The “fighting” of the two Cangzhou Lions after the match that took place on the evening of December 15 has aroused the attention of both inside and outside football. Although the Cangzhou Lions Club publicly apologized for the first time and confirmed that the two players involved will be severely punished, they will face a suspension of at least 3 games and a fine of 30,000 yuan in accordance with the relevant penalties of the “Chinese Football Association Disciplinary Guidelines”. Additional penalties, which constitute irreparable losses for the club and its individuals. The occurrence of this incident actually sounded the alarm for other participating clubs, warning them that no matter what difficulties they face and what pressure they endure, they should effectively manage the emotions of players and all league practitioners. Let the already fragmented Chinese Super League finish this season.
After the match between the Cangzhou Lions and Shanghai Shenhua, the two players of the Cangzhou Lions, Sangol and Liao Chengjian, fought each other and jointly pushed the “infighting” incident to the Internet hot search list. Many people watched the excitement, but couldn’t understand their actions. After all, in this original competition with distinct strengths, the Cangzhou Lions tied the formidable veteran team Shenhua and created the first upset since the start of the second stage of the Super League.
From the content of the public statement made by the Cangzhou Lions Club, it is not difficult to see that the emotional loss of control between the two is due to heavy pressure. As for what kind of pressure? The answer may not be difficult to find from the fact that most Chinese Super League clubs are experiencing severe financial crisis. In addition, compared with the championship group, each team in the relegation group goes all out to “settle their lives”, and the pressure they endure may not be appreciated by the outside world. In addition, the league schedule has brought troubles to the clubs such as the performance of players in the new year. Players who have been in a closed working state for a long time will inevitably restrain their emotional outbursts.
As the “parents” of players, the club clearly understands players better than all parties. As the Cangzhou Lions Club’s official statement mentioned, “We understand that players lose control of their emotions instantly under the pressure of relegation.”
However, both physical conflicts and internal strife have crossed the “bottom line” of the professional football league’s code of conduct. Violations of rules and disciplines have caused extremely bad social impacts inside and outside the football, adding ugliness to the club, myself and the entire Super League. In this case, the two players involved must pay for their out-of-control actions.
The third paragraph of Article 53 of the 2021 version of the Chinese Football Association’s Disciplinary Guidelines clearly states: “Anyone who commits violent acts (elbow punching, boxing, kicking, etc.) shall be given at least suspension or prohibition from entering the bench or forbidden Entered the stadium (stadium) for 3 games and fined at least 30,000 yuan.” The schedule shows that the second stage of the Chinese Super League has a total of 8 rounds (the teams ranked first and second in the regular season will also participate in two rounds of the Super League respectively. Play-offs). This means that once the disciplinary facts of Liao Chengjian and Senghor are confirmed by the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association, they will miss at least half of the rounds of the regular season in the second phase. In the context of unprecedented intensive schedules, such non-combat attrition will undoubtedly have an adverse effect on the relegation competition of the Cangzhou Lions.
In the eyes of the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Confederation’s preparatory team, this incident actually gave the entire Chinese Super League a very bad behavior demonstration. In fact, since the start of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, regardless of the championship or relegation group, the teams have done quite well in maintaining the style and discipline of the match. Data shows that until the end of the second round of the relegation group, the teams performed more rationally in the game. For example, in the first round of the championship group, the Shandong Taishan team and the Hebei team only produced one yellow card. The two games with the largest number of yellow cards appeared in the relegation group. They were the last round of Dalian VS Henan Songshan Longmen, the same round of Wuhan VS Cangzhou Lions, and this round of Henan Songshan Longmen VS Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, 3 games. The cumulative number of yellow cards in the game is 5 respectively.
In this round of the Cangzhou Lions VS Shanghai Shenhua match, the two teams received two yellow cards, while the Cangzhou Lions won two red cards in a row due to their “infighting” time after the game. A series of facts also aroused the high vigilance of the Chinese Football Confederation’s preparatory team.
It is understood that the relevant person in charge of the preparation group of the Chinese Football Association contacted the Cangzhou Lions Club as soon as possible after the game. While learning about the incident and the club’s handling opinions, they also re-emphasized the importance of “strictly maintaining the style of the game”. sex. In fact, before and during the start of the Chinese Super League this season, the organizers, organizations and management of the tournament have asked clubs to pay attention to the emotional management of league practitioners, so that clubs can focus on playing well. And judging from the “infighting” incident that occurred in the Cangzhou Lions team, the maintenance of the match style still needs to be constantly focused.
