Ex-Flamengo boss urges crackdown on time-wasting in football | OneFootball

What did Rogério Ceni, former Flamengo coach, say about time-wasting in football?

The match between Vasco and Bahia this Wednesday (11) was stopped several times due to the well-known time-wasting tactics. For this reason, the former Flamengo coach, who is currently with the Bahia team, Rogério Ceni, made strong criticisms against this ‘anti-football’ behavior.

— If a player fakes an injury, he must be warned. We have a count for ball replacement… and the goal kick? When are we going to do that too? Player goes down without an injury? Substituted – he said in an interview this Wednesday (11).

Did Bahia beat Vasco in the Brasileirão?

Despite the time-wasting, Bahia managed a great victory over Vasco, winning 1-0. Thus, currently, Flamengo is the only team from Rio de Janeiro to have earned three points in the third round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

It’s worth noting that Fluminense and Botafogo face each other on the night of Thursday (12), for the third round of the Brasileirão. In other words, if the derby ends in a draw, Flamengo will maintain this mark in the current round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now turns its attention to the clash with Botafogo on Sunday (15), for the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca. The match is scheduled for 5:30 PM (Brasília time), at Engenhão.
