Carpini praises San Paolo’s performance, avoiding talking about refereeing and Abel Ferreira


The referee’s performance against Palmeiras irritated Julio Casares, president of Sao Paulo

Unlike the position of president Julio Casares, the coach of Sao Paulo, Thiago Carpini, preferred not to get involved in the controversy after the draw between Sao Paulo and Palmeiras, 1-1, at the Morumbis Stadium, for the Paulistão. The coach did not speak about the referee’s performance nor about Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira.




– I have seen the entire Palmeiras commission several times in the technical area. We too have had it at times, but in a less obvious way. I think this different weight rule didn’t only apply off the field – said Carpini.

Thiago Carpini used a moment of speech during the press conference to praise the performance of his players and regret the failure to send off Richard Ríos for a hard foul on Pablo Maia in the first half of the classic. According to the coach “it was the biggest mistake” of the refereeing.

– I prefer to keep what I think about the arbitration to myself and let’s move on to the next one. I prefer to praise how the match was, even with many important absences – said the coach, who didn’t have Calleri and Wellington Rato at Choque-Rei.

– We finished before Alisson scored. Palmeiras, if I remember correctly, didn’t have a final before. We control it, he is an opponent to beat. The movements are very synchronized. We worked for 15 minutes on the defensive line and we got along very well, in the match we were better in my opinion – added the coach.
