Kitten talks about “unsuspecting professionals”, but apologizes for knocking down the VAR booth: “Of course I’m sorry” | boot

“With a cool head, of course I am sorry. It is not a position I am proud of and I should not have done it,” he wrote.

The player also said that he did not have the “correct posture” and that he knows he must “set an example”, but criticized the refereeing, citing lack of preparation:

– I know my role, I know that I must set an example. But everything has a limit and we don’t even have a way of trying to improve things in refereeing. The VAR is here to stay and is helping football a lot in Brazil and around the world. What cannot happen is that professionals are not prepared to use such a tool.

In the first half, Matheus Babi scored a goal that was disallowed after analysis of the video for offside. In the second half, the referee annulled Bruno Nazário’s goal, due to a lack of Matheus Babi at the start of the play. On both plays, the Botafogo players complained a lot.

The referee commentator Nadine Bastos, during the broadcast of the match, did not agree with the annulment of Bruno Nazário’s goal (see offer below).

– The referee on the field did not consider a foul. I don’t see intensity, there is contact, but I wouldn’t miss it either. I understand and I keep the referee’s decision on the field. He would give the goal – said the commentator when analyzing the lack of Patrick.

“I’d like to try to explain my act today by kicking the VAR booth.

With a cool head now, of course I’m sorry. It’s not a position I’m proud of and I shouldn’t have.

I know my role, I know that I must set an example. But everything has a limit and we don’t even have a way of trying to improve things in refereeing.

The VAR is here to stay and is helping football a lot in Brazil and around the world. What cannot happen is that professionals are not prepared to use such a tool.

Again, I assume that I did not have the correct posture when leaving the field. Everyone knows my character and everything that I have managed to build to date in my career did not happen overnight. But with a warm head, and with everything that everyone saw in the refereeing decisions, it is almost impossible not to show any kind of reaction.

Athletes must have the right to participate in this construction of new refereeing in the world. What is happening today does not satisfy us.

We will continue to work hard to bring the best to our fans. We want other areas that are part of such an important event to also prepare with such responsibility ”.
