Perrin wants goalline technology at Asian Cup

CHINA coach Alain Perrin called for goalline technology to be introduced to the Asian Cup after his side had a goal disallowed against North Korea yesterday.

On the stroke of half-time, with China 2-0 up, midfielder Yu Hai played a delicate chip over North Korean goalkeeper Ri Myong-Guk that appeared set for the back of the net. But defender Jon Kwang-Ik scrambled back and headed it away. Slow-motion television replays were not conclusive but appeared to show the ball cross the line.

“We have the benefit of this advanced technology and I hope it comes to the Asian Cup like it is at the World Cup,” Perrin told reporters after China’s 2-1 win. “It is very helpful for referees and if in the future we can have this technology at the Asian Cup it would be very good.”
