TITE AND URUGUAY COACH THINK DIFFERENTLY WHEN IT IS ARRASCAETA AND DE LA CRUZ TOGETHER

O Flamengo beat Juventude 4-2 this Saturday (26), at Maracanã. The expulsion of Nenê, a former Vasco midfielder, became one of the main topics on social media. Gustavo Machado, a lip reading specialist, published a revealing video a> the conversation between the athlete and the referee Bráulio da Silva Machado.

“What question did I ask you, man**? I asked a question, don't do that. Look at the VAR there. Here's the audio. I was talking to you. Why are you going to do this to me? For God's sake, I was just talking. Look what you're doing, Bráulio. Are you going to do this to me?” Nenê said to referee Bráulio da Silva Machado.

The referee reported that he felt offended by the swear words. During the incident, Nenê asked Gerson, captain of Flamengo, for help: “Talk to him, Gerson. I just asked one question and he gave me two cards”, explained the Juventude midfielder.

THE LANCE

In the 30th minute of the second half, Bráulio scored a free kick for Flamengo at the edge of Juventude's area. Upset with the decision, Nenê questioned the referee and received a yellow card. After insisting, he was warned again and ended up expelled.

“It's difficult to talk about a hothead, because it's an unbelievable thing. I asked how VAR changes a corner kick to a goal kick (in favor of Flamengo) and I got yellow. So I said: “I can’t ask a question, dammit?” I never spoke towards him. I didn’t swear and he automatically gave me a second yellow card”, said Nenê, shortly after the match against Flamengo.

Nenê was unable to prevent Juventude's defeat. Michael opened the scoring for Flamengo, but Gilberto equalized for the visitors. Flamengo regained control and extended it to 3-1 with Gabigol and Arrascaeta. Juventude scored withEdson Carioca, but Gonzalo Plata closed the score.
