It could decide the game, the championship that is being decided in the smallest details, the Libertadores place and take away the game in the round on Wednesday. We were without Gerson, without Bruno for two rounds. Today, there was a penalty for Pedro’s kick, but it seems that the VAR was not working. We are scared that the referee would commit such a referee with Bruno’s. We are very scared about the errors in the refereeing. We hope that measures are taken so that the quality of the refereeing improves and that the championship is decided on the field”, he concluded.
