John Textor is definitely going through a delicate period. After spending ten days at the bedside of Lyon, last in L1, making some lunar declarations and experiencing the shock of the injury of his coach Fabio Grosso after the Ol bus was stoned before the match against OM , the American businessman, failed to find serenity with Botafogo, another club in his Galaxy.
On Wednesday, he was in Brazil to watch the clash between Botafogo and Palmeiras. After the defeat (3-4) in the 99th minute of his team, while it led 3-0 at the break and again 3-1 in the 75th, Textor broke down and completely lost his nerve following the red card addressed to Adryelson.
“It doesn’t deserve a red card and it changes the course of the match. It’s corruption. The referees must resign tomorrow,” said the majority shareholder of the club on Brazilian television.
“It’s not your fault, it’s fucking corruption,” John Textor added to his players in front of the cameras. You can give me a fine, a red card, anyway it’s my stadium. I will always be there “.
He even called for the resignation of the president of the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF), Ednaldo Rodriguez. The authority was quick to react. According to TNT Sports Brazil, she has indeed decided to take Textor to court.
It remains to be seen what sanctions could be taken against him. If Botafogo still occupies first place, it has not won in three games and is only three points ahead of its runner-up Palmeiras.
