Referee gives green card to football player? Yes, there really is a green card! ! !

What exactly is a green card?

According to “Goal.com”, today, September 6, 2015, in the Italian Serie B, in addition to red cards and yellow cards, the referee will have a green card in his pocket. The first two cards are to punish the players for their foul behavior, while the green card is completely different. It exists to commend the players for their fair play spirit, such as actively stopping the attack to help the opponent’s injured players get timely treatment, or actively confessing to the referee about missed penalty kicks.

Things to review:

I believe many fans will remember Italian star Di Canio, a super forward. In the Premier League match between West Ham and Everton in December 2001, he got the chance to score the winning goal for West Ham in the final period of the game. However, facing the Everton goalkeeper with a knee injury, Italian star Di Canio not only did not shoot, but directly hugged the pass of his teammate with his hands so that the opponent’s goalkeeper could receive immediate treatment. He also won FIFA’s Fair Play Trophy that year.

Not only Di Canio, there are also many examples of stars taking the initiative to admit that they did not exist after receiving unwarranted penalties. Germany’s Klose, Italy’s De Rossi, and Czech midfielder Nedved have all given up penalty kicks.

Red and yellow cards punish fouls, and green cards praise sportsmanship. How will green stadiums develop in the future? Let’s wait and see!
