Julio Casares, president of São Paulo, did not spare criticism of referee Christian Ferreyra after three expulsions in the match against Universidad Católica
O Sao Paulo went to Chile to face the Catholic University on Thursday night, the 30th, and left the match complaining a lot. Despite the 4-2 victory, Soberano had three players expelled in bids considered questionable by the tricolor board. After the end of the game, Julio Casarespresident of the club, commented on what happened.
Igor Vinicius was the first to be warned with a red card in the Sao Paulo. After having already received a yellow card in the first half, the right-back made a simple game, where he obstructed the opponent’s passage, received the second yellow card and was sent off. After this, Rodrigo Nestor went to the shower early after VAR review on a step on the opponent.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
The judge was called into the booth by the Assistant Video Referee for a possible red card. After reviewing the bid, Christian Ferreyra, owner of the whistle, opted for the direct expulsion of the midfielder. In the third case, Jonathan Calleri disputed a ball in the air and collided with the defender of Católica. Understanding a reckless action in the opening of the striker São Paulo’s arm, the referee applied the second yellow and red to the number nine of São Paulo.
In the comfort of the first round of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, the Tricolor paulista committed nine fouls and was cautioned with nine cards, six of which were yellow and three red. Congratulating the São Paulo team, which still managed to win after so many controversies, Casares spared no criticism.
“I want to praise the fight of our team, which put on a great performance and showed a huge fighting spirit, especially after the referee lost control of the match and clearly hurt us. Arbitrations like this hinder not only São Paulo, but the smooth running of the competition“, said.
The first part of the battle is over!
