Liaoning Shenyang city team leader slaps referee club: has apologized and will make internal rectification – Xinhua English.news.cn
Xinhua News Agency, Shenyang, July 23 (Reporter Zhang Yifei) In the 15th round of the Chinese League One match between Nanjing City and Liaoning Shenyang City at home on the 23rd, the visiting team leader Duan Xin was dissatisfied with the referee on duty and suddenly slapped the opponent after being shown a red card. But then the club’s official statement stated that Duan Xin and the management of the first team have sincerely apologized for their irrational behavior, and the club will carry out internal rectification of the problems existing in the team.
The incident occurred in stoppage time in the first half when Shenyang City trailed 0:1. Because Duan Xin was dissatisfied with the referee Chen Hao’s penalty, Chen Hao showed him a red card, and Duan Xin stretched out his hand and slapped him in the face during the process of showing the card. Seeing this, other personnel immediately separated the two to avoid further escalation of the conflict.
Shortly after slapping the referee, Duan Xin fainted with his head in his arms and was sent to the ambulance that drove into the venue. After the resumption of the game, players from both sides broke out in physical conflict again. Before the end of the first half, Jiang Feng of Shenyang City was also sent off with a red card. In the end, Shenyang City, which had 10 players, lost to Nanjing City 0:4.
At 23:03 on the same day, the Liaoning Shenyang City Football Club issued an announcement saying that the club leader Duan Xin had objections to the referee’s penalty and acted irrationally, which violated the disciplinary rules of the Chinese Football Association League. After the game, the club management had communicated with Duan Xin. “Duan Xin and the management staff of the first team realized the seriousness of the mistake, and immediately found the game supervisor and referee on duty, and sincerely apologized for their irrational behavior. After the first team returns to Shenyang from the away game, the club will carry out internal rectification of the team’s existing problems in accordance with the latest industry rectification requirements of the State Sports General Administration.”
In 2015, Kuka, then the former head coach of Shandong Luneng, was suspended for seven months for “participating in beating the first assistant referee in the player tunnel”.
