At 20:00 on August 19th, the 14th round of the 2022 Chinese Super League (CSL) season will begin again, and the Hebei soccer team will step onto the battlefield of Mission Hills Stadium in Haikou to start a fierce battle with Changchun Yatai. As early as that morning, the Chinese Super League officials unveiled the referee lineup for the matchup.
On the list of referees, Tianjin referee Zhen Wei stood out and assumed the responsibility of refereeing this game. Zhen Wei, a new-generation referee, was awarded the title of "Golden Whistle" in the Central League. He was joined by assistant referees Tang Chao from Beijing, Liu Xing from Henan, Meimeti Jiang from Xinjiang, as well as video assistant referee Tang Shunqi from Chengdu and assistant video assistant referee Su Xiaofei from Shenyang, while Shanghai-born Tao Rancheng served as referee supervisor.
A closer look at the refereeing team shows that their strength is not to be underestimated. In addition to referee Zhen Wei, fourth official Mai Mai Tijiang and video assistant referee Tang Shunqi are both regulars in the Chinese Super League, and their inclusion in the team helps to ensure consistency in enforcement. It's worth mentioning that in the last round of refereeing the 2-2 match between Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Changchun Yatai, Mai Mai Tijiang's red cards for Yang Fan and Sun Jie at the end of the match also came into the spotlight.
This time, Changchun Yatai will face Hebei directly. The former is ranked 13th with 13 points after 12 games and has not won for 6 consecutive rounds, while Hebei is at the bottom of the table with only 3 points after 13 rounds. In such a situation, both sides' desire for victory is getting stronger and stronger, and a gunpowder-filled match will be staged soon, which will also put the referee team's ability to enforce the law to a severe test.
