The manager clashed with his manager in the dressing room, after equalizing a goal during his visit to Sassuolo. Who was he referring to? According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, this is defender Rick Karsdorp.
He doesn’t like to lose. No tie. Jose Mourinho he wants to win everything and for this reason he didn’t like at all that Sassuolo took a point from them, when the match – valid for the Italian Serie A – was already over. Result which triggered the fury of the strategist and which triggered a new scandal in his career.
It is that the Portuguese did not contain his anger this Wednesday afternoon and as soon as he arrived at the locker room of the capital team, he asked the officials to leave him alone with his players. It was then that he spoke with two footballers: he congratulated one for his attitude on the pitch and accused the other of being a “traitor” and asked him to leave the club.
“The team effort was betrayed by the attitude of an unprofessional player. He betrayed everyone. Mistake is part of the game, but the unprofessional and wrong attitude towards your teammates is not. Sorry “ revealed the coach during the post-match press conference.
He then added that “after games I don’t talk much with the team, but I had sixteen players on the pitch and I liked the attitude of fifteen. I didn’t like it and told him to look for another team in January, although I know it will be difficult ”.
Who was Mourinho referring to? According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the Portuguese was talking about Rick Karsdorp. The defender allegedly had a bad attitude from the moment he was called onto the pitch, where according to the aforementioned media, “It took him too long to get back on the bench, put on the white shirt and continue. A member of staff asked him to speed up but there was no way, to the point that Mourinho had to give him tactical instructions while the player was changing”.
Moreover, the Dutchman would not have enthusiastically celebrated his team’s goal, moreover it was the last he congratulated Tammy Abraham, when he opened the account in the 80th minute. “While the whole team applauded a goal that could have been decisive, he gets angry with a teammate who prefers another overtaking solution. It was only at the end of the celebrations that Karsdorp went to Abraham to negotiate the goal, ”insists the Corriere.
Finally, in the local draw (five minutes later) and what ultimately caused all this mess, Karsdorp misses the target and authorizes the cross which ended with the goal of Andrea Pinamonti and he did not lick it too much. “ Despite everything, I am sorry because the effort of a team that played as a team was betrayed by a player with an unprofessional attitude,” concluded the technical director and added new luster to his already long history of controversies.
