Referee reports complaints from Palmeiras member after game with Flamengo

Despite, once again, opting for silence and not speaking to the press, Palmeiras continued to position itself against the arbitration. According to the summary of the draw with Flamengo, members of the São Paulo team delegation would have discussed with members of the arbitration commission. At least that’s what was reported by referee Ramon Abatti Abel.

According to the report in the summary of the match for the Brazilian Championship, Carlo Farto, who is the statutory director of the club from São Paulo, did not relieve the refereeing team in the tunnel that is at the exit of the Allianz Parque lawn. As it is on the summary, complaints can be taken to the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), if the court deems it necessary.

“You don’t even wait for the delay, always blow the whistle before, for God’s sake, you don’t even comply with the rule, that doesn’t exist, you’re crazy not to get red”, would have said the member of the São Paulo club to the arbitration team.

In the match between the teams, some decisions made by the arbitration caused complaints from both teams. Palmeiras felt hampered by the non-expulsion of Fabrício Bruno after clashing with Richard Ríos in a corner kick. Flamengo, on the other hand, complains about a non-marking of a penalty in a stride by Ríos in Everton Ribeiro.

It is worth remembering that one of the reasons that made the São Paulo team adopt the law of silence was the complaints about the arbitration. After the press conference by João Martins, a member of the Palmeiras technical commission, saying that there was a system that wanted to harm the club after the tie against Athletico-PR, the team chose not to communicate with the press.
