André Villas-Boas reveals FC Porto complaint against Pavlidis | OneFootball

The president of FC Porto, André Villas-Boas, announced that the Dragons will file a complaint against Vangelis Pavlidis, from Benfica, for an alleged assault on Gabri Veiga that occurred during Sunday’s Clássico.

“I consider Pavlidis’ aggression to be more serious than Deniz Gul’s penalty. The VAR failed completely; it should have called the referee to review the incident. I regret that it did not. Pavlidis’ aggression is serious, and FC Porto will proceed with a complaint because of this aggression, as it was violent and could have caused harm to our player. VAR must intervene in such cases.”

As for the president of the League [Reinaldo Teixeira], I must emphasize that he congratulated himself on Portugal’s accumulation of points in the UEFA ranking, something in which he had no involvement. Those points are the result of the performances of Sp. Braga and FC Porto, not the merit of the president of the League. I also regret his absence from the Clássico: it is his duty to be present and not to be absent. He was with me at the Sporting-FC Porto match, and I do not understand why he did not attend this game. He will always be received with cordiality at Estádio do Dragão.
