The body led by Luciano Gonçalves condemns the words of the FC Porto coach after the draw with Belenenses.
The Portuguese Association of Soccer Referees (APAF) issued a statement on Thursday about Sérgio Conceição’s statements shortly after the final whistle of the match between FC Porto and Belenenses, which ended in a draw (0-0) among many Blue and White critics .
“(…) We were watching an arbitration as I do not remember seeing it. I do not know to what extent a referee who is under an incredible controversy [foi Fábio Veríssimo quem deu o cartão amarelo a João Palhinha] A game arrives that can be decisive for the title. There are three players in three different situations that should have seen the second yellow, one of them, Calila’s move with Corona, even touched red, it’s amazing how he doesn’t send it off. Why? An arbitrator coming out of a dispute and the Board of Arbitration puts you here to arbitrate today. This is inexplicable, regardless of whether we have to put the ball in and score a goal, but this is disgusting, I have the players disgusted in the locker room “, Conceição said in the quick interviews area. Porto had “serious faults” to the human and moral integrity of referee Fábio Veríssimo and his team “.
“It is unacceptable that we continue to accept these types of words and behaviors in public as normal in football. It is urgent to start measuring the consequences of the words said. The intention was clear, to hurt the work of the referees. However, the result of the words is in the eyes of all and it was not the case of a discussion of sports decisions ”, points out the APAF, which advanced with a complaint against the Porto coach.
“Football is not the scene of infringements either, we condemn this behavior and send the complaint to all the competent bodies. The Portuguese Association of Football Referees will give all legal support to referee Fábio Veríssimo and hopes that this is another bad example that we will set.” See them sentenced in the light of the justice of the competent bodies ”, adds the body led by Luciano Gonçalves, which ends with a desire to improve Nanu, who was admitted -already discharged- after an impressive play with Kritciuk, goalkeeper of the Belenenses.
APAF statement:
“The language of the soccer agents has a direct influence on our society. The bigger the club, the greater the visibility and, consequently, the greater the responsibility in the chosen words.
Yesterday [quinta-feira]After his game, we saw Sérgio Conceição, coach of Futebol Clube do Porto, commit serious faults to the human and moral integrity of Referee Fábio Veríssimo and his team. It is unacceptable that we continue to accept these kinds of words and behavior in public as normal in football. It is urgent to start measuring the consequences of the words spoken.
The intention was clear, to harm the work of arbitration. However, the result of the words is visible to all and the apology was not a discussion of sports decisions. Hatred and irresponsibility were generated, mainly through the media and social networks.
This is not the right path, this is a path of regression and irresponsibility.
Football is not the scene of infringements either, we condemn this behavior and forward the complaint to all the competent bodies. The Portuguese Association of Soccer Referees will give full legal support to Referee Fábio Veríssimo and hopes that this is another bad example that we will see condemned in the light of the justice of the competent bodies.
Finally, we leave a word of solidarity and wish rapid improvements to the athlete Eulânio Ângelo Chipela Gomes (Nanú), because there is no sporting result that is above human life ”.
