‘Hopefully the referees suffer punishment’, says the president of Cruzeiro after a draw with the Guaraní

“Now, I hope the arbitration that did what you did here is also punished by CBF, because we see, even more here (in Serie B), that it does not have VAR, and in Serie A and Copa do Brasil matches, with VAR, that the other day the club will complain and nothing changes. Then the complaints pass, everyone shows what is happening, a bad level of arbitration in general and the changes do not occur ”, he added, speaking in the Gigante da Pampulha press room.

In the sequence of the report, the celestial representative mentioned the confusion among the athletes in the descent to the dressing rooms. According to Srgio, a Guaraní player would have attacked the defender CacHowever, there was no warning or reprimand for the arbitration. In the return to the complementary stage, Pottker, who was responsible for Cruzeiro’s second goal, ended up taking the red card for a non-existent infraction.

“Our protest here for this. Needless to say, I’m going to get on a plane, go to CBF and take the video, they all do it, CBF saw the game too I’m sure. The holder of the broadcasting rights has already made it clear how the expulsion of our attacker, who had already scored a goal, could not have taken place. In the interval, he was confused by ignorance of what happened., Cac was practically attacked and nothing was done, the player was provoking himself and nothing was done. Then, obviously, that offer of capital ”.

At the end of the statement, Srgio Santos Rodrigues reiterated the request from the Brazilian Confederao de Futebol for Pathrice Wallace Corra Maia and assistants Silbert Faria Sisquim and Thiago Rosa de Oliveira to be sanctioned for the mistakes made in Belo Horizonte.

“Our protest here, already public, is this request. I won’t talk too much, as the STJD will punish me if I talk too much. But I hope that those who did what they did with Cruzeiro here are also punished and never come here to do the kind of things you did today. Here is our protest for the CBF Refereeing Committee to observe what has been done here today and for those who practiced what they practiced here be given due punishment. “
