Mourinho: “The referee worries me”
“Sassuolo’s first threat is Sassuolo, an excellent team and a good coach. They’ve been preparing for a week and will get to the top, they have quality and we always have problems with them. Then I want to say that the referee worries me, he doesn’t have the sufficient emotional stability for this level. It’s not just Sassuolo-Roma, we’re 3 points away from fourth place, it’s important for us and the referee doesn’t leave me at peace. The VAR doesn’t leave me at peace either because he’s a referee with whom we always have I had bad luck.”

Mourinho: “I won’t name names”
“It’s a waste of time if you think I’ll mention some names of the players I was referring to. Today I spoke with the team, when there is empathy and love it’s easier to return to the normal situation after saying certain things. I continue to think that that I think, but the relationship is very good. We will go to Sassuolo to win a match that scares me for several reasons.”
15:20
Mourinho’s harsh sentence on Berardi
“There is a player, Berardi, who is fantastic, I love him, but he must have respect for his opponents and the game. What he does is too much, he makes fun of him, he gets yellow cards and non-existent penalties. I love him and I hate him , if it were my player I would have problems.”
15:14
Mourinho’s jab
“Do you know who is unlucky with Roma’s second place in the group? The Champions League team that has to play against us.”
15:08
Mercato, Smalling and the attack on referee Marcenaro
“Market? I’d like to have more options, but I don’t want to be misinterpreted. I think we are undervalued, as players and as staff. My team can struggle without injuries, but without Smalling it’s tough. Yesterday I did the math: if he doesn’t return until the end of the calendar year, he doesn’t do 68 training sessions. And someone who doesn’t do 68 training sessions, even if he comes back on December 31st, goes back to doing what? Playing? No, training. There’s time to get back to the levels. Kumbulla and Smalling are out. N’Dicka was a good hit made by Tiago, but he told me he was perfect to make the bench and now instead he starts every game, we are in difficulty. Let’s go with these, I’m more positive than before Surely tomorrow with Marcenaro Mancini will get a yellow against Berardi and won’t play in the next match, but let’s move on.”
15:04
Mourinho and Karsdorp
“Karsdorp? We almost had a divorce, then empathy brought us back. Tomorrow he plays, I know he has his weaknesses but now he is fresh and can play.”
15:01
Mourinho returns to superficiality
“Turning your head the other way won’t be the solution, even today I told the players that if we want to be ambitious we have to keep a certain profile. Maybe fighting for salvation would give me more adrenaline, compared to staying in a comfort zone and staying calm without responsibility. We need to raise the tone and have less superficiality. At Real I won the championship with 100 points and lost it with 93, it’s hard to have to win every match. We don’t need to win every match, we don’t have the potential to fight with Juve or Inter, but we can stay in fourth or fifth place. The work on the pitch can help us improve, but it’s tough because I work more with those who aren’t playing, the others have to rest.”

I have a problem with Mourinho
One of the problems Mourinho is facing at this moment of the season is undoubtedly the emergency in defence. This is why Tiago Pinto is already working to search for new names on the market. READ EVERYTHING
