LOOK AT THIS: “MINIMUM CONTACT”! VAR SAYS IN A CONTROVERSIAL THING IN THE GAME BETWEEN FLAMENGO X PALMEIRAS

Last Saturday night (8) Flamengo and Palmeiras faced each other and the result was a tie. That game was full of confusion and controversial moves, there were complaints from managers, players and members of the technical commissions.

There was a controversial move inside the Palmeiras area, in the ball dispute between Everton Ribeiro and Richard Rios. The midfielder suffered a load on the steering wheel's back and fell, but the field referee understood that it was not a penalty.

This morning On Tuesday, the CBF released Var's audios and the conversations between the field and video referee were quite controversial since, for the referees, the steering wheel's contact with Everton Ribeiro had not been strong enough to knock him down.

"Minimum contact and he throws himself", considers Ramon Abatti Abel, who was very close to the move.

“For me, it has no impact on his back. It has contact, but not enough impact to take him down. He holds the stride and throws himself. The impact is minimal”, he adds.

The Var audios were analyzed by the head of arbitration Wilson Seneme during the Arbitration Talk program , on the CBF website. The manager disagreed with the marking on the field, saying that the referees should assess whether the contact was enough to knock the player down.

“Not all shoulder on the back is foul. But from the moment I put my shoulder behind my back, I have to assess whether the contact is enough to take the player down. For the referees, it wasn't enough. This is very clear in the narrative of the field referee who saw the move and interpreted it. We are talking about a very fine move. We in the arbitration department are 11 technical instructors and it was absolutely divided. This demonstrates the degree of difficulty. In our view in general, the contact, because it was on the back, we see, yes, a potential for an infraction for this play ”, he said.

Even disagreeing, the manager considers that Var was right not to intervene, since the bid was interpretive and that the field referee had already positioned himself.
