The group has been working hard, in an extremely professional way, in the face of a series of difficulties, and what we want is the basics, which is to compete on equal terms. Simple like that. We cannot accept being systematically harmed by misinterpretations of the VAR and the judge in the field – said Mufarrej.

– Gabriel Dias touches the ball and falls on Bruno Nazário, who has the opportunity to catch the ball. I had not analyzed it as a penalty, but I was wrong. This is a penalty for me, because Bruno Nazário still had the opportunity to dispute the ball. Although it was an accidental and accidental move, the player actually falls on the player’s ankle and prevents them from continuing in the game. I was wrong in the first part and I bring you the information that it is a penalty

When you are on the ground, the possibility of injury is very high. I didn’t see that much intensity for a red card. I still get the yellow card, despite the call from the video referee. I get yellow.

So, as much as it is impossible to see this contact, when you are on the field, but, from the images with the magnifying glass, it was clear that there was a contact with the fingers and this goal should have been annulled by the new rule – said Sandro Meira . Ricci, in Central do Whistle.
