Fluminense assistant coach, Eduardo Barros, comments on the refereeing performance in the classic against Vasco

In the press conference, the assistant replaced coach Fernando Diniz, who was sent off in the classic this Wednesday (14).

During the clash between Fluminense and Vasco, Fernando Diniz was sent off early in the second half, replaced by assistant coach Eduardo Barros for the rest of the match. Rio de Janeiro State Football Federation (Ferj) regulations prohibit the expelled coach from attending the press conference. Barros then took to the microphones in Diniz’s place, commenting on topics such as influence performance and refereeing.

— Fluminense performance is still far from our best version. It’s true that the season is starting. Today, due to the circumstances of the match, we had to make some unexpected changes. In our best moment of the match, we believe that the refereeing managed to interrupt the flow of the match – said Eduardo Barros.

— In the second half our game was more balanced. I thought the first half was very open, and the second half started with the dominance of our team, we believed that they could sustain this dominance to the point of being able to score the first goal of the match. I think the refereeing gets lost at a certain point in the game. In a dead ball situation, which is an extremely common territory dispute in football, where everyone wants to earn their space, in my opinion this circumstance of the game could have been managed better,” he added.

Another topic discussed in the press conference was the entry of Renato Augusto into the starting lineup, replacing Keno, who was absent from the classic due to a hamstring problem.

— It is a system that already has a lot of interaction, which played together many matches last year, including the decisive ones, when we make a change it is natural that there are some misfits in this system, and these misfits favor some spaces for the opponent , as happened today. With repetition, matches, training we will increasingly reduce this type of misalignment, for when a last minute situation like the one that happened today occurs. Let’s hope Keno can participate in the two Recopa games.
