recently, a decision of the chinese football association regarding var video assistant referee has attracted the attention of the media and chinese fans. considering that the china league one is about to enter the final critical moment, especially the suspense of promotion and relegation is particularly eye-catching, the style and discipline of the game and the fairness of the game have naturally become one of the key points of the event organizers. in order to minimize the occurrence of various controversial penalties, which will affect the final promotion and relegation situation, the chinese football association has decided that starting from the 21st round of the china league one, var video assistant referee technology will return to the china league one and appear in some focus matches.

in the 21st round of the chinese football league a, liaoning iron man played against dalian inbo at home. in the end, with goals from joao carlos and yoshihiro kunimoto, liaoning iron man defeated dalian inbo 2-1. in this liaoning derby, the var video assistant referee appeared in the game as scheduled. it is worth mentioning that the var video assistant referee did play a role in the three key ball penalties in this game.

in liaoning iron man's first goal, foreign aid joão carlos headed the ball and dalian yingbo goalkeeper sui weijie saved the ball inside the goal line. however, after reviewing the var video, the referee dai yige determined that the ball had crossed the goal line and liaoning iron man's goal was valid.

through the slow-motion replay, we can see very clearly that the referee was far away from the scene of the incident and it was difficult for him to make an accurate judgment in the first time. if there was no var video assistant referee, this goal would most likely be counted as invalid.

later, liaoning ironman's japanese foreign aid kunimoto yoshihiro took a free kick from the left side of the penalty area. the ball hit dalian yingbo's yan xiangchuang and bounced to the bottom line. liaoning ironman players complained that yan xiangchuang had handballed. finally, referee dai yi reviewed the var video replay and determined that yan xiangchuang had handballed and awarded a penalty kick. kunimoto yoshihiro took the penalty kick himself and scored, helping liaoning ironman lead dalian yingbo 2-1 again.

in the final moments of the game, liaoning iron man counterattacked, and kunimoto yoshihiro made a wonderful pass to assist carlos to score, but after reviewing the var video, the referee dai yi determined that kunimoto yoshihiro stopped the ball with his hand before passing it, so the goal was invalid. from the slow-motion replay, the japanese foreign aid kunimoto yoshihiro's handball action was very concealed, and it would be difficult to detect if it was not watched in slow motion.

judging from the effect of using var video assistant referees in this game, it is still very necessary to use var video assistant referees in the china league one, even more so than in the chinese super league, because the refereeing level in the china league one is generally low. various wrong and missed calls are endless, but the emergence of var video assistant referees can largely avoid these wrong and missed calls, especially in important matches for promotion and relegation. a wrong or missed call may very likely change the final fate of a team throughout the season.

although it is a good thing that the chinese football association has introduced var video assistant referees to the china league one, it has inevitably caused some controversy. the focus of the controversy is that the introduction of var video assistant referees to the china league one is not for all games, but will only be used in some key matches. so, how to determine what kind of games are considered key matches, this identification process is obviously more difficult than the referee's penalty.

for example, the matches between yunnan yukun and dalian yingbo, which are in the promotion zone, are obviously focus matches, and the matches between wuxi wugou and jiangxi lushan, which are in the relegation zone, are also focus matches. but are the matches between teams close to the promotion zone or relegation zone also considered focus matches? if the matches of these teams are also considered focus matches, at least guangzhou, which is ranked third, chongqing tongliang dragons, which is ranked fourth, and guangxi apple ha liao, which is ranked fifth. and foshan nanshi and qingdao red lions, which are ranked third and fourth from the bottom. in this way, the number of teams that need to use var video assistant referees will reach 9, and there are only 16 teams in the entire china league one.

as we all know, the use of var video assistant referees requires certain operating costs. if so many teams really need to use var in their games, whether the chinese football association is really willing to do so will be a big question mark. if the chinese football association is unwilling to bear so much and only uses var video assistant referees in the four teams in the promotion zone and relegation zone, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among fans of other teams. therefore, on this issue, the chinese football association must carefully consider and not let a good thing turn into a controversial bad thing.
