In an attacking play of ours, Paulinho went to talk directly to the referee and got red, when all the players do that. It's no excuse for our defeat, but there's a lot to improve. There are things that are being directly against us. Before starting the game, they are already against us», he said, quoted by the newspaper O Jogo.
