Cuca blames referee for losing Neymar for Flamengo v Santos | OneFootball

Why won’t Neymar be available for Santos against Flamengo?

Santos will not have Neymar for the interstate derby against Flamengo on Sunday (05), in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. Coach Cuca even blamed referee Savio Pereira Sampaio for not having the chance to count on the number 10 against the Rubro-Negro.

— I think that if you look at the play, he gets poked from behind by one, then another. In the heat of the game, he could have handled it differently, but the referee wanted to act another way. He could have avoided getting that card. It would have been an important match for him against Flamengo, but it doesn’t stop being important for us -, he said, before concluding:

— It’s a shame to lose Neymar. It happened right next to me. He could have managed it. He’s a very important player. In two flashes, he set up two teammates one-on-one with the goalkeeper. He’s very important for us -, he concluded.
