Match against Coritiba was the last before Carlo Ancelotti was called up for the World Cup
The match between Santos and Coritiba this Sunday morning (17) was marked by a real confusion of refereeing at the Neo Química Arena. THE fourth referee Bruno Mota Correia (RJ) made a mistake on the substitution board and forced Neymar to leave with just 19 minutes of the second half.
Irritated by the refereeing error, Neymar tried to return to the pitch and received a yellow card. He even took the paper that indicated the change and showed it to the cameras that were broadcasting the match. “It’s a shame, it’s a shame”, shouted the star as he left the pitch.
Without the possibility of returning to the pitch, Neymar continued to complain from the sidelines. THE match against Paraná was the last before Carlo Ancelotti was called up for the World Cup. Neymar is on the Italian’s pre-list and had the chance to show his service the day before the announcement.
At that time of the clash, the Santos was already losing 3-0, and the star was being attended to outside of the lawn after feeling the calf. At the same time, the boy Robinho Jr. was preparing to take the field. The fourth referee raised the sign announcing the departure of number 10 and the substitution was made.
The big problem is that the replacement indicated by coach Cuca was the departure of left-back Escobarnumber 31, and not the number 10.
The replacement piece of paper was numbered 31.
HOW DID THE FOURTH REFEREE RAISE NO. 10?
