After the draw with Sporting (0-0), the 21st day of the League, Sérgio Conceição left reparations to the referee João Pinheiro. The FC Porto coach contested some of the referee’s decisions.
«We want a high pace of play. I think players have to have character, personality, a desire to want to play the game for there to be some speed. We really wanted that speed. We arrived at minute 90 and there were five stops for substitutions, players on the court, the referee went to the substitute bench again and again and gave three minutes of rest. João Pinheiro is a good referee, but in these matches you have to have the best referee and the best referee was in the VAR [Artur Soares Dias]. This result was not from the referee, we had to be more effective, but he could have promoted football faster, with fewer fouls. I think all the players in the game can and should do more in that regard, “he said.
It should be remembered that, with this tie, FC Porto remained in second place with 45 points, 10 behind the leader Sporting.
