Rogério Ceni could miss Flamengo v Bahia, defender also in doubt | OneFootball

Rogério Ceni, David Duarte, and executive Cadu Santoro will be tried by the STJD

Flamengo return to action in the Brasileirão next Sunday (19), against Bahia, in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. The Salvador-based team could travel to Rio de Janeiro without head coach Rogério Ceni, who will be tried by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). In addition to the coach, center back David Duarte and executive Cadu Santoro could also be punished.

The trio was reported for harsh criticism of the officiating after Bahia’s 2-1 defeat to Palmeiras. The São Paulo side scored the winner in the dying moments, with a clear push by defender Gustavo Gómez in the buildup. However, the referee allowed play to continue. The hearing will take place next Wednesday (15), at 11:30 a.m. (Brasília time).

Rogério Ceni and Cadu Santoro were cited under article 258 for “disrespecting members of the officiating team or disrespectfully complaining about their decisions.” If punished, the former goalkeeper could receive a suspension of one to six matches. In other words, he would be unable to face Flamengo.

SO, WHAT DID ROGÉRIO CENI SAY AT THE TIME?

“The game is decided by VAR. Rodolpho Toski (the VAR referee) is the one who should be giving an interview here today. Him and Lucas (Casagrande, the match referee),” said Ceni. Cadu, meanwhile, said: “You again, huh? You already harmed us against Ceará and now here again. You will never referee here again.” If punished, the executive could be suspended from 15 to 180 days.

Finally, David Duarte used the word “robbery” and was charged under article 243-F, which deals with offenses against honor directly related to sport. If penalized, the defender will be sidelined for four to six matches, in addition to paying a fine of up to R$ 100,000.

“Gómez himself said there was contact, and the referee doesn’t see it. It’s difficult. Unfortunately, the referee came here and robbed us in our own home,” he vented at the time. In addition, Bahia and Palmeiras will be tried for delaying the restart of the match after halftime, but that issue cannot lead to suspensions for the clubs.

AFTER ALL, WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS BAHIA BE?

So, the ball starts rolling for Flamengo and Bahia at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) on Sunday (19), in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. Before that, however, the Rubro-Negro side will turn its focus to the Copa Libertadores. On Thursday (16), Mengão will face Independiente Medellín (COL).
