After the draw in Corinthians x Santos, Mano Menezes was sincere about the refereeing of the classic; The result hurt both São Paulo giants in the table
Mano Menezes opened the game about the refereeing of the classic Corinthians x Santoswhich was defined in the 30th round of the Brasileirão 2023. Alvinegro Praiano managed to snatch a draw from the home team at Neo Química Arena after having a favorable penalty at lights out, duly taken by Mendoza. However, the maximum penalty was questioned by the coach from Rio Grande do Sul.
“The penalty is absurd. It’s so clear that the foot of Mendez is on the ground when Soteldo’s foot projects onto our player’s foot, who has no way to score. There are questionable moves, but this penalty does not fit into that category. We also had two unusual moves in the game”said Mano.
“The referee called an offside call in the first half that the flag man didn’t signal. In the second half, this happened again, the flag didn’t signal and the referee didn’t blow the whistle. They are the famous voices from beyond”. Even so, Timão’s commander did not fail to praise the squad’s performance, especially in the initial stage of the confrontation, and the rival goalkeeper John Paul.
“I think Corinthians had a first half that should have ended 3-0 due to the quality of the game, the total control of the actions, the number of opportunities created… and we have to congratulate João Paulo, who scored a very good performance”, he stated. Mano Menezes’ squad returns to the field against Athletico-PR on Wednesday, the 1st. Timão was five points behind Z4; Santos, in turn, is only two points and one position away.
