Jeju SK manager Kim Hak-beom criticized excessive sanctions on coaches' expression of competitive desire in the stadium.
Ahead of the away game in Gwangju on the 6th, head coach Kim said, "I usually put away water bottles around the bench," adding, "If I get emotional during the game, I can kick the water bottle." "Sometimes even if I'm drinking water, I can throw the water bottle away if I'm suddenly angry," he said, expressing his honest feelings at the scene full of competition.
Coach Kim pointed out that referees should respect leaders as well. On the application of the rules, veteran referees show flexibility depending on the situation, but the less experienced referees tend to make more rigid decisions.
Coach Lee Jung-hyo received a direct red card when he kicked a water bottle toward his bench in the technical area in the match against Daejeon on the 29th of last month. Although the regulation states that an action taken against an opposing coach, player or referee can be given a warning, criticism was raised that it was an excessive disciplinary action when he was kicked out after kicking a water bottle to his bench.
The technical area is an area marked in front of the bench outside the stadium, where coaches and coaches can direct the game and deliver tactics to players. Even on the international stage, it is customary that the director's emotional expression is allowed to a certain level within this area.
Major European leagues tend to take a more lenient approach to managers' expressions of emotions. Violent protests and gestures by coaches such as former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Diego Simeone, and Jose Mourinho are also regarded as "passionate expressions" and are often handled at the level of warning rather than sending off. It can be seen as a result of the referee's discretion, flexibility in interpreting regulations, and soccer and cultural factors. 메이저사이트
In contrast, the K-League is under criticism for strictly applying regulations to restrict coaches' expression of their emotions. In addition, Kim Yong-soo, vice chairman of the Korea Football Association's judging committee, amplified the controversy by saying in an interview with a media outlet that it is also a coach's ability to draw up tactics by identifying the propensity of referees. The judging committee further defined Lee's actions as " reckless actions," refuting that the direct red card measure is justified.
