The VAR teams worked together to stop the work of the two referees in the Rio and Sao Paulo classics. And the players are also the protagonists
The heavy criticism surrounding the officiating of two major regional classics in Rio and Sao Paulo deserves careful reflection. Bruno Mota Correia and Edna Alves, in fact, did not perform well in charge of the Fluminense x Vasco and San Paolo x Santos matches. The matches were very intense and there were several moves that sparked controversy.
However, Bruno and Edna were not alone on the pitch or outside the four lines. The VAR teams worked together to stop the work of the two referees. And the players are also great protagonists of the fray, not only in the two classics, but in the vast majority of matches.
They behave like spoiled children who fight over the most trivial things. They surround the referee, show total disrespect, continually try to break the rules by faking injuries or fouls, feigning aggression, making an outrageous wax when their team is ahead on the scoreboard or interrupting dead ball kicks.
Referees without criteria throughout Brazil
It is clear that the level of Brazilian refereeing is very weak, whether in Rio, Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais or any other state. There are problems in the training and orientation given by directors. There is a lack of discretion and, often, courage, even if those who have the task of ensuring the smooth running of things on the pitch must turn a blind eye to the unjustifiable behavior of the athletes if they do not want to put an end to this situation. the show.
It’s time for players to be held accountable. If they themselves do not show respect, as happens, for example, in Europe, it is urgent to find a formula to rigorously punish simulation, unreasonable behavior and contempt of referees, professional colleagues and the public. Unfortunately, even the coaches are no different. As it stands, this is another sad defeat for Brazilian football, something that has been very common for a long time.
