The VAR again played a leading role in a Santos game on Wednesday. In charge of canceling two of Peixe’s goals in the 1-0 loss to Flamengo, the video referee validated Fellipe Bastos’s goal after a marked impediment on the field and saw a penalty when the ball hit Alison’s hand. Dissatisfied, coach Cuca let off steam after the 2-2 draw with Vasco, in Vila Belmiro.
In a virtual press conference, the Santos coach said, mainly, that he did not agree with the validation of Fellipe Bastos’s goal – he used as an example the play of Peixe’s first goal against Flamengo, last Sunday, annulled by the Raniel’s shoulder in front of the ball line.
– There is no way to come here and not talk about VAR. It has no like. Today was a day that I did not even want to come here to talk, because we are so unlucky … If Heber (Roberto Lopes, VAR this Wednesday) is here last Sunday, he scores our goal, because today he did not consider the player’s shoulder to be hampered of Vasco – said Cuca.
– Wow, you play on Sunday and you have two plays at home, when in doubt both are unfavorable. Here comes the other on Wednesday, there are two plays at his house where in a cruel doubt both are favorable to the other team. The four against? Wow, give us one at least.

Cuca also said that, in the field, the referees say that decisions are made “up there”, indicates the VAR.
– Lack of coherence. It’s no use. And let’s talk, they say: “I’m not to blame, it’s up there.” So, everything is missing. I do not know. We keep pressing the same key. It’s even boring to come here and have to talk about refereeing – he added.
See other excerpts from Coach Cuca’s press conference:
– He supported well, but was also well marked. Vasco’s team scored very well, he came up with a proposal to score. Today things are evolving. They watch a game and within what they see, they enter that proposal to cancel things. That is why we have to reinvent each game, create alternatives to get out of that brand. And today they scored very well.
– The owner is Alison. Today we took a ride in Luan Peres. We had a quick defense knowing that Vasco had only one striker, so many times he went out with two defensive midfielders. We had an error at the beginning of the game. I couldn’t create thanks to the strong Vasco brand. Jobson already had a card and was in a long overdue process. We moved the pieces, but it wasn’t enough to win. I think it was a game to win, for possession of the ball and everything.
Substitute for Felipe Jonatan
– We don’t have any ready at the base. I have Copete who still cannot act, since he does not have bureaucratic contract conditions. He is a loaned player whose contract expires in a few days. There will be condition. Felipe Jonatan from coming and going from abroad has great wear. You can’t make the boys pay every three days.
