Francisco J. Márquez criticizes Federico Varandas: “He surrenders himself to the Carmelites and does not even say…” – FC Porto

Francisco J. Márquez admitted that he was surprised by Federico Varandas’ attitude after the derby with Benfica, considering that if the match had been against Porto, the behavior would have been different. “This particular silence does not surprise me, but it causes continued subordination to Benfica. The president of Sporting, when he faces Porto, always has something to say. When he faces Benfica, he always has something not to say. He pledges “silence and surrender to the Carmelites and does not say anything.” Since I am a Porto fan, I don’t worry. If I were a Sporting fan, I would worry. I remember the last match before that, they conceded an irregular goal. “A goal and not a word,” said the Dragons’ communications director at Porto TV.

Regarding the supposed penalty kick against Pepe in the match against Vitoria, Francisco J. Márquez fired on Antonio Nobre and blamed the media campaign against FC Porto. “When we see movement we know that Nuno Almeida cannot see the movement. On the pitch there is no repetition, it is based on conviction when the referee blows the whistle. In the role of VAR, this no longer happens. The only certainty we have is ‘VAR António Nobre saw this movement’ . He has watched it more than once. So after seeing it a few times, he doesn’t see it as a penalty? I don’t know anyone else who doesn’t think it’s a penalty. “It was a deliberate and conscious decision. Why does this happen? I think Antonio Nobre was having a good season as a referee, but then he made a huge mistake like that. It could have had a decisive impact on the match. It happens” because of the extremely exaggerated conditioning that he undergoes. His referees, who are afraid to point out moves in favor of FC Porto. They are conditioned by media campaigns, which makes people afraid to point out movements of this kind. Antonio Nobre is the victim of this conditioning and this should worry those responsible for football and refereeing, as they are conditioned by these media campaigns. “There would be no move like this that would harm Benfica or Sporting.”
