President Augusto Melo questioned Esteban Ostojich’s refereeing elimination of Corinthians to Barcelona-Equfor the third phase of the Copa Libertadores. After the duel, last Wednesday (12), the agent promised to formalize a complaint in Conmebol, also aiming at the South American dispute.
The main allegation of Corinthians is that Ostojich of Uruguay was conniving with the wax of Barcelona players, who defended a three -goals advantage built on the way. The Ecuadorians beat 2-0 in Itaquera, which was insufficient for the classification.
“On Monday (17) I will be at Conmebol, I will charge this. I charge, I attend all meetings. It’s time to change, to professionalize the referees. You can’t stay that way. He comes here, does what he wants, comes out unharmed, good. We work all year long and suddenly because of arbitration… But no one is justifying the defeat, we were wrong and we need to correct, ”said Augusto Melo in contact with journalists in the mixed zone.
The president will be one of the representatives of the group phase of the South American Cup, scheduled for next Monday. The event will be in Luque-PAR, at Conmebol headquarters.
Augusto, even, also made a request to the Arbitral Commission of the FPF (Paulista Football Federation) regarding the arbitration of the state’s decision against Palmeiras. The Corinthian leader expects referees of “personality”, especially after the controversial penalty marked in Vitor Roque in the semifinal between Verdon and São Paulo.
