Marcos Braz, director of Flamengo, shoots at Palmeiras: “It is…”

Last Saturday, 08, the Flamengo was tied 1-1 with palm trees and left irritated with an unmarked penalty. Already in the second half, Everton Ribeiro he suffered a blow to his back and fell inside the area, but nothing was signaled by the judge. One day after the match, the board of directors from Rio de Janeiro decided that he would go to the CBF to complain and ask for clarification about the move.

Proof of this was the director’s social network Marcos Braz. This Sunday afternoon, the 9th, the director shared a video with similar moves involving Palmeiras. The first was a penalty for Verdão in the game against Guild in 2021. In the other, Flamengo complained about an unmarked penalty on top of Everton Ribeiro.

“It’s getting ugly“, wrote Marcos Braz on social networks. It is worth noting that Flamengo was even more bothered by the recent controversies between the CBF and Palmeiras. For another game, the São Paulo team did not give interviews in protest of the behavior against the coach Abel Ferreira. However, the dubious bid in favor of Verdão was not passed on to the entity.

At the press conference after the game, coach Jorge Sampaoli was asked about the bid and also about recent complaints from Palmeiras. In a mild tone and without controversy, the Argentine did not even mention the penalty claimed and said he had no reason to complain. According to him, the only problem was the pepper spray that stopped the match.

I can’t say much about it (about the arbitration). It was a football game in which many things happened. The only thing that bothered me on the field was the pepper spray. Football gives you and takes you away. Today was a game between two good teams that will fight for many things. I enjoyed the game“, said Sampaoli.
