Grêmio’s president cites a change in the VAR scale and explains the request to cancel the game | Guild

The meeting cited by Bolzan took place last Thursday. The São Paulo club, represented by football director Raí and executive manager Alexandre Bird, had a conversation with Leonardo Gaciba, head of the CBF Refereeing Committee, to discuss tenders in which he felt hampered by arbitrations.

After the match, it was decided that Rafael Traci, the video referee in São Paulo’s loss to Atlético-MG, would remain as the field judge against Grêmio. But the director of the VAR, Rodolpho Toski Marques, was eventually replaced by Elmo Alves Resende Cunha. Marques was criticized by São Paulo for his 3-3 draw with Fortaleza, in the middle of the week, for the Brazil Cup.

– The Grêmio at that time examines the possibility of conducting an investigation process of what really happened in the midweek meeting between São Paulo and the members of CBF, examines knowing the content, examines knowing the result, because that meeting resulted in the arbitration exchange. in part due to the departure of Grêmio and São Paulo – Romildo said in a video sent to RBS TV.

According to Romildo, depending on this investigation, it is possible to request the cancellation of the match. The club knows that it is unlikely to be successful in this election, but wants to make a position at the CBF.

– Under these conditions, carrying out the process investigating and giving rise to a situation, it is evident that the game must be canceled. But it is a preliminary process, of examination of legal procedures. And it is exactly this content that we will examine right now. There is fog, and above all a very clear symptom of the match and the consequence of the match by arbitration. Clearly there was a clear, damaging and very evident defeat for Grêmio due to the disastrous arbitration that occurred in the match between Grêmio and São Paulo this Saturday – Romildo completed.

The report has not yet been able to reach Leonardo Gaciba for comment on the case.

On the pitch, Grêmio complains about at least four plays in the tie against São Paulo: two penalties that would not have been scored, one against Pepê in the first half and another against Geromel in the second. (see the two offers below), in addition to the fouls on Alisson and Luiz Fernando that should result in expulsions of São Paulo players.
