Luís Silva Slams Refereeing | FC Porto B vs. Ac. Viseu

FC Porto B beat Ac. Viseu (3-1), this Friday, reaching 4th place in the table in this condition. The Viriatos ended up scoring early, but goalkeeper Domen Gril ended up being sent off in the first half and the Dragons managed the comeback.

A move that prompted criticism from the Viseense captain, Luís Silva, in the aftermath of the game. “Eleven to eleven was unequivocal, only one team played the ball. We weren’t better, we were much better”, exclaimed the experienced 33-year-old midfielder, who turned his attention to refereeing. “They don’t let us talk about football, if we could… We have to apply the rules to everyone. I don’t know if it’s up to the League, or the Federation, but this has to be the same for everyone and it wasn’t”, he said to Porto Canal.

And he continued. “I would really like to talk about the game, but the truth is that there were two of them. I think you [jornalistas] have this notion, we were better. Not after the expulsion. Their victory is fair, but it is obvious that there is a game after the expulsion. This gets complicated, this is football, but we have to start having the same rules for everyone”, he highlighted.

Regarding the championship, Luís Silva highlighted that there are “16 teams that wanted to be” in Ac’s position. Viseu. “There are 13 rounds left, there’s a lot of championship ahead. I don’t know if we’re bothering anyone, but I’m very proud of this team. On Monday we’re back to work, because there are things we have to correct, we’ve already turned a game from 2-0 to 3-2 this season and we have to reflect on that game”, stressed the captain, appealing to the fans: “We have Oliveirense on Saturday, I want to thank our fans for coming, with these conditions, and appeal to them to fill the Fontelo in the Saturday to get back to winning ways.”
