MOURINHO ROME PAIRETTO – An excited final yesterday in Rome-Verona. The Giallorossi not only reopened the match with Volpato, but they found an equalizer with Bove and then also a final assault that almost led to a sensational reversal. And then came the red a Jose Mourinho for protests.

The gesture
And then, no post-race interviews, just a post on social media: “I fight for these people, and I better not speak”, wrote on Instagram. Pairetto he showed him a red card after the Portuguese showed him the gesture of the telephone, accompanied by the roar of the Olimpico, as highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, demonstrating that the fans are with him. The object of protest was probably the (few) minutes of recovery, or 4. Mou’s gesture triggered various interpretations, some linked to the past, others to the present. According to the newspaper, it could be an allusion to some phone calls, as if to say ‘who called you to decide this’. But it is only a hypothesis, since the ‘Special One’ has not given explanations on the matter. But his nervousness was constant throughout the game, from when he went to protest with the fourth man, when he kicked the ball in Monte Mario to when he then wanted to return to the field to talk to Pairetto and was blocked by his collaborators. Another episode in the decidedly less than idyllic relationship between Mou and the referees.
