Rodrigo Moledo reports family threats after penalty error
Coritiba defender Rodrigo Moledo has reported receiving threats against his family on social media following a decisive error during a match against Internacional. The 39-year-old center-back conceded a penalty in stoppage time during the 34th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, which Alerrandro converted to secure a 1-0 victory for Internacional.
In a statement released on social media, Moledo accepted full responsibility for the mistake, explaining that he failed to notice the opponent's approach and made a poor decision. While acknowledging the frustration of the fans, he emphasized that on-field errors do not justify attacks against an athlete's family members.
The incident has caused significant tension within the Coritiba fanbase, with the organized group Império Alviverde calling for the player's departure from the club. Despite the pressure, interim coach Guilherme Bossle has defended the defender, stating that individual errors are handled internally within the team.
