Odair Hellmann, the coach of Atlético-PR, expressed strong criticism of the referee's decisions following the 1-1 draw against Flamengo. Hellmann's frustration was particularly directed at the inconsistent application of yellow cards, especially concerning the treatment of Carrascal.

Hellmann left the game with significant disappointment, not only due to the result but also because of the way he felt the referee, Rafael Klein, managed the game's phases.

The Attack on Carrascal

Hellmann harshly criticized the referee's decisions, expressing his dissatisfaction. "For Papito, the yellow card is a pleasure. Carrascal would need to commit 65 fouls to get one," he said, according to Planeta do Futebol. This statement highlighted his belief that there was inconsistent enforcement of rules.

Hellmann also mentioned that he spoke with Klein after the match, asking him about the criteria he used. He characterized the referee's decisions as "hypocritical" and argued that this inconsistency creates uncertainty about how similar situations will be handled in future matches.

The Disappointment After the 1-1 Draw

Atlético-PR took an early lead against Flamengo, but Pedro equalized in the second half, securing a point for the home team. Hellmann felt that his team's performance deserved a better result.

The Brazilian coach emphasized that Atlético-PR played with intensity, organization, and character against a high-quality roster. He also noted the positive reaction from fans who recognized the team's effort.
