After Shandong Taishan was defeated by Tianjin Jinmen Tiger away from home, Choi Kang-hee, the head coach, complained the referees (2/2): "Take this match for example — I believe many of the referee's decisions deserve to be called into question. Some of our players felt they were being targeted, and this kind of mindset undoubtedly affected their performance on the pitch. These issues must be taken seriously and addressed through our future training and matches."
