On June 19, the 7th round of the Chinese Super League ended last night, and finally Shanghai Port defeated Meizhou Hakka 2-1 away. It is worth mentioning that in this make-up game, the referee once again became the focus of attention on the field, and many penalties in the game caused huge controversy. One of the controversies is that the first goal of the Harbour team, before the goal, was suspected of handball, and the referee on duty Ren Tong communicated with VAR for a long time, and he did not go to VAR to identify, and finally determined that the goal was valid, which directly made the fans on the scene angry. Because this ball is really controversial through replay, the referee gives the fans the feeling that they don't pay attention to it.
So before Harbour's goal, was there any handball that took place? I watched the VAR in the game for a long time, which means that from all angles, I can't give an accurate answer. And the referee on duty simply acted as the shopkeeper and threw this mess to VAR to judge, so there was this "handball goal" case. Fans also have different opinions on whether there was a handball before this goal, and most fans think that this handball is very suspicious because the ball changed direction. A small number of fans believe that the ball touched the body to change direction, and the chaos just looked like handball.
In fact, whether it is VAR or fans, the reason why they can't accurately judge whether there is handball is mainly because the current video material is limited, and the angle of view is blocked, so there is controversy. At least from the perspective of live broadcasting, it is really difficult to see clearly. Judging from the details and angles taken by this camera, when the harbor player stopped the ball before the goal, the arm of the Meizhou Hakka player was at the waist of the harbor player away from the ball, and the hand of the harbor player did coincide with the trajectory of the ball at that time, and the handball was very suspicious.
Judging from the latest leaked details, the suspicion of handball before the goal of the harbor is very large, most likely because it is difficult to judge VAR for so long, and the referee is also empty, lacking responsibility and not daring to take the initiative to look at VAR, and throwing the decision on whether the goal is valid to VAR, so it has led to a huge controversy. After seeing this scene, it is no wonder that Meizhou fans are so angry, and they are unwilling to leave the stadium after the game, shouting "black whistle" in unison to express their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision. Because a controversial goal can seriously affect the mentality of the underdog, which in turn affects the outcome of the game. Therefore, don't underestimate the influence of the referee's blowing penalty on the game, it does have a relatively large impact, and see if the Meizhou team will appeal to the Football Association later.
