The Palmeiras assistant makes harsh accusations against arbitration and VAR and attacks: “Brasilian Way”


At a press conference, João Martins attributed the defeat to the decisions of the judge of the match

In a sequence of duels with the best teams of Brazilirão, Palmeiras will reach the clash with Cruzeiro, in Belo Horizonte, without their two main defenders: Gustavo Gómez and Murilo took the third yellow and are appropriation forward in the next round. The cards were clear, but the arbitration was not unharmed in Allianz Parque. The reproach of João Martins, replaced for the suspended Abel Ferreira in the loss of 2-0 in Flamengo, was against the Var, in his opinion, in the result and disciplined and distorted for the Cariocas.



The technical assistant spoke of “Brasilian Way” to define the arbitration of Santa Catarina Ramon Abatti Abele in the capital, suggesting help for Flamengo. The reproach arrived in a triple dose: the delay in writing the touch of Varela on the penalty in Palmeiras (there was a doubt if it was in the area), the penalty for Cariocas in the offers that João Martins found “normal” (Murilo grabbed Armeleta, but said that the use of his body) and in a lightning in the Alex di Sandro area.

“First of all, for everything to be very clear, there has been our ineffectiveness in the penalty. Then there are rules to be fulfilled here in Brazil. These are always irregular trips that invent. We have been here for four and a half years and we already know that today it is VAR that sends the game.

“The rule of our penalty is very simple, VAR only has to say if it is inside or outside and in doubt the decision of the field will follow. The rule is clear and I don’t know what he likes to invent,” he said. “How much does it cost to satisfy the rule? Subsequently, we knew it was impossible to mark two penalties against Flamengo. The clear penalty of Alex Sandro that Mr. Wagner (reway, Var) did not see.” Especially here, there is the law of the Brazilian way, compensation “, followed the assistant, with the accusations that would lead to explanations in the sports courts.

He went further: “We knew that after scoring a penalty in Palmeiras, the obligation was to make the goal, because then it will always be against. He has already marked one, now it will always be against. This is the way we work and sometimes we rebel so much,” he said.

“We just want to fulfill the rule. And the second penalty can only laugh. Once again Mr. Wagner has decided the game. Ramon told him, he is a meter and everyone saw that football is a contact game. If I had grabbed, I was the first to say that it was a penalty. The external pressure is such that Var so much calls with the images stopped and was marked because there was a first half.
