The Brazilian league, despite being known for its incredible talents, also lacks some quirks.

“Futmais“ reported that the president of “Cruzeiro“, Sergio Santos Rodrigues, came up with a way to retaliate against the male referee Felipe Lima after poorly judged matches.

“Cruzeiro“ president reportedly had an affair with the referee's wife, according to “Futmais“. 

S. Santos Rodrigues came up with a plan to retaliate against the referee for the 2022 “Campeonato Mineiro“ final. He was very unhappy with the refereeing in those matches.

In the final, “Atletico MG“ beat “Cruzeiro“ 3:1 and became champions. There is also a significant scandal between these teams. 

🚨 The president of Cruzeiro, Sérgio Santos Rodrigues, cheated on his wife with the referee Felipe Fernandes Lima's wife.

One of the reasons for the affair with Tassiana Valim would be the president's revolt with the way Felipe Lima conducted the final of the 2022 Campeonato Mineiro.
