The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) has reported Flamengo head coach Leonardo Jardim. This is because the Rubro-Negro manager said that Palmeiras won 90% of the matches refereed by Davi de Oliveira Lacerda.
According to information from UOL, the punishment may vary depending on the article under which Leonardo Jardim is charged. However, the Flamengo coach is at risk of being punished by the STJD.
Leonardo Jardim made the statement shortly after Flamengo’s defeat to Palmeiras last Saturday (23), in the Brasileirão. On that occasion, the coach said that the Most Beloved has less than a 50% win rate when Davi Oliveira Lacerda is in charge of officiating.
— I’m going to say something about the refereeing: I don’t understand anything about it, nor is it my goal to referee matches. But, as I said, I do look at the data. Do you know what Palmeiras’ success rate is with this referee? Do you have any idea? Ninety-something percent. Flamengo’s success rate with this referee? Less than 50%. A team that usually wins a lot. Look at the data — he said, before concluding:
— Opinions are for other people, not me. But that’s what I see. I see the concepts and ideas of refereeing, but I like things to be regulated. We cannot have the same situation with different criteria; that’s what I cannot accept in the competition — commented Jardim.
Yes! Leonardo Jardim will be on the touchline for Flamengo’s match against Cusco (PER) this Tuesday (26). The clash will kick off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the Libertadores group stage.
