The player fainted on the court, but the referee did not stop the game. The head coach stood up for the player and was sent off by the referee's red card. After the game, he was also suspended. When the China League One Guizhou Zhucheng Athletics Head Coach Zhu Jiong was officially announced, not only Guizhou fans, but also opponent Chengdu Rongcheng fans were calling for justice for Zhu Jiong.

This game is the ninth round of the China League Two, and Guizhou Zhucheng Sports away match against Chengdu Rongcheng B team was held at Shuangliu Sports Center. In the 93rd minute of the game, Guizhou Zhucheng Athletics led 2-1, and both sides fought for the header in the penalty area. The Guizhou player was hit on the head and fell to the ground. At this time, Chengdu Rongcheng B team was eager to equalize the score and did not kick the ball out of bounds, but chose to continue attacking. The player who was hit by Guizhou team has not yet stood up and seems to have fainted, but the referee has not stopped the game. A few minutes later, an ambulance entered the field and pulled the fallen player away.

It is precisely because the referee did not express that Guizhou team coach Zhu Jiong was angry. Some fans also revealed that at the scene, fans on both sides were scolding the referee why they didn't stop. In the penalty decision announced by the China Football Federation, the original words about Zhu Jiong's behavior were said as follows: Zhu Jiong, an official of Guizhou Zhucheng Athletic Football Club, committed non-sports behavior on the game officials, and the referee showed a red card to punish him and ordered him to appear. In the end, the China Football Federation Discipline and Ethics Committee imposed a five-game ban on Zhu Jiong and fined 25,000 yuan in accordance with relevant regulations.

However, in this result, fans of both sides shouted for justice for Zhu Jiong, because the referee's performance was the fuse. When the Chengdu Rongcheng B team player fainted from a Guizhou player, the referee would forget it if he didn't call a foul. It is understandable that Chengdu did not take the initiative to play out of bounds. After all, the score was behind in the last moment, and no one wanted to miss the last opportunity to attack. But should the referee on duty stand up and stop the game? After all, he hit the head. However, the referee ignored the players who fell to the ground and went to the sidelines to argue with the coaches. In the end, it was the ambulance that the players on the field called. Isn't this scene too amateur?

As for Zhu Jiong, it is well known that he has a hot temper, but he is not the right person to do this. He really regards the Guizhou team as his own and the players as his own children, so he comes forward to ask for an explanation for the players. It is true that Zhu Jiong's non-sports behavior is a bit excessive, but he has already borne the consequences for his behavior. And the relevant training of referees should really be strengthened.
