André Villas-Boas reveals FC Porto complaint against Pavlidis | OneFootball

The president of FC Porto, André Villas-Boas, has announced that the Dragons will file a complaint against Vangelis Pavlidis of Benfica for an alleged assault on Gabri Veiga that occurred in Sunday's Classic.

"I find Pavlidis' assault more serious than Deniz Gul's penalty. The VAR fails across the board, it has to call the referee to review the incident. I regret that it did not do so. Pavlidis' assault is serious and FC Porto will proceed with a complaint because of this assault, as it is violent and could have caused harm to our athlete. The VAR must intervene here."

As for the president of the League [Reinaldo Teixeira], I must emphasize that he congratulated himself on the accumulation of points for Portugal in the UEFA ranking, something in which he had no involvement. These points result from the performance of Sp. Braga and FC Porto, not the merit of the League's president. I also regret his absence from the Classic: it is his duty to be present and not to be absent. He was with me at the Sporting-FC Porto and I do not understand why he did not attend this match. He will always be received with cordiality at the Dragon Stadium.
