There’s that Mourinho again! The Portuguese coach is fighting with his AS Roma for the European Cup, but it is not easy. His team is plagued by a large squad, and the famous coach has already complained about the quality of the squad. However, another factor is also said to be behind the recent poor result. The referees. His suspicions are well founded.
AS Rome failed to beat Hellas Verona at the weekend and had to settle for a 2-2 draw. This does not play well for the Italian capital if they want to hold on to their position guaranteeing qualification for the European Cups.
Because of the latest loss, Rome is only eighth in the Serie A table, but only six points behind fourth-placed Juventus. Moreover, the Bianconeri are not in the best form either, although they have improved considerably since the start of the season. Given the AS team’s youthful squad, it’s not bad at all.
However, coach José Mourinho knows it could be even better. So he is not satisfied. After all, he showed his dissatisfaction during the match against Verona, in which he was even sent off. His offence was so serious that he received a red card immediately.
What did he do? The Turin daily La Stampa claims that Mourinho shouted at the referee Luca Pairetto for sending him to the Roman team’s match with Verona against Juventus, with whom AS Roma could be fighting for the last Champions League place.
The Portuguese certainly won’t miss the punishment, according to Italian media he could be sentenced to two or three games, which of course would not be positive at all.
But why would Mourinho even say such a thing? He is obviously very familiar with the environment in which Judge Pairett is found.
After all, Pairett’s brother Alberto worked for Juventus for eight long years until recently. Their father, Pierluigi, was a Serie A referee in the past, and was also one of those convicted in the corruption scandal known as Calciopoli.
This is a corruption scandal from 2006, which mainly involved Juventus, who were relegated to the second league and stripped of two league titles. AC Milan, Lazio Roma and Fiorentina were also involved in the case.
