Naflamengo, latest from fla, fla match news, Bruno Henrique and David Luiz received a third yellow card and will serve an automatic suspension next Sunday (11), against Palmeiras. Rafael Klein's punishment against Camisa 27, in fact, was the subject of criticism from Matheus Bachi, Tite's assistant coach.


During the post-game press conference, Matheus was dissatisfied with Rafael's rigor Klein, main referee of the duel. He also drew attention to the fact that, for the second game in a row, there was a mistake in the refereeing against Flamengo athletes.


“I just don't know why he (Rafael Klein) gave a card to BH. He's back with BH again, he must have something against BH, who complained normally. Was it the third? So we had one with Luiz (Araújo) there (at Maracanã) which wasn't supposed to be. Now BH takes the third”, complained Matheus Bachi.


The third yellow card for Luiz Aráujo that he referred to happened in the victory against Atlético-GO last Sunday (28). On the field, referee Gustavo Bauermann punished Camisa 7 allegedly for waxing during a substitution. It turns out that the player was not being substituted.

While taking notes about objects thrown onto the pitch, Bruno Henrique questioned Klein, who punished him with a yellow card. . Interestingly, that was also the third yellow and BH would have to comply with the automatic suspension. However, after being punished, the attacker became even more furious and raised the tone of his complaints. Thus, the referee applied a direct red to Camisa 27.

In the summary, Rafael Klein stated that Bruno Henrique offended him:

“I inform you that I expelled the athlete as a result of the direct red card. number 27 of the C. R. Flamengo team, Mr. Bruno Henrique Pinto, for offending me with the following words: 'you're a s***', with his finger raised towards my face, after a foul was called and also be warned with a yellow card. After being expelled, the athlete came towards me, being restrained by his teammates. I inform you that I felt offended.”

As a result of the two punishments, Bruno Henrique had to serve a two-game suspension.

After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.


RETURN AS HOLDER

It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.


According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
