Villas-Boas at Porto ceremony: ‘Last season hit by refereeing errors’ | OneFootball

During an institutional ceremony, the president of FC Porto delivered strong criticism of the refereeing sector. André Villas-Boas gave his assessment of the last sporting season and attributed a decisive influence on the final outcome of the competition to the decisions made by the refereeing teams.

“Last season’s championship was influenced by refereeing errors”, said the official.

The statements were made on Wednesday morning during the ceremony for the presentation of the Medal of the City of Porto, an occasion on which the blue-and-white leader was honored. Villas-Boas also addressed Boavista’s delicate financial and institutional situation, with the club’s future under threat. The historic checkered club has accumulated debts of more than 100 million euros, a reality that led the Porto president to issue a warning.

“The loss of activity of a century-old institution in the city is no one’s victory. It is a wound in the sporting and social heritage of the city of Porto,” lamented the president.

Highlighting the value of sporting memory, the official also delivered a firm message aimed at unscrupulous investors:

“It is also a warning about the adventurers, local political interests, and wrongdoers who continue to treat century-old institutions as disposable assets.”
