Filipe Luís surprises with remarks on Flamengo v Atlético-MG ref | OneFootball

Ramon Abatti Abel was involved in a controversial incident this Sunday (27)

Flamengo overcame Atlético-MG by 1 to 0, this Sunday (27), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão. Despite the victory, which returned the top spot in the table to the Most Beloved, the rubro-negra fans left Maracanã 'upset' with referee Ramon Abatti Abel. After the game, coach Filipe Luís commented on the refereeing and stayed 'on the fence'.

— It's better if I don't speak. I like Ramon (Abatti Abel) a lot, he's from Santa Catarina and I prefer to continue my line of not talking about the refereeing. Let's leave it at that -, said Filipe Luís, in a press conference. It's worth mentioning that the match between Flamengo and Atlético-MG was the fourth clash of the Most Beloved that the referee officiated this season.

WHAT WAS THE CONTROVERSY IN THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ATLÉTICO-MG?

At 35 minutes into the first half, Gonzalo Plata received a pass and controlled the ball at the entrance of Atlético-MG's area. Thus, the rubro-negro striker was 'run over' by Fausto Vera, who was the last man of the Minas Gerais team. Close to the incident, Ramon Abatti Abel signaled a foul for the Flamengo and showed the yellow card to the opposing midfielder.

Therefore, after many complaints from the rubro-negro players and recommendation from VAR, Ramon Abatti Abel went to review the incident involving Gonzalo Plata and Fausto Vera. However, even with the midfielder being the last player of the Minas Gerais team, the referee maintained the decision and did not send off the opposing player.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo, now, starts to think about the next commitment of the 2025 season. On the occasion, the Most Beloved will face Atlético-MG again, this Thursday (31), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the interstate classic, through the website and social networks.
