Roger Guedes explains controversy and sends a message to Ana Thaís Matos

On the afternoon of this Thursday, the 27th, the striker Roger Guedes released an official note to explain itself after all the controversy with the journalist Ana Thais Matos. After sorting the Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil, the player defended the coach Cuca and blasted the commentator. For him, the professional was unfair for condemning the coach without any kind of proof about the case.

“Just yesterday I spent an hour in his room. The guy crying in front of you is f…. Unfortunately, we live in a time when people judge, put the finger a lot and don’t let the person prove their innocence. People need to review the lines. Ana Thaís (Matos, Globo commentator) talks a lot. Particularly in me it hits a lot, for no reason.“, said the striker.

“I think it’s inhumane to attack the person. I mentioned Ana Thaís because she is one of the people who attacked him a lot. Does she have evidence to talk about him? She has no evidence to talk about. So, what does she want to judge? Surely she’s already made a lot of mistakes of times in life too. And he, in the conversation he had with me, I trust him completely, he said that he will prove it, that he will pursue it”continued Roger Guedes in the mixed zone.

After being detonated by the striker, Ana Thaís Matos shared several messages on social networks to criticize the behavior of the Corinthians players, who went to hug coach Cuca after the victory. In addition, she posted a photo of a coconut tree and wrote the following sentence to mock: “Good morning. Reaping the fruits of my mistakes“.

With all the repercussions surrounding the case, Roger Guedes released a statement on social networks and tried to explain himself after the criticism. According to him, the words spoken against Ana Thaís Matos were not a personal attack. He claimed that he only refuted what the commentator had already said about him and cited that her statement was distorted by people.

“The quote directed at the journalist was work-related, and that was it. It wasn’t something personal, but we all know the reach, recognition and representation that Ana Thaís has in the world of football, so much so that I quote journalists in general and then direct this to her, because I know how big she is for people , and it turned out to be distorted“, wrote Roger Guedes.
