Anyang leader and player shaken the day… Lee Dong -jun, the judge, was more accurate than anyone

Judgment in football is often controversial. The referee is a human being, so there is always a mistake. This is especially true for the moment to make a serious decision. Causes are inevitable if they are humans. The protests of leaders, clubs, players, and fans may be right, but may be wrong. They may or may be wrong because they are human beings or humans.

On the 28th, Anyang coaches were warned in the FC Anyang-Gwangju FC.

45 minutes in the first half. Gwangju Choi Kyung -rok owned the ball in front of the Anyang bench. Kim Jung -hyun tackled immediately after Anyang Thomas pulled Choi Kyung -rok uniform. Lee Dong -joon, who declared a free kick of Gwangju, took the hand. It is a gesture that tells the holding fouls in the IFAB ‘Gyeonggi Rules’. Choi Kyung -rok protected the ball during Thomas Holding Foul, and soon lost his ball when Kim Jung -hyun tackle. This scene was viewed as a continuous play, so Thomas foul was applied retroactively. If the play was in progress after Thomas holding, Thomas Foul would not have been applied retroactively. I can understand enough, but why did Anyang coaches continue to ask the referee to see VAR?

It seems to be either.

First, the Anyang coach may not have been aware of the four situations that can be confirmed by VAR. VAR can be found in four ways: whether the goal, the penalty kick, the reason for the direct exit, the warning and exit are imposed on the wrong player. Thomas holding fouls are not four. It’s a bigger problem if Anyang coaches have been appealing, but they don’t know it. The lack of qualifications is that professional team leaders are not familiar with the basics of VAR.

The second explanation is more convincing. The referee declared Thomas Holding Foul, and Anyang coaches may have mistaken the referee to see Kim Jung -hyun’s tackle as a foul. Anyang coaches continued to ask for VAR, and it may have been misunderstood that the foul was declared for the tackle that was hard to see, not the holding foul that could be easily distinguished. If this is true, it means that Anyang coaches did not see the movement properly by declaring the holding fouls of the referee.

The referee gave Anyang Ju -hyun coach two yellow cards for 15 seconds. At first, excessive protests, and the second was probably the measure of VAR demand. IFAB ‘Gyeonggi Rules’ can give a warning (yellow card) for the repeated demand for VAR review. It is unfortunate that the part of the flexibility is unfortunate, but it is suitable for the rules that the referee picked up a yellow card.

Is the player excited when the leader was excited? The scene that can be seen was the end of the first half. In the process of fighting both teams, Anyang Mateus stepped on Gwangju Choi Kyung -rok Ogeum from behind. The referee gave a yellow card and reviewed the scene according to the request of the VAR judgment, canceled the warning and picked the red card. Mateus was accepted without a word. Matteus acts is a serious harmful risk that you can get red cards or even get further discipline. Some argue that Matteus has no choice but to foul because he did not whistle during the previous ball competition. Of course, the referee did not whistle in the competition several times ahead of this scene. Play was somewhat rough, but it was not a fire. Whether it’s right or wrong, it is a thorough referee and a referee’s areas. Even if the referee did not declare a foul when he had to declare a foul, it is not that the player can step on the opponent’s Ogeum from behind.

In the second half, Anyang coaches protested again. Anyang Kim Woon broke through the Gwangju penalty area and fell after receiving the tackle of Gwangju. Anyang coaches claimed to be a penalty kick, but the referee inflated the game. The tackle of the Cho Sung -kwon did not reach the ball or Kim Woon, and Kim Woon was not directly affected by the tackle. The referee laughed at Kim Woon and explained the situation. But Kim’s actions are close to Hollywood action, where you can get a card. If the referee was not convinced that it was an accurate tackle, he could declare a penalty kick at the ‘self -seeking’ level, check it with VAR and cancel the penalty kick. So the referee’s decision was a great decision that was surprising.

Both leaders, players, and fans can make mistakes. The referee is also a human being because it is human. But on this day, the referee was much more accurate than the leaders, players, and fans.
