“What kind of excuse should I make this time?” The director of the ‘Middle East Judgment’ against Qatar in China…Average Warning 3.8

China (73rd in FIFA ranking) will play Qatar (58th in FIFA ranking) in the final Group A match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup at Khalifa International Stadium in Alaiyan, Qatar, at 0 a.m. on the 23rd (Korea time). China is second in the group with two draws (2,0 points, 0 losses), and Qatar is first in the group with two wins (6,4 points, 0 losses).

China tied Lebanon 0-0 in the second match. Chinese players’ skills were another problem, but Chinese media and fans were worried ahead of the match. The referee on the day was Korea’s Ko Hyung-jin. Also, both standby and VAR referees were composed of Korean referees.

There is a reason why Chinese media have been slow. In the face-off between Korea and Bahrain on the 15th, Chinese referee Marning took charge of the match and generously gave yellow cards to Korean players. On the day, a total of five Korean players including Park Yong-woo, Kim Min-jae, Lee Ki-je, Cho Kyu-sung and Son Heung-min were warned. Fans also expressed their fear of retaliation, saying, “Are you taking revenge?”

Contrary to Chinese concerns, referee Ko Hyung-jin spared no warning. He did not overuse cards like referee Marning did. On the contrary, he extremely saved cards. On the day, referee Ko took out only one yellow card. 토토사이트 추천

Of course, he saved his card even when there was a possibility of his exit. A dizzying situation occurred in the 14th minute of the first half of the day. While Lebanese defender Kamis was trying to reach out and kick out, Kamis’ stud hit Dai Wai-chun in the face. Dai Wai-chun collapsed.

However, referee Ko’s decision was offside. He declared offside fouls by China in the previous process. At the same time, VAR was activated for Kamis’ foul play. However, the VAR office did not consider the foul as a foul, and the situation changed.

The Chinese media were furious at this. “Dai Wychun was kicked in the face by the opponent, but the referee didn’t even give him a yellow card,” China’s Soho said. Fans even blamed the draw with Lebanon, saying it was because of the referee in Korea.

Attention is focusing on whether China’s refereeing will continue to blame China for the third match. The third match against Qatar was referee Abdullah Jamali of Kuwait, a Middle Eastern country like Qatar. Based on soccer statistics outlet “Sofa Score,” Jamali is a referee who takes out 0.12 red cards and 3.38 yellow cards on average per match. If China fails to produce the desired result in the match, attention is focusing on whether it will shoot an arrow of anger at the referee again this time.
