André Bernardo, administrator of the SAD do Sporting, highlighted this Thursday the lions’ criticism of the refereeing, considering that “the absence of uniform criteria in the treatment of the different clubs, on and off the field, is unacceptable and does not preserve competition “.

Through the editorial of the newspaper Sporting, the official also pointed out: “It is a fact that the Arbitration Council (CA) decided to pronounce itself through the media only on the specific play of Coates’ goal. But, aside from being amazed at the decision itself considering what the rules say, the speed is strange, the specificity of the shot is strange, and the shape is strange. But it is more strange, and also in fact, that the treatment against our rival less than a year ago was exactly the opposite. The same applies to the Portuguese Association of Soccer Referees (APAF) ».

«Why the different approaches? I don’t know and it will be up to them to answer. Something that we requested yesterday by letter to the CA, taking the opportunity to reinforce the importance of the audios of communication with the VAR being public during decisions. Ambition that we made public first-hand and that we consider crucial in the constructive and transparent path that protects the sector and the competitive environment ”, André Bernardo continued, who concluded:

“At the end of the day, Sporting only wants the ‘road’ competition to be the same for everyone, to be well defined and without straights for some and with curves for others. Because we could want to play outside the rules and we could want to be something else, but we only know how to be one thing: Sporting! It is not a defect, it is DNA. And where one goes, ALL GO! », Concludes.
