Mourinho, two days and a fine of 20 thousand euros after Rome-Verona

torino

To read the reasons, what comes out is a painting in which José Mourinho is put against the wall. The motivations of the sports judge Mastrandrea in the sentence on the facts of Rome-Verona tell of a coach “with a threatening attitude” and of the “serious and repeated insinuations” of the same technician at the address of the referee Pairetto.

In the face of such detailed accusations, in other times, we were used to heavy verdicts. Threatening attitude (the attempt to enter the field for a confrontation with Pairetto) and serious insinuations (“They sent you on purpose, Juve sent you”) cost Mourinho two days of disqualification and a 20 thousand euro fine: no bench in Spezia and same fate against Atalanta at the Olimpico, then back on track. Mourinho, but not only because the “rebellion” of the Giallorossi members in a match played badly and not closed with an extra minute or two of recovery counts as many as four disqualifications or inhibitions. Besides the former Special One, Thiago Pinto, general manager of the club, was inhibited until March 8. And the technical collaborators Nuno Santos and Rapetti pay with two days and one day off.

Roma is waiting for the documents to study the counter-moves: an appeal is possible. The Portuguese was a repeat offender for being expelled in October in the duel with Napoli and will be even more so for the immediate future. The ball kicked forcefully in the stands, the threatening act and the insinuations mimicking the gesture of the mobile phone: Mourinho has chosen to leave the scene in this way and to remain in the center of the Romanist square, today still lined up on his side despite a season lacking in momentum . «I will fight for you», wrote Mou on the night of Rome-Verona where by “you” we mean the fans. One wonders, within this blender of attitudes and utterances, how much the US property of Trigoria likes a certain verbal aggression or continuous provocation. «Nobody is angry with us», Pellegrini’s reply, the Giallorossi captain, to Mourinho’s requests against the refereeing class. The gradual nature of the sanctions meant that, broadening the horizon, Atalanta coach Gasperini was stopped for a day for “blatantly contesting an arbitration decision with a disrespectful expression.” Gasperini was also a repeat offender. –
