"Umpires are taught not to end the game in an attacking situation."



In the 2022 Qatar World Cup group stage match between Korea and Ghana in the second round of Group H, a senior referee fired a direct hit at referee Anthony Taylor from England who blew the final whistle even though Korea had a corner kick right before the end of the game.



On the 4th, Korean time, the British media Express said, "Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenberg (47) pointed out the referee Anthony Taylor (44)'s decision to play in Korea."



Mark Clattenberg is one of the former Premier League referees, and before his retirement, he has refereed several major competitions including the FIFA World Cup.



According to the report, Clattenburg said it was an incomprehensible decision for referee Taylor not to proceed with Korea's corner kick, and pointed out that referee Taylor did not follow the unwritten rule.



"I also blew the final whistle during the Euro 2016 match between Croatia and the Czech Republic despite being awarded a corner kick to Croatia. I remember Luka Modric protesting at the time," he said. has been terminated,” he said.



"Before Korea took a corner against Ghana, referee Taylor ended the game and created an 'ugly scene'. Referees are taught not to end the game in an attacking situation. The corner kick Korea won is an extension of that, and it is a corner kick. should have been given ample time to process



On the other hand, referee Taylor, who has been making noise in the Qatar World Cup, has received a lot of criticism for incomprehensible decisions, such as giving away Korea's corner kick opportunity and giving coach Bento a red card in the match against Korea vs Ghana.



In addition, in Croatia vs. Belgium match, they declared an early end to the game with about 10 seconds left in extra time, and bought a lot of complaints.



Meanwhile, it is noteworthy whether Taylor referee will continue to take charge of the game after the round of 16.



In future matches, the losing team is immediately eliminated, so if a decision dispute such as early termination is raised again, the aftermath is expected to be quite large.
