Red Card Storm: A Game of Thrones in the Premier League
The picture comes from the Internet
Under the night sky in London, the Emirates Stadium is brightly lit and full of people, the focus of the fifth round of the Premier League, Arsenal hosts Manchester City, a Mars collides with the earth, this should belong to the feast of football, but because of two red cards, it has evolved into a fierce debate about the power of referees, the fate of players and social justice
At the end of the first half, the score was 1-1, the two sides were tense, the situation was anxious, at this time, Arsenal defender Tomiyasu Kenhiro was injured and fell to the ground, the game was forced to be interrupted, just when the Manchester City players were about to kick the ball out of bounds and signal fair play, the accident happened, Arsenal midfielder Trossard did not kick the ball out of the sideline after receiving a pass from his teammates, but tried to break through with the ball, but was cut off by Manchester City players, perhaps in a hurry, or a mistake in judgment, Trossard pulled down the Manchester City player in the process of returning to the defense, received the second yellow card of the game, two yellows turned into one red and was sent off
The sudden red card, like throwing a boulder on the calm lake, instantly stirred up a thousand waves, the Emirates Stadium immediately booed the sky, Arsenal fans were furious, and accused the referee Oliver's punishment too harshly, and the Arsenal coach Arteta on the sidelines couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, rushed to the sidelines, roared loudly at the fourth official, and questioned the referee's penalty scale
This was just the beginning of a storm of red cards, as in the second half, Manchester City's Doku was awarded a foul for kicking the ball away on a kick-off, a scene similar to the situation before Trossard was sent off in the first half, but referee Oliver did not show Doku a yellow card
"Double standard! This is a naked double standard! Arteta was furious in his post-match press conference, "There were two very similar incidents in the game, but they got completely different results, which forced you to play a game that no one wanted to see'
The picture comes from the Internet
Arteta's remarks undoubtedly pushed the red card controversy to the forefront of public opinion, and for a while, supporters and opponents argued endlessly
Arteta's supporters argue that the referee's decision is unfair to Arsenal on different scales, pointing out that Trossard and Doku behaved in the same way, but the final result was completely different, which is clearly a "differential treatment" for Arsenal, and even worse, pointed the finger at the Premier League refereeing system, believing that there is a "shady" and "conspiracy"
Opposition to Arteta has been equally loud, with Manchester United legend Roy · Keane publicly criticising Arteta's comments as "lacking grace"
"Every week, the coaches come out and say the penalty is not good for them," Keane lashed out mercilessly on Sky Sports, "just come out and accept it!" Deep down he's going to be happy with the one point, Arsenal's manager, be a little more personable."
Keane believes Arteta should focus on his own performances rather than complaining about the referee, and he even advised Arteta to "swallow the bitter fruit and then look forward and show grace"
The picture comes from the Internet
Far from being a simple football controversy, this red card storm is more like a mirror, reflecting people's desire and pursuit of fairness and justice in the football world and even the whole society
Referees, as the enforcers of football games, their penalties often determine the trend of the game, and even affect the fate of players and coaches, referees are also people, people will make mistakes, will be affected by subjective factors, how to ensure the fairness and justice of the game as much as possible to reduce misjudgment, is the football world has been trying to explore the subject
The introduction of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) technology is regarded as a "panacea" for resolving referee disputes, VAR is not a panacea, it can only be used as an auxiliary means for referees to award penalties, and the final decision is still in the hands of the referee
Going back to the game itself, should Trossard's red card be shown? Did Doku deserve the same penalty as Trossard? There may never be a standard answer to these questions, but what is certain is that this storm of red cards will become a classic case in the history of the Premier League, triggering deeper thinking about the rules of football, the power of referees and social justice
When the hustle and bustle cleared, the lights dimmed and the Emirates Stadium returned to calm, leaving people with more questions to ponder than the outcome of the game
We look forward to the future football world, where the referee's decision can be more just, the fate of the players can be in their own hands, and fairness and justice can become the eternal theme of the game
