“Basically, the referee fouls, we call for a yellow card, because the opponent is fouled from behind, he didn’t even have a chance to play the ball,” begins quoting Emmanuel Lopez in the Record, continuing in the report. of the offer: “He makes a big fuss with his hands, to get us away and he hits me in the face – I didn’t care. Then when I put the ball in for the foul, unfortunately I hit the referee, I could have hit a colleague.”
And he continues: “At the end of the game I went with our representative to talk to the referee, to find out why he sent me off and said it was an attack. I told him it wasn’t on purpose, it was unintentional, and he just said, “Wrong timing.” I turned my back and left.”
Emmanuel Lopez does not find an explanation for the referee’s attitude. “At the end of the game, he commented to a policeman that he had marked the ball at his feet. Did you see the move?” challenges Emmanuel Lopez, who complains about what happened: “It doesn’t fit in anyone’s head. . It was malicious. It was pure evil.”
“I thought they might overturn the decision [de suspensão por 45 dias decretada pelo Conselho de Disciplina da AF Santarém]. I have been captain of Kaxaria for 5 years, I did not deserve this”, says Manekas, who sees an early end to his career: “Before the match I had already decided that I would leave football. I had a son a year ago, I work and Saturdays and Sundays were for football. I want to see my son grow up, I can’t juggle everything.”
“Disappointment and sadness” are the emotions possessed by Emmanuel López, who does not stop raving: “Imagine who was nominated for the next game? The referee [Adelino Dias] he will be assistant on Sunday, with Abrantes and Benfica. After what happened, recommending him is unbelievable, it’s disrespectful to Kaxarias.”
