi also revealed, "Yang Fan's straight red is a little slower than the fastest red card in the history of the Chinese Super League, and the current first place should be the 2016 Chongqing Lifan vs. Shanghai Port Luo Xin 1 and a half straight red down." In April 2016, Luo Xin left the field in the 104th second of the match against the harbor, setting a record for the fastest red dye in the Chinese Super League.
