Astride Belanger
End of series for José Mourinho. While he had previously won all the European finals he had led, the Portuguese technician indeed tasted defeat on Wednesday in the Europa League final against Sevilla FC. If the Romans opened the scoring half an hour into the game, the Sevillians equalized after returning from the locker room before winning in the penalty shootout (1-1, 4 tabs to 1).
The Romans could have all the more regrets as they touched the bar in the last moments of extra time after seeing Bounou multiply the parades. But if José Mourinho had it bad at the end of the meeting, it is because of the arbitration of Anthony Taylor. The Portuguese technician did not fail to deliver the bottom of his thoughts in front of the microphones.
“I said we would come out of this game winners or dead. We’re dead, dead from everything, from fatigue… It’s an unfair result, with episodes against us, he thus launched in a press conference. The referee seemed Spanish, he gave us yellows everywhere. While Lamela was to be expelled. »
It’s a fucking shame
And the tension went up a notch in the stadium parking lot as the referees were about to get into their vehicle. The images filmed by the Sportitalia channel indeed show him vituperating against Mr Taylor, launching various insulting remarks. “It’s a fucking shame”he launched several times in English, before switching to Italian to tell the referee that he had no “face”. According to Cadena Ser, there would have been added “fucking UEFA” for the authorities.
Chairman of the UEFA referees committee, Roberto Rosetti did try to calm things down, but he in turn was taken to task. “You agreed with them”, he threw at him before showing him the images of the penalty awarded to Sevilla FC and finally canceled by the video. “Even Rosetti said it was not a penalty and that you were incapable”, he then thundered, causing the leader embarrassment.
𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗼: “𝗦𝗲𝗶 𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗳*****𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗮‼️”
L’allenatore della Roma urla tutta la sua rabbia in faccia all’arbitro Taylor🤬 Mentre Rosetti, designatore UEFA, cerca di calmarlo
