Renato Vicente stated that Andrés Gómez had an irresponsible attitude by being expelled, but said that the evaluation of the incident should consider a foul suffered by the Colombian eight minutes into the game. According to Vicente, the infraction could have warranted the expulsion of the opponent and, after reviewing the play in the locker room, Gómez had returned angry and acted hastily after a series of the referee's decisions. He emphasized that this did not justify the expulsion. Vicente also contested that Gómez had previously displayed a similar attitude. He mentioned that on another occasion, the player received a yellow card for dissent after a warning, as he was about to join the national team and would thus clear his cards with Vasco. Despite considering the performance disastrous, he highlighted that Gómez provided the assist for the winning goal in a play that seemed finished. The author noted that he usually pointed out, in his live broadcasts, the player's irritation and rashness, but also his importance to Vasco. He believed that opponents would cite Gómez as one of the players who most annoyed them and required attention in their preparation. Vicente concluded that the criticisms made against the athlete did not make sense, especially at that moment, and called for unity. #Vasco #Futebol #AndrésGomez (translated)
