In addition to losing 1-0 to Grêmio, in the first game in the Brasileirão, Santos suffered another setback: the expulsion of midfielder Soteldo in the 42nd minute of the second half. This Sunday (16), after the game, coach Odair Hellmann revealed that the relationship with the referee was “a little difficult” and said that he instructed the players to focus on the game and not on the referee. - We always talk and we will talk to everyone again. Before the game, I talked about forgetting about carelessness and playing our game. This relationship with arbitration is a little more complicated, because they have an imposition when they want to end this type of fight, and they increase the volume a little - said the Santos coach.Santos coach Odair Hellmann complains about disciplinary hearing after Soteldo’s dismissal: ‘Difficult relationship’
