The Portuguese coach was shown a red card for shouting angrily at Marco Serra, the fourth judge, arguing he had disrespected him with offensive comments. From the pictures, Mou may be right.
Jose Mourinho lived a nightmare in A series . Portuguese side Roma fell to Pablo Galdames’ Cremonese, who picked up their first win of the entire competition. Moreover, during the match, the coach was expelled and received two sanction dates. Now, a day after the meeting, A video has emerged showing the fourth referee saying offensive phrases to the controversial coach .
Precisely, The special one He was ejected from the bench for repeatedly shouting at the fourth judge, for which he received the two aforementioned suspension dates and a fine of 10,000 euros. In the refereeing report, the reason why DT saw the red card is expressed. “For having challenged an arbitrator’s decision with force and provocation in the second minute of the second half and repeated this behavior at the time of the expulsion. Also, for entering the referees’ dressing room and addressing the fourth official with offensive expressions and inferences at the end of the game.” .
However, Mourinho’s version is totally different. He states that it was the aforementioned referee who started the dispute with the offensive words. “I’m excited, but not mad. To react like I did, something had to happen first. I need to understand if I can take legal action” .
Later, the coach added: “Piccinini (first referee) gave me a red card because unfortunately he didn’t listen to what the fourth referee told me. I want to know if there is an audio recording.
With these statements, Mou claimed at all times that he was insulted and offended by Marco Serra, the fourth judge. Moreover, the Portuguese have linked the incident to the upcoming duel against Juventus. “I don’t want to get into the fact that Serra is from Turin and on Sunday we play against Juventus . For the first time in my career, a fourth official spoke to me in the most incredible way. It was unjustifiable.”
Finally, and with his personality that has characterized him for so many years, he said. “I told Serra she should have the courage to explain what had happened, but she had memory problems.” .
The concrete thing is that apparently the Roma strategist was always right. A video has started to air showing the aforementioned moment when Marco Serra spoke to Mou. According to the Italian press, based on lip reading, the judge’s sentence was: “Everyone is laughing at you, go home” .
The action led to an investigation by the Italian Federal Prosecutor’s Office to examine in detail when Mourinho was sent off.
For now, the only known sanction are the two suspension matches that have been granted to the Portuguese. In this way, he will lose the matches against the Juventus and against Sassuolo . Of course, he will be present for the Europa League Round of 16 game between Roma and Real Sociedad.
