Coach Abel Ferreira rebelled after being sent off on Wednesday, at the end of the match between Palmeiras x Ceará, for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. At a press conference after the 3-0 victory, the Portuguese who leads the Alviverde team complained about the position of referee Bráulio da Silva Machado and denied any infraction to justify the red card.
– Before being a coach, I am a man. Before being a referee, player or coach, I am a man. In the end, in all humility, I asked to speak to the referee and he had the arrogance and pride not to receive me. Also to say something else: I am religious, and in church I need to be silent, soccer is a game of emotions – said Abel Ferreira.
– Against Bragantino, I didn’t say a word. Against Vasco I did not say a word to the referee. Today, I only spoke to the referee once and spoke out of sheer emotion, because for me it was a penalty for Ron and it wasn’t. I asked him: the first thing he didn’t see, now he saw. It wasn’t supposed to turn me straight red – said the coach.

– For me, the worst thing was that I had the humility to want to speak and he refused. It is arrogance and arrogance. Before, we are men, and I did not like their behavior – concluded the coach on the subject, annoyed by the expulsion in the third game as Palmeiras commander.
The play took place almost at the end of the confrontation and removes Abel Ferreira from the return match. With 3-0 on the way, Palmeiras may lose by up to two goals difference next Wednesday, in Fortaleza, to advance to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.
The game summary, however, says something else. According to the record of Bráulio da Silva Machado, assistant 1, Henrique Neu Ribeiro, heard Abel Ferreira curse the referee for the penalty for Ceará, which was later annulled after consulting the VAR.
– I directly expelled the aforementioned trainer for having been informed by the assistant number 01, Mr. Henrique Neu Ribeiro, who, when I went to the “ara”, had said the following words in my direction: go and take it in the street. . Come and see that it was nothing ”. Faro also witnessed by the fourth official of the match, Mr. Ilbert Estevam da Silva, wrote the referee of the match in the Palmeirense arena.
