Filipe Luís: Palmeiras can’t complain about refereeing after Flamengo | OneFootball

Filipe Luís Didn’t Hold Back When Talking About Palmeiras’ Excessive Complaints Against Flamengo

The most favored team in Brazil cried! After Flamengo’s 3-2 victory over Palmeiras, the São Paulo team left the field complaining a lot about referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio. However, Filipe Luís told the opponents to ‘shut up’ about their excessive complaints.

On the goal scored by Vitor Roque, Flamengo was playing with one less player after Léo Ortiz was injured. Wilton took a while to authorize Danilo to enter, and Palmeiras’ number 9 took advantage to find the net. When asked about the referee’s responsibility in the play, the Flamengo coach downplayed it and criticized the rival’s ‘whining’.

— The substitution moment was more of a communication error on our part than the referee’s, but I don’t feel that any team was harmed by the officiating today. Let’s be honest, if there’s anyone who can’t complain about refereeing, it’s Palmeiras. So, for me, the result was fair — said Filipe Luís.

WHY ARE YOU CRYING, PALMEIRAS?

Palmeiras’ list of complaints is long. The opponent asked for a penalty on Gustavo Gómez, saw irregularities in two Flamengo goals, and much more. However, it was a ‘delusion’ from the defeated team, which barely saw the ball at Maracanã.

With the ball rolling and no whining, Flamengo dominated, with goals from Arrascaeta, Jorginho, and Pedro. On the other side, Vitor Roque and Gustavo Gómez scored for Palmeiras. Thus, Mengão and the defeated team are both on 61 points, but Abel Ferreira’s team leads due to the number of wins.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT GAME?
