Luís Castro argues with journalist at press conference: "I know what sells is blood!"

Record13 September 2026 at 09:26

Luís Castro, Grémio's coach, had a tense moment during a press conference following his team's defeat against Vasco da Gama. The clash occurred in the context of Brazilian football, where Castro currently manages Grémio.

Vasco da Gama, the opposing team in this defeat, is coached by Portuguese manager Pedro Emanuel. The match resulted in a victory for Vasco, which was the source of the charged atmosphere in the post-game communication.

During the press conference, Castro confronted a journalist, expressing his displeasure clearly. The most striking phrase from the coach was directed at the journalist, stating: "I know what sells is blood!", revealing his frustration with how the media approaches sports news.

This incident occurs at a delicate time for Grémio, which is going through a complicated phase in the competition. Castro's reaction highlights the intense pressure that coaches face when results are not favorable, especially in a context of great media exposure in Brazilian football.

Why this matters

This confrontation between Luís Castro and a journalist marks a tense moment in Brazilian football, directly affecting Grémio fans who see their team in poor form. The derogatory reference to sports journalism coverage also raises questions about the relationship between coaches and media in sports communication.

Scandal! Porto allegedly pressured FPF to remove Fábio Veríssimo from Classic against Benfica

A new scandal emerges in Portuguese football, with revelations that Porto allegedly pressured the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) to remove referee Fábio Veríssimo from the Porto-Benfica classic, related to the quarter-finals of the Taça de Portugal, held in January. According to messages handed over to authorities on the mobile phones of referees already heard as part of Duarte Gomes' complaint, the dragons wanted the removal of the referee from the Classic due to an existing dispute between both parties. Fábio Veríssimo had already been at the centre of another huge controversy with Porto's structure, when last season, at halftime of a Porto-Braga match, a television that was impossible to turn off was placed in the referee's dressing room, showing plays in which the northern club felt wronged. The President of the Arbitration Board, Luciano Gonçalves, allegedly threatened to report the FPF person who tried to pressure him.
