Cruzeiro ties, manager suspended for 120 days!
By: AJ | August 30th, 2007
Cruzeiro tied Paraná (who, for some reason, have an incredible record against Cruzeiro in the last couple of years) last night in a very exciting game - Cruzeiro games always are - and I don’t think there is much more to say. Our manager, Dorival Júnior has been suspended for 120 days for invading the pitch in the Botafogo game. Just another dirty trick pulled off to see Cruzeiro lose the championship. In fact the judges are so against Cruzeiro that the manager wasn’t even present yesterday! Yes, that’s right, the court scheduled his hearing practically at the same moment the game was being played! I would swear now, but this is indeed a family blog.

Harsh punishment. Did he just invade the pitch or did he do something more like strangle a referee?

He simply invaded the pitch that’s all. Another manager invaded the pitch and kicked a guy and was suspended for 120 days. The Brazilian courts are so biased of any club that is not from Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, it’s funny how obvious it is.
