New season of Chinese Super League referee training: a major change in the penalty standard
As the new season of the Chinese Super League is about to begin, the referee committee of the Football Association held a high-profile training meeting. This conference is significant as it will shape the standard of penalties throughout the season and have a profound impact on clubs, players and fans. With the referees having been the subject of controversy over the past season and the standards on the international stage are constantly being updated, it will be interesting to see what kind of changes this training will bring.
In a Taishan home match against Harbour last season, Fellaini's goal was judged to have been fouled by VAR due to physical contact with Zhang Linpeng, which caused widespread controversy. However, at the training sessions for the new season, the referee committee made it clear that such physical contact should not be judged as a foul. While this correction is a bit slow, it is undoubtedly a fair justice for the team that was misjudged last season. The clarity of refereeing standards brings greater fairness to the game, prompting teams to focus more on the game itself rather than controversy over the referee.
Integrating with international football is the only way for the development of Chinese football, so the Football Association decided to introduce an ultra-long stoppage time mechanism to ensure that there is enough time for the game. Although the decision has sparked some controversy, especially in the possibility of more than 10 minutes of stoppage time in the game, the Football Association believes that it is necessary. It was noted that each stoppage would be recorded precisely to ensure the fairness of the stoppage. This move will add more suspense and excitement to the game, and also provide more opportunities for players to show their strength.
The authority of the referee is the key to maintaining the order of the game. As a result, the referee committee announced that it would crack down on verbal attacks on referees. Regardless of whether it is a player or a substitute, anyone who verbally attacks the referee will face a direct red card. This decision means that the authority of the referee will be more strictly maintained, and the players and coaches will have to be more restrained and respectful of the referee's decision. This is essential to elevate the professionalism and image of the league as a whole.
At the end of the training session, the Football Association reaffirmed its zero tolerance for violence by interpreting a controversial incident at the Asian Cup. Any form of violence will be severely punished, regardless of whether the player has committed a foul or not. The decision shows that the Football Association has learned the lessons of the past and hopes that the new season will not be too controversial. By establishing clear rules and standards, football matches will be more fair and orderly.
The standardized training of referees and the adjustment of penalty standards are an important step for the Chinese Super League to move towards a more fair and professional football field. Although there may be some resistance and controversy in the reform process, these changes will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the development of Chinese football. It is expected that in the new season, the professional level of the referees can be further improved, and the game can be more exciting and fair. Only in a fair and just playing environment can Chinese football move towards a more brilliant future.
Through this training meeting, the referee committee has clarified the direction of the refereeing work of the Chinese Super League in the new season, and has played a key role in ensuring the fairness and impartiality of the game. With the implementation of these new policies, it is believed that Chinese football will usher in new development opportunities and present more exciting events for the majority of fans.
