Satisfied with the performance of his team in the 2-2 draw in normal time, the Portuguese explained what happened to be kicked out by referee Leandro Vuaden, even in the first half of the match.
–
– My name is Abel Ferreira, I am 42 years old and I am responsible for what I say, not for what they write. I was expelled because I said that: “two great teams on the field, in my opinion, deserved a referee of the same level”. I asked my board if it has a referee rating here. In Europe, the performance of referees over the season changes. I asked if you have this, ”said Abel.
–
– We had the two best teams, one in the Cup (from Brazil) and the other in the Brasileirão. I wanted to see the top three, and I am sent off because it was a light yellow (card) and the game is one of emotions and I was out. And the one who kicked me out was the little flag. Why did you say that. Abel Ferreira, 42 years old. These two teams deserved the best referee in last year’s standings. If this was the best referee, then we have to accept and follow. Brazilian football has great referees – he said.
–
Abel rebelled in a move close to the reserve bench, in which Diego fouled Breno Lopes and did not receive a yellow card. Initially warned by Vuaden, the Palmeiras coach took the red in the 37th minute of the opening stage. João Martins, his assistant, was the one who replaced him and also ended up expelled in the second half.

– The first word I would like to send to my players, for their personality, for the great game they played, with character. We scored a goal first, we suffered next, we had a chance that Filipe Luís (in fact it was Diego) took over the line. For me, the best on the field today was our opponent’s goalkeeper. We played against a great team, we made the changes that we had to make. We arrived with equality merit, and the second word I have to congratulate the opponent, who won another trophy. Two great teams. When playing finals, we like to see three great teams on the field, but today we only saw two – he added, citing the referees.

In addition to the move that generated the revolt of Abel Ferreira, Vuaden had to take important steps in the game in Brasilia. First, he scored a penalty over Wesley, but reversed after the VAR camera found that the move took place outside the area.

Then, he gave a penalty in favor of Palmeiras over Ron. In addition, Flamengo asked for a goal to be scored by Gabigol, but Weverton picked up the line. For Sálvio Spínola, referee commentator at Globo, all decisions were settled.

When analyzing the team’s performance, Abel considered that Palmeiras ended the game with the best opportunities. Despite the sadness at not winning the title, the commander considers that his group “showed character”.
–
– Flamengo has a very strong team, but we try to get in with a little experience, too, as it is a single game, without overtime. But it was a very well-divided game, and in my opinion those who saw the Palmeiras family at home are saddened by the result, but proud of what the team produced in the 90 minutes. It was a game of eye to eye and I said that we would be a team with character, personality, competitive, to defend well and attack better – analyzed Abel.
–
– We created several chances, the opponent, too. I have to admit that the tie at the end of the 90 minutes may adjust, but I believe that we have created more opportunities. We had two chances to take a trophy home and we were unable to materialize in the two opportunities we had – completed the coach.
–
Now, Palmeiras will return to the field on Wednesday, at 21.30, for the return game of the final of the Recopa, against the Argentine Defensa y Justicia. The game will also take place at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília. As they won on the way by 2 to 1, Verdão plays for the tie to be champion.
