Flamengo v Bahia: Salvador side lose ex-Flamengo man for Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Bahia face off next Sunday (19) in the Brasileirão

The 1st Disciplinary Committee of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) was busy this Wednesday (15). Besides changing the punishments of Jorge Carrascal, from Flamengo, and Abel Ferreira, from Palmeiras, members of Bahia, Mengão’s next opponent in the Brasileirão, were also judged. As a result, it was determined that Rogério Ceni, a former Flamengo man, will miss Sunday’s match (19).

Rogério Ceni was charged under article 258, for “disrespecting members of the refereeing team,” and received the minimum punishment of a one-match suspension. The coach’s action took place on April 5, when Bahia felt harmed by the refereeing against Palmeiras. The decision can be appealed.

WHO ELSE WILL BAHIA MISS FOR THE GAME AGAINST FLAMENGO?

In addition to Rogério Ceni, Bahia will also be without center back David Duarte for the game against Flamengo. In that same match, the defender spoke of “robbery” and was handed a four-game suspension plus a R$ 500 fine. The player is one of the team’s leaders and is therefore an important absence for the Salvador side.

SO, WHAT DID ROGÉRIO CENI SAY AT THE HEARING?

— I don’t know exactly what the full content of the interview was, because it was long. I don’t see it as disrespect toward the professionals who were there, nor as questioning their integrity, bad faith, or anything like that. I see it as a normal interview, in a match where VAR ends up deciding the game, in the sense that there was the option to call a foul on the play. To me, it was a foul. VAR decided not to call the foul, and that led to Palmeiras winning the match — Ceni began

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO VS BAHIA BE, AFTER ALL?

Tied on 20 points, Flamengo and Bahia will play a ‘six-pointer’ at the Maracanã. Kickoff is on Sunday (19) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Before that, however, the Most Beloved take the field in the Copa Libertadores. Also at the Sacred Temple, Mengão will face Independiente Medellín (COL) on Thursday (16) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
