Boto pokes fun at Palmeiras after Flamengo win: "Used to not getting help" | OneFootball

José Boto praised the refereeing but jabbed at Palmeiras for complaining about the whistle throughout the 90 minutes

The Flamengo defeated Palmeiras 3-2 in an eventful match this Sunday afternoon (19), at Maracanã, as part of the Brazilian Championship. Although Palmeiras criticized the refereeing, José Boto pointed out that there were no controversies and even jabbed at the São Paulo team.

— It was a refereeing without controversies. It wasn't the best refereeing, indeed. There were many fouls that the referee shouldn't have called. I remember three or four on Arrascaeta, committed by the same Palmeiras player, and he didn't receive a card —, José Boto began.

“Now, in terms of controversy, there was none. If anyone tries to complain, it's because they're not used to not being helped”, said the director of football of Flamengo, in an interview still in the mixed zone of Maracanã, this Sunday (19).

WAS THERE COMPLAINING?

Palmeiras complained about the refereeing throughout the 90 minutes of the match against Flamengo. First, they claimed that Gustavo Gómez was fouled for a penalty when the score was still 0-0. Soon after, they complained that there was no foul by Bruno Fuchs on Pedro, a play that led to the second goal of Mengo.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo now shifts focus to the Copa Libertadores. This is because the team led by Filipe Luís faces Racing (ARG) on Wednesday (22), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in the first leg of the tournament's semifinals.
