InAsian CupIn the first round of the group stage, in the match between the national football team and Tajikistan, the referee caused a controversy over Zhu Chenjie's goal decision. Although Zhu Chenjie's goal was ruled offside according to the rules, the referee misused the rules in this controversial decision. The penalty not only sparked heated discussions after the game, but also raised questions about the impartiality of the referee.
In the 80th minute of the game,Xie PengfeiA corner kick was taken, and Zhu Chenjie headed the goal, however, the goal was judged offside by the referee and the penalty was invalidated. It can be seen from the slow-motion replay that Jiang Guangtai is indeed in an offside position, which can be punished in terms of rules. However, the key question is whether Jiang Guangtai is interfering with the opposing players. In slow motion, you can see that the two players are pulling each other, and the opposing player is still holding Jiang Guangtai with both hands. The famous journalist Liang Hongye pointed out in his analysis that Jiang Guangtai did not cause any interference to the opponent's defense, because the opposing player did not even jump or fight for the top, and it cannot be said that he affected the defense and contributed to the goal. As a result, the decision became a point of contention.
In further analysis, the famous commentaryZhan JunMention of dead snaps about rules. In his opinion, the penalty was justified according to the interpretation of the rules. But there are also problems with this way of applying the rules, as it does not fully take into account the details of the actual course of the game. Huang JianxiangIt is also said that no law enforcement tool can guarantee absolute fairnessChinese teamA goal is hacked and the opponent avoids a red card. In this case, the VAR (assistant referee) is used as a legal umbrella for the black whistle, which makes people feel helpless.
We need to look at the controversy caused by this decision from two perspectives. On the one hand, according to the interpretation of the rules, this penalty is reasonable. The rules explain in detail the definition of offside and the conditions for awarding penalties, and Jiang Guangtai is indeed in an offside position. Therefore, the referee has the right to invalidate the goal. On the other hand, the rules should also have a certain amount of flexibility to adapt to various situations in actual matches. Decisions made simply by the rules, without taking into account the specifics and circumstances of the game, can lead to some controversial decisions.
InFootballIn the game, the referee needs to apply the rules according to the actual situation, not only to meet the reasonableness of the rules, but also to consider the fairness of the game. This does not mean that the referee can change the rules at will or make a decision based on his own will, but that the decision should be made in a fair manner within the scope of the rules. Therefore, for this controversial decision, we need to discuss and think about the rationality and flexibility of the rules.
Referees play a vital role in the game, and their decisions directly affect the course and outcome of the game. Therefore, referees need to have professional knowledge and the ability to make accurate judgments to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the game. However, in this controversial decision, the referee's misuse of the rules led to a change in the outcome of the game, causing disappointment and doubts to the players and fans.
Although we cannot deny that referees are human beings and make mistakes, referees, as the guardians of the game, should be able to fully consider the actual situation and fairness of the game while strictly enforcing the rules. In this decision, it was clear that the referee's decision did not strike a balance between these two aspects, and the outcome of the game was affected.
To sum up, the controversial penalty decision in the match between the national football team and Tajikistan has sparked widespread discussion and questioning. Although the referee's judgment is reasonable from the perspective of rules, the emergence of controversial penalties also reflects the rigidity and lack of flexibility of the rules. As an important part of the game, the referee's decision-making needs to strike a balance between the reasonableness of the rules and the fairness of the game. It is believed that with the advancement of technology and the improvement of rules, there will be fewer and fewer controversial penalties, and the fairness and fairness of the game will be better guaranteed.
