Santos goalkeeper coach denies racism from Flamengo coach Sampaoli | Flamingo

Last week, Jorge Sampaoli, coach Flamingofiled a lawsuit against former player Neto, who is currently a commentator in the squad and, during one of the programs, denounced racism from the Argentine during his time at Santos, in 2019. The victim cited will be Sebastiao Martínez Oliveira Jr., better known as Arzul’s goalkeeper coach paulista club, which he denied happened.

connected with General ElectricArzel commented that he was surprised and denied any racist episode of Sampaoli. Santos’ goalkeeper coach believes the situation is nothing more than information misunderstood by Neto. Arzel reveals that he has already spoken with the presenter to clarify the issue.

– There was nothing. Nothing racist happened. There was no behavior at all. I think what happened was misinterpreted information, misunderstanding. Information arrived at Neto differently. I spoke to Neto. I want them both to get along, I love them both. They are important players in Brazilian sports. they are fine. I pray that everything goes well. the prepared said. There was a misunderstanding by someone.

In one of the statements, Neto said that Arzull was outside the locker room as Sampaoli passed Santos. However, the goalkeeper coach came to the coach’s defense and explained what he imagined was the presenter’s misunderstanding.

– I think there was a misunderstanding by those who spoke with Neto because there have been some changes regarding the CT changing rooms. Marquinhos, the other assistants and I started changing in another TC changing room. On match day, of course, I was in the dressing room with the goalkeepers ready. I have to warm up the goalkeeper. I am part of the direct and permanent technical committee. Complexo Modesto Roma is located in CT, near the locker room where the committees are. The CT crew asked the club’s technical committee to fill another part. At that time they said we were upset, but we weren’t upset at all. We continue to work without any problems. That’s why I say someone passed completely wrong information to Neto. It was an information mismatch – it’s over General Electric

The situation did not only surprise Arzel. Other Santos employees were astonished by Neto’s remarks and even made themselves available to Sampaoli in case the Argentine needed testimonials. The goalkeeper coach took the opportunity to comment on the relationship with the coach, which was understandable even after passing through the Sao Paulo club.

The relationship with Sampaoli has always been good. it was amazing. Atlético-MG time, I went to the hotel and stuff. it was amazing. He always respects and honors everyone. everyone. Including me. I traveled and attended lectures. everyone. In sports, and outside of sports as well, we had very good harmony.

The case is pending in the Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJ-SP). Neto will be called in the coming days. Sampaoli wants to back off the commentator.

On 18 April, when commenting on the signing of Sampaoli by FlamingoNeto expressed his opinion against the return of the Argentine to Brazilian football. The former player recalled the coach’s passes through Santos, in 2019, and Atlético MG, in 2020.

Neto then said that Sampaoli treated Arzel badly. The presenter suggests that the reason may have been the color of the skin.

– The man who abuses Arzul, who is black. And that he’s just like me, that he’s just like you and that he’s an amazing human being. This man, Jorge Sampaoli, kept Arzull out of the locker room. He hired a lot of people before losing his job. This guy is disgusting. Neto said he never treated anyone well.

Neto’s positioning had begun earlier, that same day, during the daily program “Os Donos da Bola”.

– He (Sampaoli) was racist in Santos, he didn’t welcome anyone, he never spoke Portuguese: “Please, no, sir, I’m sorry…”. That’s a little bitch. Such a shame, little dick, he doesn’t know anything about football. It’s a shame that Flamingo Hire a man like that – Neto said at the time.
