Bracks questions Hulk’s booking, meets with CBF referees’ chief | OneFootball

Atlético is still seeking answers regarding the yellow card received by Hulk while on the bench at the end of the second half of the 1-0 victory over Mirassol last Saturday (27th), at Arena MRV, during the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The forward, who didn’t even step onto the field, was cautioned by referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein in the 47th minute of the second half. According to Klein’s match report, Hulk received the yellow card for: “dissent by word or action against the referee’s decisions – For getting up from the substitutes’ bench to complain about the referee’s decisions”.

On Monday (29th), the club’s Chief Sports Officer (CSO), Paulo Bracks, met with the president of the CBF Refereeing Commission, Rodrigo Cintra, to discuss the incident. The questioning of the warning was also formalized through an official letter, in which Galo requested access to the audio recordings of the communication between the refereeing team.

In an official statement, Atlético released Bracks’ remarks, reinforcing the club’s position regarding the situation.

The CBF has not yet made an official statement about the case. Hulk, meanwhile, received his third yellow card and is out of Galo’s next match in the Brasileirão, which takes place tomorrow, against Juventude, also at the Arena. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m.

Without Hulk, Sampaoli is expected to keep the attack with Rony and Biel, who started the match against Mirassol.
