Flamengo defeated Athletico 2-0 on Wednesday evening (12), at the Ligga Arena, in Curitiba, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil 2023. The Rio de Janeiro soccer team did not like the performance of the referees and decided to veto any interview, both away from home and during the press conference with coach Jorge Sampaoli.
— By determination of the football management, the athletes and coach Jorge Sampaoli will not give interviews after the standings of Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil. It is a protest for repeated and absurd mistakes made during the match – wrote the club on a social network.
One of the moves that most generated revolt among the Flamengo players was the goal disallowed by Gabigol. The attacker starts free towards the area, dribbles past Bento and touches the back of the net, but the VAR cancels the declaration for offside. The frame shown on the stadium screen showed the video referee control in real time and the athletes of the Rio team also celebrated, but after confirming the infringement, there was no shortage of complaints. Coach Jorge Jorge Sampaoli also received a yellow card.
Gerson was sent off at the end of the game after an argument with Thiago Heleno. Arrascaeta, Gabriel, Thiago Maia, Ayrton Lucas and Allan were also booked.
Classified, Flamengo face Grêmio in the semi-finals, still no date set for the round trip. First, the rubro-negro carioca turns his attention to the Brazilian championship. On Sunday (16th), coach Jorge Sampaoli’s team plays the derby against Fluminense, at 4 pm (Brasilia time), in Maracanã, for the 15th round of the national championship.
