Fla idol urges club to act after refereeing blunders: "Flamengo must..." | OneFootball

Flamengo Will Have Decisive Matches in October

Refereeing was the main topic after the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. Not surprisingly, several teams took a stand amid the mistakes made. Flamengo idol, former defender Ronaldo Angelim, warned Flamengo and called for actions for the remainder of the season.

— I will speak a little to alert Flamengo. They are fighting for the Brazilian Championship, in the semifinals of the Libertadores, and I will say one thing: Flamengo has to stay very alert. Combine Flamengo, which is not playing well, and the refereeing, which now started working to benefit some clubs. Flamengo has to be smart –, he said, before concluding:

— Flamengo, pay attention. There is a Libertadores semifinal, a fight against Palmeiras, and something needs to be done now. It's clear, things are happening right in front of everyone. If nothing is done now, forget it, the year ends this month. If they don't take it seriously, the year ends this month -, concluded Angelim.

What Happened in the 27th Round of the Brasileirão?

The controversies began on Saturday (04), when referee Lucas Casagrande signaled a penalty for Red Bull Bragantino, where Marlon's hand, from Grêmio, was close to his body.

Then on Sunday (05), Ramon Abatti Abel drew attention with the ‘criteria’ used in the classic between São Paulo and Palmeiras. The most discussed issue was the non-call of a penalty for a ‘slide tackle’ inside the area by Allan on Tapia. On that occasion, the referee did not point out the infraction and, moreover, was not called by the VAR.

What Is Flamengo's Next Game?

Flamengo's next game takes place only on October 15, against Botafogo, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Furthermore, the match kicks off at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Engenhão. Thus, Coluna do Fla shows the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media.
