Ramón Díaz, Vasco da Gama's coach, is at the center of the controversy after having made sexist statements about the VAR of the match that Vasco won against Grêmio (2-1) in their debut in this edition of the Brazilian championship.
The coach criticized the refereeing and ended up saying that it is "complicated that a woman is the one who decides in the VAR". It all happened after the Rio de Janeiro team lost to Pedro Caixinha's RB Bragantino, by 2-1.
"Regarding the referees, we can't talk much. There's the VAR. In the last match, at home, a lady, a woman, interpreted a penalty in another way. Football is different. Especially that the VAR is decided by a woman. I think it's complicated, because football is so dynamic, so much pressure, so fast, with such quick decisions. Today I don't know if the referee in a penalty in our tip. That hits and takes, I also don't know if it was a penalty", said Ramon Díaz, quoted by the portal GloboEsporte.
After these words, Vasco da Gama regretted what happened: "Vasco da Gama regrets the statement made by coach Ramón Díaz and reaffirms its commitment to reinforcing the necessary educational measures and guidelines in accordance with its determinations, values and principles. We apologize, as does our coach."
O Vasco da Gama lamenta a declaração do técnico Ramón Díaz e reafirma o compromisso de reforçar as medidas e diretrizes educativas necessárias em acordo com suas determinações, valores e princípios. Pedimos, assim como nosso técnico, desculpas.#VascoDaGama

Later, the coach sought out journalists to clarify his statement, claiming that he was misinterpreted.
"Something was misinterpreted from my statement. I want to apologize. It seemed to me that what I meant to say is that a single person cannot make a decision as important as the participation of the VAR in football. If it was misinterpreted, I apologize, but that was not my intention", stressed the Argentine coach.
