Soteldo is charged by the Santos squad after being sent off against América-MG
Soteldo's indiscipline was in focus for a few moments this season at Santos. Against América-MG, in the Brasileirão, the attacking midfielder was sent off after swearing at the referee in stoppage time of the match. The case was the scene of disagreements not only among the black and white board, but also among his co-stars. Technical coordinator Alexandre Gallo, in an interview with Lance! , it was reported that some Peixe players were demanding charges against Venezuela. - I can talk about my coming to the front. He (Soteldo) was a cool kid at the time, Aguirre and I approached him and put him in charge of the process, the physical part got in the way. We are sure that technically he will help us and obviously, if a player makes a mistake, there will be a penalty. As soon as the game ends, he charges his colleagues and they charge me individually. I expect a lot from him to continue his work to help us – said the former athlete. The face-to-face conversation between the coordinator and Peixe's number 10 has not yet taken place, as Soteldo has been called up to join the Venezuela team in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers + Are you already updated on the 2023 shirt? Check out Peixe's new uniforms! - I said that because of my contact with him. If the athlete is on the team, they must notify the representative. We informed the representative, he understood and apologized to Santos. I'll talk to him here later. There is the error, the punishment and the life that follows – explains Gallo. Adding to the demands and internal discussions, the board of directors of Alvinegro Praiano chose to punish the “shorty” by imposing a fine of R$100,000. CONSEQUENCES! As referee Leandro Pedro Vuaden pointed out in the game summary regarding the insults given by the Venezuelan, the player may not be able to go to Santos for a long time. As stated in the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), disrespecting the members of the refereeing team or disrespectfully complaining about their decisions carries a penalty of suspension of one to six matches, or 15 to 180 days. More precisely, he was judged by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) and had to serve a two-match suspension from the competition. APOLOGIES On one of his social media accounts, Soteldo apologized for the mistake in the fight and promised not to repeat the problem. - I want to apologize to all Santos fans. That's when it gets really hot. I still realize what I did. I promise it won’t happen again – cried Soteldo. *Gabriel Teles collaborates under the supervision of Vinicius Perazzini Follow Lance! on Google News Most read 1 Off the field Vini Jr.'s attitude towards Mbappé for Real Madrid draws attention on the web 2 Off the field Brasileirão: see title chances after Botafogo's draw and Palmeiras' victory 3 Off the field Botafogo fans highlighted guilty of partial defeat: 'It's called failure' 4 Discard!
