Man City 'crushed' Watford; Van Quyet deserved a red card for his tackle on Dinh Dong
(Baonghean.vn) - Man City led 5-0 after only 18 minutes, then played leisurely for the rest of the time and left the field with an 8-0 victory in round 6 of the Premier League on September 21; The referees considered striker Nguyen Van Quyet's move to be careless and caused injury due to excessive force.
Man City win big
Man City are in a crisis at the centre-back position, having to patch things up by pulling Fernandinho back to play alongside Otamendi - who is not in good form. Coach Guardiola, therefore, seems to have chosen the option of using attack to compensate for defense. And his students have executed that tactic incredibly well.
52 seconds after the opening whistle, when many spectators at the Etihad Stadium had not yet settled down, Man City opened the scoring. De Bruyne crossed the ball from the right into the penalty area, where David Silva was there at the right time to shoot from close range into the net of Ben Foster.

Man City attacked fiercely and were awarded a penalty in the sixth minute, after Foster fouled Ryad Mahrez. Aguero took the penalty and easily scored his eighth goal in the Premier League this season.
While Watford were still paralyzed by the two goals, Man City increased the score to 3-0. Mahrez won a free kick from the edge of the 16m50 area and personally took the kick. The ball hit Cleverley in the away team's wall, changing direction, leaving Foster helpless. The away team seemed to collapse after this goal, and Man City, thanks to that, easily scored two more goals, consecutively in the 12th and 18th minutes. In the second half, Man City continued to dominate, and scored three more goals.
Van Hau was praised
On September 19, the entire Heerenveen team had a day off, but Van Hau proactively asked the fitness coach to practice more with Alen Halilovic. Witnessing his new student practicing enthusiastically, Coach Jansen was excited: "I watched Van Hau's first practice session. He made a good impression on me," said Coach Jansen.
“After observing, I see that Van Hau has good ball-playing skills and handles the ball smoothly on his feet. Van Hau’s physical condition also seems good. The coaching staff will calculate Van Hau’s ability to play against Utrecht,” coach Jansen told the Leeuwarder Courant.

In the Heerenveen squad, Van Hau only has one competitor for the left-back position, Lucas Woudenberg. Since the beginning of the season, coach Jansen has always placed Woudenberg in the starting lineup, and the Dutch defender is maintaining stable performance. Leeuwarder Courant predicts that Woudenberg will continue to start against Utrecht, and Van Hau can be a reserve.
Van Quyet deserved a red card.
Former FIFA referee Dinh Van Dung shared with Zing.vn about the incident that is causing public opinion after Hanoi FC won the championship with a 1-0 victory on the field of Song Lam Nghe An FC. The situation happened between Van Quyet and Dinh Dong.
"Van Quyet deserved a red card, this incident cannot be said to be 50-50. Now, when two players rush into each other, regardless of the danger, why don't they punish anyone?", commented the referee who used to referee in V.League.

He analyzed further: "Both rushed into the ball at high speed, not afraid of danger. Here, Dinh Dong touched the ball and played the ball first. Van Quyet also wanted to play the ball but the opponent's feet were faster. The ball rolled away, causing Quyet's feet to not touch the ball but go straight into Dinh Dong's knee."
There are many situations in the world where a player carelessly commits a serious foul on an opponent, leading to a broken leg or unconsciousness. The player who committed the foul expressed remorse. However, the law is the law, there is no way around it, Mr. Dung explained further to clarify the situation.
Explaining why referee Vu Nguyen Vu penalized Dinh Dong and gave Hanoi a free kick, Mr. Dung said: "Dinh Dong's tackle was reckless, low foot, close to the grass, touching the ball but tackling like that could have been dangerous for the opponent. He committed the foul first, got a yellow card so Hanoi Club was awarded a free kick."
Based on this analysis, when the referee restarted the match, the SLNA defender made a mistake first, so the opponent was awarded a direct free kick. Dinh Dong should have been given a yellow card, and Van Quyet received a red card.
The key to this situation was that Dinh Dong had played the ball first, causing Van Quyet's foot to accidentally kick the opponent's knee with too much force. Referee Vu stood right at the spot of the foul, with a good viewing angle. He did not give any player a card, and gave the away team a free kick when the home team reacted strongly.
Consulting with the Head of the Vietnam Football Federation's Referee Committee - Duong Van Hien, he told Zing.vn: "If the main referee has a favorable perspective, plus strictness, he can give Van Quyet a red card for the "excessive use of force" error.
This incident took place in the 26th minute at Vinh Stadium in round 24 of V.League 2019. Hanoi won 1-0 and was crowned champion with 52 points ahead of 2 rounds. SLNA is temporarily in 4th place with 33 points.
