Duo questioned the fairness of Brazilian arbitration over the weekend

The Brazilian Association of Football Referees (Abrafut) has announced that it will request the punishment of Bruno Spindel, executive director of Flamengo, and Felipe Melo, defender of Fluminense. Both figures complained about the referees of their respective matches and questioned the fairness of the Brasileirão.

In the duel between Tricolor and Atlético-MG, the number 30 complained about the yellow card given by Raphael Claus after a hard foul on Otávio. The athlete said that “John Textor is right” regarding the accusations made by the owner of Botafogo regarding the manipulation of games in the country.

Furthermore, Bruno Spindel vehemently complained about Paulo Cesar Zanovelli’s refereeing in the clash between Flamengo and RB Bragantino. At the end of the match, the coach stated that the accusations of fraud and theft hurt Rubro-Negro.

– Another accusation that cannot be passed is that of Flamengo director, Bruno Spindel. In the Bragantino x Flamengo match she rebelled against Paulo Cesar Zanovelli’s performance saying that Flamengo is getting hurt and that the refereeing will favor the club that accuses her of theft, fraud, aggression, putting pressure on the referees and thus guaranteeing a result favorable. result for your team.

Abrafut ultimately defended the country’s refereeing and said professionals are being used as a “smokescreen” because of results on the pitch. And he complained about the behavior of the players and the technical committees.

– It will be impossible to have quality football both for the members who work in this modality and for the fans and spectators if all the dissatisfaction is justified by an unfair distrust, disbelief, suspicion and disbelief towards refereeing work. Abrafut, in defense of its referees, will file an infringement notice with the STJD.

With this, the Supreme Court of Sports Justice will evaluate an infringement of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). The Court can hear witnesses and carry out investigations.
