Barbieri detonates arbitration in defeat to Bahia

Barbieri left irritated with the performance of the arbitration in the defeat of Basque for the bahia. The coach of the Rio team showed great dissatisfaction with the yellow card he received last Monday night, 1, in São Januário. In addition, the minutes of additions given by the person responsible for refereeing the match also made him angry and became a reason for a public complaint.

Vasco’s coach even cited the example of Abel Ferreira to question the arbitration of the confrontation against Bahia. He showed great dissatisfaction with Flávio Rodrigues de Souza, who gave the coach a yellow card after he opened his arms and made a complaint. Barbieri assured that the scream and dissatisfaction had not been directed at the referee of the game.

“I think it’s important to touch on this issue. My card, like Abel’s card in the first round, was a message. I know who sent the message. And today was also a situation that I don’t understand. Because it was a bid in which I opened my arms, Flávio had his back turned, on the other side of the field. Then I ask you: how does Flávio, on the other side of the field, with his back turned, know who I opened my arms to? Or I can’t open arms to my player?’ he questioned.

Another moment that left Mauricio Barbieri uncomfortable was the extra minutes. He recalled that in the first rounds, when his team was ahead of the scoreboard, the arbitration even added another seven minutes and made a reflection in relation to the game against Bahia. The Vasco coach pointed out that, when his team was behind on the scoreboard, Flávio Rodrigues did not follow the pattern and gave less extra time.

“Another point is: we are winning against Atlético-MG, away from home, seven minutes of added time in the first half. We are winning against Palmeiras at home and seven minutes of added time in the first half. We are losing at home and three minutes (of additions). I think it was the only game I’ve seen in the league where they gave three minutes in the first half. I can understand the performance of arbitration as long as it has discretion. There were seven and seven, at least five. Why three today? When we question, we become the problem. That’s what’s bothering you. A narrative is being created that the problem in Brazilian arbitration is the coach. Not the rest. They don’t make mistakes, they don’t make mistakes, the criteria are always perfect“, finished.
