The Asian Cup craze has swept again, but this time, not only because of the contest on the pitch, but also because of the brilliance of our own people on the "battlefield". Speaking of the unexpected defeat of the Korean team and the Japanese team, I believe that many fans and friends are as surprised and sorry as I am. But as a Chinese fan, seeing China's golden whistle Ma Ning enforcing the law in such a tournament, my inner pride arises spontaneously.
First of all, we have to talk about the exit of the Korean team, which was really unexpected. As one of the favorites to win the championship, the South Korean team finally lost 0-2 to the big dark horse Jordan team in the semifinals, which makes people sigh. The 64-year dream of winning the Asian Cup was once again ruthlessly postponed. However, when the dust settles on the game, we, as fans, feel more about the impermanence of the game and the charm of football.
And what makes people shine is our referee Ma Ning. In this game full of accidents and excitement, he participated in the game enforcement as the fourth **, becoming a Chinese element in another sense. Ma Ning's performance is not only the completion of the duties of a referee, but also the embodiment of the presence of Chinese football on the international stage.
When it comes to Ma Ning, I have to say about his performance in this Asian Cup. In the previous match between the Japanese team and the Iranian team, it was Ma Ning's accurate penalty that made the Japanese team eliminated. At such a critical moment, being able to make a fair and accurate verdict shows Ma Ning's strength as a golden whistle and FIFA's recognition of him.
The South Korean team's exit also means that the Asian Cup final will be a contest between West Asian teams. In this context, Ma Ning has undoubtedly become the most suitable referee to enforce this game. This is not only an affirmation of his personal ability, but also a recognition of the overall level of Chinese referees.
For us Chinese fans, although the national football team was out early and could not see their own team running on the field, the pride and joy in our hearts when we saw Chinese referees like Ma Ning shining on a big stage like the Asian Cup are difficult to express in words. This is not only a referee's victory, but also a sign of the continuous improvement of Chinese football.
In the days to come, we expect Chinese football to make greater progress at all levels, not only players, but also referees like Ma Ning to shine on the world football stage. Let's cheer for them and cheer for Chinese football!
