📹 CBF president slams behind-the-scenes chaos in Bolivia match: a shambles | OneFootball

After Brazil's 1 x 0 defeat to Bolivia, in El Alto, this Tuesday (9), Samir Xaud, president of CBF, was outraged by many events before, during and after the match.

The leader of the highest entity of Brazilian football complained not only about the altitude of more than 4,000 meters, but also about the refereeing, the ball boys, and even the local police.

The president of CBF also stated that he has all the irregularities filmed and that he will forward them to Conmebol in search of measures.

"It's a sadness what happened here today. We came to play football and what we saw from our arrival was anti-football. Even with this altitude, of 4,000 meters, we played against refereeing, against the police, against the ball boys, taking the balls off the field, putting balls on the field.

A real mess today. This is not what we expect for World football, nor for South American football. What we want is to enhance it even more. This kind of attitude, especially playing at altitude, makes it difficult to play football, even more so playing with 14 men on the field against a team. I hope that Conmebol takes measures, precisely because we have everything recorded. This cannot happen. This is absurd".
