Recently, the Chinese Football Association held a meeting to conduct a satisfaction survey on the work of referees. What was embarrassing was that no one raised their hands to praise them, and the moderator of the meeting had to laugh at himself and let everyone put their hands down. This fully reflects the dissatisfaction with referees in China. Some of the referees, represented by Ma Ning, made frequent mistakes in the game, which was annoying. He was punished in the AFC Champions League semi-finals against Jeonbuk Hyundai. When Ronaldo faked a fall and wanted to cheat a penalty, Ma Ning really got the trick, but this time he insisted on his verdict very strongly, even though both players and parties were explaining that it was not a foul. It wasn't until he watched the replay that he reluctantly changed his sentence. Ma Ning's unruly attitude also disgusted many fans, and domestic fans also demanded that such bad coins be eliminated.
In the second leg of the semifinals of the 2022 AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Football Club lost 0-1 to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor and missed the final. It is worth noting that the performance of referee Ma Ning in this game once again became the focus.
In a transition between attack and defense, Ronaldo tried to create a penalty outside the penalty area, and Manin decisively blew for a penalty. It was a clear misdecision, and players from both sides quickly surrounded Manin to explain, and Ronaldo himself admitted that it was not a foul. But Ma Ning refused to accept it very strongly, insisting that the replay be confirmed.
After a replay, Ma Ning had to change the decision and cancel the penalty. When he walked past the coach's seat of the Guangzhou team, he was severely questioned by the coaching staff of the Guangzhou team. Ma Ning's stubborn style of not listening to explanations has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the majority of fans.
After the incident, the Chinese Football Association held a regular meeting to conduct a satisfaction survey on the referee's work. At the meeting, a show of hands was raised, allowing the participants to vote on the satisfaction of the referee work over the past year. Embarrassingly, no one at the scene raised their hands, and not a single vote was in favor. The host had to humorously ask everyone to "please put your hands down".
This fully reflects the general dissatisfaction with the level of referee law enforcement in China. Ma Ning is just one of the examples, before Deng Zihui, Liang Jian and other referees also frequently made mistakes and inaccurate penalties, but their attitude was stubborn, causing an uproar. Misjudgments and omissions in their games are not uncommon, which seriously affects the fairness of the Chinese Super League.
Take Ma Ning as an example, his unruly personality and attitude to work often cause controversy. In the 2022 season, in the 10 Chinese Super League games that Ma Ning enforced, there were many major misjudgments. In April, when Evergrande played against the Yangtze River, a goal that was obviously offside was misjudged and valid, which directly affected the outcome of the game. Ma Ning did not apologize afterwards, but took an attitude of ignoring it, which made fans extremely dissatisfied.
In the same month, he also made a number of obvious misjudgments in the match between Suning and Shanghai Shenhua. One of the most controversial was the dismissal of the head coach of the Shanghai team, which was a completely ridiculous and unprovoked punishment. Not only did Ma Ning not realize his mistake, but refused to respond to any questions after the match.
In August, Ma Ning continued to make mistakes in the game between Guangzhou and Hangzhou Greentown. He missed an obvious handball, causing Hangzhou to concede the ball and was abused by Guangzhou fans.
It can be seen that the part of the bad money referees represented by Ma Ning not only has an uneven level of law enforcement, but the most unbearable thing is their unruly and self-respecting attitude. is arrogant and domineering on the field, and refuses to admit mistakes and accept doubts after the game. This has seriously affected the development of Chinese football and damaged the interest of the majority of fans.
At present, Chinese football urgently needs to deepen the reform of the referee system, establish a sound accountability and punishment mechanism, and eliminate such bad money referees. We also call on relevant departments to introduce measures as soon as possible to strengthen referee training and management to ensure the fairness and impartiality of Chinese football.
