Chinese newspaper overreacts to red card of Vietnamese football star

Although the home team successfully paid the debt of losing to Vietnam in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese press still wants FIFA to severely punish Tien Linh for his unsightly actions during the match at Dalian Stadium on the evening of October 10.

Defender Tyias Browning got angry with Tien Linh after being fouled.

Talking about this, Sohu newspaper has an article with the title: "FIFA needs to give appropriate punishment to Nguyen Tien Linh".

In the article, the Chinese newspaper affirmed that the actions of the star born in 1997 were unacceptable and needed heavier punishments as a deterrent.

Specifically, in the 87th minute of the match between Vietnam and China, while rushing down to compete for the ball, Tien Linh used his elbow to hit defender Tyias Browning in the face.

Initially, referee Woo Chun Sing only gave a yellow card as a warning, but after checking VAR, he gave a direct red card to the Vietnamese striker.

“In the previous match between Olympic China and Qatar at the 19th ASIAD, center back Jiang Shenglong got into a scuffle with a Qatari player to protect his teammate, but the referee gave him a red card.

After that, AFC suspended Jiang Shenglong for 2 more matches. Therefore, in the match between China and Vietnam, Jiang Shenglong was not allowed to participate. Therefore, FIFA also needs to give appropriate punishment to Tien Linh", Sohu continued.

With a red card in the match against China, the striker of Binh Duong Club will not be able to play in the match against Korea on October 17.

However, he will still be able to play in the match against Uzbekistan on October 13 because this is a match that does not count for FIFA points.
