IT WAS TO THE SUM! REFEREE OF FLAMENGO

The victory of Flamengo 2-1 over Grêmio had confusing refereeing, which angered Marcos Braz, the club's vice-president of football. At least, that was what the match referee himself, Luiz Flávio de Oliveira, indicated in his summary. The judge, who annulled the awarding of a penalty to Bruno Henrique after a VAR review and stopped marking clear fouls, detailed the manager's insult.

In the Flamengo x Grêmio summary, Luiz claims that in the mixed zone , the Flamengo manager addressed him with the following words: “With you, there are never any surprises, Luiz. You came here to operate Flamengo. And there’s no point looking back”, the referee transcribed, claiming to have felt offended.

The penalty on Bruno Henrique was the main controversy between Flamengo and Grêmio. The player cuts inside and faces the goal, ready to score a great goal. But contact from the Grêmio player prevented the play from continuing in the area. Seeing the review on the big screen, the Red and Blacks at Maracanã complained a lot, but even so, Luiz canceled the call.

In addition, Luiz Flávio de Oliveira noted a second complaint in the summary of Flamengo's victory by 2 to 1 over Grêmio, last Thursday night (13). The resumption of the game was delayed by Rubro-Negro, who took four minutes longer than expected to take to the field to continue the match.

Luiz Flávio de Oliveira already lied on the scoresheet and was sued by Diego Ribas in Flamengo game

An unusual situation involving referee Luiz Flávio de Oliveira already happened before Flamengo x Grêmio. With Diego Ribas active, in 2018, the referee commanded a classic against Vasco, which ended in a 1-1 draw. But the expulsion of Diego Ribas, in the 58th minute, for allegedly swearing at the referee, certainly upset Mengo.< /p>

With the insults noted in the summary to justify the expulsion, Diego claimed not to have spoken harshly, and ended up suing Luiz Flávio de Oliveira for defamation and ideological falsehood.

In court , Luiz Flávio ended up admitting to having included something untrue in the document. The arbitrator was left to apologize and recant at the hearing of the 9th Special Criminal Court of the TJ of Rio, with his defense writing the following in the report:

“Luiz Flávio de Oliveira regrets and apologizes for the events that occurred that generated the present records; the expression considered offensive reported in the summary at the time of the match that led to the expulsion were not uttered by the athlete. But, due to the turbulent moment of the match, I ended up making a mistake about who would have uttered such an expression”, claimed the judge who became controversial again in Flamengo x Grêmio.
