After the People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency commented on the Lu Jing war, he finally said that the referee problem needed to be solved.
The People's Daily reported that Beijing Guoan and Shandong Luneng were the focus of the battle, because the "excellent" performance of the referees concealed the efforts of the players on both sides. Beijing Guoan's controversial penalty in the second half also became a turning point in this game. At present, the Super League needs the professional ability of referees, which is the key to solve the fundamental problems of the league.
After seeing these reports, many fans commented that the referee Shen made people feel that he blew the game with a task. Luneng's penalty was obvious in the first half. He hesitated, and after watching VAR repeatedly, he finally made a penalty. However, Beijing Guoan's penalty was so decisive that it did not delay at all. How can such a punishment be convincing?
Following the reports of two official media in China, Chen Xiaoyuan, president of China Football Association, also expressed his position in an interview with the media. Because every game under the new competition system will directly affect the final result, China Football Association needs to pay more attention to the fairness of every game. The controversial issue of referee's penalty in some competitions has exposed the lack of professional level of referee's law enforcement, which is also something we need to solve.
Many fans commented that the relevant departments of the Football Association can recognize the shortcomings in this respect in time, and this courage to admit mistakes is still commendable. However, the most important thing is to improve the law enforcement level of referees. Referee is the key to the sustained and healthy development of Chinese Super League. Strengthen the training of referees' professional ability and unify the penalty standards. Show the fans a fair, just and open next Super League game.
