Scolar's terrible statement: If the plane falls, I'd be happy

Palmira coach Felipe Scolar made a very bad taste bath. After the 4-0 victory of his team at the Libertadores Cup, the technician said: “if the plane falls, I'd be happy for some”.

As he made known “AS”, Scolar has failed to properly celebrate his victory against Godoy Cruz and transition to the quarterfinal competition due to a statement that has caused much controversy. He said at the end of the game:

“Mattos, Cicero and the president know who I want. They'll work with the names I give them, but I won't tell them here. Among other things, the plane could crash tomorrow and everyone would die. If this were to happen, I'd throw a few fireworks for some of them”, the Periscope broadcasts.

A phrase that, especially in Brazil, following the Chapecoenean disaster in 2016, which cost 71 passengers and almost the entire team, has caused the anger of the media and the public to erupt, pushing Scolar to step back.

I didn't refer to the players, you (journalists) didn't understand my 34x1>, the coach said.

However, the damage has been done. Last week, among other things, the plane that transported Palmyras has had some problems, pushing land landing for several hours. /Periscope. com/
