Palmeiras boss Marcelo Oliveira, who led Cruzeiro to Brasileirão titles in 2013 and 2014, couldn"t hide his dissatisfaction with the attitude of the referee Raphael Claus in the 3-3 draw with Corinthians at Allianz Parque.
Although we hardly noticed errors in the decisions made by Raphael Claus, coach Marcelo Oliveira criticized the ‘arrogance and authoritarianism" of the referee. Dudu, a key player of Marcelo"s team, had to be taken off after being booked and is also suspended for Palmeiras" next fixture against Internacional on Wednesday. Other Palmeiras players suspended for the next match are Robinho, Lucas and Gabriel Jesus. Marcelo told reporters: “I"m someone who greatly respects the work of referees, but I have to make a critique of the authoritarianism that exists today. Anything you say, you"re threatened to leave the field [expelled]. Palmeiras played a normal game, non-violent, but received six cards. Card for Dudu was absurd. He slipped, and then took a card. He"ll now be a major loss in the next game. The arrogance and authoritarianism need to be seen."
