Anderson Daronco noted insults from defender Barboza and director Joel Carli, both from Botafogo


Flamengo defeated Botafogo last Saturday (14) by 3-0 at Estádio Nilton Santos, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The rival's defender, Barboza, ended up being sent off in the first half. Thus, the referee Anderson Daronco noted the defender's misconduct in the match report.

WHAT WAS SAID IN THE REPORT?

“I report that during the break the same player was waiting for the refereeing team in the mixed zone and uttered the following words offending the refereeing: ‘A la concha de tu madre’.

I report that during the break of the match, while the refereeing team was passing through the mixed zone, Botafogo's director, Mr. Mauro Joel Carli, approached the refereeing team and uttered the following words in an ostensive manner, offending us: ‘What did you call on that foul? You only call for one side, thief.’”

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

Barboza was sent off in the first half of the game against Flamengo. Thus, after the red card, the defender still directed insults at referee Anderson Daronco. Finally, Joel Carli, a former player and currently the rival's director, also made complaints.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo leaves Botafogo behind and now focuses on the next game of the Brazilian Championship. This is because the red-black team faces Remo on Thursday (19), at 8 PM (Brasília time), for the seventh round, at Maracanã.
