Durán Case. "I wish the referee had explained better," says the president of the Arbitration Council

Luciano Gonçalves, president of the Arbitration Council, commented on the Durán case, emphasizing the need for clearer explanations from referee Cláudio Pereira regarding his decisions. He acknowledged that Pereira's actions aimed to condemn a player's behavior that incited anger among opponents, but the communication was unclear. Gonçalves also addressed the Hélder Malheiro information leak case, asserting that it is impossible for Malheiro to have received prior information from the Arbitration Council, as appointment processes are conducted transparently. He noted that sharing opinions among club officials is normal and highlighted the selection of referees for significant matches.
