Farioli: “Suárez could have seen yellow, orange or red” | OneFootball

In the preview of the Benfica-FC Porto match, scheduled for Estádio da Luz this Sunday, the Dragons' coach was questioned about the refereeing of the Classic against Sporting, pointing out flaws in the referee's management. The match takes place at 6 PM on Sunday, with LIVE coverage on Maisfutebol.

«I would like to close the topic. Of course, with two Classics in the same week, there’s a lot of ‘meat on the grill’ to discuss. If you mention my phrase about micromanagement, I was talking about yellow cards, fouls that determine the direction of the game. In the second half, there should have been five fouls for Sporting and four for us, but it ended up being six for Sporting and one for us. In the game, this doesn't give us the opportunity to spread the team on the field, breathe, and change dynamics. Alberto Costa left because of the yellow card at halftime, but Maxi [Araújo] could have seen a yellow card as early as the 20th minute, for the foul on William. Suárez could have seen a yellow, orange, or red card. We know how it is and we move forward. Tomorrow everyone knows the importance of the game.»
