Vasco lost the classic to Fluminense in the Carioca Championship, and Mauricio Barbieri vented about the refereeing and revealed frustration
O Basque couldn’t win the Fluminense last Sunday, the 12th, and Mauricio Barbieri saw his team defeated by the score of 2 to 0 and entitled to two goals from Cano. After the game was over, the coach of the cruzmaltino cast spoke about the referee of the game and called him “confused”, in addition to revealing that he left with a great frustration of the classic. That’s because, he expected to have won the victory for what the team created during the 90 minutes.
In a press conference, Mauricio Barbieri asked the fans to calm down and tried to explain the reasons for not showing a certain dejection for the result. He highlighted that he was frustrated with the 2-0 defeat by Fluminense, but he highlighted the delivery and the way Vasco played during the match. Inefficiency ended up being the main reason for the defeat by Tricolor das Laranjeiras in the state.
“First, I want to make it clear to the fans that the calm I’m going to say doesn’t reflect frustration with the result. We’re all upset because I think we deserved it. Another feeling that accompanies us is that of injustice, in the first half they didn’t even kick a ball in the goal and we had several opportunities. Of course we faced a good team and they did when they had the opportunity. The feeling is one of frustration, but the calm is the certainty that we are on the right track“, said the coach of Vasco.
Mauricio Barbieri assured that if Vasco manages to maintain this level of performance, the team will achieve more victories in the next games: “If we played other games against this same team the way we played today, we would certainly have more victories than the result that happened today. We are at the beginning of the work, and we are talking about a team with a more consolidated project. It is clear that we need to evolve, but we are on the right path“.
In addition to his frustration with the result in the classic against Fluminense, Mauricio Barbieri did not hide his annoyance with the refereeing of the game against Vasco and highlighted the lack of level of the professional who commanded the game. According to the coach, Ferje needs to give a little more prestige to its main state championship.
“Regarding arbitration, it did not follow the level. It is not possible to place a referee who has never refereed a Serie A game. He was very confused. All teams have tried to value the championship, like the Federation. But that is also valuing the championship, putting people up to the show“, he concluded.
