Jardim loses it with Flamengo players over attitude v Vitória: “We spoke” | OneFootball

Vitória left ‘furious’ with the refereeing in the match against Flamengo

Flamengo took the lead in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. This Wednesday (22), the Rubro-Negro side beat Vitória 2-1. The team from Bahia, in fact, left the Maracanã complaining about possible red cards for Mengão. Fla coach Leonardo Jardim again called on his players for “emotional control.”

— We’ve already talked about this, about emotional control; in high-level matches it is important. We can’t have this kind of behavior so we don’t lose players throughout the season. As for the two incidents, I haven’t watched them again, so I’m not going to comment -, Jardim began.

— I think they are football plays. Although I still haven’t seen them, it’s not an elbow to the other player or anything like that, it’s a football play. Sometimes it happens, players lose position and see the opponent getting past them and open their arm to block, but not to attack -, he added, before concluding:

— One thing is making an aggressive motion, another is putting your arm in front to cut off the path. I believe emotional control is important in situations like the ones we have had in the recent past -, concluded the Flamengo coach.

Which incidents are causing Vitória’s ‘complaints’?

The first incident drawing Vitória’s complaints happened two minutes into the first half. On that occasion, Luiz Araújo hit Ramon, the Bahia side’s full-back, in the face with his arm. However, referee Anderson Daronco waved play on.

Then, in the final minutes of the match, in the 39th minute, Diego Tarzia challenged Saúl Ñíguez for the ball. As a result, both fell to the ground and Anderson Daronco called a foul by the Vitória player. The decision, however, angered the Bahia side, since the Flamengo midfielder appeared to elbow his opponent.

How did the Flamengo x Bahia match go?

The fans at the Maracanã watched a very lively game. After all, Flamengo opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the first half, after a stunning goal by Evertton Araújo. One minute later, Erick also fired home a screamer and leveled the score. Then, in the second half, in the 7th minute, Pedro got on the end of a cross from Bruno Henrique and secured the win for Fla.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now puts the Copa do Brasil ‘to one side’ and turns its focus back to the Brasileirão. This Sunday (26), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Atlético-MG at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) at Arena MRV, for the 13th round of the competition.
