In this Serie A, Roma scored a final goal in the final moments, but Zaniolo's wonderful goal was finally considered invalid by VAR. Zaniolo was then sent off with a red card for emotionally complaining about the referee. Mourinho also rushed into the field to take away the disciples who were still unable to calm down, but Roma could only accept a 0-0 ending in the end.
After the game, Mourinho was also greatly fired, and in an interview with the media, he also lashed out at the referee's decision in Serie A. Mourinho said: "I have spoken to the referee because I think he was wrong. If Zaniolo had played for Inter Milan, Juventus or Milan, do you think that would have been the case? He hadn't won a penalty in a season and was then often fouled and yellow carded with one mouth. So far, Zaniolo has 7 or 8 yellow cards and 2 red cards, which is Zaniolo, a creative offensive player. ”
"Take this game, for example, why Zaniolo was sent off because he said 'why did you blow this goal' to the referee 3 times in a row, 3 times in a row, but without any insult to the referee. If I'm the referee, if there's a player celebrating a deadly goal and then the goal is canceled, the player naturally has emotional catharsis, you can warn him, that's all. Mourinho said.
For rome's consecutive controversial penalties this season, Mourinho once again compared his team with the other three final three in Serie A: "If it is Inter's Lautaro, AC Milan's Ibrahimovic, Juventus's Chiellini, will Zaniolo give this red card?" ”
