The two started arguing as soon as Luiz Flavio de Oliveira finished the preliminary stage at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte. The full-back even pointed his finger at the striker, who in response laughed sarcastically at his opponent.

Then the confrontation between the two teams returned at the beginning of the second half, but this time in a more heated manner that the referee had to contain. Luiz Flavio de Oliveira even showed yellow for both, and the card excluded Reynaldo from the classic match against Inter on the 19th in the Brazilian League, where he will have to serve a suspension.

”On the field I will always protect my team. He (Deverson) was accusing our players of things they didn’t do. I was just telling him to respect the game more because at one point he turned his face away, another time he threw a kick into the void, and he pedaled. Why didn’t he do it when the score was 0-0 or 1-1? “It’s easy to do when you win,” he began to say.

”When there is a kid who plays like Igor (Sirot), I will always protect him. On the play that Igor covered, he tried to kick Igor. I saw! Igor then looked at him and stared at the kid’s shirt, belittling him. I will never accept that! In football I have never done this and I will never do this. An experienced man against a kid just starting out at Gremio. He added: “I am sure Sirot will be bigger than him because he is a boy who is doing well.”

Deverson, in turn, also commented on the fight.

“I didn’t even hear what Reynaldo said, I didn’t even pay attention to him. He wanted to distract me and take me out of the game. If I was playing alongside him, he would be happy, he would love it.” No. 9 Gallo said in an interview with Premiere.

“This is my way, I always play this way. I won’t change now. I respect that of course, but my way is provocative. I can’t change my way. I scored the goal.” It’s part of football. If he was winning, as he was at home, he would still catch the ball.
