Abel Ferreira added more fuel to the rivalry between Palmeiras and Flamengo this Thursday (23).
In an interview before the match against Jacuipense, for the Copa do Brasil, the Portuguese coach suggested he was unhappy with the refereeing in the game involving the “rival” this Wednesday (22).

“Yesterday I watched a game where, if I were the coach, I would have been sent off,” he told Prime Video.
Right after that, reporter André Hernan said the referee involved “was the same one from the Morumbis incident.”
Watch the interview excerpt at the end of the video below (starting at 3:00):
The journalist was referring to Anderson Daronco, who officiated the match between Flamengo and Vitória at the Maracanã in the Copa do Brasil.
The game drew complaints from the Bahia-based club, especially because Saúl was not shown a red card after elbowing Caíque in the face.
Daronco was also in charge of the last clash between São Paulo and Palmeiras, at Morumbis, when Abel Ferreira was shown a red card for protesting a refereeing decision.

The sending-off led to Abel Ferreira being tried and suspended by the STJD.
