Corinthians player fumes, claims referee is helping Flamengo | OneFootball

What did Gustavo Henrique, Corinthians defender, say after the match against Flamengo?

The match between Flamengo and Corinthians was marked by some controversial refereeing decisions. As a result, defender Gustavo Henrique expressed his indignation towards referee Rodrigo Pereira de Lima and, in addition, pointed out a supposed ‘help’ from the ‘man with the whistle’ to Rubro-Negro at the Neo Química Arena.

— We started the game a bit off, but we managed to equalize and got closer to scoring a second goal. But after the sending off, the referee got really confused. When it was 11 against 11, he was fine, letting the game flow. But afterwards, it seemed like he was compensating everything for Flamengo. That was our biggest indignation –, said Gustavo Henrique in an interview after the match this Sunday (22).
