Palmeiras sees 'violent opinions' against Abel Ferreira and contests the version of exclusion from Justice
Palmeiras strongly defended Abel Ferreira this Thursday (1). After being sent off in the defeat to Fortaleza in the Copa do Brasil last Tuesday (31), the club took a firm stance in an official statement published on its social networks. In the text, Verdão highlighted the referee's “oppressive attitude” towards the Portuguese coach and asked that he be treated in the same way as his colleagues received. He would also try the version given by referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio in the short match.
