“I’ll leave you with a more critical analysis,” said the Italian coach about the penalty awarded to Flamengo
Last Thursday (11), Fortaleza beat Flamengo 2-1, at the Maracanã. In a press conference, at the end of the match valid for the round of 16 of the Brazilian Championship, the tricolor coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda valorized the victory avoiding to talk about the refereeing controversies.
“I wasn’t that close to moving, but then I analyzed it on television and I leave it to you to do a more critical analysis, a more detailed analysis of this play”Vojvoda said about the referee’s decision to award a penalty to Flamengo.
In the controversial move, Pedro fell in the Ceará area, after a failed attempt to kick the ball and lost his balance. Edina Alves, the match referee, scored a touch for the tricolor defense and a penalty in favor of Flamengo. The action was reviewed by the VAR, led by Caio Max Augusto Vieira, who confirmed the call. At the time, Fortaleza was winning 1-0 and ended up equalizing with a penalty converted by the red-black striker.
Without commenting on the action that led to the opponent’s goal, Vojvoda appreciated the behavior of his team, who tried to double the score with Lucero, and stressed the importance of the victory against Flamengo, who led the Brasileirão until the last round and had only been beaten at home once in the competition.
“Today we got a very important win, against a very difficult opponent and at home. I know that so far we are doing a good job, but we have to continue to grow and evolve more and more”the coach said. “From the board of directors, to the players, to the commission, to the club’s cleaning staff, it is this collective effort that will help us achieve our goals here in Fortaleza”he stressed.
