Live broadcast on August 8th according to the report of Beijing Youth Daily, the league management has communicated with many clubs on the dispute penalty this season, and will not protect the referee who caused the wrong judgment.
On the evening of August 4th, in the 20th round of the Chinese Super League, Qingdao manatee played at home against Chengdu Rongcheng in the second half to make up for the last moment, Rongcheng team forward Exxon scored a goal. However, when the visiting team began to celebrate the “equalizing the score”, Wang Xihong, the second assistant referee on duty, suddenly raised the flag. In fact, Xing Qi, the chief officer on duty, and the video referee Group all mistakenly thought that Wang Xihong raised the flag because of the suspected offside situation at the moment of scoring. However, through the intercom equipment, they learned that Wang Xihong raised the flag and thought that the Rongcheng team Palaos handball foul. Before Xing Qi made the final penalty, the VAR intervention procedure was started on the spot. In the case that VAR video information could not confirm the existence of “handball foul”, Xing Qi adopted Wang Xihong’s opinion.
It is understood that in response to the objection raised by Rongcheng club on this penalty, the referee management department of the event management conducted expert comments on this penalty after the game, and the results obtained were as follows, it is also “unable to prove the existence of handball foul”, and the penalty is misjudgment. Therefore, according to the procedure, I informed Rongcheng club of the review results and apologized for it. What deserves attention is that the video referee Group, with international referee Ma Ning as the main member, strictly implements the VAR technology intervention procedure in the process of this penalty, and there is no mistake.
In fact, this kind of communication is a normal working procedure of professional league management this season. When there is a dispute in the game, no matter whether the club proposes or not, the relevant penalty cases will be submitted to the referee committee for professional review, and the league management will also communicate with the club according to the review results.
It is reported that before this case, the league management had conducted similar communication with many league clubs at all levels including Shandong Taishan, Meizhou Hakka, Henan team, Suzhou Dongwu, Yanbian Longding and so on. As for the issue of judging the referee’s dispute, the league manager will not avoid it, nor will he guard against the referee who caused the wrong and missed judgment. Instead, he very much hopes to strengthen communication and mutual understanding with the club and work together to improve the relevant work, in order to optimize the law enforcement level of league referees.
