Journalist urges CBF to fix refereeing for Flamengo v Palmeiras | OneFootball

What Did Journalist Eric Faria Say About the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras Game?

Flamengo and Palmeiras are engaged in a 'war' behind the scenes over several issues, including refereeing. In light of this situation, journalist Eric Faria suggested a solution to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) regarding the meeting between the teams in the Brasileirão.

“I don't see any Brazilian today capable of refereeing this game. They will look for his mistakes in favor of Flamengo, of Palmeiras… I would bring someone from England, Italy. Because the moment they announce who will referee, his life is over. They will start hunting for the referee's mistakes against Flamengo, Palmeiras, and vice versa”, said Eric Faria on the ‘Seleção SporTV’ program.

What Is Happening Between Flamengo and Palmeiras Behind the Scenes?

The main 'war' between Flamengo and Palmeiras at the moment is due to the values of Libra. This is because the Rubro-Negro does not agree with the amount in the current division of broadcast rights it receives, while Palmeiras leads the group that opposes the Rubro-Negro.

Furthermore, Flamengo continues to complain about refereeing errors throughout the games, especially in favor of Palmeiras. Last Sunday (5th), for instance, Ramon Abatti Abel did not call a clear penalty against Abel Ferreira's team. After that, the referee and the video referees received punishments from the CBF.

When Is the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras Game?

The game between Flamengo and Palmeiras could determine the teams' trajectory in the Brasileirão. This is because the clubs are fighting point by point for the tournament leadership. The match is scheduled to take place on October 19th (Sunday), at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
