To a certain extent, these three referees are also the protagonists of this game - this is the first game they have returned to China to cooperate in refereeing after being selected into the 2022 Qatar World Cup referee list. Shi Xiang, who only ended his entry quarantine on the 15th of this month, didn't even have time to go home, so he rushed over to overcome difficulties.

The arrival of three international referees has an impact far beyond the game itself. At the exchange meeting with all players and coaches in the Changchun Division on the 16th, the three referees shared their professional experiences in detail. "Not all of the players here will become professional players. Maybe some of you will eventually choose to become a football referee. I hope our story can inspire you." Ma Ning said.
When faced with tough questions from young players such as "How to deal with being scolded" and "Which game was the worst?", Ma Ning did not shy away from it: "I can't control what others say, I can only do the right thing according to the rules." Things. Although players and referees have different perspectives, they will all face controversy and must learn to believe in their own value. "
" Because I haven't retired yet. I can’t decide which game is the worst. I can only say that when I look at my game videos from 15 years ago, I really feel that this referee has no future.” Ma Ning said with a smile, “Why we can go to the World Cup in the end starts with love. The key to success is persistence."
The business seminar between the three referees and the competition area referees on the evening of 16th was originally planned to end at 8:30, but ended at almost 10 o'clock at night. From physical training methods to techniques for offside calls, to methods of coping with pressure and experience in dealing with injuries, the young referees’ questions were answered one after another.
"The rules of the game are a very thin book. If you just memorize the rules, you will be able to memorize them quickly. More importantly, you must understand what kind of information the rules convey. Why did FIFA change the rules from A to B, this is the direction they hope to improve football, which may include factors such as encouraging offense and protecting the health of players. More importantly, learning the spirit of the rules can better read the game," Cao Yi told the young referees.
html After watching the young referees call the game on the morning of 17th, three international referees gave detailed suggestions to the juniors from multiple angles. Cao Yi took out the specially taken pictures of the game and analyzed: "For the corner kick on this side, if the free throw player takes the free throw with his left foot, it may go directly out of bounds. The assistant referee must first check whether it goes out of bounds. But he took the free throw with his right foot, so we have to judge It is almost impossible to go out of bounds directly, so you can move up two steps and focus more on the offside position. These two steps can bring better position and accuracy to the assistant referee."On the 17th, three international referees had business exchanges with young referees.
"We have also grown up from playing youth games. It can be said that the level of young referees now is far higher than ours back then. I hope our suggestions can help them do the best. better. "Ma Ning said, "This form is very good. From our own point of view, the technical and tactical level of youth competition is not that mature yet, which also puts forward higher requirements for our emergency response and position selection. We also have areas to summarize and improve. I hope to be more involved in youth football activities in the future. "
