Refereeing ended up being the main topic of Thiago Kosloski’s press conference, after Vasco’s 1-0 loss to Coritiba this Sunday in Couto Pereira. The assistant, who replaced Ramón Menezes (diagnosed with Covid-19) at the edge of the field, criticized the referee of the video for returning the penalty from Fernando Miguel and not scoring a penalty on Neto Borges in the last game.
– There was a penalty. Fernando Miguel took the penalty, he (VAR) returned it. Then the guy almost took Neto’s boot off. In my opinion it was a penalty. There were two weights and two VAR measures.
– I think the VAR is taking away the authority of the referee on the field. Vasco has already benefited from VAR, but I remember the play against São Paulo and today the referee ordered him to return. The video referee is whistling. It’s getting complicated for me. You score and you have to wait three minutes to celebrate. Unfortunately, it is a situation over which we have no control. Unfortunately we have to accept and work – emphasized Koslosky.
Despite criticism from the assistant, during the TV Globo broadcast, referee commentator Sandro Meira Ricci coincided with Luiz Flávio de Oliveira’s marks. For Ricci, the referee was right by returning the Coritiba penalty, since Fernando Miguel went ahead, and it was not a fault of Neto Borges in another play criticized by Koslosky
Still at the post-game press conference, the coach also commented on Yago Pikachu’s child penalty on Robson at the end of the game and lamented the opportunities missed by the attackers. Cano, Talles, Parede and Ribamar had good opportunities.

– It was our mistake, a penalty in a controlled situation, in a shot that would have come to nothing.
– I don’t think the first half was that bad. We knew that Coritiba would arrive, at home, with intensity. But we grew in the second half, we were in control of the game and we lost opportunities. If you have the opportunity, you must kill, turn into goals. Ramón always preaches that. In the last games Vasco was being deadly. I didn’t finish much, but I was managing to convert. Against Botafogo we cannot be wrong. If we have the opportunity we have to kill to pass the level.

Koslosky cited the team’s fatigue from the marathon games, but said the team will raise its head to go to Botafogo on Wednesday for the Brazil Cup. In the first leg, the opponent won 1-0.
– I take the group spirit, especially in the second half, we had a good start. Of course, we still have to improve the intensity. But I think this is going to be a great attrition, we will play on Wednesday and Sunday. We had a good second half, Talles created it, our defense was doing well. Nobody likes to lose, but we have to raise our heads and go to Botafogo in São Januário.
