Flamengo and Grêmio drew 1-1 this Sunday (31), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition to the result, Rubro-Negro left the stadium very angry with the performance of referee Paulo César Zanovelli da Silva . After the match, coach Filipe Luís made harsh criticisms of the national refereeing and demanded action from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
Filipe Luís on the refereeing of Flamengo vs. Grêmio: "Zero criteria. This disappoints me greatly"
"The players talk to the referee, but they're focused on winning. It's not their job to argue with the referee or complain all the time. The referee is the one who needs to do the right job . What I'd like is for referees to be assigned to review games and correct mistakes," the coach stated.
Filipe Luís then reiterated his dissatisfaction: "I have serious doubts about this happening. Mistakes are repeated, rules aren't adjusted, the game becomes choppy , boring, with countless non-existent fouls. Zero rules. This disappoints me greatly, because what we want most is to not have to worry about the refereeing, just to play football," he concluded.
Flamengo 's complaints intensified due to decisions deemed erroneous by Zanovelli. In particular, the yellow card given to Léo Ortiz in the 44th minute of the first half . The defender disarmed an opponent with a sliding tackle, but the referee signaled a foul and punished the defender. Having already accumulated two warnings in the championship, Ortiz is suspended for the next round.
Without the defender, Flamengo returns to the field only on September 14th due to the break for the FIFA Date , against Juventude, at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. With the draw, Mengão remains in the lead of the Brasileirão, but saw the advantage over Cruzeiro drop to just three points, but with a game less than Raposa.
