Ball – “Abel called the referee blind and insulted him and nothing happened” (Palmeiras)

Atlético Guiananzi coach Jorginho left a stinging criticism of Abel Ferreira after the defeat against him. verdaw (2-4).

“I am very sorry for what happened in the game, an argument between me and my assistant with staff Palmeiras. I respect the referee, but they didn’t respect it. They described him as blind, and insulted him with all the names. He clapped his hands to judge and nothing happened. I reported this, it’s not fair. My deputy saw a card, they too, but the one who should have been kicked out was Abel. And it wouldn’t be the first time.”

Jorginho also praised the Portuguese coach’s work, but demanded “respect”. “He did a great job, congratulations for being a two-time Libertadores champion, he did a great job. But there should be respect for me, my team and the referee. We asked for severe punishment and it did not happen. The fourth referee did not inform the referee of what Abel had done,” he accused.

“No wonder it’s not just him [Abel], but the entire technical team is constantly being fired for this disrespect. Applaud the referee… They mock him. This excites my heart as a coach, as a Brazilian. He comes to our country and does not respect it. But it’s okay, now it will be like the cry of a loser.”
