In the press conference given shortly after the match, São Paulo coach Rogério Ceni made his dissatisfaction with the referee’s performance very clear, also regretting the fact that Brazilian teams have little strength in Conmebol. Commander Tricolor found it strange that three players on his team were expelled.
“In the end, when he goes to greet the referee, he kisses their players. Of course, he can, it’s respectful. But, I don’t know, three expelled from us, hugs, kisses… When one of us went to greet him, he says that ‘ I don’t greet you’. Strange. We don’t want to talk about arbitration, but we have to rethink, we have to have more strength in the South American confederation. I remember a time when we had strength, but today we don’t and we suffer a lot “, said the Tricolor coach.
