Under pressure, Goiás and Bahía drew 1-1 in a nervous game and had an ugly discussion even among the coaches. Enderson Moreira and Mano Menezes chatted on the edge of the field during the game, shortly after the Emerald manager was sent off for a complaint. The tricolor commander was also excluded by the referee after the final whistle.
According to Enderson Moreira, he was heading to the locker room when he was provoked by Mano. Ironically, the technician would have hinted that Goiás benefited from the arbitration. Enderson condemned the attitude of his professional colleague.
– I passed and he turned to me: “You played with 12 today, huh professor”? I found a tremendous lack of respect. I don’t give him that freedom
– If you have questions, ask whoever is responsible. Don’t put me in the middle. We did our job and he can’t take our credit. I think it is absurd that he made that kind of comment, because I do not give him the freedom to do so, Enderson added.

In Enderson’s assessment, Mano and other coaches with more experience in Brazilian soccer end up receiving more tolerance from the referees. He criticized this supposedly increased patience.
– Today I was expelled because I told the referee that I had no contact in a play. There are coaches who curse and are not expelled. But since it’s “Enderson Moreira”, it’s easier to do it. I apologize to the fans, since I should have controlled myself more, but I did nothing more than say that there was no contact in a tender that was being reviewed by the VAR.

In addition to the controversies, Enderson also regretted another game without a win. Since taking charge of Goiás, the coach has led the team in five games and has not won: four losses and a draw.
– We are very sorry, but my job is to make this team play better, to have a discussion. For most of the game, we were in control. Unfortunately, after the goal we retired a lot. This is not the way. This is very sad and disappointing. I leave disgusted, disappointed. We need results by yesterday.
Goiás is the bluff of the Brazilian Championship with 10 points and returns to the field on Monday, against Botafogo, in Nilton Santos. Having been sent off, Enderson will not be able to command the team. Rafael Moura received the third yellow card and is also suspended.
