html July 6 is an "unforgettable" day for fans of the Chinese Super League Dalian team. On the same day, Chinese Football Association announced that the Dalian team did not use U23 players in accordance with league regulations in the second round of the game, and was eventually sentenced to "abstention" and lost 0:3. In that game, the Dalian team defeated the Guangzhou City team 2:0. This reversal of the penalty caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.This violation of the U23 players of the Dalian team occurred in the second round of the Chinese Super League on June 8. From the 67th to the 69th minute of the game, the Dalian team had no U23 players on the field due to substitutions. This situation violates the Chinese Football Association's regulations on the use of U23 players, that is, each team must have at least one U23 player on the field in every game. After the game, the Guangzhou City team filed a complaint with the Chinese Football Association, requesting that the Dalian team be sentenced to "abstain". To this end, the Dalian team also wrote to the Chinese Football Association twice, mentioning the exemption issues of the team's U23 international player Shan Huanhuan, the mistakes of the referee team on duty, etc., and specifically cited the Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich and Frei Regarding the 12-man incident in the Fort Worth game, Bayern had 12 players on the field at one time, but the team was not punished for it, and the Dalian team also hopes not to take responsibility for this.

A month later, the Chinese Football Association still supported the Guangzhou City team’s appeal. Talking about the incident itself, this time, the Chinese Football Association made a penalty in full compliance with the rules. They also responded to the two reasons raised by the Dalian team: Although the U23 international was recruited by the national team or injured, he was in the same team. The club does not need to send U23 players anymore, but before this game, Shan Huanhuan has completed treatment and been recalled by the club, and no longer has the right to exemption; regarding the referee's law enforcement errors, the Chinese Football Association specially retrieved the live recording of the game , the recording shows that the fourth official has confirmed the substitution object and time with the Dalian team leader, and has completely implemented the substitution procedure.
In fact, this is not the first time that a team has been fined for U23 players' usage violations. In the Football Association Cup qualifying match on August 20, 2021, during the match between Nantong Zhiyun team and Heilongjiang Bingcheng team, Heilongjiang Bingcheng team made a similar mistake to the Dalian people-a substitution caused a team to appear on the field. There were no U23 players for 2 minutes, so the Heilongjiang Ice City team was sentenced to a loss, changing from a 6:0 win to a 0:3 loss. It is worth mentioning that the head coach of the Nantong Zhiyun team is exactly the current head coach of the Dalian team, Xie Hui.
As early as after that game, someone suggested that although the Heilongjiang Ice City team violated the rules, the referee team on duty should bear the responsibility for "oversight". However, it may be that the influence of the game is limited, and this incident did not cause more trouble. Widespread concern. Nearly a year later, a similar incident has occurred again. This really requires the Chinese Football Association to make up for the situation. At least it will introduce relevant refereeing regulations for the appearance of U23 players and make up for this link in the system as soon as possible instead of waiting. After a mistake occurs, hold the offending team accountable. The image of the Chinese Super League needs to be maintained by all parties, and it cannot be reduced to a joke due to repeated mistakes like this.
