After a goalless draw in the Rio classic, Diniz was revolted by the VAR’s performance and criticized referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio
Right after the goalless draw in the classic carioca, coach Fernando Diniz used the press conference to vent. Annoyed by the performance of the VAR and the referee Savio Pereirathe commander of Fluminense fired criticism against the refereeing of Brazilian football and cited the lack of criteria as the main problem to be solved.
“I am in favor of VAR, but in Brazil it has no positive participation. It hinders more than it helps. There are moves that the referee was close to and there was a misinterpretation. Could have settled in the field. And what bothers me the most is the lack of criteria. We have a meeting before the championship and it’s useless“, shot Diniz during the press conference.
“Each referee whistles in a different way. What bothers me the most is the lack of discretion. The fan is punished because he has less ball rolling. You have to have uniformity of criteria to have more ball in play. Intervention by the VAR, when the judge is on top of the move, he goes to the VAR and takes a long time, he has to take the decision of the field. that’s what i think“, completed the coach of Fluminense.

The player scored a great goal after taking the ball out of the defensive field and risking the shot from outside the area. Matheus Cunha failed to make the defense and ball died in the bottom of the goal. However, VAR came into play.
at the opportunity, Andre disarmed Everton Cebolinha in the attacking field, and Arias took the rebound and led to the offensive field.
