Hulk fumes at incident in Fluminense draw: “It’s a foul anywhere”

Scorer of Fluminense’s goal in the 1-1 draw with Grêmio this Sunday, Hulk complained about one particular incident in the match. The forward questioned the refereeing decision after a Grêmio player passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, who picked it up with his hands.

— The game was very scrappy. We tried to impose our style of play, but we couldn’t find space. We scored, but unfortunately it was offside. Then it came down to one detail that nobody can explain. The Grêmio player’s back-pass, when the goalkeeper put his hand on the ball — anywhere in the world that’s a foul, and the goalkeeper has to be punished. I don’t know why VAR didn’t step in. VAR gets involved in some things and not in others.

The No. 7 scored his first goal in official matches wearing the Fluminense shirt. Before that, he had scored against Bahia in a friendly played during the World Cup break.
