Leonardo Jardim slams ref after Flamengo v Corinthians: "All saw it…" | OneFootball

Flamengo and Corinthians drew 1-1 at Neo Química Arena, with refereeing controversies

The refereeing stole the spotlight in the 1-1 draw between Flamengo and Corinthians this Sunday (22). This is because, at Neo Química Arena, at least two errors disadvantaged the Rubro-Negro in the eighth round of the Brasileirão, which outraged Leonardo Jardim.

— Honestly, it was not my intention to talk about the refereeing, but everyone saw the expulsion of a young player of ours, who is making his debut this season and is very sad in the locker room because he thinks he didn't do anything special -, highlighted the coach, who added:

— An expulsion in another game, of Carrascal, which happened the same way today with Jorginho, but they are two different measures. Everyone saw it. You saw it better than anyone and it's not even worth talking about. For me, the important thing is the game and to value the attitude of the athletes, because playing with ten made what we did very important -, stated Jardim.

Which plays involved the errors?

At 40 minutes of the first half, the referee awarded a corner to the opponent, who positioned themselves in Rossi's area. Then, Jorginho was in charge of marking the defender, and the midfielder played within the rules, but the defender punched the Flamengo player in the face.

In the second half, Evertton Araújo contested the ball with Breno Bidon and accidentally stepped on the Corinthians player's heel. The video professionals, however, noticed the mistake and called the referee to the monitor. The main authority watched but upheld the decision to expel the Rubro-Negro player.

What is Flamengo's next game in the Brasileirão?

Without Evertton Araújo, Flamengo returns to the field only on April 2nd due to the FIFA Date period. Thus, Mengão's commitment will be against Bragantino, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), away from home. The Coluna do Fla on YouTube, as usual, will show the details of the match with Rubro-Negro coverage, in addition to the website and social media.
