On August 27, Beijing time, the Chinese Football Association issued a fine again. Zhang Yuning, an international player who plays for Beijing Guoan, was suspended for 3 games and fined 30,000 yuan for elbowing his opponent in the face without the ball. And Zhang Yuning himself does not approve of this. He posted on his personal social media: He has given up arguing about the red card, knowing that even a misjudgment cannot be revoked. But being punished and being found to be violent is a stain on me and hard to accept.
Zhang Yuning also made 3 clarifications: first, 1: At that time, the ball was developing on the right side, I was ready to grab a point in the middle, the opponent blocked me by hugging me, I held up my forearm to support the opponent to create space for myself without being restricted, the direction of action was diagonally downward, not exceeding the shoulder (push), after the opponent's center of gravity was lowered at the moment of contact, the neck collided with my forearm, and then fell to the ground. For the next 2-3 minutes, my opponent held my neck and the announcement determined that I had deliberately elbowed my opponent in the face and acted violently.
2: VAR only gave me a far shot on my back, which caused a misalignment, my elbow didn't touch the opponent from start to finish, the so-called elbow was not necessary at all, and there was no right side of the court, otherwise it would have been clear. And my immediate reaction after the opponent fell to the ground was to raise my hands, and the referee also said that it was not enough to foul the referee as soon as he came.
3: Sun Zhengao was my teammate in Greentown, he was a senior brother when he was in the football school, I have known him for many years, and I have no motive to deliberately hurt or violence.
Zhang Yuning was also very aggrieved and said: As a player, he has experienced a lot of injuries, and he has also played a lot of international games, and he has never recklessly used excessive force, let alone violence: "I am a player who would rather get injured himself than an opponent who would be injured because of me." I cherish my career and I have always wanted to play seriously and win games for the national team and the club legally and compliantly. ”
At present, Zhang Yuning, who has been selected for the latest list of the national football team, is preparing for the round of 18 matches against Japan and Saudi Arabia with the national team in Dalian. I hope that this additional punishment by the Football Association will not affect his performance. What is quite a headache is that because he was punished by the Football Association, Zhang Yuning will have no ball to play in September, and he will not be able to return until late October, which may have a big impact on his state in the next 18 rounds.
