On the 15th, the Chinese portal ‘Sohu’ focused on the performance(?) of Chinese referee Manning, who oversaw the match, in a review article of the first match of Group E of the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup group stage between Korea and Bahrain. Referee Manning issued warnings to five of the 10 starting field players, including Korean captain Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, Park Yong-woo, Lee Ki-je, and Cho Kyu-sung. Two Bahrain players were shown yellow cards and a total of seven players received warnings, which is the most warnings in a single game in any Asian Cup match so far.

‘Sohu’ said, “The Korean players, who showed a lot of rough action against the Bahrain players in the first 30 minutes, received three yellow cards in a row from referee Manning,” and “Referee Manning continued to communicate smoothly with Asian superstar Son Heung-min after halftime. He wrote, “He has proven his high status in the Asian refereeing world.” “In the 4th minute of added time, we saw Tottenham star Son Heung-min showing signs of diving and took out a yellow card,” he said. “Referee Manning, the golden whistle of the Chinese Super League, challenged the Korean team in the Asian competition. Son Heung-min came to me twice and pleaded, but he said, “It didn’t go as planned,” he added. Korea won 3-1 thanks to Lee Kang-in’s multiple goals in the second half.
‘Sohu’ introduced the nickname of referee Manning, saying, “He is called ‘Card Master’ by Chinese Super League fans.” As for the background to this nickname, he explained, “It means that he plays cards often, dares to play cards, and is not afraid to use cards too often.”
‘Sohu’ predicted that referee Manning’s “selfless” ‘card master’ temperament would not only affect one game between Korea and Bahrain. The media said, “What fans are worried about is that the referee for the Chinese national team’s next game against Lebanon is Korean. If a Korean referee uses a card like referee Manning, wouldn’t a Chinese player be sent off? Many fans are worried that referee Manning is a Korean soccer player. “I am worried that the Korean referee may retaliate against us due to the fact that we insulted .” Commentator Sun Jihai responded to these concerns while broadcasting the Korea-Bahrain match, saying, “Nevertheless, we cannot violate sports ethics!”
