Abel Ferreira commanded Palmeiras in the goalless draw against Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão and complained a lot about the supposed “persecution” of Brazilian refereeing
On the afternoon of this Sunday, the 5th, Abel Ferreira commanded the palm trees in a goalless draw against Atlético-MG. Missing the chance to add three points playing at home and to reach the leadership of the Brasileirão, the Verdão coach was in trouble with the refereeing decisions of Wilton Pereira Sampaio.
Due to complaints during the match, Abel received another yellow card under the command of Palmeiras. Claiming some persecution from the Brazilian referee, the coach was outraged at the punishment he received and vented at a press conference after the tie at Allianz Parque.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
“I get mad because I got yellow when I only said it was a foul, and he came with all that arrogance. I did not say anything. I have the utmost respect for Hulk and he cursed the line inspector from top to bottom and he (Wilton) didn’t have the courage to give the yellow card. There will be a page, I know, but I feel persecuted by the Brazilian referees. Specifically by this gentleman, who does the best he knows and can“, said.
In addition, the Portuguese revealed that he felt intentionality in Wilton Pereira Sampaio’s action. Recognizing that, against Youth, received a fair punishment, this time Abel Ferreira classified the attitude of the owner of the match whistle as “arrogance” and “arrogance”. In addition, he did not fail to point out that Atlético players were more effusive than him and did not receive a card.
“Today I felt intentionality in his action. I don’t want you to help us, but I don’t want you to harm us. I didn’t like the way you gave me yellow, it was intentional. The yellow was for the athlete who made the foul. And then, in everyone’s beards, the players curse the line umpire and no one saw it. If my yellow card was fair against Juventude, today it was arrogance and arrogance from the referee. But he does the best he can and he knows“, he blurted out.
