Abel Ferreira, Palmeiras coach, reacted to the eight-game suspension penalty imposed by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). The club had not disclosed the details about which infraction motivated the punishment.
The Portuguese coach compared the STJD sanction with a fine he received from CONMEBOL for the same action. The difference between the two punishments was highlighted by the coach in his statements.
The South American entity's punishment had been applied previously, generating controversy over the double punishment for the same fact. Abel Ferreira publicly expressed his view on the situation.
