On Sunday, Roma drew a point against Torino with a goal by Nemanja Matić in the 89th minute, and Jose Mourinho did not complain about the red card he received for insulting the referee.
“It was the right decision, for the words I said to the referee, I deserved a red card,” Mourinho said after the game.
“I spoke to him after the game and he apologized, but I don’t want to talk about how he did his job. I was humble enough to apologize, but I will leave it to you to judge how he refereed and in what way he influenced the outcome of the match. I don’t even want to repeat what I told him, it remains private. I deserved a red card,” added the Portuguese.
Even after the draw with Sassuolo, Mourinho was furious with his players and in a statement to the media told Rick Karsdorp to look for another team due to unprofessionalism.
“We had two games today. One until the 70th minute and one after that. Until the 70th minute, Roma fans just wanted to go home, after that it was better, maybe we did more in those 20 minutes than in the last five games. Why? Well, that’s easy – because of Dybala. When you have a player like that, everything is easy, he makes everything different.
How many more points would we have had he not been injured. There are teams that have great players for every match, we have what we have. I won’t even hide it, we have players who play significantly below their level. The coming break is the right time for each of them to look at themselves and try a little self-criticism,” Mourinho said.
