Mourinho criticises referee despite win! He also took a swipe at him on social media

Jose Mourinho as we know him! Although AS Roma defeated Udinese in a league match on Thursday, the main topic for the Portuguese coach was the performance of the referee, which he took to social media.

AS Roma suffered their first defeat under Jose Mourinho at the weekend. The traditional team had all the more motivation in Thursday’s duel with Udinese.

The team from the Italian capital atoned for the defeat by winning 1: 0, but the three points have a bitter aftertaste. Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini was sent off in the 90th minute.

After a header, his opponent went down and Pellegrini was shown a second yellow card for an elbow strike that never happened.

Mourinho criticised the referee immediately after the game: ‘I don’t know the legal mechanisms of Italian football, but if there is an appeal, we must do so. I doubt anyone could say it should have been a second yellow card.”

And that is far from the end of it. The Portuguese coach also took aim at referee Antonio Rapuano on social media.

“Playing after a loss is never easy. Towin again is a great feeling, even if some guy decided to be the hero of the match,” Mourinho wrote on Instagram.
