Artur Jorge slams refs, eyes Flamengo v Cruzeiro 2nd leg | OneFootball

What did Artur Jorge say after Flamengo vs Cruzeiro?

Flamengo were held to a 1-1 draw with Cruzeiro this Wednesday (12) in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16. In a press conference, coach Artur Jorge criticized the refereeing over the foul called in the play that led to Flamengo’s goal.

— I was right in line with the play where the foul was given that led to the goal. Neither I nor the assistant referee saw a foul. I’ve seen the images, and they’re not clear. I don’t know if there’s another angle, but it makes a difference because it resulted in the opponent’s goal. It makes a difference to go in with a 1-0 lead or with the score at 1-1. I didn’t see any foul at all — he said, before concluding:

— The assistant referee, who was next to me, didn’t see any foul at all. That’s why I protested. These are situations that have to be very clear. I don’t want to say it with complete certainty, because sometimes there are images we can’t see on the field. But it seemed to me that it wasn’t a foul — Artur Jorge concluded.

Is Artur Jorge complaining with a ‘full belly’?

It is worth noting that Flamengo were upset with referee Yael Falcón. That is because, 11 minutes into the match, Matheus Henrique planted his studs into Bruno Henrique’s shin but was not sent off. In addition, VAR did not call the referee over for a review, keeping the on-field decision.

Shortly after, in the 22nd minute, following a header off the crossbar by Léo Ortiz, Lucas Paquetá leveled the score. As a result, the tie remains open in the Copa Libertadores round of 16.

What is the opinion of the article’s author?

“If there was one team harmed in Wednesday’s match (12), it was Flamengo. Rubro-Negro should have played with one man more from the 11th minute of the first half, since Matheus Henrique committed a criminal foul on Bruno Henrique. In other words, Artur Jorge is complaining with a ‘full belly,’ since the Minas Gerais side benefited at Mineirão,” said Davi Esteves, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
