The focus of the Chinese Super League “red” international Zheng Zheng Xu Xin is likely to be punished by the Football Association
In the just-concluded first round of the Chinese Super League season, the coaching of local coaches, the scoring data of local players and the stable law enforcement performance of local referees are gratifying. However, the issue of 4 red cards still throws out the topic of “how to master the latest penalty rules and maintain the game discipline” early. A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned that the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association conducted a comprehensive review of the disciplinary cases in the first round of the Chinese Super League on the morning of the 6th. Judging from the current situation, it will be a high probability event that Zheng Zheng and Xu Xin, two “red-leader” internationals, will be additionally punished.
The first round of the Chinese Super League in the new season ended on the evening of June 5. A total of 23 goals were scored in 9 games, of which local players scored 12 goals. This data is undoubtedly an encouragement to the majority of local players.
However, the accumulative 4 red cards in the first round (including Hebei Cangzhou Lions player Guo Hao accumulatively changed from 2 yellows to 1 red) attracted alternative attention from the outside world and some concern from the event organizers. In fact, after Zheng Zheng, the international player of the Taishan team in the opening match on the evening of June 3, received the first red card of the Chinese Super League in the new season, the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation, which is the organizer of the event, has carried out relevant and further maintenance in each division based on this matter. A verbal reminder of Psiphon’s work.
However, it is a pity that on the afternoon of the 4th, Haigang international Xu Xin won the league’s “second red” in the new season because he stepped on the opponent’s player Hu Jinghang during the scrimmage. After the game, there were also pictures on the Internet of the broken glass of the door of the player passage of the Dalian Jinzhou Stadium, the venue for the Haigang VS Changjiang team. In this regard, there are rumors that this move may be done by Xu Xin. But as of noon on June 6, there was no official channel to confirm it.
No matter who broke the glass, the event organizer and the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association have launched an investigation into the incident based on relevant information. It is inevitable that violators will be held accountable and punished.
Affected by the fact that the first round of the league didn’t end until the evening of the 5th, the Chinese Football Association Disciplinary Committee’s review and handling of cases of disciplinary violations or suspected disciplinary violations in the first round of the Chinese Super League in the new season was held on the morning of the 6th.
Since Zheng Zheng and Xu Xin are the main players of the national football team, the qualitative results surrounding their “straight red” actions are the focus of attention from the outside world. It is understood that judging from the actions of the two international referees Zhang Lei and Tang Shunqi, who directly showed red cards to send off the two, at least in the referee’s view, the fouls of the two were not “reckless fouls” in the general sense. However, the nature of the actions of the two is “serious foul” or “violent behavior”, and the Disciplinary Committee needs to make judgments based on the reports of the referees on duty, competition supervisors, referee supervision and other competition officials and relevant image materials. For the punishment standards for serious fouls and violent acts, the different paragraphs of Article 53 of the 2022 edition of the “Chinese Football Association Disciplinary Guidelines” have been clearly defined. Judging from the situation reflected by all parties, it is a high probability event that the two of them were additionally punished.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Chengdong of the Guoan team brought down the Cangzhou Lions Oscar “leading the red” with obvious tactical color, so he is likely to be suspended for one game naturally. Guo Hao has accumulated two yellow cards for rude fouls, and it is unlikely that he will be punished additionally.
It is worth mentioning that, except for Zhang Chengdong’s red card, the red cards of the other three players have obvious meanings of infringing on the opponent’s player’s body. Whether the action is intentional or subconscious, it may cause bodily harm to the player who is violated, even great bodily harm. Therefore, the organizers of the next event will require each team to further “improve the learning of the rules and maintain the game style and discipline” through online means, and at the same time urge each club to strengthen the ideological education of their players and other members. A relevant person from the event organizer told the Beiqing Daily reporter on the 6th: “(For serious violations of discipline on the field), we will impose stricter and stricter penalties, and will also strengthen education management.”
